hey, roddy, here's a quote for ya:

[i found it in a dusty musicology book entitled _queering_the_pitch_ (har har), and it was from a female musicologist who had just given a talk on lesbian composers at a works-in-progress colloquium.]

"I could see standards in the smile of the lovely young straight woman, a scholarly star who teaches the Schoenberg seminar. She told me (in rarified diction I dare not imitate) that music was independent of the body. In response I wanted to strip her naked and lick her body head to toe while humming Bessie Smith's 'I've been mistreated and I don't like it.'"

dear, dear roddy... perhaps you won't fully comprehend the wonderfulness of that quote. but please keep looking; it's in there somewhere.
