Lust is in the Eye of the Beholder: Male Gaze and Fan Desire

In this episode you will learn: That according to Freud, cigars are not always cigars, sometimes they are metaphoric dicks. Which of us would take a sneaky pic of the guys in public (and is actually ashamed of it) What Ginger's Girl-Spawn told her own father about RZK (Hint: her father was most offended!) And why female fans (and some men, we aren't genderist) LOVE 'stern face' photos of stars. This week we turn our attention to the tendency of the Rammstein guys to be shown in publicity photos giving a 'stern' look. Don't get us wrong -- WE LOVE IT. But, we wanted to dig into WHY that sort of look is so popular, and more specifically why it creates such lustful feelings. So, we dive into the psychological theories of desire to discuss formal 'stern' band photos. Then we do a 180 and discuss informal 'stern' face photos and fan 'interference' in the guys off-stage lives.

The Lyric Lunatics are best friends— scientists from opposite ends of the research spectrum, who show their love for each other by arguing about everything, especially rock music. Music is more than a feast for the ears, for the Lyric Lunatics it is a feast for the mind as well. Music lyrics, sci-fi, random geekery, music culture and sex...throw them together...mix with two women who overthink EVERYTHING and the result is bound to be chaos.
