GRIEF: It's homecoming, and on this day in 1955, a
car crash took James Dean from this mean old world.
Why, I ask? Why him? Why James? I still feel lost; I can't
help it. The emptiness is right above my left aorta.
COPING: I was at happy hour at GROUP, nursing
that James-Dean-emptiness with help from my favorite
GROUP bartendress Kim. She just got it fixed where she
doesn't work Saturday nights, which led us to talking
qbout the Vectors. The Vectors will be playing
Rockafellas' this Saturday night. This group has really
gotten good here lately, extremely good. Come out to see
them and yell and demand they perform their
psychotic/sexual long version of "Gloria," "Cuba" and
better yet, their head-ripping, rap-like version of "War
Pigs." You will not be disappointed.
FORTUNATE ONE: Congratulations to Kathleen
Davis. She won, unanimously, the first annual RenameTodd-Ellis-Before-The-Administration-Does
Contest!
Actually, Kathleen was the only one who entered. Again,
Kathleen wins a six-pack of new Coke and a copy of the
country anthem, "Stand By Your Man" by Tammy
Wynette. Here is what Kathleen wrote: "The readers of
The Gamecock should rename Todd Ellis THE Bod.
Todd THE Bod Ellis is the perfect name for THE quarterback
at THE USC and member of THE Iron Cock
Club." I asked Kathleen if I could arrange a marriage between
her and THE Bod, would she comply? The future
will be interesting on this one folks . . .
FORTUNATE, TOO: Speaking of Todd, I've started
my own screenplay about THE Bod. It's called TODDBO:
The Night He Saved Homecoming, Part 1. It's going
to be a high-spirited adventure/musical where TODD-BO
saves the Homecoming festivities from being foiled by a
group of Five Points Radicals. Todd sings, he dances and
when he throws a pass in this movie, it's literally a
"BOMB." The finale has TODD-BO fending off the
radicals with his rendition of the Nancy Sinatra classic,
"These Boots Were Made for Walking." Oscars are
eminent.
WHO'VE YOU SLEPT WITH?: I stopped in and talked
to Doctor Peter Kilmann again, asking him what rights
a person has in knowing the sexual history of their partner.
Dr. Kilmann said that first of all, it is vital for each
person in the relationship to realize why such information
is important and how it could be helpful. Kilmann said in
the days of sexual disease and crises, such as the AIDS
virus, one's sexual past is a legitimate concern. First of
all, he states there is no need to deal with specifics, that
something along the lines of, "I've had seven sexual relationships
in the past, and I feel that we used proper
precautions" can suffice. Also, Kilmann notes that you
shouldn't lie because that could come back to really haunt
you, and you should keep in mind exactly how much information
your partner can handle because as we know,..

RIGHTEOUS BRUCE: I ended up in Philadelphia
Sept. 19 for the AMNESTY HUMAN RIGHTS TOUR.
All the artists performed up a proverbial storm; the best
was when Springsteen invited "STANG" (Sting) to join
him with a strange version of "The River." Springsteen,
true to his legend, was hell-bent on letting you know that
he was there to rock'n'roll and that he could do it better
than anyone in the business. Bruce was dressed completely
in black leather and even erahhed hie nenie nnrp Hp
later said, "When I was growing up, I got a sense of so
many things from rock'n'roll: life, living, fun, good
times, sex, human possibility. But the thing I got most
was freedom ..." Bruce's divorce sure was showing.
THE CAUSE: Not to forget the cause: Amnesty International
USA, PO Box 37137 HRNP, Washington, DC
20013.
ME: Not to forget me, I'm Chuck Dean. Letters to me
or Kilmann can be sent in care of The Gamecock, Drawer
A, Russell House post office. Take care.
