I love you Yoko

[fflo]

Have you heard about the new queer album? Click on Yoko for the piece in Rolling Stone:



Old friends to the inverts Dolly Parton & Cyndi Lauper are among the other artists, who also include the Dixie Chicks, Pink, the B-52's, and Emmylou Harris. Too bad the benefitting organization is the middle-leaning (thus right-leaning) HRC. (Well, when you're leaning to the middle from the left, that's which way you're pulling!) But Yoko's doing "Every Man Has a Man"---that's what me and my queer cronies have been doing to songs for years, and she's doing it to her own song. Huzzah!

That issue of the magazine also has a cover story on Johnny Depp ya'll (fellow) Johnny-lovers and -droolers might enjoy.


P.S. Here's an interview Yoko did recently with The (Glasgow) Herald.

I love yoko ono

That is too fabulous.

Wonderful stuff. And interesting synchronicity, me playing her songs on Sunday. I hadn't even known about this going on.

I came across it cuz somebody on my friends-of-friends page had an entry that said "bon voyage Yoko" and I was suddenly afraid she'd died & I'd missed the news! Knowing you were going to play Yoko fed into that possibility in my mind, so I went searching for news of her.

Tried to listen to your show again, btw. Just in case something had changed. No go.

Thanks for trying. The streaming was down again. Grrr. I'll post the playlist in a little while. Another good show lost to the ether.

I know it may violate the spirit on some level, but might you (can you, even) tape it? sprig5 gave me a tape or two of her show, in the old days, and that was great fun.

I could, and indeed I might just do that. The problem I discovered when I tried to tape them last year, was I forgot to turn the tape over. I don't see my brain improving, but you never know.

Another option would be if we can get the streaming archived. I may ask our web person about that at the next board meeting, but they have enough trouble getting the streaming going at all. Not sure where that'll go.
