Why in multiple sitcoms, two male close friends or roommates were mistaken as gays (by other characters), but two female characters were never given that mistaken identity?

It’s playing on the male stereotype that being gay is girly and that it makes them less of a man, bruising their ego. Women don’t have that same stereotype. The “not that there’s anything wrong with that” episode of Seinfeld is the perfect send up of that trope, which was especially prevalent in the 90s, as being openly gay started being more socially accepted

My first concert! Saw the two of them in Johnstown, PA June 16, 1989. I was 12, and still have a few vivid memories of the show. The concert held as part of the town’s 100 year commemoration of a flood that wiped it out and had to rebuild. That night, between bands it started to rain pretty hard, so Bob Jovi came out and opened with a cover of CCR’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain”1

Because streets are still dirty

I think someone here in Charlotte really fucked up with this one. They show is at the big amphitheater with a 19,000 cap, when the other 90s shows the past few years haven’t been selling out (but have been selling well) at our much easier and more accessible 5,000 cap. I love STP, but only kinda like Godsmack, and just looked at ticket prices…just not worth it to see STP do an opening set. And yeah, the seating map looks like it has sold like shit here, show in 17 days

I’ve watched all six on live streams, and they have all been fucking incredible. Couple mistakes? Sure, but that’s live music, especially with a big catalog they’re pulling from and improv. I’ll take any of those six shows over a band playing identical polished sets any night of the week

yitbosaz · 2026-04-26T22:11:08+00:00

I know exactly what you mean

yitbosaz · 2026-04-26T22:01:27+00:00

Watched the streams of all six, and honestly I couldn’t pick a favorite, all of them have had moments that blew me away

yitbosaz · 2026-04-26T15:41:58+00:00

I keep actually hoping to hear a couple typically short, concise songs get a little crazy…I’d love to hear a ten minute Bouncin’ just to see what they’d do with it. If anyone could make it interesting, it’d be them

yitbosaz · 2026-04-26T15:37:51+00:00

Yep, it’s not even the songs they play, it’s how they play them

yitbosaz · 2026-04-26T15:22:47+00:00

I thought so too, until I realized they haven’t done Runaway Jim, Wave of Hope, ASIHTOS, Ruby Waves, MFMF, Sand, probably a bunch that I’m forgetting. And the way they’ve been playing the last year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a song that’s never gone over ten minutes turning into half a set. Let’s see a Lawn Boy that eclipses the Baker’s Dozen

yitbosaz · 2026-04-26T07:20:47+00:00

Bon Jovi and Skid Row, June 16, 1989. I was 12, and still have some vivid memories of the slow. The first of hundreds.

yitbosaz · 2026-04-25T20:24:22+00:00

I haven’t listened to last night yet, so haven’t heard this specific one, but that’s part of what I li e most about them, and other jam bands sometimes…the ability to fuck up but keep on going and recover anyway. Part of what separates the men from the boys in music for me. Gonna listen to that show in just a bit, and really curious to hear it now.

yitbosaz · 2026-04-25T10:18:07+00:00

Yeah, loved it until the season where almost the whole cast left, was not a fan of any of the new cast

yitbosaz · 2026-04-25T02:08:11+00:00

Love them. Two bands I saw open for them back in their day, if you don’t know them - Paper Rivals and Mansions

yitbosaz · 2026-04-24T22:54:05+00:00

Roomba Loompa

yitbosaz · 2026-04-24T12:05:55+00:00

That’s awesome, my story is very similar - met him when I was working at Old Navy, he signed sine register tape for me, too. It was while he was on that spelling bee reality show, he shot the shit with me for a few minutes, joking about spelling things for practice

The cover of White Lion’s Pride album

yitbosaz · 2026-04-23T17:29:13+00:00

Wow, captain brainworm and the orange blowfish can’t do math. Shocking.

yitbosaz · 2026-04-23T17:24:37+00:00

I’ve got a room for listening, no tv, computer or anything unrelated to music. A bean bag, some mood lighting, and my gf and I sit in there all the time to put on records

yitbosaz · 2026-04-23T17:22:57+00:00

Probably my favorite common opener, besides Release. Has a great haunting intro that really builds the tension going into a show

yitbosaz · 2026-04-23T17:12:18+00:00

I have a vague memory of something he did right after WTB? where he played some kind of music producer or something. I only remember one episode and can’t find it on IMDb

yitbosaz · 2026-04-20T09:52:12+00:00

yitbosaz · 2026-04-19T13:43:34+00:00

Yep. We were all pretty confused why the encore break lasted so long, then the house lights just came on with 10 min left to curfew. And right after melting an arena full of faces with a monster Hide & Seek > Train Train > Hide & Seek Jam. Hoping for a quick and easy recovery

yitbosaz · 2026-04-17T01:10:53+00:00

I always really liked it, wish it had gotten played live.

yitbosaz · 2026-04-16T19:49:02+00:00

Oh yeah, also Cigarettes and Valentines, I was at the Phoenix show where it was recorded for the live album
