If Your Memory Serves You Well free porn video
Author's note: I've had the bare bones of this laying around for quite
awhile. A recent thread here got me back on track. It combines a couple
of personal interests of mine - hopefully it doesn't get too cryptic. I
tried to error on the side of simplicity and keep things brief.

1. It's Either Fortune Or Fame
Perhaps it was not the best choice she could have made. Spending Easter
break in Juarez had at one time seemed a good idea, Janice Lester thought
to herself. But now she was lost, and to make matters worse, it was
raining.
Janice Lester figured it would happen this way, that she would finally
meet that person under the least auspicious circumstances. Spring break
had almost seemed a complete loss - lousy weather for five days in a
border town that she figured would in the future be best described as
somewhere visited, once, briefly.
She met Mario in a drug store, both looking for something to cure an
excess of alcohol and bad food.
"I started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff. In
retrospect, it wasn't such a good idea."
Mario was a grad student back in Seattle, where Janice also went to
school. He took some getting used to, but Janice was sure this was the
real thing. Three days later, they were driving home together.
2. Went To See The Gypsy
Mario was in danger of becoming the eternal student, but at long last his
thesis was beginning to take shape. He actually had started out in
biology, studying a relatively rare species of tern, but he had given up
after realizing that all the male of this particular species were
incredible wimps, whose primary existence in life seemed to center on
satisfying the odd desires of their mates. He had since switched to
sociology.
Janice had convinced him to look at some of the conflicts between the
ideas expressed in popular music and the realities. She was convinced,
without even thinking about it much, that rock music and musicians were
as contradictory as could be.
Mario had seized upon it and had worked on several aspects. His
self-proclaimed biggest challenge loomed.
"Ambiguous sexuality. It's all lip service."
"What?"
"On the one hand, rock'n'roll is mostly about sex, and is, or was, made
primarily by, and for, teenage boys, who, judging from my own personal
experience, want it a lot more than they actually get it. Most would be
happy to have sex on a semi-annual basis. So there wants tend to be
rather basic - they're pretty much looking for the most simple things - a
kiss, a girlfriend, or heaven forbid, a roll on the couch. On the other
hand, rock has always had this undercurrent of subversiveness. There's
been plenty of musicians willing to use their sexuality as a means of
profit and promotion - but up until recently, to look at alternate forms
of sexuality in a meaningful way was only for a few weirdoes. You've got
the glam guys from the early '70's and the new romantics from the early
'80's, and not much else worth mentioning. Nowadays, pretty much
anything goes, but up until a decade or so ago, that wasn't the case.
First, I was gonna deal with gay themes in rock, but that seemed a little
broad. So instead I choose cross-dressing, since it seems to crop up
infrequently, and from some surprising places. And that's what I was
looking for. Stuff by artists who you wouldn't think would do such a
thing."
"Where did you start?"
Well, I think you have to go back to the beginning?
"Elvis?"
"No. Elvis wasn't really the beginning anyway. Well, he was, but he
wasn't. But I'm talking about the beginning of transgender references in
pop music. Elvis seemed perfectly content with a momma fixation,
underage girls, and myriad other strange preoccupations, none of which
seemed to have anything to do with women's clothes.
At least wearing them.
The closest you could come to back them would be Little Richard. I'd put
him in as the first glam guy though. He was so far out of it, he came
across as just some weird oddball.
Awop-bop-a-loo-mop-alop-bam-boom may be gibberish for I want to wear my
sister's dress, but it could just as well mean a million other things."
3. We Drove That Car As Far As We Could
It was on the trip back to Seattle that Janice got her first glimpse of
the charmed life Mario seemed to lead.
Upon getting lost and ending up somewhere in Oklahoma, Mario whizzed
through some small town. Janice could only guess, but she was pretty
sure it was something above 80. Sure enough, Janice soon saw a police
cruiser emerge from behind some bushes just as they got to the outskirts
of town.
