Why I'm Not Going to the Church of Magnolia This Christmas on the Last Weekend Before Christmas There Seemed a Lot on TV That
Why I’m not going to the Church of Magnolia this Christmas On the last weekend before Christmas there seemed a lot on TV that made an impact on the Riley household. The legend that is Spit the Dog, who sadly no longer visits our TV screens enough, was on BBC 1’s Pointless. ‘Take That’ danced like The Drifters on Strictly but for me and millions of others Gary, Jason and Mark still shone. A one hour special on the late great Rik Mayall saw moving footage of him sharing his personal ‘mantra’ for life with students from Exeter University but the summit of the weekends viewing was the Fern Britton interview with the Rev Richard Coles. Richard who? The Reverend Coles is one of the former founding members of The Communards (you’ll remember Jimmy Somerville) who after a career of sex, drugs and debauchery gave it all up, went to church, liked it and now is a Parish Priest in middle class rural Northamptonshire. He’s Gay too. Richard said two things of immense clarity that brought together much of the mixed emotions I hold over church, faith and religion. The first was that the ‘blandness of religion’ kept him away from Church for so long. The ‘magnolia message’ we hear at Church when so many people, young and old, seek and desire colour from the world goes a long way to explain for me and for many others why we are not rushing though the local chapel doors on a Sunday morning. Lots of us believe.

Jimmy Somerville - the Official Biography
JIMMY SOMERVILLE - THE OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY The unmistakable voice of Bronski Beat and The Communards, featured on massive hits such as Smalltown Boy and Don't Leave Me This Way – it can be none other than Jimmy Somerville. Bronski Beat not only introduced the world to Jimmy's unique voice, their debut smash hit Smalltown Boy tackled pertinent social issues with it’s lyric addressing the isolation and rejection felt by a provincial gay youth forced into leaving town. Although not the first pop song to deal with this topic, Bronski Beat’s chart friendly early 80's electronic dance sound and the everyday ordinariness and honesty of the three performers, made Smalltown Boy the biggest record about gay issues there'd ever been. Jimmy’s next band The Communards enjoyed a string of hits from their two hit albums Communards (1986) and Red (1987). One moment the Communards were hurtling to the number one spot - a position they held for weeks in the UK in 1986 - with their energetic, hedonistic cover version of the Philly soul classic Don't Leave Me This Way, the next stunning audiences into silent awe with their touching lament for a loved one lost to AIDS, For A Friend. 1989 saw Jimmy embark on a solo career with 5 more hit singles and two albums; Read My Lips (1989) and The Singles Collection (1990). These included a stirring cover of Sylvester's disco anthem You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real). Jimmy's continued outspokenness on gay issues didn't prevent his records being played and selling in huge quantities.

The books have all been published in print, and many of them may also be found as e-books. Separate sections contain memoirs, novels, plays, and children’s and teen books. Several LGBT popular music-related DVDs are also listed. Each book and DVD has a link to the OCLC WorldCat record (when available) where you can see which libraries hold the item.
