?!? Are you serious? I mean, you must be joking right? I can't even
imagine calling up an artist, who put out an album as great as Rufus' and
actually tell him to "downplay the gay thing"? And if I did have the nerve
(and the brash stupidity) I wouldn't be surprised at all if he told me to
fuck off. In fact, if he *didn't* tell me to fuck off I'd be worried about
the guy.
I could go on and explain why I think this is incredibly lame, but instead
I'll just let a recent bumper sticker I saw say it all nice and concise:
=I don't mind straight people,
=as long as the act gay.
