That’s effed up. You told me you were just testing the camera and you would never post that picture publicly. That is hideous. But fuck it, I WAS BORN THIS WAY!

I LOOOOOOOOOVE the album art! And the show was great! But Rachel, PLEASE let Madge finish her thought once in a while! Sheesh!

Rachel, you are amazing. You make some really great points defending Lady Gaga/Caca. And it’s nice that you address that there are more important issues to debate. I think this is the first grum featuring you where you are NOT brutalized in an Accused kind of way.
Madge, you need to stop bitching about how Anderson Cooper is not a public gay figure. If you look a little into his background and his family’s past, you could see why he has a right to a private life.
Great grum!

I think this is the best Rachel-Yeast show yet.

About Gaga being another straight female “gay icon” – I think Rachel was spot-on about it being more important for teenagers. Whether or not her support for gay rights is genuine or not doesn’t really matter to the kids. If anything at least it’s better than people like Madonna or the others who pander to gays and never give any support to the community.

Though as an adult I don’t give a shit. Just be entertaining.

I found the discussion about your “new holocaust” paranoia fascinating. I’m just curious as to when did the habits and thoughts start?

If you do another show together soon I would like to hear more about what you guys have to say about the politics surrounding Israel.

Seriously this is a great episode! 🙂

I don’t think Madonna deserves too much credit for all the Metropolis-action in the Express Yourself-video, both Express Yourself and Vogue are David Fincher’s brainchildren, I think he deserves most of the credit for those. I don’t think Madonna sits (or used to sit) around her appartment on a Friday night watching 1920s German silent movies, however brilliant they were.

Dear M & R,

The problem with this episode is that you could write volumes about the different tangents discussed.

But what I take away from this program is that Rachel stood up for herself and held her own! You Go Grrl!

I like your point about Lady Gaga just taking the piss in a way. Like Borat. Still, it’s just so tiring and feels so forced, even if it may help distressed kids.

However, gotta hate on you a bit…
A democracy can be locked into disgusting, totalitarian Apartheid policies and still be considered a democracy. Just because you can walk around Tel Aviv without a burqa and live better than in oppressed countries doesn’t mean Israel is the Ms. Goody Two-Shoes of the Middle East.

Also, Madge, your points about Target Markets and a straight girl promoting gay rights were very smart. But, you can’t fight stuff like that… Disregard and focus on your own things – live longer.

Your “Experience new things – Slow down time” philosophy is beautiful!

Did you mean George Friedman – America’s Secret War?
The idea was:
1. Hit America to make it retaliate against the Muslims
2. America attack the Muslims
3. The Muslims will hate America and raise up to defeat it
4. A restoration of the Caliphate (Muslim political unity)

The End.

P.S. OMG, my mother-in-law does the same thing with the random death-gasping. You think she’s been shot with a crossbow or something…

Blimey, this was *by far* the BEST episode in a *really* long time! It actually reminded me why I started listening to Yeast Radio in the first place.

Luis,

I’m hard of hearing. Mmmmmkay?

You feel so bad now.

I forgive you.

Now we’re friends!

I love happy endings.

Thanks, you sweet thing.

The thing about the Anderson Cooper thing: There is no reason why he – or – anyone else should not have the right to a private life. I agree with you.

It’s that our culture continues to perpetuate a tacit agreement that being gay is something to hide.

I’m of the view that Lady GaGa does more harm than good, albeit she is one of many, having little and nothing personal to say, taking much more than her machine gives… But this has all been said before, and she is not unlike any number of products touting benefits there mostly in illusion. Perhaps at some stage the devaluation of popular artists will become so great there will be some expectation and place for something new. Maybe it’ll take for the money to run out before the music improves.

And yes, Rachel runs differently on focus :p

This was a good grum with Rapechel.

I don’t mind the Ladies Gaga but she ain’t all that. I think you two should move to Israel and make grums all the time. That’d be good for the listenturds though we still won’t give you no donations probably.

I’m too retarded to have anything even remotely coherent to add to these brilliant discussions other than to say Rachel, I love you! Stop beating up on yourself all the time. Madge, one of the best grums in a long, long time.

Totally. Agreed.

But again, in the case of Gaga, I don’t fault her for surrounding herself with talented people. I would too in her position.

Best,
Rachel

Miceri,

I don’t actually think that you are hating on me at all.

I am in total support of accountability. I don’t defend bad behavior.

I agree with you.

Rachel

Hi Jaime,

Great question about the “‘new holocaust’ paranoia” as you refer to it.

I was born this way.

Thank you so much. I would love to discuss this subject more. It’s heavy and intense and hard to untangle, but the upshot is, no more blood spilled over land. Not one drop.

Hi Micerl,

I am very familiar with this site, and I am glad it exists.

Like I said, I agree with you, and I don’t feel hated on at all, nor is this about me thinking Israel is a “goody two shoes”.

Hopefully though, other people who do not know about this site will check it out, thanks to you.

Although there are some typos, I would like to share a link as well. This post was written by a contemporary British guy writing about israel and how it is portrayed in the media in england.

Thank you so much, Patty Hearst!! i am working on not beating myself up all the time in therapy. Just like you, I got myself a nasty case of the Stockholm Syndrome.

Madge, as I relistened to this grum, I noticed something you said, sort of in a side note, about branding and how much you hated it.
This stuck in my head, and I have to say, I think everything is branding, even Yeast Radio is a brand, as well as Madge Weinstein, at least to the gentle few who are in the know. I came across a guide recently, in the aftermath of these wonderful revolutions that took place in Tunisia and Egypt earlier this year, where protesters from one country listed a couple of helpful hints as bullet points to protesters in another (presumably northern African) country (I can’t find the link anymore, or I would post it here of course). I remember the first one was to choose a (corporate) colour, I’m assuming, at least to a certain part, to be identified by international news broadcasters and the visual media we have today, in general. Like the oppositions in the Ukraine and Iran have their colour (orange and green), which is a certain kind of branding in itself. I don’t remember if the protesters in Egypt and Tunisia used a sort of branding for their protests. The protesters in the 1956 uprising in Hungary had their iconic symbol (the tricolour flag with the round hole in the middle, where they cut out the communist symbols). I can’t help but feel that everything is branding, and, as Rachel said, everyone is a target audience.
I’d like you to pick this topic up again and dig a deeper into it, on an ETHS or, preferably, in a Soloshow.

Maybe Rachel could read her Passover-/Haggadah-poem which is mentioned in that Jewish Journal-article in an upcoming YR-appearance. I’d be interested to hear it.

This show was published some 10 months ago or something but I have to say it was an awesome show. I love you both. Inspirational, moving, touching, and thought-provoking discussions.
