Anyone catch Dave's chuckling reference to the sponsor of today's set--California Closets?

I can't recall the names of either of the first two songs (a short but very punky one--Queer enough for you? and a kind of piano rock tune with a refrain "I'm gay and I don't mean happy...").

And now it's a clip from "Ellen"--my point being this sounds really really familiar.

"You can't blame this on the media, Ellen."

I never tire of that.  I vividly remember watching Ellen's coming-out episode (at Kimo's, of all places) and feeling a surge of triumph when the episode was over, that she DID it, she really DID it, and we were all a big step closer to free.

"We'll have our pearls" -- she later released an album called Pink Pearl, and someone I worked with insisted that the title was about the eraser and nothing more.

Mulkiteo Fairies - Queer Enough For You  
Billie Burke Estate - Gay  
Jill Sobule - I Kissed a Girl  
Melissa Etheridge - Yes I Am  
Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
Tim Finn - Hit the Ground Running
Elton John - The Simple Life  
Timbuk 3 - Legalize Our Love  
Tom Robinson Band - Glad To Be Gay
Joe Jackson - Real Men

We didn't post the setlist of last year's pride set in the thread thereof, but I checked the Shraytabase and the '05 set looks to be the same as what we're hearing right now. I'll hold off posting it, in case anyone would rather be surprised, but suffice to say this is the same set we heard the last two years.

10@10-wise it sucks, but he's still plenty proud.  They had Styx bassist Chuck Panozzo, who's out, HIV-pos & a big activist these days, on the morning show (he's also promoting his autobiography).  Dave was very up front about it all, as usual.

Maybe he just considers this to be like the MLK set--the definitive set, so he prefers to just leave it as a static work of art, rather than change it every year.

OK, I am NOT proud to be hearing "Hit the Ground Running" yet yet yet again.  If Dave wants to evoke AIDS poignancy, he can play Noel's "Silent Morning," 'k?

Your reserve is admirable, but I already blew it!   :lol:  :lol:
