When I first started watching Python, I decided I wanted to meet Graham. Then I look online to find that he had kicked the bucket, so they say. Now, if only he had the decency to send me a postcard for denying me the chance of meeting him...
@ZenFox02 жыл бұрын
This will sound pathetic, but I always considered myself a Python fan, having watched the show and films as a kid and teenager. Today, I stumbled across a John Cleese interview, and feeling nostalgic, started watching other Python interviews. I was just wondering what Graham Chapman is up to, when I just now learned that he had died. Is it strange that I should feel upset, 32 years after the fact?

I suppose you just have to accept the whole person, including the private demons (which are no business of us, the public, anyway), be very grateful for what's left of them on film and video like this, and then move on.

Perhaps not in the popular consciousness as LGBTQ+ issues are today, but the rainbow or pride flag dates back to at least 1978, two years before this 1980 interview. I can imagine Graham had some awareness of it, and wore it as a nod to the community. Although use of vibrant color was also coming into vogue with the growth of Hip Hop and New Wave at this time. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT)

People should realise that no matter if you are good looking, gay, straight, rich, educated, you can still struggle with alcoholism. Not only the man you see on streets can struggle, many people struggle... He was much more than a gay brave man.
