Poor George Michael. Maybe he didn't have much of a career left in 1998, but if he did it was flat out destroyed by the bathroom incident. So he disappears for years upon years, resurfacing only on a rare and unpublicized occasion to release charity singles. Then, today, he pops up on MSNBC for possession of Class C drugs. Class C drugs include various pills and weed, which, in the UK, means an unlimited fine and/or up to two years in jail, according to the story. Hey, isn't getting caught with weed in California cheaper than a parking ticket?
To offer my own support for Mr. Panayiotou, I will be listening to Wham! as I steadfastly attend to matters of a master's thesis. Specifically, I shall listen to Make It Big and Music from the Edge of Heaven, paying close attention to the following songs:
"Everything She Wants"
"Freedom"
"Careless Whisper"
"I'm Your Man"
"Wham! Rap 86"
"Last Christmas"
