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!
“I see much traveling in your future…”
Holy moley. First [title of show] announces its Broadway run!
Then, I hear Martha Plimpton is going to be doing Top Girls!
And now… Jeremy Piven in Speed The Plow?! (Without Madonna?!) Swoon.
(Well, actually, I swoon over Jeremy Piven for any reason.)
Sing along — You know the words!
I was just saying to Michael that I’m waiting for the day the Village People get their props — not as artists, of course, but as truly brilliant subversive social revolutionaries. Doesn’t it make you giggle to think of millions of sporting fans the world-over semaphoring along to a song about gay sex?
And how brilliant would it be to hear it in Finnish?
I love how this man dances.
I’d be buying if I were single!
One bad thing about DVR: you miss the commercials. I’m bummed that I didn’t see this fantastic ad when it aired during Heroes. eHarmony totally deserves the slam, those right-wing Christian bastards.
