      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.

    Met him briefly at a house party in San Francisco. His performances at the Galleria on Pride Sunday or New Year's Eve were unforgettable. "Mighty Real" was part of the sound track of my summer vacation in New York and DC in 1978. He is greatly under appreciated by the wider world but those of us in SF at the time won't ever forget.

    This is GOLD.....Sylvester was a Trailblazer for being just who he was with NO Appologies at all....he made it easier for so many others at that time to enjoy their lives, no matter who didn;t like it. Be who you are. Never live Your Life to please Anyone else.

    My friend who lived in San Francisco told me he would see Sylvester around sometimes on a moped with a fur coat and turban and he really did look like this. He told me at the Pride Parade there would be Sylvester on a float or as gran marshall then after the parade everyone would go to the park where there was a concert with Sylvester. OMG!! I would of loved to have been there, I would have died hearing this legendary "child wonder of gospel" and disco.

      This was 1978 and Sylvester was true to himself and a lot of people accepted him a such. Today there's too many that are more concerned about virtual signaling than being themselves and people can spot fakeness. In an interview, Sylvester talked about the problems he had with some in the gay community because he wouldn't "do it their way".

      You’re grandparents we’re not typical of teens in the 70s I was a teen then and can tell you everyone I knew couldn’t care less about people being gay, most musicians seem to be that way and it’s fine, true we joked about it but nobody I knew wished diverse people any harm. Without gay artists over the years we would not have such a rich back catalogue of music to listen to 👍

      In the 70s people didn't care who was gay or not, it was nothing to see straight people (guys and girls) in the gay clubs (Proof - watch Natalie Coles video for the song "Party Lights" and you'll see clips from Studio 54). People were free to be themselves no matter who they were. What happened to that era? When did things change? What caused the change? As Marvin Gaye would say "What's Going On?"

      @@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497 Actually, her grandparents were very typical of teens in the 1970s. Especially if she is an American. Only 30% of Americans in 1976 believed homosexual relations between consenting adults should be legal. Less than 10% of Americans thought being gay was something someone was born as. Hell, I grew up in the 1980s and for the vast majority of teens then, being gay was the ultimate taboo. Homophobia was absolutely rife in society. We may have come a long way, but let's not sugarcoat the past and look back with rose-tinted glasses.

      To say people didn't care, must be from large cities. Because down south in the bible belt, my 20 year old grandma waa going to church twice a week and wearing slips. She wasn't going out dancing or listening to Disco, that was the 'devil's music. '
