His life hasn't been an endless highway without exists - he's just missed the opportunity to change course time after time after time.

I felt that taking 10 minutes to write a message was a low price to pay for the chance to get through to him. It didn't work out, and I came out a little wiser about trauma and the effect it has on people's lives. I don't feel blessed he took his time to reply. It just confirmed to me that he probably is beyond help.

A fun moment from last night’s robust Q+A (on my Stories if you are interested). Listen: I love all fans, from all eras, they/you (if you are a fan) gave me an incredible opportunity to be an artist and have a beautiful life. Thank you. I am not unappreciative, but I also in this time of plague a shill or a different person than I’ve always been. The fans I know personally, the OG types are tough, independent, free thinkers and haven’t turned me into a plastic idol without fault. Rather, they encourage my humanity and journey as something they can relate to because we are all imperfect, insecure, and if we love God on a search for a deeper truth. Did you see the newest WSJ article on how interest in pop stars is waning? Gee, wonder why that is? We need real songs and stories from those artists now, more than ever (at least in our lifetime). And which someone like @postmalone can raise so much $ and awareness by using his talent to play some Kurt songs for every generation and connect those who wouldn’t normally be connected. I’m not here to divide, but unite, with one caveat: I’m going to do it in the manner I think best. Now is the time for clarity and tough decisions and real, divinely inspired humanity; where we lift up the real heroes of this world so that we can get back to being our indulgent selves; where arguing about words or context or silly memes is more important than the daily grind of life. Last message I posted was misread by some who took my words as worth worry or that I was voicing some complaint. I have NO complaint. Life is beautiful, I am appreciative and happy, but also concerned for so many things and voicing those things in my own quirky way, based on a lifetime of communication (mostly through a hostile media) is simply to illuminate and entertain. But please trust, as Bob Dylan sang, ‘I threw it all away’ for many a good reason, if only to be FREE as any person can be in this world right now. And that’s what we need more of: free thinkers, free hearts, innovators/dreamers who can build a new, safer world. So yeah, skip the fraud and keep it at the center of cosmic love and consciousness; the frequency of the real I of The Mourning/Radio

well if he makes a point that is completely incoherent, then no one can successfully rebut it.

that seems to be his main strategy.

Blocked.

If you’d said that to his face there’d be “violence”.

This was a nice and sincere attempt to reach out to fans. Stop being wankers all of the time and read what he is actually saying. Open your hearts.

Lumping all popstars as plastic and devoid of talent is classic Billy and still wrong as ever.

But in the same paragraph he says Post Malone who is a popstar is important. So go figure.

the constant 'real heroes' thing is kinda silly to me. sure doctors save lives and stuff but what's the point of being alive if you can't do fun shit like watch tom brady on sunday night football or sing a song with dave grohl at a gig

I don't.

Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood each had overarching themes. rising above Christian fascism and being a stronger person through Nitzchean methods, the shallowness and plasticity of Hollywood life, America's fixation with guns and celebrities. After that, he started running out of ideas. GOAG...tried to draw loose associations between corporate art and Weimar fashion, but wasn't focused. That's about the time he stopped trying to be seriously confontational. Eat Me, Drink Me was basically just about bad relationships.

I'm not saying every album needs a theme, but it's pretty obvious that MM's been coasting on his shock rock persona for a good long while without anything meaningful to say, ever since he brought the name out of retirement after a few years.

Seriously, what is "You say god, I say SAY10" supposed to even mean?

I asked Ram27 to ban both Kahlo and myself because I agree with him, this is what I file under kind and sincere.

Be careful what you wish for.

There are forces beyond and above Ram. This is all I will say.

Bill's so hilariously out of touch that he decries pop stars and then in the next sentence praises arguably the biggest male pop star of today.
