Titled Friend (4/17)

  1. Of course this depends on what you call "gay themed." After all what about the following: 1.Casablanca..Bogie ditches the chick and walks off arm in arm with Louis..."the beginning of a beautiful friendship"? Nudge nudge wink wink. Now you know why there was no sequel! 2. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes...Don't Lemmon and Curtis look just a bit TOO good in drag? 3. The Birth of a Nation...Hell, the reason those southern crackers get up in costumes and run around terrorizing the countryside is so they won't have to confront their sexuality. 4. Citizen Kane...Now exactly why does the Joseph Cotton character stick with Kane despite his repulsion at his methods? Can you say "closet case?" 5. Star Wars...Honey, if your Gaydar isn't beeping every ten seconds I hope its still under warranty.
  2. One of the most unfortunate things about religion today is its almost complete inability to produce music worth listening to. Perhaps there is something worthwhile out there but I've never heard it. There's a treasure house of absolutely gorgeous Christian music in many different genres out there but it was almost all written more than 100 years ago. I'm not even a Christian but I adore this music. I've listened, in an otherwise empty Gothic Oratorio illuminated by only the flicker of candles while my cousin, the organ master, played Bach's Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring, and heard the children's Choir at Notre Dame in Paris sing the Vesper on Christmas eve and there was God in the music. And not just in grand and ancient places but in store front Holiness Church in Washington DC to a picket lines in Selma and a jail cell in Montgomery where people called out to God for deliverance in the rhythms of Africa. And I've had the joy of singing with legendary folk artists like Doc Watson and Mike Seeger the clear, clean melodies that are the Sacred Music of rural white America. That's music worth listening to.
  3. Generally speaking, rights concerning real property must be secured by registration of the appropriate documents at the recorder of deeds office to be effective against a purchaser not party to the original contract. People, of course, rarely register rental contracts and that is, I assume, what you are talking about. I notice you live in Kentucky and a quick check reveals that your state appears to have adopted the Uniform Landlord ands Tenants Act. This contains the following language: 383.600 Limitation of liability. (1) Unless otherwise agreed, a landlord who conveys premises that include a dwelling unit subject to a rental agreement in a good faith sale to a bona fide purchaser is relieved of liability under the rental agreement and KRS 383.505 to 383.715 as to events occurring after written notice to the tenant of the conveyance. So it may be that the original landlord is liable to you under the terms of the contract.
