There may be nothing new to you in this thread. There may be. I just cannot get past my utter hatred of this jackhole. I take small pleasure in seeing others react to his overall shittiness, like in the link, which is from the show his band played the night of the draft.
Someone asked in another NBA/Knicks-related thread if it's all right to wish death on someone. I was raised Catholic, so, I think it is. But I don't know if it would be as bad to be happy if there was a terrible accident.
A few snippets from the writer who actually went to James Dolan's band's show that night:
| The show up to this point — the empty chairs in the audience, the flat singing, the repetitive, grating chords — reminded me of the Men in Tights re-enactments my cousins and I put on when we were little. Our parents had no choice but to sit through them because they didn’t want to crush our dreams, and also because we were cute. |
| Dolan is a 62-year-old man with more money than God (about $1.5 billion) and an NBA franchise in somewhat of a free fall. He’s not cute, nor is his band good. He’s not a little kid performing for his mom and dad (although his 90-year-old parents were in the audience, and he dedicated a song to them; the lyrics involved “running out of gas in the tank.”) |
| The thought that kept running through my head as I watched Dolan was: Has anyone ever told this guy no? At one point, Dolan put on a top hat, a pair of aviator sunglasses, and draped a scarf over his blazer. His self-described “carnival master” outfit made him look like the legendary Muppet bandleader, Dr. Teeth. To be fair, the lyrics he was singing did include: “Everybody’s got a freak inside.” |
| If no one tells Dolan he can’t play NYC venues the night of the draft, they certainly don’t tell him he can’t open for big names: JD and the Straight Shot performs on tour with acts like Don Henley, The Eagles, and the Allman Brothers because of Dolan’s connections to the music industry. During the concert, he kept talking about how his band’s music makes it into films. Madison Square Garden Company is a corporate partner of The Weinstein Company. |
I hate James Dolan.
You're a terrible singer! I want my $25 back! - (

That's hilarious. If only that could really happen.
Amazing! Good memory.
