Far from me to jump into an argument!
Just an aside on Brokeback Mountain. I personally thought it was one of the most boring films that I've seen in a fair old while. It seemed to me that it was wholly reliant on the shock value of the gay scenes to carry it. It all seemed a bit "Basic Instinct" to me. From somebody who doesn't necessarily have an aversion to Porn I'm a bit prudish when it comes to sex in films. I very rarely see the point in a most sex scenes that I see in films and it kind of irritates me when a film gives such significance to a sex scene and yet pays little attention to the rest of the film. To describe Brokeback Mountain as plodding would be flattery.
Anyway, I'm quite fond of "Dear God" but I also prefer my songs without sexual references in them.
I'm not typically English at all!
