he is a punk musician.

being banned from everything for having an opinion makes it sound like he did his job well.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

they*

"Bob Vylan" is the name of group, not the frontman.

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

aahh, i did not know that - ty

His popularity will only grow from this, same with Kneecaps

I certainly had no idea who they were before this. And I quite liked a music video of theirs.

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Literally never heard of them until this past week. Bought 3 albums off their bandcamp and they're actually so fucking good

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

You just inspired me to buy CDs, but music is digital. I'll have to search a bit more to see if I can get physical music (I'm an old guy who prefers that) or not before I pull the trigger on digital goods. I'll check after work.

Hey office workers in the USA: three day weekend. I hope you're into debauchery!

i suspect that kapernick would beg to differ how the popularity will pan out.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

Sports bros and punks are kind of different demographics though.

Sometimes the issue you highlight is worth losing some things.

just like the nike ad.

i'm glad nike gave him the endorsement; he's going to need the money since no football team or league will ever give him a serious chance at a livelihood for the rest of his life.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't his net worth in the millions?

Nike supports apartheid, no one should take their money or buy their products

The Anti-Sweatshop Against Apartheid website created a series called ​“The Cashing in on Apartheid” which highlights brands profiting from the occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The focus here is on Nike, which is accused of financially benefiting from Israel’s colonisation through its renewable energy purchases and manufacturing ties in occupied Palestinian land.

yeah, wo the endorsement, he would have had to work a life like mine; obscure and unknown. lol

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Everyone should be able to live a comfortable life regardless of occupation, that should be goal at least imo

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bump the NFL out of the way. Kapernick is the celebration, as Bob Vylan and Roger Waters are the celebration. And corgiwithalaptop.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tell me more about this corgiwithalaptop?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 week ago

Their post history is available, afaik.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

?

They are openly advocating against an ongoing genocide that our governments are funding unconditionally in opposition to the vast majority of the populations

And I don't think Kapernick's activism made him any less popular, I also don't follow football

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

you'd think that this kind of altruism would be well received; but sacheen littlefeather proved that even the most bleeding heart liberals do not receive your message well if it contradicts their own understanding of the world.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Well, liberalism is ultimately incompatible with human rights. As evident by how it historically and currently sides with fascism and the existence of liberal zionism

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

He’s still been given sponsorships, with the added bonus (or really a trade-off) of not giving his body, and brain function (CTE) to a sport, for money.

How DARE Bob Vylan ~~BOMB SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS!~~ Bring attention to People Bombing SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS!

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

There's always one idiot that doesn't realize this is a satire account.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 weeks ago

Time for those festivals to start feeling the heat then.
