So I ask the question - What music do you listen to when in Thailand and why?
I brought a selection of CDs out with me and do so on every trip. I like to listen to music whilst swimming, doing light exercise or prior to going out.
This time I brought my favourite club music of all time тАУ HRG тАЬHe never lost his hardcoreтАЭ. It still gives me the goose-bumps when I listen to it.
It reminds me of the club called Trade at Turnmills, in London. It was the clubтАЩs anthem and was always a great favourite when played.
I think it was the first nightclub in the UK to be given a 24 hour license in 1990. At the time it seemed totally weird to be going to a club at 3.00am and leaving at 1.00pm. It was the best gay club in the world, and I am correct in every respect in this matter! :sign5: I spent the best 10 years of my life going to that club.
I once was able to go into the club before it opened to the public and I saw all the staff gathered on the dance floor and watched as they did the sort of ritual you see super stars and world famous bands perform just before they go on stage. The DJ then played тАЬHe never lost his hardcoreтАЭ at full volume in an empty club . . . wow!
I also brought out a Tony DeVitt CD, Tony, sadly is now deceased, was one of the star DJs at Trade
Another CD that I brought out for the first time is the тАЬQueer as FolkтАЭ two CD compilation from the UK TV series. I hadnтАЩt listened to it for some time and was surprised to hear the Divine song тАЬYou think youтАЩre a manтАЭ. It brought a flood of memories back to the times I saw Divine perform at the nightclub Heaven in London. I recall that he always used to say, тАЬFuck you very much!тАЭ at the end instead of the customary, тАЬThank you very much!тАЭ
I even saw him once at Kings Cross Station in London, out of drag of course, dressed in a suit and probably heading up north for another club performance.
The thought then occurred to me . . . I wonder if Neal has ever done drag. Hmm . . . I thought he would make a great Divine impersonator and IтАЩd definitely pay to see him, say at his former bar, Happy Place, on a charity night. So Neal, what do you think, are you up for lip-syncing to, тАЬYou think youтАЩre a manтАЭ and dressed and made up as Divine?
I wanted to insert a YouTube clip of Divine singing the above song at this point, but IтАЩm afraid I donтАЩt know how to. Can someone more technically proficient than me post the clip?
