Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Beck interviews Tom Waits: [link]

That was cool.

If anyone remembers, could you post a link when the second half of this interview is posted?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Just got this request forwarded to me. Anyone know?

I have a patron who is trying to find out which 1960s pop musician (male) just came out of the closet within the last month and made a comment that he should have done this 40 years ago. So far 2 librarians have searched the internet, Google news, Infotrac, etc. and can't come up with anything! I am hoping someone may just know this off the top of their head. If you do please let me know! Thanks!

Ann, that's a ferret.

The only out '60s pop musician I can think of offhand is Lesley Gore. Who came out several years ago and, of course, is not male.

I think Johnny Mathis is out, but I'd call him a '50s singer.

When did JM come out?


Fred Pete - Jul 10, 2009 5:33:22 am PDT #1219 of 6436
Ann, that's a ferret.

Wikipedia says he came out in 1982, went back in, then came out again about 3 years ago.

Thanks, FP. That could be the answer.

Our wings are not tired.

It's so funny thinking that JM ever actually thought he was "in" a closet.

I never knew Johnny Mathis was gay.

Nope. I guess I've never really considered Johnny Mathis' private life at all. But my friends and I did go through a phase when we listened to a lot of that 50s/60s pop, like Mathis and Doris Day.