Despite a warning from Janice, Mario didn't slow down. In fact, he sped
up a little.
"He hasn't turned on his lights yet. Besides if a cop out here wants to
give you a ticket, he's gonna do it no matter how fast you're going."
After being pulled over, a young cop appeared at their window. Janice
thought it was strange to see an Asian-American policeman in a remote
town in Oklahoma, but she had other things to worry about when the cop
seemed intent of hauling them into jail. That is, until he found out
they came from Seattle.
"Hey, I used to work there."
It turned out Tony, as the cop wanted to be called, had worked for
several years in the Seattle Police Dept, but left after he hit what he
called a "glass ceiling."
"I thought that only applied to women?"
"Don't you believe it. Now get out of here. And don't come back to
Ovid too soon."
5. Like A Mattress Balances On A Bottle Of Wine
"How about the Beatles?"
"They're a highly qualified maybe. I mean, they did write about it, at
least three times by my count, and they were all "guy" guys. The
references though are mostly vague - so I'm not sure how serious they
were. In Obla-di, Molly and Desmond switch places at the end, but it
seems to me it's just a device to spice up and end an otherwise mundane
song.
Get Back has Sweet Loretta, who "thought she was a woman, but she was
another man." Whatever that means. Again it doesn't have much relevance
to the rest of the song."
Polythene Pam
Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam.
Yeah yeah yeah
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built.
Yeah yeah yeah.
"Now this one is a lot better. It's pretty obviously about a cross
dresser, instead of some half-assed vague reference. Though that line
about jackboots and kilt is sort of confusing. Maybe she's a girl
dressed as a guy? I'm not sure what the point is, and most likely there
isn't any - by this time, Lennon, whose song this seems to be, wanted
nothing more than to do straight ahead rock'n'roll, which this definitely
is. I'm sure it also relates to John and Yoko's "Bagism" period - in
"The Ballad of John and Yoko" Lennon mentions "eating chocolate cake in a
bag" and "looking like two gurus in drag."
6. I Was Thinkin' About Diamonds And The World's Biggest Necklace
There was, in the beginning, that necklace. Mario gave it to her a few
weeks after they returned from Juarez. It had to be, Janice thought, the
most hideous looking thing she had ever seen. Janice didn't really want
to wear it, but their relationship was still at that stage where they did
such things for one another. Janice put off wearing it as long as could
- until one Saturday when she was going to spend the day with Mario doing
errands.
The first time she was merely surprised. A young girl, perhaps no more
than seven, approached her and offered Janice two hundred dollars for the
necklace. Had she not been with Mario, she would have quickly agreed.
Unfortunately, the girl was incredibly persistent, to the point of
following them to their car.
For a while in the car Janice considered the fact that the necklace might
have great value - but then again, how many seven year olds would
recognize it as such.
Amazingly Janice spent the day getting various offers for the piece, each
one seemingly more desperate than the previous, and the majority were
from small children. Janice, refused them all with great reluctance.
Then, on their way into the laundromat, someone blindsided them and
ripped the necklace form Janice's neck and disappeared.
"Mario, do me a favor and never buy me jewelry again."
7. I Bargained For Salvation An' They Gave Me A Lethal Dose
"Dylan?"
It wasn't so much a question, as a statement. Janice wasn't exactly sure
which category to put Marco into: Dylan fanatic or Dylan disciple, but it
was definitely one or the other. Their first Halloween had been a new
experience for her - and her friends whose party they attended. An
Einstein disguised as Robin Hood costume can be rather difficult to
figure out. Janice was half repulsed and half fascinated watching Mario,
an aggressive non-smoker, bumming cigarettes from anyone he met. She was
happy however, there wasn't any drainpipes to be seen. Apparently it was
a tradition with Mario - this year he had been the ghost of electricity.
It kind of worried Janice that she actually figured it out before Mario
told her who (or what) he was.
