'Adversity can be good for you' - This is London Excerpt:

He says he has always been drawn to things that are quite homophobic, like reggae and ragga music. "What is that Morrissey song? The more you ignore me, the closer I get ... that sums me up. I am antagonistic. If I hear a ragga song about burning and shooting gay people, I will stand up and say something."

Georgie boy is best shutting it.
We don't want his career to slide sideways now do we?

He's changed his tune hasn't he (Score:2, Informative)
Didn't he have a pop at Moz in an interview once (haven't they all)? Something about him being just another closet queen? Now he's identifying with one of his songs ... karma chameleon indeed.

But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory.

does he ever talk about anything else? (Score:1, Informative)
"Being gay" is not meant to be 100% of your life.

I wish Boy George had a little depth. You'd think his cocaine charges would be keeping his mind busy and off-topic for the time being!

Boy George is always talking about other singers, but he don't make nothing good and new. I hate people that do it. He is always talking about homossexualism, but and his music, his job? Show somethig about you, Boy George, forget the others.

      In the eighties, I always found the "Karma Cameleon" (sorry if I'm mispelling that) clip an unexciting representation of "feminity" in a man. I never was head over heals over his flamboyant style - it seemed more of a marionette version of a gay person than an actual, living one. Sorry for my big mouth. However, I do think it is interesting for anyone who knew Boy George in the eighties to say something about him, whether it is acerbic or sweet. I used to like "Mistake Number Three". I am being, I know a bit discriminative here, but, I prefer Morrissey's style, less boisterous, more casual and introspective. The way I (helplessly) feel, when I compare the two (even though I know I shouldn't compare), and the way they dress up, is that Moz's sexuality expresses itself while Boy George's vainly tries to impress. I'm saying that because I recall reading once a declaration of Boy George that Morrissey was a closet Queen. Well, at least this closet has fine clothes and not venitian costumes in it! Boy George made interesting comments on this article, though. I just wished his songs and his style were so, too.

        The George Moz meal? (Score:0)
        Did anyone ever hear that thing about about once Boy George went for a meal or sumthin with Moz like in the 80s and Moz didnt speak a word to Boy George? I think I read it in an interview in Q or sumthing.
