by Red WolfSpike had sent Andrew and Xander off to create a distraction, while he and Dawn dealt with the demon, but it appeared that the boys had gotten a little carried away.
"What on earth are they arguing about?"
Spike gave Dawn a short version of the long running argument. "Xander claims that Johnny Cash is the greatest country singer of all time, while Andrew counters that Johnny Cash is in a class of his own like Roy Orbison and James Brown."
"I wouldn't trust Xander when it comes to music, he still thinks the Village People were a straight act."

Personally I think a more minor tweak would be better — something like
Still, it is impressive even now that a bunch of (mostly) straight men felt perfectly comfortable playing the parts of various gay sterotypes and marketing themselves at the gay market, to the point where a lot of people assume they had to be gay. They must've found the only 5 secure straight men in the US. The only male performer I can think of right now who seems comfortable promoting himself in the gay market (among others), and who has played with gay sterotypes, is Robbie Williams. I half expect him to do a George Michael one of these days — via LiveJournal — posted by Feòrag at 10.09.2007 19:57 AEST |
he still thinks the Village People were a straight act. Emphasises the gayness of their image and marketing, and doesn't say anything about the sexuality of the performers.

That's what spins me out the most. I think I've just managed to love them even more.
There's a dancing show on the ABC that just finished for the year and they've had a couple of same sex dance partners. Usually the girls pair up because there's a lack of male partners, but everyone assumed the male pair were a couple. Both are dance instructors in need of a partner and figured,

Shame.
Once upon a time — 1995 — and set not too far into the future — 2063 — there was an amazing tv show (far too short lived imho) called Space Above and Beyond. Bad aliens, loyal marines fighting on planets with diabolical names and a plots within plots. I could get really carried away explaining.
Anyhoo guest appearance of hard arsed, Johnny Cash playing, marine Colonel Ray Butts who is apparently up to no good involves pancakes but if you really don't know it would take far too much explaining — via LiveJournal — posted by mad_jaks at 10.09.2007 20:03 AEST |

Maybe they should have set Andrew and Xander on the demon instead of leaving them to crowd control. Surely no demon could withstand a geek argument without spontaneously combusting.

This one time, I vote with Andrew. Johnny Cash transcends any one musical genre.

Johnny Cash is the only singer who could even be considered country that comes anywhere near my iPod. That's not for his choice of music, but his killer voice.
I'm confused by the pancakes too. Either it's a reference I've forgotten or an ad campaign that I don't get at my end of the world — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 20:10 AEST |

memory, or lack thereof
I don't think in terms of genre so much as whether I like the artist. Having said that, I'm forced to add that I don't know very many country artists; mostly just Cash, Garth Brooks and the Dixie Twits. Give me Norah Jones. Or Spike Jones. Or Tommy Lee Jones.
The ad idea is probably most likely pancake reference. But I've gotten e-mails before that caused me to scramble back into my history, trying to figure out what I said that the writer was talking about.

Oh yes, Space: Above and Beyond! Used to love that. Don't make me search for the videos, but yes there were pancakes. At the very end of that ep the Wildcards sent their breakfast pancakes into space as a tribute to the Cash-loving Colonel 'cos he'd died a black-hole. It was to do with something he used to say... dunno.
What does this have to to with Xander and the Village People?
