Steve Albini Drags Joe Rogan & Media Company Barstool Sports, Calls Them Trash Garbage
Written by A on 5 Μαρτίου 2021
Steve Albini isn’t one to shy away from sharing his opinions and now, in a chat with Oxbow frontman Eugene Robinson, he’s dragged podcast host, Joe Rogan.
The premise of the interview was that Robinson would ask Albini five non-music related questions for his newsletter feature 5 Easy Pieces w/Steve Albini.

admiral_status = readAdmiralCookie();
}
if (typeof getAdmiral === “function”){
admiral_status = getAdmiral(“admiral_status”);
}
if ((‘undefined’ === typeof ezoicTestActive || true !== ezoicTestActive) &&
(‘undefined’ === typeof admiral_status || true !== admiral_status)) {
PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1614902728’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1614902728’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1614902728’);
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1614902728’]]);
});
}
And Steve Albini, who is no stranger to unleashing on the topics he’s passionate about, has done just that.
“Anybody who uses a position of power, status or authority to exploit people who are vulnerable to that power, status or authority is dead to me,” he says on who’s on his keep/toss list.
“I’ve never had a problem with transgressive art, but it sure seems like you can tell when it’s just a veneer used to justify being a fucking creep,” he continues.
“Always hated Vice, still hate it. Just a parade of gawkers revelling in whatever misery they can observe from an ironic distance. Fuck that shit completely.”

});
}
Which leads him to his point about Joe Rogan. Steve Albini says, “Rogan, Barstool, all the anti-woke comics, just fuck them all in the eye.”
“It’s trash garbage and I want it all to fail.
“What if all the stupid shit your racist neighbor you can’t stand said was typed up and put on a blog?
“Nope, still trash, still fuck it. I want them all out looking for work. Into the chipper with all of it.”
