But Chris on 'Hardball' Had It Wrong
these log cabin republicans are so full of crap.
and chris i can't believe you are falling for their crap!
i said it before and i'll say it again a gay republican is akin to a jew voting for hitler in 1939.
'The Day After That' from 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'
'kiss of the spider woman' opened in 1993 on broadway. the cast starred brent carver as molina, anthony crivello as valentin and chita rivera as spider woman/aurora (see sidebar) all of whom won tony awards.
the show itself won best musical, book and music and lyrics.
not long after liza minnelli recorded the 'day after that' which she premiered live at the un on world's aids day. it became an anthem in the fight against aids.
i've chosen to post two of liza's versions here.
however the best version of all was the original by anthony crivello who won a most deserved tony award for his role as molina. this is the best i could do. it's not about the pictures or the video. it's all about the music, the lyrics and anthony's amazing voice.

What a Disgrace: What a Frackin' Hypocrite*
ken mehlman the former republican national committee chairman during gw's administration and was the architect of much of the anti-gay rhetoric and policies during that time has come out of the closet.
well congratulations you moron. you think this is too little too late? well damn it i do! go back to your bush cronies. we have no use for you now. when you could have done something you chose to do nothing. you should have stayed in your closet. i have no pity for your 'journey'. typical republican closet case who's motto seems to be 'first do harm'.
*for one of the few times i can remember i totaly disagree with chris mathews on this subject.
Spring Music Fest: Audra McDonald

What's On My Mind Today? Charlie Crist
i never blogged about the florida primaries because i was just waiting. i choose not to vote for any of the democrat party nominees even though it is my party affiliation. when charlie crist decided to run as an independent i kind of knew where my senate vote was going in november. he has been a good governor and generally at odds with his republican party. that scored him a lot of points with me.
now if he'd only come out of the closet. charlie...we all know!
now if he'd only come out of the closet. charlie...we all know!
"What if..."
abc and soapnet had characters from different daytime dramas bumping into each other this summer. i admit that i've been a closeted 'general hospital' and 'one life to live' watcher for the past gazillion years. time to come out of the closet.
first up 'behind the scenes'
'What If'' Maxie Jones Met Rex Balsom
maxie jones (general hospital) meets rex balsom (one life to live).

As Suspected
a week or so back it was speculated that sandra and director stephen daldry may work together. the speculation seems to becoming more of a fact with tom hanks jumping on board.
sandra 'blindsided' most critics and bloggers when she was nominated for best actress this past film year. some had to eat their pig-skin when she won. now she is teaming up with daldry who directed nicole kidman to her oscar ('the hours) and then directed kate winslet to her's ('the reader'). so to the nay- sayers i say...watch out. number two isn't too far-fetched.
A few weeks ago, Sandra Bullock was seen leaving a meeting with Stephen Daldry with what looked like a script in her hands. Today it’s fairly certain that script was Eric Roth’s adaptation of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Varietysays Bullock and Tom Hanks may be the director’s first choice to play the adult leads alongside a precocious kid facing a world of tragedy and post-traumatic stress just after the World Trade Center attack.
'Warner Bros. and Paramount are eyeing Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks for the feature version of post- 9/11 drama “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” with Scott Rudin producing.Warners, the lead studio on the project, indicated it has made offers to the thesps but is not yet in formal negotiations. And the studios have not yet greenlit the project. The Jonathan Safran Foer novel, set in 2003, centers on a 9-year-old boy who finds a key in a vase that belongs to his father — who perished in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — and searches to find the lock that goes with it. It was one of the first American novels to incorporate the Sept. 11 events into the plot.'

'To Know Him Is to Love Him (Her)'
following up on spotlighting linda ronstadt yesterday leads me to this trio by linda, dolly parton and emmylou harris.
the song is one of my all time favorites.
the original was recorded by a 50's group called the ponitails
the beetles saw fit to record it with a few updated lyrics as 'to know her is to love her' listen carefully.
my favorite version is john lennon's solo version
all together this only proves that good music can transcend time, place and musical genre.
