    This was the late 70's. When gay and straights partied and mingled. There was a lot of nose candy!

    This is a crossover I didn't think I needed in my life... Village People and The Playmates, partying together and dancing to disco, in the '70s. Also Dorothy Stratten/Star 80 and Glenn Hughes/Leatherman seem made for each other @6:10.

    I loved this song when I watched this. I was 7, and my aunt was babysitting me. She was 12 yrs older than me. So she was one of the fun aunts😂. I was dancing (jumping). Wishing it wouldn't end. Now I can see it whenever!

I seen a video of him and he has to stand still now because he's way too fat to move, lol

    I never heard of this song Rock n Roll is hear to stay until seeing this video. I love the song and the performance. Village People know how to put on a lively performance. They should have won an award for this song. If this video was back in the late 70s, I was just a teenager then, but I would have enjoyed being there. Everyone was having a blast. Those were the days.

      Glenn Hughes was the sexiest one of all, and he was a real biker with his own Harley, Randy Jones, the cowboy was my 2nd favorite. I'm glad you didn't mention Victor Willis, (the first lead singer), after Victor Willis got out of prison and fired everyone but Alex, I haven't had much use for him. Plus he's so fat that he can hardly move now plus he can't sing anymore. If Ray Simpson would of been able to stay, the original Village People would of lasted alot longer than what they did. I liked Ray Simpson alot better than Victor Willis.

    This period seemed to be the birth of progress for us. The closet doors were opening in many areas. Then came 1980’s. I know that things can regress at anytime. However people now can find all sorts of gay images. Back then no internet or You Tube.

    • @rtususian
      @rtususian 2 роки тому +1

      Yeah once Reagan took office a lot of the progress gay people made went down the toilet and reverted back to the 1950s. I always found it very suspicious that just as gay people were becoming accepted in the late 70s, AIDs began in 1981 and it seemed to affect only gay MEN and not even LESBIANS. Sounded like something the government created to get rid of gay men, but leave the lesbians alone since most straight men LOVE lesbians.

    I almost feel like apologizing for the continued "thanks" since I've given them on so many of your video uploads, but I really do appreciate them so much. These are important historical records that might otherwise be lost, so thanks again. Now it seems like all you need is to be untalented, blond, and do irritating schoolyard chanting to be popular. (I'm so proud I didn't mention Taylor Swift by name, because that would be poor taste.). Thanks for sharing cultural highlights and historical insights yet again.

      Yo! That's what I noticed from the start of this video. That there is pure unadulterated black face, an exaggerative caricature of black people. These fools just had to go there, it's so evidently clear.
      Now here comes the denials: "why does everything have to be about race" mantra? Yes! it's all about race and always has been. White folks just can't seem to help themselves. They see black folks having fun they have to inflict some pain into the mix. Yeah, I said that.
