George Michael

[brian]

Yep. 2016 takes one more trophy.

[rass]

I love Faith. There.

[Johnnie]

Well, last Christmas he gave you his heart, so...

[brian]

One of the only Christmas songs I like.

Man, that sucks. He was legitimately talented. Pneumonia, reported. A common side-effect of HIV infection, FWIW.

I think that was a fairy well known non public fact. I could be wrong.

[govmentchedda]

Wham Freedom > Freedom '90 thank you drive thru goodnight

Agreed

[govmentchedda]

I vividly remember walking to the record store, back when it was mainly cassettes, and picking up Music from the Edge of Heaven.

[rass]

Wham Freedom > Freedom '90 thank you drive thru goodnight

Agreed

Any reason to be so judgementally dismissive this evening?

[DaveInSeattle]

I un-ironically dig this song...



Guy was very talented...and had fantastic hair..

[Jerloma]

I think this is my favorite GM song. Also, yeah...great fucking hair.

[Giff]

I discovered masturbation the year I Want Your Sex came out and abused my dong during every showing of that video. In case one was wondering why I was emotional.

[rass]

Set your monkey free.

[Shirley]

Are we going to do this for every moderately successful pop star? ("we" being society at large, not just the Swamp)

[rass]

Is there a "this" this time that is unexpected or unprecedented?


I guess to someone else's point, I hadn't listened to Faith as a whole for years. I did a couple of times this week, and that's a pretty great pop album.

[mister d]

Most years George Michael would be the biggest non-old age musical death.

[Shirley]

Maybe it's just the ease of Facebook, Twitter, etc., but it seems to me that we go overboard "mourning" the deaths of every moderately famous celebrity. Perhaps it was just my circle, but I'm guessing most Swampers actively mocked Michael and Wham! when they were popular in the 80s.

That said, maybe I'm just being a curmudgeon. Mourn on!

I remember when this debuted. I was 9. I turned to my dad and said "I want Tyra." He approved. However, looking back, the correct answer was Nadia.

6 of the 9 songs on Faith charted in the top 5. Has to be one of the best %s ever, right?

In April of 1964, The Beatles had five of their songs in positions one through five on the Billboard chart. And 7 additional songs also in the top 100.

That's a good joke, Rass.

Really enjoyed the Netflix Wham doc. Did not know about their rap background
