OK, this might end up being like that moment when I first realized my brother Bill was kind of a "Junior" -- my dad is named Bill, too, but I only made the connection a couple years ago(!). (In my defense, we didn't grow up with Dad, and he technically didn't have a middle name, whereas my brother did.) But I heard Jordana Brewster on "Chelsea Lately" last night promoting the "Dallas" reboot, and in the course of the interview they discussed how the LGBT scene in Dallas is huge -- and that they even have gay bars named after J.R. and Sue Ellen. Really???????
I've been going to the JR's in Washington since 1989 and this is the first time I've heard someone mention it was named after JR Ewing. (I was aware of the Texas locations, and even went to the one in Houston once when my connecting flight to L.A. got canceled!) Did I somehow miss the boat completely on this? It certainly wouldn't be the first time ...
