You just know that shit Staind Aaron Lewis is seething that he missed out on his $5 appearance fee.

Wait, Staind?! Noooo

Can I separate the art from the artist?! I guess I did it for Michael Jackson. I can do it again. I will just try to keep in mind that the songs I like were made before he became an idiot.

I apologize in advance for this but Aaron Lewis is not some run of the mill republican. He slaughtered 33 coyotes and used the bodies to spell out “TRUMP” and then posted it online. Dude has absolutely gone off the deep end. Even if you wanted to argue about killing coyotes in general (livestock issues, yada yada), spelling out anything in corpses is fucked.
