 `Stonewall' -- Gay History Lite
Ditto drag hostess Bostonia (Duane Boutte) and Vinnie (Bruce MacVittie), the closeted gay Mafioso who keeps her in furs and a long limo.
Finch, who died of AIDS last year shortly after filming ``Stonewall,'' wasn't interested in quoting gay history texts, but wanted instead to capture an essence of the late '60s -- when a generation of gay castoffs fought back against oppression.
At the same time, it's tough reconciling Finch's wish to honor a piece of gay history -- and motivate a new generation of gays and lesbians -- with his habit of playing fast and loose with the events meant to inspire them.

In the spring of 2003, Terry Collingsworth was holed up in a Bangkok hotel, meeting with a group of Burmese villagers.
Terrified by horrors they'd witnessed in Burma, the villagers had contacted local human rights activists, who in turn had gone to Collingsworth, executive director of a small Washington nonprofit called the International Labor Rights Fund, for salvation.
Now, almost 10 years later, over the course of days in the hotel, Collingsworth was still sifting through the tales of abuse.

I like to play (Scott tube amplifier/ Recocut turn-table) "Ray Charles in Person" (Atlantic), the live recording of a concert he gave in Atlanta, May 28,'59, when the Fifties finished peaking and the car colors went from desert rose and turquoise into Vietnam era drab greens and tan metallics).
A great performance of "What'd I Say" and "The Right Time", with Marjorie Hendricks' ferocious screams, caught by a single WAOK mike a hundred feet in front of the stage.
Yes, you're right: "the angrily burning eyes in his massive head." The recording catches Howlin' Wolf's harsh power and the howl he was apparently trying to copy from Jimmie Rodgers' yodel, most eerily so in "Somebody Walkin' In My House", also called "Somebody in My Home" (Chess single, 1957).
