  1. Very sad news! He was, as you say, quite popular in the 50's-60's, writing a lot of funny songs & performing. But then, around 1970, he just stopped & went back to his scholarly career. He is quoted as saying: Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I think that his decision to withdraw from writing & performing may be one cause for his obscurity.
  2. You're not the only one!
  3. The documentary is titled Hidden Master: The Legacy of George Platt Lynes. Trailer of YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTPljOAhj8g&t=1s Review from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/07/hidden-master-the-legacy-of-george-platt-lynes-review-eye-opening-snapshot-of-new-yorks-queer-scene
  4. More cases of media exposure could increase the popularity of the sport.
  5. There's also some Only Fans content on porn sites like Pornhub (or so I am told).
  6. Good advice! The only other requirement is that your passport must be valid for 6 months beyond the length of your stay.
  7. The 787 has been in service for 14 years with no previous serious accidents. Someone pointed out that the landing gear on the plane had not been retracted as it normally would have been which is another indication of a major systems failure.
  8. US State Department travel warning is to 'exercise caution' in 3 southern provinces, not in Thailand as a whole: Exercise Increased Caution to: Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and Songkhla provinces due to civil unrest associated with ongoing insurgent activities I agree that such travel advisories should generally be taken with a sizable grain of salt.
  9. Great photos! Thank you for posting.
  10. A major force in gay literature for the last 50-odd years: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jun/04/edmund-white-novelist-dies
  11. It could be that prices escorts charge in CDMX are determined by what they can earn in LA or Houston or what rich California (?) gays are willing to pay in Puerto Vallarta. This blog by a gringo expat in CDMX has descriptions of the gay scene, including cruising, parties & sex clubs, mainly intended for younger guys who don't want to pay: https://traceyparkertravel.com/ Not sure how up-to-date the information is but interesting reading!
  12. Unfortunately I have also encountered very promising looking guys hanging out in front of Da Nang massage shops but I realized that they are just touts & the services in the shop are all provided by women. Apparently it's a pretty common scam in Da Nang for touts & motocy drivers to steer men to 'VIP Massage' shops which then rip them off in various ways (or so I've been told).
  13. Totally agree. I have read & enjoyed each one of your posts & I appreciate your candor in talking about the ups and downs of dealing with your Thai ex-BF.
  14. @bkkmfj2648, thanks again for your excellent & enjoyable posts! It really is a reminder that I should return to Da Nang for another visit. AND... I am looking forward to a detailed report if you make contact with the dreamboat at Hero Spa!
  15. Thank you, @bkkmfj2648, for another excellent report & I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the Champa Museum! I will definitely check out the Sculpture Park when I return to Da Nang. (Photos of the museum attached.) If you are interested in Champa culture, there is the My Son Sanctuary, a ruin from the Champa period about an hour's drive from Da Nang: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/949/ The site is not very large & you can probably see it all in an hour but I was glad that I went.
