Reply to "The Cockettes"

I was too young (and on the wrong coast) to have experienced any of the Cockettes magick firsthand, except in one small way - I bartended at Hibiscus's memorial service at Danceteria a decade after the period this film documents. I remember being intrigued by these glittering elders - so captivating and charismatic even in their grief - and knowing instinctively that someday their mysteries would be revealed.

Finally, last night, twenty years later I got that chance, and was completely destroyed in the best possible way. Repeating the chorus above, you MUST see this film!

Happily, you will have plenty of chances: Correcting my earler post, The Cockettes will be playing at the Quad through July 4, ten screenings a day!
