I've just really discovered the music inside this album (to steal a line from INLAND EMPIRE... "They found something inside the story"...) and can listen to it endlessly now because it sounds better every time. It has affected me as very few other albums ever have. There are no ringers or "filler" on this album. The quality is present to the listener through and through.

I love this song. It feels like sitting on the edge of a pond, surrounded by tall grass, and basking in the heat of a summer's day.

the ol' spear-shaker was probably just joking with folks - by all accounts it was a bawdy era - plus there was the whole glam-rock phenomenon, a lot of straight musicians had to act swishy to be hip - just a phase. Hey, even Bowie married straight, after all his Major Tom disguises - to each his own - someone said sexuality isn't a polarity, it's a spectrum - so everybody can be whatever, and even play around with it (tho maybe not all the way) - roles make good stagecraft

@SupernalOne Yea I remember reading about gender confusion in the 'Twelfth Night' too in high school. Although I didn't pay much attention to it, I find it more interesting when people like Brian Eno and David Bowie do it. I guess it they want to explore different states of being by transcending the physical constraints, and they do this via their art and on screen character etc. Not sure what Shakespeare intended to convey via gender confusion. I should have paid attention in high school!

@misterchicitymayne

ah, OK -- come to think, there is a British tradition of intentional gender confusion in the arts - Shakespeare's girls masquerading as boys (so, haha, the male lead finds he desires a boy, to his discomfiture) -- or Sir Gawaine & the Green Knight, where Sir G pledges to give his host whatever he catches during a day's hunt - but the GK's wife attempts to seduce Sir G - so would Sir G have to bugger the GK if he'd swived his wife first? Oh haha, etc. - so, got it, thanks

[misterchicitymayne]

@SupernalOne Yeah. They play around with gender boundaries. They are not gay..
