I don't. I'm bored by songs about "whores" as they are usually called in the cowboy songs. I have a friend who has an amazing number of songs about drunks and whores in his repertoire. I can't understand what he finds so appealing about it. ;-)

I used to see those professional girls around on the street quite a bit in Toronto, usually after coming out of concerts late at night. They used to hang out on Church Street at one time. Kind of ironical, isn't it? I mean, that they would pick "Church" Street. ;-)

Then there was the guy upstairs in the rooming house who hired such a girl one night, around about 2 AM, and they got in an argument because he welched on paying her (after the act). She had a fit, and it was happening in the apartment right above my head. I heard a whole lot of yelling and swearing. Then I heard this almighty ****CRASH!!!!**** on the ceiling. She had knocked over his fish tank, a really big one that was full of tropical fish. It was the only really nice thing he owned, since he was basically broke and jobless. Water starting pouring down the side of my wall, as it was working its way through somehow from up above, and the row got louder and louder. They fought all the way down to the front door, at which point she nailed him with a right cross that knocked him flat on his back, and she took off.

The fish tank and the fish were a complete loss. I figure that for that probably not very terrific bit of sex he got for "free", it cost him close to $1,000 in fish and fish acommodations and equipment. He was just not what I'd call a "lucky" person... (kind of like Shane)
