Fri June 24: a Pride Classic, er, I mean a New Pride set

[RGMike]

10am meeting so I'l have to wait for the PM version. Not expecting surprises in any case.

"We're Here, We're Queer, We're a Rerun!"

[urth]

Don't know about anyone else, but this isn't sounding like anything I remember hearing before. That punk rock intro thingy (thoroughly unintelligible), and now this Ben Folds-sounding piece (catchy piano pop, lyrics about the love that shall not speak its name) are both unknown to me.

Maybe Dave put an original set in the can before he took off?

[Beej]

I think you might be right, Urth.

[urth]

Now we're back in familiar territory: I Kissed a Girl and Melissa E's Yes I Am, interposed by the Ellen "coming out" clips.

[mshray]

as long as Sylvester is Feeling Mighty Real, it is a good set.

[Alicat]

I'm dancing away!!!!!!!!! You make me feel...........

[Beej]

I like the little phaser sound effects: pshew-pshew-pshew....

[mshray]

Movie dialogue Dave should play one of these years (from American Beauty):

Jim Olmeyer: Hello! We're your neighbors from two doors down and we just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood!
[handing the Colonel a gift basket]
Jim "JB" Berkely: Everything's from our garden, except for the pasta.
Jim Olmeyer: Yes, it's from Fizzoli's, it's amazingly fresh, you just pop it in water and it's done! I'm Jim Olmeyer
[shakes the Colonel's hand]
Jim Olmeyer: And this is my partner Jim.
Jim "JB" Berkely: Jim Berkely, but people call me J.B.
[extends his hand to shake]
Colonel Frank Fitts: Ah, let's just cut to it, what are you selling?
Jim Olmeyer: Nothing, we just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood.
Colonel Frank Fitts: You said you're partners, so, uh what's your business?
Jim Olmeyer: Well, he's a tax attorney.
Jim "JB" Berkely: And he's an anesthesiologist.

Who does this Hit The Ground Running song?  

The last time Dave played it on the Morning Show is when he got all choked up & remembered his lost lover & showed he still has a bit of unresolved survior's guilt.

[urth]

Post Sylvester, more familiarity: Tim Finn's Hit The Ground Running.

Question: is Tim Finn gay, or does this song just have particular resonance for gays?

[Alicat]

Will we get Philadelphia song?

[urth]

Will we get Philadelphia song?

I'm thinking no. I think Hit The Ground Running was Dave's AIDS related tune for this set.

[ggould]

driving through Richmond dist, looking for wireless access, found it!

I saw Sylvester perform live at least twice; hot performer

[mshray]

after the SF gay marriage newsclips segued into "Legalize Our Love" I am now convinced that this is a 2005 set, not a rerun.

Post Sylvester, more familiarity: Tim Finn's Hit The Ground Running.

Question: is Tim Finn gay, or does this song just have particular resonance for gays?

Back early from my meeting, and it sounds like Dave really did record a new set -- I know we didn't hear Jill Sobule last year, I remember noticing its absence then.

Tim Finn is not gay to my knowledge but the song is clearly about knowing someone who died of AIDS.  Proxy WOS for Gaz as I recall he hates it, but I like it just fine.
