years ago, i remember reading an article by an English teacher who said that one his students had become very upset upon finding out that WH Auden's classic poem Lay Your Sleeping Head had been written for a gay lover.

the student had responded to the profession of love. not knowing anything of Auden.

i think when you write of love. its the same stuff. whatever your sexual preference. we're all human - the truths in great art are immutable.

why would music be any different?
