I wanna know why we're sick.
I mean, I know why I'm sick, but I want to know why talking about gay music is sick...sick like how? Like sick sense of humor? Like morally reprehensible for talking about homosexuality? Let's have some details, so we know who we're dealing with.

From what I read, Greg... it says.
There is no such thing as gay music.. stop talking about it... its immature... focus on something different like goths... (he evidently doesn't like goth people - you know.. the Elvira looking types)

Oh! ? ...my,my.,aren't we being a bit sensitive Peter? No wonder why I didn't get it. I think he was trying to create levity. I just didn't get his last sentence but now I realize he just butchered the word goth(g)
Peter-you seem to be a genuine, good-hearted man, however, sometimes I think you worry about our feelings too much, but I guess that's better than being an untrustworthy codge out to hurt everyone's feelings., so keep on protecting us from the cruelty of others.

^ My feelings too, Gdubster.
That was an unprovoked insult from the new guy. Not a good way to introduce yourself to a "room," or to join a conversation, think I. I get pissed off at rudeness as much as the next person -- maybe more.
I'm not out to "protect" everyone -- I just don't believe in being silent in the face of willful ignorance. Why should I let a new poster drive me (or my buds) away, or stay silent when he tries to stop an exchange that I'm part of? I have principles, and I'm a grown man -- I push back, when pushed first, like most people here. (You too.)
I may be more "sensitive" (as you put it) than thou, but -- as Popeye would say, and you should relate to this: I am who I am.
Let me be a sensitive and pedantic prog fan, sometimes joking, sometimes serious, often wrong -- that's who I am.
Okey-dokey? You be you (a likeable enough chap, BTW, if Republican), and I'll be me.

The quote is gay? Or are you just not a big Replacements fan?

Well, the sentiment is the opposite of mine above, but I'm a huge Westerberg and Replacements fan, James -- good stuff!
(Of course, I had thought of that song when I wrote my post.)

Jesus dies and goes up to Heaven. The
first thing he does is look for his father, as he has never met the man
before and is curious as to what he looks like, and whether or not
Jesus looks like his mother or father, etc. He looks high and low but
cannot find him.
He asks St. Peter "Where is my
father?" But St. Peter says he doesn't know.
He asks the archangel Gabriel "Where is my father?" But Gabriel doesn't know.
He asks John the Baptist "Where is my father?" But John does not know. So he wanders Heaven,
impatiently searching.
Suddenly he sees out of the mist an old
man coming toward him. The man is very old, with white hair, stooped
over a little. "Stop!" Jesus yells. "Who are you?"
"Oh, please help me, I am an old man in
search of my son." Jesus is very curious. Could this be his father?
"Tell me of your son, old man."
"Oh, you would know him if you saw him. Holes in his hand where the nails
used to be, he was nailed to a cross, you know..."
"Father!!!!!" Screams Jesus.
"Pinocchio!!!!!!!" yells the old man.

I like that the song is about boredom, not empathy
that reminds me...anybody know a Joe Walsh song about stuff to do when you're bored? I remember he suggested the watusi, watching I Love Lucy, speaking Japanese and making collect calls. Yet I can't find the song no matter how I Google the clues. Anyone?

Returning to the "gay"issue. I always understood that if someone said for eg "Shakespeare is so gay" they meant it was a bit lame!
Just thought I'd clear that misunderstanding up for you all!
I dont understand the fuss!

So in your eyes I'm a bit lame.
perhaps Danbo was right about you!!
