Michael won’t let me get a motorcycle
I think this is why. But maybe he doesn’t know that we don’t do this in the U.S.

My friend Vinnie at Bitter Cup of Joe won’t believe it, but I’m just posting this on his behalf. I think he’ll really dig it. Hell, who wouldn’t?
Don’t really know why, but this does make me giggle! The title on You Tube is “Project Make McCain Exciting: Gray Ambition”. Awesome.
I’ve been grooving on a lot of early 80’s Boston, local music lately, like November Group, Face to Face, Adventure Set, Private Lightning, and this seminal Boston band, Berlin Airlift. Songwriter/leader Rick Berlin is a Boston institution, and you can still find him hanging out in Jamaica Plain. This song, “Over the Hill (I Love You)” and Berlin Airlift the band, was so important to this incipient fag when I was solidifying my identity. The songs were clearly coded and from the point of view of a gay man. What a find this video is!
