Arcade Fire - We (May 6,2022) Album • Page 15

Yeah I think we need to remember that our forums here (and what we view on Twitter) can often be an echo chamber. The wider populous unfortunately will care more about going to the concert. And there's every chance that even with a band in this general big sphere of music, just as many fans will take the abuser's side as the victim's. Many more will have no clue about any of this. I mean every time this happens the Redditors etc seem to be like 95% on the side of the accused.

 

They're limiting/removing comments on Instagram now.

 

wowwwww

 

Yeah. It’s a bit depressing to see how our purported values and worldviews shift when the perpetrator is someone we like or whose art we enjoy. But it is an insight into how pervasive are the mindsets that allow/enable abuse and how we have to be deliberate and on top of our own baser instincts/wiring so we don’t find ourselves contributing to it.

 

contracts make dropping out of a big international tour the day before you travel difficult so fair dues to Feist for doing a good thing under strained circumstances

 

Yea I think people need to keep the eyes on the prize here, I’ve seen many people demonizing the other band members and openers. Contracts are tricky and people have families and crew to take care of. The abusive one here is Win. If anything future contracts need to be written up in a way that protects other artists/crew/venues from things like this happening so they aren’t bound to go along with it. Should be a breach of contract by Win.

 

as always do not read the replies

 

courage and integrity to drop off a huge tour and lose out on money - good for Feist - buy one of her records today

 

bought the reminder after reading her statement

 

where is her merch lol

 

looks like she took everything down on her site other than her statement

 

she added all her links at the bottom now

Feist Featured

 

For someone who's only familiar with "1234," where should I start

 

they should have been the ones opening for her

 

just go in order really

 

My moon my man

 

A classic.

 

Incredibly well written statement

Also, Will Butler liked the post on Instagram…yikes

 

Watch Win like it too "Hey, she's talking about me. Must like me or something."

 

Watch Win slide into her DMs.

 

too old for him

 

Can't imagine this tour continuing much longer. The overall vibe must be really weird.

 

US leg of the tour doesnt begin until mid October, right? I gotta imagine once the European leg ends they pull the plug.
