Birmingham guitarist Phillip McCain is now losing work and has been thrown out of his band, Buck Wild. So far, three venues have canceled his gigs so now he says he misspoke (LOL) when he said that he will volunteer to shoot their a**es when they approach the border. Problem solved. No more illegal f*cks coming in here. Period.
Sure, thats a total misspeak. So, he continued misspeaking.

The now-out-of-work guitarist said that he was only expressing his opinion and he just wants to protect the United States borders at any cost.
One of the venues that canceled McCains gig is a Mexican restaurant whose manager is an immigrant and says the clientele there is diverse. McCain told AL.com that not only did he lose his job with the band, but also $3,000 in future performance fees and three solo shows.

It is so lovely when being a racist wanker has consequences!

But then, there is no cure for absolute stupidity.

(82,849 posts)What have you done in that direction in the last six months, Phillip McCain? Benefit concerts? Served at a homeless shelter? Taken in a family so they don't have to be separated? Fostered children? What?
From the looks of things, you're going to have a lot of time on your hands to do a lot more. Unless you decide that instead of playing with others you're just going to pout and play with yourself.

Call them "The Who?" (But with the question mark, as to distinguish them from the non-racist artists from Shepherd's Bush.)

or that a musician would be that hateful and stupid to throw away that opportunity
