.:40 years of stone wall:.

On Friday evening, June 27, 1969, the New York City tactical police force raided a popular Greenwich Village gay bar, the Stonewall Inn. Raids were not unusual in 1969; in fact, they were conducted regularly without much resistance. However, that night the street erupted into violent protest as the crowds in the bar fought back. The backlash and several nights of protest that followed have come to be known as the Stonewall Riots.

Prior to that summer there was little public expression of the lives and experiences of gays and lesbians. The Stonewall Riots marked the beginning of the gay liberation movement that has transformed the oppression of gays and lesbians into calls for pride and action. In the past forty years we have all been witness to an astonishing flowering of gay culture that has changed this country and beyond, forever.

i am here because of stonewall. i can dance with my man, i can hold his hand because the stones that were thrown only provided the motivation for queens like me to sit on a throne. pay homage. change for one is change for all.

this was the fourth single released from her 1994 life goes on album. although added to q102 in philadephia, the song, produced by victor franco (where the hell has he been lately) failed to make a national impact. personally, i think the single would have received massive airplay had it been released as the second single, following the h0t 100 charting promise me. this song remains of my faves. enjoy! oh yeah, remember to head over to amazon or itunes to check out her new single dance tonight.

such human nature it was to dance our backs from off the wall

when your voice commanded us

to dance, shout and shake our bodies down to the ground.

man, you walked on the moon before our eyes

and we said "damn, that boy is bad!"

so dangerous it was to be so young and famous

in a world so ready to pick you apart

until you were workin' day and night

to piece together the man in the mirror.

but you never lost your jam

even as you searched for your childhood gone too soon.

you managed to help heal the world

even when healing yourself proved to be impossible.

and so like butterflies,

i am left in awe as you fly away.

so instead of saying goodbye,

i say thank you.

rest in peace.

rest in piece.

rest.

.:i just can't stop loving you:.

i went back and fourth on if i said post this or not. my reservations were that he has, in the past, made homophobic statements. but as i grow old gracefully, and i mean hella gracefully, i realize that is not always fair to measure a person simply by the weight of their words. so because the universe has provided me with several chances when i stated things that were classist, sexist and even homophobic, i will do the same for mr. rhymes. so with that said, this song is hot! :-) thanks boogie! you spoil me, you know!

the first time i flew on a plane was in 1995 on my way to chicago for a show with soniya. back then i was dancing with maritza (she would go on to record a couple of tunes with taz including a song i co-wrote entitled sometimes). it was a blast, although we stayed at some run-down hotel that probably charged by the hour lol. one of my fave routines was for this tune. i'd give anything to perform these songs again but soniya no longer sings secular music. here's to the 90s. here's to my teen years. here's to freestyle! special thanks to sandro @ http://freestyle12single.blogspot.com/ for the remix.
