saw dan bern last night… he’s fantastic – still – always.
his second song was “I do what I have to do to make me feel like a man…” which is a great song. during it, watching him, I realized that I too, am a man…
sounds stupid, I know. I’ve been married for 6 years and have a real job and real responsibilities and nothing has changed in my life much for the last couple of years…. but it was almost a shock to realize that “i am a man”. I would call myself male or a guy or whatever… not a boy; but not a man… I’m not a manly person – i don’t have a lot to prove and my ego is focused on other things most of the time… but… i am a man.
crazy.
makes me think of the “now you are a man… manny-man man” song on Orgazmo…
Of course, I don’t have to worry about being as much of a man as Dan Bern – that isn’t possible. Were I to ever end up gay, it would probably be Dan who turned me. He is such a virile… man.
