A Lot Of Donna Summer And Things

I'm Not Gay, And I'm Not A Transvestite.

I Started Going To Madame Louise's, The Lesbian Club Where All The Punk Bands Used To Go - The Sex Pistols, The Clash. I Remember Seeing Billy Idol Walk In There; He Was Gorgeous.

We Changed The Name From Sex Gang Children To Culture Club Because Jon Moss, Our Drummer, Went To L.a. On Holiday And Took Some Demo Tapes With Him. -everyone Loved The Music But Nobody Liked The Name. I -remember Getting A Postcard From Jon From L.a. Saying, "i Don't Think America's Ready For The Sex Gang Children."

The New Romantic Scene Was So Tiny. Although It Got Lots Of Mileage In The Media, It Was A Really Small Club With Only A Core Group Of People. As It Got More Popular, Kids Started To Come From The Suburbs All Dressed Up, But It -really Wasn't As Big As It Looked.

For Me The Most Interesting Thing About Leigh Bowery Was The Way He Used His Body As A Style Statement. He Was A Big Guy, But, Because He Was Tall And Had Long Legs, He Looked In Proportion - Even Sexy - Despite Being Overweight By Conventional Standards.
