Host Moderator says:

squeakie says:
Brian Molko is my BROTHER
Host "David Bowie" says:
Hi Everybody!  And George a big welcome to you to the BowieNet Family!
Host "Boy George" says:
Boy George:  Hello Back from me!
Host "David Bowie" says:
Gosh I see you're on form today, George!
squeakie says:
Do we start now?
Host "David Bowie" says:
George, as you're our guest, I give you first choice - you can pick the first question.
Host Moderator says:
Rupert says:
Is your head ok george?
Host "David Bowie" says:
Again?
Host "Boy George" says:
I'm surprised Rupert knows about.  My head is fine I got knocked down a set of stairs on Friday but I'm fine now.  I've got a strong head - I was out of control,  it was a scary session.
Host "David Bowie" says:
George, does that give you inspriation for songs, that kind of incident?
squeakie says:
"Do you Really Want to Hurt meee?"
Host Mod2 says:
Gilly says:
did you guys meet up at the brits last week?
Host "Boy George" says:
The worst thing about it is I don't remember it happening and I've decided to stop drinking now.  I don't remeber being there I don't remember being drunk.  It's not very glamous.
Host "Boy George" says:
Yes we did very briefly.
squeakie says:
George what was it like touring with the band again after all these years?
Host "David Bowie" says:
George was floating on high when I saw him.  Were you getting ready to go on stage at the time, George?
Host "Boy George" says:
I was yest, I was getting ready to going to present the dance award to Fatboy Slim.
Host "David Bowie" says:
That's a nice album, Fat Boy Slim
Host "Boy George" says:
He's amazing Fatboy Slim, he used to be in the House Martins - quite an amasing thing.
Host "Boy George" says:
Where have you been for the last 15 years?  I don't do shit!
squeakie says:
George what was it like touring with the band again after all these years?
Host Mod2 says:
ramsey says:
Hi George, just wanted to say I saw your concert in Philly last year and it was great.  Kick-ass rendition of Starman
Host "David Bowie" says:
I'll interupt there and say that I'm absolutely knocked out that George is doing Star Man and why did you pick that particular song?
Host "Boy George" says:
Well for about the last 10 years I have been doing different songs of yours in my set - Suffraget City, Queen Bitch and currently, Starman.
Host "Boy George" says:
No I'm not an early period person.
Host "David Bowie" says:
So you're an early period person, are you?
squeakie says:
George would you say that your biggest influence is Bowie?
Host "Boy George" says:
I should say I got into David's music when I was 13.  I saw him at Lewisham Odean on a Ziggy Tour and I still love the music he's making now.
Host "Boy George" says:
I think that answers that.
Host Mod2 says:
kizmee says:
George, your gonna be in my home town Hannover soon, Are you gonna play only old songs or new ones also?
squeakie says:
ooo got it
Host "Boy George" says:
Yeh, whenever we tour we always do a selection of oldies and current stuff.   You have to do the old ones otherwise people hate you.  I think I'm as guilty as any other pop fan because when I go and see my favourite stars I want to hear something I know as well.
Host Mod2 says:
Bonster says:
wow, George is psychic! he answers the question before it's asked ;)
Host "David Bowie" says:
We have the strangest set up.  As well as having our own personal limousines waiting in the room, George and I both have a bevy of typists who are competing against each other to see who can get the answre up first.  In different cities.  Some times, the replies are getting out before the questions.  This should make for a very bizarre transcript.
Host "David Bowie" says:
I'm putting this up for you George.
Host Mod2 says:
"Total Blam Blam" says:
Your Express column gives me the horn, but do you actually write it yourself - Or is it all a big con like David's Mirrabelle column in the 70's?
Host "David Bowie" says:
I didn't
Host "Boy George" says:
I do write it myself.  I didn't know David did a Mirabell column in the 70's.
squeakie says:
do you and brian molko swap makeup tips?
Host "David Bowie" says:
I had a girl working for me called Cherry Vanilla and I just told her to go ahead and write my journal for me on a weekly basis.  So she just wrote about what she did all week and put my name to it.  so I was going to everything from underground movies in SoHo to fashion shows in Manhattan
Host "David Bowie" says:
and while I was toiling away in Oslo or something.
squeakie says:
do you and brian molko swap makeup tips?
Host "David Bowie" says:
But George, do you find time to write your column every week or do you cram it in when you can?
Host "Boy George" says:
Sometimes it's a real panic and I'v missed a few deadlines but somehow or other I've always managed to get it there.
Host "David Bowie" says:
I've missed weeks at a time on my journal and I have no excuses.
squeakie says:
BAD BOY!
