Oh god, it was a heady time. Late in 1978 as I recall. In San Francisco. I was in skin tight bell bottom jeans, an equally tight white t-shirt, platform shoes and a wonderful 1970's porn mustache. Yes, I was SMOKING hot!!! I was in a second story loft space watching a play called "Crimes Against Nature". How corn-holing gay can you possibly get???
Think of this thing as a totally gay precursor of "A Chorus Line" without the music, dancing and talent. I loved it, I think. Sort of. Maybe. Who knows, I was one some things...
The only scene I can remember is "Willy". He had a thing for Marilyn Monroe. He called her "Nadene". And he could smell her ectoplasm. Yeah, Willy was kind of crazy. Dare I say, "damaged"? He laid out a diatribe that was me. Heart and soul, me. He was a train wreck in slow motion with me driving the Cadillac. I bonded with that lost soul immediately. We woke up together the next morning. I didn't have a clue in the world who he was. We became drinking buddies. Such were the late '70's. That little fur ball drew me into his insanity... I treasure those times to this day.
Today I love street theater, guerrilla theater and smash you in the face kind of stuff. How delightful!!! It just doesn't get any better than that!!! Thank you for the ride!!!
