Billy Zane....isn't he gay?

note--when I began writing this I thought JC was saying the fact that BZ
is dating Madonna made him gay. As I re-read this, he's not saying that
at all. But I think I'll leave all the stuff I wrote below anyway,
because I think it's kinda cute:
Dating Madonna makes you gay? So Warren Beatty is gay? Sean Penn is
gay? Dennis Rodman is gay? Carlos Leon is gay? Oh let's just save
time...25% of the male population is gay? If you're already gay and you
date her, do you become straight? Hmmm...."dating Madonna makes you
gay"...is this in the FAQ or the anti-FAQ? Hey wait...I have an idea
for a new version of an old TV series...let's call it "The FAQ's Of
Life."

I think what JC meant was: Billy Zane now shaves his head, therefore he's
gay. I'll go one step further; Bald equals gay.
I think he's right....Elton John....Yul Brenner....Fred Mertz....my
mother-in-law after her chemo....my brother in just a few more years....
All obviously GAY!

The deal is...
dating Madonna is no guarantee of heterosexuality in a man. Or a woman.
I have no idea if Zane is gay or not.

Is it Billy Zane Gay or Billy Zane Grey?

Is that Western writer still around? I can't really remember his
name, but it was something like Zane Grey? Many years ago, when I
was a fresh-faced little idiot and working at a library, there was
this reader who borrowed two Zane Grey books *every* day.
There was enough books to keep this chap happy for a long, long
time.
So is Zane Grey still alive?

Forking hell! I always thought he was from the Sidney Sheldon school.
I mean, one of those guys who got rich from writing in the 70s. Hm, I
should have checked the copyright page.
Thanks for the info. Although, the name of the town beamused me.
Lackawaxen is a quite...unique name for a town.

Catty,
Complete volumes of Zane Grey westerns were sold on the back of
comic books I read as a kid. I never read one of them. But Zane
Grey invented nearly every convention that was used to death by
the movie and TV westerns that eventually exhausted the genre.
Grey created the Box Canyon, "cayuse" as a name for a horse.
He invented the name galoot. Listen to some of these titles:
Riders of the Purple Sage, The Hack Knife Gang. These books
were the rootinest tootinest God Damn things anyone had ever
seen when Grey began publishing them. They are really good,
even if they have since been reduced to cliche. A German Western
writer named Carl May imitated Grey with just as much success, though
he had never been west of the Rhine. No problem, Grey never left
Ohio either.
Now, would you like to talk about Max Brand?

God, no! Please don't mention Barbara Cartland, Jilly Cooper,
Rosamund Pilcher, Danielle Steel, Dick Francis, Catherine Cookson,
Sidney Sheldon, HE Bates (especially during the TV series of "The
Darling Buds of May"), Tom Clancy, Ruth Rendell, Wilbur Smith, David
Nobbs, George MacDonald Fraser, Agatha Christie, Jack Higgins or
Barbara Taylor Bradford either. I hate John Irving as well. Damn. I
can't believe I can still remember their names and the book covers.

Wasn't there an recent attempt by the Sri Lanka govment to get him for
pedophilia? He was always rather open about the availability of cute

Yup. I posted some information about it not long ago.
Clarke was cleared of all charges. The 'victims' fessed up and said
that they were paid to make up the molestation charges.

Nothing personal. I like his books myself, but it is just that I got
so sick of seeing his books across the library counter that to this
day, I can't stand seeing his books or his name again.

AZ, in the Tonto Basin, where Zane Grey did some of his writing. I didn't know
Ohio was part of Arizona.

Not gay at all - he was interviewed by Out when he did the Phantom - he's
not gay but very gay friendly - even says he finds the attention from gay
men flattering - not the least bit threatened by it.

That's different. Being a librarian, you get to do things whatever you
want. Being a library assistant, that is to deal with the mad public.
Ever had a reader coming up to asking you this: "I can't quite
remember the title or the author's name, but I read it once. It is
about a young woman meeting a blind doctor in Spain. I think her
name was Fleur de Florette. Or de Flowerette. She is a florist. Can
you find this book?"
Or an elderly chap coming up to you, throwing a book at you, snapping,
"That is a *filthy" book! How *dare* you! To have this disgusting book
in this fine library! What on earth is this world coming to? Why, when
I was a young lad...."
Or a little kid throwing up in the Junior/YA section, and I have to
clean it up.
ObGossip: the only celebrity that visited the library regularly was
that chap from Blue Peter. Peter, I think his name was. Peter Logan?
Deffo Peter, but can't remember his surname.

I'd rather deal with public library patrons than some of the
people I have to deal with who ought to know better but who don't.
Always did like user services and reference. It's a bit like detective
work. I can see where it could get on a person's nerves after a while
though if you get too many of that kind.

Had a teacher who protested long and loud because we had the
Mercer Mayer book called "I Have to Go" which includes the blasphemous
word pee. I remember saying that children do not use the word urinate
and pee was not the same as piss. It was quite innocouos/

I work in a school library. Been there, done that <g>> As a matter
of fact, took my own son to a Halloween party at the school and he
christened the carpet of the boardroom after eating too many sweets.

Sorry, don't have my Dewey Decomal books nearby <g>. 821 is
literature of some sort. I know 833 is where you find Shakespeare.
