Mickey's
7
Some music history with a Houston connection. One of the most obscure
gay albums of the 70s was by a band called Mickey's 7 and the album
was
"Rocket to Stardom," released in 1975. The lead singer,
Mickey Brewster,
had reportedly been featured in gay erotic magazines. The cover of
the
album could not be much more suggestive. It shows several shirt-less
young men riding an unmistakably phallic rocket, and some suggestive
photos are on the back.
I'll quote from the album jacket, "Mickey steals the show for
the whole ride,
every inch of the way. And for those of you who are already fans of
Mickey's
you know that '7' does not refer to the number of guys in the band."
Ah, yes, the record's producer was never known for his subtlety. He
was
Roy C. Ames and for a number of years produced records out of Houston,
Texas,
where he also ran into trouble with a grand jury, on obscenity charges.
He
started an eleven-year prison sentence the same year the Mickey's
7 album
was released, so he wasn't around to do any promoting.
But that's another story. The Mickey's 7 album includes songs such
as
"Rock Around the Crotch," "Funk-y Butt," "Uranus"
and the thought-provoking
"Stroke My Spoke" and "I've Got My Right Hand."
