shit therapistHmm..never generally that un-PC a person, but have had a couple of awkward moments on drugs.
The only one I'll mention here is being under the influence of Kratom during a therapy session where I got carried away and started ranting about how much I dislike Saudi Arabians ending with 'I can't fucking stand them' - only for the therapist to inform me 'well, actually my father is from Saudi', cue intense back tracking and profuse apologies whilst I emphasised I meant the fundamentalists, not the entire population (I meant the entire population lolol).
Well the ruling Saud royal family are fffing terrible.Hmm..never generally that un-PC a person, but have had a couple of awkward moments on drugs.

quite the post but you're disingenuous re lennon and the specialsI wonder why punk gets a free pass when a few of them wore swastikas. The defence i suppose is that it was just a form of rebellion. And paul weller saying he was voting thatcher 1979. And the specials too much too young saying a kid is "just another burden on the welfare state". And elvis costello calling ray charles "a dumb n-.". I flicked thru costellos book and i think he uses a combination defence of "i was drunk and on a long tour" - I thought "fuck off - you were being a cunt on purpose to piss off some american journalists who hurt your feelings by implying you were shit compared to ray charles - you knew exactly what you were saying". But i suppose that would be too honest a thing to say 40 years later in an era when theres no possible "defence" of saying it.
Even lennon - george melly said to him "you must accept black music is better than white rock music and stole from it". Lennon said "i accept nothing of the fucking sort. Not only is our music better, its more original too"
The only one who still takes shit from those days for some reason is clapton and his enoch powell "speech". They asked him to apologise for it at some gig - maybe the nelson mandela gig - and he said "am i fuck gonna apologise for it". Which i agreed with - what does "apologising" for something you said when you were drunk 50 years ago actually mean?
I think they finally got round to cancelling fawlty towers for the bit with the black doctor. They havnt shown spike milligans Q series for 40 years because of some of the blackface he does.
Anyone old enough to remember trendy student t-shirt shops in the late 80s? They sold one with a pic of hitler saying "european tour 1939-45". Never actually saw anyone wearing one tho. They even sold the sid vicious swastika t shirt

Lennon said they didn't "rip off" black music but there was definitely a "love in" with it. HGe's on record many many times as saying he was enthralled with black music as a teen and it was all he listened too, shrug
EDIT one thing he said “We didn’t sing our own songs in the early days – they weren’t good enough,” Lennon remarked, “the one thing we always did was to make it known that there were black originals, we loved the music and wanted to spread it in any way we could.”
Specials were referring to girls getting preggers on purpose in order to live off the state for 20 years
Lol. You and plenty more may well not have done, of courseNobody gets pregnant to live off the state. I became a mam by accident and then it turned out my daughter's dad wasb a criminal. I'm sick of people saying I did it just to stay on benefits.

Then why stay on benefits? I personally know people with addictions and children, they still graft harder than I've ever done so.
Agreed, he certainly did. However, we tend to grow and change, as he did too. What you say age 20 is gonna be different from age 30, hopefully..Thats what i mean tho - lennon said lots of contrary things - his books make wide use of unpleasant racist slang and he impersonates spastics every time anyone points a camera at him - so does that mean we can categorise him as a racist\spastic hater?
Arnt pregnant teenage moms the original tory "conjour up a demon" hate figure tho? Set the poor against each other?
Obviously yes. That's not what the statement I was taking umbrage with though, so it's bye the bye innit, and of course what said is true as you must be aware of being a not-so-young inhabitant of 'Great' BritainRegardless of whether its true or not tho its still a tory move to kick the weakest when they are down. In the list of enemies to society i think pregnant teens come pretty low on the list.
Mate, I invite you to regain the plotThe specials - the daily heils house band![]()
perhaps, seemingly opposing extremes can definitely esixt within the same psyche at the same time I don't doubt that at all.... although he grew out of it...and was most definitely not violent/nasty ass for the last 15 years or so of his lifeBut hold on there old fiend!what im suggesting is lennon was a violent, nasty wifebeater (theres even a photo of him drinking a can of wife-beater...) AT THE SAME TIME as also being the complete opposite as well - you feel me?
i dont think its a linear progression from arsehole to good guy..i think the arsehole exists WITH the good guy..YES!.i have been eating too much decarbed and 4aco. Im just going for my afternoon constitutional now - last week i was so high i got lost on the way back...
