Flashback: When I Wasn't Gay

Sandra Bernhard put out an album in 1994 called Excuses for Bad Behavior, Pt. 1. I don't remember why I bought this CD since the most of what I really knew of her was from her lesbian kiss on Rosanne. It was my last years of college and I remember not taking to it immediately, but loving every track in the end. A few years later I moved to NY and saw Sandra Bernhard at the Westbeth Theatre and was completely blown away. She has the magic.

Album Highlights
Manic Superstar, Sympathy For The Devil, Phone Sex (Do You Want Me Tonight), 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover

This marks the first entry in a recurring blog focused on recently revisited/rediscovered things from my past, mostly music, that are clear indicators of my inner-queer but from a time when I wasn't out. Oh the things time will tell.

Worst Album Cover Ever

It is Star Wars meets "hey, I just started using Photoshop!" Even if you take away those two elements, what is the thought and decision behind the main photo? Let's say it together, "Gay face". Lastly, am I supposed to connect deeply with the concept of the 'two faces of Blake'? The idea is nothing new and recently overused. There were the two faces of Britney in the video for 'Gimmie, Gimmie' and Kelly Clarkson fighting with label execs over exposing her rough-edge, rock-n-roll side. Now Blake Lewis is letting everyone know.
