Ingrid Michaelson is one of those artists that I was late to discover. I would hear her music randomly and think “that’s someone I have to check out” but I wouldn’t be near a computer to look her up. I could never remember to research her until her song “Girls Chase Boys” hit a couple…
This weekend I went to New York City with my sister, my niece, my great niece, and my nephew’s wife to see the New York Spectacular show at Radio City Music Hall (side note: what a great show and becoming a Rockette is now on my bucket list). My sister had an extra ticket and…
This past weekend my partner and I went to Arundel, Maine to the Vinegar Hill Music Theater to see Paula Cole perform a This Fire 20th anniversary concert. She wasn’t doing a lot of these shows so we wanted to make sure we caught at least one. It was a three hour drive so we…
Every year as I get older and the people around me get older, I notice when someone does something elderly, I say to myself “Self, at least your not that old.” In my gay opinion, these are the Top 5 Ways To Know You’re Getting Old. #5 But These PJs Are Clean – When you…
In my gay opinion, it’s hard to find new musical divas to follow when radio stations play the same music by the same artists all the time. Every so often on Twitter an artist will randomly follow me and I’ll get an automated DM (“direct message” for those not familiar with twitology) asking me to…
It was a beautiful sunny spring day in 1988 when I set foot in New York City for the first time. For my birthday my mother took us on a bus tour to see Madonna in the play Speed The Plow on Broadway at The Royale Theatre. I wasn’t out at the time but I’m…
The Orlando shooting this past weekend that killed 49 people is bothering me a lot, for many reasons. First, being gay, it’s scary to think that someone could be so full of hatred towards gays that he’d be willing to go into a gay club and randomly gun people down. Second, that there are people…
The other day I was running late for a concert and stuck in traffic. I could see the traffic light ahead and orange security cones everywhere. As the light changed, I inched closer and closer to the intersection. Was there a three car pile up? Did a kid run out in traffic and get hit?…
I was interested in the group Alexander Jean’s new EP because of BC Jean’s involvement. I became a BC Jean fan after hearing her song “Just A Guy” on the radio in 2010. I’ve been following her career ever since. When I heard she teamed up with her fiancé Mark Ballas to form Alexander Jean…
I’ve never thought of myself as a bucket list sort of gay. However, lately, I’ve been looking back on some accomplished goals and realized that I’ve secretly had a bucket list all along. However, my bucket list has always been filled with somewhat obtainable goals. I never want to set the bar too high. Why…
