Still On About Keith Cole
Inspired by The Cockettes, musical art star darlings KIDS ON TV have never looked and sounded so good. A music video where the KIDS are the kids, the mother a gift-bearing fairy wood nymph and the father a high-heeled, nosey prude. Modern-day family values brought to life by director and subject Keith Cole, “Still On About Keith Cole” is a hippy, trippy homage to our queer past.
