I liked AL when he was on AI and fully expected to buy his CD, but I just don't like the songs I've heard so far, so I'm saving my money for Clay.
While I agreed with AL that there shouldn't be a double standard as far as what is acceptable for heterosexuals and gay on TV, I'm not sure that using vulgarity as a test is where I'd be putting my energy if I were gay--I think I'd focus on marriage, the military, hate crimes, etc. HIs push for equality just didn't impress me enough for me to run out and buy his album to show solidarity.
Just me.
