Kiss Me Kate

Wedded Bliss:
Kate Pierson & Monica Coleman
"The Love Shack is a little old place where, We can get together" - Love ShackB-52's

Congratulations go out today to Kate Pierson of the B-52's on getting married to her longtime girlfriend Monica Coleman over the weekend in Hawaii! They have been together since 2003.

The B-52's are one of my favorite groups. I remember attending the CD release party for Cosmic Thing at the now defunct club Probe in Los Angeles, CA.

It was an exciting evening and the crowd was treated to a live performance by the group who arrived to the party in style on a Cadillac Convertible.

Pierson addressed accepting herself to Spin in it's February 2015 issue:

"All our friends — so many friends are gay or lesbian and transgender. We’re just in that world. We all went through the devastating time of the AIDS crisis and I think that galvanized us to be more activists — AIDS activists. I think through that struggle we’ve tried to do a lot of benefits and stuff. I think the meaning of ‘gay' became more solidified," she told the mag. "One of the things the B-52s wanted to accomplish was for people to embrace their difference and encourage people to be who they are and accept themselves."

Feel the love with the B-52's at:

Dudley Saunders - The Man In The Game

Dudley Saunders - The Man In The Game
Here is  the second lyric video from Dudley Saunder's IN THESE BOXES. The Man In The Game. Here is the text that precedes it. 

Generations pass and it’s the 1990s.  I am living in New York at the height of the AIDS crisis, and this teenage boy is living in a trailer in eastern Kentucky. He lives with his grandmother, who has diabetes and sleeps a lot, and there are no men at home.  But there is a man in the video game, and he talks to him, and invites him into manhood, of a kind.

Check out the video and song by this talented guy after the jump!
