Wew yesterday was a real tough day to be an Eric fan reading through the /v/ and reddit threads. My take after sleeping on it? We just don't know the full context that lead to this "collab" and probably never will and we gotta be at peace with that. At the end of the day you can't just throw away all of Eric's previous credentials and define his character over a single questionable decision.
Thank fucking God the symphony and pax and the indie slice are all soon so we can move on and forget about this mess.
