Today's Blind Items - 24 Hour Party People

This story begins with what was not pictured in the famous video. It was a checkpoint of sorts set up for the performers by the musician/charity impresario as they entered the building. There was a large world map on the wall, and each was asked to find this one place on the map - just so he knew everyone had a basic understanding why they were there.

But the one gal of three said: "I don't know where that country is," to which the man in question replied, "honey, it's not a country - it's a continent." (Later in the day she interrupted a take to inform everyone that she had been to one of "their" restaurants, and they had like more food than you could eat. A woman of a different heritage - pretty much the only one there - told her to shut up and sing.)

Obviously, they blew through the entire kilo of coke gifted to them by the former politician known by then mostly for trying to murder his former child lover. (By then he himself did NGO work of a different kind, which took him all over the world. In that capacity he was always flying in light planes, which he said used less gas. The real reason was all the trafficking, not just of drugs, but children of one sex - except for special requests. I guess you could more easily get through customs this way.) Who did more than any other? It's pretty obvious - you can see it in his face. It was the singer of the band seemingly named by Johnny Two Times.

But who was sleeping with who, right? I can name a few. For instance, why does the one prominently featured member of the rhythm section look so mad? It was not over all the hunger, but rather the fact that his mistress - a second member of the aforementioned trio, along with the other two - was sleeping with another performer. He felt a stinging pain. Then there's the case of a different kind of icon - why did he look so happy? It was because he didn't know his bandmate/romantic interest was sleeping with another icon of the same kind. This is the one who preferred sex in public places, not just loos, but parks, taxis (the two were thrown out of one), and even on one occasion I'm told a street corner. His idea was that they would perform the number on top of a building like the legendary band, but for some reason everyone would be having sex with each other. The organizer saw to it that the stairs to the roof were locked that day. 

When asked how it went by one of her gal pals, she said, "smashingly: I had to spend the last 24 hours with racists, pervs, and druggies. I'll be glad to get off the island." 

Finally, the singer known for being chaste at the time propositioned the already mentioned woman of a singular kind there. You may not be able to smell his breath that day, but you can almost see the slap mark on his face in the video.
