The rumors were certainly around by then, but he wasn't publicly out until the public restroom incident which was several years later.
Thanks. I was in college then, and missed a whole lot of music and telelvision because I was so busy (this was pre everything being on the internet!) I remembered the restroom incident, but wasn't sure where to put it in order. I do remember watching the concert, which, looking at the date, seems impossible because we didn't have cable at school.
I can't think of many out male musicians, even today, which is making me sad, too.
I love This Land is Your Land. That song makes me tear up.
The floating
power rangers
are freaky and evil.
Jackie Chan?
Seriously? Please make him stop singing!
Oh, yeah, TLIYL is a total sucker punch for me, both of memories and meaning. I had cognative dissonance when I heard it sung at a waaay conservative location (jesus, I don't want to get into how unwelcome I felt just by signs alone) in Waco and cheered, but was prompted to recall it can hold a lot more interpretations than Guthrie intended. Which both irritated me and made me hold a little hope. It's a damned protest song that all those die-hard conservative-hating-my-peoples Texans were embracing. Now that's true subversion!
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Ah Woody...
HAWT FLOOR. What finish did you use?
diamond varathane water based poly satin finish
in this area a coat dries in about an hours --might take 2 up in your area. Matt used the gloss on guitars --- very shiny.
olympic watchers -- have you seen this?

It takes a couple hours with the heat cranked, at least, as I recall from when my in-laws have done their floors.
When/if we refinish the floors upstairs, I'm still wedded to using Osmo Hardwax Oil. LOVE the stuff.
Beth, that was UH MAY ZING
I'm finally watching the closing ceremonies. Turns out the Lopez siblings all medaled. You'd think NBC might have shown us a little Tae Kwon Do what with the Visa ads and all.
