Thank you. MJK came out on stage at Lollapalooza '99 in a bra, g-string, with half his body painted black, the other half red. People are still trying to understand and label them, 20+ years later.
@@MindoftheMindless10has nothing to do with “leaving people alone” the law was passed to protect children from seeing that shit. If someone wants dress up like women go right ahead. No one really cares. But children need to stay innocent and not have to deal with the bs in the adult world.
Yeah one time he went on a 17 minute tirade about bananas and being terrified of them along with the most outrageous stuff. Man I was tripping to and he sounded damn convincing 😂
What? No. How does having boobies have anything to do with his songs. He wears boobies because it makes him feel himself. Often creative people have heightened sexual energy. They channel that into their art. Its a sexual thing.
@@AR-mu4zq it's probably just a character thing for the show, really. this guy has been dressing differently with deliberation for quite a while and it never seemed to be sexually influenced. At least not mainly, if that's what you emplied. Check that famous live video of Sober when he was in a onesie with a mohawk mullet, for example
I don't think tool is underrated. They're on another level and everyone that can appreciate that knows it. I think they're ok with just that...and having several multi-platinum albums, which is expected of them but unachievable for most.
I’ve been a tool fan since I was in the womb, Maynard has always dressed however he wanted to, long hair, make up, braids, mohawk, dyed hair, women’s clothes you name it he’s done it. he’s the man idc what anyone says.
Everything about the guy is like a walking contradiction, wouldnt be suprised if he does it in spite of both sides of the argument just to piss them off because he hates them.😂
He’s been doing this for decades. Trust me, MJK hates DeSantis, but it has nothing to do with him. All it takes it a 12 second google search, if you’re not familiar with Tool. Also, cool Cavs hat.
He's been doing that since day 1! The first concert I went to in 1995 was TOOL, it was their 2nd time (they came to a club prior) in Salt Lake City! I'll see all you crazy, fun, TOOL fans at the Delta Center on October 11, 2023! And a few days later I'll be in Florida (at wholesome Disney World "The Happiest Place on Earth!") I need to get my crazy on until then. Magic Kingdom doesn't have any alcohol in the whole park, But it may at the Italian restaurant that features 'Lady and the Tramp!' We go to The TOOL concert 4 days before we go (And maybe Maynsrd will wear a long skirt, a blonde wig, a see through top with a tank top under, so when he stripped it all off he had some bike shorts, some Doc Martens, and a tank top that he ended up stripping off anyway!) And that was ONLY the 1st one I went to!! I've been to every single one that has come to SLC, Utah ever since! They put on an amazing show! ❤ I love all band members but Maynard and Danny Carey (the drummer) are SO TALENTED! ALL OF THEM ARE! I LOVE THE INTOS OF BASS RIFFS, GUITAR RIFFS OR DRUM SOLOS to begin. They haven't stopped being my favorite band since 1992! Their last concert I saw kids from like 10 years old to 60 something or 70 something. They are so good they have fans of ALL AGES! ❤❤❤
Since when is banning children from attending drag shows considered absurd?? It's perfectly rational. The definition of 'Drag" is men dressing in women's clothing as it sexually arouses them, NOT to be confused with being Trans which is completely different. Why is it required by so many people on the left that children attend events with sexually aroused men??
Firstly drag has nothing to do with arousal, it's a performance, and has entertained adults and children alike dating back centuries - I personally don't enjoy it but that's besides the point - demonsing it in this way is a very new thing. Some people cross-dress for sexual reasons but even that term doesn't imply a sexual aspect to it. Secondly, while you're right to draw a distinction, the way the law is worded very deliberately _does_ include trans people, effectively banning them from anything that law enforcement could consider public performance.
If kids can attend church, they can attend whatever the fuck their patents want them to attend. I’m sure you’d be fine with them going to a gun show right?
For everybody that thinks that this is going to be a blanket law that covers any drag at all is misinformed. This has to do with children who are too young and impressionable to understand quite who they are yet. It is very relieving that Maynard did not do this for a political statement. I didn't want to have to boycott another one of my favorite artists. Yes, I'm Petty like that.
It's funny watching people who support these kinds of policies explain to themselves how this is different or at the very least make out the forest for the trees. One could argue this was inappropriate at in All AGES show. That's the problem. This is a pick and chose what the right has a beef with. These laws don't do shit except bash queer folk.
@chippewaguy4193 yeah that's your take, go ask any bigot on that side of the fence. Like I said it was an ALL AGES SHOW. So to recap, you have a man dressed in drag on stage in front of minors. Tell me your looking the other way, without telling me. Smdh
Doesn’t the law just ban children from adult live shows? Drag shows are often kinda sexual from what I’ve seen even if not all of them are. Calling this an “anti drag law” is such exaggeration and misinformation.
