"We'd hit this 'Lara Croft' moment where basically none of the keys work and every door is f---ing locked!" --Geoff Barrow
Barrow recounted Portishead's state of mind after releasing its second album in 1997. With their forthcoming album, 'Third,' he insists that those creative doors now feel "all open" again.- Filed under: Potent Quotables

Dear Friends;
You honestly think this guy is asking for all the bull that people go through that declare themselve's gay. I had a best friend that killed herself because she was born in the wrong body and tried to let masecheset create a penis for her. Do you think she was just doing it for attention or she was born that way and sometime's God simply makes these creation's to teach us humility? Sincerely;MichaelMaxWayne

michael wayne, please read this. no body was doing anything for attention. there is no such thing as being born gay. your friend was seriously disturbed about other things in her life, probably her parents, so the gay thing was a distraction. i have been there. they are not upset about being gay. gayness is not only acceptable but very cool these days. your friends don;t tell you everything.

Yes Kim, it's cool to be gay. It's cool to have your family reject you. It's cool to have your friends turn on you. It's cool to be shunned in everyday life by people you don't even know. It's cool to be beaten by people who hate one small difference. It's cool to have your civil liberties stripped. Homosexuals choose to leave happy lives to pretend to be something they're not so they can be hated by everyone. Because hey, there's no other way to get attention than to pretend to be in love with someone you're not supposed to, right?

Oh, it's WONDERFUL, Kim! Living in fear, having people hate you. Hell, I've known women to be RAPED because they kissed another woman in public. People DIE nowadays because of sexual orientation.
Tell me, don't you think the life a gay/lesbian leads is just such a pretty thing?
And by the way, yes, I'm bisexual and have a girlfriend and I'M PROUD. I can HONESTLY say I love her with all my heart and soul. More than any "Christian Man" can say he loves "God". Because we all know that's just fake.
And you know what, Kim? THINK BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING NEXT TIME.
And Micheal, I am very sorry about your friend. At least now, they are at peace, or in a new life... Hopefully one not tortured.

Love Portishead! looking forward to their new effort after such a long hiatus...Perhaps Beth Gibbons will be a little less glum this time around? still dig her (issues and all)! along with the boys' jazzy, trip-hop/opium-smooth vibe. just say no to the alternative emptiness of the perpetually labotomized and brainless. =)
