Why are people hating on Donahue? Yeah, he's a little all over the place but Michael Alig, himself, said that Donahue was a giant hippy who gathered all of the club kids for a group hug before the show and told them that he wasn't going to shame or degrade the club kids. He also is playing devil's advocate because this is a TALK SHOW...the host has to play every card. It's plainly obvious whose side he is on the whole time.

Bc you only see him for a few moments on camera, and everyone acts differently with a camera suddenly shoved into their faces plus they're trying to work. He was probably different when they were really partying on drugs and in private among closer friends. Running around a club schmoozing with guests for a few minutes at a time is going to be boring of course. The real fun happened after hours and in private convos and parties. Plus he was a party promoter, so he set all props up, came up with wild ideas, sent invites, etc., so he really was the ringleader. He's the one who took control and led the parties. He spent a lot of time running around doing sound checks, making sure everyone got in, had drink tickets, any complaints when to him, etc. He was busy until the parties finally wound down.

Maybe they'd sleep in on Sunday, but only a few people on that stage made any kind of life or living out of clubbing. The rest of the people on that stage came along for the chance to put on clothes and makeup and go on TV to promote Tunnel for free, and to get on Peter Gatien's good side (he's since been jailed for tax evasion and - bc he's a Canadian citizen - banned from the US). The woman on the phone who said Peter was exploiting the kids was right, of course... and Phil is an idiot for defending a club owner who made his living on the backs of "club kids" as young as 13.

Okay, to those young people who don't know: Phil Donahue was the original talk show and host. He wasn't like the ones, today, where they showcase tabloid-type fodder without really having much to say about it. Donahue was actually a journalist. It was his job to play "devil's advocate," to get to the bottom of why people behaved the way they did and what happened as a result. He did it to and for every single person who ever graced his stage. The only reason he left television was because he retired-he didn't have to. People responded to his actual journalism. I miss it.

Michael, was obviously quite high, Richie was probably high too but he was totally being Richie. Michael just wanted more attention...and let's face it, Donahue was a horses ass-he was rude, arrogant, self serving and boorish. James certainly had the most command of the situation. But think about it, the format of this show was totally about riling people up, those on stage and in the audience and Phil was a master at pissing people off to the point of making them look foolish, and if he couldn't make them appear stupid and out of control he would make some back-handed comment under his breath to the camera to make a lame point that the guests/audience members were the ones lacking in judgement. Donahue was a dickwad.

Also I think that back then the only mainstream pop culture representation of "gay" culture was RuPaul and maybe Paris is Burning. To the club kids, who were more part of the high art/ club scene, I think they sort of resented the 'of course RuPaul gets brought up, that's the only version of gay culture these straight people can compute.'
@FreakFranOliveira9 жыл бұрын
***** RuPaul became famous and got into pop culture, but he was not club kids' mentor... in fact, he decided to go to New York because of the club culture.... and just like JPlovesmusic said, maybe they resented how RuPaul became a reference because he's a "computable" version of drag culture... 1993 was the year Ru exploded, actually

This is such a cool time-capsule. I love the girl at 6:10...her eyes are lit up by this; you can tell she's loving it. I'm a straight guy(not even a little bi), but I adore gay culture and everything tangential to it. It's liberating and *_creative_*. And it's hilarious to see the faces on all the older people in the audience; they have no IDEA what to think of all this. I can't imagine how shocking it must have been for them in 1993. What's funny is...all the audience members' fashion/aesthetic look pretty *_strange_* now in 2015....while the club kids *_still_* look cutting-edge creative.

I was just 9 years old when this aired but I remember watching it and living in NYC at the time I remember the fashion, music and era well. I used to always pass the limelight and think as soon as I'm a teenager or old enough to get in I'm going! Unfortunately the scene changed a bit and limelight closed by the time I was old enough to experience it.

I was ten years old when this aired....and I remember this show and Guess what I became... It all turned into eat, sleep, rave, repeat. Did anyone else get chills when Angel spoke. These people really did change the way mainstream was viewed. Of course we ended up having to go underground for awhile because of all the bad press but no press is bad press. Now Candy Kids and Club Kids have taken over the EDM scene and we have events like Electric Daisy Carnival, SnowGlobe, and Nocturnal Wonderland. one of the OG female club kids died in Miami from an OD (thought it was Jenny but I'll have to look that person up) and of course the infamous murder of angel. It does start as just pure good fun. I've been in the scene for 16 years. I survived.
