“The legacy of Van Halen has never had a shortage of drama or die-hard fans…and rocker Mitch Malloy has a unique place within the still-unfolding drama. Following the ousting of Sammy Hagar from the band Malloy was tapped as the lead singer replacement, but subsequently declined this rock royalty position. For years Mitch Malloy’s story was touched on but never fully revealed, mostly by Malloy to avoid conflict with his current musical pursuits. After the publication of “Everybody Wants Some: The Van Halen Saga,” which mentions Malloy, fans and media continually asked about his Van Halen experience. This is Mitch’s story. Mitch Malloy: Van Halen’s Lost Boy.” Van Halen With Mitch Malloy It’s The Right Time: Van Halen: BEST OF THE UNRELEASED 1974-1980 VOL.1: Van Halen “Ripley” Unreleased Song 1984: Van Halen “I Want Some Action” (UNRELEASED song from “5150”): Van Halen – Crossing Over [Japanese Bonus Track] (1995) (Remastered) HQ: |

01) Blaire White’s Hatred, Bigotry, & Pedophobia
“Oh but she’s so moral isn’t she!? Think of the children!”
Note: Between the time I wrote these comments and the time I posted them, Blair invited me to a debate on her channel.
For several reasons, I do not do media in a confrontational setting…I don’t even do much media of my own, anymore.
I want to get back into creating media, but it’s complicated. Whatever bits of media I do put out there, are “spur of the moment” stuff, when I’m feeling up to it. I’ve been in ill physical health, most of my life…This has a tremendous impact on me, and can be far worse some days than others. Some days you wake up, and it’s hard to walk, speak, or even put together a coherent though…Every now and then, there are spurts of roaring back, and I’m back on top of my craft…This has become increasingly rare.
It’s impossible to gage how things will be, from one day to the next…which is the primary reason I don’t put myself out there, for this kind of media…It’s very unlikely to be productive.
I’m not in the business of debating…I’m in the business of sharing information, and building a kind of MAP ethos.
I sometimes get mocked and ridiculed for this…called a coward, etc…But keep in mind…live debates in front of a webcam, were never part of my plan, to begin with…I never sought or offered that…And it in no way discredits what I do.
I have far deeper, more serious reason to safeguard myself and this subject, than most people have to even care, while attacking what I do. I will not engage in anything, which I feel is likely to be unproductive, or poses the chance to cause damage.
However…I generally remain available, for open interaction via text.
This video is fair…
Blair’s original video is bankrupt of substance…It displays a painfully shallow understanding…And it doesn’t really even give any excuse, as to why Blair did the video, or presumably wants MAPs [and intelligent speech about them], and people who talk rationally about childhood sexuality, gone from YouTube…
…It really amounts to…”There they are!…What are we going to do about it?”…
At no point does she contemplate holding a dialogue with MAPs…She even dehumanizes these two people she features, and presumably MAPs in general, by comparing them to roaches.
To no avail…I was trying to make a point to her, and get her to at least acknowledge that she dehumanized other human beings…and that there is a difference between the state of being a MAP, and the state of being a “child molester”.
…It only garnered a smug response from her…
Blair…I implore you to acknowledge the distinctions noted above, and apologize to the MAP community.
You know you’ve crossed a line, here…You cannot possibly not realize this.
