It's so sad. He lived in Nashville and was so beloved here. Hard to believe he's gone.
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.
He had an incredible life and a remarkable career.
In some good news, X has released a new album from the original lineup, Alphabetland, which is streaming online.
RIP, Little Richard.
Good golly.
I "maybe I'm an idiot" news, it never occurred to me that Little Richard was gay.
Yeah, same kind of idiot over here. Never even considered it.
wow really?! interesting.
To be fair he was pretty omnisexual!
Mostly gay, though he had religious qualms about that at various times in his life.
But he loved to suck cock and wasn't shy about saying so.
He also had a drag act inspired by Fabulash (aka, Esquirita) in underground gay clubs before his regular career took off.
A quote pulled from his bio, The Quasar of Rock and Roll:
"One time Buddy Holly came into my dressing room while I was jacking off with Angel sucking my titty. Angel had the fastest tongue in the west. She was doing that to me and Buddy took out his thing. She opened up her legs and he put it in her. He was having sex with Angel, I was jacking off, and Angel was sucking me when they introduced his name on stage. He finished and went to the stage still fastening himself up. I'll never forget that. He came and he went."
Hell of an anecdote!
He will be missed. An amazing person in addition to an incredible musician.
