Scrawled on one side in ball point pen was “ Faith-George Michael.” I ejected the black Memorex 90 cassette from the player. Fumbling for the correct dial I quickly turned it off. With its perfect studio guitar strumming along to his breathy, unsubstantial voice, its weakness seemed to match the quality of the four cheap Ford speakers from whence it came.
Imagine my surprise, on a crisp fall afternoon in Baton Rouge, when I borrowed a pledge brother’s car for an afternoon and, turning the key in the ignition, was greeted with “Faith” by George Michael. I don’t think I knew anybody who listened to Wham! and frankly, I didn’t want to. Come to think of it, I don’t think I knew they broken up I thought it was just more of the same awful confectioners’ product for preteens. I didn’t give it any attention because to me it was a continuation of the bad music that preceded it. When they broke up and George Michael went solo, his first album breezed right past me. Instead of tough realism, street wisdom, and political activism, Wham! portrayed a fanciful world of upbeat neon dancing and positive messages which turned my stomach. If The Clash represented the best of British music in the ’80’s, then Wham! (notable: the second band on this blog with an exclamation point after the name) was the worst. Music was one prevalent area where these contrasts bore out. But like any group of strangers, we managed to surprise each other with our differences. Admittedly, we all pretty much looked the same. Typical southern preppie guys from Shreveport, arrogant city kids from New Orleans, and small-town rich boys from fiefdoms dotted around Louisiana and Mississippi made up the majority of my class. There were cultural nuances that immediately bore themselves out during the first few months of our time together. One might assume that because the guys I pledged with and I were all southern white boys we were all basically the same however that wasn’t the case. Awesome.In the ’80’s and far before, if you went to a big college in the south, the most assured way to have the most possible fun was to join a fraternity. Papa Burgundy from Bridlington, Englandthis song is absolutely brilliant, george althought being a backdoor enterer, can really write a good song, also has some small reference to china concerning their politics.Katie from Melbourne, AustraliaThis song is very awesome, i also like the cover version Robbie Williams did :).for the supermodels, music videos were "in" so models such as Naomi Campell apperaed in the video with a host of others too
