UPDATE: Andrew Necci of the Richmond-based RVA Magazine has done quite a bit of research, and has come to the conclusion that the guy identified as Stewart in the photo is probably Alford Faulkner of the band Red Cross.
And that's how this particular guy identified sexually: "I want to be on top of my wife".
I'm a Lana Del Rey guy, identifying with her main talent as a writer, her artistic juxtaposition of external decadence with internal panic, and her brilliant understanding that being a modern poet requires more public presence than just a pen.
In How To Start Your Own Country, he attempts to find a dominion for himself by tracking down all kinds of nutnuts (one guy identifies some disputed territory in Spain and France, and suggests the purchase of a nuclear weapon, followed by taking the land hostage) and pursuing their thoughts ad absurdum.
Then along comes a guy who identifies himself as "sort of a reporter".
When I approached a guy who identifies himself as the Apple Man and was working across the intersection from Drew this past Mother's Day, before I could even finish asking him what circumstances have brought him to this point, he blurted out: "Addiction!" He's called the Apple Man because he smokes his weed out of cored apples.
Regarding race, and many other of our deepest and most intractable problems (e.g., addiction, depression, and domestic violence), getting the bad guys, identifying and eliminating a few bad apples, is wholly insufficient.
Rarely will these guys identify themselves as bisexual.
Not all trans guys identify with the lesbian community or with their roots in female culture, but I treasure that aspect of my journey.
They are buying a sense of connection with other fans of the music, and with Bono (a guy who is identified with compassion, not just as an impressive rocker).
