We once had to move seats at the Hollywood Bowl during a Patti LaBelle concert. I didn’t realize her hugh popularity in the gay community

I accidentally attended a Tracy Chapman concert back in the early 1980s. Lesbian City. The same thing happened at a screening of the movie "Personal Best" with Mariel Hemingway.

I was really excited to see her. It was my birthday and we were ready for a great time. We would have left early but had parked at one of those remote lots with stacked parking. Not only were the guests obnoxious, but Labelle herself was, too. She spoke of ‘her people’ in the cheap seats. It was ridiculous.......we were in the cheap seats. You should never alienate your audience. I would never go see her again.
