Michael, thanks for all of that information...certainly reinforces that Mack's fears about being gay in Central TX are WELL-founded. *My* state senator turned 99 this week, so he's doing good if he doesn't mess his pants...
I've been conversing with my sister about this SA issue, and she told me that in the gay & lesbian community they call the slips "Don'tnations"...sounds like something the clever Mr. van Tiel would come up with. Also, regarding your NP: <<NP: Alicia "Yawn" Keys, "A Woman's Worth">> I don't see why Alicia has gotten all the attention, over other (and imo better) new voices like India Arie & Yahzarah. Is it strictly a physical thing, I mean the fact that she's so easy on the eye? She can sing great, but these songs are so weak, and so lyrically banal. Seems like the hype could be more evenly spread across the board, that's all. Bob NP: Dianne Reeves, "River"
