Boy George, Marilyn & Jocelyn Brown in a 1985-86 studio interview.

[Wscate]

George is so hot in this interview.

[upfrontbear74]

Gender Blender LOL

[therealsoulproduct]

Oh yeah, I remember Jocelyn Brown too. She sang with the Disco band Change (featuring a young Luther Vandross).

[therealsoulproduct]

Are you sure about that George? Culture Club paving the way for Prince? Hmmmm......

[RocStarr913]

@therealsoulproduct In some ways, Boy George's look did pave the way for Prince's crossover appeal. Prince's more outrageous and androgynous look was inspired by his touring Britain and Europe, where the British New Romantic scene was big at the dawn of the 1980's, and Boy George, years before Culture Club was ever formed, was already a celebrity of sorts in the British New Romantic fashion club scene.

[therealsoulproduct]

@RocStarr913 I mean, yes, but to a certain extent. Prince already had the wild, androgynous thing about before the whole New Romantic thing occurred. I know that he was influenced by that scene (he event went to Steve Strange's parties during the "Dirty Mind" tour), but he was already as wild and freaky as those guys like Boy George and Adam Ant.

[htownjesse]

Marilyn who?

[mrfrogbutt1]

you people write responses that make grammatical sense! who the fuck is "maz?"

[SkankExpose]

Got some coke bloat, Boy? JEZUUUZ! I love Boy George's voice, but I always found him to be a smug, arrogant douche' bag!

[mikeyb2186]

" If someone at the record company said some of the things he's said to me, I'd punch them in the face"...?? That's funny..

[lakotamoondancer]

MsSmartiepants2 - regarding your ridiculous comment that no-one cares about Marilyn and nobody would bother buying a book about him, you only need to look at the hundreds of comments under his videos and on his youtube channel to see how many people do genuinely care about him and would jump at the chance to buy the book. I for one will be first in the queue to buy it when it comes out.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@lakotamoondancer And you shall receive a first edition copy! xox

[lakotamoondancer]

@mrsfineanddandy and signed too I hope?! xx

[JoanCollins2009]

@lakotamoondancer

well said love loads like/love/respect Maz x

[kezie666666]

fab

[mrsfineanddandy]

oh yeah, as this is all about setting the record straight: I've never tried cocaine. I USED to use/abuse oxycontin, but I no longer do (thank God).

[mrsfineanddandy]

As for Coby (and this is for any OTHER person who may read this), Fiona doesn't actually know him. I do. He is a class act and an honest, stand-up guy, not to mention a wonderful friend.

[MsSmartiepants2]

@mrsfineanddandy Really? But he just had to go to the media and slam George even though George never said one thing publically bad about him. Who would trust your judgment about anyone? Real classy to be bashing people in the media.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@MsSmartiepants2 Thank you for sharing...

[MsSmartiepants2]

@mrsfineanddandy Why did you delete your lovely comment? Are you ashamed? If you knew Marilyn so well, you'd know he and George are friends. George posted a picture of them together on twitter. Does Marilyn agree with your and Coby's George hatred and vendetta? I don't think so.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@MsSmartiepants2 I removed it because I didn't want to encourage still more of your ridiculous chatter. Believe whatever you like, Fiona. That's what you're best at.

[odowdfan]

@mrsfineanddandy MsSmartiepants2 is Fiona? That explains a lot!

[mrsfineanddandy]

@odowdfan LoL! Yeah... The one and only.... Thank GOD! xox

[MsSmartiepants2]

I have a news flash for you and everyone. George is back on drugs. Okay, I criticize George all the time but deep down I do care about him. I hope he gets to rehab and doesn't end up like Amy Winehouse. Jon and I will cry an ocean of tears if George dies. but you and Coby will laugh and be happy. I think that says it all.

[MsSmartiepants2]

If you aren't a fan and don't care about George, why do you come to videos about him and post? Let's be honest. People don't care about Jon or Marilyn. If they want to know anything about George, they want to know about what really happened between him and the escort. Put that in the book and people might care. But of course you have no clue what really went on.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@MsSmartiepants2 Fiona... I happen to care very deeply about Marilyn; I DID PUBLICLY post on YOUR FACEBOOK WALL that it was wrong of me to EVER comment about Jon and that YOU WERE PROBABLY RIGHT ALL ALONG about Jon; and yes... I'm writing a book. I will make a note that you won't be purchasing it.

[MsSmartiepants2]

@mrsfineanddandy What a joke. No one will be buying it because it won't be published. No one cares.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@MsSmartiepants2 Thank you for sharing...

[MsSmartiepants2]

I like Jon, but I would never write a book about their relationship. The 80's are over, no one would buy it! You are the mental case still holding a grudge against George for the Coby stuff. Take a tip from Jon! He is fine with being friends with George. Why can't Coby do the same?

[MsSmartiepants2]

I have another question for you. Who came to George's 50th birthday party and who supported him when he was in jail? Jon! Mr. Marilyn was nowhere to be seen and even said George was guilty. Marilyn is a user and Jon is for real. But you morons can't see that because you are so caught up in superficial sexuality labels.

