Judy Garland

You know, I think, me sitting up late with my laptop and all, that I think I qualify for platinum gay status.

My mother told me late in life that she had seen Judy Garland sing live in London.

"Oh yes, I went to see her and she was marvellous, the best I had ever seen," said my mother. 

So much so, that when Judy came back to London for some more shows, my mum bought her ticket and went excitedly to see Judy sing again.

"Oh, no, the second time someone actually had to come up on the stage and take her a way, she was in a bad way," said mum. "It was very disappointing."

So, I reckon that qualifies me for platinum gay status.

Funny the things you think, when you are awake at 3am.
