This. Every word of it.

I'm just surprised people are surprised. This dude has always been an asshole and a douche. It's cute when you are 15 but once you enter the real world it reads poorly. Most artists grow over time, instead of playing to the same base forever.

Quoted for truth.

From everything I've heard about what happened and talking to people who have met him, it sounds like Ben's a douche. Certainly not going to win over any new fans with all this. He's trying to be punk's Charlie Sheen I guess. #notwinning

How many people actually read the whole thing?

It basically focused on the band being fired, instead of them quitting like they said + some of them wanting to come back after releasing their press statement.

What an incredible fuckup.

They had a show at Reggies announced for the 29th. Then it suddenly disappeared off the website. Regardless of how much of a "tool" everyone says this guy is, I still plan on seeing Screeching Weasel at least once in my lifetime.

This guy is the absolute worst go crawl to where ever you came from.

soo..many..adjectives.
At the very least it was an entertaining read - used good imagery. Though that's detracted when I can tell the location he's speaking from is his anus.

Punk

You people just now realized that Ben Weasel is a giant tool? LOL His MMR open EDS pale in comparison to this. Still love screeching weasel

Okay, he punched out girls, which guarantees him the douchebag crown, I agree, but where's the disdain for the spineless cowards that turned on him when it suited? The only thing wrong in this story is that he hasn't called it a career.

I hate it when 50 year old men try to be punk. Seriously. This guy is about as white-trash as it gets.

I still wish that security would have just laid his ass out in the first place and beat the douche out of him.

I mean, you sucker punched a woman at a show. Nothing your old ass says is going to make me respect you.

You're right. Those are 3 productive seconds I'll never get back.
