In another life I’m a man and george michael and I are lovers

chrislepkowski.bsky.social•74 days ago

And royalties from Careless Whisper to AR

sirprefix.bsky.social•74 days ago

AR ?

chrislepkowski.bsky.social•74 days ago

Andrew Ridgeley, the other half of Wham!

gia-dea.bsky.social•74 days ago

Andrew Ridgely who was in Wham with him. They split up but George was very generous with him.

chadshaft.bsky.social•74 days ago

I read an interview with Andrew where he said he knew George was the star and when it time to split he understood and was fully behind it. It’s super cool to know how they supported each other in a business where that’s rare.

chrislepkowski.bsky.social•74 days ago

The warmth between them was not only refreshing but is now quite poignant. Two mates who stayed mates despite incredible levels of success.

chadshaft.bsky.social•74 days ago

Look at me talking about things like that are “rare” in the business.

What the fuck do I know, I’m some dude from New Jersey?

You're informed because you took the time to read something.. many wouldn't bother!

Last Christmas I gave you my heart. The very next day you gave it away. Damn bitch.

Once more in English...

He donated the royalties from Last Christmas to the same charity that Band Aid set up to help stop the Ethiopian famine

pablozi.bsky.social•74 days ago

Very cool. Expectantly since Last Christmas isnt a patronizing grandstanding cringefest.

lisiate.bsky.social•74 days ago

Thank you.

gtmoore00.bsky.social•74 days ago

You're welcome!

cooleenofcourse.bsky.social•74 days ago

Right? I had to read it 5 times and still wasn’t sure I understood. But I love George

muttley76.bsky.social•74 days ago

He was a very generous man.

merseytart.bsky.social•74 days ago

The world was so much better with George in it.

archvillain.bsky.social•74 days ago

Such a good singer that his songwriting skills are often overlooked.

ytsrik.bsky.social•74 days ago

It was a wonderful watch and I cried through a lot of it. Such a lovely man who was deeply loved by those who knew him.

thereddestrose.bsky.social•74 days ago

I miss him. One of my all time favorites.

juleshi10.bsky.social•74 days ago

That was a fabulous tv show. #LastChristmas

He was so talented, his arrangements were perfect. Not the same sort of act, but Shane McGowen was the same regarding perfecting arrangements. 2 Christmas songs that our great, great grandchildren will enjoy in the future.