"Well, kind of.... He did record Jet Pilot in '65 and it's a pretty cool
song - early Dylan goes electric, you know? but he didn't release it for
a couple of decades. Anyway it's more of a joke than anything, I think,
but it's pretty brazen for the time, nonetheless. Dylan was doing some
pretty wild stuff at the time - he was pretty much reinventing
rock'n'roll at the time and was on one of the greatest artistic rolls of
the twentieth century. You tend not to think much of Dylan in a sexual
sense, but, at the time, there was that element. All those goofy rumors
about there being a photo of him in drag on the Blonde on Blonde sleeve -
which I think was actually Claudia Cardinale, and all."
Well, she's got Jet Pilot eyes from her hips on down.
All the bombardiers are trying to force her out of town.
She's five feet nine and she carries a monkey wrench.
She weighs more by the foot than she does by the inch.
She got all the downtown boys, all at her command
But you've got to watch her closely 'cause she ain't no woman
She's a man.
Anyway Dylan gets extra points for being prescient, plus I like him. He
did Ballad of a thin man in 65. On the one hand, it's a nasty dig at
someone, whoever Mr. Jones is....., and on another level, its pretty
blatant homosexual imagery - "walk into the room with your pencil in your
hand," "a one-eyed midget," 'give me some milk or else go home," the
sword-swallower (wearing high heels) who says "here's your throat back,
thanks for the loan?" and the geek who "hands you a bone? He may have
been shy about transvestites, but not much else. Anyway, there's also
the line "You have many contacts among the lumberjacks"
"So?"
"Well, I think he beat out Monty Python by at least five years."
Janice was silent.
"Ok, it's a stretch."
8. The Beauty Parlor Is Filled With Sailors
Mario recalled the first girl he had ever made love to. Woman actually.
Mario had been in high school, just a freshman. He spent a lot of time
at the home of Hollis Brown, his best friend. That spring, Hollis' aunt
was visiting from New England. To this day, Mario still wasn't sure of
all the details - who came onto who and when, and why - at the time he
thought she was the aggressor, but SHE certainly disputed that
afterwards. In any event, Mario eventually ended up with her in his own
bedroom while his parents were both working. Jane (or as Mario thought
of her for that wonderful day, Queen Jane, approximately) must have been
around thirty at the time, Mario guessed - she certainly fit the
description of the experienced older woman (at least to a fifteen year
old). Mario thought it all went off very well.
It wasn't until two weeks later, after not having even seen Jane since
that day, that she called. And accused him of seducing her. Of being
like all males, especially undisciplined teenaged males. Said she'd get
back at him, and them, one way or another. Fortunately, she left for back
home a few days later and Mario never heard anything else about it. Not
having seen Hollis for several years now, Mario still wondered what
became of that Thompson woman.
9. And Louise Holds A Handful Of Rain
"The Who... They were always somewhat deranged - the came across a
equipment smashing Mods, but they also did some pretty weird stuff for
back then - Happy Jack, Boris the Spider and Pictures of Lily which was
probably the most blatant song about masturbation of its time. And for
some reason, they cut I'm a Boy in 1966."
One girl was called Jane-Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally-Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy...
My name is Bill and I'm a head-case
They practice making-up on my face
I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend days just takin' hair-pins from my hair
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it!
Put your frock on Jane-Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails little Sally-Joy
Put this wig on, little boy...
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Help me wash up Jane-Marie
You can dry Felicity
Stack the dishes Sally-Joy
Behind those scrub clothes I'm a boy
I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the stream
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy...I'm a boy...
I'm a boy!
"Kind of makes you not want to know much about Pete Townsend's childhood
if you ask me. This one's unique. Pretty much everything else I could
find was "about" someone else, besides this one, in which the narrator is
the victim, and not happy about it. It's really hard for me to even
picture them doing this song. Maybe this is why Keith Moon spent the
last several years of his life running around in dresses looking
like.....well, Keith Moon in a dress.
But unlike Dylan, or anyone else to that point, they were pretty direct
about it."
