    I met Harvey Fierstein back around the time when he was writing the book for LaCage aux Folles... He came to the Gay & Lesbian Youth Center in NY. He was gracious, funny and charming. He was also the grand marshall for the Gay Pride parade in 1984. He was on stage at the piere when it started to rain... He said, in his raspiest voice, "It's not really raining, we're just washing our hair." When it started to rain harder, he exclaimed, "Now, we're conditioning!"

    I would NOT have expected a voice like that from someone who looked like a teenager.

    The announcer on this clip was also an interviewee/focal character in the documentary on the Names Project; so many beautiful people from the not-so-distant-past that are no longer with us. It was good to see Vito preserved here on YT. Thank you for this clip.

      🎶Buy your friends an Easter egg for Christmas! Easter eggs are useful as can be!
      Take your Christmas money to your local bunny and you can lay an egg beneath the Christmas tree!
      Easter eggs no longer just for Easter. Now that we got Christmas every day.
      It’s the universal gift! So give a pal a lift
      And buy a Christmas Easter egg today!🎶
