This is the first all-'90s show since the first '90s episode way back in June. There's another one coming after this. Since the '90s is the decade that I probably knew the
least about as far as R&B is concerned (my hip hop knowledge being only slightly better), a lot of these selections and artists are relatively new to me. And somehow, someway, Boy George managed to creep into the lineup. To paraphrase his Grammy speech back in the '80s, I know a good drag queen when I see one.
