Ooo

Nico was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. Her friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped her sign to Elektra Records, described her as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Nico, I'm Jewish,' and she was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' She had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, the belief that she was physically, spiritually and creatively superior."30 According to Fields, in the early 1970s, Nico attacked a mixed-race woman at the Chelsea Hotel with a smashed wine glass, saying "I hate black people".30

In 2019, Nigel Bagley, who was Nico's co-manager and promoter in Manchester, said he never saw Nico express racist views: "She was in a multicultural city and was good friends with Yankee Bill, our American-Jamaican doorman." Her drummer Graham Dowdall said: "She played an Indian instrument, worked with north Africans, and brought that to her music. She was certainly capable of very casual racism about Alan Wise, who was Jewish, but that was a way of having a go at Al."31

Yeah he was still pretty much his very convicted "fuck everyone but the proles" self that he's been for decades....and then like just a few years ago it's like he fell and smacked his head, and now he's living out the logical conclusion of Chris Hitchens' late period rhetoric.

And its not even like he's been saying anything semi-grounded either lol, dude has just been laying absurd far-right flavored eggs, like "Hitler was Left Wing" and "halal meat can only be certified by ISIS"

His switch happened so relatively fast, and he's been saying such wild nonsense, I'm still wondering if there's a tiny chance he just said "fuck it, idc about my image" and dedicated himself to doing an incredibly ridiculous right-wing character bit lol

Ooo

Crazy a Jew birthed her music career but it is what it is I guess
