Piedmont) and 10th:
DIAMOND LIL & the MOONSHADOW
SALOON CONCERT
Diamond turned me onto a wonderful new site www.queermusicheritage.com by whom she was recently interviewed and there are many performance drag artists featured on that site.
Speaking of CDs, The Electric label has MOON GODDESS the British version with a bonus track of Jude Rawlins and I dueting on the "The LAST TIME" by the Rolling Stones.
Speaking of great PR, Larry and I have a friend called Roy Rogers who is probably one of the best promoters.
MY GOD I'd love to be there with you and Larry T
and crew, but I am in ATL for Easter and then have to hit FLORIDA with the
family girlz...Angie, I miss you so much it's criminal! As soon as Outsider fest
is done I am
coming out your way for a visit. And dear Michael, sigh, going to Atlanta will
remind me of those days all over again, sentimental fop that I am!
I want Larry T on our float for WEHONA for gay pride!!! What fun would THAT be!
With YOU as well. Sally Kirkland has already agreed to participate...just
think!!!!! And for historic preservation, no better cause, perhaps!
:Love always--Roy Rogers

Have Americans lost their freedom of speech?
Are we frightened to voice our discontent with the manner in which our taxes are being used to kill innocents? If you feel disempowered, click on the ACTION Page (BELOW) of The Nation.
It is easy to write your local government officials and George Bush. Let's register our discontent.

Should we agree with a government that is drawing up plans to strike Iran? Here's what Jayne County had to say:
AND
I already know where I will FLEE if and when THEY come after me!!! OSLO,
NORWAY!!! It is INCREDIBLE there!!! I write ALOT of irrate letters
to all the politicians. Hell, I even called the fucking Whitehouse!! I am sure
they have a long list on ,me!!! But hey, I am a loud mouthed bitch,
who ain*t afraid on nothin! A fighter and survivor. Those motherfuckers
ain*t gonna get me down! I FIGHT BACK!!! XX Jayne County

Jayne also had this to say about the above link:
Well, I must say, I agree with this. Why should we as artists let anyone no matter what religion, stomp on our freedom of expression. we are artists and we have the right to insult any one or any religion we want as far as I am concerned, THEY NEED INSULTING! They are ignorant, backward bigoted assholes. And they can kiss my shitty, royal, trans ass! I can insult Allah, Jesus, Buddah anyone I want! Anyone who wants to repress freedom of expression or speech needs to live in an environment that that suits their own ignorant beliefs! And there are many countries to choose from!!! Iran, North Korea or get in a fucking time machine and go live in NAZI GERMANY. In other words, any organization or religion who wants to prevent me from exercising my freedom of speech or expression IS MY ENEMY!!!! x Jayne PS. I say to them. FUCK YOU!!!

Thank you Biba, (my niece in Leeds) for your lovely note inquiring as to how Stacia is. Stacia called the other day and she is fine.
Looks as though she will be visiting us over Easter; wish I could scoop her up and take her to London with me so that you all could meet my lovely daughter, my little girl but she’s 25 now and not really little any more except to us mothers!
