Dance for the Diva

Every gay man in the Free World and Underground Scenes who "came out" (and of age) in the disco ball's silvery sheen of the mid-70's have to be kneeling in surrender to the final acceptance that those halcyon days are officially over. The polyester suit with the ruffled wide lapel shirt that has been kept at the back of the closet for nostalgic purposes or Retro Halloween soiree's, should be brought out, dusted-off, and a Final Disco Prance should be in order to honor the passing of the one and only Queen Of Disco, Diva Donna Summer.

Unbeknown to most of us, the singer had been suffering from lung cancer and, kudos to her, chose to keep her struggle private. Sometimes it's better to curb the drama during illness if peace is what you want. Everyone is different in their illness process. Others need attention to buoy their spirits and immunity.

And boy, did she lift many a spirit in the days of dancing gays and straights who were happy to shake their baits!

No flogging today other than the unfortunate task of writing yet another post concerning the death of another music icon.

Keep dancing, boys and girls!
