Not that we'd be able to tell. It will likely consist of most of those songs Mark listed the other day.

Indeed, I'll be surprised if it's newly recorded... but I said that last year, too, and it turned out to be just that.

Well, the first two tunes are the same two that last year's set led off with, so it could well just be that set in redux. If it is last year's, then the next song will be Jill Sobule.

unintelligible, and real short. Sound bite, or a song?
this next song "I'm gay, and I don't mean happy" sounds like Christian music to me, in that the lyrics are proper, but shoved somewhat unartfully around some chords. Is this considered great music?

I've forgotten who did that, but it's a terrific lyric, IMHO. A real find on Dave's part.

I stumbled across the web site for the "For Better or For Worse" and found this site for the gay character Lawrence:
http://www.fborfw.com/char_pgs/lawrence/
I had no idea she put so much energy into researching her characters, or how much flak she put up with over bringing this character out of the closet. In the end, it seems like most people were positive, but she lost newspapers over this.

I remember that. Great story. And sadly, little has changed.

The Ellen clips always remind me that the day after that ep aired, I got on BART and there was a woman sitting there with a toaster oven on her lap. I'll never know if it was just an amazing coincidence, or...

Rats, I missed the clip. That was a good show, and the "Toaster" episode was reeeeally funny.

BOS, all the gay people everywhere!
But I'm never going in a bar called "Ramrod!" :lol:
But seriously, BOS Joe Jackson, who's coming up. Yay.
-
BOS Timbuk 3, but (I say this every year) this song is actually about the love of... marijuana, no?
"why must we hide from our children
as if they've all been deputized?"

and as always a big hooray for the great Tom Robinson. Even if he is married to a woman now. :roll:

I saw Joe Jackson last night. He was very good. Didn't do this particular song.

When I worked at ABC, one of our newscasters one night used the lead headline "Gay rights bill goes down to defeat". We had to explain to him why that was a poor choice of words...

Sounds as if the intro and backsell clips were originally recorded--I don't remember Dave's recollection of his first Pride event in Cincy before.
And y'know--as this set progressed, it occured to me that theme sets aren't necessarily about playing a variety of songs on a given subject, they're also about evoking a certain mood. And this one--or these songs--definitely put me in a specific mental place every year. And I'm cool with that. (Same could be said for the MLK set, which has been the same for the past 4 years at least.)
Besides, I'd have picked Tom Robinson for BOS today, too.

I dunno if Live 105 id doing their annual "K-GAY" spoof this weekend, but they do stream now, if you out-of-towners wanna check it out

That's a good 'un. (Where DOES that apostrophe go?)

Right where you put it. As a rule of thumb, just remember that often the apostrophe goes wherever the missing letters in the word you're abbreviating would have been. And that's your copy editor's tip of the day.

Thanks, though it's a little hard in that particular one, since it isn't clear what letter or letters are missing, since it's basically a misspelling.

so, assuming "un" is short for "one" I'd guess:
good un'

Kudos to Rosalie for her Bonus Track: Loudon Wainwright III, "I Wish I Was A Lesbian", bringing the humor dave's Pride sets tend to be a bit short on (Ellen clips notwithstanding).
Wonder if Loudon wishes Rufus was a lesbian.

BOS, all the gay people everywhere!
I was listening in the car as I did a whole bunch of errands, and when TRB came on I found myself thinking, "Well I'm not gay, but I'm glad I have a bunch of friends who are. My life would be poorer without them."
Especially those of you on this board!

I'll have to split a hair here to clarify this. (Never invite multiple copy editors to be on your b-board.) In the case of "good 'un," the apostrophe isn't so much replacing a *letter* as replacing a *sound* (the "w" sound that begins "one"). Hence, "good 'un."
I'd explain further except I just smoked a very large amount of pot.

Sounds quite reasonable to me, especially since the missing letter is silent!

Yeah--what he said!
Thanks for covering my grammatical ass there, Gaz.

Hurray, I can finally listen to WMP streams here! Tuned into the replay just in time for "Real Men," a song whose sentiments apply as well to Brett Myers as to Ozzie Guillen ... *sigh*
NYC's Pride Parade is tomorrow. I might march with my softball league, even though I feel so disconnected from the GLBT community in this city. Sometimes I forget how many people are still closeted and still depend on public shows of support (and, yes, pride) from those of us who are out, to help them work up the courage to live their lives more openly. Wish I had ITMFA buttons to give out to everybody.

Did anyone catch this item in Leah Garchik's column of yesterday's (Tuesday) Chron:
P.P.S.: Marna Clark, listening to KFOG on Friday, says a program featuring gay, lesbian and transgender songs was sponsored by California Closets.
She must have been referring to this set--I don't think there were any other gay-themed shows on KFOG on Friday, although I missed the California Closets connection.

they've been a 10@10 sponsor for some time; I don't remember hearing that particular backannounce Friday. They're "the official closeteer of KFOG" which always prompts me to ask, "I thought Tracy Chapman was the offical closeteer of KFOG".
Speaking of, Live 105's "K-GAY" played "Fast Car" at one point which made me laugh out loud.
