I have watched the movie Giant (1956) in all its “3-hours-plus” entirety maybe twice, but I have seen bits and pieces of it literally dozens of times, usually while flipping through channels and landing on TCM where it seems they run it at least weekly. Sunday, I paused at the Christmas scene in which a gray-haired drunken Bick (Rock Hudson) counsels young Bob (Earl Holiman) on his future, while Angel (Sal Mineo) in his military uniform, waits just outside the door, all soon to be interrupted by the unwelcome arrival of Jett Rink (James Dean). That’s when I clocked that every actor in that scene was gay. Seriously, I’d never noticed that before. And now this –– 😉😉

What would our Sunday afternoon tribute to the disco hits of the 70s and early 80s be without including this definitive anthem from 1976. Those opening horns always sent us surging toward the dance floor, boyfriend for the night in hand 🏳️‍🌈

It was sexy, it was exciting, it was a hellava good time. 50 years on, I can still see the boys packing the dance floor in their button-up 501s and sweat-drenched tank-tops, with muscles rippling and mustaches bristling, lifting the roof off with every “ooh-ooh”. From 1977, the Disco-era dance-floor classic …. 🏳️‍🌈
