Brazen self-promotion
« on: June 08, 2006, 06:38:49 pm »
For those who may not have already seen it, in the June issue of POZ, the cover story with out HIV+ gay jazz great Andy Bey is written by yours truly.

And just published by University of Wisconsin Press is CAST OUT: QUEER LIVES IN THEATER. It's a collection of pieces by and about lesbians and gays in American theater. My interviews with multiple Tony award winners Cherry Jones and director/producer George C. Wolfe are among them.

That's it... for June.

Cheers,

Andy

You shameless hussy--promoting yourself in such a brazen way!

I am shocked I tell you!   :o  Simply shocked!


Seriously, I haven't read the Poz article, nor do I know much about theater, but I'll check both of em out now that I know you've put your tag line on em.

Good for you Andy!   :)

Oh, Andy...

I'm so embarrassed for you. 

Next thing you know, you'll want everyone to know about the link the article on the POZ website:

http://www.poz.com/articles/751_5115.shtml

I suppose if the article wasn't so damn well written and interesting, I'd encourage you to hang you head in shame.

Thanks and congrats!

Andy...Very nice job with your interview with jazz singer Andy Bey...Truthfully I have never heard of the man but I do love Ella Fitzgerald and have some albums with her and also teamed with the wonderful Louis Armstrong...Ditto the great Billie Holiday...And your article is all about him and not you, that is probably what you are like as a person...Furthermore Newark (I've never been there despite spending most of my life in New York) is coming back just like Bey!!!  That's encouraging as well.

Take care Mr. Chips.

Thanks for all the kind comments. Andy Bey is a lovely guy with a lot of grit and courage. In a world innundated with hype, it's a pleasure to write about such a fine artist.
