Subject: The Annex Reviews 5/18/97
X-Is-Review: yes

This month I'm going to start things with a different kind of 
review. A record review, to be precise. A twenty-five year old 
record review. I'm talking about Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow 
Brick Road" which was all the rage when I was in grade school in 
1974.

A friend gave me this tape and I've been listening to it every 
morning as I drive to work. I haven't thought or listened much to 
EJ after the age of 12 or so, so it was a pleasant surprise to 
rediscover what a talented pop craftsman he was (is?) and how 
sexually radical he was for a lightweight pop star in 1973. Yes, I 
know Frank Zappa, Cheech and Chong, the Virgin Fugs, and 
probably many others I've never heard of were more sexually 
explicit, but they were hardly the teenybopper household names 
that EJ was. Neither did they get the radio play. And, in a similar 
vein, although David Bowie was still hot from Ziggy Stardust and 
Aladdin Sane he tackled sexual issues only in throwaway 
mentions--the "god-given ass" in "Ziggy Stardust" and the "Suck 
baby suck, give me your head" in "Cracked Actor." Despite his 
bisexual space-cadet image (and his earlier dresses) Bowie wasn't 
as straightforwardly narrative as the still-in-the-closet EJ in 1973.

Back to "Yellow Brick Road." The title song of the album is 
obviously an anthem about a kept boy's disillusionment with the 
high society folks who keep him, and use him, in every sense of 
the word. Another song, "All the Young Girls Love Alice" is about 
a young girl who is preyed upon sexually by older women: "All 
the young girls love Alice, Alice, sweet Alice, they say. Won't you 
give me your number, won't you come down and please me, but 
wait till my husband's away." Then there is "Love Lies Bleeding" 
which sounds suspiciously like a gay love affair gone bad. I could 
be wrong about the songs, as there was no lyric sheet with the 
tape and EJ, though a superb vocalist, is unintelligible at times, so 
if anyone can shed light on the lyrics or what these songs really 
mean, please drop me a line so I will know if I'm barking up the 
wrong tree. I would certainly like to know where he is on the 
sexual spectrum right now.


On to the stories.

What do you do when your neighbor has left you alone to watch 
over her 16-year-old son who's burned his hands in an accident 
and can't urinate without help? I won't say anymore; read for 
yourself. No cum-drenched erotic action, but something very 
sweet, very real, and very true to life. The only thing detracting 
from the realism is the fact Mom gives her son a milk bottle to 
pee in. I'd think a bucket would be more appropriate, considering 
the aim of some men in family bathrooms.


Justin (Part One) [B/B-]
When posted: 5/6/97

Author: xnarcissus@aol.com

The nameless teen narrator of the story invites Justin, the class 
president, over to his house to watch dirty movies. After being 
stimulated by the video action, he gives Justin a steamy blowjob. 
This story is to be continued.

The author writes well enough (except for a few mistakes like 
being incensed--"to make extremely angry" in my dictionary--by 
his partner's cock; perhaps "aroused" was meant, because he was 
sucking in lust rather than fury) so what knocked points off this 
one was inattention to setup and detail. How old were these kids? 
What did they look like? How long has the narrator been 
scheming to get Justin where he wants him? Even more puzzling, 
the story about the seduction of Justin had a byline of being 
written by Justin. Was this intended as an oblique frame of 
reference or a third-person autobiographical account? Overall 
the story felt incomplete even considering it's a first installment, 
but the sex was good, so I'd like to see more.


The Fitness Instructor [D-]

Author: scepara1@ic3.ithaca.edu

Some people ask for it. They really do. This story has the dubious 
distinction of receiving my first "D-." The narrator of the piece is 
a brain-dead moron who fantasizes about receiving a butt-rape 
from his or her personal fitness instructor. I say his or her 
because the story is so poorly written the gender of the narrator 
is a blank. The instructor orders the narrator out of bed, makes 
him or her exercise, then showers, leaving pubic hairs in the 
drain, and enlivens the next few sessions by scratching her 
crotch. Guess she has crabs. This story was about as sexy as 
stepping into a freshly vomited hairball. A sad slur on Ithaca 
college, one of the most scenically situated educational 
institutions in upper New York State.


First Time Adventure [C-]
When posted: 5/15/97

Author: theveryred@aol.com

The narrator of this story has always fantasized about having sex 
with a woman, and finally gets her chance with the 52-year-old 
wife of an old friend. The story sounded natural and true to life, 
but was clumsily written and dull, disregarding such grammatical 
niceties as quotation marks and mixing up present and past tense, 
as well as ignorant usage of the English language (saying "I am 
captured by their bodies" when she means "captivated"). Skip this 
unless you're a die-hard fan of first-time lesbian encounters.


Let Me Know if You Like This [B+]
When posted: 5/6/97

Author: videos69@aol.com 

A bisexual college student travels to France as part of his 
International Studies major. He spends more time looking at the 
guys than the girls. First he gets a hand job from a good-looking 
young man on the flight in, then has an erotic encounter with a 
Scandinavian on the train to the Riviera. This was more of a 
casual personal memoir than a story, but it was entertaining 
nonetheless, and written with the goofball, enthusiastic tone of 
Bill-and-Ted's-Bisexual-Erotic-Adventures-Abroad. The author 
wants to know if you like this. 

Do I like this? Oui.
