Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p92031) by daydreamer » Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:23 pm I saw Peter Blakes revised Sgt Pepper cover yesterday and was disappointed that Dusty hadn't made it on there, Ray Connolley's cover is much better And not just because Dusty is on there either....honest To see both covers and check who everyone is, see below... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... luded.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2124283/How-Id-pep-Sergeant-Pepper-As-man-pops- greatest-album-cover-creates-2012-version-Beatles-confidant-picks-cultural-heroes-SHOULD- included.html) Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p92100) by Cas19 » Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:52 am Thats really cool! Dusty looks good in the one Karen posted. Casx Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p93982) by karen » Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:17 pm Article in Guardian Newspaper at weekend re Jessie J and her sexuality.. [Dusty picture , and references] click on article for full report.. what do you think about this.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/barbaraellen (http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/barbaraellen) Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p93991) by daydreamer » Tue Apr 24, 2012 5:04 pm What is so interesting about it is the fact that they have to go as far back as Dusty to find a comparison to Jessie J's modern day dilemma. From the article..... An image springs to mind of Dusty Springfield saying in 1970: "I know I'm perfectly as capable of being swayed by a girl as a boy." Then, this was such a brave, lonely statement – as out of the sapphic closet a lesbian could get without being publicly stoned to death. Now, what would it be – part of a module at the Brit school, entitled: "How to make your non-mainstream sexuality work for you!"? And.... Put bluntly, looking around, Elton John would probably conclude that it's very different for gay males than when he started out. However, if Dusty Springfield were around today, what would she see? Some openly gay females, sure, but also others, still closeted, just not as heterosexuals this time round, rather as "bisexuals". What price progress? Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p93992) by karen » Tue Apr 24, 2012 5:12 pm Like you Carole I also found it odd that she had to go back to someone like Dusty to make these comments... and of course bringing Elton John into the discussion too... Worth reading though... Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p94009) by villagegirl » Tue Apr 24, 2012 9:21 pm It is a good article and Barbara Ellen makes some valid points. The subject of Jessie J's sexuality isn't a new one though. She was featured on the front of a magazine a few months ago under the headline "I like dating boys AND girls". Why the fuss now I really don't know. Its noone elses business anyway. Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p94012) by daydreamer » Tue Apr 24, 2012 9:25 pm There's a new book out so old news is now new news Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p94016) by villagegirl » Tue Apr 24, 2012 9:31 pm Yep, it'll be somebody elses turn next week. Jessie this week, Simon Cowell last week! Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p94093) by Carole R. » Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:31 pm I'm thinkin that these so called revelations are just another 'weapon' in the battle for Saturday night viewing figures. Its gotta be more than a coincidence that both Simon Cowell and Jessie J are featuring heavily in the tabloid comics at the moment. I couldn't be more disinterested in either of them. Re the article, and general comments about the press and music industries bias in favour of accepting gay male singers and reluctance to accept gay female singers... Thats slightly naive, imo. ..What can really be expected in a still male dominated world??! Carole R xx Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p94104) by jeffery » Wed Apr 25, 2012 4:08 pm I can't help thinking some of these celebrities (guys and gals) aren't honestly gay. Perhaps to be trendy, in vogue, or as an attention getter (headlines). Naive ? Maybe. If it's in the press I suspect motive. Male executives exercise dominance over males as well as females, so I can see that part of the article. I'd rather see Dusty used as an example of artistry rather than one of social issues. Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p95581) by daydreamer » Sun May 13, 2012 7:00 pm A very good aerial view of Dusty's house in Harpsden. Next to the row of trees to the left of the house is a public footpath that runs from the top of the hill to the bottom. http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/dus ... se-former/ (http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/dusty-springfields-house-former/) Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p95587) by Corinna » Sun May 13, 2012 8:19 pm Someone told me that they have put tight hedges there now, so you can't really look in from that footpath anymore. A couple of years ago, a group of us was lucky to find a few spots where we could peek through the hedges, and we took a few photos. To me, this is a sad place. Dusty knew that she was very ill when she moved there. I wonder if she ever felt really "at home" there...

Could it be called an estate ? Dying don't come easy, but that place looks a lot more comfortable than a hospice, or hospital. I know Dusty was in pain, but I hope she didn't bare to much sadness there. I think I read that she liked being able to look out on the garden, and the nature there. Top Re: Dusty related snippets (#p96303) by paula » Mon May 21, 2012 1:46 pm came across this article and though most will not be interested in the report as a whole...I love how DUSTY makes her way into a 2012 Bloomberg Report (In bold about 3/4 way down) Tax Code Overhaul Must Be Made A U.S Priority, Camp Says By Richard Rubin - May 17, 2012 11:48 AM ET The U.S. Congress and President Barack Obama should endorse a fast-track approach leading to a rewrite of the tax code in 2013, Representative Dave Camp, the top House tax writer, said today. “Doing so would send a clear, strong message to the markets, to employers and families that Washington is serious about reforming our tax code and putting us on a path to sustained economic growth,” Camp said in a speech in Washington, according to prepared remarks distributed by his office. Representative Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican, says Congress and President Barack Obama should endorse a fast-track approach leading to a rewrite of the U.S. tax code in 2013. Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images Camp, 58, a Michigan Republican, is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. He spoke today at a conference sponsored by Baker & Hostetler LLP, the lobbying firm Federal Policy Group and the Yale Club of Washington. The fate of a tax code overhaul is linked to other fiscal policy issues. They include automatic spending cuts starting in January and expiration of tax cuts that comprise a so-called fiscal cliff late this year that could reduce the gross domestic product by about 3 percent if Congress does nothing. Camp and House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, want to couple the short- term extension of expiring tax cuts with what they both called an “expedited process” to ensure a tax code rewrite in 2013. They haven’t decided on details of the process or estimated what the consequences of inaction would be. Indefensible Status Quo “There is a recognition that the status quo is indefensible,” Representative Peter Roskam, an Illinois Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, said in an interview yesterday. “There’s a recognition that there’s an opportunity to do something, and I think that the public would become very dissatisfied if in the next Congress it’s not dealt with.” The House Republican budget adopted earlier this year calls for dropping the top individual and corporate tax rates to 25 percent from 35 percent, eliminating the alternative minimum tax and reducing the number of individual tax brackets to two from six. The proposal would require Congress to curtail or eliminate many tax breaks, and Democrats have criticized Republicans for not being specific about the most politically difficult portions of their plan. Camp has been holding hearings and planning sessions with House Republicans. ’Dusty Springfield Song’ “Clearly, progress has been made,” he said.
