Karma is the definitive 3rd autobiography from music icon, Boy George - the fabulous Grammy, Brit and Ivor Novello award-winning lead singer of Culture Club.
Told in his inimitable style, Karma will reflect on Boy George's life as a kid growing up in sixties London, through the hedonism of the seventies and the glam rock and punk rock revolution that birthed Culture Club, and the heydays of the nineties meeting musical legends like David Bowie, Madonna and Prince - as well as addressing all those rumours. The book will reveal the highs and lows of love, loss, addiction, recovery, prison, and celebrity on Boy George's journey through fame to finally embracing the man and artist that he is today: 'I went to a lot of trouble to create Boy George and then I went through a whole battle for years about not wanting to be him. But now I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn't able to as a young person.... I'm learning to be George Alan O'Dowd from Eltham who it turns out is quite an interesting person.'
With all the humour, honesty, sarcasm (and hats!) that you'd expect, Karma gives us a unique insight into Boy George's incredible story and the true evolution of a music icon.
'Culture Club is always going to be one of those lovers I go back to. I've railed against it and that Boy George character I created. For years I convinced myself I was a creature of habit, unchangeable, immovable. But eventually you have to look in the mirror. Not looking for spots, looking for something deeper. Why the hell am I here? I would say life is the point of life.'

Melodrama (Lyrics)
I'm waiting for you to read my mind
You could be waiting here for a long time
Are you listening or just shimmering?
You're so beautiful but you can't say that no more
Melodrama
Why can't you stop thinking about yourself?
Melodrama
Why can't you stop talking about yourself?
Melodrama
Melodrama
D-R-A-M-A
Can I depend on you when the lights go down?
When there's no applause, only revolving doors
Are you listening (I'm not listening) or just shimmering (Or just shimmering)
You're so beautiful but you can't say that no more
Melodrama
Why can't you stop thinking about yourself?
Melodrama
Why can't you stop talking about yourself?
Melodrama
(D-R-A-M-A)
Melodrama
Give me the drama
Melodrama
(D-R-A-M-A)
I'll take the karma
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Melodrama
Melodrama
Why can't you stop talking about yourself?
Melodrama
(D-R-A-M-A)
Melodrama
Melodrama
(D-R-A-M-A)
You're so beautiful (Melodrama)
You're so beautiful
(D-R-A-M-A)
You're so beautiful
Stop stop stop stop stop stop

The Next Thing Will Be Amazing
Written by Culture Club & Benny D at Power Studio London
The next thing will be amazing
Feels like the whole world is waiting
For something worth celebrating
The next thing will be amazing
(Repeat 3 x)
I started this song
In a raincloud of my own years
I was the serpent
You were the saint
Drawing on the past but the outline was faint
He had no faith all over his face
Fixing your nails then scratching the paint
We nailed the funk to the floor
The next thing will be amazing
Feels like the whole world is waiting
For something worth celebrating
The next thing will be amazing
I'm starting to see
That this was just a mystery
I was the saint
You the gatekeeper
You got so dark
But the music got sweeter
Look at the faith all over my face
Fixing your nails the scratching the paint
We nailed the funk to the floor
The next thing will be amazing
Feels like the whole world is waiting
For something worth celebrating
The next thing will be amazing
(Repeat 3x)

Blue Jeans Lyrics
This is a love letter
To your life
This is a love letter
To your personal style
They go with your eyes
The summer skies
When winter dies
You come alive
Put on your blue jeans baby
Put on your blue jeans
Put on your blue jeans baby
Put on your blue jeans
Then take them off!
This is a love letter
To your smile
Put on your favorite song
And dance here for a while
Dance like no one's watching you
Like no one ever broke your heart
Put on your blue jeans baby
Put on your blue jeans
Put on your blue jeans baby
Put on your blue jeans
Then take them off!
So damn cute
From the root
To the top of your head
Yeah
That's what I said
Read my lips
Hanging from your hips
So vicariously
Hey Greta
Let's make the whole world better
Never be blue
Never be blue
Put on your blue jeans baby
Put on your blue jeans
Put on your blue jeans baby
Put on your blue jeans
Then take them off!

