In this Pride Month episode of Queue Points, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray dive into Peggy Scott Adams’ 1997 blues classic “Bill.” What happens when a Blues track sparks conversations about queerness, deception, and Black family dynamics in the late ‘90s? Mayhem, y’all. Pure mayhem.

Join us as we explore the cultural shockwaves from “Bill”—from how the song tackled (and sometimes mishandled) LGBTQIA+ visibility, to the tabloid-fueled era that shaped its reception within the Black community. We break down the music video’s casting choices, the history of confronting infidelity in Black music, and why “Bill” still matters today.

We reflect honestly on outdated language and tropes used in the era, and celebrate the resilience and storytelling power of Black artists—then and now.

Happy Pride!
