you got Liberace all wrong...he was turned on man....he was in the Haight playing with the Dead and Jefferson Airplane...Jim Morrison got his whole routine from Liberace....and even Jimi Hendrix appropriated his outlandish fashion and musical grandiosity....there would be no Psychedelic Movement without Liberace....

As a young man In the seventies I worked at KMUV-TV in Sacramento. Liberace’s brother George also worked there as a movie host. I shot film and one day he asked if i’d like to go to Lake Tahoe where his brother Liberace was doing a show. I had dinner with the family as Liberace performed and afterwards shot a segment with he and his brother. At 1:30 am just a few of us including Lee went downstairs to the coffee shop for pancakes. It was great fun watching the patrons react to Liberace’s presence among them as well as the outlandish outfit he had donned.

About a decade later in the mid 80s where Simon was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, there was a sketch where 2 of the cast ladies portrayed lounge singers covering his hits

It's amazing how LSD changed the entire world for a short time. I promise, the colors and designs of everything you see in the 60s was inspired by LSD. You can even watch it happen as Timothy Leary is kicked out of college in the early 60s and travels the country in a bus turning everyone onto LSD. From that time forward EVERYTHING changed. The music changed, the culture changed, the designs changed .. everything.

Now I know where Austin Powers got his dance moves from!!!

In his later shows, Liberace became more flamboyant than ever. I can't believe that you can't believe that Liberace was gay. Notice in this video at 2:50. Apparently, if a guy is gay, he can get away with putting his hand on a woman's breast on live TV. Today that would probably result in a lawsuit.
