3 days after the Boy George gig but I'm still somewhere else. I expected a good day that day because of the fact I'd see George himself but it turned absolutely miraculous. I have his autograph on his autobiography, lots of great pictures and videos, sweet and loving memories of the show and George himself.
When you look at him these days he doesn't look as good as he used to. Add to this all his problems with drugs, prisons and bad attitude. But it seems he finally found peace and harmony because when he came on stage the world around just disappeared. Not because I love him that much but because I could feel his powerful personality and how much of himself he put into singing. I always ignored his song 'Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, nobody knows my sorrow' but when he started singing I suddenly felt connected with him and the music. There was really something about him live, he was calm and happy, emanating all the positive vibes of old wise man. When I was going to his show I wanted only to see him that close, to see in real life not in some old clip from the 80s. But what I saw surprised even me. Listening to his songs live not only gave me happy feeling as a fan but it let me thinking of certain things in my life. George was always a good lyrics writer and combined with his recent positive changes it turned the show into some kind of holy revelation. He was very sweet and friendly, even despite the venue was half-empty we gave him the best we could and he really enjoyed the evening. After the show his brother Kevin was very sweet to take stuff from fans to let George sign everything and then we were waiting for George outside the venue. He was very sweet to sign and have photos with fans and his bass player Kevan was kind enough to take my camera and take a photo of George for me. After this they drove away in the darkness of wonderful Moscow summer night, we were waving them and they were waving in return. And I still can't believe it was as good as it happened because I really didn't expect George to be so nice because George is George, you know! :) I'm really happy for him being happy. God bless you, Georgie!
