What with our recent illusions of cable TV—a.k.a. The Olympics, covered nightly from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the duration— and Boy George back in town, things are picking up. Recently returned from Jamaica where he was born again as a blond, George turned up on Ear Say, Channel 4’s pop magazine program, as a Special CoPresenter. Clad in a black Siouxsie Sioux wig and definitely not averse to parodying himself, BG reported disarming potential slanderers encountered on his holiday by “suddenly bursting into Jamaican folk songs...they really respect musicians.”
He also tattled on rude ole Keith R: “Yeah! I went over to his house while I was there and he was calling me a bag lady every time I turned my back. Just making schoolboy limp-wrist jokes while I wasn’t looking.” George paused. “I mean, what a MAN he is, right?”
