This old house was only a few blocks from the state Capitol in Madison,
Wisconsin. All the neighborhood cats lived in the basement during the
winter. The house has long since been torn down, but in 1972 there were
AR2ax speakers in the front room, and a lot of good music was heard there. |

In the 21st century I am just as opinionated as ever,
and I now have an outlet. I shall pontificate here about anything
that catches my fancy; I hope I will not make too great a fool
of myself. You may comment yea or nay about anything on the
site; I may quote you here, or I may not. Send brickbats etc.

February 5, 2017Interesting Facts Dept.I posted this on Facebook a year ago today:
Reviewed in the TLS, Peripheral Desires: The German discovery of sex, by Robert Dean Tobin (U. of Pennsylvania Press). In German-speaking Central Europe, the principal categories of modern sexuality were defined and named. In 1869 a lawyer in Hanover "published two pamphlets defending the legal rights of the 'urning' -- a person born with a body belonging to one gender, and a soul to the other".
I guess it ain't new, folks.
