Episode 9 - The Two-year-old Who Loved Jane Fonda (Jake Shears & Dan Savage)

Starting a conversation with Jake Shears is easy. Ending one is hard ... because he has so many INSANE stories about his career in pop music. As the lead singer of the band Scissor Sisters he shot to stardom at a young age and became a queer icon for a generation of people looking to see themselves represented in music. On this week's episode of Why Here, he joins hosts Tristan McAllister and Benton Whitley to talk about his journey to becoming a solo artist, his love of Dolly Parton, what Elton John once said to him in a dressing room and what he wishes he'd known when he first found fame. And, at the end a "Savage" friend joins us to talk about Jake's coming out story.
