Context

Fifth Column talks about their nature ("we're nothing if not inconsistent"), the difficulty getting acknowledgement for their work (still happening today believe it or not), plus an amusing game of "what if?" involving celebrity deaths.

Upcoming gigs at the 1992 Lesbian & Gay Pride Day and a defunct Queen Street Club are referenced.
