A perpetual Pride playlist
Angel Olsen Pride should last year-round, and now your Pride playlist can, too GREGG SHAPIRO | Q MusicGreggShapiro@aol.com Pride month may have come and gone in many major cities, but not everyone celebrates Pride in June.
South Florida, for example, has Pride celebrations in January (in Hollywood), February (in Fort Lauderdale), March (in West Palm Beach/Lake Worth) and April (in Miami Beach), in addition to June (in Wilton Manors).
Austin observes Pride in August, while San Diego celebrates in July, and Las Vegas celebrates in October. Speaking of South Florida, one-man-show Randy Rainbow who spent his formative years in the region, finally released his full-length solo album A Little Brains, A Little Talent (Broadway).
Of course, anyone familiar with Rainbow knows he has more than a little anything. For the album, Rainbow chose to cover showtunes, adding his distinctive humorous touch to numbers including the title cut (complete with a Mar-a-Lago reference), a three-way take on “You Gotta Get a Gimmick” with Sean Hayes and Josh Gad and a fab duet with Tituss Burgess on “Bosom Buddies.” But really, you want to hear his genius parody pop, don’t you?
