John Bolton - It Took 40+ Years But I Like Boy George

00:00:00.000 Back in 1983, I was an 18-year-old working at Zeller's Department Store in Sarnia, Ontario.

00:00:07.380 And being an 18-year-old at the time, I really was into music.

00:00:11.200 I was listening to things like Rush and Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath, among many others.

00:00:16.820 And I remember walking through the entertainment section at Zeller's one day, and I saw this album cover right here.

00:00:24.260 and i remember looking at this album culture club color by numbers and the first thing that

00:00:30.820 crossed my mind was what the hell is that and that i was referring to was boy george the lead

00:00:39.320 singer for culture club nobody had ever really seen anything like him at the time and i have to

00:00:45.220 say i was never a fan of culture club back then not because their music wasn't good but because

00:00:51.820 I was listening to Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd and Rush, it just wasn't cool. But I have to say

00:00:58.520 Boy George over the years has kind of grown on me. I've grown to like a bit of Culture Club's music

00:01:03.580 because I've matured, but I have to say I am a real big fan of Boy George today because of this.

00:01:10.720 This is an article from Warren Kinsella in the Toronto Sun. Boy George earns wrath of forces

00:01:15.660 of cultural fascism with October 7th song. Opposition to a song that objects to the mass

00:01:22.320 murder of some kids at a dance festival is Nazi-level hate. You see, Mr. George has recorded

00:01:28.940 a song called We Will Dance Again in Support of Israel. He is not Jewish himself, but apparently

00:01:35.280 he has worn the Star of David over the years. Here are some of the lyrics from Mr. Kinsella's

00:01:41.040 article. If you're ever confused, I stand with the Jews, George sings. I don't feel brave. I just

00:01:48.220 need to behave like a human. He goes on to correctly address why so many have been swayed

00:01:53.820 by the siren song of anti-Semitism. The song continues, you condemn the Jews with selective

00:02:00.360 memory. Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep, propaganda fueled by internet feels so

00:02:08.240 weak. To Mr. George, I would like to say thank you very much for speaking out like this. I have

00:02:14.780 become a fan, and over the years, I've grown to like your music much more, although I have to say

00:02:20.540 I've never been a big fan of Karma Chameleon.
