Re: Do Rick and Karl actually like each other?
If you read a lot of the interviews around the release of Drift Series 1, they talk about their relationship quite a bit. A low point they talk about was from after Barking until they went back into the studio together in mid-2014, when they basically weren't speaking to each other. Things were better for the Barbara Barbara recording sessions, and then Karl disengaged again near the release of that album. However, for Drift Series 1, in those interviews, they repeatedly said they were closer than ever.

It's been a few years since then, and who knows what happened during the pandemic, but they still sounded like they were in a good place during that interview. Like a marriage, their relationship has had ups and downs, but they have said that they're committed to never breaking up, and so far for 43+ years they've kept to that.
