Politics
Besides his various musical ambitions Boy George seems
to be very much engaged in being a gay activist when
organizing protests against bizarre African leaders
or when demanding more gay friendly politics from gay
politicians.
In conjunction with the Malawi scam where the country
leader had decided to throw gay lovers in jail he had
not hesitated to even ask fellow singer Madonna for
support and the way Boy George does get worked up about
such incidents shows, how important gay issues are for
him.
Remarkable are also his vivid resentments against authorities
what adds a bit of a rebel touch to Boy George who mentions
the Ziggy Stardust album as the perhaps most influential
one for his career and development.
Images
Some media hasn't been friendly with Boy George when
emphasizing some drug and police issues. But when seeing
his musical and artistic work and listening to his interview,
it becomes very much apparent, that Boy George has grown
to an important part of modern British Culture which
truly deserves some sort of respect regardless how gay
or how much meaningless pop is involved.
All over the world millions of girls had been imitating
the Boy George dress code and even 30 years later his
"Do you really want to hurt me" is played
on radios even in Thailand.
And probably forever.
