He's managed to become one of Singapore's most popular celebrities -- despite the fact that the rich city/state is also known as a repressed society that likes to stifle political dissent and free speech. Its one-party government keeps a tight reign on the island's 4 million citizens, and sex -- let alone being gay or lesbian -- are not things that are officially talked about. Yet, Ho has managed to survive as a counter culture pop rebel, singer and writer who happens to be gay. He's also the author of a new book. This Way Out's BRYAN GOEBEL [with production assistance by PAUL JAFFE] reports from Singapore (includes Ho reading one of his poems and snippets from his music) [10:40]. . . . 10:50 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:15 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ----------------------------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", SINGAPORE'S HO SHAKES UP CITY/STATE SENSIBILITIES, WHILE QUEER CAMP AND A SCI-FI SEND-UP ARE NEWLY "OUT ON VIDEO"...
