Landreth's bailiwick is electric slide guitar, to which he brings a a killer sound and a revved-up attitude that takes the legacy of Ry Cooder and Lowell George and gooses...
...business? Gay activists have criticized the columnist (whom they long maintained was gay) for helping celebrities keep closeted by passing on their stories of heterosexual relationships, implying that homosexuality is the one secret too filthy for even a gossip to reveal.

In dresses, hats, jackets and ties, we would trudge through the heavy, reluctant revolving door and enter the place of civilization and ceremony. "This way, doctor."
