It is obvious that the author of this text doesn't get it. The author doesn't understand that to really understand an artist – Barbara or any other artist – one has to interpret the practitioner. In other words, one doesn't just listen — one must WATCH THE WAY THE ARTIST interprets the songs. And you can't tell me when Barbara St. sings – IT's A Lazy Afternoon — and really watches the way she extrapolates the words – with such grand and glorious pausing – one isn't impressed. In short, Barbara and her music must be DUG. The author didn't DIG IT — BECAUSE HE WAS OBVIOUSLY BIAS AGAINST BARBARA BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED HIS SELF-centered comments. He as much said this in his piece. What every happened by blank-slating-it and putting it in neutral so the critic's opinion has some honesty and innocency to it. You certainly do not see it here.

There's no “conspiracy theory” in my heteroseparatist manifesto.

I thought you were never going to visit Popdose again after my “Running Scared” post, Adorno. What gives? The lure of free music brought you back? The gay people I know aren't freeloaders. Just sayin' …

Given her solemnity these days, I was surprised to see her loosened up in Meet the Fockers. Though she and Dustin Hoffman co-ran the First Artists production company in the 70s it's impossible to imagine them sharing the same soundstage back then, when they were both huge--and hugely self-important. (Hoffman seems so much happier these days, with the weight of mega-stardom and expectations off his back.)

As you wrote, gay culture has always informed the culture-at-large. The movies have been infused with a queer sensibility since forever. And we've lived with it quite happily.

Middle America accepted gay culture decades ago. How do you think “Top Gun” sold so many tickets? Duh.

No, maybe your are, and gays like you in the big cities on the coasts, but don't forget the majority of americans live inbetween and will never accept your culture
