Yeah! That would be a nice change of direction.

I think I may have talked on here before about how one of my top 10 most hated songs is WHAM!'s “Last Christmas”, because it kicked off the whole trend of lazy, bullshit “holiday” songs which are just standard love songs with some mention of Christmas tacked on (so as to sucker everyone into throwaway songs being somehow more “meaningful”).

So, owing to that alone, George Michael should probably be denied entrance to Valhalla.

On the other hand, I have fond memories of shopping for clothes at a LE TIGRE outlet store and having “I Want Your Sex” playing over the P.A. It was very amusing watching a couple of righteous families get their knickers in a twist over the ‘offensive’ and ‘trashy’ ditty.

I was also besotted with a nice lady who cut my hair around the time “Faith” was blowing up; and styled it into a perfectly Michael-esque 'do. Being as I was 10, I couldn’t get the three-day stubble going, but she did a pretty good job otherwise - threw in a rat-tail at no extra charge
