George Michael

[Josef Svejk]

I just sang that as the opening line of Another Girl Another Planet.

 

Try Nick Cave's "Into My Arms"...

This is the general forum, is it not? Any kind of discussion of anything goes, does it not?

 

Sure, but there are limits to how willing I am to bore everyone.

[Arl arse]

There are?

 

Thank fuck for that.

Fucking how on earth does a George Michael thread get so much attention; are you guys on acid.

 

It's what George would have wanted.

[Kloppite]

It's what George would have wanted.

If taking acid is what he wanted then maybe he ain't so great.

[Tony Moanero]

This thread has to stop.

 

It's George Michael ffs not Shankley.

Shankly.

Acid is natural - acid is good

Not everybody does it

But everybody should

The ginger bird in 'Let's go Outside' is fitter than anyone except Tony's ma.

 

I love self important people. It's hilarious

Where did I say I didn't care? I do care about the culture industry, which is why I commented in the first place.

 

Happy New Year to you too, anyway. Sincerely.

Given that he seemed to be a nice(if fucked up) bloke, I listened to the songs posted on this thread to give them a chance and have come to the conclusion that his musical talent is massively over-rated, possibly similar to Elton John in that there were a few half decent tunes at the beginning and then everything else sounds the same in a not particularly good way. His lyrics are neither poetic nor profound.

 

Still, it's sad that he never seemed to enjoy his success and clearly died too young

Well that's that sorted then. Thanks.

[PestiRed]

No problem. Just wanted to tidy up the loose ends of 2016

I heard some lad took his blind uncle to a George Michael gig once. Cos of his uncles disability they we put in the front row. Part way through the gig George came to the front and was touching people's hands. The blind uncle reached out hopleslessly and felt a 'touch' from George. For the first time in his life - he could see! He was healed

I wonder if it would have cured the deafness of the anti-George Michael lot too. I guess we'll never know.

What's the difference between George Michael and a microwave?

 

The microwave would stop when you opened the door.

Ooh look at me, i'm far too hipster and cool to ever admit to liking anything mainstream, other than Keith's Horrendous Diarrhoea, you know, that new band that have only ever played one gig in a loft in Manhattan and are the BEES KNEES!

Any links?

Apart from some of the most popular acts of all time cited above, you're absolutely spot on, you've absolutely nailed the George Michael criticism.

 

Anybody who criticises a particular mainstream act must be a musical snob and fan of all things obscure. This necessarily follows.

Wham had some great pop songs - edge of heaven, everything she wants, club Tropicana, last Christmas, freedom, wake me up.

 

Always been a fan of his Older album as well. If I'm not mistaken I think he produced and played every instrument on it.

Some old woman on the bus this morning telling her friend that "he died of Aids you know". One of the most random things I've heard for a while.

[redheart]

Fattest aids victim ever then
