Post details: Joe Perry from Aerosmith Eats Pudding?01/14/06Joe Perry from Aerosmith Eats Pudding?
Does Joe Perry Eat Pudding? That was a growing question evidently now that he has recently been seen with a cowboy hat. Evidently not, according to news in which after finding out about rumors of him trying out the new chic gay cowboy thing, he has ditched the hat. Qu? Lastima. I guess after taking over the color purple (not the movie), the triangle, rainbows, the steel industry, it has come now that if you wear a cowboy hat, you must be gay, kind of sad considering a couple of months ago, the cowboy hat was a symbol of heterosexuals. Personally I think there shouldn't be a connotation for wearing a hat. However this brings back an e-mail I got in undergraduate from a campus group which stated that if you wore blue jeans on a specific day that you would be supporting gay rights and if you didn't, you were basically a homophobe. The whole for or against attitude seems to be as prevalent as it has been, but I guess it is hard to see shades of grey. Thanks for the post Vern. -Trevor Filed Under: News @ 7:29 pm by Hemeac Trackback address for this post:http://hemeac.com/htsrv/trackback.php/377

This comment has more to do with the review of Brokeback Mountain than wearing cowboy hats. I agree with what you said about people making too big a deal over a gay cowboy movie, but I disagree that the movie's sole purpose is a political message. One of the central purposes is to tell the story of a love. And the movie is good. The movie has flaws, "episodic" is the best word to describe it. The movie covers a lot of years and a lot is skipped and not fully developed. But I thought the acting (for the most part) and story were good.

Trev, I would agree that it is simply unacceptable for their to be some sort of social bias in cases of not-so-apparent symbolism. The fact that the cowboy hat appears to have evolved into a subversive sexual preference statement is pathetic beyond words. I guess the political divide in this country is beyond all repair. Perhaps our generation, unlike that of our parents', will be more receptive to third parties. And not just third parties in politics, I mean a third party as an "alternative" way to look at things.
Spacemonkey, my thoughts is that out of all potential storylines, they chose one that was intended to be controversial, that is not to say that the story in itself is not good, but rather choosing a topic that is known to cause a stir, and I am merely claiming there are a lot of unintended consequences when someone goes off in this direction. Before I go any farther in this conversation, I will give this movie the benefit of the doubt that it may have been put together well, so I will wait to comment until I actually see the movie.
