About the Author :
Randy Jones was the original cowboy in The Village People. The band, perhaps best known for hits like Macho Man and Y.M.C.A, sold 50 million albums, earned 45 Gold and Platinum record certificates around the globe, performed in worldwide tours, starred in its own camp classic film, and made the cover of Rolling Stone. Since leaving the band in the early 1990s, Jones has continued a career of stage acting and music performance. Since 2004, he has starred with Cathy Rigby in the musical Meet Me in St. Louis and also starred in two stage musicals in New York City, Sodom & Gomorrah: The Musical and I Want to Be Rosie, about the life and career of Rosemary Clooney. He debuted his solo act in Trump's Taj Mahal in 2005, and in the fall of 2006 released his first solo album in 20 years. Mark Bego is a professional writer who has authored 45 books involving rock n' roll and show business, with two New York Times bestsellers, a Los Angeles Times bestseller, and a Chicago Tribune bestseller. Bego's subjects have ranged from Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Monkees, and Bonnie Raitt, to Julia Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio. Bego also authored the Rock & Roll Almanac published in 1996. He has written articles for People, US, Cosmopolitan, Celebrity, and Billboard, was Editor-in-Chief of Modern Screen magazine from 1983 to 1985, and Film Editor for country music's Twang magazine in 1996 and 1997.

Review :
Musician and actor Jones and entertainment writer Bego have been close friends and business partners for 40 years, and have finally decided write a book together. They begin by surveying the changing attitude toward homosexuality throughout history and more specifically in American show business. Then they slow down take in more detail starting with Stonewall and the 1970s. Other topics include the Navy, the birth of disco, life after disco, important gay movies, and gay rock songs. a fine, detailed college-level pick for music and social issues collections alike.