Host "David Bowie" says:
I thought that I would fictionalize a journal at one point and write a months worth of days in advance.
Host "David Bowie" says:
But that never panned out either.
Host "David Bowie" says:
Your call

VernAphexWINDOWLICKER says:
Whats it like to be known as DJ Boy George now, and what do u get from being a DJ?
Host "Boy George" says:
Nice name Windowlicker, what does it mean?  Yes I love DJ'ing - but lately its starting to get a little bit like doing pop concert.  When I started it, it was during a lull in my career and people kind of let me get on with it but now they drive me insane!!!

<Mod2> 28hank says:rnWould George like 
   to be a judge in the speedo contest?
<Boy\bGeorge> Speedos are skimpy 
   swimming trunks and I don't look 
   very good in them.
<David\bBowie> You were asked to judge 
   the contest not to wear them, 
   George.  However, George would have 
   to battle it out
<David\bBowie> with Tybalt and Total 
   Blam Blam who I believe are the 
   current judges.  Is this true?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think speedos have 
   something to do with beaches, 
   swimming pools and fit-bods - so 
   leave me out.
<Mod2> 28Tybalt says:rnWe're gonna 
   open up the judging to the ENTIRE 
   bowienet community
<RaMOANa> I plan to wear them on my 
  head, can I enter?
<David\bBowie> Diplomatic discretion 
   there Tybalt
<Boy\bGeorge> I don't understand all 
   this speedo stuff actually.  
   Whatever happened to the feather 
   boa?
<Mod2> 28Genoa says:rnBoy, in italy we 
   have recently seen Velvet Goldmine. 
   Did you see it? If so, what do you 
   think of it?
<Boy\bGeorge> I saw Velvet Gold mine 
   and I thought it was an insult to 
   my youth.  I sat in the cinema 
   tutting throughout and thought they 
   got it completely wrong. American's 
   shouldn't make movies about British 
   culture.
<David\bBowie> Definitely not enough 
   shopping in it.
<Mod2> 28Picadilly says:rnGeorge..What 
   are you wearing right now?
<Boy\bGeorge> I'm wearing very scruffy 
   clothes.  Nothing exotic unfortunate
   ly.  Sweatpants, a dirty old 
   T-shirt and a bobble hat.
<David\bBowie> Late '90's scruffy is 
   equivalent to early '90's high 
   fashion
<Moderator> 28Bonster says:rnwhat's a 
   bobble hat?
<Moderator> 28Picadilly says:rnNO 
   makeup?
<Boy\bGeorge> Yes Picadilly - no 
   makeup.
<Mod2> 28Charlie says:rnGeorge, are 
   you an avid internet user?
<RaMOANa> scary
<Boy\bGeorge> This is my second time 
   on the internet.  I'm actually 
   worried I would become obsessed and 
   have no life.  I understand you can 
   make sexually conquests on the 
   internet.
<Boy\bGeorge> I have friends that do 
   it reguarly.
<Mod2> 28Bonster says:rnsorry, I'm one 
   of those Americans who should make 
   movies about British culture ;)
<David\bBowie> Okay Bonster, how would 
   you deal with it?  In a nutshell, 
   be succint.
<RaMOANa> Britain has culture?
<David\bBowie> We'll hear from Bonster 
   later.
<Mod2> 28VernAphexWINDOWLICKER says:rnW
   ill u be recording as Culture Club 
   ever again??
<Boy\bGeorge> At the moment I'm 
   working on a new album with Culture 
   Club so I guess the answer is "yes".
<Mod2> 28Emilio says:rnBoy George, in 
   your book you describe the first 
   time David spoke to you. "I said 
   hello and he told me I looked like 
   Klaus Nomi, the freaky operatic 
   singer from New York. I was 
   insulted. I was an original. I 
   decided Bowie was better as a 
   concept than a reality, an ordinary 
   bloke with crooked teeth and a 
   funny eye who happened to change
<RaMOANa> you getting back with Jon 
  then?
<Mod2> my life." Is that what you 
   still think about him (apart from 
   the teeth, which are different)?
<Boy\bGeorge> Yes, it's true - David 
   was at a club called the Beetroot 
   or the Embassy, I think so and he 
   told me I looked like Klaus Nomi 
   and I was very depressed cause I'd 
   spent hours getting ready, but to 
   be honest I was just thrilled he'd 
   spoke to me.
<Mod2> 28kizmee says:rnHave you seen 
   the movie The Wedding Singer? What 
   did you think of the "George" in 
   there?
