I am a typical Louie Louie Generation lad. That means in dog years I am dead. I am young at heart, but somewhat older in other places. In short, some of the butter has slipped off my pancakes. And I guess I must be living proof that evolution can go backwards... because when I saw a comment from Broadway star Lea DeLaria in this week's New York Magazine I immediately stopped stirring my coffee with my car keys, I quickly put the coffee cup down on the table next to my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair, and I stood up so fast that I felt weightless for a moment... and said something that sounded like Gezorninplatz. The comment was, and I quote, "Gender is so passe." Folks...no it's not. At least not for me.
