After talking to my wife, I have decided not to delete Frank Ocean from the Ipad/Ipod

When I first read about his homosexual relationship, I was disgusted and pissed off feeling like this cocksucker deliberately deceived his listening public.My thought process immediately turned to gender of his songs subject. Was the target of his affections man or woman?

I was ready to hit that delete button when my wife asked me a poignant question, "Before you discovered he was gay, when u listened to his songs did you picture the subject being a man or woman." I replied, "a woman". Then she replied "so what's the problem."

At that point I realized that music is supposed to be an introspective representation of not only the artist but also the listener. Music has different interpretations to different people. Frank may have wrote his music to represent his homosexual experiences, but the way his listening audience perceives those songs depends upon that person and their experiences.

Based upon this conversation I realized that although i will never ever agree with his homosexual lifestyle, at the same time I can enjoy this music, regardless of the inspiration for it's creation.

It is a fine line to walk brehs