Lyrics - Written by "Ricky Wilde" & "Kim Wilde" & "Fredrik Thomander"
"Shine On"
I believed love was a temple
Where our prayers were born every day
Precious dreams, forever sacred
Now we feel them slipping away
But here we are
Found ourselves lost in the spaces
Between the moon and the sun
Now our world, fragile and naked
Cries the tears on everyone
So stay with me
Lay with me
Feel our love
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Every night a little bit longer
Every day a battle for two
Fight against the chemical demons
Who control the fire in you
So stay with me (oh, stay with me)
Lay with me (lay with me)
Feel our love
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Trust in me (I'll never let you go)
I'll never leave you (ooh, I'll be right here beside)
Together we'll
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Be the light in me
I'll be the light in you
Come back to me (come back, darling)
I never want to say goodbye
Come back to me (come back to me)
I just need to see your light shine, oh
I need to touch your face
Together we'll
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Trust in me (I'll never let you go)
I'll never leave you (ooh, I'll be right here beside)
Together we'll
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
I'll never let you
(Ooh, I'll be right here beside)

Lyrics to Swoon
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Estamos claros y ya
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Those eyes will get you in trouble
Those feet, some botdy a k es ake them dancing
Let’s eat because you’re always hungry
No take-away will ever fill you up
Driving from the city down to the beach
Empty up my head, that’s what I need
Swoon
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom
Being pretty like a silver spoon
Swoon
Those who put you down, maybe they spoke too soon
‘Cause you still swoon
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Estamos claros y ya
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Those lips put you in danger
Now you gotta be smart and work a little harder ([?])
Sex appeal, curb appeal, none of it’s real
Unless it comes from the heart
Swoon
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom
Being pretty like a silver spoon
Swoon
Those who put you down, maybe they spoke too soon
‘Cause you still swoon
Ai-ai-ai-ai-ah
Look at you
Head to toe perfection
Swoon
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Estamos claros y ya
Swoon
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Swoon
I bet your enemies spoke too soon
‘Cause you still swoon
Swoon (ai, ai-ai, ah)
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom
(Those lips [?])
Being pretty like a silver spoon
Swoon
(Could’ve been about you, a testament to your beauty
Do you want it to be better?)
Swoon
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom

Good Intentions (Lyrics)
Written by: Boy George, Luke Begley and Roland Faber
It's good to know
You did it for my own good
Where would I be without you
You're priceless
You're good, you're good, you're good
You're so good
You're good, you're good, you're good
But I'm better
Don't you come in here with your good intentions
Acting so sincere with your recollections
A voice in my head says Mary
This ain't your first time at the disco
You were blinded by the lights
At 17
You tell me I look good
But you don't mean it
My success brings you to your knees
You're so disappointed
Fixed my hair, took up running
Getting ready for the future coming
Got myself a brand new man
Jealous bitch, you catch me if you can
Don't you come in here with your good intentions
Acting so sincere with your recollections
A voice in my head says Mary
This ain't your first time at the disco
You were blinded by the lights
At 17
Oh, this ain't your first time
Oh no no, this ain't your first time
I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine
You're good, you're really good, but I'm better
I'm better
A voice in my head says Mary
This ain't your first time at the disco
You were blinded by the lights
At 17
You were blinded by the lights
At 17
You were blinded by the lights
At 17
This is 17
This is 17
This is 17

01. Mercy Now 5:52
Lyrics: Mercy Now
My father could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor
Fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over
It won't be long and he won't be around
I love my father, and he could use some mercy now
My brother could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom
He's shackled to his fears and his doubts
The pain that he lives in is
Almost more than living will allow
I love my brother, and he could use some mercy now
My Church and my Country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit
That's going to take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful
Who follow 'em down
I love my Church and Country and they could use some mercy now
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race
Towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, well
They'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now
Yea, we all could use a little mercy now
I know we don't deserve it
But we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance
Dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
01. What Would You Call Unreasonable? 3:38
Lyrics: What Would You Call Unreasonable?
A warm kiss
Better than a slight dig
The French resistance in my bed
You're lying to me now
I can see it in your eyes
Your lying eyes
Your lying bloodshot eyes
In your mind, it's a minor detail how I feel
And my heart is everything
Come on, give me everything
(Chorus)
What would you call unreasonable?
What would be problematic?
I'd give you my last dollar, baby
Even if I never had it
A cold kiss
Like I don't exist
Hope future wars will be fought on your terms
Leader of the free world
But this a symphony
Are you prepared to bleed
Let strangers know your secrets
I couldn't sleep
So you took that stuff
And you took some more
But it's not enough
(Chorus)
What would you call unreasonable?
What would be problematic?
I'd give you my last dollar, baby
What would you call unreasonable?
What would be problematic?
I'd give you my last dollar, baby
Even if I never had it
I never had it
I never had it
I never had it
I never had it
If I'm running, running, running
Is that unreasonable?
Is that unreasonable?
What's it gonna be
Love of money
(Chorus)
What would you call unreasonable?
What would be problematic?
I'd give you my last dollar, baby
What would you call unreasonable?
What would be problematic?
I'd give you my last dollar, baby
Even if I never had it
I'd give it all
I never had it
Every last time

