This never happens to me, thankfully

Sorta related, but I was trying to remember a song the other day where a guy is proposing to a woman. I eventually realized it was "On My Way" (2012) by Passion Pit. So I decided to go to wikipedia to see if it was based on real events, and it was. But then the story goes wonky.

Michael Angelakos wrote the song to propose to his then girlfriend Kristy Mucci. But while engaged to Mucci, he started also dating Madeleine Dubus. He became a drunk and drug addict and was abusive towards Mucci and Dubus. He still married Mucci in 2013, but they announced they were divorcing in 2015. Later that year, Angelakos announced he was gay. In 2018, he came out as bisexual.

In 2025, he said he took too many shrooms and wrote a long email to Dubus that prompted a wellness check on him. Months later, he married Dubus and she became his manager. That same year, he wrote a series of essays, much of which were about his inability to clean up after himself at home and the problems that causes. He also described "snorting a billion grams of ketamine."

Anyway, it kinda takes the song down a notch for me.

Something something separate art from the artist something something

1990 heavy metal scene flasbacks

currently on a big years long philosophy kick and yeah. just started reading some Heidegger. Fucker was an unapologetic nazi. Son of a bitch.

And sometimes it's an old band with their own, unique music style, history of neither bigotry nor pedophilia, and a modern fanbase entirely made up of 14 year olds commenting "this is what real music used to sound like, before people became gay."

And that's why I haven't bothered listening to much music since around 2010

Lost prophets 😢

Yeah thats always a shame

I guess its not a coincidence that my favorite artist lives a very private life.
