Anti-social media mob hits sacred music composer

I just heard about a fellow named Daniel Elder. He’s a composer based in Nashville, TN who caught some heat for an Instagram post.

“Caught some heat” doesn’t really do it justice. He was blackballed from his profession – because he essentially said that setting fire to the local courthouse maybe isn’t the best way to promote social justice.

You can read about it in detail here. It’s pretty sordid what was said to him, and how his publisher threw him under the bus when he refused to conform to the impulsive notions of The Mob, which change on a whim depending on which social justice cause happens to be fashionable in any given week.

I reached out to Daniel in hopes of perhaps interviewing him for the podcast. He’s shying away from spoken interviews, for good reason, but he’s open to a written interview. I’ll hope to share that with you soon.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a social media experience where you’re free to be yourself and share what’s on your mind without being blackballed by Polite Society, I’ve got something you might be interested in. It’s called Social Lair, and you’re cordially invited to join my own Lair.

It’s humble in these early days, but sure to grow as people realize how anti-social these so-called social media platforms really are.

If you’re interested, just shoot me an email, and I’ll send an invite.
