RIP Macho Man
Okay, which one was he?
Rest In Peace, Victor.
black cop
The Cop.
He was the lead singer. He was straight used to be married to Phylicia Rashad
For some reason I thought the Indian was the lead singer.
Seems to be a lot of that lately.
He’s lucky to have made it this far from what I’ve heard.
I’m down to the last 30 days of my 74th year. May the “short, but aggressive illness” stay far away.
Lots of freepers - around 2005 to 2007 I'm not sure of the exact year - got that quick kill cancer. Kind of like what Rush Limbaugh got some years later
He’s the lead, so he’s the black cop.
May he rest in peace, and God bless the Vullage People.
Let’s not forget they were fine with Trump rallies having the YMCA and even “came out” for it.
Hint: they were not as homo as everyone wanted to think.
I think he was the first of The Village Pete to support President Trump’s usage of YMCA. Hopefully his doctors didn’t factor that into their treatment.
I didn’t know about that cluster of FReepers getting the big C back then.
At least he got to experience a reprise he never would have dreamed of.
From Pres. Trump...

Village People singer Victor Willis is dead at 74. He was a great and happy guy who loved that I used his groups song, YMCA, at my Rallies. It became a “monster” hit, again, 30 years after its original launch. Many singers and groups wanted to get on board at the Rallies after all of the Rally Attendance Records were set - The crowds were, and are, enormous - But Victor and the group was there for us right from the beginning! They loved the action, and we loved them and their great and uplifting song. We will think of Victor every time YMCA is played, like today, and all throughout this July Fourth Birthday week. My condolences to his wonderful family and group, Victor Willis will be sorely missed, God Bless Him!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Prayers from Mr. Willis, his family, and friends.
Decades later, I still love their music.
RIP Macho Man
