Today's Music, Sexuality Etc.

                    Living In the Past                   


 I thought I had all the answers
 And that I was some sort of god
Thinking I could cure life's cancers
What an arrogant, pitiful sod.

Invisibility hides all the pain
Anger's taken over my mind
My self-esteem's down the drain
I now see the world as unkind.

This is a self-pity wallow
I know I swim in a tepid pool
My heartbeats are quite hollow
I should have stayed in school

But it's too late for dreaming
Reality slaps me hard in the face
I could kick myself for seeming
To be in my rightful place.

So what's so great about music now?
Most of it really grates on my nerves
All my music gods are now sacred cows.
I'm still not sure what purpose they serve.

So here I am living in the past.
Memories and all that crap.
When will genuine talent win out at last?

  Bring Back the Talent

Is that too much to ask?
This riotous noise is driving me mad
It will be a very formidable task
And that, above all, really makes me sad.

So the Boys wrote Domino Dancing---big deal?
Was that the straw that broke America's back?
God forbid you banish their guns of steel
You know, the ones proudly mounted on a rack.

I mean, school shootings take a back seat
So what's one more dead kid to add to the score?
Americans could never, ever admit defeat
And that controlling their weapons matters more.

So I highly doubt Neil and Chris are perverted
Just because their sex lives are different than theirs
The Stonewall riots pretty much had asserted
That behind all bedroom doors, who the hell cares?

So what I am trying to tell everyone here to know
Gun violence is so incredibly deadly and dire
I mean, look at them flocking to every gun show
Their answer to anything off-colour's to fire.

Sensation: A Novel----A Good Idea Or Not? You Decide

First off, I'd like to know what all you Pet Shop Boys think about me writing a novel based on their lives and careers. It is written in novel form, which means it's a work of fiction and not some ill-conceived attempt at exploitation. That means that it is the furthest thing from my mind to capitalize on two incredible musicians who've been dealt a raw deal with regard to being harshly judged for their sexuality, particularly in America and to a lesser degree, Australia. This has irked all of us for a very long time, because to shut out an extraordinarily talented duo of singer/songwriters is a damn shame. I live in Canada, where we are much more liberal in our thoughts and opinions of homosexuality, but unfortunately, because we live next door to the United States OF America, we get wrapped up in their odd dogma, what with worshiping the gun culture and allowing school shootings to become the norm rather than the exception, but then Janet Jackson accidentally flashes a br

Who Cares? A Poem

-
Who cares what your sexuality is? It's nobody's business but yours. Yet in the shallow  world of show biz Homophobia and ignorance soars. I don't like to talk about stuff such as this. But the world seems to be quite obsessed. Folks need to stop wondering just who to kiss. It's nobody's business, I will always attest. Morality's really just one lonely word. Those who extol its virtues are blind. We all have our choices--haven't you heard? Just reach out with love and remain warm and kind. The Pet Shop Boys don't worry about all these things At least that's the impression I get. They live and love and enjoy what that brings. They've obviously found love, I'm willing to bet. So just worry about your own affairs, why don't you. The world will keep turning and the sun will still shine Do you know that expression; "To thine self be true?" To choose is a right and self-love is all mine.
