I’m like you. But I believe Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 is the masterpiece. Especially lingering over They Won’t Go When I Go right now.

Your post legit gave me a lump in my throat. ♡♡♡

My brothers and I played “you have been loved” off of Older at my moms funeral back in 97, I started bawling when I heard earlier at his passing. So fucking sad ☹️

I had terrible times as a kid as well, and used to listen to Joe Jackson every night. I needed to.  I totally get what you’re saying.

I know... and Wham!’s Make It Big, that’s the album that they really earned the exclamation mark.

Wade Wilson, is that you?

When I was a little kid, I really wanted my older sister to marry George Michael. Don’t know why. I certainly like GM more than the guy my sister married...

I agree. I’m the same age as you and this is the first artist I loved as a child versus as an older teen/adult to pass. I got “Faith” for Easter and listened to it night and day, told my older cool neighbour that it was fine she could play “I Want Your Sex” I was old enough to listen to it. Hah.

You too. It’s always a pleasure to talk to his fans, always the brightest and most charming of people, I’ve noticed, *pops collar*.

My first CD was Wham. I’ve seen George live three times; twice in concert, and once in person. BFF and I had heard where he and his partner Kenny went to eat in TX and we decided to swing on in. “Wouldn’t it be cool if...?” Anyway, we went full cringe/facepalm crazy fan and had silkscreen shirts made with his…

I loved GM so much. I broke down telling my husband this news. GM and I share a birthday though he is a little older. He was one of those singers I always wanted to see live but never did. This one got me, like Alan Rickman. Such a talent. Such a gift he shared with us.

70 is pretty old, especially for a guy who at least dabbled in ALL the drugs.

This is the most heartbreaking of all. I saw George in concert twice, the first time in 1987 in Honolulu when I was ten years old. The Faith album still stands as one of the greatest pop albums ever made. I know every song, every word. I saw him again in 2008, just about twenty years later, in DC. I cannot express how…

I took those pictures two years ago. I have lived in Dubai going on 8 years. I am a drunken degenerate liar.

Before I fully read your post and only saw the pics I thought to myself “Well the dolphins are leaving. We are truly fucked.”

Our existence borders on the irrational, as do circus peanuts, flying cockroaches, Shia LaBeouf, Crash( the fucking shitty one) winning the Oscar for Best Picture, the continued existence of the imminently combustible appendix, modern logic, reason, the ice capades, Jay Leno, and any chance of me remaining sober. this…

I feel like a full blown conspiracy theorist at this point because I don’t believe anyone anymore. :(

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe he’s cosplaying Penn Jillette.
