I think this, and the other 3 threads should be taken down before they get out of hand.

 

What does 73 make of this??

 

This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

 

Well its big and white with red stripes and it looks like a giant Tylenol.

There have been a lot of accusations about Neil supporting white supremacists and Arian organisations because of his readings of Ayn Rand.

 

This is bullshit!!!!!

 

Can we please put this disgraceful slur to bed please?

 

Firstly Neil is a humanitarian who believes in freewill and equality for all of our human race.

 

Secondly, Gary's family are Polish Jews who fled the oppression of the Nazi's before WW2

 

So can we please put this to bed ??

Racist or not, I loved your work with Journey.

Hey! I already mentioned Journey!

These thread are clearly stupid and have no point tbh.

 

Actually, being stupid and having no point is why there has been so many spin offs of this thread. People just mocking the OP here. Don't take it seriously, nobody else is.

Who ever started these accusations are stupid.

 

I agree with the OP, I think people should stop saying these things, because they are not true at all.

 

Is that Matthew Caws in your pic next to Neil?

 

No, it is Beck Hansen.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

They weren't accused of being racist. They accused of being fascists by the NME.

He represented us as fascist fanatics...and if that were the case we would have the world's first Jewish Nazi Bass Player (laugh). It's ludicrous. We're not fascists. We're not racists. I was very upset when I read that article. In America when you call someone a fascist it's the worst, y'know? It's the pits. But over here, I now realise, that in certain quarters anyone who isn't a socialist is, by definition, a fascist.

I agree. I've always though that being called a fascist was "the pits". Much worse than "a bummer", but not quite "a drag", ya know?

I can't recall the last time I heard something referred to as "the pits".

 

Bummer and drag i'm pretty sure are still in use.

To be fair it is fun to facepalm at his more culturally outdated views on people and the traits he chooses to put at the forefront in his writing, things which aren't explicitly racist but still silly and in some ways offensive.

 

Remember bubbagram #4? :smoke:

Neil operates in the unpopulated hypothetical an awful lot.

Remember, he was spouting off about that stuff in that article at age, what? 25ish? Young and dumb, and even he has said so about that Rand acknowledgement. And yeah, this was all happily resting in past documentaries until Mr. Brand X Guy had to dredge it up. And he pulled an Emily Latella in the process. "It's SPECIES, not FECES, Emily..." "Oh. Never mind."
