I saw the show last night. The house was sold out and enthusiastic. It's easy to see why One Finger liked the show so much. The three Donnas have spectacular voices. Obviously the music is good, or you wouldn't have gone. The set is colorful. So far, so good, eh? But, as One Finger points out, the backup dancers are all female, often dressed as males, but they didn't fool me. Since gays were virtually ignored in this show, gay guys who attend, hoping to see a version of their younger selves on stage dancing to Donna Summer's songs, too bad for you. No sweaty shirtless guys absorbed in Last Dance or MacArthur Park. Just girls. There are two references to gays in the show. One is where Donna found that she had something in common with a male friend in that they both had boy friends. Later, when she is talking about being the Queen of Disco, a character on stage says something to the effect of "it's nice being a queen." He does that in a very effeminate manner. The biggest reference to gays is when the Donna character acknowledges that there were three types of men in her life, the latter being her gay audience. She then mentions her Adam & Steve comment and apologizes for it, saying that she never judges anyone. Oh. Well, how about acknowledging that without the gay support for her music she would probably never have reached the level of stardom she did. Using female dancers in the show cuts out the gay men entirely, so we are still left to wonder how much she appreciated the support she received. As a whole, I don't see this show going to Broadway. A huge rewrite would be needed as some scenes are quite flat and unnecessary. The public is pretty unfamiliar with her life story. I didn't know she was married three times and had three kids. She was beaten a lot. She complains about success a lot. She sued Casablanca for bankrupting her, and then hired David Geffen, who is not identified as gay. Without the support of the gay community, even a re-worked version of this show would find trouble on Broadway, which is run by gay men and Jewish men. The show features abundantly her faith in Jesus, and, as said, virtually ignores gays. I just don't see that going over well in New York. All of which left me to enjoy the music and the singing. And I enjoyed that a lot. MacArthur Park was wonderfully done, even without watching sweaty shirtless hunks dancing to it. Note: Summer denied making any anti-gay remarks. She was lying, of course, as the musical clearly acknowledges the Adam & Steve comment: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/12/donna-summer-anti-gay-remarks-apology-letter_n_1591615.html One man's view of Donna Summer: http://marksking.com/my-fabulous-disease/enduring-legacy-donna-summer-gay-men/

I just show my CA driver's license, which barely gets a cursory glance as I look so old.

Excellent observation, tomcal!

I have found Tom to be correct about Wednesday nights and Saturday nights at 117.

On November 10th, the Boytoy administrator suspended Kevin C for a month. It's not two weeks later, and he signed in here today. Does a suspension exist only in another dimension? Just asking.

A woman is claiming that Backstreet Boy Nick Carter raped her 15 years ago. Would Nick Carter really have to rape someone to get off? 15 years ago? The details of her story mainly include oral sex on his part, which I don't think is literally rape...read for yourself: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/teen-pop-star-melissa-schuman-accuses-nick-carter-rape-article-1.3649254 Nick Carter in 2002:

I just want it to keep mine on the up!

He does seem to have left this forum. If anyone can handle a private forum I think it is tomcal.

Bieber with something sweet between his legs!

He's not alone. The news is full of such incidents. One teacher had candles lit as she expected her boy, but instead met the cops! http://www.dailywire.com/news/23742/married-school-teacher-22-arrested-having-sex-teen-amanda-prestigiacomo

Tomcal- Wasn't the member who violated your trust also a "known" member?

I have not seen that. DO you have examples?

It's a mystery why I could not play it on Firefox, but could on Chrome. Anyway, it was a fun video. Now if that kid is over 18, he might yet have some pics in that private forum...he likes to show off!

Perhaps it's in a private section of the board!

Totally Oz posted a video. In order to watch it, I had to quit Firefox and use another browser. That's hardly user-friendly!

No flakka needed here:

Washington Post: By day, he was a clerk to a federal judge, a Harvard Law School graduate at the start of his career. By night, he was a ghost hunter and a devotee of the macabre. Brett Joseph Talley is now President Trump’s nominee for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench as a U.S. District Court judge in Alabama. Few in memory have been nominated with credentials quite like those of Talley, 36, an Alabama native, a political speechwriter, an author of horror books and a fledgling lawyer who has never tried a case. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/law-clerk-by-day-ghost-hunter-by-night-now-trumps-judiciary-nominee/2017/11/17/518b66a8-ca51-11e7-b244-2d22ac912500_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories-2_ghostjudge-335p%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.011984210a52

If you have ever wondered if some people post here while on drugs, there is a new drug that would leave little doubt. "Flakka" apparently causes people to strip naked and bark! I'm just saying, arf, arf, that we don't want it here! https://nypost.com/2017/11/18/drug-that-makes-people-strip-bark-taking-over-parts-of-us/

"West Hollywood Male Rentboy found Dead in bed of Client" "Oz, thanks for specifying that the rentboy is male. I always check when I hire in case a female rentboy is trying to get past my door! My condolences to the man's family.

The scandal continues! Hardly a day goes by where we don't see yet another story of an older woman luring a young man into sexual relations. Often underage, these young men look up to women and respect them. They would hardly refuse them anything. So when one of these predators causes the young man's penis to engorge and stiffen, the boy is almost helpless at her demands that he enter her body. Many times the behavior continues until another adult finds out what happens. Today we see a cheerleading coach busted for enticing a young man on several occasions. Most disturbing is that she is a graduate of Jerry Falwell's conservative Liberty University, apparently a breeding ground for perverted women, if this story is any indication. "Something needs to be done!" https://nypost.com/2017/11/18/cheerleading-coach-busted-for-having-sex-with-teen-student/

Donald Trump is doing one thing that no one quite predicted. He is sticking to a plan to turn the courts around by appointing young people to life terms as federal judges. Not just young people, and I use "young" in the context of traditional court appointments- but right-wing people who want to undermine the gains made in the past few decades. Abortion and gay rights are two topics they can't wait to handle.
