(Week 43)
This week's RADIOLA features gender-bending vocals (and vocalists) on vintage records--not that there's anything wrong with that. Also on tap are lyrics modified to fit the sex of the singer, a few decidedly politically incorrect numbers, and tributes to three imcomparable gay songwriters.
