George Michael

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Ive read no media reports on him whatsoever so have no idea what has been said,although I can imagine it and cringe at the thought. Seemed a decent sort but agree with the Rev that if it was AIDS related it would be a good case for education to all about the dangers.

 

I thought they were lining up Richard Hammond for that?

It matters not a jot how you judge his musical output. The facts of his kindness and generosity that are emerging after his death supersede anything else. Surely everyone can get behind that?

Somebody always has to shit over a memorial thread, it's as certain as death and taxes. And no more pleasant than either.

I love Yellow Submarine.

Slightly more pleasant, no? Than death at least?

If you don't listen to the radio, read newspapers, or watch the news. It's relatively difficult to avoid, I find.

Maybe you should try avoiding this thread.

[Bjornebye]

Rod Stewart maybe????

 

To be for I'm only saying that from a purely selfish point of view as I'm going the Isle of Wight festival and he's the headliner for the Sunday.

Is he?! Kinell boss festival that by the way. I think I'm going of you fancy a bevvy and some mdma wahey

[Bjornebye]

Negged.

 

I love Careless Whispher and Last Christmas is my favourite Christmas song.

Fuck off better than fairytale of New York?

I'm enjoying a few lefties slagging off what seems like an archetypal modern socialist because of his job.

You've cracked jokes yourself in other threads about the death of someone, I don't see why you are getting all precious about it.

Has anyone anywhere actually slagged him about his philanthropy?

- that's not what I said

- there is life outside the GF

[SasaS]

I don't know about music and charity work but as a firm proponent of road safety I could never condone his somewhat erratic driving style.

I know, I've been reading the MF this morning too.

Haha.

You're right. He was a stupid cunt for driving under the influence and it shouldn't be forgotten.

[VladimirIlyich]

I never denied he was a nice guy.

 

Apparently he was always willing to lend a helping hand. Even in public toilets...

A Fulham supporter,its been said.

I didn't say that it was better, just that it's my favourite.

 

I like Fairytale of New York a lot though. Kirsty MacColl was boss.

[redheart]

Ok judging by his last photo we can rule out that he died of "the aids."

 

No-one with "the aids" is this fat

Producers of vacuous music for kids turn into producers of vacuous music for adults. The comparison is sound.

 

As for your analogy between George Michael and The Sopranos: the mind boggles.

Jokes are fine. Joyless, mean-spirited rubbishing of someone's entire career with shades of homophobia, not so much.

 

I mean, I didn't much care for Status Quo, I think their music is for simpletons, but you don't see me sniping in the Rick Parfitt thread.

[cloggypop]

Can I say George Michael made shite music in the Rick Parfitt thread then?

 

Unlike Michael Jackson he did a lot of good stuff for the miners however.

Different strokes for different folks. BTW, how do you know jokes about someone who has just passed away are fine for everybody? You are basically making up stuff/unwritten rules to suit your opinion on things. 

 

Anyway, as you were.

This is why I didn't start an Alphonse Mouzon thread.

It will be Armageddon on here when the Queen snuffs it.
