vaguely unhinged yes tidbits that are less cursed:
- jon, chris, tony and bill shared a rented home in the very early days of the band. jon forgot an entire ass meal in his room after he moved out and the following inhabitants found it under the bed
- big generator was *partially* recorded while the whole band was staying in a castle in italy. supposedly there were a lot of really wild parties and jon got kicked out and told to take a three month vacation because everyone got tired of him being an ass about their parties
- jon and trabin wrote talk in a motel they were staying in together. jon then LIVED in trabin's HOUSE when they were recording the album
Netanyahu has reiterated that Israel will not accept a ceasefire deal that involves an end to Gaza's illegal occupation by the IDF. It's tempting to reduce this to Netanyahu's personal malevolence, but his intransigence is a crystal-clear reflection of the Israeli state and of the logic that has propelled it since 1948. Israel wants land, settlements, colonies. It will pursue expansion at the end of the sword, and will consume tens of thousands of Palestinian, Lebanese, and Arab lives to do it. The only thing that will stop this war machine is concerted resistance, both in the Middle East and in the West. Anything that will frustrate and hinder the operation of the Israeli military and state is a necessity.
I think I listen to too much classic rock because people were talking about the Dave Grohl controversy like it is the most serious career ending evil thing ever and then I found out he had an affair baby and was like “Oh. That’s all?” like don’t get me wrong, cheating on your wife is disgusting but I was braced to read a truly depraved and unique news story.
