Season 4 of Queer The Music continues with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. In this special extended edition, he and Shears discuss everything from their shared love of The Cramps to vulnerability, masculinity and outlier status in rock music. Homme also reflects on growing up alongside his gay brother and how this shaped his rejection of homophobia and bigotry. The episode notably explores the queer spirit behind Queens of the Stone Age, with Homme revealing that even the band’s name was deliberately chosen to challenge the overt machismo of rock culture.
