Tracy Chapman: We Love a Queer B**** (w/ Segun Oluwadele)

Allen Darby/ Segun Oluwadele Season 1 Episode 3

This week Allen welcomes singer/songwriter Segun Oluwadele to get into the multiplicity of the one, the only, Tracy Chapman! We start off by talking about lying to our therapists. Segun recounts being compared to Tracy from a young age (okay, brag much?). We clutch our pearls for our respective divas. Segun then dives deep into one of Tracy's many incredible ballads, "I Used to be a Sailor." Also, Tracy sang with Pavarotti?!?! Then we discuss the politics of coming out. And Segun defends Tracy's genius to his very last breath and explains how we need to place emotional equity into our divas. Finally, we're dreaming of a Tracy Chapman documentary, complete with sit down interview by none other than Segun himself. Come drive this Fast Car with us! *wink*
