 Nick Bottom (In-Depth Analysis)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Whereas Puck’s humor is often mischievous and subtle, the comedy surrounding the overconfident weaver Nick Bottom is hilariously overt.
The humor surrounding Bottom often stems from the fact that he is totally unaware of his own ridiculousness; his speeches are overdramatic and self-aggrandizing, and he seems to believe that everyone takes him as seriously as he does himself.
When Titania, whose eyes have been anointed with a love potion, falls in love with the now ass-headed Bottom, he believes that the devotion of the beautiful, magical fairy queen is nothing out of the ordinary and that all of the trappings of her affection, including having servants attend him, are his proper due.

 Beyond Tops and Bottoms: Correlations between Sex-Role Preferences and Physical Preferences for Partners among Gay Men
But the point of the study was to see whether preference for certain physical traits were different among individuals among the different categories rather than finding out the actual distribution (which is a much tougher question because it's hard to remove the bias of where you solicit your respondents).
It was found that Only Bottoms and Versatiles (prefer Bottom) were more likely to prefer rough sex than the other 3 categories, again suggesting that receptive anal intercourse is linked with a desire to be overpowered.
In conclusion, instead of the Top and Bottom dichotomy, the data shows that there seems to be a fairly continuous spectrum of sex role preferences among gay men that map fairly consistently onto a continuous spectrum of physical preferences.

 Review of Pink Moon [Remaster] by Nick Drake at mySimon
Nick Drake was a singer/song writer during the late sixties and early seventies.
I thought that I was yet another listener who first heard Nick Drake's music on last year's Volkswagon commercial, until I bought "Pink Moon" (1970) and listened to the whole CD.
In a recent Epinion of mine in which I reviewed the Eva Cassidy album "Songbird," I stated that one of the greatest tragedies in art is when an artist dies before their work receives public acceptance.
