I tripped when I saw that first pic because I was wearing David's Adidas shirt yesterday. Same colors and everything.

Let's see, Tee's (thankfully) short lived Jheri Curl days... maybe 1979 or there abouts. Check out the brother with the "Russell" (Cosby kids) hat in the second photo.

I was going to mention that but I thought I better not. My comment was going to be something like "wasn't he afraid of getting the Jheri curl juice all over his records?"

wow! This is great. I have to send this to a friend of mine who used to frequent BD. David's last name, btw, is Depino. Can someone school me on something? Was BD a gay club or was it's lengendary status come from a gay night at a straight club?

I don't know for sure. I think it's the former, but I'll wait for one of you guys to comment.

I would say that it was primarily a gay club.
(Anyone, Correct me if I'm wrong).
If you loved Tee's music, it didn't matter.
You'd go to wherever he was playing. A Roller rink, the Garage, Zanzibars, His own club, a club in a not to safe neighborhood. Or, just chill and listen to him on the WBLS radio station. The music was too good for anything else to matter. (IMHO)

In Tee's words, it was a "black, militant, gay club." Just the way I like it. Read the Danny Wang article for more.

Some nights the BD got rough, as in rough necks. Yes, you had your share of effeminate guys, but in the BD, even the out-and-out drag queens were tough. Of course, the crowd change somewhat over the years as the place became more popular, but it pretty much always remained a "black, militant, gay club."

Better Days got a lot of the after-work crowd from Eigth Avenue. I'm not talking about a Bentley's type after-work crowd here. Different work with much later hours.
