As a gay man...


 As a gay man... (why does that still sound odd to me) anyway as a gay man I feel it's my duty to post a video of a song that I can't get enough of lately. It's a video by Boy George, to be honest I was not a fan back in the day, I wasn't into his music but I thought he was clever and funny. As a closeted gay kid it was important to me however that he succeed. I remember feeling really sad when I heard he became a drug addict and seemed to be washed up. I was not aware that he had made an off radio comeback until Sixpence posted about him. I love this song, BG looks good here (great actually), most of all I like his voice now, very sexy, grrrr! Thanks to Sixpence I can add another video to my must see/listen to collection. I must support my homies... (or is that homo homies) ummm, maybe I better say LGBTQ members, yeah sounds better. Any way this is King of Everything by Boy George.

Oooh, his voice grew up! Nice. I only liked two of his songs back in the day. Church of the Poison Mind, and The Crying Game. He sounds better now, and I don't have the urge to bathe him.

I've always liked The Boy.

And he has told one of my all-time favorite jokes/stories, and it goes like this:
Once he was doing a commercial in Japan and when they gave him the wardrobe, he hated the pants, saying they reminded him of a cheap hotel,.

No ball room.

Still gives me a giggle.

Not really a fan, sorry. Rock & Roll here.

Love, love, love the Boy. Glad you checked him out! Woot woot.
And this song is fantastic! He’s done some more albums afterwards, solo and with Culture Club.
His voice is a little broken and I love the sound of it.

Thanks for posting this song of his. I haven't heard his most recent work. I like the sound of his voice.

Deedles, I think in the late 80s he started taking a shower. Hahaha!

Bob, lol yes I herd that one. He always gave good interviews.

Dave, you're going to lose your gay card for sure! Plus the toaster oven too!

Sixpence, yes I checked out some others but I really like this one. I heard it in my head often, I think it's beautiful.

Michael, I like the sound of his voice now, like a fine wine as he has aged.

Boy George always had a great set of Pipes on him and as a Straight Female I only Wished I could apply my Make-Up as expertly!

Bohemian, lol I bet he has a team of people doing that!
