It’s been a couple of weeks since I released my cover of “We Can’t Stop” and shit has been crazy ever since (in a good way). The video has over 40,000 views as of this moment (exactly 2 weeks after it was uploaded) but every time I check that number grows, and it’s not just on the Miley cover – It’s ALL of my videos from over the years. Additionally, I suddenly have over 65,000 Twitter followers and over 13,000 Facebook fans, so…thank you Hannah Montana! Everything rules so hard right now.

The single is now available worldwide in the iTunes Music Store as well as Amazon and everywhere else music is sold online, courtesy of RCA Records / Sony Entertainment Music (Miley’s label!) Click HERE to get yours.

Good times, right??!

Thanks for all the love, friends. I can feel it!

Nothing Is Sacred: An Interview With Margaret Cho

I previously reported that actress & comedian Margaret Cho is bringing her new stand-up show “Mother” to the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland this November, and this week I had the pleasure of interviewing this amazing, hilarious talent for Queer Voices on QBlog!

Margaret and I talked about gay men and their mother figures, what it’s like to have intersecting minority identities these days in Hollywood, how weird “Dancing With The Stars” fame is, and much more.

Margaret Cho: (Laughs) Well, it is about a lot of different things. It’s about my own mother a little, but it’s also about being at the age where everybody perceives you to be a mother. In your 30’s and 40’s you’re kind of looked at as a mother figure, and then I have a lot of friends who are younger than me, who consider me kind of the maternal figure in their lives. Certainly as a hag, you know, like, a fag hag, you get to this stage where you become like a mother, where they just start calling you mother. That’s a great place to get to, that grand dame queen mother identity; so that’s part of what the show is, too.

Logan Lynn: Do you feel like that’s why gay men have historically been so magnetized your way? Do you fill some sort of mother-shaped void for us?

Margaret Cho: I think that’s true. I think it’s why sometimes gay culture is Read the rest of this entry »
