Peter Tork by Henry Diltz

why is tumblr filled with oldies and twitter filled with trumpies

thank you this person is kind of weird

debunking the stuff demonprince26 is saying about peter tork since majority of it is misinformation.

Number one: “Peter Tork beat his wife over some dishes”

In July of 1968 Peter answered some questions for Tiger Beat Magazine, where he says he once hit his wife after she threatened to leave him. NOT “over some dishes”. And he didn’t “beat” her either, if you search up the meaning of the word “beat” it states “to strike (a person or an animal) repeatedly and violently” peter did not strike her repeatedly, therefore he did not “beat” her.

It might seem like something small but to accuse someone of being a wife beater (especially over some dishes) when in reality they only hit their wife once and after that they split, is an extremely over exaggerative and bold accusation.

(I’m not defending his behaviour, it’s already horrible enough so I don’t understand why they are trying to over exaggerate it and make it sound worse.)

Number two: “Peter was fired from the bands reunion tour for being a violent alcoholic”

Now the “violent alcoholic” part wasn’t included in demonprince26’s post, but when asked where they got the whole “peter was fired from a tour” thing, they responded with this.

And all I have to say to that is that there’s literally no evidence of this ever happening.

It’s never mentioned ANYWHERE he had consumed any alcohol, or that he was “causing problems” during a tour. He was fired from a 2001 tour cause he was out of tune. The tour that their talking about “happened” in the 80’s/90’s, however there is no record of peter being fired from a tour except for the 2001 tour. leading me to think they were either lied to, or they’re just making stuff up.

All in all, demonprince26 shouldn’t accuse such rash things onto a person who isn’t here to even defend themselves, especially saying things that aren’t true or are extremely over exaggerated. Peter was not some 24/7 sunshine boy, but neither was he terrible enough for them to spread rumours about him and cause unnecessary online discourse. They didn’t know Peter OR Mike personally, so they should quit acting like they were there to witness every aspect of their personalities and lashing out on people who just wanna have fun.

I don’t mean this in a way of just wanting to attack somebody, or just causing a fuss, I mean all of this is the nicest way possible
