Well yeah, but never mind.
How much of this thread is actually about Lightning Bolt? 20 percent?harmless wrote:WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUAllNiteThing wrote:harmless wrote:I didn't say you weren't allowed to enjoy the piece.

It wasn't about Steve Gleason's achievements, though they did show his biggest moment in the NFL and his contributions towards healing a city after a natural disaster (but who's counting). It was about the fact that a young, healthy man is dying rapidly and this band has helped him cope and given him inspiration to leave a legacy for his child.
Regardless of your personal condition, this piece has absolutely nothing to do with you.
Stop being a contrarian grump.
He's more than disabled, he's dying. You don't know my life and it would be presumptious of you to think that somehow YOU have a better understanding of him than I would.
But hey, you're right, we're all idiots for finding this piece touching, and only you can see through the bullshit. Bravo, enjoy the misery.
Based on your comments towards his interview, I doubt he'd say the same for you.
