Wayne Brady has come out as being pansexual. To be honest I had to look up the full definition of that word because I had a vague idea of it’s meaning; someone who can go either way. When I looked it up I was partially right. It is someone who is sexually or romantically attracted to someone regardless of their sex or gender.

Now I’ve always thought that Wayne could be on my side of the fence and if not he was straddling it. He says in his past there were times he’s been attracted to men but didn’t date them. Listen to those words didn’t date, does that mean that maybe he just had sex with them in secret? I know I’m reading between the lines here but he’s fifty-one years old, twice divorced (wonder why), is in showbusiness where he’s surrounded by queers and he’s never had the urge to suck a dick?

Why is he sharing this to the public now? Was it even necessary? Maybe someone threatened to out him and he thought he’d get ahead of the threat by choosing to say he’s pansexual so he won’t alienate his female fans. I’ve got news for you Wayne, NO ONE CARES. Do you and if you make up your mind what you are eventually go ahead and enjoy it to the fullest.

Tony Bennett 1926-2023

We lost Tony Bennett today and probably the end of an era of singers of his caliber. He was ninety-six years old, thirteen days short of his next birthday. I assume he was relieved to go because he had Alzheimer’s and that illness is no joke. Imagine not being able to remember things or express yourself. It was said that even in his later years with this disease he’d perform a show and get off stage and forget what just happened.

He won twenty Grammy awards and two Emmys among his accomplishments. I have his CD somewhere. I love his collaborations with Amy Winehouse and Lady GaGa. I’ve always loved his straightforward delivery of songs with an undercurrent of their true meaning infused in the lyrics.

I’ve been playing him all day while in my car, at the gym on my cell, and at home. His music and voice are playing in the background as I write. It is relaxing and inspiring me. RIP Tony.
