When the word came out, the Indy 500 feared a backlash from 400,000 drunken redneck racing fans and asked Nabors to step aside for the opening ceremonies. The reaction of 400,000 druken redneck racing fans, however, was to set up a chant of "we want Gomer." Vox populi, big time. Nabors was back the next year.
I have not been back to the race for more than 10 years, as kids and changing responsibilities mean I don't get to Indiana as much. I understand that Nabors was ailing this year and that they used a recording of him singing Back Home Again. He is an institution. He has, or had when he was younger, a wonderful singing voice, and he owns that song.
Holy cow, Gomer's gay?
Did he really have to? I mean come on, it is about as obvious as Liberace or Paul Lynde.
Nabors is a lying SOB. He NEVER ADMITTED HE WAS A FAG to anyone. He flat denied it every time it was brought up. He denied it to Opray Windrey. He was ashamed of being a fag, and rightly so. This man sang gospels songs his entire life. Would tell anyone how religous he was. His sales would have tanked if he had admitted he was living a living the life of a sodomite. Jim Nabors has some explaining to do to the Lord when his time on this earth is over. But let me be the first to day, anyone with a brain knew he was fag because he lived “alone” for 82 years of his life, and it was the worst kept secret in Hollywood. What a classless creep. And this old fag might have gotten “married” in Washington State, but it’s not recognized in Hawaii.
