Seriously. The guy works obscenely hard for Warped Tour and countless other events to happen.

But I guess it's alright to lose every ounce of respect for the time he puts in just because he probably had a hand in letting one or two bands get a small slot.

No, I was being completely sarcastic; I even enjoyed Warped this year even though the majority of the bands were shitty. He's done a lot for the festival circuit over the years, that's for sure. I predict this thread will be full of people being completely serious about hating the guy because of a few bands...

He's given so much attention to the poor shit bands everyone forgets and doesn't care about.

The man is a true legend.
