wildstarr: imprimere: Is that a gay reference or a disco reference, cuz I know a whole lotta nuttin' 'bout both!?

I'm kinda confused at the headline as well. I know she was rumored to have said AIDS was god's punishment to the gays for being gay. But she denies she said that.

Translation: Disco is for gays, real men listen to rawk

BullBearMS: suthrnrunt: BullBearMS: At first I was afraid,
I was petrified,
When you said you had 10 inches
Lord, I almost died.
But I'd spent so many nights
just waiting for a man that long,
That I grew strong,
And I knew that I could take you on. . .

while this is amusing, learn your artists before you throwing comedy out there that doesn't apply :)

All of us aren't old enough for Social Security checks. Go work on your lawn. :oP

almost funny. but anyone with half a brain would check their sources before trying to apply comedy to a situation to make sure it's funny. guess that's why you are only funny in your own mind.

Your snark is misplaced. You should be grateful for the enlightenment.

And lots of post-70s and 80s folk know Ms. Summer's work.

ole prophet: What is going to happen when Gloria Gaynor dies?

A lot of quotes from Leo Sayer songs.

SweetSilverBlues: gulogulo: SweetSilverBlues: HAMMERTOE: SweetSilverBlues: To you and everyone else using those lyrics, Donna Summer did NOT do that farking song.

Gloria Gaynor, right?

Must...refresh...before...adding...

Yes, Gloria Gaynor. :)

Yeah, I was drawing a blank on her name. I knew it was Ms. Summer, but I almost blurted out "That's Aretha Franklin!" at which point I should have been shot.

Oh dear.

Your punishment is to wear strap-on roller skates while wearing a shiny nylon jacked with gold piping.

Seems fitting. Not sure anyone wants to see me in hot pants though.

Will be dimming the disco ball in remembrance....

Newsflash worthy?

Huh?

LawrencePerson: I would have gone with "Cold Stuff".

When I saw this news, I was about to submit a link with that headline.

ole prophet: What is going to happen when Gloria Gaynor dies?

It'll be nothing compared to Aretha Franklin. Mariah Carey will be inconsolable.

I guess enough - was enough.

/puts shades back on.

I was more saddened to hear yesterday that Chuck Brown had died.

"No idea who this is, don't care. No need for a news flash"


Not news: you're a dick.

RIP My fave ninja turtle

AngryJailhouseFistfark: Nina_Hartley's_Ass: CASEY KASEM'S AMERICAN TOP 40 - 2/14/76

This is an extraordinary compilation of contrasts: Genius and Suck-ass. It was a strange and terrible time for me, 1976 was, what with the bicentennial and the puberty and all.

I read that in Richard Dreyfuss' voice.

JackieRabbit: I was more saddened to hear yesterday that Chuck Brown had died.

and even fewer are going to know him and his go go life style that has stopped

i know bad pun.

RIP, Knights of Summer

Did George Zimmerman finally catch up to her?

DubyaHater: Just one more over-paid, no-talent "musician" who is now in the dirt. Good riddens. Looks like I get the last dance biatch

Speaking of Summer... this one's for you.

Everyone could have seen it with Whitney, she abused drugs and was failing at a come back.

But the Donna Summer cancer thing came up quick. Poor thing. I hope she didn't suffer too much. She was the best of the best of disco singers.

Rest in peace Donna Summers.

RIP Classy Lady.

Well, with the headline, the Gloria Gaynor references, and the fact that I thought Crissy from Three's Company had just died - this thread is EPIC FAILURE.

Good R&R was taking a beating about that time. Even some of the R&R bands were tampering with disco. It was a sad time.

The Banana Thug: RIP Aunt Oona from Altoona. Obscure?

Is that an Urkel reference?

At first I was afraid

/Then I got over it

RIP Summer Heights High

RIP great voice lady. She deserves eternal credit for making an awful. song like "MacArthur Park" listenable.

Also, I gotta laugh at the trolls whose musical tastes must be as varied as the playlist on their local "Classic Rock" station - y'know, the one that has "Money" &/or "Layla" in the rotation every 45 minutes for the last 25 years.

Trying to decide now if the "I Will Survive" references are trolls or demonstrative stupidity.

G-Rot: "No idea who this is, don't care. No need for a news flash"


Not news: you're a dick.

Why? Because they don't care that some pseudo-celebrity died? Most people who actually 'care' that some singer/actor/entertiner died, are seriously lacking substance in life.

I happen to agree that it is not NewsFlash worthy. NewsFlash should be reserved for something that actually affects your life in a meaningful way. If this does (and you're not a relative), your life sucks.

Uh...neat post TV's Vinnie...what's that got to do with this thread though?
