    deadmau5 replied in the comments section of 3LAU’s post, kicking off an avalanche of negative responses from fellow DJ. “Here’s the best takeaway,” began deadmau5. “not a single person in that entire dumbf*** administration has ever known who the f*** you were, cared about you, or even gives the remotest s*** about you, and you certainly won’t be remembered by any of them. But everyone in this business will remember that you stood behind nazis and convicted felons who would further marginalize the very people who gave you a platform. What very little respect I had for you is gone. So glad you got some drink tickets out of the deal, enjoy them, you nepo pissbaby.”

    I love it.

        Yeah, scrappy young up-n-comers like Deadmau5 need help finding gigs.

    I was really surprised that the Village People played at Trump’s inauguration. I wonder how much cash he had to throw at them for that.

      From what I understand and heard through the grapevine, none of the current members of Village People are even the originals anymore. And their current form wasn’t exactly popular to begin with.
