JOHNNY IS NOT ONLY QUEER, HE IS FLAMIN’ AS THE LA PRIDE FESTIVAL PRESENTS JOSIE COTTON ON THE WAMU MAINSTAGE SATURDAY, JUNE 9TH AT 7:45 PM

Josie Cotton , the ’80s pop icon—who caused a stir among religious conservatives and the then-uptight gay community in New York–is happy to declare, once and for all, yes, Johnny is not only queer, he is flamin’, as she gets set to perform on the WAMU Mainstage at the 2007 LA PRIDE Festival on Saturday, June 9th at 7:45 PM .

The musical performances for 2007 were voted on by vistors of the LA PRIDE website over the winter and include such notable acts as Berlin and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts .  Josie will be performing the mega-hit “Johnny Are You Queer” as well as new material.

Last year Josie returned from self-imposed music industry exile with Movie Disaster Music , her most critically acclaimed release to date.  With momentum in full gear, Josie is set to release Invasion of the B Girls , a campy collection of B movie theme songs from movies such as Faster Pussycat Kill Kill , She Devils On Wheels , and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls .
