Is he THAT successful as a DJ ? More talented and more relevant musicians from the 80´s are close to being broke these days, and he, of all people, is still around ? With those two or three hits he had in the 80´s ? That´s the biggest surprise to me, because the last time I heard of him was in Cuxhaven/Germany, a ridiculously small "show", and not much ever since. I´m merely asking because of a pop cultural interest , I´m not condemning him. So, how did he manage to stay afloat ? simple. he realized that he needed to find another occupation since the singing thing wasnt enough anymore, so he chose djing. He's actually climbing up in the DJ world. George is a resident dj at god knows what club in NYC, and he tours the country regularly. In fact, back in 04, he was in Houston playing at some really popular club. also, it helps that he did successful reunion tours with Culture Club and that he was a spokesperson for MAC cosmetics. Also, he formed a fashion label,B-Rude, though i dont know how much he makes off of it considering that it's only available in NYC. [Edited 10/8/05 8:22am] and the musical (are you talking about TABOO?) was financed by Rosie O'Donnell...actually he's done enough to keep a modest apartment in Manhattan, I would think...I have artist friends (make-up, photogs, stylists and the like) who, if they only do jobs for fashion editorial make relatively crap money, but somehow manage to keep a place in the City... | |

I just read that Boy George could get 15 years if convicted. Fifteen years? For having blow in the apartment? That's too fucking extreme. I think police should spend less time punishing 80s icons who may or may not be snortin some nose candy and concentrate on trying to bust murderers or rapists. Those are the real criminals | |
