r/behindthebastards

Truly, maybe one of the most cursed sentences of all time.

As the title says, I hate Them, and the feeling is bad for my health. I can’t bring them up in public without slipping into a rant that makes me sound unhinged. I try not to think about them at all, because it spikes my blood pressure, which is already high, and wrecks my sleep.

This week, everything is dominated by talk of a “war with Iran” - a mix of indulging the whims of a howling manchild and a calculated, toxic push for grotesque profiteering. Alongside that is the genocide in Gaza, which They are helping to sustain. And that’s only part of a much longer list of miseries, horrors, and degradations.

So, something extraordinary, a Moon flyby, the first in my lifetime, and the opening step toward returning us there, barely registers.

Instead, we’re mired in misery, squalor, and death.

Because of Him.

Because of Them.

God, I hate Them.

What a hack. This idiot doesn’t even know his Scorsese movies. Cocaine Cowboys isn’t even a movie, it’s a documentary made in the 2000’s. Does bro even watch movies? The movie he was talking about was Mean Streets.

This week Behind the Bastards covered music producing/songwriting bastard, Phil Spector, and was hosted by Greazy Wil, in a surprise twist of the normal formula.

In addition to teaching us about this abusive asshole, he was also kind enough to create an entire song for BTB in the style of this week's subject. Here is a dropbox link in case you'd like to listen to/download the track:
