    It’s Officer Fabulous in the front – obviously, he is the law. Of course he needs to watch out for Hop-a-long Cassidy there on the left since he seems to be making a devious power play with his pistola.

    I’ve always wondered about who was in charge of the Village People. I’m going to go with Hirsute Harry on the left there with the crotchless (!) chaps. I almost went with the Indian as he is clearly the most macho of all and on top of the People Pyramid.

    I guess technically he’s on the right as you gaze upon their stellar disco-ness….

    Thankfully, each member is easily identifiable, so mentioning their correct placement within the photo is not as important as usual.

    Highway patrol man, oh yes.

    I shall now rest for a while to overcome this surfeit of stellar disco-ness.

    front-n-center is too cool for school, therefore in charge. the other five are mere minions vying for attention with their frantic antics.

    I recently took my son for one last game at the old Yankee Stadium. In the fifth inning, as always, the groundskeepers came out to sweep the infield and danced their ridiculous dance to “YMCA.” There they were, a bunch of paunchy, middle-aged, married lawn guys prancing around to a song that, apparently unbeknownst to them, was the most famous gay pride disco theme in the history of popular music.

    “Why is Derek Jeter ignoring the dancing men?” my son asked.

    “Because they’re a cultural nonsequitur,” I said.

    “Huh?” replied my poor, bewildered son.

    “DJ’s just concentrating on the game,” I said.

    The unstoppable march of the American pop culture Zeitgeist is in charge.

    no, i’m afraid to even think about these guys for fear of being sucked into that vortex of disco gayness.
    Don’t we have enough crisises in this country without dredging up that bleak past?
    Why splotchy why?! why do you hate America so?

    No, no, you’re wrong about this post. When I featured the Jonas Brothers I was doing my “I Hate America” post.

    This is my “I Love Gay Disco” post. And I do love gay disco, by the way.

    Hmm, just saw Jillian’s message…

    Well, if he didn’t have a moustache, I’d say the guy on the far left (cowboy dude) looks like me. I will repeat, however: I don’t have the moustache. This is very important.

    So I guess cowboy dude gets Jillian’s vote, then?
