A record review, to be precise. A twenty-five year old record review. I'm talking about Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" which was all the rage when I was in grade school in 1974. A friend gave me this tape and I've been listening to it every morning as I drive to work. I haven't thought or listened much to EJ after the age of 12 or so, so it was a pleasant surprise to rediscover what a talented pop craftsman he was (is?) and how sexually radical he was for a lightweight pop star in 1973. Yes, I know Frank Zappa, Cheech and Chong, the Virgin Fugs, and probably many others I've never heard of were more sexually explicit, but they were hardly the teenybopper household names that EJ was. Neither did they get the radio play. And, in a similar vein, although David Bowie was still hot from Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane he tackled sexual issues only in throwaway mentions--the "god-given ass" in "Ziggy Stardust" and the "Suck baby suck, give me your head" in "Cracked Actor." Despite his bisexual space-cadet image (and his earlier dresses) Bowie wasn't as straightforwardly narrative as the still-in-the-closet EJ in 1973. Back to "Yellow Brick Road." The title song of the album is obviously an anthem about a kept boy's disillusionment with the high society folks who keep him, and use him, in every sense of the word. Another song, "All the Young Girls Love Alice" is about a young girl who is preyed upon sexually by older women: "All the young girls love Alice, Alice, sweet Alice, they say. Won't you give me your number, won't you come down and please me, but wait till my husband's away." Then there is "Love Lies Bleeding" which sounds suspiciously like a gay love affair gone bad. I could be wrong about the songs, as there was no lyric sheet with the tape and EJ, though a superb vocalist, is unintelligible at times, so if anyone can shed light on the lyrics or what these songs really mean, please drop me a line so I will know if I'm barking up the wrong tree. I would certainly like to know where he is on the sexual spectrum right now. On to the stories. Minding Mike [A-] When posted: 5/9/97 Where posted: ASS, ASSM Author: Paddy Toutte Address: paddy22@aol.com What do you do when your neighbor has left you alone to watch over her 16-year-old son who's burned his hands in an accident and can't urinate without help? I won't say anymore; read for yourself. No cum-drenched erotic action, but something very sweet, very real, and very true to life. The only thing detracting from the realism is the fact Mom gives her son a milk bottle to pee in. I'd think a bucket would be more appropriate, considering the aim of some men in family bathrooms. Justin (Part One) [B/B-] When posted: 5/6/97 Where posted: ASSG Author: xnarcissus@aol.com The nameless teen narrator of the story invites Justin, the class president, over to his house to watch dirty movies. After being stimulated by the video action, he gives Justin a steamy blowjob. This story is to be continued. The author writes well enough (except for a few mistakes like being incensed--"to make extremely angry" in my dictionary--by his partner's cock; perhaps "aroused" was meant, because he was sucking in lust rather than fury) so what knocked points off this one was inattention to setup and detail. How old were these kids? What did they look like? How long has the narrator been scheming to get Justin where he wants him? Even more puzzling, the story about the seduction of Justin had a byline of being written by Justin. Was this intended as an oblique frame of reference or a third-person autobiographical account? Overall the story felt incomplete even considering it's a first installment, but the sex was good, so I'd like to see more. The Fitness Instructor [D-] When posted: 5/7/97 Where posted: ASSB Author: scepara1@ic3.ithaca.edu Some people ask for it. They really do. This story has the dubious distinction of receiving my first "D-." The narrator of the piece is a brain-dead moron who fantasizes about receiving a butt-rape from his or her personal fitness instructor. I say his or her because the story is so poorly written the gender of the narrator is a blank. The instructor orders the narrator out of bed, makes him or her exercise, then showers, leaving pubic hairs in the drain, and enlivens the next few sessions by scratching her crotch. Guess she has crabs. This story was about as sexy as stepping into a freshly vomited hairball. A sad slur on Ithaca college, one of the most scenically situated educational institutions in upper New York State. First Time Adventure [C-] When posted: 5/15/97 Where posted: ASSM Author: theveryred@aol.com The narrator of this story has always fantasized about having sex with a woman, and finally gets her chance with the 52-year-old wife of an old friend. The story sounded natural and true to life, but was clumsily written and dull, disregarding such grammatical niceties as quotation marks and mixing up present and past tense, as well as ignorant usage of the English language (saying "I am captured by their bodies" when she means "captivated"). Skip this unless you're a die-hard fan of first-time lesbian encounters. Let Me Know if You Like This [B+] When posted: 5/6/97 Where posted: ASSG Author: videos69@aol.com A bisexual college student travels to France as part of his International Studies major. He spends more time looking at the guys than the girls. First he gets a hand job from a good-looking young man on the flight in, then has an erotic encounter with a Scandinavian on the train to the Riviera. This was more of a casual personal memoir than a story, but it was entertaining nonetheless, and written with the goofball, enthusiastic tone of Bill-and-Ted's-Bisexual-Erotic-Adventures-Abroad. The author wants to know if you like this. Do I like this? Oui.
