Asked if there were any Canadians in the crowd in Berlin (there were) & said: “Don Cherry just got fired” to a loud smattering of the applause. Then turned to the rest of the crowd, Germans & others, & said “a prominent Canadian racist lost his job today.” The place went nuts. A+

It’s been a long day here watching well-regarded punks whose ethics were forged in the 80s and 90s fundamentally misunderstand, or disingenuously misrepresent, an important conversation happening about touring in 2023. Unlike the 80s & 90s, it is our only means of survival. Alas!
