My question is, if the man recording this is as appallingly rude as it appears, and if he said what you have posted here .. why did you bring it here and embed it?

Meat's suffered an appalling campaign of abuse, and from the interview which I've now seen, is still clearly upset by it. Not surprising imo. He's had to weather a sustained torrent of abuse directed at him by a vociferous minority (who mostly in my view know little about him or his work but are just the kind of empty vessels which jump on any chance to attack those with the kind of success they could never dream of achieving; anyone who could weather that without being profoundly hurt would have the hide of a rhino, and not be the caring and compassionate man he is, nor deliver songs with such deep emotional intensity.

Meat may be cruising YT for all I know, looking for videos that are a further collection of misinformation and profanity directed at him, his professionalism, his acting and his performing skills, but personally I doubt it. He has been visiting here regularly though, commenting on threads relating to the Australian tour, and it seems to me that a thread with this title might well attract his attention.

So why bring this here? If someone draws on's attention to something cruel, ridiculing, profane, arguably libellous, about one it's hard to ignore it. But not something one wants to see surely? Certainly not likely to make one feel better, or put the abuse behind one. I just wonder why ..