Boy George is Hot Since 82' with "Body Control"
Boy George has collaborated with DJ Hot Since 82 on his new album "Recovery" which is out on November 27th 2020. The new song "Body Control" will be on the album featuring Boy George on the track. The song was inspired by George quotes from the 80's George makes an appearance. They met, kind of, on a flight to Heathrow a few years ago. “When George is not dressed in make-up and a hat, he’s not Boy George,” Hot Since 82 says. “And when I got off the flight he tweeted to say he’d been sat next to me.
(Photo curtesy of theworldofmarkos) ♦
So I responded and said, ‘Let’s make some music.’” Hot Since 82' aka Padley asked George to record his memories of 1982. “It’s like eight minutes of just Margaret Thatcher, mining strikes, Italy won the world cup, Haçienda, Kraftwerk. He just gave me this big blurb.” The result is “Body Control,” a fearless throwback to the thumping bass-lines and trance drops of the eighties.

Happy Pride month everyone . It now official that Boy George. The Village People. Martha Wash. Scissor Sisters. And the Pet Shop Boys. All of these artists can boast being represented by more than one song on this list of the greatest 101 LGBTQ songs and anthems of all time.
#31 "Il Adore" by Boy George [1995] Taken from the album "Cheapness & Beauty"
The New York Times headline on July 3, 1981 was alarming: "Rare Cancer Seen in 41 Homosexuals" Though it was not named yet, AIDS had reared its hideous head and would eventually ravage the gay community throughout the 1980's and 1990's. It was a scary time to be alive, to witness such horrifying loss. This song I'l Adore" deals with the devastation caused by AIDS. Boy George's "Il Adore" is heartbreaking in its tear-inducing starkness: "Laughing screaming tumbling queen/Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen/Whirling swirling never blue/How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do."
#61. "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" by Culture Club [1982] From The Album "Kissing To Be Clever"
Boy George penned "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" about his heated off again/on again relationship with Kirk Brandon many listeners have thought this song was about Culture Club drummer, Jon Moss; but it wasn't. At first George didn't want the single to be released which lead the single (an eventual #2 blockbuster in the US and No.1 in the UK) because it stung too deeply and too painfully every time he heard it.
*Bonus* Boy Georges "Same Thing In Reverse" [1995] Taken from the album Cheapness and Beauty.

Isolation by Boy George
Can I thank you
For your good advice
It went in one ear
And out the other
When I scream at you
You switch off inside
I feel the same
So tell me why I do it
I met a man
Who owns satellites
And it got me thinking about isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Thinking about isolation
Can I touch you
In the deeper sense
There are no rewards
For simple humanity
If I bite you back
What do I get
The space inside
The emptiness
I met a man
Who owns satellites
And it got me thinking about isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Thinking about isolation
You don't know
How it feels
To be here without you
You don't know
How it feels
To be alone
I met a man
Who owns satellites
And it got me thinking about isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Thinking about isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Thinking about isolation

1. Clouds 4:07
"Let me start with a question. Must everything be explained? I am trying, as an artist, to allow the listener to discern for themselves the sub text or subterfuge! Or the social, or emotional context.
I recently got a message from someone I worked with and was pretty close to. The tone of the message was attack. A one sided attack with zero consequence to anyone else but me.
If he had tried to find a middle way, we could have had hope but I was left thinking 'It’s his grey cloud to carry around. Not mine.'
Hence this song about clouds. Which, like humans, drift in and out of your life.
Sometimes there is no response but that of a song. A song can say what you cannot clearly speak. It can say it in a simpler fashion. With a sweet, mournful melody."
- Boy George Clouds
►March 2nd 2020 - New Boy George Music Video Clouds Is Out Now!

