It's Virgo('s Groove) Season and we have been blessed by the queen! Beyoncé Knowles (female pop vocalist) Carter brought her record-breaking, epic, indelible Renaissance World Tour to Los Angeles, California earlier this month, and we were there to witness it! (well, 2/3rds of us were, but Eric has watched multiple YouTube recordings of the tour, so he was with us in spirit).
Our friend Eriel Brown joins us to talk about why Beyoncé is, without question, our greatest living performer. We talk the Renaissance album, her birthday show, the tour as a whole and its myriad cultural inspirations, how it pays homage to Black queerness and Black femmes, our mixed feelings on the special guests/openers at the LA leg of the tour, Blue Ivy being an absolute star, and finally, we try to answer a question that has become a topic of HEATED debate that has been ALL UP IN OUR MINDs for months now, which is:
"Brechtyoncé: Was the Renaissance Tour a piece of dialectical theatre akin to the works of 20th Century German playwright Bertolt Brecht?"
(spoiler alert, our answer is: "well,,, sorta kinda!")
So get COZY and enjoy the ENERGY we bring to this long-awaited episode dedicated entirely to Queen Bey!
What Else We're Gay For:
ERIEL: Reneé Rapp's debut album Snow Angel
LAURENCE: Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue (1997)
ERIC: Halloween Horror Nights 2023 @ Universal Studios Hollywood
