Chris Shinn Instagram Post (Live + CCCP shirt), November 8, 2019 Options

Cleaning out my closet. Seeing this. I can't help but recall how proud it made me. How proud, I still am. Regardless of not hearing from a single member since or that we all created was so carelessly disregarded. Buried. I remain proud of what I did for that family. But it's a strange feeling - folding that shirt and putting it in the "never gonna wear again" pile.

LIVE was a huge part of my childhood and the only meaningful and healthy escape I had. I linger because it’s familiar, not because I like it. I have completely disavowed LIVE and would never admit to liking them in my actual life, because of what an utter laughable joke they’ve been for such a long time.

If you completely disavowed Līve, you wouldn’t be here. Sorry, you bash them so badly it’s to the point of troll-like, and then the next thread, you’ll confuse me by saying something human-like. Sorry, I’m just trying to wrap my head around it. I went to the summer concert with two serious-business Bush fans. They “like” Līve for the TC album only—total casuals when it comes to Līve. It was SO embarrassing when Bush hit the stage, and totally showed Līve up. I also recently had a stranger walk up to me in the store, and pointing out my Līve shirt, he asked me when was the last time they’d put out any good music. It was embarrassing to say, “20 years ago,” but I’d never, ever disavow them. I let my Freak flag fly, and always will. They could open up for a Nirvana cover band in a bar, (as someone else once told me they should), and I still fly it loud and proud. I feel a little sorry for you.

I’m on the autism spectrum, so it’s difficult to let go of intensely held interests. I also have millions of other things going for me and this is my one “waste of time” guilty pleasure.

I understand. Truce.
