Kelly Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 yayness *tells Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper not to take the plane--I'll fix the heater in the bus* So, uhm, the music didn't really die, no? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Some of the musicians died (sadly, too many, too young, over the years), but the music lives on. :) The classic rock radio station I listen to replays Kasey Kasem's America's Top 40 (I think it's 40). I have it on right now and haven't caught which year they're doing, but there's been ELO, Elvis doing "I Did it My Way", and Billy Joel, since I turned it on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Way cool. The Day the Music Died happened two weeks before I was born (I am so young). So, let us listen to some more budding Rock music. Here is Les Paul & Mary Ford in 1951: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng8a5Df2V50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Reel to reel tape player! You know, you can hear both the budding rock and roll and the ties to WWII-era popular music in that. Interesting. Yes, it's America's Top 40. Originally aired early January 1978. They just played Crystal Gayle's Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue* and now they're playing Queen's We Are The Champions. Now Styx. * I had such a crush on her with her long hair and her voice in that song still gives me shivers (in a good way). :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Long Time Ago Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Back from visiting family for Christmas and New Years. Came out as a transwoman to my parents and my brother, which went fairly well, though explaining it was very difficult and it just didn't compute very well for my dad (based on our conversations, it would appear that he is almost genderless and gender-blind, which obviously makes understanding gender issues very difficult). All three of them accepted it though. Had a conversation accidentally turn on to the subject of pronouns and trans people with my cousin and aunt and based on what they said and the experiences they have had with transgendered people, I know that they will be accepting when I eventually decide to come out to them.

Professor T. Pollution Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I was born on February 22nd, the same birthday as Edward Gorey plus a couple of serial killers and Presidents, and the day scientists announced that Dolly the sheep had been successfully cloned.

A Long Time Ago Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Wow. Congrats to AIH! And to her family for being so good about it. *celebrates* This is a major step. Thank you Kelly. The weirdest reaction was from my brother. While he didn't understand it, when I was talking about my plans, he put himself in my shoes and said that if he felt what I did, then he would transition and live as a woman for sure. At first, I thought that maybe he didn't understand the difficulties, hardships, and dangers but when I explained them to him, he said that he would rather take those than live as something he is not and that he would simply give the finger to anyone who didn't approve even if it meant they would kill him. So, I guess I definitely have one person strongly behind me if I should ever decide to transition (not sure if that is the appropriate path for me or not). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I'm glad it sounds like your cousin and aunt would support you in whatever you decide to do as well. Your brother has really got your back, you're lucky to have a sibling like that!

Luck sure helps. My mother is supportive of any path I take but my dad while accepting of my gender identity (as much as he understands it) thinks that any physical transitioning (hormones and/or surgery) would be a horrible idea because he avoids operations like the plague (he almost died from one) and because hormone replacement therapy is almost surely why my aunt (his sister) got breast cancer.
