I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Obviously no takers at the moment, but he is a child of our times.

is it Gore Vidal?



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Now that is interesting. I had hiom pegged for Jonathan Miller but didn;t think he was gay. I am certain Robert Winstone is not gay. SO that leaves Michael Tippet.

I suppose you never see Miller and Tippet in the same room?

But I can;t find any details of Tippet's sexuality

It is Sir Michael Tippett. The following quote was googled:
"…The Times obituary of Sir Michael Tippett insultingly dismissed him as unmarried, ignoring his 30-year openly gay relationship with Meirion Bowen. Given that much of the media readily depicts gay men as universally promiscuous, this failure to acknowledge a loving, enduring homosexual relationship was deeply offensive.…"

Congratulations

I never liked his work. I found his music..... unusual. There is a huge amount if information about him here: http://www.michael-tippett.com/

There was a TV documentary about him here a year of so ago, and he came over as rather a precious childlike man. But he found his forte. Regrettably it seems not to have been the pianoforte he played during the documentary.
