'Ribcage' - Grool 21/03/2026 part II

Grool: 26.11.2025

Hindutvas and Zionazis are by far the most awful people I've ever come across. It's no surprise they support each other.

Netanyahu and Modi are fascists and their friendship is based on the way they oppress the native populations in the regions.

I think of a contemporaneous interview (possibly St Regis) where John is complaining that "people" think he was just a guy who got lucky ("won the pools") by meeting Paul. Which is most likely something he did believe deep down, with all his insecurity. And Paul comes along and says "Yep, you're right, it was all me, you just got lucky!" Just like John backtracked HYDS I think Paul backtracked TMP ("maybe one teeny line about John and Yoko" lol) because he also knew that his blast of anger was cruel and not true. But it was so unlike him to get that vicious publicly, it really shows how provoked he felt (Not saying he was justified or that he had no part in the bad feeling).

The other thing about TMP and much of RAM is how obviously a break-up album it is, and how critics just blithely ignored that, just to dump on it. I've a really strong feeling that people in the industry knew full well what the score was and had done for a while, but had long experience in intentionally not drawing attention to it while it was an ongoing affair. And then when it ended, they trashed some albums and praised others as part of 'taking sides in the divorce' while carefully avoiding mentioning the BLATANTLY OBVIOUS fact that it was a literal divorce.
