December 05, 2008 Earworm



It looks as though Boy George is going to have to serve some jail time thanks to his alleged imprisonment of a male escort and I can't imagine how he can survive that sort of scenario. If he does, let's hope that he has learned that inviting hustler's up to view his "art photos" is as dangerous as it is cliched.

The delirious disco flash of "Mystery Boy", a b-side much played on jukeboxes all over Baltimore back in the Club's banner year of '83, seems almost too perfect. But, it is was it is and it is the weekend so we might as well start lacing up our dancing shoes.

March 04, 2008 Earworm



Speaking of lumpy old broads, I woke up with that Duane Eddy in red sauce guitar riff of Boy George's take on "The Crying Game" this morning. Then I wondered why George went with a Roz Russell circa "Auntie Mame" wig for the video. Then I remembered the reaction "the big reveal" got from the elderly woman seated behind me at the movie theater - "Oh, dear..." And then I remembered being in Turtles Record Store to buy the soundtrack when a dude with a gun came in to rob the place - my reaction was pretty much the same as the elderly woman's.

Is it any wonder that I love this song?
