Hmm... Should this be filed under culture or queer? It's one of those high/low art kind of things.
Last night we saw Jonny McGovern, Gay Pimp Daddy/International Gay Teen Pop Superstar, at PS122. We took James's nephew Peter - the gay psychriatrist nephew - and his friend John. It was great fun, with Jonny and his backup dancers (including one Abercrombie and Fitch model), plus two fabulous draq queens. I think my favorite song was "Hey, Little Raver Boi". The choreography, by Jonny, Kimmarie Lynch, and Christopher Campell, was hilarious -- trashy queer boy band dancing. The costumes for "Raver Boi" included light sticks, visors, and bell bottoms of course.
It lasts until May 12. Worth a visit I think. The crowd was an interesting mix, including straight boys and their girlfriends. The girls really screamed for the songs about Jonny seducing straight boys. This post-straight world is very interesting.
We had dinner afterward at my favorite East Village restaurant, Raga -- Indian fusion, not really Indian, one block east of the glitter of the 6th Street Little India.
Side note. Abercrombie's web site has a music page, including a streaming station? How's this for an album description:
Camber attacks with buzzing guitars desperately hung over a rock solid backbeat.
I just love hung over guitars.
