I have the outmost admiration for this amazingly talented artist and yes that man has brass balls!! To be the way he was in that era,having accomplished what he has and to have stayed true to himself up until today qualifies Boy George as a true icon...
The 1970's were far more flamboyant and eccentric than today!! I'm the same age as George and we had Bolan, Bowie, Roxy et al. Great days. The English always used to break the norm...But all credit to him for facing his Dad!!
October 2020. Loving this interview. Letterman and Boy George having so much fun. Both on the same wavelength. Saw him live in Toronto - fabulous entertainer. I'm an old lady fan - used to be a young lady fan - still love him!
I'm soo thankful for the Boy George's of the World. I so appreciate his honesty and heartfelt courage to own it. He is authentic, beautiful and a talented entertainer who challenged the status quo just by being himself with intelligence, wit, humor, grace and integrity. Good on you Boy George! Good on you!
Boy George has that kind of personality you can’t help but like , smiling, friendly, witty and intelligent, when you see an interview with him it’s like a good book you can’t put it down till it’s finished
I'm only half way through this video and I gotta tell ‘ya... for Letterman to put on that jacket is very magnanimous, gracious, polite, and terribly forward thinking of him to agree to do this... and on camera is absolutely tremendous, it speaks volumes.... I didn’t think he was going to do it, then I thought he was just placating the Boy..... this shows him in a new light. I didn’t think he had it in him....Bravo Dave!! Also I love the Boys’ first line...”....I’m not messing around this time...”... I screamed and almost fell out of my chair....
@@markpalmer8083 ….uh…. Hello…. It’s not ‘Just A Jacket’…. It a Boy George Designed Jacket…. and besides …. You wish you had a jacket like that …. Better yet you wish the Boy made you a jacket….. BEGONE!!!
He’s very polite and has a great sense of humor both at the same time. I admire him, his looks and his confidence. I’ve been binge watching his videos now after 38 years. He was a pop phenomenon!
I can't believe how young he was. Culture Club was really popular, then imploded, and I'm thinking it had alot to do with a backlash and homophobia. I mean, that was the early-mid 80s.
So true. I could never understand how Boy George lost all his popularity. It seems it was all over for Boy George after his 1986 appearance on the 'A-Team'.
I'll never forget the time Boy George asked me if I had any cocaine at the Bowery Bar in Manhattan waiting by the bathroom by himself in the afternoon. It was very sad to say the least. I'm glad he cleaned up his act and I will never hero worship again.
I personally feel Culture Club ended up being about Boy George. The rest of the guys became a backdrop of sorts. George knew as the media and public knew, it was about him. He was the centrepiece. He is witty here but I often wonder about the rest of the band.
Such an "under dog" if you WILL, in that era; and yet he is still relevant TODAY! The fact that he spoke so eloquently at only in his young twenties- wow- watch interviews nowadays off 23 yr old celebs and notice the difference!

+Don Giller yes the date is correct because Culture Club had just played my city Nov.3rd which was 11 days earlier and i remember staying up to watch this. I was 15yo at the time but i remember it vividly.
