No matter how hard I try, I truly cannot think of anything under-appreciated about the 90s. It was a horrible time.
APBM,
What is the most OVERRATED thing about the 90s?

The Phantom Menace. I'm sorry, but this is not debatable. Ever.

Absolutely Portman's Blandest Movie
What catchy name should this almost-completed decade be assigned ? (ie-- something like "The Roaring Twenties," "The 'Me' Decade," etc.)

Nah. If you date its origin from "Rappers Delight," (1979) I'd have to say that hip-hop has well outlasted disco.
Actually Prefer Blues Music
So, do you still own music in its archaic physical form (CD, Tape, Vinyl), or have you totally moved on to downloads and never looked back ?

I have a fairly mild fear of heights that generally only strikes when I'm in a structure that does not seem rock-solid. I was on a wide factory tower once, and the whole thing vibrated; even going nowhere near the edge that threw me off far more than being atop a cliff 500 feet high. Ditto being top a mobile scaffold only 30 feet up, but it felt wobbly. But also, in the CN Tower, there is a section of glass floor where you can look straight down; I could not walk on it (the rest of the Tower visit was okay).

Theoretically, I could have been in Dallas on November 22, 1963, however I was busy learning to walk.

Have you ever been surprized to find out a famous person was gay?

Several times: George Takei, Sarah Gilbert, and John Inman (one should never assume that an actor is anything like a character he or she portrays) come to mind. I suppose it's hetero-centric of me to have assumed that they weren't gay, but, in each case, they had been familiar TV presences long before they "came out."
APBM,
Other than sexual orientation, what is the most surprising thing you've learned about any celebrity?

Usually the most surprising thing is finding out instances where really "cool" celebs (by media standards) have totally dorky qualities about them. I should expect almost all people have those qualities but its interesting to know the details. For instance: Vin Diesel is majorly into Dungeons and Dragons! Who knew? I never really cared much about him before but that tidbit actually makes me like him.
APBM,
What's an instance where you didn't really care for someone and something changed your opinion and made you do a complete 180--so that you began to like, respect or genuinely care for the person?

When I was a kid, I had a batty old great aunt in Spain who I always found really annoying whenever my family went to visit her ... one visit, out of nowhere, she began to tell these hysterical stories about her childhood that I found really endearing ... after that, I loved to be around her, and I was sad to hear she recently passed away ...
