HTDJ 114: Pride Edition

Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Tomorrow is Oakland Pride, the closing event of the pride season in the SF Bay Area. And I realized that most of the time the music we hear for pride is straight pop singers. So today's show is all queer bands/musicians in celebration of queer creativity and visibility. Happy pride!
