Harvey Milk’s famous 1978 speech on hope.
“Somewhere in Des Moines or San Antonio there is a young gay person who all the sudden realizes that he or she is gay; knows that if their parents find out they will be tossed out of the house, their classmates will taunt the child, and the Anita Bryant’s and John Briggs’ are doing their part on TV. And that child has several options: staying in the closet, and suicide. And then one day that child might open the paper that says “Homosexual elected in San Francisco” and there are two new options: the option is to go to California, or stay in San Antonio and fight. Two days after I was elected I got a phone call and the voice was quite young. It was from Altoona, Pennsylvania. And the person said “Thanks”. And you’ve got to elect gay people, so that thousand upon thousands like that child know that there is hope for a better world; there is hope for a better tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but those who are blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us’s: without hope the us’s give up. I know that you can’t live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you, and you, and you have got to give them hope.” (x)

Classic Interview:
If you were anywhere near a radio in the ’80s, you are likely familiar with Daryl Hall and John Oates. The duo’s string of hits is remarkable—”You Make My Dreams,” “Private Eyes,” “Maneater,” “Out of Touch,” and more. In fact, they are considered the most successful pop duo in music history, with 22 Top 20 singles, six platinum albums, and six albums gone gold. On the surface, Hall & Oates couldn’t be more different from Athens, Georgia’s of Montreal. But of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes grew up on Hall & Oates and harbors a not-so-guilty liking for the pair’s music. “The songs definitely were songs I liked a lot, and actually I had forgotten about them,” says Barnes. “Then within the last four or five years, they sort of came back into my consciousness, and I started realizing how cool those songs are.” Under the Radar hooked up Barnes (who plans to release a new of Montreal album, False Priest, next year) with Daryl Hall and John Oates to discuss the band’s history (showcased in the new box set Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall and John Oates) and what makes Hall & Oates tick. Individually, Hall & Oates keep busy on their own, and they also continue to tour together as a duo. Hall has the webcast Live From Daryl’s House, and Oates has a comedy web series, J-Stache, in the pipeline. Check out part one, where Kevin Barnes interviews Daryl Hall. Here’s part two, where Barnes talks to John Oates and we talk to Barnes about Hall & Oates. (via of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes interviews Daryl Hall and John Oates Part 2 | Under The Radar)
