Added 2022-12-25 17:01:00 +0000 UTCHello there! This week we're taking a peek a some fun Christmas specials and commercials, spanning celebs from Bea Arthur to David Bowie. Also, after last week a few folks suggested I say a few more words about the show Gargoyles, and you don't need to ask me twice.

I will say that Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth is my FAVOURITE song to hear around the holidays.

2023-01-02 04:59:09 +0000 UTCAs a kid in the 70's, Crosby's Christmas shows were the highlight (along with Rankin Bass specials) of the season. That was Bing's last one, he had died a few months earlier. The added material absolutely makes it the best version of that song.

2023-01-01 18:09:37 +0000 UTCMatt, thank YOU for what you do. There is so much LGBTQ history that was lost in the distant past that it would be a shame to lose the history of the more recent past (recent enough that I was alive for it) especially since it's the age of the community coming out of the closet. You're also making it more accessible to people who don't want to read weighty academic tomes. I remember the Crosby/Bowie video making the rounds in the very early days of the internet. It may have even been pre-YouTube. It's been one of my favorite renditions of Drummer Boy simce. The idea that they made it so quickly os a testament to both of their talents.
Zardogs! Zardogs!
