6. I had the album 'Village People' Live and Sleazy,

and there was a picture with all these girls ripping off his shirt. I thought, damn! If the girls are gonna love me, I need to look like David the construction worker.

11. David the construction worker was really "Grease" Minelli

who is a sleaze disc jockey. At least, he was here in Atlanta for a while until they took him off the air. He claimed that he was the only one in the group who was not gay.

13. I thought the cop was married to Phylsia (sp?) Rashad in the 70's

I maybe wrong, saw it an E! show or something.

12. Absolutely!!!!

The "I Love You To Death" production number in Can't Stop The Music is pure porn.

Although, I have a crush on Glenn's moustache...


Khash.

14. Just the mustache? nt

[khashka]

15. Well

I like the leather, the chains and the chest hair and would like to get to know them better over dinner and a glass of wine. But the crush is definitely on the 'tache :)

Khash.

2. I had such a crush on the faux American Indian when I was a little girl.

I had no idea that he was unobtainable. I always dreamed I would marry him and have many little American Indian babies. :cry:

4. How cute is that.

hehehe

[Maddy McCall]

5. I still have a thing for American Indian men.

Especially those who try to preserve tradition in their manner of appearance.

Nothing gets me hotter than seeing an American Indian man with long locks. Whoo. I need a cold shower.

And it all goes back to my childhood obsession with the American Indian in the Village People. :D

Going For The Gold

A pop-music confection known as The Village People belted out disco hits in the 1970s that morphed into American standards

A visitor to the curvilinear stone mesa that is the new National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) would expect to find classic examples of the art and artifacts of the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere—intricately woven baskets, elegant pottery, kachina dolls, ceremonial masks, elaborately embroidered buckskins and carvings. And he would not be disappointed; the museum contains a trove of the emblematic, artful crafts that have in part defined the complex Native cultures of the Americas.

What you might not expect to find, however, is a gold 45 rpm record from the peak years of that curious musical tributary known as disco. The gold record commemorates the 1978 hit song "Y.M.C.A.," an antic anthem to life on the wild side by the Village People. Felipe Rose, son of a member of the Lakota-Sioux tribe, donated it to the museum. Known for his feathered headdress and war paint, Rose represents one of the group's six archetypal characters (archetypes, that is, according to France's Jacques Morali, a music producer who, along with his colleague Henri Belolo, created the novelty act). According to Emil Her Many Horses, an associate curator at the museum, Rose offered the record to mark his 51st birthday. Rose remembers just calling up the museum to ask about making a donation. "I didn't know how they would react," he adds. The curatorial council reacted by accepting immediately.

"We want people to see all aspects of Native American life," Her Many Horses says, "and Felipe's gold record helps tell the story of current Native involvement in popular music, not just traditional music."