"Didn't the Stones get caught up in all this?"
"No, not that I can tell. They did do the 45 sleeve of "Have You Seen
Your Mother..." in drag, and Jagger was sort of in drag in Performance,
and in some of the concerts of the late 60's. Oh, and the cover of Some
Girls shows all of them kind of in drag, but musically they didn't really
treat the subject. Unless there's a secret meaning to "What a drag it
is getting old...." Its kind of strange in a way, given all those
appearances in drag, that they never put anything on wax. They did
several overtly gay songs, but that seems to be the extent of it."
10. Look Out Kid, Don't Matter What You Did
05:014 3 Apr
"Lo?"
"Janice, its me"
"Christ, Mario, its five in the morning."
"I just had the most awful nightmare......I really need to talk to you
about it."
"Now? Can't it wait a little while, like, when the sun is up?"
"Oh, ok, I'll be there at 6:30"
"Oh, God...."
06:48 3 Apr
"A Seal-a-Meal?"
07:02 3 Apr
"You went out to dinner with her mother dressed like that? And she
didn't know?"
07:09 3 Apr
"With him? Again?"
07:38 3 Apr
"Mario does this thing EVER end? This dream sounds like the nuttiest
on-going serial I've ever heard. I think you need to take a break for
awhile"
"I know. My life has gotten too weird lately."
11. Five Believers All Dressed Like Men
"Actually the next I found was Van Morrison."
"That's a stretch. I don't think I've understood a single song he's done
since he was with Them. He seems so intent on some mystical vision."
"Yeah, this first one is not real obvious. Madame George 1968, from
Astral Weeks, which is arguably his masterpiece. Apparently, Morrison
has disavowed it as being about a transvestite, at least as far as HE
knows. And there's speculation that the title is a typo and should
actually be Madame Joy. The way he sings it, it's difficult to tell.
Here's an album where Morrison considers love, death, and sex as a form
of spiritual renewal, along with being hopelessly in love with a thirteen
year old girl and realizing you can NEVER do anything about it. Then
right in the middle is this song. So you never know."
Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision leaping into view
Clicking, clacking of the high heeled shoe
Ford & Fitzroy, Madam George
Marching with the soldier boy behind
He's much older with hat on drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
The cool night air like Shalimar
And outside they're making all the stops
The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy taken Madame George
That's when you fall
Whoa, that's when you fall
Yeah, that's when you fall
When you fall into a trance
A sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms and history books you glance
Into the eyes of Madame George
And you think you found the bag
You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
In the corner playing dominoes in drag
The one and only Madame George......
"God knows what its "about" but there is that line "playing dominoes in
drag," plus those references to high heels and perfume which seems kind
of a clothing fetish thing to me. Maybe the dominoes in drag thing is
some weird Irish slang, which Morrison is fond of sneaking into his
songs, but not that I've ever heard.
And the real interesting this, ten years later, he releases an album
which contains a brilliant set of songs which link directly back to
Astral Weeks, and what song is on the other side? Stepping out Queen"
Put on your lipstick
Apply your makeup
Sometimes you're living in a dream
And then you go steppin' out queen
Well you go to a party
And you laugh loud and hearty
You stay all night you know you make the scene
As you go steppin' out queen
It's just a windfall away
It's a love keeps getting stronger every day
You gotta look up and say
It's just a windfall away
It's just a windfall away
It keeps getting stronger every day
You gotta look out and say
It's just a windfall away
Well you go through the drama
And you work in the dharma
Then you stand up and wipe your mirror clean
And then you go steppin' out queen
Come in the garden and just look at the flowers
We can just sit and talk for hours and hours
It's just a windfall away
It's a love it's a love keeps getting stronger every day
I'll come in your garden and then we'll go steppin' out
"Morrison's probably the only person who could include dharma in a song
about a transvestite.
