When you play the reversed part backwards, I think you can hear John say, "Paul's a big fat cunt."

On this date in 1963, Governor George Wallace stands in the schoolhouse door, blocking admission of African Americans to the University of Alabama. The entire nation is rightfully disgusted by the blatant, unbelievable, and obvious racism of anyone connected to the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and anything to do with the miserable Crimson Tide (and I'm pretty sure they all still act that way over there).
