  Charles Nelson Reilly

I didn't know he was queer when I was a kid. I didn't know Paul Lynde was queer. I didn't know funny men doing that flamboyant thing were reflecting anything about sexuality.

When my buddy's brother reported having witnessed Neil Sedaka at a party asking Mick Jagger whether he could kiss his fingers, I dismissed the story as so improbable as to be certainly a lie.

I would have bet money I'd never seen a lesbian on TV.

Also, I hope Charles' death won't embolden Jim J. Buttocks to try once and for all to don the CNR tiara. Sir, you're no Charles Nelson Reilly!

I am unfamiliar with that particular Buttocks....

Jm J. Bullock was Monroe on The Ted Knight show and he's been trying to horn in on CNR for 25 years.
