Hunter's a good guy.

...use clothing store dressing rooms. They just peel off their clothes in the aisle of the store and try on things off the rack: shirts, pants, thongs, whatever.
 
And everyone (including the store staff) watches eagerly, then applauds after.

As polar as these two artists are....
"The skinny one in the middle" caught my eye when I first saw her on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and ALL BETS were off! (Still a HUGE fan today).
Then that boy from Sayerville N.J. caught my ears (AND EYES!!!)..
(I hope the links work!).

Cannot forget the time we lived in Detroit when I was young.

Was that their first single? At any rate, I loved their first album. It's genius. And I was living in the Boston area at the time.
 
The Doors, "Light My Fire" (RIP, Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek)

Jefferson Airplane, "Somebody to Love," Woodstock version

Renaissance, "Prologue" - not my favorite song of theirs, but probably the first one I heard.

The Police and Sting... "Every Breath You Take"
 

 
And I'll be watching you...

Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
 
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
 
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
 
Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock
 
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
 
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
 
And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
 
Like a rock. standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock
 
Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock

 
 

The Archies Sugar Sugar i dare you to listen all the way through and then try to get the tune out of your head. It has been rattling around in the large empty spaces of my brain for 47 years.
Love me some Reggie and Moose (not pictured)

I've often thought a lot of true family history gets lost between the generations and understandings of the loves, teen years, etc of parents and parents of them etc. I've told friends and with my family, given the easy access to making recordings (with today's consumer technologies assisting), to have those great conversations between generational adults perhaps around the dinner table after holidays to go "deeper" and perhaps record. Charlie Rose, Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt in this wonderful open family interview which I watched tonight on PBS (and can be played back here):

I look forward to watching the HBO film documentary that came from their book too. A link about the film (on my to do list) on HBO now then again on CNN at the end of this month:

Ha. I swear to god. These bands are produced like an assembly line. Aw well, little sussy and gay boy johnny need their teen heart throbs when yesterday teen heart throbs get too old or worldly I guess.
 
I like the name New District though. Reminds me of New Kids on the Block. One day they too will be doing reunion tours for middle aged women and some gays trying to capture their youth.

I read the link, and from what I understand, while Uber drivers make more, they also have to come out of pocket for wear and tear, vehicle depreciation, gas and vehicle maintenance, which no matter how you slice the pie, is no small change. Is that correct?
 
Depending on the type and age of the vehicle, and kind of driving you are doing the average is 56 cents per mile, not to mention the depreciation you suffer by adding excessive miles to your car. So the 19 dollars an hour that Uber likes to put out there is really much closer to ten dollars an hour. Driving your personal car in taxi cab conditions, you'll wear it out at a fairly rapid rate, when you consider the added depreciation from the excessive miles.

As a rider, by all accounts from those that I know who use it, Uber is fantastic. Almost everyone I know uses Uber now, and in my area, Broward County, they are now trying to work with Uber to be inclusive instead of trying to exclude them all together, which is a smart move, because Uber does not appear to be going away anytime soon.

I use UBER on a daily basis. I have a personal account and also have clients who have ordered Uber for me.
 
To address OP's question: the only personal information that is shared is your first name. If you want to order Uber for an escort, he would need that information when gets in the car. The driver has no access to your last name or credit card details.

I never felt unsafe during any of the trips i have taken. Your statement made me look up Uber requirements and this is what i found: https://www.uber.com/driver-jobs I think some drivers probably know their area better than others but even my "pro" driver from FLL did not know where my hotel was on the beach I had to tell him how to get there with my GPS.

Apart from one driver who just didn't show up, I've never had a problem with Über and use it a lot when traveling. As far as being "safe," DC cabbies appear to be some of the worst, most unsafe drivers on the road.

Uber drivers are nicer and they take their job as a hobby, many times a part time job.
 
Taxi drivers are usually cranky and in a bad mood. The 2 of them are strangers but the uber driver's identity is recorded by the company and available with just a click away, the taxi driver has a license but that doesn't make him any better and he's more likely to be overworked, tired, under the pressure of a union and hating his job.
 
Uber rules, taxis will only be effective in NYC.

In my personal experience there are two ways in which this happens.
 
The first and most common way, is after a shared intimacy, after a passionate session or few years of getting to know one another, he looks at you with a glint in his eye, says "I fucking love you, man" slaps your ass, smiling and moves unto something else. In my experience, when a session goes the way I want it to go, I fall in love a little, I feel butterflies a little, I cherish that special moment looking into each other's eyes, which makes it very easy for me to imagine he will also feel that.
 
There is no promise, no contract, no attachment, no exchange of vows, and more importantly, no benefiting from the other's vulnerability. There is only love, encounter, tenderness, passion, all lived powerfully in a magic moment, then forgotten, till next time.
 
The other way is when after one or many sessions you notice the client suffering, tentative, demanding a lot of attention, constantly trying to break the pre agreed privacy boundaries, asking for reassurance, information, promises, or a lot of time outside of the time you spend together. Sooner or later when together, he will break down and in a very emotional way he will say something like: "I have not been doing well, I am suffering so much because of my feelings for you... I love you so much that I _______". You get my drift.
 
In this case, I listen attentively and compassionately and explain that under these circumstances I am unable to continue seeing him because that would only be damaging to him. I clarify that because of my professional ethical rules I will never -under any circumstance- start an emotional partnership with a client because I believe the power imbalances and mutual transferences and expectations will make the relationship unhealthy from the very beginning. I then strongly encourage him to look for professional help, someone with whom he can talk about this. Not another escort, who might potentially take advantage of his vulnerability, but a psychologist who might be better equipped to help him through that.
 
I tend to prefer not to wait till all this happens and look for the signs of emotional attachment before they further develop.
 
I have no problem with having a passionate, romantic boyfriend experience. Love traveling to romantic places with dear old clients of mine, with whom I can allow myself to be vulnerable and absolutely available because they understand, respect and celebrate the boundaries and nature of our relationship. What I won't do under any circumstance is keep seeing a client and charging him even if I know well that I will never be able to give him what he believes he wants. Making money out of heartbreak, to me, is just not an ethical thing.
 
To me love and vulnerability have never been a problem. They are the goal.
 
Attachement, expectations, blurred boundaries and emotional exploitation are an absolute no no. As soon as they show up, I will end the relationship.