The new single "Clouds". It's a dark haunting track but yet very poetic track from him. The new music video was also announced today on Youtube. This is by far one of George's best masterpieces.
Clouds
The metaphors are endless
Some onomatopoeia
A bunch of oxymorons
Trying to convince us of their view
And what can be said
About what happened yesterday
There's worse going on
If you really want to know
Parting clouds
May clear the sky
And let the sunshine
Fall on us again
They're just clouds
Full of rain
Big grey clouds
Filled with pain
Hanging over you
Hanging over me
They're just clouds
It's all they'll ever be
It's all they'll ever be
Are you telling me your sorry
Or is it still me that you blame
Do you shake like Little Richard
Every time you hear my name
Playground stuff
Instead of love
The day I stole Laura
Was the day I grew to adore her
Parting clouds
May clear the sky
And let the sunshine
Fall on us again
They're just clouds
Full of rain
Big grey clouds
Filled with pain
Hanging over you
Hanging over me
They're just clouds
It's all they'll ever be
Hanging over me (Say 2 x)
They're just clouds
Clouds

►February 15th 2020- New Boy George Song premiere at Faenas Hotel Miami FL
There is a brand new song out written by George and Roy Hay along with Amanda Ghost called "The Cook, The Thief , The Wife And her Lover" is out now on George's sound cloud page. The song is featured in the new stage production at The Faenas Hotel in Miami. If you live in Florida and have a day to see it go ahead and book your tickets now. Tickets
Boy George on writing this new song .....
"I had a field day writing this song," shares music icon Boy George on his original theme song for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover open now at Faena Theater.
“It’s not on the menu, but there is a price. A dinner date with destiny, that money cannot buy.” Consider those lyrics an invitation to the hottest ticket in town where you’ll find yourself seated in the blood-thirsty dining room of Le Hollandais in a completely immersive theater experience.
Boy George was commissioned to write an original theme song for the show’s final number, which splices together a litany of pop hits. “I was delighted to be asked,” says the multi-hyphenate artist. “I remember when the film first came out. It was fun to go back and rewatch it and try to come up with a song that summed up the whole story as succinctly as possible”, he added.
The spellbindingly sadistic story line tells the tale of a dramatic love triangle narrated by the restaurant’s omniscient waiters that unfolds between a ruthless restaurant owner, his wife and her lover.
“I call the chorus the ‘Bowie Mambo’,” he laughs, referring to David Bowie (one of his chief musical influences also known for his theatrical flair) and the track’s Latin rhythm. The tune has a markedly tango beat, an intended homage to Faena’s Argentine owner, Alan Faena. “I wanted it to be as dramatic as possible to go with the setting of the show,” he added.
Throughout the performance, actors blend seamlessly with Faena Theater’s waitstaff as they wend their way through the audience, drawing guests into the gripping logomachy and mayhem that challenges them to question their deepest human instincts. The show’s sybaritic three-course menu comes from Miami culinary luminary Michelle Bernstein—a Michelin-starred James Beard winner—who puts a distinctly Floridian twist on classic French and European cuisine.
Blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, the boundary-pushing production keeps viewers on the edge of their seats until George’s song closes out the performance in a show stopping crescendo. “People will leave feeling emotionally and mentally stimulated,” he says, and without a doubt, humming the smash song’s catchy chorus for days to come.

The full breadth and range of Jamie’s 4-octave spanning vocals are showcased as thisuo are joined by a joyous gospel choir. “I am very lucky to have Boy George as a mentor. The whole process of making and recording the song and music video with such an icon has been very surreal” says Hannah.

