Blueboy

BLUEBOY
 
 
Blueboy,  originally written Blue Boy, was a gay pornographic/lifestyle magazine with pictures of men in various states of undress.  It was published from 1974 to 2007.  Blueboy began as a glossy gay male magazine that covered the Washington D.C. area, and by volume 2 in 1975 had moved to Miami, Florida, where more of a glossy soft-core gay magazine developed that targeted the national scene.  The magazine quickly became hugely successful, going from 26,000 subscriptions in 1975 to 160,000 subscriptions in 1976.  The publication was largely regarded in the 1980s and in the early 1990s as a gay version of Playboy or Penthouse.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
The only song on the Filthy Fifteen that I think deserves special attention is Cyndi Lauper’s She Bop”. The opening verse refers to Blueboy, a gay pornographic magazine; the lyric sheet put the name in lower case though.
