i was emo before emo even existed...
the first time my father called me a 'fag' (pardon the expression, but he did) was the day i went with him to a resteraunt near my house in walled lake- (it was really cool, we rented part of the lake along with our house) and i asked for a quarter for the jukebox, and this is the song i played-
cher- if i could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But baby
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody took a knife
And drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I swore that I didn't care
But I lost every thing darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darling
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time, Baby
I didnt really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
i couldn't really understand what the hell he meant at the time...
but for a long time, i thought i liked sad songs because i was just a miserable person, in all actuality, i just like sad songs... i always have. since before i had ever been hurt by a girl...
so at least there is that...

ahh jeez sweety..sorry dad was insensitive...i love sad songs...but then i love music..and speaking of which ..i saw pet shop boys on the late show after the letterman show the other night..they were awesome...but also saw a band called peeping toms...and they were kick ass..were also on the late late show...the peeping toms are scot's or at least the lead singer is..i really did like them...
eeeeeeeeeeeek Cher!
I still don't know wtf emo means.
There's nothing overtly gay or straight about liking sad songs. Leonard Cohen's a good example of a profoundly sad singer with a (I believe) predominantly straight following.
Hey... I posted the article you requested. It is called "The Day I Was Gay." Hope you're doing ok.
