12. Hey idgiehkt what's with DU ????? ...................

Where's the solidarity? I get 11 hits 3 from
you 2 from me.

Plus a truly vile fag hating link to Carlos Mencia,
Ford Fairlaine's dumber more bigoted brother !!!

Plus I have to kick the thread myself.

Thanks for your support though at least your
heart's in the right place.

20. I was worried about that Mencia link

I couldn't get it to work, and now I am glad.

I loves me some George O'Dowd. I can't even believe that he even was what he was, you know? Where did he get the courage to do that in the Thatcher/Reagan era. Talk about strength of character...wow. My favorite piece of Boy George video of all time is at the end of Church of the Poison Mind when he smiles and winks at the camera. Even today I can't help but smile a great big smile back like a goofy kid...and blush a little. I just find him stunning.

5. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for him.

:sigh: I loved him once. He was so cool.

I also loved the public fight with Rosie, I confess. Not too many will stand up to her, and boy did he. :hi:

[kwolf68]

6. Nothing against Boy George...

Just didn't like his music. Hope he gets it together as he is quite an interesting interview.

[SKKY]

8. Go to the following link, and watch the video entitled Boy George...

...I think Carlos Mencia sums it up about as good as anyone.

11. I can cut George some slack for being a coke addict .......

But Mencia has no excuse for not being funny

[SKKY]

15. Mencia not funny???

What the hell are you talking aboot. He's hilarious!!!

[Monk06]

19. Whatever sails your boat ALiberalSailor

[idgiehkt]

23. since I can't get the video to work

what does he say about Boy George.

I keep hearing Mencia is a freeper, and that some Mexicans dont' like him referring to them as 'beaners'...don't know what to think about Mencia. I do think his lecture at the end of his show about political correctness misses the target and is preachy.

[Monk06]

24. He basically said

If George was really so proud of being gay he
should have chosen jail instead of community
service. That way he could get all the gay sex
he wanted.

Now who wouldn't find that funny?

Ha Ha

Stop it Carlos !! You're killin me here !!

[idgiehkt]

25. grrrr

I don't think George has a problem getting "all the gay sex he wants". Too bad this stuff can still be considered funny.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. He'll always be the Fifth member of the A-team.

That's why we lost Vietnam, he wasn't there.

[maxsolomon]

10. he ah-ight

i only like one song (you know which one) and its a guilty pleasure. not a towering artistic genius for sure.

he's never hurt me or anyone i know, so anyone who doens't actively bags on him can fuck themselves.

[mvd]

13. I did like his music

Still do. It's good 80s pop - almost as good as Cyndi Lauper and Madonna. Sorry to hear people aren't letting him be.

[Monk06]

17. Well mvd, I'm just a little pissed and I'm going to keep kicking this

this thread to support George against the vicious
crap being spewed at him on FR.

He was probably the most influential pop artist
in the eighties. If a person doesn't like pop
fine. But if George hadn't come along eighties
music and fashion would have been a dark empty
whole.

[mvd]

26. Good for you

And he was certainly influential for new wave, and probably influenced Cyndi Lauper - while Madonna was quite influential for dance music. I hope I still have that CD of Colour By Numbers. Great CD. :hi:

[mvd]

28. BTW

Not liking pop is fine. I just hate it when people look down at you for liking it. I'm not proud to like some pop, just like I'm not proud to like some indie - it's my open-mindedness I wear proudly. And I'm glad I like various styles.

14. Boy George was one of my main fashion inspirations

in the 80's. I loved him.

[SacredCow]

16. I appreciate Culture Club now more than I did in the 80's

He really did have a very soulful voice....

[southpaw]

18. You Go, Boy!

[idgiehkt]

[Twillig]

22. I like his work

on The Shield...
