when you abuse the name of Jesus Christ in any context you will bring the wrath of God on yourself.
Forget your concept of what a christian or ' religious' person is or should be. Focus only on Jesus Christ for he gave himself as a reconciliation between god and man. God is reconciled to man through the blood of the lamb of God-Jesus.
If you can accept him and live according to his words you will be on the path to all righteousness and the fulfilment of Gods plan for you. God bless u
Don't call me prick,you dumb cunt.You modern-day american fools think you know so much.But you're out of touch with reality.So far removed from the real world that our parents grew up in during the 1920'&30's.Why don't YOU stop pretending,or imagining that you know anything.I do not need to listen to "the gays",or any other moron who writes on these idiotic internet forums.THIS was my 1st & last time.I don't need this crap(trying to communicate with all you programmed idiots.)
Rock was gay... but he wasn't happy ... how can someone be happy slipping around , hiding, lying, denying, pretending , imagining, make believe, deviating on and on it goes... almost till his last breath. Very sad ... I think, he was a genuinely nice guy so the story goes.
@taiwanatoa Fool? Why am I a fool...? Listen to the Gay's on the tube, dummy, talking about torture being in the closet. My bro is gay, prick. How can someone be happy pretending to be something hes not, slipping around , hiding, lying, denying, pretending ,making believe ? That's a question! Rock was in hiding all his life. Even in the end he couldn't get over the public finding out, He said so himself.
As for U, its work staying stupid... stop working so hard.
Well the whole thing is nostalgic hypocrisy and BS because they're talking about alcohol and tobacco as if those things weren't drugs. Then on top of that they're drinking during the whole song as they're complaining about contemporary drug use.
@JohnQ1127 I don't think they mean to be politically correct. They just mean they grew up with tobacco and alcohol and now today there's so many different widespread drugs that "everybody today is turning on." I think its pretty cool that they're acknowledging different forms of drug use and they're not casting a dirty look to it,
@LordKalbert, The song is actually from a broadway musical from the 70's and it's actually old people criticizing the drug use of the time period and casting a dirty eye to it. But again like I said the hypocrisy in the song is hilarious as if drinking a martini and smoking a lucky strike is safer or less dangerous than smoking marijuana.
@JohnQ1127 Well considering Bea Arthur was one cool bitch, I don't think this was anything of any significance other than that they were trying to make people laugh. And look at Rock Hudson. He has no real ammo for being too much of a critic considering he was one of the first Hollywood celebrities to come out of the closet. What a barn burner he was.
OMG, I am old enough to remember when you could do stuff like this on TV, and I'd forgotten. In so many ways it was a freer time for social commentary. You could NEVER do this piece on TV now.
Whomever wrote that song surely has some experience! Poppers......? I mean, it had to be written by a gay man, that is without doubt. These 2 singing it, so cool, given what we now know aboiut him, and that she has been such an attraction to so so many for years. Glad I found it.
maybe you're kidding -- but it is "your CARES are gone." :) I like how they insert "temporarily gone" for the last 2 choruses. Wonder what show this is from?
True, Bea wasn't gay, but she was still a vocal gay rights activist and even left $300,000 to an organization that works to end LGBT youth Homelessness.
Rock did well in this for being out of his element. Bea demonstrates why she'll for ever remain a musical comedy icon. Not a word is lost of a difficult lyric. Sounds like Kander & Ebb. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks for sharing this
gay icon doesn't mean gay friendly. don't forget: an icon is an object. an icon is by definition dehumanized, superficial, 2-dimensional. I don't think there is any clear rule as to what becomes a gay icon most... (besides black mink coats...) However it often seems to involve a bit of "I know something you don't", i.e. trivia, reading biographies... and sequins.
When Judy Garland was asked about her gay following she replied, I sing to people, stop the Judy and donna summer bashing, who really cares, just enjoy bea arthur-
Ok...Im not sure if youre trying to diasgree with me or not but im not saying that every person who is/was a gay icon was rightfully so or that every person who was liberal and a supporter of gay rights made gay icon status...I said that was why Bea was a gay icon
one doesnt have to be gay to be a gay icon...ususally those that appeal to gay people or stand up for our rights....she was both...she was a gay icon because she was such a liberal person and always supported gay rights
@ninetiesbaby10 herein lies the fear of many people who would, otherwise, support us; they are afraid of being labeled as such. Bea could've cared less and probably said "So what if I am?" (ironically). And remember, it wasn't until he was dead that anyone (other than close friends) knew Rock was gay. Unfortunately, it was THIS ignorance that, ultimately, killed him.
@BishiBanger I dont think most women have been afraid....they werent nearly as concerned about labels as their male counterparts. But its the fault of America for allowing a simple friendly association to turn into assumption about a person. SMH it's a shame but m glad Bea, Judy Garland and others were not afraid of adversity. I also agree about ROck Hudson....had he acknowledged it, that might have made all the difference.
This is from a TV variety show in the 70's. Rock and Bea performed as song from a Broadway Musical (I Love My Wife) that was popular at the time. The song in the musical was a parody about modern culture.
@WittoWed It wasn't an ode to. Look at the date...it was presented, ironically, as "anti-drug" (otherwise, during those days, celebrities would have been blackballed). And Rock Hudson even mentioning Amyl Nitrate is absolutely priceless.
Did some government scientist invent it? WHERE do you get this (supposedly documented) data from? Please post a link from a reliable source. Teach us all about this government conspiracy.
Please someone tell me SOMETHING,. ANYTHING !!!! about this video. Is it from an episode of Maude? What year? The ALLCAPS description on the right is no help.
you know, this sort of stuff is what America needs...good OLD FASHIONED show tunes from VERY talented people! RIP Rock and Bea......you gave this world such a beautiful gift.....thank you!
It doesn't seem that being gay is your only problem Arthur...how about latent Homophobia as well...must reduce your number of friends a lot unless you are a hypocrit too.
Not everything can be as well balanced as you, Arthur. Many people, gay or straight, turn to promiscuity to chase away whatever they're dealing with. Instead of having a problem with them, have a little sympathy-- often they need help.
Simply wonderful! Loved those variety shows of the 70's. Wish we still had them. Maybe we don't have talents like Bea and Rock around any more. Thanks for posting this gem!!
The original song is from a show called I Love My Wife and was sung by James MacNaughton and Lenny Baker. Sadly, the show lost to Annie for Best Musical that year...I believe.
I'd love to see a interview of Bea where, years later, she comments on this duet with Rock Hudson. If such an interview exists, I've yet to see it.
I believe this performance was from a Bea Arthur variety show in 1980 that didn't quite make it to become a regular series. Who knows why - with entertaining stuff like this, I'd think it would be way popular, especially back in 1980 when such shows were in their heyday (Carol Burnett, etc).
This is great in every way, no matter the view point. It is great to see the two together- wish I could just hang out in their living room.

I'd love to see a interview of Bea where, years later, she comments on this duet with Rock Hudson. If such an interview exists, I've yet to see it.
I believe this performance was from a Bea Arthur variety show in 1980 that didn't quite make it to become a regular series. Who knows why - with entertaining stuff like this, I'd think it would be way popular, especially back in 1980 when such shows were in their heyday (Carol Burnett, etc).
The set looks really comfy too :)

I love this song, "Everybody Today is Turning On" from the 1977 musical I LOVE MY WIFE by Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart.
