drscott..and I'm not talking about the irritating Disney song A*** likes to use for a singing call at ECR.
Talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
excessor yesterday, I mentioned Joe Gallagher (now barbering at http://www.joethebarber.com, but formerly minor-league porn star, leather community type, and workout partner of A***'s.) I've corresponded with Joe about David Feinberg, author of Eighty-Sixed and two other books of furious humor about AIDS -- Joe and David were friends for awhile in NYC. I didn't realize Joe was a star until I saw him beating on a guy in an S&M video last week (don't ask how I happened to be watching it!) -- this one: http://www.factoryvideos.com/factory/leatherfactory/leatherfactory.html.
As it turned out,excessor has had his hair cut by Joe, and his ex still does.
I dug up some memories of David Feinberg and put up a little shrine to him here: http://www.smxwl.com/feinberg.htm .

Date: 2004-01-05 08:45 am (UTC)David Feinberg is one of my favorite authors. He gave voice to the fun of being gay in the 80s, and to the abject horrors of what it was to have AIDS in early 90s. I cried for days after I read of his death—I felt as if I'd known him.
Listening to the audio file is to remember how good a writer he was. He often commented about how he liked some contemporary authors and not others. We had similar tastes: we both highly respected Ethan Mordden for his wonderful prose. It's nice that you have constructed this shrine.
