Rob Halford is back in Judas Priest... plan to spin the earth backwards until it's 1984 again still "iffy"

Judas Priest were always my favorite Metal band. Unlike Motley Crue or any of the fluffier, sillier metal bands, they actually understood 'Heavy Metal' as a style of pop music unto itself, with a very clearly defined attitude and sound, not just a ritalin-deprived blues spin-off. Sure, they got silly and sang about robots and shit, but when they weren't doing that, they had good tunes about... actually, I think it was all about robots and shit.

One very good thing about Judas Priest is they didn't do any of those horrible faggy metal ballads. I'd go on to point out the irony of Rob actually being the metal guy who turned out to be gay, but I've never really put 'faggy' and 'gay' necessarily in the same boat. If you ask me, it takes something almost disturbingly manly to opt for your affection to come from up the exit ramp. Like, when Richard Harris did that indian manhood ritual in "A Man Called Horse" where he pin wheels around in a cave suspended from hooks in his skin... I put anal sex around there on the man chart. Looks like a very similar activity to me. I have a hard time calling that 'faggy'. I could see, like, Ernest Hemingway fucking some guy in the ass, just because he's tired of trying to figure out the proper amount for a tip. It seems like a sorta rough and tumble business.
I get emotional when I have to scratch one of those deep anus itches, I can't imagine adjusting to anal penetration just to get some nookie... I don't even remember what this post was about, anal sex gets me that distracted and upset.

Oh right, Judas Priest is reformed. Seems sorta anti-climatic now.
