    props to him for being able to come out with that. the comments about how it will be hard to listen to his music now are cringe worthy.

    In summation: It won't be hard to listen to/enjoy his music, but it'll be difficult to listen to/enjoy his music in the same light used before.

    Art is art. But it's like (and this is an EXTREME example, I stress [inspired by Django]) If you were a black dude and had fiction books taking place in slave days that you often enjoyed about a freer of slaves described only as a warrior. Every time you read, you could picture and imagine your hero saving tons of families and standing for what's moral and right......

    Then you go to Comic Con and the black author reveals that the freer of slaves was a white dude the entire time, just never explicitly said or hinted around it...


    There's going to be guys who will turn on the stories, there'll be guys who continue reading, but there will for certain be people that just can't enjoy in the same light as they did when they pictured their hero to be one of their own.. It shouldn't take away from where those stories brought you to before having the knowledge, but it just does.

    If you already were liking his music it means you are gay.

    You have to look at the context of those kind of remarks. Imagine that marvin gaye was gaye and see how you feel when you listen to sexual healing. A good song will make you lose yourself in the environkent and mood that the songs creates for you. If you are not gay then the prospect of imagining another guys dick in you is just disgusting, in the same way that a gay dude might find a vagina disgusting.

    Wait...so you're about to hit it and the thing that comes into your mind is how a song was written for a dude.

    You might be gay if you can't keep your focus.

    You do realize that Freddy Mercury was gay and Queens "We Are The Champions" is a song about gay pride. And yet all the Alpha males hug and sing along in unison at sporting events.

    Do people also get freaked out when they hear a song that a woman wrote about a man?

    Music is art, and art is about interpretation, so what matters is what a song means to you.

    There is also the question of if he even writes his own lyrics, I don't know anything about him, but it's very possible he just sings songs that his label tells him to.

    If two guys have all ready made up their mind they want to smash the same chick, I don't see the reason to do it in tandem... Wait your turn.... in the other room. I go first...

    Is it gay #ionno, but I'm declining that invitation. NO HESITATION.

    What kind of decisions are some of you guys making in your everyday lives that causes you to question your affinity towards a talented artist's music simply because of who he/she chooses to sex?
