What people are saying
Frank – let me apologize. That was my idiotic son who decided to make a stand last night [Oct. 9] in Denver about the womens [sic] mosh pit
If you are a man who gets offended by a band making room for a female only mosh pit then you are PART OF THE PROBLEM.
The space is for people who don't usually feel safe… To dance and have fun without the worry of physical, sexual or psychological violence being used against them …
