This is the one where my iPod is gay.
I think that I have one of the gayest iPods ever (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Here are some facts about my little mp3 player that will prove that there it is a little queer:
It holds 2 versions of Hello Dolly cast recordings; I have the Barbara Streisand film soundtrack and also the original Broadway cast recording.
I own every Madonna album every released in the U.S., and a few imports too.
I not only own and listen to, but I have practically memorized the entire recording of the legendary Judy Garland concert which was performed live at Carnige Hall in 1962.
The lyrics to the song “The Gay Messiah” are pretty damn gay. “He will then be reborn / From 1970’s porn / Wearing tubesocks with style / And such an innocent smile.”
I’ve got the original motion picture recording of The Wizard of Oz, the original London cast recording of The Wizard of Oz, the original motion picture recording of The Wiz, and the original Broadway cast recording of The Wiz.
There’s actually some more evidence than this (some techno-remixes, Diana Ross’ I’m Coming Out, The play count on Beyonce’s Irreplaceable, etc), but I think that the above examples prove the sexuality of my iPod just fine.
I love my iPod, regardless of the choices he has made. I love it so much I was thinking of joining PFLAG.
@cheapblueguitar you leaving?? Or just singing?
i love the wiz! Awesome soundtrack.
hmmm, no Boy George tracks?
Hahaha…yes, I actually do have one Boy Geogre track. You’ve got to have Faith, right?
That’s Goerge Michael not Boy George… same thing though :)
Great post. I laughed. Loving your iPod no matter what choices it makes is the best thing you can do for it. Teach it that it’s ok to be a gay, but also not be defined by it.
Thanks for the laugh.
