If you’ve also participated in some predatory behavior, what makes you think these women want to reach out to you?

Agreed. But also don’t blame him for making the announcement on the platform that all of this came out on.

Sounds like set break is over.

Not expecting this sultan post to really result in anything. He doesn’t apologize for anything. He acknowledges what he did is bad and has hurt people, but doesn’t say he’s sorry to those people. The blaming alcohol is like doubling down on it too.

It doesn’t matter how much he reflects on his behavior if the last thing he says is basically “I’m not going to apologize, you can pm me if you have a problem”

I think he thinks that having to show his ass by writing this long post and putting it on Facebook for his adoring fans to see counts as his penance. I hope I’m wrong and that he really does work on himself and make amends to the people he has hurt, but all of these public apologies we see all the time nowadays never seem to amount to much. The people who really do want to get better tend to do it behind the scenes.

That said, I know the jam scene has experienced a ton of unacceptable behavior throughout the past and a lot of it has been tolerated and hasn’t really come to light until recently. The one thing that gives me hope is that finally somebody was called out and put on blast for their shitty behavior, and hopefully that sends a strong signal to anyone else who thinks it’s cool to engage in Sultan-esque behavior that they will be similarly torched if they do so.

I wonder if having to make a “me too” statement doesn’t stroke his ego even further…

“Wow I’m just like a real celebrity having to apologize for sex crimes”

The post is full of replies of support and people telling him they love him. Of course it just serves his ego more.

I’m bouncing around threads and thought this was referring to the Greensky pedo for a minute and I got real worried.

dont his victims know about the suffering he is going through after being put on blast?

Doing some house cleaning during my time off. If anybody wants this 3/4 sleeve UM shirt let me know and it’s yours. XL. Got it as a gift but it was too snug for me so it has just been sitting in a drawer for a few years.

I still have a t-shirt version of this. It’s rare that I actually like any of their merch.

Live at the Murat still FUX.

Yes, but I’m still kinda sad that the Hurt Bird Bath from 4/7/07 didn’t make it, definitely the best version of that song that I have seen them play.

I could go for a Live at Murat re-release with both shows…and vinyl please. Too much to ask but @jwelsh8 let’s get your thoughts…

Agreed 100% on that. I also thought the OB was stellar, but BB botched the lyrics towards the end, IIRC. It’s been a very long time since I listened to the AUD recordings, but I think the OB is where the Angular Momentum jam actually originated. I may be off on that, but I feel like that was the scenario.
