"Let's Go Round Again" by Average White Band - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Average White Band was a rhythm and blues/soul group from Scotland whom shared success in 1974 with a single titled, “Pick Up The Pieces”. The track created a path for AWB to last throughout the late 80’s.

“Let’s Go Round Again” was a track released in 1980 and produced by David Foster who helped to deliver a pop-dance track that became an underground dance hall hit later in the mid-80’s. The track delivers a great vocal, wonderful string arrangements and a power message.

Taking the 1980 film titled, “Somewhere In Time” with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour – a time travel romance story written by Richard Matheson. Scenes from the fantasy-like film accent “Let’s Go Round Again” with sensitivity and purpose. I was happy to bring the two together.

Prince Indicates He Approves of God Striking Down Gays

http://www.towleroad.com/2008/11/prince-indicate.html

Oh, and all that religious music he made like, "Nasty Girls" is so holy - Glenn Rivera

And all those other evil sinners.

R&B singer Prince, who's now a Jehovah's Witness, indicates in a 'Talk of the Town' piece in The New Yorker that he agrees with the most anti-gay interpretations of the Bible:

"Recently, Prince hosted an executive who works for Philip Anschutz, the Christian businessman whose company owns the Staples Center. 'We started talking red and blue,' Prince said. 'People with money—money like that—are not affected by the stock market, and they’re not freaking out over anything. They’re just watching. So here’s how it is: you’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this.' He pointed to a Bible. 'But there’s the problem of interpretation, and you’ve got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn’t. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got blue, you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, 'You can do whatever you want.' Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right.' When asked about his perspective on social issues—gay marriage, abortion—Prince tapped his Bible and said, 'God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, 'Enough.''"

National Protest of Prop 8: San Diego CA - November 15, 2008

FROM PRESS RELEASE:

SAN DIEGO, CA -- Today's March and Rally for Marriage Equality, an
event organized nationally by JoinTheImpact.com and locally by a team
of grassroots volunteers, drew 20,000 protestors, which was the
largest group in California. The crowd marched peacefully along the
2-mile route and the San Diego Police Department did not report any
arrests among participants.

A team of 100 volunteers, desigated with specially created teeshirts,
helped to control the crowd. The San Diego police department thanked
Sara Beth Brooks, the head of the volunteers who organized this march,
for her commitment to a peaceful march, and for the clean up efforts
made by Brooks and her team at their Rally location at County
Administration. The rally site was left exactly as it was found --
without trash or litter of any kind.

A 16,000 square foot gay pride flag was created by 3,000 volunteers
who held pieces of 2x3 posterboard in rainbow colors above their
heads, being cued by speakers to "Show Us Your Pride!" The flag was
captured from the air by several news helicopters.

"This is a win today for the Marriage Equality Movement," said Brooks.
"We had a peaceful, productive protest and it happened without
incident. The San Diego Police Department were extremely helpful and
visible at our event. We worked closely with them to help this event
remain peaceful."

The marchers occupied more than one mile of roadway space; several
lanes of traffic were closed along the march route.

The rally that followed at County Administration Building had a docket
of speakers from all communities -- African American, Latino, and
faith communities. The rally concluded with civil rights lawyer
Gloria Allred, who encouraged the crowd to chant, "We shall overcome!"

“Reincarnation (Coming Back For Love)” by People Like Us – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

“Reincarnation (Coming Back For Love)” by People Like Us – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

People Like Us is a group produced by Paul Crossley and Terry Owen – a large part of the Passion Records dance movement of the mid-80’s. The sound of rolling drums and orchestral keyboards.

“Reincarnation (Coming Back For Love)” was their second single release, which began a fan base for many hardcore dancers and DJs awaiting the next release. The track is simple and moving – a love shared so deep that returning to this existence is well worth it.

I have taken the 1977 horror film, “Audrey Rose” which deals directly with a spiritual reconnection with our world after tragic death. A bit dramatic – yet it fits into my left-field Disco Video Mixes.

The film stars Marsha Mason, John Beck and Anthony Hopkins and was directed by Robert Wise. It has some haunting moments and is probably better read than seen, since the subject and believe is deeper than visuals.

Prop 8 - March for Equality - November 8, 2008

This March was assembled in 2 days and drew 10,000 participants. The passing of Prop 8 we feel is unfair to gays and lesbians - this is our time to stand up for our constitutional rights. We will do what it takes.

The march went from Hillcrest to North Park - 6 miles - and then onto Morley Field for a rally.

It was a peaceful march - no arrests or problems.

“Don Quichotte by Magazine 60 – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Magazine 60 were a French electro-synth band composed of Dominique Regiacorte and Jean-Luc Drion (Drion, Chocolat's, Discotheque). This duo created 1984’s dance track, “Don Quichotte” that became an instant club hit thanks to its catchy keyboard riffs and clever theme.

I have taken the 1972 United Artist film version of the Broadway play, “Man Of LaMancha” with Peter O’Toole, Sophia Loren and James Coco and blended the two for a strange yet somewhat connected Disco Video Mix.

The musical was suggested by the classic novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes, but more directly based on Dale Wasserman's 1959 non-musical television play, I, Don Quixote, which combines a semi-fictional episode from the life of Cervantes with scenes from his novel.

OBAMA - THE ANTI-CHRIST?

I have been researching Obama and his victory on using Google - and so many religious fanatics are convinced that he is "The Anti-christ"!!! (ooo!)

I am not religious in any way and do not believe in any of the nonsense that religion teaches -but if it were fact: How can Obama be the so-called "Anti-Christ" when the real one, if any (Bush) is now finishing up?

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! WE CAN DO IT!

 

NO on Prop 8 March - November 1, 2008

California's Prop 8 is a big part of election this year.

Our NO ON PROP 8 Dinner party was a small intimate table with our closest friends. 2 couples who were married under the new passed law - it is strange now that the religious fanatics and conservatives want to overturn the decision.

These are pictures from a dinner which was orchestrated by my partner, Ken and was incredible. Following dinner we viewed a video of our friends, Dale & Lou's wedding ceremony held 2 weeks ago - it was the first time they watched the footage also. Seeing it on the big screen was fun!

Following dinner we joined our community in a march in Hillcrest at the Gay & Lesbian Center to show our support. 7,000 people showed up for the candlelight march - including our mayor, Jerry Sanders along with his lesbian daughter.

It was great to see allot of young people in support of voting NO on PROP 8 - it was a very uplifting event.
