Just an aside...

The music of David Gedge is making me happy. In a world where everyone wants to give the impression that they are thinking high-minded thoughts, when they are secretly repressing every ounce of sexuality, Mr Gedge can still get away with lyrics like 'I cried your name and then I came'. I mean, bless him

you're about self-hating for a homosexual as I am self-denying an Olympic athlete.

Illness is underrated as a spark for creativity, well, for output at least.

You make me think of supposedly helpful incursions and interventions, but if you're edgy there's little point...

Maybe if you wore a trilby you'd appear less ill?
Maybe if I am ill you won't feel so bad?
Maybe this is just what stress does, awkwardly but hey:
Maybe it doesn't make you:
a) evil
b) bad
C) subject to summary moralisations
d) look any worse in the afore-mentioned trilby

Sexual respression is overrated, it's evident, people are scared and yet flirt; gratuity is dangerous and yet a wonderful expression of humanity on humanity.

Mind you, kinky can be boring, so they say.

the same gratuity on the wholesome level of companionship is where people should be alowed to reside more often, but it never seems to be.

Erm, what am I saying?

Some might say you're being unduly punished for your posts in their replies.

Who knows?

Bad bad boy or no.

I'm not sure my posts warrant such reward, actually!

Yes 'kinky' strikes me as having something to do with repression too. Not quite sure what the relationship is.

Thats the difficult part, isn't it?

I shall look into trilby-wearing at the first opportunity.

Repression

[numb3r5]

It seems that sexual repression is the norm in so-called civilized cultures.

To be natural is not allowed. The result is too often one extreme or the other: unrestrained bestiality or feigned saintliness.

Fortunately, there has always been subversive music to help avoid a sense of loneliness. Once one realizes, as you do, that societal norms are a hypocritical pose, then you can relax and enjoy your so-called perversions.

Thanks for sharing the info about the musician and his music.
