I love these tweets by Patrick:

-“Tmz threw a camera in my face. Justin bieber said he wanted to slap me. His fans called me a fag for days. I mocked it. Didn’t ask for it.”

-“I worked hard and did what I love and after all this my reward is tmz. a million 12 yr olds call me a fag for speaking my mind. Perfect. Sow”

Patrick is so right that he didn’t start this drama at all. You know what’s also funny, is that celebrities are always getting in trouble for using gay slurs like “fag” and stuff, but look at all those tweets by those Beliebers he’s been retweeting. How come you don’t see the media busting on the Beliebers, and how come you don’t see GLAAD calling them out for using gay slurs? It seems everyone is siding with Justin and people think Patrick is the badguy here.

Oh please! *rolls eyes*

If Patrick wants to believe that Justin doesn’t deserve a Grammy or doesn’t deserve to be there, that’s his opinion and he has that right. People attack Patrick for this ’cause that’s how the media works. That’s how today’s industry is, with the internet and all that. People think he’s a bully just for being honest.

On top of that, Patrick brings up a valid point, that there are other bands & artists, that deserve a lot of Grammy spotlight before Justin Bieber came around. Patrick is not being the egomaniac ’cause he even thinks that other bands deserve Grammy’s more than the Black Keys.

I think Patrick’s goal and what he’s trying to do here, is that he wants a change to the industry. Today’s industry seems to be all about Justin Bieber, the Kardashians, Snooki, etc. getting the spotlight, and Patrick is hating it. He just wants other talented people with real talent who are more deserving. I think that’s the whole point of what Patrick is trying to do here. Patrick is not doing this for attention, he’s fighting for a change in the industry. He has that right to do that if he wants to.

If we have the right to speak our mind about music all we want to, why can’t Patrick, right? Freedom of speech works both ways.
