Boston rocker: Juliana Hatfield sings Olivia Newton-John

Posted on January 25, 2018 | Leave a comment

Olivia Newton John, A little more loveA little known fact about your’s truly is that I spent most of my 20s seeing local bands play rather than dancing at clubs. One of those local musicians who I really loved was / is Juliana Hatfield. She had brief brush with mainstream success with songs like Universal Heartbeat and Spin the Bottle, but the quirky rocker from Boston was always more at home under the radar.

Last year I saw her for the first time in years and she still sounds great. At the ACLU benefit here in Boston Juliana performed her song Short Fingered Man, a song about a certain someone living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue these days.

So when I heard a track from her forthcoming Olivia Newton-John tribute album on Kenneth in the (212), I instantly started playing her cover A Little More Love.  The CD won’t be available until April 13th but you can pre-order it on Amazon, here: Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John.

Vintage gay

Posted on January 25, 2018 | Leave a comment

Unfortunately between the time I wrote this post and today, the video of the 1945 Gay Home Movie on YouTube came down. The video in question was discovered by St. Louis filmmaker Geoff Story when he stumbled upon some old film reels at an estate sale at a mansion on Lindell Boulevard in St. Louis, which used to be the home of the now-deceased Buddy Walton.

Fortunately you can still watch the brief video here.

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Lyric Stage Co’s, Road Show

Posted on January 24, 2018 | Leave a comment

Stephen SondheimLooking for a date night suggestion for a friend who loves musicals? Perhaps you’d like to check out The Lyric Stage Company’s latest production, Road Show.  The Sondheim musical made its New England debut when it opened at the Lyric Stage Co. earlier this month and it runs through February 11th.

Road Show was inspired by a New Yorker article Stephen Sondheim read about the real-life Mizner brothers, Addison and Wilson, who were born in California in the late 1800s. Beginning at the deathbed of their father who encourages them to go out and mold the new nation, the musical spans the globe from the Klondike gold rush to India, Hawaii, Guatemala, New York, and eventually the real-estate boom of Boca Raton, Florida. Over 40 years, the brothers seek out the amorphous and elusive American Dream through the booms and busts of the early 20th century, with bouts of brotherly love and hate. The musical travelogue takes a close look at the optimism and opportunism of the time through the lens of two ambitious, eccentric, and charming individuals.

TennisKyle Edmund is a 23 year old professional tennis player with a big serve and a surprisingly strong start to the 2018 tennis season. Currently ranked 49, his ranking is certain to jump after Edmund stunned everyone at the Australian Open when he beat #3 Grigor Dimitrov in the Quarter Finals.

If you enjoy tennis, you’ll like his photos of life as a player traveling to play tennis tournaments around the globe. His life is so different and seems exotic as compared to my routine.

Get sweaty with Boston’s Ironsides rugby team

Posted on January 23, 2018 | Leave a comment

gay boston, gay boston rugby, gay rugby teamDid you make a New Year’s resolution to get out, do more, be more active? Did you tell yourself that you want to meet more / new people? Boston Ironsides Rugby Football Club might be a group you should check out. They are hosting their first spring practice (indoors – don’t worry) this coming Saturday, January 27th and newcomers are welcome. No prior experience is necessary.

Practice will take place at the BSC Medford (easily accessible from the Orange Line, Wellington Station). Head to the basketball court on the second floor; ready to get sweaty by 2:00 PM. Come with workout clothes, a jump rope (if you have one) and water bottle. Following practice, the club will host an informal meet-and-greet with pizza at The Alley bar in Downtown Crossing. Email: bostonironsidesinfo@gmail.com with any questions.

Check out the FB event page for more information here

Many use the New Year as an opportunity to make resolutions. A common resolution is to be more active and meet people, but that can be difficult for gay men in Boston. Starting in 2018, I want to feature the LGBTQ groups and organizations that help people connect and enrich Boston’s gay life.

If you’d like to have your club / team featured, please email me at bosguymail@gmail.com or via FB messenger.
