Dear god Morrisey is insufferable. George, on the other hand, is a sweetheart <3

I was never a huge George Michael fan, but I remember reading how one recording session everybody left except for one engineer, so George had him show how to use the equipment so George could make a song from start to finish by himself. That song ended up being "Everything She Wants", and he used the same approach for "Last Christmas". After that he didn't need to be in Wham, he was pretty much his own artist. I really respect that, it's the same kind of thing that Prince and Trent Reznor did.

I wasn't a big fan of WAM or George Michael generally, but I do have mad respect for the man. He wasn't just talented but also introspective, intelligent, genuine, and much deeper than his pop star sheen gave away.

He's beyond arrogant and pushed it all the way to beyond stupid.
Racist, pro-brexit, anti-vaxx... you name it, this wanker living in LA has all the british trappings of hashtag-maga.

Absolutely. So disconnected from his roots and the things that made him popular that he was looking to sell off the rights to his catalog as well. Because for all his blathering about Ian Curtis and his singing/lyrics lacking emotion and not being genuine. All because Morrissey was projecting.

You aren't kidding. I think Morrissey would be happier dead, which is all the more sad that he's still alive and George Michael isn't.

I Would be Happier Dead sounds like a Morrissey song

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago

Don't it though

Morrisey has a punchable face.
