Ask Boy George about anything and he'll give you his opinion. The Culture Club singer who will soon be doing community service at an AIDS hospice as a condition of his drug bust in New York, says he doesn't get the appeal of Pete Doherty, and that he was surprised when he heard Sir Elton John had married his longtime lover David Furnish. According to contactmusic, George insists homosexual men should snub convention.
"I've spent many years being abused for being gay and I love being gay. But Elton getting married, what is that? I was raised to be an alien. Now don't tell me I can be normal. It's too late."
He also has some observations about the new generation of rock stars and took a few minutes to swipe at Babyshambles front man Doherty to MTV news: "I don’t know what he’s done. What would be interesting would be if he was like Mick Jagger or someone that has a history, but he’s made one record.”
“It says something about the state of our industry that we’re so desperate for a rock and roll star… and we slag off Kate Moss for being a coke head and slag off Boy George for taking drugs, but with Pete Doherty, it’s like ‘Oh please be a rock and roll star!’ But what has he done?
“The Pete Doherty thing, I just don’t get it.”
