‘It destroyed me’: two more men allege Christian rock celestial body Michael Tait of sexual assault
Two more men have appear forward to denounce Christian rock superstar and Maga firebrand Michael Tait of drugging and sexually assaulting them – including Jason Jones, the founding manager of the American hard-rock band Evanescence.
Jones said he was fired from the band – which had ties to Tait – for speaking out about his alleged assault. Jones said the firing, which he claimed happened in 1999, cut him out of Evanescence’s massive success commencing in 2003.
“It destroyed me,” said Jones. “I was achieving my dreams at an early age, and Tait changed all that.”
Evanescence co-founder Ben Moody denied Jones was fired from the band for speaking out against Tait.
Moody said he does recall Jones telling him about a sexual encounter with Tait, but at the time Moody interpreted it as consensual.
“I was a kid, only 18, and clearly didn’t discover what he was going through,” Moody said. “I’m sure I missed a lot of things I’d recognize today. I didn’t discover he was traumatized.”
In all, eight alleged victims have now come forward publicly with sexual assault allegations against Tait. A previous in
The Problem With Overcompensating
Watching all eight episodes of Overcompensating—the new Amazon Prime Video comedy drama created by and starring social media star Benito Skinner—several questions crossed my mind. For instance: When exactly is this supposed to be set? We’re told right away that Skinner’s ethics Benny, a closeted same-sex attracted college freshman, had his sexual awakening watching a loincloth-clad Brendan Fraser swing through the trees in George of the Jungle (1997), and that he’s around 9 in the year 2000 when Britney Spears’ “Lucky” was still in the countdown. By my math, that should mean Benny is heading off to college around 2010. Yet at one point in the display, Charli XCX—who is, along with Jonah Hill, among the series’ executive producers—shows up to inexplicably complete at this fictional college, singing songs that she released in 2012, 2014, and 2017. That would make Overcompensating … not a show that takes place today? But also not a specifically millennial period piece? It’s all very puzzling.
The bigger and more profound question, though, is not about Overcompensating’s time period, but about its core: Who, exactly, is this for? The show follows Benny,

Sing to Me
It is strange to reflect of karaoke as an invention. The practice predates its facilitating devices, and the concept transcends its practice: Karaoke is the hobby of being a star; it is an adjuvant for the truest you an audience could handle.
Karaoke does possess a parent. In the late 1960s, Daisuke Inoue was working as a club keyboardist, accompanying drinkers who wanted to belt out a song. “Out of the 108 club musicians in Kobe, I was the worst,” he told Time. One client, the chief of a steel company, asked Inoue to join him at a steaming springs resort where he’d hoped to entertain business associates. Inoue declined, but instead recorded a backing tape tailored to the client’s erratic singing design. It was a success. Intuiting a demand, Inoue built a jukebox-like device fitted with a car stereo and a microphone, and leased an initial batch to bars across the metropolis in 1971. “I’m not an inventor,” he said in an interview. “I simply put things that already subsist together, which is completely different.” He never patented the device (in 1983, a Filipino inventor named Roberto del Rosario acquired the patent for his own sing-along system) though years later he patented a solut
