Oh. Oh no. Oh no no.
We promised ourselves.
We promised ourselves that we would never be this infatuated with America's "bad boy".
We even wrote a note to ourselves; in which we laid down the law...
"ABSOLUTELY NO FALLING IN LOVE WITH JAMES DEAN. IT'S TOO DARN STEREOTYPICAL."
But we tried.
Oh, how we tried.
But how can we resist this...
James Dean.

James Dean.Need we say any more?
Well we will anyway.
Let's get straight to the good stuff.
Skip all the stuff you guys already know.
Are you ready for this?
Are you sure?
Alright....
Wait, are you sure?
Okay, here we go.
James Dean was GAY!
That's right!
America's idol.
America's token rebel!
A man who boys' idolized!
A man who other men could never live up to!
HE.
WAS.
GAY!
At least, that's what his friends said.
Oh, and also there is a SHITLOAD of evidence supporting it.
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia...
"Today, Dean is often considered an icon because of his "experimental" take on life, which included his ambivalent sexuality.[20] There have been several accounts of Dean's sexual relationships with both men and women. William Bast was one of Dean's closest friends, a fact acknowledged by Dean's family.[21] Dean's first biographer (1956),[22] Bast was his roommate at UCLA and later in New York, and knew Dean throughout the last five years of his life. Bast has recently published a revealing update of his first book, in which, after years of successfully dodging the question as to whether he and Dean were sexually involved,[23][24] he has finally admitted that they were.[25] In this second book Bast describes the difficult circumstances of their involvement and also deals frankly with some of Dean's other homosexual relationships, notably the actor's friendship with Rogers Brackett, the influential producer of radio dramas who encouraged Dean in his career and provided him with useful professional contacts.[26]"
Blah, blah, blah. You probably didn't read all of that.
Well, no matter. Here is some evidence that is much shorter.
When questioned about his sexual orientation, James Dean said,
"Well, I'm certainly not going through life with one hand tied behind my back."
How else could that be interpreted?
OH YEAH! And also, all of the so called "relationships" James Dean has been in involving a member of the opposite sex were staged by Warner Brothers. Mmm hmm.
After James Dean signed his contract with Warner Brothers the studio's public relations department began making up stories about Dean's liaisons with a variety of young actresses who were mostly drawn from the clientèle of Dean's Hollywood agent, Dick Clayton.
OH, and another piece of evidence to add to the pile...Dean avoided the draft by registering as a homosexual!!!
Alright, alright. This isn't a "James Dean is homosexual" blog.
(Although there is a lot more evidence about Dean being gay. Which you can read all about here.)
This is a "James Dean is amazing and you should know it" blog.
Well the first thing we watched that had James Dean in it was NOT the famous "Rebel Without a Cause."
It was this, The Unlighted Road. A rare TV appearance by a new-comer named James Dean. As soon as this scene came on, we fell in love.
To see the entire thing, you can go here. It's in 3 parts.
There are a bunch more of his TV appearances; all hosted by the wonderful salomevaquero. We are very grateful to her as she helped fuel our obsession with James Dean.
Well we will anyway.

Another interesting thing we happened to stumble upon is this...
Even more exciting is that it is NO ACCIDENT. Matt Groening deliberately fashioned Phillip J. Fry after James Dean.
Matt Groening, you are awesome.
We could go on and on about Deany-Baby. In fact it looks like we already have.
No matter. We'll just leave you with some gems of James...
