That's why every now and again we like to dust off some of This Way Out's own archival treasures -- and what better time for a recollection of the past than as we launch a New Year? LUCIA CHAPPELLE introduces dramatic coverage of what came to be known as the "White Night Riots" in an excerpt from "DIMINISHED CAPACITY", a documentary produced by GREG GORDON about the November 1978 assassinations of San Francisco's first openly gay Supervisor Harvey Milk and its gay-friendly Mayor George Moscone by conservative former Supervisor Dan White, and the aftermath of their murders (with excerpts from "Better Decide Which Side You're On" and "Law & Order" by THE TOM ROBINSON BAND). . . . . 7:05 SEGMENT #3 - Support public radio/"TWO" I.D. by openly lesbian singer/songwriter JANIS IAN [:15] + Although you may never have heard of BEN PATRICK JOHNSON, you have almost certainly heard his voice. One of the busiest voice-over artists in Hollywood, he's done trailers for countless films and introduces many a popular television show (you'll hear a montage of several examples). In his spare time Johnson is a record producer, a beefcake calendar model, and now a novelist. His new book "IN AND OUT IN HOLLYWOOD" [Parlari Press] mixes fact with fiction to chronicle the unexpected prejudices the main character encounters when he is hired as the original anchor of a well known entertainment TV news program, only to be replaced when he comes out as a gay man ­- not coincidentally, a close parallel to Johnson's own true story. This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE chats with him about his book, and about sexual politics in showbiz (with brief outro music from "Constant Thing" by JESSE HULTBERG) [8:05] . . . . 8:20 [www.benpatrick.com] Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:20 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", AN ALMOST "EXTRA" GAY MAN'S STORY OF BEING "IN & OUT IN HOLLYWOOD", AND RECALLING THE SAN FRANCISCO QUEER COMMUNITY’S "DIMINISHED CAPACITY" FOR INJUSTICE...
