Michael slams Blair...oh and he has a new album too
Published March 02, 2004
CMU reports:
George Michael is doing politics again. With his first album since his reunion with Sony - 'Patience' - out this month, Michael has been ranting in an exclusive interview with the Big Issue.
Michael: "I can't imagine what it feels like for people who lost their kids [in the Iraq War] to hear Tony Blair's pathetic little bleatings that he still thinks the world is a safer place. It's disrespectful. I wish to God that the Labour Party had the guts to get rid of Blair, because it could survive another election without him. I think it's too important for world affairs that he's gone. I think globally he is a dangerous man. He is an altruist who thinks he's doing everything for the best, but he cannot face up to his own ego."
On things more musical, Michael said he was optimistic this album would be a
success: "I always believed I would outlast everyone with the possible exception of Madonna. And I honestly believe that with this record, I will finally be on the same page with everybody else. I think it will be an undeniable year."

Frankly, he made a lot more sense and was far less insufferable when he pretended to be straight. I guess people stil give a shit in the UK, but his fan club here dwindled down to zero about ten years ago.

An undeniable year? Well, I suppose in the sense that no one is likely to deny that this year is actually 2004, and that it comes between 2003 and 2005-- but what the hell is he talking about?
