He's in the news columns again. I've never understood why anyone over the age of fifteen takes him seriously... Joyous stuff from Dave Hill:
During my former life as a pop critic I interviewed George Michael twice: first when he was a beginner with Wham, then when he was a big time solo act who claimed to prefer girls. On both occasions I was struck by his impregnable self-confidence. This seems undiminished, sustaining him through a series of events which better balanced people might have reacted to with just a hint of a blush. Stars are supposed to be full of insecurities. Not George. He seems to believe he is incapable of error. Maybe that's why he's never made a record worth hearing.
BTW, Hill has also put together a blog round-up à la Tim Worstall, but with a tilt to the Left, naturally. James Higham's latest "blogfocus" is also up and running.
