We have all heard of blue balls, but Walter's would have been black if he lost his hands. He may have had to resort to using his feet.

Solomon = bisexual threesomes. Who would ever have thought it possible. As if his hypocrisy was not enough, his church's pastor was ravenous for cock, the more the better. Oh how the mighty "fell" and were clearly a lot happier for it, with the possible exception. His submission to Gladys did not always seem to please him.

I remember the album was very successful @Mark Ponyboy Peters. I can vaguely remember seeing them at the State Theatre in 1973 or 1974 in Jesus Christ Superstar (I would have been 10). They were both exceptional. Not long after that their "pop" careers began and we both know how successful that was for both of them.

Very underrated and under appreciated I think. A fine actor too, much like Marcia. I do like quite a few of his singles, but I have to say my favourite is Six Ribbons, just beautiful and his singing was exquisite. Just listening to it brings tears to the eyes (AGAIN). I do like some of TMG's songs, their remake of Darktown Strutter's Ball would be my favourite.

How wonderful @Bft, a relationship I dare say many, regardless of their sexuality, would "envy", or at least admire.

It seems Tony is extending the same invitation to 'the gang' as Annie in this song @Al Norris regarding his "role" in the heartbreak Aaron has suffered in the last five years. I seem to recall you made very favourable comments on Annie at one time, and this song showcases her stunning vocal power and range.

And what about these classics from the 1980's @Mark Ponyboy Peters, amongst @Summerabbacat's all-time favourite singles by Aussie artists: And this hauntingly beautiful, poignant classic from Matt Finish, which makes me sob because of Matt Moffitt's life cut short by a stroke at age 46.

At the moment it appears he is something in between. I think the fact he is so very fond of Toby and that the feeling is mutual, makes him somewhat more than a FWB @pvtguy, but is he part of a throuple? Maybe he is and it has just not been stated by the three of them either jointly or separately.

Mmmm. That certainly would not be good for Toby, or for Brian and Gordon.

I sense Tyler is going to play a bigger part in this story now @Lee Wilson. I must say I have "cooled" towards Anthony, the violence he and his Uncle and cousins displayed, although "understandable", troubles me, primarily because it seems, to them, it was like water off a duck's back. Fear of one's partner is not healthy, and I am not convinced yet that Pete does not have some residual fear of Anthony remaining. If Pete does add some more "rock chick" songs to The Swarm's repertoire, besides Pat Benatar and Joan Jett, perhaps he could add a gem or two by Heart, although trying to match or even part match Ann Wilson's titanic lung power is a big ask.

Fuck, his name was Logerman, not Bogerman. Loudmouth Logerman it will have to be then.

Unfortunately, I think you are spot on with this assessment @Cane23. I wonder if he will ever get any positive affirmations and improve his self-image?

I thought Bart was too generous with belligerent Bogerman. It was his own fault he missed the wake up calls. One night free accommodation perhaps, but three nights. No way. What a great way to express this @centexhairysub. Daddy dearest does not deserve a moments thought from Bart.

I too could not eat this for breakfast @weinerdog, double yuck. The only thing worse is bacon and eggs. If I even smell that combination cooking I dry retch and have to close all my apartment doors. I cannot stomach anything which smells like or has eggs in it that I can taste e.g. a frittata, but then I don't even like anything vegetarian cooked for breakfast. As I age I find I am becoming more "emotionally challenged" even thinking of eating animals, or seeing anything that resembles what they were before being butchered, and I really don't like sitting at a table where people are consuming them. As for Easter and Christmas when mass-murder occurs, I find it very upsetting and become enraged at times. I too have to wonder about Lucas and whether he genuinely dislikes African Americans. One would be entitled to think so given his free use of the N word, but was it said with any degree of hatred or is he just too lazy to say African American. All my fellow readers think the shit is about to hit the fan, a storm is brewing. I must say I have to agree.

🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆 Way to go James and Jonah. Get it on, bang a gong. Yippee. Great chapter @ChromedOutCortex.

And remember Cheetah, the Hammond sisters. And what about The Ferrets, Ol' 55, Flash & The Pan, Do Re Mi, Real Life and I'm Talking.

And where was the early punk classic by The Saints?

