When we think of George Michael, we remember our local radio station editing “I Want Your Sex” so as not to offend our delicate young ears, so we hear “I want your” in George’s voice and then “lovvvve” in the cigarette-husked voice of an overweight Midwestern DJ. But what we should be thinking about when George Michael comes to mind? Piles of weed and glory holes. He gave a very interesting (and very long) interview to The Guardian (via Celebitchy) that included these nuggets:
The pills: What are the pills for? “Mind your own business. No, some of them are vitamin, some are anti-smoking and some are for my back.” In the bad old days, he reckons he was smoking around 25 spliffs a day, and was worried he’d do permanent damage to his voice. “I probably do about seven or eight a day now.”
On cruising: “The handful of times a year it’s bloody warm enough, I’ll do [go cruising]. I’ll do it on a nice summer even–ing. Quite often there are campfires up there. It’s a much nicer place to get some quick and honest sex than standing in a bar, E’d off your t-ts shouting at somebody and hoping they want the same thing as you do in bed. DyaknowhatImean?”
So if you’re ever in a bar and hear someone shouting, “Who wants a Saskatoon snowman in the alley with a Grammy winner?” that’s not George Michael. It’s probably Bryan Adams.
