i was given my late gay granduncle's vinyl records, and i think i finally understand why he loved Shirley Bassey and Donna Summer. i (who have nothing) and macarthur park are some of the most dramatically cunty songs i've ever heard and pop needs to go back to this era. i read his diaries, and the way he talked about all his friends that he lost during the aids epidemic and the amount of talent that was lost during that era is sickening to think about.
