That torch was symbolically received by WILSON CRUZ, the young gay actor whose roles in the television series "My So-Called Life" and "Party of Five" have given him a unique opportunity to be a role model - and a rabble-rouser as well, as he challenged the next generation to continue the fight for equality [intro+Cruz=2:20]. The first onstage to accept Cruz' challenge was SOL KELLEY-JONES, the daughter of a Wisconsin lesbian couple who's been an activist since grade school, and at 13 is the youngest member of the founding board of COLAGE -- Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere [4:30] [outro music from "Best Friend (The Unicorn Song)" by MARGIE ADAM and back I.D./tag=:50] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:40 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by ZRAZY (with an excerpt from their "Come Out, Everybody") [:20] + Whatever your favorite style of music, chances are someone gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered plays it. While most are still on independent or self-produced labels, if you think these talented musicians get scant recognition, think again. At the fourth annual GAY/LESBIAN AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS - the GLAMA's - lesbigay and trans artists were nominated for the "gay Grammys" in a broader range of categories than ever before. In the conclusion of their 2-part on-scene coverage of the April 24th gala in New York City, This Way Out's CHRIS WILSON and CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM report on the top GLAMA award recipients and feature the music of winners FRED HERSCH ("The Nearness of You" from "Live at Jordan Hall: Let Yourself Go"), JOHN BOSWELL ("Recollection" from "Love"), PATRICK ARENA and ANDY MONROE ("Night Cap"), MESHELL NDEGÉOCELLO ("Beautiful" from "Bitter"), and CHRISTIAN ANDREASON ("Everybody Else" from "A Boy Called Sue"), with comments by Hersch, Ndegéocello and Andreason [7:50]. . . . . . . . . . . . . >. . . . . 8:10 [online sources mentioned for info about queer music & musicians: www.glama.com and www.outvoice.com] Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:40 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email "TWO" Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", MILLENNIUM MARCHERS HEAR FROM THE NEXT GENERATION'S WILSON CRUZ AND SOL KELLEY-JONES, AND THE TOP "OUT" MUSICIANS TAKE THEIR BOWS AT NEW YORK'S NIGHT OF "GLAMA"...
