the cockettes

Once upon a time last century, there were the Cockettes. Bud Lee documents and remembers. They were a fusion, a crossbreed of everything culture was going through in the late and turbulent sixties. In 1970, Maureen brought me to the Palace Theater where the now famous Haight-Ashbury survivors and cross-dressers calling themselves The Cockettes were. They were the new 'Hair', the hottest, trendiest group. I was seduced by their innocence and their charm and was mesmerized by their lifestyle - not afraid to show their "cock and balls" to the whole world. Remember we were living in a world of sexual denial. We were champions of Puritan respectability and virtue. The penis and testicles did not exist in our world, not even in sex manuals. Nipples and navels were still being airbrushed out of photographs. Then in a flash there were the The Cockettes with their in-your-face sexuality, unashamed and out of the closet to stay.
