February 1, 1996: I concluded that the most political thing one can do is to be oneself

Thirty years ago today  

            On Thursday I probably posed somewhere. I rehearsed for my feature at the “Partying into the 21st Century” event on February 3. I had been asked to make a political statement and so I was working out what my statement would be. I concluded that the most political statement one can make is to be one’s self. I began to formulate a way to express being myself in my performance.
