    Man, it’s so disappointing that the last couple of years really have made me outright hate him. Really love your music bro, but you’re a huge piece of shit.

          In the middle of one of his concerts last summer he pulled out this gem:

          “When God made you and me — before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are. Later on, when you grow out of it, you see things, and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good, but you know it ain’t right. Because a woman is a woman and a man is a man. That’s it. Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business. I’m OK with that.”

          The clip ends with Santana lining one hand behind the other, and adding that he was “Like this with my brother Dave Chappelle.”

          https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/carlos-santana-makes-polarizing-anti-trans-comments-viral-concert-clip-rcna101704

          Like, if you don’t like trans people I guess you do you, I doubt anybody’s gonna change your mind especially at his age. But, why exactly do you need to get on stage and disparage a group of people like that?

          What did Morrissey do? I would think he would be progressive as hell.

            He’s turned very much into one of those “Britain for the British” types and has supported people like Nigel Farage and the Brexit movement.

            Real shame, I love the Smiths’ music. Sucks Morrissey is such a douchebag.

                What do you suppose “Britain for the British” really means or what the major motivation behind Brexit was?

                This article covers some of his mega iffy stuff over the years going back to at least the 80s
