George Michael - RIP

[passedpawn]

Can't say I was a giant fan, but he's gone.

OK, the truth is I'm not a fan now. At one time, I was a Wham fan. I have an embarrassing pic I'm gonna post here when I have more time. Cooking now. And my wife and I played his first solo album a bunch, can't remember the name of that. Oh man, that was a long time ago.

My wife told me. She was a fan. I wasn't. But ....RIP

1985. I'm wearing a Wham shirt (and braces). That gal next on the left of me was a pretty sweet treat. She's in the kitchen at this moment finishing a late dinner here at casa passedpawn.

That's my grandparents house in Michigan BTW.

Damn, Wham, Ouch.......RIP. Careless Whispers was a good song.

I had to ask "George Michael or George Michael Bluth?" Either way, 50 something is too young.

Not much of a fan, but I somewhat liked this song:

'Praying for Time' was one of his best songs IMO. Very relevant then and now. Sad to hear of his passing.

George is dead?? Wham that really hits hard

He had a great voice. I can't say I knew anything other than his hits, but Careless Whisper is a great sing-a-long tune. I always play it when I listen to the Deadpool soundtrack.

Uncanny resemblance to the guy in your avatar. And all this time I thought it was Ward Cleaver, except we all know Ward was never seen having a beer. A pipe maybe.

The Times obit lists his birth name as Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.

Here's one of my absolute favorites from Faith.
