I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

but heres my take, and it applies to all the loud mouth LOOK AT ME's we see nowadays (gays, black/brown pride, feminists, religious zealotry somewhat too):
In the US....since its inception, anything out of the norm was frequently scorned, and those practicing were ridiculed and worse. badly. gay-ness has long been VERY shunned, etc...
NOW...from say 90s on...things are more acceptable, ya know?
So...all these people...who either WERE or FELT "oppressed" now see this sort of freeforall where it is now...encouraged to "celebrate" differences.
so, women yell about their accomplishments, gays make lots of noise, and you see tons of folks with "black power" shirts etc...
NOT that the prejudices have disappeared, but it is a LOT easier now to make noise about your specific orientation...
sadly, though...the way I see it, the actual effect is almost diametrically opposed to the desired effect. Women look kinda ludicrous spouting off about women (who want to be part of "a mans world"), "colored" people look a bit separatist or even racist with their "XXX power" cried, and, well...the gay world just looks comical if one is going to take the public figures as representative.
I feel like in a fairly short time it will all kinda iron out, and HOPEFULLY at some point it wont matter so much what you "are" and folks will just be viewed on their merits and wont feel the need to draw so much attention.

If somebody wants to make good music, or play good music, or put forward some kind of cool artistic expression, and others want to support and respect that, why not?
I think it's abit of a shame that more folks don't interview each other and publish that stuff. It's really hard to get people to be just forthcoming in a profile. Better to interview, and then publish that. Thoughts?
