Y'all, I was kinda bugged out doing this episode. I keep congratulating myself on five shows. Chile, this one is just my 4th. But this episode is still kinda special. I've included an excerpt from a conversation I had about Paris Is Burning in 1992 with my friend, the late--and legendary--black, gay poet, editor, performer and activist Essex Hemphill. I hope you enjoy and that I learn how to count.

Craig gives his take on the presenters, performers, winners, and losers at the 2019 Grammys, including Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Janelle Monae, Cardi B, Ariana Grande, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes, Drake, and Chloe x Halle.

In this episode, Craig sounds off on the blackface controversies in Virginia, the legacy of Dilla, "The Grammy Curse," and while I'm still not feeling Craig David.
