Thank you MC — GIrlyman is a national treasure. And this 57 year old gay man wishes he were a young lesbian for Ty!

Great job on the video, i saw Girlyman in LA when you opened for them. We all fell in love with Girlyman but especially with Ty. Even the straight ones fell in love with Ty. She is so hot, hot, hot.

This video is gorgeous, and so is everyone involved in it. I actually really love that you steered away from anything literal in interpreting “Young James Dean.” This has been one of my absolute favorite songs of all time since the very first moment I clamped ears on it, and I think the video captures the poignancy of the lyrics and the restless energy of the music while at the same time balancing all that longing and loneliness with a feeling of community and confidence and love. A literal staging of the lyrics wouldn’t have delivered the same feelings of inclusion and celebration that this simple, unadorned homage to all of us achieves. Thank you, Margaret Cho, and thank you, girlyman!

Hum…I was hoping for visuals about the diner, the blonde, and the KISS! Even a shot of James would of been great!
I just love this song and will try to see Girlyman every time they come to NC with my daughter Ceci!

@ Amy: Yeah, that redhead in plaid is a total hottie. Cutie indeed.

Margaret, love the video. Did you ever consider a narrative representation of the lyrics? Obviously small, tight segments would be used, but I suspect seeing it would resonate highly with many of us. And, then you can “fix” it and make it all better!

Hugs!
