Careful, you might get called an ass licker.
Hahaha! Hey if I'm one, so fucking be it.
Ok, here's my whole train of thought of why I "put up" with whatever "antics" he pulls. The man is my FAVORITE singer/songwriter/performer/frontmas/artist.
And everytime a fucking rocker dies, I'm fucking thankful HE'S STILL ALIVE! When some musical genius folks have died, or succumed to their addictions. He's still alive. And if he's late starting a show, hey, at least he's still on this earth, playing shows. I don't feel a connection, a passion, a love for another artist like I do for him. So many times, he could have died. When he came out with Sliver, I was scared to my soul he may not be around much longer.
So, to have him still alive to see such amazing performances when the other artists I liked are dead & gone I can't tell you how fortunate I feel he's a fighter & still around. Maybe that's why I "put up with it". Because the idea of him being dead for whatever damage he's done to himself is too painful for me to even fathom.
I'm just a fan who's happy as hell he's around to "be late" to shows.
Better late, then dead in my eyes.
If that makes me an ass licker, so be it. I won't be losing any sleep over that. And I've been called worse.
