    Now THIS is an interview. Attended their concert last night in Vancouver. It was transcendent. 💜

    Tom has an incredible ability to summarize answers while diving deeper with his interviews. Sam seemed to be so at ease and comfortable sharing with Tom and the world. Great interview, wish it had gone on for longer.

    I gladly join you on your journey. I appreciate and love you and your music. In a way…. Your music is therapy for me. I feel trapped in a shell and sad that I am unable to be who I am.

    Glad you liked this interview but hard disagree, Tom is the best interviewer I’ve seen IMO. He humanize these artists way more than any other interviewer I’ve seen.

    It is an homage to Madonna, Lady Gaga, Britney, JLo, Beyoncé and many other artists. The dance sequences and situations have all been already done by all those female artists in videos. Sam is paying tribute to these queer icons.
