“Was ‘Dear Friend’ about John Lennon, and 'Let Me Roll It’ a deliberate Lennon pastiche? 'Dear Friend’ was written about John, yes. I don’t like grief and arguments, they always bug me. Life is too precious, although we often find ourselves guilty of doing it. So after John had slagged me off in public I had to think of a response, and it was either going to be to slag him off in public - and some instinct stopped me, which I’m really glad about - or do something else. So I worked on my attitude and wrote 'Dear Friend’, saying, in effect, let’s lay the guns down, let’s hang up our boxing gloves. 'Let Me Roll It’ was not really a Lennon pastiche, although my use of tape echo did sound more like John than me. But tape echo was not John’s exclusive territory! And you have to remember that, despite the myth, there was a lot of commonality between us in the way that we thought and the way that we worked.”

— The Paul McCartney Interview, Club Sandwich, 1994.

Anyway shoutout to flamboyant or effeminate gay men, butch lesbians, scruffy lesbians, loud "obnoxious" queer musical theatre people, """uwu soft bean""" nonbinary people, people who use obscure labels, people who don't use labels at all, and people who use unusual pronouns. You're not cringe, you're not "fake queer", you're not a punchline to be laughed at, and you're not giving the LGBTQ+ community a bad name. Keep being your true authentic selves, we're all lucky you're here.

apollyodon​:

Every time I see someone try to say John’s ‘more feminine features’ came out in the 70s, I want to bloody scream.

I would really like to know what people you see every day that has convinced you that a underfed, heroin riddled skeletal frame is what counts as ‘feminine features’. 

The man was bulimic, lived off of heroin and was depressed as all fuck… but okay, sure, keep telling yourselves that’s ‘his natural feminine features’.

Just kindly never talk to me.

I just realized why this further annoys me, literally just…

When shit like this happens in the modeling industry it’s ‘horrifying’ and ‘needs to stop’.

Happens to a man in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship?

Suddenly it’s ‘attractive’ and ‘his feminine features coming out’. 

John Lennon was not healthy in the 70s. At all. Physically, emotionally or mentally. Gushing and cooing over it, in any way, is disturbing. 

Physical ‘features’ that come out as result of self-starvation, drug and alcohol abuse, depression and deteriorating relationships/being in an abusive relationship are not attractive. They are symptoms and silent cries for help.

CHUB RUB IS A FAT-POSITIVE, FEMME & NON BINARY BAND

CHUB RUB IS A FAT-POSITIVE, FEMME & NON BINARY BAND

Chub Rub is a Philadelphian band who just released their debut EP, Make Some Fucking Space, containing powerful feminist folk ballads such as “50 Ways to Kill Your R*pist” and “Shrink,” which boasts the titular lyric: “If you think I don’t fit in, well/Make some fucking space.” FUCK YES!!! I can’t tell you how excited I am about this group and what they’re doing for fat representation and liberation in music, specifically for the Philly community! 💗

CHUB RUB IS A FAT-POSITIVE, FEMME & NON BINARY BAND

“This is what makes Chub Rub feel so victoriously ground-breaking: that they’re four femme people demanding “fats to the front!” at their shows, performing alongside other explicitly body-positive acts like Thunder Thighs. By encouraging support and community among fat femmes, the four-piece addresses an aspect of accessibility and inclusivity in the DIY scene that is often ignored.”

—Amanda Silberling, for Audiofemme.com

Meet the band members!
