[kj] piu' OT -- Xmas Guilty Pleasure/s

[countessghoulita at aol.com]

 "Last Christmas" reminds me of a dispute I had with a classmate, who was very fond of George Michael. One day I told her that he didn't look like he'd be into girl, and she screamed "you have no idea of what real men are anyway, YOU are the one who listens to bands with gay singers!!!" Touche, decades later...

The same girl was an insane Simon Le Bon fan as well, and spoiled "Do They Know It's Christmas Time" for me since the very beginning (I loved Ultravox already, so I was curious about the song and seeing the video.) Since then, any fan who is obsessed with a musician for his/her looks makes me cringe, eventually.

My wife is unduly fond of "Last Christmas." What makes people want to play that song over and over? It's maddening.


I like "Do They Know It's Christmas?" if only because (a) it reminds me of my now very-distant youth and (b) its abjectly inane lyrics (OF COURSE there won't be any fucking snow in Africa this year, you DOLTS!) never fail to make me laugh.


Mariah Carey is a vile pestilence.
