In 1980, my father did police detail for Liberace. He rolled down his window and said, "I love a man in uniform!" Then blew him a kiss. My father said it was pretty adorable.

@frowlinian81755 жыл бұрын
@AllGuts NoGlory what do you mean resources are dwindling? First off you can legit just buy the exact same cars he bought but I dont get what you mean by fancy cars look like cheap cars unless you've only seen the mainstream Lambos. Him pulling up in the Rolls Phantom would be like if somebody pulled up in a Bugatti Centodieci today... And there are definitely entertainers that have similar houses to his; all you need to look at is an episode of MTV Cribs. His clothing has never been tasteful IMO but look at people like Conor McGregor... I'm pretty sure he even has a Rolls Royce to boot... there are plenty of people that live like he does and flaunts it; the only difference is Liberace was gawdy to say the least and today's entertainers only like to show the appearance of wealth; regardless if they actually have it or not which weakens all of it since people who are actually wealthy began living more tastefully since flaunting it just makes you look like a tool
@frowlinian81755 жыл бұрын
@AllGuts NoGlory you've said alot... mostly about fashion which I dont know much about; I wear exclusively tshirts and jeans except for the rare polo or something... but as far as cars go; the 80's and 90's were the absolute worst year for styling because they didnt have any... everything was generic box then bubbly blob; theyve just started to become more unique... but the way car styling goes is in phases, go back to the 30's and even if you dont know that car you might know its era; 30's were big round fenders, long hood etc. 40's were smaller versions if that but more... consumery? They were smaller and had more subtle styling. 50's were more low profile and rounded edges with certain styling cues (fins, bullet lights etc etc). 60's were big engines in big beefy cars, 70's were low and long with sharper edges with a focus on comfort. 80's were generic boxes, 90's were bubbly blobs, naughts were bubbly with sharper edges, and between than and now theres been a huge push for eco friendly which results in the sharper edges mixed with the flowing lines... every decades' styling is dictated by what a consumer wants... back then they didnt give a fuck about fuel economy which is why cars like the Mustang exist... then they did and the Mustang II exists... Point is is that itll always come back around; in 30 years there'll be someone saying exactly what you're saying... "cars in 2040 are bland and generic.... I wish we had good cars like the 2019 CTS-V" "fashion back then actually had style, nowadays everything's just mass produced and cheap"... there'll be a girl crying about being born in the wrong generation while clutching a Taylor Swift CD... this has happened throughout history about everything imaginable. People are inherently conceited and nostalgic with the need to go against the status quo...

My grandma dragged me off to see Liberace one time while I was visiting. I was eleven and had no idea about gay or camp or anything like that. It was like watching a cartoon. Because he was touring Canada he had an RCMP red serge uniform made. It was covered in sequins and the yellow stripes down the pant legs lit up. I laughed when he said his famous line "excuse me while I slip into something a little more spectacular." He really was larger than life.

He shares the same birthday as my little brother who does from leukemia back in 1983 (May 16, 1980 was my brothers bday). Liberace was certainly one who knew what they wanted and was wise enough to know just how to get it. Everyone straight and gay should be able to respect that. Although I am straight, I must say that Liberace publically paved the way for the lgbt community in a very tasteful and elegant way. And he did so without walking down the street naked or wearing assless chaps. The man was a genius.

Liberace was known to have sued for libel whenever a tabloid would attempt to "out" him, when he was very clearly a homosexual. And moreover, everyone seemed to know it except perhaps for the little old ladies that were his biggest fans. I can only speculate, but I really think that he when he sued for libel, he did so not to protect his own reputation, but rather to protect the sensibilities of those little old lady fans. He was a bit full of himself, but I think he really did love his fans.

That would be a sight at Safeway. But I had a real experience. I was bell ringing for the Salvation Army in the mid 90s or so during the Christmas fund raiser in Brookfield, WI., a near suburb of Milwaukee. We have a grocery store chain here called Pick n Save, and while I was ringing, a guy, looked like in his 60s, drove up in a Rolls to shop. If I recall correctly, it was a hunter green color, didn't get the model, but one of the standard models of the time.

He did 56 sold out shows in a radio city music hall. He was bigger than Elvis when he had his own TV show. At 65 he was still entertaining people packing the house. He was an approachable, generous person if you watch more about the man. All the while being the highest paid entertainer in the world. Back then maintaining a straight image was critical to his marketability. and the continuation of doing what he loved. I think anyone who wants to say he was this and that who had this and died of this. Is kind of sad. Because he was much more. And likely those saying that will never achieve the kinds of success that he did. or pass this life leaving 115 million dollars in the bank. No more likely keep working a 40 hour work week and criticiising people trying to point out the worse in people to make your self feel better.

I love his act. The classiest unclassy performance ever. Obviously a great musician but I love the way he would openly and unashamedly parade his extravagance for the whole world to see - but at the same time genuinly wanting to connect with his audience and give them a great night. Just a shame he couldn't be so open about his sexuality - but they were different times and wouldn't have been acceptable in his younger years and by the time it was acceptable; I guess he must've felt it was too late to unravel the lie. I was way too young to appreciate his performance back in the day, but thanks to KZbin can now enjoy watching this hugely talented; warm and entertaining man !

His voice and kinda the way he speaks reminds me of my grandfather. As a young adult he came to Milwaukee from Bavaria in 1951. I miss him so much. Wonderful man, also very successful in life. I could listen to Liberace talk all day.
