Unlike Elio Iannacci & Rinaldo Walcott (born 1965), I was around & actively involved as a Toronto musician in rock and roll / Motown 1960/70s. When not rehearsing or performing, I listened to scores of LPs for interesting material. Like most music fans then, we had no interest in Shane’s “pioneering.” The only Shane tune we liked a lot was Any Other Way, which we doubled up with Clarence Carter’s Slip Away, an original composition dedicated to Carter’s deceased brother. Shane's ephemeral “big hit” was a cover. What offends about this piece is mirrored in a complementary NYT’s 19 Oct tendentious dissertation (also in the Fashion section) titled The Gay Architects of Classic Rock. And that is that self-professed fonts of “quality journalism” are slaves to relentlessly promoting “disruptive” nonsense. When the Globe ennobles queerness and gender performance while printing - “weddings were created to enslave women,” it’s the Globe I hold responsible as a disseminator of fake views as fact.
