When we decided to do random appreciation posts–which will be known on Neon Limelight as our “Bow Down To” feature–we had no idea what to start with. Should we talk about a song we’ve been listening to over and over? Should we stan openly for a certain pop goddess (as if we don’t enough already!)? What about praising the electro-pop trend that is, thankfully, showing a bit more creativity these days thanks to people like Lady GaGa? All great choices. But yesterday I found the answer while checking out updates on my Twitter page: Folks, bow down to Willie Taylor of Day26.
I’ve always appreciated Willie for his ability to be the pillar of strength in Day26. When random acts of bitchassness occurred, he was always the one to bring his bandmates back together. And did I mention the voice? And the BODY? Uh, yes…all appreciated. But it wasn’t until he got Twitter that I got to see another side of him. His e-thug side, if you will, and every girl likes a bad boy.
A “fan” thought it would be cute to make a deragotory pun out of the band’s name while asking Willie a silly question: “GAY 26 WHATS GOOD ARE YOU CRYING TODAY ?” Willie took it to the commentor: “N*GGA I’LL BEAT YO ASS, YOU GOT A PROBLEM DONT FOLLOW ME, DONT EVER COME TO MY PAGE AND DISRESPECT ME!!! SAY IT IN MY FACE!! IM BACK!” Realizing he should be above the insults, he came back with, “SORRY YA’LL ,LOL I SHOULDNT HAVE LET THAT DIRTY ASS DUDE GET TO ME,,, LOL IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN !! LETS BE POSITIVE!!!” Gotta love a man who can admit his mistakes. Swoonarific!
If you don’t have a problem, go ahead and follow Willie for more great tweets at www.twitter.com/willie_day26 and enjoy Day26′s latest video for their new single “Imma Put It On Her” from their new album Forever In A Day, in stores now:
lol..funny stuff..to bad his face not better looking..oh no, he might get me.
It’s nice to see men get in touch with their emotional side. It’s not GAY, just GROWN UP!!! That’s one of the reasons DAY26/MTB4 keep me coming back for more and more! Day26 was a group of strange men who came together to become brothers who work together, play together, cry together and pray together. And (clearly) if you come at them wrong (with pure B*tch*ssness), they’ll beat you down together!!! Much Success to DAY26!!!
