Brian was no good in the sack (and other musings)

I'd be Brian's girlfriend.
I wouldn't complain.

This was clearly a big deal for Brian, though, and part of the insecurities that really define him as an artist and man. Think about the chain smoking, the "manly" voice, the out-of-control facial hair, the idolization of his father, the hatred of his falsetto voice. This is a guy who was fixated on the post-WWII concepts of manliness. Add in the rock-star business, the fact that Dennis and Mike were in the band (and some of his closest friends and collaborators) -- there's no wonder he got so messed up about it all.
