Thread Name: BS: Gender-neutral Love Songs
Subject: RE: BS: Gender-neutral Love Songs
Most love songs can be tweaked to reverse the direction of flow from male to female or female to male. If this proves tricky, one can always do the traditional thing and add a first verse that goes something like: "As I walked out on a May morning, I met a fair maiden/young fellow and this song she/he did sing." which is the usual device to make a woman's song singable by a bloke.

On the subject of men with long red hair, does anyone else remember Moxie, a notorious London blues harp player back in the 60s and 70s? Better yet, does anyone know what happened to him?
