Fuck you, you bigoted piece of shit.

[montawkjack]

The single most important song (along with Steppn' Out) to my coming out. Still gives me the chills, 25 years later.

@montawkjack So it's really a "coming out of the closet" song ? Not that I care, I always saw it as a meaningful interpretation of the gender questions of the eighties — and a stellar song to go with it — and it moved me that way at the times ! (With all respect to my several gay friends who takes me as I am like I take them as they are !)

@abelseeman I agree with you. But there are those who say peformers owe us NOTHING but a good concert or film. I understand that as well. But if you are a wealthy and able celebrity what HARM does it do to stop and sign a few things after a show? besides..it is the fans who bought their music that feed them.

[abelseeman]

@DavelovesRealMusic that is a professionalism through aloofness, not shyness. UK Actor James Bolam is like that. No autographs or acknowledging fans who are simply customers He won't do re-union of 1960's sitcom "the Likely Lads."My opinion (irrelevant here) is that is wrong because the "job" they and sportmen do is something ordinary people do for pleasure. You don't see them or anyone working in shops, factories and offices unpiaid to chill out. while others act, sing and do sport in leisure.

@abelseeman No it is NOT strange behavior. Many performers are by natures shy in social situations but are able to emerse themselves onstage and play. Carly Simon, Bob Dylan, Donald Fagan (of Steely dan), Tracy Chapman. ALL of them as well as JOE are shy. They are not into the social scene backstage, the yare interested in performing the music as best they can. Not unusual. Just dont make EYE CONTACT with them and everything is ok

[abelseeman]

@DavelovesRealMusic Hmmm, composing songs and performing them in front of thousands of people is rather strange behaviour for a shy man.

[DavelovesRealMusic]

@Choefoe He is shy and he is very guarded. That IS his nature. A friend of mine who owned a booking agency met with him in the erarly 90's o sign him for several club dates. He ans Joe to take a photo with him and his girlfriend and Joe got really annoyed and left. I guess he felt a personal invasion. Wasn't expecting to HAVE to take a photo. I can understand that.

[Choefoe]

@DavelovesRealMusic That last part is only more kudos to him haha;-) can imagine,He,s also a shy man, ,shy people don,t like to meet and greet to much with strangers,takes time to get to know them, let,s just enjoy the man,s music and let him be ;-)Cheers

[DavelovesRealMusic]

@Choefoe I double checked . If was After Show Irving Plaza NYC early 2004. Joe never said he loves his fans so he is what he is. I also saw him walking by Virgin records (closed now) on 14th St and I just waved..I didntr walk over..and he saw and ignored me....so he does not want any contact with fans. I guess he wont be doing the "meet and greet" VIP ticket package like so many others who over-price tickets to shake hands lol.

[Choefoe]

@DavelovesRealMusic Ouch,not very nice, without fans you can,t live as an artist if they all walk away and stop buying your music you can play in your livingroom. That comment was not nice too but well, at least he,s not a pray of his fans ;-) He,s cute on stage to the fans, not off stage. That,s private. That,s too close, that,s how I see it. I guess we,ll take it from him haha.
