OtherOtie Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 So apparently at some event, Daughtry performed and was then asked to give an encore. The man respectfully, if not a tad awkwardly, declined. I really sympathize with the fact that both the anchors and the crowd were pressuring him to give an encore; it's sort of a dick move. If he doesn't do it, he looks like an ass. But it doesn't even look like his band was prepared, they could have all been really tired, or who knows what? Apparently asserting his preference not to give an encore was something worthy of an apology... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhV9k3gO87s ...especially because he... failed to honor the troops? Sometimes I just can't stomach the degree of military propoganda these public figures regurgitate. I don't know if Daughtry is really that big a fan of the military or what, but the whole demeanor of this apology just doesn't sit well with me. I respect if he felt he had made a comment in bad taste, but the groveling, the sucking up, the belittling of one's self (you couldn't do what you do if it weren't for the wars in iraq and afghanistan... really?)... Just wanted to share my reaction.
Horseradish Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I find encores so weird, I feel uncomfortable to be in a crowd at a music gathering, because they have become expected.
