Still, it's a bit tacky to mock someone the day they die, don't you think? Not that I'm a fan.
But what if I thought the Clash sucked, and I came on here mocking Joe Strummer the day he died. Would there be nothing wrong with that?
There would be something wrong that for the undeniable fact that The Clash fuckin' RAWKED. Regardless of how you may feel about them on a personal level, the Clash were great. Don't gotta like 'em, but if you REALLY fuck with music you MUST at the least respect them/their catalog.
On some real shit though, I believe Joe Strummer moved more people on a personal level than Falwell ever did. You're talking about a pompous hatemonger (This is coming from someone that's actually a "Christian.") who moved a couple hundred thousand people (and THAT may be a push) versus someone who touched millions. The fact that a lead singer of a band is more revered than a so-called man of God should be some foretelling shit. Real talk.
Now, with that all said, do I take joy in this man's Falwell's death?
Nah, I don't. That's some wrong shit. Somebody lost a husband, a father, etc. So my heart goes out to his family. But there's one question that needs to be answered here.
Will I, TheDirector217, carrier of the large, ahem, organ, miss Jerry Falwell???
I answer that with a resounding
FUCK NO. True story. Good day . . . . .
