Now I'm a weirdo single ex-jehovah dude. Damaged goods, if ever there was. But, I feel like Fredhall lately:
since a lot of girls and women smiles and talks to me gives me the impression that I God's gift to them
LOLOLOLOL!!
Xander, there was a guy who I was in a congo with some years back, who was (and I don't mean this offensively, I don't know how else to describe it) as flamingly gay as you could possibly imagine. He was the quintessential effeminate male. Anyways, nobody says anything about it, it was all hush-hush, but come on, everybody knew. He got married at 19 (she was a HOTTIE but a total J-Dumb). 2 years later, he's divorced, df'd, and out of the closet, learning cosmetology at a local junior college. Plenty of closet gays in the borg, for sure. Pretty sad.

Engines of Creation was the Satch techno CD. It was a bit of an uneven effort, but there's some great stuff on there. The 2nd track is awesome. He has a newer one than that, it just came out. It is called "Strange Beautiful Music". I like it pretty well.
ashitaka, the Satch album you refer to is definitely one of his best. He put one out about 3 years after that called "Crystal Planet". I (and many other Satch diehards) feel that it was his crowning achievement, a rock guitar masterpiece.
