I used to bunk off all the time and spent most schooldays sat in a tree in the woods. Beautiful

[@honeybane]

Deep respect for this man. Take the blinkers off and then listen with your wholeselves. Some of the viewers have to seriously expand their self limiting beliefs. Ideally.

[@laurencewaring8039]

Crass and Gong have a lot in common. Two of my favourite bands, two wildly different sounds.

[@jeffkelty6636]

Reminds me of lectures I heard on radio by the great Alan Watts. Thank you both for this discussion.

[@jeffsmith50001]

40 years ago I went to Penny and the CRASS compound. That fucking soup and bread was better than Heroin. Nearly.

[@sihaves8808]

Penny seems very relaxed talking to you John. Thanks for this. Interestingly i always found the message underlying Crass was simply Love one another? So quite spiritual for want of a better word.

[@pjmn55]

Penny Rimbaud was always more 1968 than 1977.

[@StevieZero]

He was more 1958

[@craig0weston20]

Been studying Tai Chi for 25 years and would love to spend some time with Penny.

Great conversation, thanks!

Poetic Jester -- LOVE this . Love the image of the dancing particles . I just drew this idea with my Sea Clown Mer Girl , but now I am hearing the energy so well described / No one but a drummer could know it , I think .

[@jeffsmith50001]

Ask Penny about The Fall. And M.E.S.

[@garyrigby21]

was this interview longer? Just wondering why there was no intro and it suddenly cuts off at the end

[@user-ok7em4xx3w]

Oh, my Darling... in terms of the fundamental nature of things, the particles appear to be giving way to a simpler geometry (amplituhedron)... which perhaps brings us back to Plato with his 'solids'... who knows? I'm sure you'd love the bottom to fall out of the relative paradigm, because when all is said and done... blah blah blah...X

[@jeffsmith50001]

Hi Paul Whittaker !. Hope you are well.

[@honeybane]

You CAN be you. 🙏🏼🕊️🤍🪽🦋🪥🪬🐝

[@jeffsmith50001]

The mushrooms understand The Dancing Particles. 2 places at the same time.

[@honeybane]

What about the God Molecule n our DNA. Infinite and all at once existing in timelines which are in continual motion, every cause has an effect. We create our own realities for sure. I’ve tapped in and out of many existences and I came to this existence with many memories and, I have experienced too much that has proved undeniable.

[@MrAlistar99]

Ask him if he gets a pension

[@user-ok7em4xx3w]

P.s. - "Yes".... but "no" X

[@lyndseyperrott2830]

Genuinely disappointed with PR’s comments on vaccinations. As a Crass fan, vegan Wally respecter that specialised in microbiology but can’t support animal testing or misinformation x there’s preventable diseases killing kids, due to fears of vaccinations x

[@ecosoaps3971]

Yep and he says we don't need doctors but he let a surgeon fix his heart.

[@MrAlistar99]

​@@ecosoaps3971he has also said some things supporting islam aswell but made a living out of slating christianity

[@sspbrazil]

Yeah I found that odd and he’s anti-government, but he was taken care of by the NHS, it’s quite ironic.

[@MrAlistar99]

@@sspbrazil wonder if he gets a pension

[@sspbrazil]

@@MrAlistar99 he comes from an upper middle class family, so I imagine he’s gotten an inheritance, I’m not sure about a pension though.

[@olivierlattion]

Quel dommage qu'il faille endurer un son et une image de merde , comme de coutume pour ces interviews à distance. Pourquoi diable ne pas se réunir dans la même pièce et filmer convenablement?

[@JOHNROBBofficial]

Because we don't have a spare £2000 lying around to pay for a film crew, and people like you won't pay for content...

[@jenniferarnold-delgado3489]

J'aime bien la lumiere , C'est dans le meme humeur de l'homme qui parle . @@JOHNROBBofficial
