Then had to get ready for work. As I brushed  my teeth, my mind put a melody to the words.Later, after work, I listened - -  my mind had been correct. :):)Regardless of the song's topic, and the song being originally from 1980, the song brings about a myriad of thoughts and feelings to me.But I do give credit to the group for a very original (to me) creation. And a great performance.I just now looked the song up in Wikipedia. Ug. We humans, I think, could do well to just get along with each other regardless of differences.As for "Eat My Crack," you can keep it. I stopped listening after about 12 seconds.  less

    I was taken aback with sadness last night reading of Diane Keato...  moreI was taken aback with sadness last night reading of Diane Keaton's death. An amazingly talented actress to me.When I was in high school, director Richard Brooks' movie "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," starring Keaton, was released. My parents knew I was always very much involved/interested in all forms of fine arts.
    Up to that point in my life, I had NEVER seen such RAVE critical reviews of an actor's/actress' performance as I had reading about her performance in the movie. The movie was rated "R," so I needed an 'official' adult to go with me.I asked Dad to take me, "Dad, I'd like to see her performance." We went.The movie (very much appropriately rated, ha!) - - and Keaton -- literally took my breath away. I then read Judith Rossner's book, on which the movie was based. Great book, too.I'll always be thankful to Diane Keaton for pulling me into the experiences.   less

I question why some medical specialists couldn't come up with a less-strange word.

Everything I've seen her in she portrays such a real, authentic person. As far as newsworthy moments of the last weeks, Rowlands remains the most noteworthy and impactful to me; she's with me. Thank you, Gena, for your work.The original "Gloria," "The Notebook," and " A Woman Under the Influence" come to my mind at the moment.
    PLOT SPOILER! "The Notebook"For me, I forget whoever were the two main stars/characters - - for me, I was most moved by two supporting roles --  Gena Rowlands portraying the "leading lady" character as an older woman. And actor James Marsden really impacted me in his role of the guy whom the"leading lady" character dumps at the beginning. I thought through the whole movie, "Why did you dump him? Especially in how he was so understanding and respectful of your choice to dump him."  less

    The movie remains unbelievably scary to me and superlative in countless ways. I have numerous times been to where it was filmed and have met and talked with cast members and have letters from some of them.Even as a 12-years-old boy, I knew a great movie.  :)  less

    And reading books, seeing movies, with plots about opposite-sex couplings all the time.
     
    And, horrors!  -- As a child, I even saw pictures of opposite-sex couplings! 
     
    And, yet, after all that, I'm still gay.
