There's a very funny song from the 70s called "Shoes," about a wedding night where the groom is obviously a raging closet case.
Johnny Marr loves that song. Hmmm...I've long suspected him to be a closet case...hmmm...he could've done the world a lot of good if he'd come out at the height of his fame...but he didn't!

Yes. In that sense, things have improved.
Still a lot of work to be done, though.

Despite appearances to the contrary, I think we're getting there. Slow and steady always wins.

I've never been married. I used to say that I never would, but now I'm more open to the possibility.

I enjoy riding trains. I guess I'm lucky that I've never had a bad experience riding a train.

The early 90s British band Inspiral Carpets were an inspiration to...uh...Oasis. Right, I'll get my coat and leave.

Aladdin is way up there on my list, but Beauty and the Beast is in my top spot.

I'll need to rank mine. I think I'd put Aladdin and Mulan as my top 2. Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid and Hercules probably round out my top 5.

The Little Mermaid is a Disney milestone that started off one of their most consistently great runs of animated films.

An exciting time, to be sure!
It was also right around then that Warner Brothers released a lot of its Pre-1948 Golden Age Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies on home video for the first time.

And then, of course, there's the old saying, "The Golden Age of comics is when you were 12 years old."
That doesn't quite apply to me, though.
I've had two Golden Ages. The first was from when I was 7 through 9, and I could look forward every week to a new issue of Don Miki, a 100-page digest (later 80 pages) which reprinted Italian Disney stories (translated into Spanish, of course.) Compared to the usual Disney comics with stories from America, Denmark, Holland, and Brazil (and the occasional Italian one,) this was a world of difference in every way! The second was from ages 18 to 20, when I first got into superheroes. That was the much-reviled early 90s, but I'll go to my grave defending the superhero comics from those years.
