Writings in the Sand

You're not allowed to play in my yard

Some people ought not to take to social media when they're upset. They make bad decisions.

I just saw a video from some guy I've never heard of who apparently is in a band that I've never heard of and to my knowledge, he has never heard of me, either. Nevertheless, he is really upset with me and tells me I'm not allowed to go to his concert. Now normally, I only want to do things that people tell me not to. That’s why I never tell anyone when I am on a diet. If someone says “You’re not allowed to eat that cookie on your diet”, I have to eat ten of them.

But, if this guy’s judgment is so bad that he actually aims to stop people from paying him money for his music or for tickets to his concert because they make different political choices to his own, then I'm not sure that he would even understand my coming as a protest.

I don't know, maybe it's some strange marketing ploy? Maybe it's reverse psychology? Maybe he really wants lots of people to come but nobody knows who he is and the only way he can get any kind of publicity is to demand that people don’t come to see his band? Actually, I'm sure this is what it is. Because I don't think people from any political camp have ever heard of him. This way he might get some people coming out of spite and a whole lot of other people coming out in support of his ridiculous bigotry and hatred. I guess it's genius in a way.
