Bay Area Reporter has been immortalized in films and TV series; Milk, And the Band Played On, even a few gay porn films. But this is new; a poem about our famous 'No Obits' headline has been set to music. Under the editorship of the late Mike Salinas, August 13, 1998 marked the first issue in years that did not have any submitted obituaries. As Salinas knew, it marked a shift in the ongoing AIDS pandemic. For a moment, or at least one week, no obituaries had been submitted. The stunning headline would be commemorated at several anniversaries, in our publication, other newspapers, and TV news shows.
