Mormon Donny Osmond says, "Some of my best friends are gay."
But he still supports Prop. 8.
He's a soldier of straight love.
I was in high school in Sterling, CO when this piece of crap came out and I would hang out all the time at my boyfriend's record store. My boyfriend owned the town record store, mobile DJ service, and the all-ages nightclub. It was cool because the club's DJ had standing orders to stop whatever he was playing and put on LL Cool J's 'Mama Said Knock You Out' anytime I came into the place.
I used to get into lots of fist fights.
My boyfriend looked just like The Nelsons - more horrible music-makers from 1989 - except, instead of long beautiful hair like The Nelsons, he had a mullet that was permed in the back.
It was a hot look for Sterling, CO in 1989.
Anyway, I remember seeing the listings for a new Donny Osmond record and thinking, "Really? Somebody gave Donny Osmond a record deal?"
And that's the story of Donny Osmond's 'Soldier of Love' and my boyfriend's permed mullet.
