Random, Spontaneous Thoughts about UM (Part 1)

When I worked in radio and had syndicated NPR programs I would hear um and all the time. Blue echo would pop up frequently

“I would love to shout out the band Umphrey’s McGee, who have been great friends but more importantly have shown me the ways of running a business”

Such great friends and business partners that he has to lie about all the band being “cool” with his ideas and is forced to communicate to KB

My favorite part was when he basically framed taking drugs and following a band around as doing market research

“I’ve networked extensively by ingesting butt drugs in dozens of major and secondary markets.”

Also if what he is and his persona is being conscious of his own brand… good fucking lord

To add on, he claims he lets his bandmates do whatever but the turnover on members in that band is super high. Like idk if I have ever seen a video with the same line up.

So his band is the same as the fb group he admins…makes sense

EDIT: too many cooks

Coincidence that most cult leaders are shitty musicians?!?

Is this whole thing kinda like Tiger King, in that it wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining if we weren’t starved for amusement due to being essentially locked down over the Covid mess?

I’m sure I would’ve enjoyed TK anyway, but we were so swept up by that crazy story. But now, I couldn’t care less that I saw it, and can barely even remember much of the story at all.

This whole thing is so silly, but I just can’t stop checking for updates. Why do I care?

From second hand coverage of this through das Bort, dude sounds like a classic narcissist. Whether he plays one on the internet and is chill IRL, I have no clue and no room to breathe…l mean judge for fucks sake. :slight_smile:

I don’t think he likes the good bands in the scene

Because while right now it’s just silly, when the 10k starts being collected/falls through we get some prime PT drama hopefully
