Your photos on your website don't look very much like your picture in Rock on the Wild Side. Are you really the same person?
Thanks for reminding
me of the inexorable passage of time. After all, that book was published back

"salt-and-pepperdom."
I confess that I held on to the "clone look" somewhat longer than most. (It was a big part of my generation of American gay men.) And dig those big, funky spectacles! They're practically worthy of Elton John! Also, in case you're wondering what the photographer—a very nice guy who went professionally just by the name "Barry"—was aiming for in that photo, we had agreed to go for a "sexy but scholarly look." It's not for me to say whether we succeeded.
