Steve Albini has called on Joe Rogan to follow the example of Insane Clown Posse, as Rogan continues to face a backlash over the content of his Spotify podcast.Rogan recently apologised after it emerged that he had used the N-word multiple times on his show, calling it “the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve had to talk about publicly” before arguing that the clips had been “taken out of context of 12 years of conversations on my podcast”.He was already under fire after Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and more removed their music from Spotify in response to vaccine misinformation promoted by guests on his show, which has been exclusive to the streaming platform since a $100million deal was struck in 2020.On Monday (February 7), Albini shared an interview with Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J from 2020 in which the musician acknowledged problematic lyrics in the band’s music.Discussing ICP’s 2000 collaboration with Three 6 Mafia, which contains the line “sick like a diseased Ethiopian,” Violent J told Stereogum: “I was that stupid. I didn’t understand the offensiveness in that.

Hooters to open in Liverpool city centre has had a petition launched against it, calling the plans and bar "archaic and chauvinistic".The online petition was launched by angry residents and local government officials who opposed plans for the beer and bar food brand to open up shop on the high street, Liverpool Echo reports.Among the angry responses were the Mayor of Liverpool and Merseyside's Police and Crime Commissioner, with the petition set up by Labour councillor Maria Toolan.It calls on Liverpool Council to deny the licensing application Hooters are seeking out, with a link to the petition shared ahead of a licensing hearing scheduled for February 15.The petition claims that if the bar is given the go-ahead, it will attract a "narrow unwanted demographic" and a rise in anti-social behaviour. The chain is well-known in the US for its beer and bar food, often served by scantily-clad waitresses.Councillor Toolan initially objected to Hooters' proposals in a letter to city centre residents alongside colleague Cllr Nick Small.An online form has also been set up by Toolan for residents to add their names to a list of those opposed to the prospective Hooters plans.The petition says: "Hooters is an archaic and chauvinistic brand and this type of venue is no longer reflective of today's society."Hooters employs women to promote its business activities in an exploitative manner, it demeans and degrades women and undermines female equality."We believe it will attract interest from a narrow unwanted demographic and will cause increased anti-social behaviour."We have the support of our Mayor, Police Commissioner, MPs, and local residents and we hope we can rely on yours.
