WHO: Boy George
WHEN: 26th Apr 2002
INTERVIEWED BY: Darren | getanightlife

It went something like this... We got an e-mail from Martin Metcalf down at Bar Bluu. "Guys... We've got Boy George playing the Tangerine Suite soon... come down, take some pics, chat to him."

Well it sounded damn fine to us and we drew up an action plan:- We'd put some pre-event info on site, Darren would run the interview, whilst Paul and Gav took pics of the evening. Simon had to be exonerated from any responsibility at this time as "I need time to sort my outfit... what am I gonna wear???"

Anyone interested in music and celeb gossip is bound to be a popbitch.com devotee! So Darren went on the site on Thursday and asked the assembled masses "What can I ask Boy George in interview?" Er... "What's it like to be known as Britain's 'stateliest' homosexual?"... "Fancy a shag?"... Oh and someone said... "See how long it takes him to drop a sexual innuendo into the conversation!"

So... we get down to the Tangerine Suite and you can't really deny that the place is buzzing! The DJ booth is like a goldfish bowl... BG fanatics are pressing their faces against the glass, desperate to catch his eye, and hoping to shake his hand! He plays his set and moves up to the White Rooms to chill at about 2.30.

So Darren gets the go-ahead to talk dirty with the DJ... and talk dirty they did!

Hello fella... you okay to chat for a bit then? 

Oh yeah! That's fine. But I need the loo first and I've got REALLY big balls so it could take a while! [First sexual innuendo officially timed at 3 seconds!!!]

For the record his loo break lasted a good five minutes... read into that what you will!?!

What 3 questions would you absolutely hate me to ask you?

How big my dick was, coz that's something you should find out for yourself. How long does it take to do your make-up, boring been hearing that for 20 years. Anything to do with Radio 1.

Radio 1? Why Radio 1?

I hate them.

Yeah, fair enough. How big is your dick then? 

Big enough, never had any complaints.

If you where sitting here interviewing yourself what 3 questions would you ask?

How big's your dick? Why, when and how? 

Hmmmmmmm.

What's the best thing in the world?

The smell of a man's armpit!

Anything else?

The touch of the back of their [a man's] thigh

Okay... the best place in the world? Be careful!

Haha... okay... this country is the best place in the world.

Why's that? 

Because as a DJ you travel all over the world and this is the place! 

If you had the choice of singing or being a DJ at the peak of your career what would you choose? 

Neither.

Why? What's the alternative? 

Cock sucking every time! 

Nice! What's the best song in the world? 

Walk on the Wild Side. 

Best album? 

Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell. 

Do you ever think... sod it... I won't wear a hat tonight? 

Only when I'm sleeping! 

If you could walk out of here tonight and be 16 again... and have the chance to live you life differently... 

I'd be David Beckham's underwear! 

What's the score with Culture Club? 

Whadaya mean? It's an ongoing soap opera. The Albert Hall in July! 

What's the worst record you made? 

I prefer to focus on the best ones actually. 

Fair enough... so what's the best then? 

That'll be the one I'm working on at the moment. 

Do you use the internet? 

Only to send e-mails. I find it all very boring. It's a way of avoiding contact and avoiding intimacy with people. 

So what's your favourite website? 

I'd say newromantics.net Have you been on it? 

No... what's it all about? 

Well GUESS what?... No there's no knobs... it's full of drag queens and people from the 80's. 

One not to access at work on Monday then? 

No... you'll be fine!

Boy George... a top singer, wicked DJ, and all round funny man! Damn nice to the getanightlife crew, signing autographs, posing for photos etc, etc!

As we left Darren thought "What the hell?" and asked BG if there was anything he could give us which we could give away in a competition on site.

[Boy George] Darren, give me your e-mail address and I'll get in touch. I'm gonna send you one of my huge dildos to giveaway.

Thanks George... I think!!!

As and when BG gets in touch we'll let ya know and maybe one of you will be the proud recipients of his dildo in the not too distant future!

All that's left to say is a massive thanks to the guys and gals at the Bar Bluu complex. Mart Metcalf, Mike, Chris, Claire….the list goes on...
