>George Michael was a fine pop singer. Some have treated him as a gay icon, in part because of "I Want Your Sex." Now, I have to say that this is a pretty great song that recalls the best of Prince. But you also have to watch the video, because it's very hetero, practically softcore porn. You'd have to say it's one of the most heterosexual works ever performed by a gay person.
>The man was quite closeted, yes? Until he was arrested for public sex. Now, he was also remembered by some music critics after his death as a symbol of human liberation. I suppose. However, I have a funny feeling he was loaded to the gills with addictions and compulsions. Look at his recording arc, you can see he was a good artist who couldn't make art anymore. Also dead. Maybe that was part of the human road to freedom, but I somehow doubt it.
