James, you__ like Lou Reed,_ Michael insisted. __e was bisexual.__heir laughter turned to coughs. They were all staring at me when I turned around. I told myself to relax.__h, yeah?_ I said. __e doesn__ sound bisexual.__ichael just shook his head, but Ronan and Glenn smiled.__hey did electroshock therapy on him when he was a teenager,_ Michael said.__lectro-what?_ said Glenn. __hey electrocuted people?___ind of.
