Point taken and considered Cobber.
Fact is, many camp artists and writers have indeed made their mark, and are held in esteme for their respective talents in their field without having to go into the "Gay and proud " routine.
Most admittedly only came out of the closet after making the grade so to speak. Well to my knowledge anyway.
So I don't know there is a true connection twix the arts of any kind, and physical attributes show cases.
After all, there has been every colour under the sun in the miss world, or whatever they call them things, and winners from most of them I would imagine.
I don't follow them as it is no doubt eveident by my stating I only assume.
I do know since finding out Elton was a bit of a shirt lifter, I tend to gag when I hear him sing a love song, even though I know Bernie wrote the words and I don't know what his prefferances are.
And I don't need to thanks all the same.
Same thing doesn't happen when, oh dear. Mental block. That Canadian chick, (I'll think of her name as soon as I click go I know) sings.
Just my way of seeing things, no doudt governed by what I see as acceptable sexual practice, and I know it will be taken as biase by some, but all opinios are.
It does not stop me thinking" now that is a good song." Just makes me check out last night's dinner some when my mind gets a picture of Elton singing this to one of his lovers, and what prompted it. spit spit spit.
Lump isn't in my throat when I think of the afore mentioned lady who I still can't remember then name of.
Going to have to hit the go button and then come back and edit it in when it comes to me while the site is saying thanks for the post.
Only type of thing I ever saw seperated people in music was stuff like The Cotton Club where most of the acts were black but blacks were not accepted as patrons.
Regards.
Graham
