Sturgill Simpson Claims DC Think Tank Withdrew Award Due to “Optics”
Sturgill Simpson, known for his outspoken nature, states a Washington D.C. think tank rescinded an award offer. This decision reportedly stemmed from concerns over “optics” after the release of his album Mutiny After Midnight.
Sturgill Simpson is among the most outspoken and perhaps even cantankerous artists on the current music landscape. That hasn't stopped people from wanting to go see him. After releasing the Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds album Mutiny After Midnight , which is only available in physical editions for now , Simpson and his band are about to go tour arenas . But Simpson's "optics" have seemingly cost him a few bucks, and he'd like to tell you about the DC think tank that offered him ten grand and then changed its mind.
