Josh Homme Aint No Homophobe
Following his verbal lashing of a shoe-throwing festivalgoer a fortnight ago (in which the word “faggot” got a good airing), Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has denied he’s a homophobe.
The incident, which was captured on film, saw an under-the-weather Homme giving the delinquent a piece of his mind in typically “un-PC” fashion.
“Do me one favour,” Homme had barked prior to the incident. “Don’t throw any shit at me. If you throw something at me I’m not so sick that I can’t go down there and beat the fucking shit out of you. I may have a fucking 102 temperature and I’ve been puking for two days, but I’ll still butt-fuck you in front of your friends.”
His stern advice went unnoticed, with the foolhardy delinquent taking it as a cue to peg something. “Hey, you with the fucking hat on,” ranted Homme. “Hey, pussy. Turn around you fucking pussy with the black hair. Turn the fuck around you chicken shit fucking faggot. Hey, you. You fucking pussy motherfucker. I will fuck you up.” And on it goes… until the singer picks up the offending bottle and fires it at the “chicken shit fucking faggot” in question.

Obviously enough people were put off by his words that Josh Homme felt compelled to issue an ‘open letter’. It’s certainly a fun read…

Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other “acceptable” curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I’ve known gay is not a choice; one’s skin color doesn’t determine one’s intelligence level; & red hair doesn’t mean you’re someone’s stepchild. You see, it’s not the words, it’s their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic… I also told that young whipper snapper I’d have anal sex with him… how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds’ collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That’s your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I’m in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake… You say, “So. Your band name doesn’t prove anything.” Maybe not. But it’s a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog… (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hicks once suggested: – forgive me-. Or don’t. I’m not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you’ll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us… Because you’re so above it all. Or If you’ll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have consensual, sex with yourself. Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.
Sincerely,
