i fairly recently woke up and found out that my brother and one sister are both gay
they live in cape town, i live in jhb, about 1000 miles apart
they both passed thru johannesburg recently and we all went out for a meal
notwithstanding my overriding appreciation for good-looking females, i’ve always had an appreciation for a good-looking male
it was a particularly fun experience going out with my brother and sister and perving over good looking guys with my brother and good looking ladies with my sister
viva la difference!
or something like that
just a lil’ something else and then i’ll leave this thread well alone
i’ve been doing CD reviews for the newspaper my girlfriend works for
(i was getting pissed off at the fact that i never got to read CD reviews that i really liked, so i started writing my own. she saw one, liked it, showed it to their music guy, he liked it and now i’m writing CD-reviews - good fun)
anyway, today i start listening to a south african band called summersalt (always lowercase cause it saves time - oh children of the internet…
)
some fun, lighty rocking, mainly poppy kinda stuff
if jack russel terriers could play music kinda stuff
and then suddenly, out of the blue, they get all christ-y and god-y on me
now let me be known as mr tolerant
u want to get your thing on and not harm any small animals, other people or other things, it’s kewl by me
i dont care what u invoke, expell or sacrifice, keep it civil and i’ll leave u alone
nowadays CDs carry Explicit Content labels to warn me of language that i use in my everyday life
i use a spicey version of my queen’s english
i’m not boasting about it
i’m damn sure not apologising for it
i’m describing it
but i ‘need’ to be warned about this? 
(are they scared i may pick up new inflections to use?
mind u, if u’ve ever heard Robb Flynn make the expression ‘jesus wept’ his own on the track ‘Old’ from 94’s Burn My Eyes, u might disagree with my disregard for the explicit content label. but i digress…)
can i ask for an ‘Explicit Religious Content’ label?
do your thing, i dont mind, i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again
but
don’t preach to me when u’re pretending to entertain me
even worse, don’t preach to me when i pay u to entertain me
(the eagle memoried among u will bring up the linda ronstadt issue i’m sure, we can chat about that later)
all i want is a label telling me that this recording, this movie, this TV show contains explicit, religious content
and please don’t waste my time by telling me that i should ‘judge it on the music alone’
does the phrase ‘fruit from a poisoned tree’ mean anything to u?
now remember, as u reach for the ‘quote’ button, all i want is a label
i want the information to make an informed decision
that’s all i’m asking for
and i’ve backed down on this a bit allready, originally i wanted an ‘Outdated Superstition Content’ label
