It was me that posted the message about wanting the new albums - I don't know the guy that responded that well, only from music via FB so can't vouch for the likelihood of authenticity unfortunately. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clint Anderson" <xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> To: "Chris Bellevie" <x.xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> Cc: "Ed Tyler" <xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx>, "IDM" <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> Sent: Tuesday, 22 May, 2018 17:57:51 Subject: Re: ken downie of the black dog -- homophobic rant? Once again I'm kicking myself for not screenshotting it, someone had posted a message about getting the two new black dog albums today in World's Greatest Electronic Music Albums group iirc and on it a guy was saying "oh gee, i don't know, ken downie recently went off on a huge rant on facebook about homosexual men being pedophiles and a bunch of his pals jumped on the band wagon" now of course that FB post is deleted, there's nothing on the Black Dog group, and i'm not a facebook friend with Ken Downie i just sort of freaked out when i saw that because maybe i'm a little too personally invested in the black dog and it would really break my heart so, i just wanted to hear right away that it's all bullshit Clint Anderson Systems Engineer "Freedom -- paint me a picture!" -- Burton Cummings On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 11:54 AM, Chris Bellevie <x.xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: > Where did you hear this? > > And to unintentionally sidetrack this, I'm curious, have the band ever > commented on the level of input each has member has?
