Praise---BOWIE

[misstia]

i did say we could include entertainment! :) i sometimes have existential crises thinking of a world where david bowie is no longer amongst the living....yes i am very strange....but, aside from that, and my abiding love for his music it was david bowie who made me realize at age 4 that a person's gender or what they wore didn't matter....i'd see him on tv on shows and he'd be performing in a dress and i couldn't figure out if he was a man or woman (of course when i asked my mother female captor, i was only told i was "stupid")....so left to my own devices i eventually figured that it didn't matter what sex he was because i loved his music and if he was a guy, who cares if he's in a dress? so i attribute my open mindedness towards sexual orientation, clothing, etc to him....in jr. high or high school if someone was picked on for being gay or dressing different i would defend them, basically by saying "so fucking what? they're a person just like everyone else".....of course narrow mindedness reigned/-s supreme in hell iowa....but some of us had windows opened up in our mind.....bowie opened mine!

You don't need a stylus but a DS stylus makes it easier to play. But a Monotron or Stylophone is cheaper.
