I have a question. this is kinda U2 related...

[Party Girl_75]

If you were going to a local club in your hometown that had a live act that performed there on weekends, that so happend to have a guy that kinda looked like Larry performing, would you continue to patron the bar if they got rid of him because he according to the bar manager "was a threat to the club" and was replaced with a guy who was "Gay"?"

This is what is happening right now to my brother-in-laws band. They have a keyboardest who is just drop dead gorgeous who I think has some Larry qualities in him. I mean this guy has some serious man clevage, is blond and is just too hot! Apparently the bar manager and some male patrons are upset with this guy being on stage...the manager honestly thinks that if he were replaced by a gay guy that the guys in bar would feel less threatened. I think that is a load of crap and the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

I am just curious what some of your opinions are on this?

Hmmm... sounds like Mr. Gorgeous stirs something in these guys that they're afraid of. Losers.

May I ask why he is a threat? (Besides turning the other guys on, that is.)

Apparently the male patrons are very threaten by him because of his looks. I guess all of the ladies that end up going to the bar are more interested in looking at him instead of the other men that are there...*HAHAHA*...I know when I saw him, I could not keep my eyes off of him...I think it is very funny and stupid that the bar manager does not want the band to play at the bar unless the band dumps him...Oh well...I just wanted to get some opinions, because when my sister told me this, I got very mad, because they have a female singer on stage who looks like Shania Twain and the bar manager does not have a problem with her...It is such a double standard...I told my sister that the reasons from this man were stupid and I threw out the whole U2 analogy that "It would be like telling U2 that they would have dump Larry because he is too goodlooking!" I also thought of that quote in Bill Flannagan's book "We should have gotten a Ringo." If you are going to dump a band member it should be based on talent and attitude, not because of looks...
