@[mmmmean:48290] You nailed it. It's about the "special friend " coming out while the protagonist likely identified as a straight man that has sex with men. So common before our era |

@[JenniferF:48219] Correction: Gaucho was released 43 years ago in 1980. There was no AIDs until a couple years later. Also it was common at this time for men to identify not as gay but as straight men having sex with men. Remember Harvey Milk ran his campaign for SF city council with a push for people to come out of the closet. JenniferF |

After 23 years nobody has figured this one out. Until now. Gaucho is about a man trying to come out and his friend telling him to "Try again tomorrow" The Custerdome is the Capitol Records building where the top floor is the recording studio. Hence, "your friend will never be welcome here High atop the Custerdome" And never forget who Custer was and what he did to the native Americans. Graduating bottom of his class at Weat Point he routinely slaughtered women and children until the Battle of Little Big Horn. |