►May 29th 2019 Boy George Bio-pic MGM Movie Announced
It’s a good time to be on the musical biopic train! Just announced today by MGM studios Boy George & Culture Club are getting a bio-pic movie. It was just announced today that MGM will produce the film based on the life of Boy George, It will be written and directed by Sacha Gervasi. The movie will feature the humble beginnings of a young man who knew he was destined for fame. It’ll follow his upbringing, hicoming of agege, his battle with his sexuality — all the good stuff that we have seen in the other popular biopics. Unlike Mercury and John, Boy George has had more fun with the tabloids joking to be the first drag queen to win a Grammy Award "Thank you America, you got good taste, style, and know a good drag queen when you see one," George said at the Grammy's as Culture Club won the Best New Artist Award (via satellite from England). While today that may not sound outlandish, in 1984, as highlighted by a New York Times article at the time, some Americans didn't know what to do with George and his gender nonconformity. Or the time Culture Club debuted on Top of The Pops for the first time. The headlines read" Was it a boy? or Was it a girl?" You can expect this to spice things up a bit.
Written and Directed by Sacha Gervasi
Producer: Kevin King Templeton & Paul Kemsley
Executive Producer George O'Dowd & Jessica De Rothchild
George had a fun tweet today as well with this announcement!
►May 28th 2019 Boy George & Culture Club sign a deal with Primary Wave
Boy George believes he has lost hundreds of millions in royalty fees over the decades and wants to stop the bleeding.
Culture Club is linking up with independent music publishing firm Primary Wave to recoup the rights — and future profits — to hit songs like “Karma Chameleon” and “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”.
In a deal to be announced, Primary Wave will announce an undisclosed stake in Culture Club’s limited rights to its music in exchange for marketing the award-winning band’s songs — and attempting to win back its remaining copyrights.
Music publisher BMG, which owns the band’s publishing rights, would be one target, sources said.The new deal comes at an opportune time as Culture Club and Boy George plan to go on a world tour in 2020. Additionally, MGM is making a film on Boy George, whose androgynous looks and soulful voice captivated the ‘1980s.
“My songs are very precious to me,” Boy George told The Post. “They are the story of my life. I wanted to partner with Primary Wave as they respect the legacy but also understand I want the songs heard.”
“Let’s be honest, he’s just f—ing cool, he was very, very original and ahead of his time,” his manager Kemsley said. “He’s more than just a singer, he’s an icon. He’s a trailblazer. I’m expecting big things.”

Boy George Fashion Model for DIOR
Boy George appears to be in the midst of having a mini professional renaissance. While for some of us, the man who crooned, “Do you really want to hurt me?” from beneath half-closed, heavily-shadowed eyelids never went away, he’s now reaching a whole new generation thanks to a roll on The New Celebrity Apprentice and his handful of cheeky one-liners during his cameos on the new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But while the pop star known for his gender-bending take on fashion has long been a muse of avant-garde designers, for the first time he’ll actually get to star in his very own campaign, serving as the new face for Dior Homme’s Spring campaign.
The menswear brand released the images for their new ad campaign early Tuesday morning, featuring their Spring/Summer 2017 collection creative directed by Dior Homme’s head designer Kris Van Assche, styled by Olivier Rizzo, and photographed by Assche’s longtime collaborator, Willy Vanderperre in the studio and the streets of Paris.
In the pictures, Boy George wears his signature tall fedora festooned with pins, much like his black button-down which has been layered under a crisply tailored blazer and black leather bondage-inspired suspenders.

Boy George’s charm, warmth, and creativity shined throughout last night’s two-hour premiere. He led Team Arete in their task to organize an event highlighting the five-minute Tyover, created by the amazing Tyra Banks. You have to hand it to the fellas. I loved seeing all those tough guys (and even Jon Lovitz) apply makeup with such a gentle touch. It’s true: they came, they saw, they contoured.
And what a pleasure to see Boy George in the studio working on a song that helped Team Arete bring home another victory. Congratulations to the hilarious Jon Lovitz and St. Jude, a wonderful charity.
As promised, Governor Schwarzenegger was tough but fair. He stressed the importance of going all out for something you believe in. That’s exactly what we do at Safe Kids to save lives every day. As Boy George said, there’s nothing worse than losing a child to an injury that could have been prevented. We are empowering everyone to protect kids at home, on the road and at play. Join us and say "I'm In" to get your digital Safe Kids Kit to help us protect kids.
Generations Of Love 2017
Generations of Love has been remixed and remodeled for the new year with exclusive remixes done by Christopher Poxx and Phunx Investigation along with the Tommy Novy remix. The club anthem is expected to be big on the dance floor this summer. This will mark the 100th remix that has been done for the massive single. Generations Of Love was a huge club anthem in the early 1990’s it went to No.11 on the US club play charts and became a Top 40 hit in the UK.
Jesus Loves You's 'Generations of Love' a highlight from 1990. After the mayhem and mania of the 1980s, a decade he can feasibly claim to have owned, Boy George kicked off the ‘90s with the more understated, criminally underrated Jesus Loves You project. To this day it sounds like a paean to a lost generation, a huge regretful sigh. Here new collaboration between Boy George and Cristian Poow on this club anthem The hit song including remixes by Tom Novy and Cristian Poow and Phunk Investigation.
George has teamed up with DJ/Producer Roger Sanchez on the house track Hold On. The new single has been released on Itunes with two releases.
Hold On (Radio Edit) and Hold On (Extended Mix)
Tough Love & Roger 'S-Man' Sanchez combine again this time with Boy George to bring a deep and rolling anthemic record sure to be a club hit! Release out on

