THE PINK INVATION!
Interesting to note that at the moment there are three songs in the charts which deal exclusively with gay issues. The most obvious of them must be Boy George's "No Clause 28", which should be bought by every gay man and woman, thus ensuring that it gets into the Top 10 and shows how strongly we feel about this fascist piece of legislation. Comments voiced on RTE Radio 2 have ranged from it being a "very politically motivated" song to full descriptions of the Section and why the song was written. Well done Geoige!
Along the same lines is Erasure's "Chains of Love", which is also a good song in its own right.
Of the Communard's "There's More to Love (than Boy meets Girl)", Radio 2's Night Train Extra has been overheard saying: "It's a good song, but I'm not so sure about the sentiments". Well, Radio 2,1 am.
Also recently heard on Night Train Extra, the new single from the Joan Collins Fan Club, an outrageous version of "Leader of the Pack". Followers of the London carbaret scene will be familiar with the wonderfully camp TJCFC (or, if you prefer, Julian Clary).