For there to be ANY validity to those lawsuits, he would have had to done something SEXUAL, otherwise it holds no merit at all, those cases will totally be thrown out 😂 (and this is coming from a guy who supported the Florida bill)
yeah maybe if hes not queer (i know nothing about this guy), but with the florida bill any public performance put on by a queer person can be counted as illegal. that could be anything from a drag show that doesnt hurt anyone to a person wearing a lesbian pin filming a tiktok in public
@@percy.loves.plants well, it doesn’t make much sense to have a “kid friendly” drag show, cross dressing doesn’t classify as a “drag show” making it a stupid lawsuit, some drag shows have flat out stripping, some are burlesque, it’s not like we haven’t set regulations for women behaving like this around children, my friends get called out (by upset mothers usually) for wearing thongs at some beaches, or pools, which I find even more absurd, but sometimes they’ve been ordered by staff to change, and it’s not like we haven’t established protocols for public indecency, people at festivals dress almost naked frequently, that gets aired and broadcasted too Like, I’ve known about drag since 2016 ish, nobody had anything against it when it was more uncommon, but when kids got involved that circumstance was GONE, and I’m sad cause some drag queens are really fucking funny
@@yodieyuhThese various bills and laws use vague and subjective words like "obscene" and "abnormal", but they do not make any concrete distinction about what is and is not obscene or abnormal. This leaves any charge up to the discretion of a conservative appointed judge. It is left vague intentionally so that when a young boy asks his teacher if it's ok that he likes boys instead of girls, the teacher who says "yes of course that's ok" can be found guilty of violating the law, while the teacher who says "No, it is wrong, God punishes people for that" can be found not guilty. The entire point of these laws is to create an environment where lgbtq people and anyone who is kind to, or speaks positively about them can be threatened or punished into silence, while conservative Christians are free to use threats of eternal suffering to groom children into heterosexuality, whether they are or not. Under Florida law, a parent who respects their child's free will and allows them to live as a gender different from the one on their birth certificate is a groomer and a child abuser because to a conservative judge that is obscene and abnormal, and they are therefore guilty. Meanwhile a 19 year old "youth leader" teaching an 11 year old girl that her virginity is a "gift" she should save for her husband, only to start "courting" her at 14, and marrying her on her 18th birthday, would never be considered a groomer by that very same judge, nor would the parents be seen as neglectful, because to a conservative judge that kind of "old fashioned" courtship is ideal, and right. It's disgusting, and deeply sad.
Could you point out whats inherently sexual about it? Are you turned on by it? Is that why you find it sexual? I have been to drag shows, and most I'd feel comfortable watching with my mother. I've also been to shows (not drag) that were marketed as family friendly that I've felt so uncomfortable at, but because its gender conforming its somehow ok. There are 18+ Adult drag shows, just like there are 18+ Burlesque shows, neither of which I'd bring a child to. But plenty of parents have been fine bringing their kids to Hooters. It's the hypocrisy that irritates me. If you're truly wanting to protect kids, how about we focus on some real issues.
@@SolidifiedHoney kids shouldn’t be exposed to gay men dressing up as women. It’s very sexual to the gay guy who thinks he’s a woman.its clearly a turn on. I don’t care what anyone does that is their kink or whatever, just don’t involve young kids.
@@VintageBalderdashmost people don't care about the "costume" itself but the sexual overtones, sometimes just blatantly sexual outfits, and routines being displayed in front of children. It is about children not the drag community themselves. It is akin to inviting strippers to perform i. Front of children, they just shouldn't be exposed to that, plus they shouldnt be forced into their parents bullshit political viewpoints. Let them be kids
@@lucassmith1886 "Sometimes" doing a lot of heavy lifting here. They're reading Hop on Pop to 6 year olds, not spinning the pole. Stop being disingenuous AND a coward. Oh the PARENTS. Won't someone think of the parents?? Hooters has a "Kids eat free" special on Sundays, and you're worried about grooming from drag time story hour? Nah, go eat shit. "Let kids be kids." God forbid Mikey wants to play with the Easy Bake oven.
Drag isn't a sexual act. It's no more sexual than a Miley Cyrus concert people let kids attend. Or other artists kids like that are similar. Beauty pageants for kids should be on your radar. They actually sexualize the children. They alter their appearance with make-up, fake teeth, fake hair, costumes, and other products that objectifies them at such a young age. And they're actually harmful to the children's mental health and well-being. But conservatives dont complain about those.
I hate when people bring up “family friendly” drag shows that get sexual and say “I didn’t see any kids.” It doesn’t matter if any kids went to the show, what matter is that they were trying to get kids to come. If there not being any kids actually there makes it acceptable, then a pedo telling kids to get in his van for candy is acceptable as long as no kids actually get in the van. It’s fine if he only tried to get them in his van. If something is sexual, you shouldn’t promote it as family friendly, and if you do, don’t complain when people call you a child predator.
How is a drag show any more sexual than a Miley Cyrus concert or any other comparable artist people let children attend? Child beauty pageants do more harm to children than any of this. They literally sexualize the kids with that make-up, fake teeth, fake hair, costumes and other products that objectifies them at such a young age. Trying to make 6 year old girls look like an adult and prance around in skimpy swimsuits as part of the show. Not to mention the negative impact on the kids mental health. But conservatives don't think twice about that.
Churches brand themselves as "family-friendly" and someone very close to me was molested by his pastor. They would never try to make youth groups illegal, though. They love church and don't give a shit if those kids get raped as long as a "gay" didn't do it
I would like to know who is making money off of my freaking ideas; and, why am I NOT?!? Case in point: THAT JEWISH LASER SHIRT. THE ONLY two people (maybe three) that I said anything about that to: I KNOW WHO YOU ARE; although I MAY have ALSO put it on Twitter.
