What an amazing thing. He could have benefited from this tour financially and culturally and he chose to take the high road anyways. I applaud him to the ends of the earth.

Incredible respect for this man. Macklemore makes himself more relevant and gains from his stance. Aaron potentially destroys his career.

It would’ve also been incredible if he just went to the next stop and spoke his mind and hit the audience with “Free Palestine,” potentially (hopefully) starting a chain reaction where a supporting artist stands their ground on stage show after show getting kicked off the tour until they find a fully spineless or propagandized lineup.

How do you block artists?

u/Prestigious_Aerie219 Sep 15 '26

Depends what app you're using. Some you can, some you can't.

If you are using Spotify you click the three dots by their name and "Don't play this artist", essentially a block function.

e: spelling

You can request the artist not be a part of your algo on Spotify. Just go to the artist page, tap the three dots and choose Do Not Play Artist. BAM, you’re Ed free.

I wasn't referring to him. Nothing I listen to has his music but there are bands that have clearly paid to have been added to certain playlists and it posses me off so bad when they come on. If I want to hear 90s country, I sure as fuck don't want to hear this shitty new band every 3 songs.

I’m still shocked I’m organically Geese free still. I’m an indie junkie too.

He didn't have to cancel the tour. Some dates possibly, but there are plenty of venues out there besides billionaire stadiums. Also he is a gazillionaire and he could have kept paying his crew. Ed's a pussy and took the easy money over dead kids way out. Fuck him I hope he never lives this down.

Well done mate! Don't forget to spread the word!

u/maybeimamazed13 Sep 15 '26

Of course! And I’ll continue virtue signaling as well, apparently.
