Sunship

Sunship was a band that performed from the early '70's until about 1980. While some of the personnel changed, five of the original eight members were in all editions of the band. In 1974 Into The Sun (LP, Album) was released on Capitol Records. The LP number is ST-11295. Tracks included: The Magician, A Man Could Get Killed, Travelers Through The Years, Ocean Song, I Feel Like I Love Her, Into The Sun, Just A Man, The Way It Was and Whip For A Blues LIck. Later editions of the band morphed from the original pop-rock genre into an urban, R&B, funk fusion sound. During seemingly endless negotiations for a new record deal with Arista Records the band members' patience bit the dust and they all decided to pursue other musical endeavors. Some still are.

I found out that you can still get the original Sunship album on Amazon and some of those discography websites.

Get the Sunship mug.

skinship

disturbingly intimate physical skin-to-skin contact among adolescent boys in Japan. The word originally developed to describe intimate physical contact between a mother and her baby, however more recently it has also come to describe the phenomenon of male groping, grooming, and cuddling which many young boys participate in. Skinship is usually practiced from late childhood through puberty among boys only.

(a new English teacher in Japan working in a junior high school) ''Man, I went into one of my classes today, and this one boy was sitting on the lap of another one right there and he had his one hand in his half-buttoned down shirt feeling up the other boys chest, and with the other hand he was playing with the other boys hair. Both of them seemed fine with it, and nobody else seemed to care at all. And I knew both of the kids have girlfriends because I talk to them after class. It was so weird...''

(a veteran English teacher) ''It's called 'skinship.' I don't know why, but they all love that shit over here.''
