5. Still sad in any effect... but boy...gave me a bit of a shock
with Johnny Cash dying recently I was starting to think all the people whose music I enjoy were dropping off...

8. That video is a classic
Shania Twain (whose "music" I otherwise can't stand) did a hilarious parody of Addicted to Love, I think the video was for the song "Man I Feel Like a Woman" or something like that? She was surrounded by vacant eyed gorgeous male models I think, LOL.

Damn it seems like everybody cool has been dying lately. :( Barry White, Johnny Cash and John Ritter on the same damn day, etc.

Whoever said Fridays have gone to the dogs lately is totally right.

18. And you are the arbiter of all that is right?
It's a character, and it's come to be synonymous with Allen here. If you don't like it, disable images.

20. I like it. No LOVE IT!!!!
Edited on Fri Sep-26-03 09:30 AM by NewYorkerfromMass
reminds me of what I like about my gay friends who aren't afraid to be demonstrative queens and show their love of life.
So TioDiego, I suggest you loosen up and enjoy life a little. My only criticism of it is it could be a little smaller and bandwidth friendly.

should get a note from all of the people he is posting pictures of, so we know he has their permission to post them.

45. For what it's worth
I'm a huge Queer Duck fan and your sig never fails to put a smile on my face. I also love the fabulous women you always put there too. :)

Bipolar Bear is my favorite character...we're kindred spirits I think. :)

7. This needs to go in LBN
It seems like there have been many celebrity deaths this year, moreso than normal, maybe it's just part of growing older, but it just seems that way.

9. Agreed
I rarely - okay, never - read the lounge in the morning and wouldn't have known about it if not for the LBN thread that Lazarus locked.

12. Robert Plant would have been more ironic.
It was this day 20 years ago that John "Bonzo" Bonham died :evilfrown:

and RIP Robert Palmer too.

27. I wasn't a big Robert Palmer fan, but I loved the song
Edited on Fri Sep-26-03 09:48 AM by Aristus
he did with UB40, "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight". That was wonderful. Loved the video, too. Rest In Peace, man.

Oh, and leave arwalden and his duck alone. I happen to like the sig. If YOU don't like it, I'll send Skittles around to kick your ass.

BTW, Arwalden, I like the addition of the Tina Turner pic. The woman is a goddess! :thumbsup:

36. Allen -- I like the duck
If I knew how to post pictures here, I'd ask for a copy of it -- and I'm not even gay. Just, you know, to piss off certain people who climbed out the wrong side of the bed this AM.
Maybe we should all post it. Solidarity and unity, you know. As long as no one tries to change my haircut or my wardrobe, I'm cool with all of it.
John
Illegitimi non carborundum, Allen. Keep the duck.

Great in the 1970s. Not so great thereafter, but did go to all the fab parties with the beautiful people.

I always enjoyed Robert Palmer's approach to his music.

He was truly an original.
