Dang @JuicyLucy, I wonder if we've met!!!

I met the Ramones (gone), backstage at The Berkeley Square (gone), and played once or twice at Larry Blakes (gone), once with bits of Santana's band...Even got to crash the "Bammies" once, lol.

Man,I loved this band in the early 80s - saw them a few times in the Bay Area before they "got signed"

Grant Hart, Husker Du Drummer and Singer, Dead at 56

 

[HazyShades]

Well damn...

He was into orchids, made a few hybrids, ran Sea God Nurseries, had nurseries in Fiji.
Yes, Raymond Burr Vineyards still exists

I was that crazy little Native chick who had a pierced nose in the late 70s when it was still a shocking act of rebellion and not a fashion statement

That would be interesting bro try

 

[The Cromwell]

Ahh the Rock Hudson gay was the best closet door busted open

 

[Train]

LOL, I was the guy who'd hire bald girls, guys with multicolor mohawks, and pretty much anyone who'd work hard - at Blondies Pizza. Early 80's though...

Yea but it wasn't as surprising as Perry fucking Mason being gay. John Wayne was difficult to ...swallow..LOL

I was at the famous Doors concert at Dinner Key Auditorium when he whipped "it" out.
I wasn't a musician, roady or groupie..I was just a kid and a buddy and I snuck in.

Speaking of dead celebrity vintners: bought this directly from the man back in 83... and I wasn't quite legal yet

But this was the best cop show

"OMG!!! They used to shoot smokers!?!?"

[AndriaD]

So.... exactly what is wrong with being gay?

Andria

 

[The Cromwell]

yeah John Wayne was kinda difficult to believe.
But he and Rock did star together in that western.....

 

[HazyShades]

Andria

Nothing except when the gay guy is a male role model it can be traumatic for the not gay guy.
It would have been honest for Rock Hudson and John Wayne to be openly gay.
Instead they pushed the macho image off screen

 

[The Cromwell]

So.... exactly what is wrong with being gay?

Andria

Nothing.
Nothing at all. But it is kinda funny when people think someone is the ideal of maleness and it turns out they are gay.
Like the male model pics some women post....
But I guess that is about like the women pics that get posted.
Just eye candy anyway.

 

[AndriaD]

Only if the not-gay guy has some antiquated prejudice against other people's personal choices.

[AndriaD]

My son is gay... "mostly", he says. He's completely masculine; nothing "swishy" about him at all. If he hadn't told me, I'd never have guessed.

Man, all those TV love scenes between Rock and Susan Saint in McMillan and Wife...all a sham..Yea, it's television, kid..LOL

Andria

Ahh we all have prejudices.
I personally do not like tattoos or metal in the face or knapkin rings in the ear lobes.
But if someone else likes them it is fine with me.
And I get poked in the butt enough by my government, but do not care much for it.
But if someone else does it is their business unless they try to poke my butt then I poke their nose with my fist..

As with most all things do whatever you want as long as it hurts no one else is how I roll.

I do so love it when the outspoken homophobes get caught in the closet though.
I just hate hypocrisy.

 

[HazyShades]

Andria

Nah, you're over reacting. I've had gay friends for years.
In high school I was a peer counselor, talked one guy into accepting his gayety
and stop trying to slash his wrists with a Trac II razor.
One of my oldest friends ran the local chapter of the Gay Liberation Front.
I had no problems dining in public with him and his lovers with or w/o my ex wife.
See, I really do not care who you fuck with as long as you don't fuck with me. Seriously. Maybe I'm not a normie.

This isn't about antiquated prejudices that I don't have.
It's about social mores and role models.

I dislike tats, studs, safety pins through cheeks, gauges or any of that.
But if you wanna do that to you it's alright by me. One of my gay friends has rings in his nipples and a stud on the head of his penis.
It doesn't bother me and I wouldn't know if he hadn't told me.

 

[The Cromwell]

I have several times in my life been picked on for having friends of other races and sexual orientation.
Not that I really cared.
A person is to be judged on what they are not their sexual orientation or skin shade.

To me tattoos are like deciding you want to wear the same shirt for the rest of your life....

