The old queen has officially been relegated to history’s dustbin. Good riddance.

All that glitters isn’t gold.

[lurk]

Well that’s gay.

Wonder what his friend George thinks about all of this???

[John O]

These “museums” have always seemd to be an exercise in narcissism to me. Most of them have to reason to exist. Likelwise most presidential libraries. Turn that all over to library of congress.

Thay it ain't tho girlfriend!

[Doofer]

With all due respect, who gives a shit?

[OpusatFR]

Seriously? Awww...

I remember my mother enthralled by his talent. He was a very talented and a capable keyboard jockey.

As in all things, time passes and the old disappears.

Never knew there was a Liberace museum.

Well, I guess I shouldn’t send them a resume. :)

I remember we were on a family trip through several western states in 1966, and made a stop in Vegas. We watched Liberace perform at the Stardust. The man could put on a show!

[COBOL2Java]

Aw too bad. I would have liked to have seen it when I was in Vegas, didn’t get the chance. Heard it was a pretty good tourist trap.

I liked Liberace...He was a hell of a talent and I don’t remember him ever being political. Went to one of his shows in Vegas and the guy really got into connecting with the audience.I was pretty down on homosexuals at the time but it was really hard not to like the guy!!!

[fml]

Trelane on Star Trek was so kewl!

[GeronL]

I’m surprised it didn’t get any stimulus funding

[Zuben Elgenubi]

There is a recipe for Liberace’s Sticky Buns

[Bernard]

Obvious conclusion is that there are not enough homosexuals going to Las Vegas in order to support this icon's museum. Or, maybe there just aren't that many homosexuals in the first place.

[Paladin2]

Move it to Frank Barnies’ place.

I see it as bad management and marketing. They had what could with some imagination of been a money maker and turned it into a loss. In the spirit of Liberace they could of staged over the top wine and cheese parties at a good cover charge, sold silly promotional merchandise, in short they had a freaking ocean of campiness to utilize. He was all about promoting product, he would of been disappointed as a believer in free enterprise at the lack of imagination. Sure the few people who were his fans were diminishing but over the top campy silliness never really goes out of fashion.
