I know that this is old topic from soc.motss.faq but I need to ask - why
is this author labelled as anti-gay? I would appreciate e-mail replies
since the faq said not to rehash the topic. Thank you.

Well, the reason I received this catalogue is that I had ordered one of
the titles, a CD of '40s-'50s singing cowboy stuff called "Wagon Wheels".
It's great campy fun -- best listened to while reclining in a rough-hewn
chair with half-wheel armrests while wearing a western-cut shirt with lots 
of cowgal fringe.  It features some really stunning 5-part harmonies by 
the Sons of the Pioneers (obMotss: the PGMC small group may try doing 
some of their numbers), Texas swing by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, 
_Cattle Call_ by Eddy Arnold (obMotss: used in My Own Private Idaho), 
a rare recording of _South of the Border_ by Patsy Cline, and an improbable 
but excellent rendition of _Don't Fence Me In_ by Bing Crosby and the 
Andrews Sisters.

Unfortunately it also has a couple of cuts from Slim Whitman.

The more tender of our gentle readers may have been too young to have
experienced the true, gut-wrenching horror that was the infamous Slim 
Whitman TV album from the mid-70s.  His voice is uncannily reminiscent
yodeling donkey on helium.  Try to imagine with your mind's ear the full 
frontal auditory assault that is his rendition of _Down in the Valley_:

   [queasy introductory twangs of steel guitars and saws]

   Down in the vaAAAAAaahl-eee, the valley so loOoOow,
   late in the EEEEEeeeve-nIn', hear the train bloOoooooow.
   Hear the train blOOOOOOOw, love, hear the train blOOOOoOOOOoOoOoOOw,

i can't be sure if it enough cause for a real change of heart or not,

gay (looked that way to me, and strongly averred by some of those i

There's Boystown of South Florida, a home for dependent boys, run by the
Catholic Diocese of Miami.  They do not require you to be Catholic to live
there, as I am not and lived there over two years, coming there from Dade
County-run Kendall Children's Home.  You do, however, have to be a boy,
last I heard, which has been at least 12 years ago.

("Dependent", by the way, is simply the word the System uses to
differentiate children who become wards of the state through no fault
of their own from "delinquents", who become wards of the state by
being convicted of breaking the law.)

In the NY metropolitan area, saying "I'm going into New York" is more vague
than saying "I'm going into the City." This due to the fact that the founding
fathers were so silly that they named a city, a county, and a state the same
thing.

Assuming someone who says "I'm from New York" is a Manhattanite can be
dangerous to your health.

You know what works?  Get a close friend to get
you on their American Express card - you get a
card in your name, but the bill comes to them
(which means that you *must* make the effort to
pay them immediately.)  You get a credit card 
and after a while, you can apply for your own.

It worked for me.

Sorry, guys, but the part of the bank I work in thinks
of the last 6 digits of the dollar amount of a transaction
as insignificant for display purposes.  Close to trust

I could give you some names, though......

Unless YOU're a toxic waste dump, I don't see how you could imagine it
was "about you", and I think you did take it too seriously, since it
led to two or more screenfuls of pique from you to skip over.

Listen, if you were living in Boston, your insurance rates would be
much higher than they are now.  Woburn (the TWD where you're living now)
is not Boston proper.  Gay men who prefer to spend their $$$ on clothing
live in Boston proper--in the Back Bay or the South End; they don't live
in Woburn or in Davis Square, Somerville.

Also, look for a copy of Father McNeil's book "the Church and the
Homosexual."  It's now out of print, but you might find a copy used.  In
it, the author takes each biblical passage on homosexuality and debugs
it; and does an excellent job.
