oh!! OH!!! lemme guess JUNK!!...

actually..i dont know..he didnt portray the stereotypical junkie....the word crack-cocaine comes to me sometimes when i see his old pics...mind you i love his music..its just....you know.


Maybe he should have read the "Rolling Stone" article about how to get off cocaine! Shit, he was on the cover....the couldn't have made it any easier for him.

Honestly, there are older pics of my mom that kind of look like that but not with the makeup. The makeup kind of looks like her glasses....I know that sounds terrible but it's true.

I used to love Boy George! That dude can really sing. Also if your in your 30's you remember those early days of MTV, he really was a great begining piece to the building blocks of MTV & 80's hyped music.

cool

Solo Boy George is okay. Boy George with Culture Club is music to my ears. They took the best of pop, reggae, soul and dance and made some sweet, sweet music. Time (Clock of the Heart) is one of the finest pop songs ever written, and I will never ever tire of hearing it.


My all time fave Culture Club song (tied with "Victims")! smile


OMG, "Victims" is my favorite Culture Club song of all time! heart the piano in that song, the lyrics, the music, everything about it. A gorgeous, gorgeous ballad! smile
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Let's just say it can be more than a little 'cutting' lol

We've discussed Prince many times, and I could relate some really funny stories!

Boy George's was one of the best singing voices to come out of the 1980's. Very similar to Smokey Robinson's. A talent.

Ooookay.

Umm. Right - they had come close to meeting a number of times over the years, but never close enough. George told me that he went to see the Lovesexy show like I did - the difference being he went to see it on Ecstacy. I said to him 'Well I bet THAT was an experience and a half...' he replied with 'Yeah, and that's understating the fact!' lol

He went to the aftershow:

Official invite to the Camden Palace aftershow (1988)

*front and back sh...


and Cat came up to him and they started chatting. He asked her to take him backstage to meet Prince, and she said that she couldn't do that - much to his disapointment!

But the funniest story he told me was around 94/95 when he was in Paris to DJ for a Versace fashion show, and Prince was in attendance with Mayte. After the show, everyone headed out to a club (I forget the name, sorry) after an hour or so, a man approached George's table, and said: 'Excuse me sir, Prince requests the pleasure of your company' George stuck his tongue out to his friends, and walked towards Prince's table with 'a grin on my face like a kid in sweet shop'.

He arrived at Prince's table, where he said good evening, and Prince said: 'take a seat'. Prince was sat with Mayte, whispering in her ear and playing with her hair when George arrived, wearing a big pair of black sunglasses. George said he's never understood why people do that - 'they just look foolish' he said. (I have to say I agree!)

Nothing was said for a minute or two, and George acted as unphased by it all as he possibly could until Prince piped up: 'I like your earrings' (George said they were a shoulder-length dangly silver affair) lol George said, 'oh thankyou - a bloke in Manchester makes them for me - i'll give you his address if you want' and gently patted Prince's hand in fey abandon. Prince didn;t say another word.

5 minutes passed.

10 minutes passed.

Some posh pasta dish arrived at their table, whereby Prince began canoodling with Mayte, feeding her with his fork, and whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

by now, some 15 minutes had passed by since Prince had last addressed George. George said: 'I thought, fuck this for a game of soldiers!' He got up, leant over and said (somewhat sarcastically) 'enjoy your evening' and left.

He said: 'I walked straight passed my own table and some of my friends followed me into the toilet, where I proceeded to sream in amazement at the surrealness of what had just transpired'

There ya go!

lol

I just downloaded "Don't Take My Mind On A Trip", a song I used to hear on the radio. I like it but Boy's vocals just don't fit the song. He's a great singer but he doesn't seem comfortable here. It would have worked better with a different singer, I think. Is "High Hat" a good disc, worth buying?
