Cole Porter was gay?
I'm appalled!

No more of his swishy "pop" music for me.

From now on its only manly music like Judas Priest.

At least I have my literary heroes, Oscar Wilde and Gertrude Stein to fall back on.

2. Based on his 'falling back' on other famously gay folks
I'd say it's a joke. :D

4. I get a kick out of you.
Thank God for Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Michaelangelo, et al. Mere alcohol didn't thrill them at all. And don't fence me in.

14. Husker Du
I used to work with Greg Norton at the Green Mill in St.Paul MN.He was happy most often. Not too gay Married I think.
Grant Hart and Bob were an item. Some sort of love tryst and that was the end of Husker.

12. FG
nice whip, but kangaroo hide is tighter, tougher, & more supple.

mine are 7', and 13', both 16 plait.

not too good w/ the 13; heavy & hard to control. i can cut leaves, then cut the leaf stump w/ the 7.


their music is a bit harsh for me (love cole porter!), but i've decided not to hate rob for his freedoms.
