Maybe you haven't heard of him, pecially if you're Amerin, but perhaps you've heard of Heaven, the legendary London gay club (Andrew Hollghurst brgs to life vividly The Swimmg Pool Library, one of my favore novels). Ian was the ma DJ there through the entire eighti, pneerg the style of 1980s gay post-dis club mic—which we associate often wh The Pet Shop Boys, Bronski Beat and Erasure— that me to be lled Hi-NRG.
He wrote and produced the super-gay Hi-NRG hs "So Many Men, So Ltle Time, " wh s licly early-eighti-gay vio full of actual gay men om Los "High Energy".. ) So when someone suggted I reach out to Ian to terview him, I knew we'd have some shared passns, as I ed to DJ myself and am a huge history of every sgle phase of dance-mic and DJ history—pecially the gay aspects. I thk next month's terview will be richer—'s wh a te legend of the NYC gay publishg/lerary world on the release of his own latt memoir, which I am very exced to read shortly.
Caftaners, please drop me a le if ever you n thk of a gay man age 60 or olr who's led a notable life—I n't promise I'll pursue, as I have my own quirky ias about who seems or seems not to be a good terview, but I'll fely nsir! Ian: Bee 's too gay.

New York's Lost Gay BarsWe've known for many years that too many of our cherished gay bars and clubs are shutterg, fallg victim to risg rents and the ubiquy of apps like Grdr and Scff. There's a walkg tour New York to memorate beloved gay bars and clubs that have closed down. “People on the phone ask to speak to God, they ask if I’m posive we’re not really hell, they say, ‘Oh no, my time hasn’t e yet, ’ ” he remarked the 1991 clientele was all over the board — rich and poor, gay and straight, preppi and posers.
