If you subscribe to HBO, you can go over any time to "HBO GO" online and take a look at a recent film about the life of Liberace, the iconic Las Vegas entertainer and closeted homosexual.
As a young, gay pianist of some promise, I was always uncomfortable with the very idea of Liberace. You can imagine some of the things I heard. Liberace remains alluring, and the young (and highly talented) pipe organist Cameron Carpenter continues the "Mr. Showmanship" tradition though in my opinion, Carpenter's virtuosity and creativity as a keyboardist and arranger far outshines Liberace's.
So, I went and watched the film--"Behind the Candelabra", starring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas--about Liberace's last years and his relationship with a young man, Scott Thorsen.
More over the fold.
