Weird. Just watched a taped "American Masters" on Aretha Franklin which left me feeling quite coldly about the lady. In no doubt about her extreme talent, but put off about the woman. And from living in Detroit I already had a hint of the crazy.
I'm remembering her distancing herself from George Michael--was that about his homosexuality or his legal troubles?
So I'm reading up ahead of time on Marvin Gaye. Now, I already know he was an addict and a woman-beater, but shit. What an unhealthy prick.
At least the Zora Neale Hurston one was about a woman you'd actually want to spend time with.
I'm excited to see Jesse Martin play Gaye in a movie, though.
(Of course, I've already seen him play gay in a movie...)
Didja know Marvin's last name
was
Gay,
but he added the "e" because his dad's crossdressing already made him over-sensitive?
I think Jesse Martin will do a very pretty job. But I wonder if they'll go as dark as my quick googling indicates. Hell, I wonder if they'll go as far as his own crossdressing...
Anybody watching Brothers and Sisters? Did anything significant happen in the last few minutes, after
Kevin told Sarah what he remembered about the picture
? DC's ABC station lost signal right as
Kevin was trying to remember the woman's name
.
Hil, yes. Rebecca and Justin met up and she confessed that she didn't want to start from the beginning and that he was always the person she wanted to talk to about things. then they kissed.
Checking the Buffista map, I finally realized that Tamara was in LA. How did I not know this? Clearly I am oblivious.
no problem. that was my first attempt at using the new html for spoilerfont. i'm gonna have to keep reminding myself to use it.
