RIP George Michael

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Goodbye George Michael

Pah, not that I had ever liked any of his music, but his public standing against Sony was definitely remarkable ...

There must have been a very large scythe swinging this year ... :( ... 53, that is no age at all ... :( ...

May he rest in peace, and peace as well to his friends and family ... :( ...

Never really rated him and he and his pal totally ruined a holiday I had in Ibiza in 1985 but , and there is always a but, a friend posted this on facebook, I dont agree with all of it but there was another side of the man worth recognising.

"Aye he was a decent human being . Sad to see this young man pass. I admired him, fancied him, danced round my handbag to his music. He hated Thatcher; he supported miners strikes, he opposed invasion of Iraq. He was open about mental health illness and was openly gay when it was tough to be that free. RIP son x"

He was also a bit of an outlaw IIRC

Been reading about things he did, like working at a homeless centre, giving money to people, keeping one charity going and doing a gig for nurses where his mother was treated.

My point was poorly made.

RIP George Michael, one of the GOOD GUY'S
