I'm a transgender woman who has loved music for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting on the floor and listening to 45's and 78's. Music is the essential part of my life. Over the years I made many attempts to make a list of my favorite music. In 2011 I came up with the idea of http://scotts-vital-music.blogspot.com and creating the list by posting a song every day. When I transitioned in 2015 and changed my name I created this blog to continue the project...

"The Crying Game" by Boy George
I didn't realize how emotional it would be seeing the videos and posting this song. When I saw this move in the 90's I had NO IDEA that someday I would completely be able to relate to the Dil character. It made me cry watching scenes from this movie.
I was also sad to read that Jaye Davidson that played Dil "hated the fame":

I had to get some groceries tonight, first I went to the new WinCo on 21st South. I had to find the cheapest brand and the smallest size for each item SueZQ had on the list. Then I went into Trader Joe's and got one item there. Finally, I went into Natural Grocers to get some bananas and I only had a $1.81 left, so I had to weigh the bananas to make sure I had enough money. It sounds silly I suppose, but I started crying in the checkout line. It was a little weird having tears streaming down my face.
I think I should probably watch this movie again, because I don't remember much except for "that scene":
