i don't want anything to do with tally hall in general recently, mostly because of joe, but i would feel fucking horrible taking their music off my playlists

for me it's because they got me through a lot of the hardest times in my life. it's been really hard letting go of something that quite literally saved my life as a preteen

sometimes there is no separating the art from the artist and it sucks. in any case, you're not weird or fucked up for feeling this way

Yet I think the community has been way too harsh. Everyone that I have seen has been saying something along the lines of “I hope Joe is going to hell”. Which… (if this religion was real) he probably would be, but do we really have to be so rabid about it? Again, we all know he has done horrendous things, Nothing will fix what he has done, but just give him at least two breaths of air. I think he really, REALLY should get some help. People are telling me that he is way too far gone but it’s kind of hard to believe that for me. Maybe, just maybe if he noticed these awful things he has done, he would. Maybe, just maybe he would become better. Joe now and Joe with Tally Hall are not the same person to me.

I have very low expectations about Joe getting better. I have very low expectations about Tally Hall getting back together. If they were, Joe still probably wouldn’t be better and therefore, not be included. I have seen people say “Just replace him with Bora or Casey” but you really can not replace Joe. He was a big part of Tally Hall. You can add a new member, but not replace one. You can not replace anyone in the band, for that matter.

Fool me once, Shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

do not interact with him, I hope we all understand this.

Once again, I do not support this man, or his actions. I only hope for him to get therapy and to get better.
