Status Quo covered Don't Stop on an album with that name, the first of 2 albums of covers they did in the 90s.

Didn't Christine once say (a long time ago) that Francis Rossi and Rick Parfit looked like a "couple of f*ckin ponces" Gail |

Yes, I think she did. I don't remember the exact interview though. It definitely sounds like something she'd say.

the interview was reasonably recent but the comment was made sometime in the sixties. Gail |

You're right. Now I remember. I guess that interview is gone forever now. At first I thought that interview might have been from that "Hollywood poofers" interview.

Hey, I love Chris A LOT--as everyone here knows. But I've seen/read a few homophobic statements from her that piss me off...there's that negative lesbian comment from a 1976 (?) People Magazine article, and then there's the flamboyant video producer in the Love Will Show Us How video (hardy har har)...and now this? Hey, I don't love--or even like--Status Quo, but come on. She's got to know a large number of gay men love her. And many of those gay men are pretty darn feminine.

I agree that the lesbian comment in People Magazine was unecessary but it honestly did not occur to me that the producer from Love Will Show us How was supposed to be gay. I don't think that a couple of comments, the last one being more than 30 years ago, makes a case for Chris being homophobic. Gail |

By the way, that guy in the "Love Will Show Us How" video was Paul Bartel. He was gay & eventually died of AIDS. Last edited by macfan 57; 04-11-2007 at 03:14 PM.. |

I think sometimes political correctness can go too far. We have local councils in England not wanting to have "Christmas lights" in case that offends muslims. It doesn't actually offend the muslim community at all but some one clearly thinks it would. It can be taken too far but on the whole I think things are better now. I can't speak for Christine obviously but I think the "ponces" comment was made as a reaction to their stage clothes which were a little effeminate when they are not effeminate men. So I would say she thought they were trying to look like soemthing they weren't. Just my opinion. Gail |

My band was about halfway through "Can't Get Enough" and it was obvious that we weren't going to END the song anytime soon, so I just started singing the chorus of "Don't Stop", we ended up doing two verses and two more choruses, THEN segued back into the Bad Co. song for the end.

Wasn't John dressed up as a Nazi stormtrooper in that same photo? The whole BAND wasn't PC.