Lola fits in about now- it's the most obvious one of the lot and, sure
its great - it's direct, it portrays the crossdresser in a positive light
and all. If you were gonna criticize it all, I guess you could say the
singer is a bit too naive - you're never really sure he figures it out.
Around this time there was quite a bit of gender related music and
musicians - I skipped over Lou Reed and the VU - they covered the subject
to such a degree that I would have ended up with a study twice as long.
Plus, they just were a little too close to the whole Warhol scene for my
own taste.
The great unknown is Richard Thompson. He takes the theme of Lola and
expands on it - he's unsure about the girl he's after, but hey, who
cares?"
I stepped on the dance floor feeling very cool
Thought I saw an angel sittin' on a stool
I just couldn't tell
Think I'm a fool
If she was a woman or a man
She was the kind of girl a man could crave
>From her high-heeled shoes to her permanent wave
'cept maybe she was needing a shave
Was she a woman or a man?
I asked her to dance and took her by the hand
She held me so tight it was hard for me to stand
Built like a lumberjack
I couldn't understand
If she was a woman or a man
Well I walked her home
It was a quarter past four
My heart was thumping as we ducked in the door
And then when she kissed me I thought I was sure
If she was a woman or a man
Well she stole my wallet and knocked me off my feet
Tied on her rollerskates and made her retreat
All I found was a blond wig lying in the street
Was she a woman or a man?
Well I don't care if she seemed unkind
She stole my heart and robbed me blind
I love her so much I still wouldn't mind
If she was a woman or a man
"Plus, he has a lumberjack reference again. Thompson's the perfect guy
for this. He's been happily obscure for over twenty years, is a guitar
god, made a bunch of neat albums with his wife, was, or is a Sufi, and
has vicious, black, sense of humor. Its kinda late, it appeared on a
mid-80's album, by which time most of the barriers were gone, but it's
just so perfect."
12. I Know Every Scene By Heart, They All Went By So Fast
He had a lunch date with Janice the next day. Mario, following
directions Janice had given him to the place she worked at, arrived
somewhat early. The gallery/resale store was situated in a small mall in
a fashionable neighborhood. Mario wandered around the mall trying to
find the right place. Feeling hopelessly lost, Mario suddenly realized
he was standing under a sign: Pneumonia Ceilings. Here it was. The
gallery itself seemed somewhat incongruous with the other shops nearby,
with its strangely old-fashioned wooden door. A bell attached to the
door jingled as Mario walked in.
It was one of those places that were literally stacked from floor to
ceiling with a little of everything. Mario had to admit, however, that
the mule with jewels and binoculars hanging from its head was a definite
masterpiece.
"Hey Mario, pleased to meet you."
Mario looked around until his eyes located a rather small, wizened old
man with a white beard, wearing a blue robe. "Uh, do I know you?"
"No, no, not at all. Lucky guess. Janice told me you were coming.
Sorry for the clothes. I live upstairs from the gallery and just got
out of the shower." The man shook Mario's hand.
"Janice stepped out for a minute. Why don't you look around? I'm the
first to admit, a lot of this stuff is junk, but there are some real
treasures to be found."
Mario picked up what could best be described as a leopard skin pill box
hat.
"Now there's something unique. Sure beats the usual assortment I get in
here: dolls, cheap rings, bottles and the like. I'm trying to build up
some more repeat clientele - for some reason customers rarely come back
here."
Small wonder, Mario thought. *Maybe it might help if you wore some
clothes.*
Later, during lunch, Mario asked Janice about her boss.
"Well, he is kinda strange, but very nice. The store is really just a
hobby. He's made a small fortune apparently running some web sites.
Something to do with fiction- stories of some kind, I guess, he's
pretty secretive about it - calls it his "other life." But I do know he
runs all those web sites on Timex Sinclairs. Claims they're really
stable, even though they are a bit slow."
13. She steals your voice and leaves you howling at the moon
"Love is so simple."
"To quote a phrase."
"You've known it all along. I'm learning it these days."
"God, you're incredible. Marry me?"
