      One of tunes on my phone. Right now I have 44 CDs with a playlist over 18 hours long. I have Swing, Disco, Soul, R&B, Rock & Roll, Country, classical, Blues. I've never listened to song because it's of a particular genre but because I like it. I was born in 1955 when we didn't have the copious choices of TV, radio, etc. like we do now. We watched whatever was on and some radio stations we couldn't pick up until after sunset. My hometown had CBS, NBC and PBS only when I was growing up. We got an ABC station when I was in high school just before cable TV was a thing in our area.

    R.I.P. Sylvester! Anyone who was in the Bay Area or NYC during the mid-70's to early-80's got a taste of paradise on Earth and I'm not just talking about the sex, drugs and rock and roll. There was a feeling of love & happiness the Castro, Polk Street, The West Village (I'm sure there were other places but those were the places I frequented) unlike any time or place in the universe. I can you without exegerating, it was a magical time. I would gladly hand over these last 23 years to have just one year more year from those days. 💔

      ​@@JustinLHopkins - It wasn't entirely Hedonism. America was also having a cultural renaissance. The cost of living was low. The quality of life was high. If you want to talk about the cost of Hedonism you might want to consider the current opioid crisis which has killed more than half a million.

    • @JustinLHopkins
      @JustinLHopkins หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@unfluster Opioid addiction is not hedonism. It’s a health crisis.
      Studio 54 is the definition of modern hedonism. Drugs everywhere, people fucking all over the place, and even deaths occurred. The club was literally stuffed to the ceiling in drugs and anonymous sex was rampant. I have no issue with this and if I had a time machine, I’d make 54 one of my stops. I don’t think anyone can seriously argue that this period in time was not hedonistic.
      Again, hedonism always carries a cost. Burning the candle at both ends never leads to anything good.
      I will say that the creativity flowing in NYC during the 70’s/80’s was unparalleled and we lost so many talented and creative people. We can never get that back and New York will never be the same. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You can only party for so long before something inevitably explodes.

    I have full respect for Sylvester for not hiding his sexuality, during the time when it was frowned upon, with the stigma and the abuse that came with it.
    What a disco classic, I understand why Jimmy Somerville chose to do his cover tribute verstion of this masterpiece.

Sylvester may have worn certain outfits in everyday life. However, once he stepped on stage that outfit is then labelled a costume. I am not speaking of Halloween costumes or masks.

      Sorry Angela it's a much accepted urban myth that gay people hid in the shadows and were looked down on during the 1970s/80s but I can tell you being an old bloke in my 70s that there were many disco clubs frequented by gay people and there were also many gay dating organisations . My girlfriend and I spent many nights boogying on the dance floor with gay friends. And I might add dancing to black music.
