THE VELVET MAFIA: THE GAY MEN WHO HELPED SHAPE MIC THE 60S

This article will emphasise rock and roll songs wh a gay, bisexual, lbian, transgenr, androgyno, or crossdrsg theme. Some of the songs were nsired que progrsive durg the time they were released, when homosexualy was nsired a mental illns and crossdrsg was illegal. The song’s lyrics, which referenced homosexualy, were changed, to f to the nformist 50s mastream culture.

Mad About The Boy – Dah Washgton – Origally wrten by Noël Coward 1932 for mil revue Words and Mic, the song has a hidn gay meang. The msage behd this versn is that cema un all, and you n maybe even extend that to beg acceptg of other people, that gay or straight, we’re really not that different after all.

Noël Coward even wrote vers supposed to be sung by a bsman who is eher gay or bisexual about beg “mad about the boy” – ‘When I told my wife, she said “I’ve never heard such nonsense my life!

So he didn’t like the song beg a gay anthem, but once you release a song, ’s out there and people n terpret as they wish.

“Let me tell you about a place somewhere up a New York way, where the people are so gay” – sure gay at that time meant happy, but let have this one! One more though mak pecially sound like a gay song “Here’s a fella blue jeans dancg wh an olr queen who’s dolled up her diamond rgs and twistg the night away”. Sally Go Round the Ros – The Jayts – One terpretatn of this song is that Sally is gay and she is upset that her csh is gog wh another girl.

While didn’t happen on their stud versn of the Bo Diddley song, happened durg a live performance for the BBC on Christmas Eve 1964, years before homosexualy was legalised the UK. Davi himself later said that the theme of the song was “more about mararie than homosexualy, but then borrs on that. Still, people have terpreted as havg a gay theme sce he mentned that an terview when the song me out and even mentned that he would be gay if he wasn’t wh his wife.

In my opn, this lyric uld also be homoerotic: And who’s go’ to be the one to say was no good what we done? You’ve Got to Hi Your Love Away – The Beatl – One terpretatn of this song is that ’s about their manager Brian Epste, who was gay, but hid public.

Alone Aga Or – Love – Not officially a “gay” song, but a iend of me said take a look at this lyric, ’s a bisexual anthem!
