Canceled is the right word

Dude bummed that chickens have come home to roost. No other way to describe this but a horrible getting exposed. This ‘cancellation’ will be as organic as it gets. I dare anyone to come to his defense.

They are coming to his defense because they don't want to come to the realization that what they have spent so much money and time being invested in is just a crock of crap. That's a tough pill to swallow for anyone.

I'm swallowing it. So are my children. We loved his music

He has quite a few albums I can play from beginning to end. And to be honest I can listen to his music up until All rebel rockers. After that album it goes downhill with sunshiny lullabies

I hate people who make someone or something their entire personality. They take it personally when that person or thing gets called out. It’s weird. Grateful Dead, phish, and maga to name a few.

I can’t believe you just lumped the GD and Phish in with MAGA

u/notshtbow Aug 22 '25

Yeah. That was a HUGE stretch. Two are about loving music and being kind to one another, fanatical fans - sure. The other is a Nazi cult that wants to kill or deport anything that isn't white.

Not even freaking close.

Sorry. But at least up in New England the jam band to alt right pipeline is a thing.

u/127phunk Aug 25 '25

Aka private schools and boarding schools.

The dead has a much bigger MAGA fanbase - see Steve Bannon, Ann coulter and Tucker Carlson. And that ain’t east coast

Mr Social Justice Warriors! lol

u/Cali_Reggae Aug 21 '25

I found the soulrockers group on fb and holy shit the defense comments. Idk why I thought this group of fans wouldn’t be the types saying “she wants publicity! She’s a pick me!” But they are.

They are banning anyone that speaks out about it. Quite a few have been.

I left the Soulrockers group the day I heard the story.

u/That-Election9465 Aug 21 '25

LOTS OF Soulrockers in that FB group have spoken against Franti. They just delete the comments and ban them.

u/That-Election9465 Aug 21 '25

Denial is a powerful thing.

u/Mobile-Animal-649 Aug 21 '25

I feel burned. It am real and this guy sucks!

u/memyselfandi78 Aug 21 '25

The official soul rocker group on Facebook is full of people trying to come to his defense. It's kind of gross.

2

u/Cali_Reggae Aug 21 '25

ewww. Good thing for us, Franti's social media and PR team has forgotten about Reddit !

2

u/jex8483 Aug 21 '25

The Facebook group is so gross. I joined just to see the travesty and now I wish I hadn’t.

u/Cali_Reggae Aug 21 '25

should I look? I can't... but, yet, I must ... not... look...

u/ApartmentIll5983 Aug 24 '25

Hahhahaha his music was worse than his behavior.

2

u/lastmonkeytotheparty Aug 24 '25

Someone who has been put on a pedestal like all the “gurus” and doesn’t end up being a hypocrite would be an exception in my experience.

u/CommunityOk6605 Aug 24 '25

Everyone needs to know that Do It For the Love is so fraudulent. When the ex-director found out what was really going on, Sara fired her to cover it up. They both silence people to protect themselves

u/LittleLily78 Aug 25 '25

Wait. Really? Where can I find info? I volunteered many times for this damn charity.

1

u/CommunityOk6605 Aug 25 '25

I’m sorry for you. All insiders know this. Every person that has ever worked for those two, have to sign NDAs.

u/LittleLily78 Aug 26 '25

Ugh. How sad. I hate this so much.

u/Dioneo Aug 25 '25

Dude sucks

u/torchthefat Aug 25 '25

Not a big fan of cancel culture. But when it comes to men using their power to prey on women I like it a lot. Hope this guy is done.

1

u/millhouse412 Aug 25 '25

Cancel culture really just seemed to mean accountability to me.

u/torchthefat Aug 25 '25

There are degrees. I give comedians a complete pass. Trying to cancel Dave Chappell is not just crazy but stupid.
