Not guilty.

No. Don't even!

If it's a guy and he's (someone's idea of) "cute," I KNOW that what's on inside will be complete crap.

I have been sucked in by cover art, though. It's why I bought Disraeli Gears (and got way lucky).

Let's see. Who have I bought since Janis, Grace, Linda and Joni? Cindy, Pat and Debbie? Leanne Rhimes? I really like Imelda May and Shirley Manson, but I wouldn't walk across the street to see either as a solo. "Their" bands are more important to me. Gaga and Katie. Dance music definitely isn't my thing, but I really like some of the their ballads, especially Gaga.

And it really is sick, but I could listen to Whitney Houston sing the line: "and I-----------ee-I---will al---wa-ays love you" a couple dozen times in a row, and maybe three consecutive Star Spangled Banners. There are a lot of amazing female voices out there. I just don't care for their music/styles.

Plus, listening to that stuff makes me feel too gay.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
