Remember seeing Wham in concert at the Brighton Centre, nearly deafened by all the girlie screams after GM & AR had shoved shuttlecocks down their shorts and flung into crowds.
Amazing stuff

One of the first live music concerts I ever went to.
Gotta start somewhere, experience the atmosphere, whoever the act.
Even when I saw 4 Non Blondes in Dusseldorf, there was a lot of leather cladded German ladies the the front of stage, no room for manoeuvre!

At the time I was not a Wham fan at all, however I have recently added their greatest hits to my iPod and Club Tropicana video is one of my all time favourites. That is a proper summer song up their with most of what the Beach Boys did as Summer feel good music and the filming in Ibiza makes it perfect IMO.
The 6 minute remixed version of Last Christmas is my grand kids favourite Christmas song too.
It's great how an idea can go from funny to shitehouse in one move.
Hopefully the poster currently known Your Mum will, next Christmas, ask for an original thought.

Did he have HIV ? If you know nothing of this then keep wise your counsel. It's not a joke.

I liked some of his music, especially the later Wham tunes and then around Faith although wasn't too keen on much of his music thereafter and a very low point was that abysmal cover of New Order's True Faith but what's been a really pleasant surprise today has been lots of anecdotes about his generosity and that despite his problems he seemed to be an all-round nice guy.
His music is clearly a huge legacy but the greatest must be being remembered as a lovely bloke. Fair play to him.

Many fond memories of Wham hits while I was growing up but I don't believe in automatic reverence or appreciation for latest dead x celeb.
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"
I said, I - don't - need - you
So you don't approve,
Well who asked you to?
Hey - jerk - you - work
This boy's got better things to do.
I've only done a couple of years work since being motivated by this. Hey ****, you work, I've got better things to do. Thanks George.

I'm glad this particular celeb had a significant influence on your life. My point was a sort of enforced/automatic reverence.
Are people being forced to revere him? Seems to me people are simply acknowledging his rather exceptional career and legacy at a rather appropriate time.
Quite. No my very favouritist cup of tea, poptastically, but a talent nevertheless and, as noted above, there are many anecdotes appearing about his anonymous generosity. RIP.
Fair enough. Early 80's inner London for a Hove student teenager was almost free housing, DHSS as George sang, tax free work, student grant, partying and a WEMBLEY cup final.

Fair point HT. It was more the previous condemnation of those with a different opinion. The thread title was reporting the sad news. If it had been a commemoration/appreciation thread then yes I would see how the comments were deemed insensitive.
