Johnny, Are You Queer?

[FreeThinker]

I made a reference to this song in The Foxwoods Chronicles, when Evan's grandmother is horrified that he is exposing his autistic friend to this...

It's a Saturday night. January 1982, at the bar. The dance floor is crowded as the boys work themselves into a frenzy over "Born to Be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez, "Our Lips Are Sealed" by The GoGos, and "The Visitors," by ABBA. The dance floor is smoky, fog is descending from the ceiling, green laser beams are flashing about, and the vapor of poppers has everyone dizzy and horny. Everyone is hot and sweaty. Shirts are unbuttoned. Everyone is hard. Bodies rubbing against each other. The music had been reaching a fever pitch, growing in intensity. The alcohol, the ludes, the poppers have everyone on the floor at their emotional peak... and then, the final song, the climax of the evening... this song...

I don't remember the Johnny song at all. I must have been busy being as queer as Johnny.

Seen them perform this song in the mid 80's movie "Valley Girl" way back when.

I'm 40, I've never heard of this song before. In the 80's I was discovering Elton John.

[The Pecman]

Oh, yeah -- big song in LA back in the day.

I'm 22 and I've never heard of this song either. Ah, such a sheltered life!

I remember that song. It was big in the early eighties.

I am 15... all we get is rap and slam, nothing worth remembering.

Get on youtube and search for the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Supertramp, AC/DC, Pink Floyd and U2.

Listen and learn. It's worth remembering.

Thanks James... Our dads have a rather extensive collection of vinyl.
