However you feel about Smash Mouth's music, his death is a tragedy of self immolation.
Alcoholism is serious, folks. Do your best to talk to your drinking friends about it sooner than later.
Also, don't judge alcoholics, they often have very real pain they are drowning in. From what I understand Harwell lost a child to leukemia many years ago and has been in a downward spiral with alcohol since.
I don't judge him for his alcoholism, I judge him for being responsible for over 200 cases of covid.
...and also for seemingly throwing up nazi salutes at a show.
That Sturgis motorcycle event is infamous for being a super-spreading event of COVID. However that Nazi salute thing was completely new to me, didn't know about that. Belongs somewhat to the same category with Phil Anselmo's similarly infamous Nazi salute at Dimebash 2016, even though Harwell didn't shout "White power".
Pantera are Nazis?
One of them (Phil) wants to be, the other two were being edgy.
Then dimebag died and only the loud racist one says anything now. Sucks.