Culture Club's The Greatest Hits CD collection gets released in Japan with SHMD
Led by the notoriously androgynous Boy George, Culture Club took the world by storm in the 1980's. Their mix of pop, soul, and reggae may not have been unprecedented, but it certainly was a refreshing break from the scads of sound-alike New Wave bands cluttering up the airwaves.
A singles band on pareil, Culture Club is well served by GREATEST HITS is RELEASED on June 8, 2016, a concise culling of their career highlights. While they were certainly not without their festive moments (the lilting, calypso-tinged "I'll Tumble 4 Ya," the sing-along sunniness of "Karma Chameleon"), George and his pals were at their best on the more melancholy, mid-tempo tunes like ("Do You Really Want to Hurt Me;" and "Time (Clock Of The Heart), where the Boy really got a chance to burn his torch at both ends.
Three Decades later, Culture Club's best moments still stand up a hell of a lot better than many of their contemporaries' records. They are touring Worldwide this year on the 2nd leg of the "Tribes World Tour 2016 "

Culture Clubs Colour By Numbers Gets a Surprise Coloured Vinyl
"Colour by Numbers was Culture Club's most successful album, and can even be considered as one of the most popular albums from the 80s in general. Scoring five Top 10 hit singles, this set of songs dominated the album and singles charts for a full year and a half (86 weeks in total), both in the US and in Europe.
With its infectious songs, and outrageous music videos that were played all over MTV, and Boy George as a charismatic appearance, the band was a media magnet back in 1982,1983 and 1984. The vocals from Boy George sounded as warm and soulful as ever, resulting in both the burning down the house churner "Church Of The Poison Mind" and the irresistible county catchy "Karma Chameleon".
In the 80s music was, in many cases, flamboyant, fun, sexy, soulful, colorful, androgynous, and carefree, and this album captured that spirit perfectly. A must for any collector of 80s music, and the artistic and commercial pinnacle of a band that still attracted new fans 30 years later."

The Do's and Dont's while attending a Culture Club Concert Gig!
Am I pretty sure most of you die-hard fans have attended the first leg of the Culture Club Tribes World Tour this past Summer? It was a fantastic set of songs and many highlights that came with each show. I for one have attended a hand full this leg of the tour and let me tell you the Boy is very serious when you go to a Culture Club concert.
Are you there to have fun am I right? Not be on your cell phone taking zillion photos or talking to your neighbor about what's the next song?
Here is a list of the dos and ddontswhile attending a Culture Club concert.
DO: Make sure you get up and dance, everyone is there to see Culture Club they are not all focusing on you and watching you dance, plus you will never see these people ever again unless it's your pen-pal that is with you or someone from the Boy George and Culture Club community. lol
DO: Make sure you scream real loud when Roy Hay asasksou ttowhen Do you Really Want To Hurt Me is over. At one gig in New York City at the Beacon, fans went nuts over Do you really want to hurt me it was a rerecordsetf 2 minutes of people cheering.
The Don'ts
Don't: Please don't bring a Culture Club record to the concert George gets very upset when people hold up album flats at the Culture Club shows, he doesn't understand why the fans keep bringing those records.
Don't: Please don't take pictures at the show, George is very highly against the show, he wants you to enjoy the show live not by looking at it through your cell phone.
Don't: Please don't talk during Victims, George has only had two shows when the audience has not talked. One time in Japan and one time in Philadelphia. George sets himself off to a magical place when he performs Victims he doesn't want his moment to be ruined when he hears people talking in the background it gets him very upset.
Don't: Don't be reading on the internet with your cell phone and looking at magazines or news, If George sees you on your phone he will come to you and ask you "What you are doing?" He will say "Looking at your phone huh?"
"Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" 
"Karma Chameleon" 
"I'll Tumble 4 Ya"
