Today on the VE....Romeo or Julliet by any other name....still the most romantic story ever told. and those characters figure in many songs...I'll spin those Montague and Capulet-referencing records....and..a salute to a pop star who became an unlikely hero of feminism and same-sex relationships...a female teen idol who sang the heart of unrequited love..and occasional conquest. Remembering Leslie Gore.
