Tough, manly, sensitive music

I almost thought Coggers was going to mention it, but he didn't. So I will: Macho Man by the Village People.

Sometimes I search for *pseudonym*.blogspot.com of the folks around here just to see if they keep a blog under the same name. I looked for yours. Pretty sure it's not you, but it is kinda funny.

That's hilarious! No, not me.

Damasta, look again. I linked it in a subsequent response.

...after Claudio pointed it out, that is. I was SO mad at myself for forgetting it. I mean, it's so perfect!!!

Ah, my bad. I was recently (i.e. today) surprised (but then subsequently not surprised) to learn that disco got its start in the New York gay counterculture in the late 1960s (source).

If that little trick works for your 'nym, then: cute kid.

1. that is funny.
2. Voldemort* is exceedingly cute! I need to ask another "Update us on the kids" question. (Though it's less urgent than it was now that I've found most blogs that show pictures, other board readers might want to know that haven't.)
3. I never got the part about where he asked for sensitive music. I didn't find sensitive anywhere in the question, unless it was his sign-off. Or that he asked that the music not drive away the Spirit (which I think is a valid stipulation, and music can still be found that meets it). I also don't think he was asking for songs that glorify masculinity specifically (though maybe now I've interpreted the answers wrong), but songs that listening to made him feel tougher because they were so hard-core and energetic and loud.

*love this name. I love all the names that writers have come up for for their kids.

Thank you, C! I was wondering the same thing. I have no idea why everything thinks he is asking for sensitive music. He asked for macho, clean music. And I can relate to that request (even as a girl) because when I am running I want . . . action music to pump me up.

Yeah, krebscout, if that is your blog, then Voldemort is adorable!

Keep in mind that it was Cognoscente who wrote "sensitive". He was probably gently poking fun at Che Chabon.

Yes. I'm sorry the ribbing didn't translate very well. I'll be meaner next time.

The ribbing translated. But it didn't make sense when every single answerer made fun of the questioner for wanting "sensitive" music when I didn't see anything about that in the question...

I'm still confused.

And...krebscout, that's weird! Everyone knows I said it, though, so your reputation is safe.

Yeah, sorry about that krebscout. I'm not sure why it picked your 'nym, but I know what caused the glitch. And it looks like it did the same thing to yours. In one of the quote tags I forgot the second " and apparently the site didn't like that. I've fixed that entry.
