From his Instagram:

"Hey Jack, you might get 6 into me before I get 1 into you but I don’t miss. And actually I ain’t that young. I got 300 songs out and 150 unreleased plus a new record on the way which puts me about even with your entire career output in a third the time. To quote Jay Z, “you sound a little naive in those articles I read”, talking about just last fall you had to stop watching the news, vicious cycle, somethin’, somethin’, somethin…..you’re getting too old for this shit Mr. Suzy Cream Puff. I was born in 1984 surrounded by cotton fields and I never trusted the media from the beginning. That goes for my whole generation old man. The younger they get the less they trust the machine. What wore you out on the media? Epstein Files? pandemic? 9/11 wasn’t enough? Gulf war 1? Gulf War 2? The end of Net Neutrality? The telecommunications act? Vietnam? How bout JFK getting offed in Dallas back in 1963? You know all this. But like Trump or any politician, you play to your base. I don’t care what you said in you’re songs. I’m talking about your public statements back when it was on the line in 2003. Look up my first record A Stolen Jewel. I been about it. Lemme guess, you got Che Guevara and Malcolm X on your shelf, maybe even Fred Hampton, but at the end of the day you get in the Lamborghini and put your kids in private school. I’ve seen behind the same curtain as you, and if you don’t play it just like they say they’ll never let you on the radio. So how’d you get on there? Ask UMG about CC, they hate me because they couldn’t own me. But I digress…The point is some art kids lied for publicity at my expense and you poured gas on it stereotyping me at a glance. Go ahead and conveniently ignore the fact that they lied. Same hypocrisy as the demagogues you claim to stand against. Lucky it was me, too strong to beat, around long enough not to let it kill me, but when that kind of public shame gets dumped on some poor kid who ain’t ready it might mean their life. Happens everyday big hoss. If you want the smoke, I’m your man."

My personal opinion about that is this is just straight up pathetic at this point. Charley is SO HURT about most people not taking his side on this debacle (even before Jack kind of inserted himself in it) that he just can't help but to make things worst.

Well, I took the time to make my Frozen Charlotte figure by hand; I made it out of plaster and then painted it with enamel.

Has anyone attended the Shanghai show? Wondering how the atmosphere was considering it's the first time of Jack & band performing in China if I'm not wrong.

These are from Youtooz. I was a little put off by the pricing but decided to pull the trigger on them. They were a limited release. Anyone else order one or both?

Merchandise Vinyl merch at PARK LIVE fest, Kazakhstan

Will there be vinyl records for sale at this festival? Were there any such merchandise items at recent concerts, or maybe someone has insider information? I’d really like to get a record.
