That's cool but he should be careful cuz the last thing he released reported him 2 the cops. lol

Anyhoo, I thought he was still in prison? I guess not...

I hope he has better luck from now on. smile

He was originally supposed to searve 15 months. But he only did 4 months.
however he is on house arrest for the remainder of the 15 months.
Funny thing is, he can go out, but needs to be at his home by 7pm daily.

I don't understand why everyone is so nice about this guy. He committed a shocking violent crime against another human being. Look at the backlash against Chris Brown, but George just gets away with all this crap.
I used to love him in Culture Club all those years ago too. But over the years he has proven to be a nasty piece of work, always attacking people verbally and doing what he wants no matter how much he hurst other people.
I find him way overrated. His voice is really damaged now. He hasn't had a hit in years but he still gets endless favorable publicity.
Will this interview be another puff piece on him? For once, I'd like to see him challenged and called to account for his rather vicious behavior over the years. But everyone is so entranced by his 80's cute image, they won't see the real guy who is really vile and not that talented.

I'm not a huge CC fan. I can't connect to most of the songs. Compared to the other George (Michael), BG is a minor artist.

But he wrote some great tunes that will always connect him with the early 80s.

The general public, let alone the charts, don't care for him since 20 years.

I was a huge CC fan. But I think the success of the band had a lot to do with the other guys in the band. They never got any credit and George always treated them badly. George didn't write those songs alone.
He has never gotten anywhere on his own.
The thing with George is you might like him if you only know a little about him. But the more you get to know about him, the less you like him. I used to follow his career until I realized he was a total jerk and not as talented as he thinks he is.

Elton sent him a music player. Not a keyboard.

George wouldn't know how to play a keyboard if Elton sent him one. He can't play an instrument. All he can really do is throw out a bunch of pathetic bitchy one liners.

There's nothing wrong with doing a dance album, but G's so called dance album is not a new album. It's just a bunch of mostly old tracks that have been either previously released or floating around the Internet for years.

Not from BG, obviously. Music player or keyboard, whatever. Let's not make a science out of BG. I can understand you are happy to interview him, but he is a DJ nowadays, I wonder how many people would visit a concert of him? 200??
