Faggotry - June 19, 2006

I was on a date in Silverlake. It wasn't a blind date if you consider that I had first met this person face to face in a bar, talked with him for an hour at least, hit it off with him, given him my number and made plans to go out later in the week. Given my love of Guinness, it was a blind date. I had only a vague idea of his looks. They turned out to be pretty nice, dark like Paco, without the sense that I might lose a limb to his hatchet. We sat and talked about music. He played the bass guitar in a band I'd never heard of, which isn't to impart the impression that he was a loser. I'm not as current with music as the regulars in Silverlake. I'm still discovering ELO.

He was very passionate about the home-recording/street-marketing/myspace.com way of making albums. He knew a lot about it, and seemed to have great disdain for record labels and their executives, whom he said were sick with "soulless faggotry" whatever that meant. He was Australian, so I liked to hear him say it. I asked him to repeat it over and over, especially after the first two Guinness.

Upon consummation of my fourth Guinness I became tired of his whining about record executives and their pigishness and "soulless faggotry," and how they held the carrot of a record deal over his head as if he were the only artist in the world who had been teased in such a manner.

"Maybe you could just suck some cock?" [no response]..."If they're such soulless faggots...erm." [no response]. I then let out a nervous chuckle.

"Nah, not unless they paid me three hundred dollars."

I guess I was glad that I hadn't mortally offended him, so I laughed at his remark. He didn't laugh along with me. It wasn't until later that I put two and two together, his odd and clearly denominated answer to my question, his lack of casualness, his matter of fact way of responding...

...it wasn't a joke, it was his RATE. I then fully understood his disdain for "soulless faggotry."
