Re "I'm Coming Out:" no one under 30 believes me, but just as the Village People were not necessarily seen as a gay group, most of America missed the double entrendre of "I'm coming out/I want the world to know/Got to let it show."  Hidden in plain sight, perhaps.

I tend to forget that. I guess "Africa" was on the radio in early '83, maybe even before that. I have trouble with the timeline sometimes too, like when I found out recently that Calloway's "I Wanna Be Rich" was from the spring of '90, not the fall of '87. But I thought I knew the spring of '90's Top 40 landscape so well! Apparently not. “Africa” came from the same album as “Rosanna.” I tend to forget that.
