Margaret Cho and Girlyman's Young James Dean

In this video exclusive, dapperQ brings you the back story of a new music video just released by the unparalleled Margaret Cho called "Young James Dean." The song, written by Girlyman's Ty Greenstein, is both performed by Girlyman and lip-synched by a wide range of gender queers, transmen and allies who bring even greater poignancy and power to its words. We've titled the piece, "Margaret Cho and a Young James Dean" to imply both parallels between Ty's quintessentially dapperQ presence and Margaret's production which has served up a veritable cornucopia of young James Deans.
