BOS3 JJ's live version of "Real Men"

[CapnJack]

Joe Jackson "Real Men" (live)

[CapnJack]

Madonna "Vogue"

[RGMike]

Hahahaha!  Madonna, "Vogue", which we know AL probably wouldn't've played, tho' DM featured it in a couple of 1990 sets back in the day.

[urth]

YAY!!!  BOS2 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.  VERY glad she included this one. I adore it.

Def. on topic. I think Dave would approve.

[Big Fingers McGee]

"Freedom 90'", "Vogue" and "Real Men" are all examples of gay-themed songs for which straights need not be ashamed they like.

[RGMike]

BOS4 Erasure.

[CapnJack]

Erasure "A Little Respect"

Rufus Wainwright's "One Man Guy" is NTM and very nice. BOS5.

[CapnJack]

Tom Robinson Band "Glad To Be Gay"

[RGMike]

BOS6 another Morey staple: Tom Robinson.  I saw him several times in NYC back in the day, once at the Bottom Line, where we were close enuf to touch him.

Great minds...I just went back to that set's page to pull last year's list. Well done.
Last year's set stayed away from the usual suspects, too -- only Jill Sobule and Sylvester.  I'm thinking we'll get You Make Me Feel as tune #10.

Lady GaGa "Born This Way"
