That is a gorgeous story and a divinely beautiful memory of a moment, and your love for GM. Thank.you.

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…

It’s like I’ve lost a family member. I went through some real tough times as a kid and I went to bed every night listening to the Faith album. In no small part, he kept me intact and allowed me to access joy and desire and heartbreak. I feel your hurt. I indeestand it in my bones. Hugs, all of them.

Fuck you! Elton John is fine.

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…

And it’s hard to love, there’s so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it’s much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time

All that means is that her condition hasn’t changed. It’s stable—the same. It doesn’t mean she’s getting better. (I know how negative that sounds, but I’m a realist.)

So people die! So don’t ever ever be sad about death! because people die! Fuck that.

In the late 80s, a friend and I wrote up all the lyrics to the Faith album on yellow legal pads, and memorised them. We articulated transgression, rebellion, before we even knew what it meant. Love and gratitude to you George Michael.

I knew before the year was out there would be one that really got to me. I listened to Listen Without Prejudice every single night when I was 13/14. RIP George.

Oh good the old bait and switch.

Seriously. The kkk and the Aryan Nation both have websites. All you have to do is look at them and you’ll know what’s “behind the sheet.”

You are so fucking privileged and clueless it is kinda of sad. Take it from a queer Jewish woman. WE DO NOT NEED MORE AIRTIME FOR THESE PUKES!!! The only way to deal with hate and bigotry is to name and shame the participants and NEVER give them a platform to spew hate. To a privileged fuckwit like yourself, who…

My brain shuts down to protect itself everytime I see one of those flags, up here. Michigan sent something like 90,000 men to fight the rebels during the war (that was nearly a quarter of the entire male population of the state at the time) and almost 15,000 perished. The only statue on the capitol lawn is of our…

Well I wasn’t treating my mother’s comment as fact or an official statement, but a well-founded opinion.

Congratulations on finding your own coping mechanism for the loss of a loved one. Maybe try working on tact and empathy next?

Death is normal. But people still get to grieve. Metaphorically slapping people’s hands when they express the normal human emotions surrounding loss Is.Not.Helpful.

You are correct, this is definitely not the time. Yet you persevered.

Uh...wat