I've been known to stop and make passengers leave my vehicle for saying the wrong or derogatory term
for "people of color" or those who fly the rainbow flag.
(I put quotes on people of color because that used to be an unacceptable term but seems to now be in vogue)

 

[HazyShades]

'little'

I appreciate your honesty, Sir.

In my own case, it's more like permanent jewelry -- I have a 1" heart on my left wrist, because I have such slender wrists and hands, I can't ever wear bracelets. So I got a cute little tattoo for decoration. I dont' really understand those who want to turn themselves into The Illustrated Man, but it can be very intriguing artwork. My son has several tattoos and wants/plans to get more... but so far, no metal embedded in his person, so I count that a win. I have to say, I greatly admire the jeweled adornments that some Indian women add to their faces -- forehead or nose -- but as fetching as I find a diamond or ruby in the nostril, I wouldn't want one; it surely would make colds and allergies an even worse trial than they are already.

I think those napkin rings in the earlobes are pretty fucking weird... it's like those african tribes where the women keep adding chokers to their necks, gradually making their necks grotesquely long.

Once while hitch hiking close to Stone Mountain I was picked up by a chick in full Klan regalia
on her way to a meeting..She took me out of her way 'cause of my long hair.

I can't believe half the shit going down in the matrix now-a-days.
What are they gonna do next? half the towns in the South are name Forrest or Lee or some such.

Yes Ma'm I did. "Today is as good a day to die as any." - Billy Jack.
I got in a car in North Central Florida at midnight once with four armed black dudes.
As soon as I was inside, in the back seat between 2 dudes they all whipped out their guns in unison
and told me they'd just robbed a place. They were toking on an herbal cigarette,
I said, "Cool, can you pass that over here, man?"

 

[HazyShades]

I also spent most of one long cold dark night standing by the side of a two lane black top
out in the middle of nowhere GA on my way to Athens.
I was about to freeze when I noticed the few cars were all going in the opposite direction.
I went across the road and was picked up by the DJ of the only progressive rock FM station thereabouts on his way to work. Rock & Roll.
He had a pipefull of GA Green. He took me past his turn. The next ride was a preacher by the name of Roy Gibbs
who took me to a bus station and bought me a bust ticket home. One never knows.

I bet I used to live close to that "middle of nowhere near Athens" -- Winder. We lived there for about 13 yrs. Got tired of the commute to Lawrenceville though. But it was a nice little town to raise our son in.

Lovely rolling country..hard to walk on. I first went to Athens to West GA College with a group from Florida..we were hiking (backpacking) part of the Appalachian Trail
where it goes through GA. We stopped at Eatonton, the home of Uncle Remus.
So some months later I was on my way to Alaska and decided to stop by Athens. I never did make it to Alaska.
One thing about GA, the people, even the Klan are much friendlier than in north FL.

I done walked from one end of Leesburg to the other several times..then again, same has happened in Macon County.

Regular maple syrup or sugar cane syrup . We liked Jemima's pancake mix.

I've lived in Metro ATL or quite near it most of my life -- all but the 5 yrs I spent in MI. But I was MOST impressed by the genuine southern hospitality in Charleston, SC -- even the teens in fast food joints, actually seem to welcome you and be glad you're there. Amazing place. We went out to eat one night in Mt Pleasant, across the river from Charleston proper, and the waitress seemed truly contrite when I asked if I could smoke and was told, no, we're so very sorry, but they passed this law, yada yada -- it was 2008, and some places were only recently co-opted by the ANTZ.

I visited Atlanta several times as a reporter, went to Young Socialist Alliance meetings.
Then I hitch-hiked through several times. I love Peach Tree Street, and the Underground..very cool.
I also enjoyed the Southern hospitality in Tennessee where I found even the state troopers are friendly good old boys.
Been through half a dozen times to pick up truck vans (reefers) years back.
Of course, as in most every place else that's changing.
My friend Cris (LD3441) moved back to Cartersville, GA from near Orlando
and she bought a S&W 9mm first week there.."Ain't like it used to be, Hazy"

 

[HazyShades]

I do enjoy the Charleston S. Carolina accent.
