"I've never been prouder to Know Jon S.keep him in your prayers hes a true patriot and Son of liberty." - John Greely
I've been a fan of Iced Earth for 17 years. The music Jon and co. wrote is very special to me. While I'm incredibly disappointed, I'm also not surprised, but then I am surprised because holy shit, Schaffer is front and center at this crazy ass protest breaking the fucking law. I knew he was cookoo for cocoa puffs, but this is beyond insane. I think he's truly brainwashed by all the conspiracy nuts he surrounds himself with. Our government sucks, but this isn't the way. And for some reason, even with all his anti mask, anti vaccine rhetoric, for some reason I had it in my head that he wasn't a Trump supporter.
Maybe I'll take a break from Iced Earth for a while. Jon may be stupid, and crazy, and a criminal, but he hasnt killed anyone nor has he molested any kids, and even if he did, I honestly don't know what I would do, besides probably cry. He's a musical hero of mine. His music changed my life. It sucks that he has gone so far off the deep end with this bullshit that he may have ruined the rest of his life.
