To Jerry Butler, wherever you are

Jul 27, 2009 20:06

I guess I should make one thing clear right off the bat. I mean the porn star, not the singer. I don't know much about the singer. The porn star, though, is always going to be someone kind of special for me. No, not like that, get that one out of your heads right now. I guess he's kind of what you'd call mine and Golumette's mentor and role model, ( Read more... )

Damn, it's fun watching Albo get all riled up like that, I miss it, LOL antwisegamgee July 28 2009, 19:57:53 UTC

Funny, though, when we were younger and still living at home, it wasn't gays that got him fuming like that, it was mostly girls, go and figure. I think they had him so frustrated back then, he couldn't even think straight. Me, I avoided them, LOL, and focused my frustrations on sports ( ... )

You're right, I've been a big fan of his for years. And a lot of that is because he's got a fair amount of actual acting talent, which is rare for the industry. And it adds a whole lot of depth and dimension to his characters, which make them a lot more entertaining for us to watch. I know you guys really don't need it, nor do you need appealing looks or technique from the guys onscreen, any more than you need plot, dialogue or any semblance of a point in most "guy movies" in general. You guys will generally go nuts and rave about movies that are two solid hours of car chases, gun battles and things being blown up, without caring whether it makes one iota of sense or not. And most of you have the same tastes in porn. An hour or two of bodies pointlessly slamming into each other is entertainment enough, plot and dialogue and such are just something you tolerate to hold all that action together like glue ( ... )

OMG, his mother?! Are you serious?! When on earth was this?!

Yes, ma'am, his mother. I don't know whether you ever actually knew her or his dad, not many kids did, because he avoided ever bringing any friends home, because they both seriously put the funk in dysfunctional, even by Craptown standards. They were both alcoholics with serious mental problems, and his grandmother was the only sane force in his life. He told me after we'd met again as adults that she was the only real reason he ever lived past the age of five, and if not for her, he'd have died of abuse and/or neglect long before that ( ... )

I love this, she responds to everyone but me. ;-P

Seriously, I wish you'd tell all of us about that, because I don't think any of us ever knew. Mixter and I both knew he got sent up, but we never knew much about why. And I can't speak for anyone else, but I thought he was a damned good man, and I always wished I could of gotten to know him better. There was just something real likeable about him, even when he was busy being a hardass. We kind of clashed a little when we first met, but we eventually got along okay, once I realized how damned sharp and basically decent he was. He seemed to break a lot of rules when he had to, but he was better then most at doing the right thing in the end.

You're right, that was extremely common mentality back then, especially for guys. Get as many notches in that old belt buckle as possible, since everything about our culture at the time let you know that that was the best way to prove what a man you were. I never bought into it, but most guys I knew did. They'd brag about their conquests all the time, and I got a fair amount of razzing and needling for refusing to play that game. Plus every time I turned around, they were trying to set me up with someone "fun." So I had to lie and make up excuses to get out of a lot of fun gracefully ( ... )

Oh, yeah, you were a real pro. Which was why I had to teach you everything, LOL. The blind leading the blind, right?

I've always enjoyed braille, though...
