todo sucedió hace algunos días durante una presentación en oslo, noruega.

mientras los qotsa tocaban ‘3’s & 7’s, un objeto contundente le cayó al inquieto josh homme, quien identificó al agresor, lo confontó verbalmente -tú sabes, le dijo su vida- y finalmente le devolvió el golpe. así es, mientras sid vicious parecía disfrutar con estas cosas, otros grupos aguantan estoicamente las agresiones y otros tratan infructuosamente de buscar a un culpable entre la multitud, josh homme tuvo la suerte de identificarlo.

pero lo triste de la historia no vino por parte de josh homme, sino de los moralistas de siempre que invocaron al libro de las palabras correctos y le enrostraron el hecho de que josh homme le haya dicho "gay" de una manera poco cortés al agresor -específicamente mencionó la palabra "faggot", una manera despectiva de referirse a los homosexuales-; así es, la gente que gusta de poner palabras en bocas de otros está en todas partes.

aquí, la respuesta del líder de los qotsa, una carta abierta en la que despotrica de esos "perros guardianes" moralistas, de como no se deben interpretar literalmente algunas frases y hasta una referencia al nombre "reinas de la edad de piedra":

"member of the peanut gallery:

some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: q? am i a homophobe because i included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing i gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? a= nope. my gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW i am not a homophobe. for years now I’ve known gay is not a choice; one’s skin color doesn’t determine one’s intelligence level; & red hair doesn’t mean you’re someone’s stepchild. you see, it’s not the words, it’s their intent. i never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! by that logic… i also told that young whipper snapper i’d have anal sex with him… how can i possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? i called him a pussy too. does it mean I hate our one worlds’ collective vagina? i never have been nor intend to be politically correct. that’s your cross to bear. to me, that pc world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at glastonbury. homophobic? i’m in queens of the stone age for crissake… you say, "so. your band name doesn’t prove anything." maybe not. but it’s a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog… (sorry canine-american, canine-european, canine-african, canine-australian & canine-asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? if your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher bill hicks once suggested: - forgive me-. or don’t. i’m not asking for either, ok? i think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. either way i expect that you’ll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us… because you’re so above it all. or If you’ll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your pc lingo:
will you please go have consensual, sex with yourself.
pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.

sincerely,
mr. missundastood
