Next thing you know, they’ll be telling us that Nathan Lane is gay!

I have to admit, Nathan Lane is a very good actor. He played a straight role on "The Good Wife." So did Alan Cummings.

I set up an arena for one of his concerts back in the 80’s. He was a dick diva type and all his people were cowed into submission. Had to have everything a certain way or he would flip out on them. Saw it happen live about 4 times before and after his show.

Show was almost as bad as sesame street live.

At the time he was living large on that score.

Now...flying United it like taking the bus.

Try Emirates Airlines. Every one of their flight attendants is drop dead gorgeous, sweet as can be. Cabins are roomy, food is good, and simply a pleasure to to fly with them. Like the old days when flying really was fun.

Gee, who DIDN'T know Manilow was gay?

Though never a fan of his, I think the biggest disappointment was him thinking he had to tell people his sexual preferences. Nobody cares about you "coming out", Barry.

Now people will be disappointed. You should have just kept your mouth shut. Why do these people feel compelled to tell the whole world their private predilections?

Hold on. Is Barely Manenough actually saying he is homosexual? How can this be?

We all knew he was gay....My underlying assumption is that they ARE all gay, until proven otherwise.

That’s why I listen to Heavy Metal, no pooftahs there.

Now excuse me, I’m going to put on some Judas Priest.

Although they aren’t truly heavy metal, did you see the doc about the “Eagles of Death Metal: Mes Amis” and their return to Bataclan? Good doc.

Not shocking at all. In the 80’s, there were puns on his name.

Barely Manenough was the most popular....

Yes. And here is the fun part: Last year he married a very cute 32 year old Mexican girl in PV. They have worked together for a while.

I personally don’t get it. When I was suddenly single at 43 I tried dating girls/women in their 20’s and they are just KIDS. I have nothing in common with them other than the sex thing. I ended up marrying a woman six days younger than me and it’s been marital bliss LITERALLY beyond what I could ever imagine for 20 years now.
