I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Personal weird Donna Summer memory.

In the late 70s/early 80s, German TV showed at late night sci-fi movies (War of the Worlds, Soylent Green, THX-1138, THEM!, Colossus, Fahrenheit 451, Dark Star, Barbarella etc.) which featured the intro to "I Feel Love" with sci-fi images.

Oh wow. Sad.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

According to my Bronski Beat "Age of Consent" liner notes, DS made  homophobic remarks.

Luckily I look to singers for enjoyment, not moral guidance or validation.  And thers's few songs as enjoyable as 'I Feel Love'.

If I can enjoy reading Eliot I think I can struggle on with Summers.
