I thought the Village People were fantastic in 1980. I had a Can't Stop The Music tour poster on my bedroom wall - to be fair, I also had Status Quo, ELO, and Kate Bush up there as well. I went to the cinema and saw the movie. Twice. And Xanadu, for that matter. My eldest brother, eight years my senior, said, "You know they're gay, right?" "Yep. And so is Elton John and you have half a dozen of his albums." (Yeah, he was nominally "bi" then, but I was thirteen and that was close enough for the argument with my 21 year-old brother) Regardless of their implied sexuality - The Indian, for example, was camper than a row of pink tents, the majority, including Willis (The Cop) The GI, and The Biker, were, in fact, straight. Well, the original ones were, anyway. I couldn't tell you about subsequent members. Like many late 70s-early 80s disco groups (liek the lip syncing Boney M, or KC and The Sunshine Band, The Village People were a tour de force and their musical legacy is solid, with YMCA, In The Navy, and Macho Man and others still having a strong following. The movie Can't Stop The Music? No so much. Although, the then Bruce Jenner was in it...
