Some people cheekily claim that Shang from Disney's Mulan is bi, as he seemed to have started getting feelings for Mulan when she was disguised as a man.

It's such a commonly used story, it was even used in the comedy Blackadder, where he falls for "Bob, his clearly female servant.

Just last week I heard an episode of Cadfael that also used it.

Clearly, any woman dressed as a man was doomed to be a victim of a romantic subplot.

Men dressed as women, too. (remembers White Chicks).

I wonder how many cross-dressers got their first funny feelings from those movies..

I was reminded of the reveal of Roger Taylor as a schoolgirl in Queen's I want to break free video. I had to search for which one of them it was. So I've just learned that MTV banned it because of the crossdressing. The song was' 84 and the ban lasted until '91. That's a lot of years it was run without a brain cell.

Wow! With all the stuff on MTV, I can't believe *that* earned a ban!

I wonder if the ban extended to MTV Europe.

I've been so much happier since moving to Europe. Sure, there are still people with bigoted views here, but the proportion I encounter is much fewer than when I was still back in the Philippines.

Yeah, uh! Get up, now!
Ow! Knock out this!

Super highways, coast to coast
Easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload
Just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel

When there's no destination that's too far
And somewhere on the way
You might find out who you are

Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America
Got to have a celebration
Rock my soul


Smokestack, fatback
Many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin' through
Your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake, hey
On black coffee and a hard roll

You might have to walk the fine line
You might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime

Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America
Got to have a celebration

I live in America, help me out
But I live in America
Wait a minute

You might not be looking for the promised land
But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans)
Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas)
Pittsburgh P.A. (Pittsburgh P.A.)
New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City)
Atlanta (Atlanta)
Chicago and L.A.

Living in America - hit me
Living in America - yeah
I walk in and out
Living in America

I live in America - state lines
Gonna make the prime, that
I live in America - hey
I know what it means, I

Living in America
Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
Living in America
Hit me, I said now
Eye to eye, Station to station
Living in America
So nice, with your bad self
Living in America - I feel good!

James Brown's "Living In America" was written and produced by Dan "Instant Replay" Hartman.

Once again I find myself coming across a song that I heard in my childhood; it's tantalizingly familiar but I never learned the song name or the singer.

I yelled SHAZAM earlier today, and instead of being struck by lightning I was struck by strange looks.

Not Strange Looks! That insidious villain power that causes a hero to feel self conscious in their spandex! That's what led to that hero trend of wearing Jackets. Animal Man, The Avengers, Starman...

I thought James Robinson and his version Starman were to blame for that.
