THE OBSERVER:
"Young man! Ever wondered what happened to the Village People? Ed Vulliamy traces the extraordinary story of the first gay superstar group, still touring after 30 years, with a trail of drugs, death and recriminations in their wake
a destacar:
So, after three decades, these are the unexpected destinations of canticles by the most iconic gay band ever: sporting events, vodka-popping wedding receptions, solemnly religious bar mitzvahs, primary school discos and aerobics classes. In 2004, then US Secretary of State Colin Powell delivered a karaoke version of 'YMCA' at a ceremony concluding a summit with Asian foreign ministers: 'They have everything for young men to enjoy / You can hang out with all the boys', indeed, Secretary Powell. Prince Charles and Nelson Mandela have shaken a bone to the same song. The Village People's hits, for all their bawdy homosexuality, have outlived tacky 1970s disco music like cockroaches after a nuclear attack. But what about the Villagers themselves? The best known of them bobbed up before Superior Court Judge Mark Forcum on 5 September, in San Mateo, California, at what he promised would be the end of a history of brushes with the law. This was Victor Willis, aka the original Village Cop, front man, singer, one of the band's heterosexual minority and lyricist of its most passable material."
