Go West: I love you
Archive: Listening
Listening again to one of the Pet Shop Boys various renditions of Go West. It is indeed a fine gay anthem. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was a Village People song. I've never managed to feel that the Village People were anything more than the Uncle Toms of gay history. Exploiting gay imagery for a buck.
Together your hand in my hand, together we will make the plans.
Many a gay man must've felt an Amen! Surge through him as he held his lover's hand.
I love you, I know you love me; I want you happy and carefree.
There's a tough stunt. Many relationships don't make carefree easy or even achievable.
Were they talking about moving to San Francisco?

I'm a happily gay atheist. Homophobic, racist comments and conversion attempts are deleted.
Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
This is a personal hobby and shouldn't be confused with a more general sort of public forum or chatroom. you'd like to know more about me check about page.
