George michael is dead

I am surprised it was something so "normal" as heart failure, if that what it was. He had a very risky lifestyle, including substance abuse and perhaps sex addiction, with a predilection to anonymous, public sex with strangers and had a long-term relationship with a partner that discovered he had AIDS several months into their relationship. (Don't read any judgement into that because I have certainly had/have issues with things like that as well.)

I was not a fan of most of his music but there are three tunes that I really like for some reason. Probably because I associate them with the time I dated a stripper in 1990 and they regularly played these songs in her place of work. It might sound odd, but that was a good time in my life so I apparently have some positive association.

Plus I think they are quality productions. Even if I do not like the music I can usually appreciate the professionalism that went into making the song/video.