Anything by The Enz , I Got You, deservedly massive and its parent album, True Colours, deservedly massive. Billy Field, now what an interesting oddity he was at the time. Bad Habits and its follow up, You Weren't In Love With Me, deservedly huge hits in @Summerabbacat's eyes. But whatever happened to him? He disappeared as quickly as he arrived. I just Googled him and learned he was from Wagga Wagga. And no JPY or Marcia @Mark Ponyboy Peters. The bulk of the songs were from 1994 onwards it seemed, which probably explains why I did not like many of them. JPY's first foray into "disco" and still my favourite of all his great songs. The lyrics are atrocious and the video strangely amusing.

Clearly Miss Tim's buttplug needs a fresh application of Crisco because she sure is one uptight bitch. As much as I feel deeply sorry for Aaron, Tony behaved in a perfectly rational manner. He had every reason to believe Aaron no longer wanted to stay in touch and had no knowledge of Aaron's parents doing a runner, which in hindsight may not have been such a bad thing, except for Aaron's younger brother. Aaron's life turned to shit, and whilst I don't think he brought even some of it on himself, well not intentionally anyway, he did not help himself. Methinks he was ill-equipped to help himself, and I strongly suspect felt he did not deserve to be helped or to be happy. I am not at all surprised it was Justin who helped him the most, being somewhat of a kindred spirit. Whilst this chapter was profoundly sad @Mark Ponyboy Peters (more bloody tears), it offered some hope I think, hope that the Tony/Aaron relationship may be salvageable.

I forgot to mention Under The Milky Way by The Church as being another song I liked, in fact, I think its a great song. I Touch Myself by the Divinyls was OK, but nowhere near as good as what Chrissy and Mark wrote themselves. What a loss when Chrissy died. She played Judy Garland in The Boy From OZ and she was "frighteningly" good.

"His Dad was going to ring his Mum, which wouldn’t go well. But Toby had sent her an email, just to send her news and some photos. His Dad said he ought to be regular, so he was trying." Send her a bowel sample once a month as evidence of his being "regular". Place it in a sterile plastic bag, and then post it in a padded envelope. In Australia when one reaches the age of 50 every 2, or it might be every 3 years, one receives a bowel testing kit to return a sample to test for bowel cancer. You might think, gross, but it saved the life of one of my friends. She reported a positive sample and was advised to have a colonoscopy immediately and she had early stage bowel cancer. After treatment, cancer free. Deirdre surprised me, pleasantly so, that she listened to Brian for once and placed importance on the needs of her son. Her comment to Brian does suggest she is perhaps taking off her rose-coloured glasses and seeing Jasper for what he truly is. I assume he and his brother-in-law are dealing in cheap, fake "label name" goods, probably made in factories by exploited workers or children, thus encouraging this industry to continue. Purchaser's may or may not know they are being duped, or may not care. The world is full of scum like Jasper. Brian and Gordon seem to be enjoying a "Russ sandwich" on a more frequent basis now. After their nuptials perhaps they should "settle" on making this a semi-regular or even regular occurrence. I do think they should make an effort not to "hide" it from Toby all the time though. He is a smart boy, and his adoration of Mr Russ would I think have him understanding that their three-way relationship, although unconventional, works well for the three of them. Another more than satisfactory chapter. @Gary L, the master of the understatement. The quality of your various works wavers little @Robert Hugill, this story a fine demonstration of just that. Top of the class again.

Hopefully he will not get Lost In France, blinded by a Total Eclipse Of Heart, drown in Bette Davis Eyes or become a victim of the Voyeur.

Me too, except for classical, most rap and most heavy metal.

I think he might have listened to quite a few of those Triple J "favourites" albums. It was definitely very macho-rock centric list too, with very few songs by women. I suspect most of the songs were hits in the USA. And nothing by The Seekers who were popular in the 1960's, even had a few hits in the USA, but then I guess they were way too "folky".

The vigilanteism did disturb me, but then I thought of the horrible things humans do to cats and dogs and such violence against those people would not disturb me at all. Pete's worried about his singing voice. Perhaps he will have a voice now like Marianne Faithfull, Bonnie Tyler or Kim Carnes (whom I adore). He can add some of Marianne's classic post-heroin addiction material like this gem to the band's repertoire. I do like much of her material from the 1980's. I am not sure about Pete in the skirt though.
