That's a very sound argument, one that has changed my thinking. I guess my only question now is, "Do you want to be compared to gay whomod, or are you shooting for comparisons to black-fearing, family-beating whomod?" Either way, you're still Wanky Boy to me.
Point taken, about setting myself up for comparison to Whomod.
And no one enjoys listening to "trendy oddities of the late-70s disco era." No one except for women who use Sex & The City and Desperate Housewives as their life model...and gay men.
Uhh... Barry White?
Saturday Night Fever?
The Bee Gees?
Donna Summer?
Michael Jackson?
Dukes of Hazzard?
Starsky and Hutch?
That 70s Show?
I've got news for you, the 70s stuff pretty widely popular with a good segment of the public, not just the gay community.
*sigh*
Here's your music/history/pop culture lesson.
Barry White is neither disco nor a trendy oddity from the "disco era." Neither are shows like the Dukes of Hazzard or Starsky and Hutch. That 70s Show is a 90s/00s sit-com looking back at the 70s. None of these four fit into the comparison you're attempting to make. And while Saturday Night Fever, The Bee Gees' disco-era musical output, and Donna Summer's music output all classify as disco, none - based on sales and other relevant indicators - classify as "trendy oddities." It's pretty safe to say, however, that all three of those examples are more favored by the two groups I cite than the general public as you choose to believe. So you fail again.
As for Michael Jackson...well that'd be shooting fish in a barrel on so many levels.
Interesting that I respond to your points and then you try to change your point. I wasn't talking about 70s stuff in general - pop culture that would include bands like Led Zeppelin, KISS, Aerosmith, and progressive rock, as well as some of the best films (studio and independent, horror and non-horror) of all time. I specifically used your phrase, "trendy oddities of the late-70s disco era." If you want to debate, please try and stay on point.