[MsSmartiepants2]

Why does everyone jump to Marilyn's defense when he clearly used George for fame with no background in the music business? But no one is allowed to defend Jon Moss when he is crucified as a user with no talent, forgetting he was in tons of punk bands before George like the Damned and the Clash. It's all political correctness. If you are gay and a draq queen you are perfect. But if you are straight/bisexual and Jewish you are a user. Boy George fans are stupid.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@MsSmartiepants2 Fiona, you are a mental case, do you know that? First, I do not hate Jon Moss. You actually have to CARE about someone in order to hate them... and I don't know the man. I have no idea WHAT went on between them. And as the book I am writing is not about Jon and George's relationship, you just might be right--I may not include much about Jon. As for Marilyn "using" George--GET YOUR FUCKING FACTS STRAIGHT. You are wrong. Period. About him AND his musical background.

[MsSmartiepants2]

@mrsfineanddandy But why do you care about Marilyn? Do you really know what went on between them either? No one cares about Marilyn. If you are going to write about George, you have to write about every facet of his life, which includes Jon too. Be honest. You don't care about either Jon or Marilyn. You just want revenge on George for Coby who is your friend .You don't really care about Marilyn either.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@MsSmartiepants2 As my HUSBAND is Jewish, I resent you accusing me of being anti-semetic. And FYI you obsessed fanatic: I AM BISEXUAL!!! So I resent your other comment as well. Again, you speak of things you know NOTHING about. George WAS GUILTY and there are actual FACTS that you are OBLIVIOUS to. But be my guest: continue to show your ignorance to the world!!!

[MsSmartiepants2]

@mrsfineanddandy George is guilty of what? Handcuffing the escort? I agree. But if Coby and Marilyn are so talented why can't they make it on their own without George. If there's any interest in a book, it would be about all of George's life, not just Marilyn. Stop lying, You aren't going to write a book. Or and Melissa stay off the cocaine and the heroin. That might help with all your delusions.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@MsSmartiepants2 FINALLY, while I USED to be a fan of George's, I AM MOST CERTAINLY NO FAN NOW. George himself and his vile actions (combined with GROWING UP) has cured me of that! I would actually state I am NO ONE'S "fan" as that particular word (which suits you well) is short for ... wait for it... FANATIC!

[mrsfineanddandy]

Last rant for now: Look at the dates of this interview! "Despite Straight LInes" had ZERO to do with George and had already been released. "Calling Your Name" had already hit number one in many countries in the world, if i'm not mistaken.

George was "accepted" because he was non-threatening and asexual.... Marilyn was and is charged with sexuality and challenges everything everyone thinks they know about their own sexuality—and that threatens insecure people.

[mrsfineanddandy]

"Borderline macho"??? Borderline Personality is MUCH CLOSER TO THE TRUTH!!!

[mrsfineanddandy]

Look up "Victims" and then look up the official video to "Cry and Be Free." Despite the release dates, "Cry and Be Free" was written, recorded and the video was shot BEFORE "Victims." Watch them side by side and tell me who stole from whom!

My book is coming soon, detailing the truth behind the hundreds of pervasive lies regarding George and his so-called friendship with Marilyn. Time to set history STRAIGHT (pun INTENTED)!

[mrsfineanddandy]

re-read this after I "cooled down." INTENDED... not "intented" ... can't friggin' type when I'm fuming! ;)

[MsSmartiepants2]

@mrsfineanddandy What about the lies he told about Jon Moss? I bet that won't be in the book. Because you are a Jon Moss hater. it's not politically correct to call him out on those lies because Jon is Jewish and straight or bisexual not a gay drag queen like Marilyn. George didn't write the music of Victims anyway.. Roy Hay wrote it. So I guess Marilyn stole from him.

[mrsfineanddandy]

How many LIES can one person tell in a SINGLE INTERVIEW?

1. Marilyn was on the catwalks of the most elite designers in Paris and Tokyo and starred in "Steppin' Out" before George ever sang a NOTE.

2. The thought of being George's "boyfriend" or even TOUCHING George would make Maz's skin crawl!

3. George stepped in & STOLE the track Marilyn was working on w/another producer. ASK George "the producer" exactly what he said RE: Maz to the HEAD of the US label! THAT KILLED Maz's US debut!

[USAHEARTBEAT]

@mrsfineanddandy Thank you for this insightful comment. Never gave it much thought. :)

[lalainefan1]

@mrsfineanddandy What is your problem? Do you really have nothing better to do then diss Boy George. Im not saying George didn't say or do shit to Marilyn but Marilyn did stuff to George too. You're making Marilyn out to be completely innocent.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@lalainefan1 I am actually working on a book about their notorious "friendship," I'm curious as to where all the "Marilyn is a user" & "Marilyn did stuff to George" rumors/myths began and why they persist. I actually started out as a hard-core Boy George FANATIC in the 80s (as a teen). I knew very little about Maz back then & assumed the same things you are assuming. My info is now (as an adult) based on fact & first-hand experience & I'm wondering what yours is based on. Call it "research." xox

[MsSmartiepants2]

@mrsfineanddandy Who would publish a book about Boy George and Marilyn now? No one gives a damn anymore about two has been drag queens! It's stupid. No one says anything bad about Marilyn anyway. But Jon Moss is endlessly crucified in the media and no one has an issue with that. Are you going to admit as a Boy George fanatic you were wrong to diss Jon Moss? Yes or no?

