Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou ("George Michael") (Greek Cypriot-British singer), one of my very favorites upon Earth, singing today's song "Praying for Time."

For some odd reason I only discovered this rather ominous song recently, and was mighty impressed by its' timely message. Altho it was released all the way back in 1990, I find that it could not be more relevant to today's world, in which unchecked capitalism is throttling millions of people (or billions, really) around the world, while the rich and the oligarchs only get richer and more immune to consequences.
George Michael was a king. If you didn't see it, check out that post where he had a better take on Joy Division than Morrisey.
Haha, I did catch that interview sometime back. Fun reading the comments in the link, though!
I also noticed that I forgot to comment on why I shared this here, which I've now corrected, above. It might also be worth adding that George may have been the most charitable musician in modern history, but it's impossible to tell for sure, because most of his donations were evidently anonymous. Such an A+ human being...
George Michael was really intelligent and his lyrics were so full of thought and open to self-criticism and having the freedom to change your mind. They were also inclusive and Freedom 90 celebrates questioning yourself and being open to outside perception and letting the world in so that you can reinvent yourself.
Damn, I missed what you said a couple days ago. Sorry about that.
My gods... yeap!
