[Mael-list] Re: Mael-list Digest, Vol 16, Issue 7

Sat Jun 24 09:21:14 PDT 2006

I remember hearing that the Bates' Motel keyboard player (les?) was outed in 
the early 80's, mainly because he liked to drink, and the maels' did not.   
I'm sure there was more to it than that, but it's a subject I have always 
thought about in the context of pop music.  I've noticed that most bands I 
like to listen to have a laissez-faire attitude about alcohol and drugs, and 
consequently not only don't preach about their "evils", they rarely mention 
them.  I didn't even think of "Tits", which is a drinking song, of sorts.

If they didn't inhale, then I might lose respect for them.  Kinda like a 
president I could name.
