Jesus, what a shithead.

Must think he's Robocop or something.

That's ruined QOTSA for me anyway!

When you play moronic powerchord music about how many drugs you've taken or gal's you've knocked boots with, then you're goin to get idiots who throw shit coming to your shows.


And who uses 'faggot' as an insult after the age of 15?

Homme's response:

"Member of the Peanut Gallery:

Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; & red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic… I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him… how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake… You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog… (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hick's once suggested: — forgive me–. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us… Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have, consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.

Sincerely,
Mr. Missundastood
A.K.A. Joshua, Baby Duck, Jho Head Choreographer & Do Stuff Corporation's pansexual spokesthing"

Never mind being a homophobe Mr Homme. What bothers me and I'm sure many others, is something you forgot to mention in your overwrought and unfunny explanation. That kid who you (and a few security guards)got in such a mental flap over was about 15. You are about 40. You sad bastard.

i'd like to see how polite you'd all be if you were in work, dying with the flu, and some random 15 year old fucked a shoe at you for no reason. give the guy a break.

its easy to sit at home tutting and wagging your finger at josh homme, but i'd like to see how polite you'd all be if you were in work, dying with the flu, and some random 15 year old fucked a shoe at you for no reason. who cares what age he was? the little prick got off lightly.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about the "homophobia". Red herring, my aggressive little friend.

The objection here is the stupid, naked aggression.

He shouldn't piss on Bill Hicks memory by citing him as some sort of limp-wristed attempt at self-justifying humour.

Cunt!
