I don't listen to his music, but I lived in Seattle at the time. I never knew about the apology, but I do remember quite a lot of people talking about the costume at work in the days that followed. AFAIK he's not done anything else anti-semitic, and I'm not trying to tear him down. Was just explaining part of why I've felt iffy about him. He can be iffy in my eyes and still be on the right side of history here

    I've been iffy about this guy for a very long time, but I fully support what he's doing here with his support of Palestine and with challenging Kraft.

    For reference on my iffiness on this guy, he's always seemed a bit too calculated with his public facing social consciousness (rapping about white privilege, really?). But he also performed "Thrift Shop" while wearing this costume:

    What brands of chicory do you prefer? I like chicory but haven't been successful in finding a solid brand for it that doesn't also charge a crazy amount.

    Do you toast the barley and/or rye? Toasted barley tea is something of a comfort drink for me, I really love the idea of combining with chicory
