When creating my art I listen to several musical influences from Culture Club & (solo) Boy George tunes. THANK YOU for inspiring me. I've had the esteem pleasure of meeting you all (Boy George, Jon Moss, Mikey Craig & Roy Hay)...One of the GREATEST BANDS EVER!!!!
Only wish I had the privilege and honor to make the acquaintance of , the one and "ONLY"...Helen Terry.
Boy George Obsession
Also,
There is a brief glimpse of Mikey Craig going into the VH1 Sony Music Studios-In NYC 1998 to film & record the Storytellers series version of The Culture Club reunion. A magical moment and I was able to be there because my friend Jamie Burke could not find another Boy George fanatic to accompany him.
If you see the DVD or Blue Ray you can spot me, I'm sitting next to Roy Hay with a red bandana on my head. That night was really cool because I was able to go on stage and talk to Mikey, Jon & Roy. I asked Boy George a question (on camera) but it was edited out, SHIT!
Doesn't matter because these guys were super sweet to me. I was the ONLY person in the audience allowed to go on stage and talk to them. Several New York celebrities were in attendance, Amanda Lepore, David Lachapelle and Jocelyn Wildenstein to name a few. My friend who had invited me to the event was so jealous but HAPPY for me cause he knew what this meant to me, I was talking to my idols. They are much more than musicians to me, they constructed the soundtrack to my LIFE growing-up.
Another very special moment about this evening, one of the camera men who was hired to film the show for VH1 was incidentally one of the cute camera guys who had worked on the MTV show I was on, called "The GRIND from 1992-1996". He was one of the guys who taped me for celluloid history every time I danced on t.v. Me & Jamie Burke sat in the front row and absorbed it all together-Jamie was once my boss at Limelight with Marc Berkley (R.I.P).
Below are two photos of Me and Christopher outside of Taboo-Boy George & Rosie O'Donnell's play project on Broadway in 2003, We bought our tickets for front row and guess who? came out of a limousine to enter the theater...Right in front of us in full make-up, Boy George. Christopher spotted him first.
We took this picture afterwards (thats' why I'm smiling). In the other photo-Jamie, Me and Christopher are all getting ready to go into Radio City Music Hall to see Culture Club...The Big Rewind Tour.
Also Christopher and Me (in the audience) on The People's Court with our favorite Judge Marilyn Milian-She laughed when she saw my shirt.
