Boy George is a bitch. An honest, bitter bitch. A bloody funny one as well. Like with Robbie Williams, I hated him for years. I didn't get him either, but since it seemed he was here to stay, I decided to take a little time and read his book. I could be wrong about him, right?
And I was.
After reading the well over 500 pages I was totally blown away. I understood the reasons for the anger and bitterness, and started looking at him in a whole new way. He's one of those people that are miraculously more sarcastic than myself, and I love it. His sense of humour is priceless. How he can say something in one sentence and get the point across - compared to certain other individuals who has to talk for half an hour to make the same point. He's edgy.
I can't say his voice is great. It's rather thin and charmless, but some of his songs are still good (preferably done by someone else though *cough*). I absolutely love his Radio One tribute. "Someone get me a gun - screw you, Radio One!" All because they didn't want to play his new song on the radio. Oh, well, at least something funny came out of it!
Boy George writes a weekly column where he's bitching around repeatedly with George Michael, Elton John, Geri Halliwell and those he's encountered who doesn't say and mean the same as he does. Though he sometimes just doesn't get it, it's still fun to read his venting. Like when Elton duetted with Eminem. Boy George hates Eminem. With passion. Because he portrays himself as a gay-hater. Seriously, Boy George - of all people - should have got it by now.
"It's hard to get emotionally attached when you're a man and gay - and you always think the d*** is bigger on the other side..."
