Ive always wondered where the gay bar in Edinburgh got its name from. Now I know! Lets all go for a drink in bette midler lol by ryanando
I have no idea who Bette Midler is, lol. But I like singers, especially ones not signed to mainstream record labels who sing for the love and the desire to earn a modest income (10K to 100k a year depending on success...). For they are not told how to dress, what video to do and what lyrics to use! by newprideexperiadj2

I dont think I'd enjoy this. Good review :-) by ryanando
An ok review, however you miss the mentioning of allegorical tale and also you miss the explanation of why he has to go on a ship in a first place. I think its cause his dad was moving his zoo to America as the economy was not doing well in India and he was losing money. by newprideexperiadj2