[mrsfineanddandy]

@lalainefan1 Name one thing. ONE thing. That's all. NAME ONE THING Marilyn did to George. ONE.

[ChannelBelongs2Scott]

@mrsfineanddandy

I thought that sounded weird too. Maybe they meant "boyfriend" like how gay men and women refer to their female friends as "girlfriends". Not your BOYFRIEND, just a guy who happens to be your friend.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@ChannelBelongs2Scott You'd be surprised at how many people still believe George & Marilyn slept together, They've never been anything but platonic friends. It's just another rumor that won't die.

[stockholmboy]

@mrsfineanddandy

3. What track did George steal??

[Ladyj0hnson]

@mrsfineanddandy I agree with you~ Anyone who has half a brain cell would know George and Marilyn NEVER dated!

[Wscate]

@mrsfineanddandy All you have to do is read Georges Bio and it shows you how much of a lier and can't sing and played a big part in getting george on drugs he is an ass.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@Wscate ummm... or... George lied in the book. Because he's a liar. And that's what liars do.

[odowdfan]

Marilyn is such a user.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@odowdfan Marilyn is a "user"? On what do you base that? Hmmm... could it be on things GEORGE HAS SAID??? Grow a brain, dear. Or not... after all, for people like you, the truth rarely stands in the way of useless opinions.

[odowdfan]

@mrsfineanddandy - Wow. You have some anger issues. It happens to be a fact. And not just according to George.

[mrsfineanddandy]

@odowdfan If by "user" you mean he has used drugs, you need to switch your verb to the past tense, as he is actually clean and sober. By any other definition, my question stands: Do you know him personally?

[lakotamoondancer]

@odowdfan It's not a matter of having "anger issues". It's a matter of trying to stop lies being spread about Marilyn. If anyone has the authority to speak the truth about Boy George and Marilyn, mrsfineandandy has. On what are you basing your "facts"?

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

WOW!



[astroman123]

george looks so fat here!

[JeuneFilleaCarnival]

george is high here and loves to put marilyn down in front of others, sometimes more subtly. I love george since day one and so I can spot even the not so nice things about him. But at the end of the day they were just kids here. Marilyn looks brill, very "sold" before george took the look 2 yrs later

[USAHEARTBEAT]

@JeuneFilleaCarnival GOOD CATCH! MARILYN IS SO "SOLD" HERE! Crazy never even caught that! Thanks for commenting!

[Popfeenin]

Thaks for posting this...Have not seen this in ages! I remember seeing this and thinking that Marilyn would soon be successful in America...

[USAHEARTBEAT]

@Popfeenin Thank you so much for watching and leaving a nice comment! :)

[cultureclub538]

Thank you so much dear..I have never seen this before..

[martymartymarty]

George and Maz are so stoned here, but it's thankfully hilarious. Jocelyn is adorable as always, and George is indeed very generous with his female vocalist(s) onstage. I think this report was quite fair, so often TV fluffs things up and this one did a good job with "junkie" George. Love him then, love him now, glad he still loves big loud women. ;-)

[martymartymarty]

@Nightbird - Nothing became of Jocelyn????? You need to take a look at Discogs dot com or even just Google her name. She has a vast discography and legendary status in dance music. Yikes, how can you not know that?

[Nightbird]

@martymartymarty My comment was a correct one. While she may have a "vast" discography, this does not equate fame & fortune..which is what George had in mind for her. Most people have no clue of who she is..and while there are a few people like yourself who may be aware of her..most aren't..haven't bought her music..or even recognize her name. Helen Terry had a phenomenal career with Culture Club and did some solo work..but again..that doesn't mean she achieved much commercially after CC.

[USAHEARTBEAT]

@Nightbird Nicely stated and I agree with you ten fold Nightbird.

[Nightbird]

@USAHEARTBEAT Thank you USAHEARTBEAT, and thank's for posting all these great videos too!

[vetG2008]

wow! never seen this before.thank you for sharing.x

[USAHEARTBEAT]

@vetG2008 :) Thank you for watching!

[Nightbird]

I can't believe this reporter described George as "Borderline Macho"..lol. No matter what he wore..he was always fem to a T.

Sadly..nothing became of Jocelyn.

And while Marilyn earned praise & fame in England and some other countries..for some reason he wasn't accepted or promoted well in the USA..even though he had a soulful voice and looked fantastic.

[USAHEARTBEAT]

@Nightbird Thank you so much for your comment! "Borderline Macho" TOO FUNNY!
