For anyone one who saw/read I, Claudius.,Caligula portrayed as one sick Emperor.
Next line : Beating Tired Bones?
Sounds like Tool has a different idea of "remaining relevant".
And this final line : "Ponce de Leon". This is street in downtown Atlanta, heavy traffic here means its rather hard to drive fast and chase anyone down, yet our heroes are here classing something.....

Caligula was a war general known for being greedy and a tyrant. He is simply saying that Caligula would grin at seeing the many spoils of war (being in the band and all that comes with it), but he's getting older now and it's hard to see things the same way and hard to keep going, hence beating tired bones. It's pretty straight forward actually. No need to be digging off to the side of the rabbit hole that goes nowhere.
__________________ "WITHOUT A LITTLE EVIL, GOOD WOULD NEVER EXIST"
Plenty of emperors and historical figures were known for greed and tyranny. But why, specifically, Caligula? Caligula, by his time with Tiberius on the Isle of Capri was known for being debaucherous to an extreme. That's a contemporary view of him and Tool chose the name drop. Tool may yet be a band of horny old men "beating tired bones".
i don't want to think about it much more than that.
It really isnt, but referencing Caligula is worth of some discussion if event to resurrect the memory of an emperor possibly deeply hated by his people for his perverted ways or just by historians.
Caligula wasn’t a perverted tyrant for zero reasons. He was forced to live in the household of Tiberias, who was rumored to have poisoned Caligula’s father (Germanicus). When Caligula‘s mother openly voiced this accusation, Tiberius put her on an island and left her to starve to death.
Those are some serious hangups for a little kid who grows up in someone’s house, and is expected to be respectful to a ruthless emperor who murdered most of his family.
Anyone who can’t see the parallels between Caligula’s situation and Keenan’s growing up can simply look at the cover for the single Tool put out for Prison Sex. A person who uses stinkfisting as a metaphor for overstimulation doesn’t do so in a vacuum. The reference to Caligula grinning is a grim acknowledgement of personal trauma.

Now we are spiraling out AND pushing the envelope!

I'm definitely ignorant to Atlanta's politics beyond a few absolutely admirable sculptures.

The pitchfork review singled out this line and said it was inappropriate given the accusations against MJK. The line stood out to me too since Caligula is remembered for being sexually depraved.

It was just a bullshit accusation. So, I don't see how it's inappropriate.

Who accused him?
If you can name this person, then we have a legitimate accusation. If not, then we are dealing with Legoland-level pretend. I'm not surprised to see Pitchfork jump on that wagon.
MJK is not only a sexual assault survivor, he has also been actively giving his time, talents, and money to foundations like RAINN that help other sexual assault survivors.

And pitchfork is owned by Conde Nast making them RichDork media.
"Yeah Tool is fucking amazing. But there’s a big chunk of their fan base that think they’ve become thought provoking geniuses just from listening to them."

thank you. why do they keep giving credence to someone who obviously was not seeking to gain anything? they would have been more open if they really wanted justice to be served. it is another unfortunate symptom of the universe. so much so that we cannot even learn to swim through these disembodied voices without someone pointing their psychopathy at us. fuck you buddy

this trend started recently, 2016 to be exact. zero evidence and a litanie of accusations. i think u know who i am talking about.
