Well, there is always a certain Turbonegro who would reject my feelings as I age here in the projects of Norway (if I ever would have been friends with them).... I enoy their over the top flirtations with all that shit but could never imagine "taking the step beyond girls". I'd rather just grow into an old man and masturbate forever with all the fantasies of an imaginative loner than commiting gay sex. I have gay friends from art school and one dude just died from AIDS (or at least the MySpace was taken down a year after he told me in an email that he had develooped AIDS). Mike 'n' Adam, Brooklyn NYC. I even had those two work with me on a book (doing pencil art on a chapter and some shit). Adam made it drawing super heroes for DC and Marvel, his boyhood dream. Wish I was that good at pencils I could do muscles and architecture....

Thats totally Bizarre. I think you need to see a shrink or some shit, or lay off the psychedelics. Well actually, i'll chime in with a title - if it's a concept LP about Lemmy it could be called "Tanz Der Lemmy" and be about his totally over-the-top feelings as a guy flirting with Nazism so he could live forever.