<David\bBowie> Is it interesting 
   George that both of us to a certain 
   extent have a persona for stage and
<David\bBowie> then we see our 
   personas personad in a movie.  So 
   one is getting a third hand 
   fabrication of who we are?
<David\bBowie> Does that not give you 
   sleepless nights?
<Boy\bGeorge> The only thing that 
   depresses me is when I'm portrayed 
   as a mincing old fairy.
<Boy\bGeorge> When in actual fact I'm 
   quite blokey.
<David\bBowie> When you should be a 
   young mincing fairy.
<Boy\bGeorge> We're both south London 
   boys.
<Boy\bGeorge> David do you know that I 
   used to hang outside your house in 
   Beckingham?
<Boy\bGeorge> Do you remember the 
   Wimpy bar down the road?
<David\bBowie> No I read that but I 
   never believed it.  Is it true?
<Boy\bGeorge> She did I was outside 
   Hadden Hall and Angie opened the 
   window and said Why don't you all 
   fuck-off.  We were thrilled.
<David\bBowie> I think that's her 
   wittiest line
<Boy\bGeorge> I can remember her 
   looking very glamours.
<Mod2> 28straffer says:rnBoy who is 
   your favorite band at the moment?
<Boy\bGeorge> My favourite band at the 
   moment is Bell and Sebastian.  It's 
   very Velvet Underground and quirky. 
    But I also like Placebo, especially
    Pure Morning.  and I like to see 
   boys in make-up looking like girls.
<Mod2> 28LiLu says:rnshould i be 
   calling you Boy?   i'd like to name 
   my kids Boy and Girl ...
<Boy\bGeorge> I was going to say be 
   careful what you name your children,
    kids can be cruel.
<David\bBowie> Is that like be careful 
   for what you wish for?
<Boy\bGeorge> Think about Paul Yates.
<Mod2> 28Bianca says:rnIs there any 
   truth that you are planning to make 
   your life into a film, George? Is 
   there any role for David planned in 
   it?
<David\bBowie> Hasn't he done that 
   already?
<RaMOANa> <JanGenie> What, George has 
  a problem with children named 'Fifi 
  Trixibelle'? :-)
<David\bBowie> How far into the 
   production process is that film, 
   George.
<Boy\bGeorge> There is a film being 
   made by the BBC and Fineline and 
   there are references to David.  At 
   the moment we are grovelling around 
   for extra millions but it should be 
   happening this year.
<David\bBowie> Unfortunately, I just 
   bought cigarettes this week for the 
   summer.
<Boy\bGeorge> My mother is going to be 
   played by Julie Walters, who I 
   love.  She is my mother.
<Moderator> 28straffer says:rnBoy do 
   you know the outside album?? If so 
   what do you think of the story?
<Boy\bGeorge> I have every Bowie 
   record, including lots of bootlegs 
   and I shall carry on buying them.
<David\bBowie> I feel very loved and 
   the sun's just come out here.
<Moderator> 28Gilly says:rndo you 
   smoke, george?
<Boy\bGeorge> yes I do smoke and so do 
   my favourite singers - Bowie and 
   Joanie Mitchell.  The only problem 
   is I have asthma.
<David\bBowie> David asks, how do you 
   feel about MP3?
<Boy\bGeorge> I don't have any problem 
   with people having access to my 
   music, even illegally, I think we 
   make so much money anyway - why 
   worry!
<Boy\bGeorge> I think people always 
   want tangible things, even if they 
   get the music on the internet, they 
   will still buy the record.
<David\bBowie> I'm completely in 
   agreement with George on this.
<RaMOANa> <Rednik> I always thought 
  you should be been reported to the 
  RSCPA for "coming" on chameleons. 
  Don't you think it is cruel? LOLOLOL
<Boy\bGeorge> For a start, I always 
   want to know what my favourite 
   stars are wearing and who did the 
   make-up.  Even when I bought 
   bootlegs I still bought the records.
<Mod2> 28Tybalt says:rnWORD up, 
   george.. especially since i've 
   ripped all of your songs off of all 
   of your albums and have distributed 
   them on the 'net ;)
<Boy\bGeorge> So it was you.
<David\bBowie> Thank you Tybalt we 
   only posed that answer to get the 
   lowdown on who is doing it LOL
<Moderator> 28Dodo says:rnHi George,you
    once referred to David Bowie as 
   "the father of rap"!!Were you 
   kidding??
<Boy\bGeorge> I always thought young 
   Americans was an early rap record.
<David\bBowie> I can't remember the 
   name of the artist but an American 
   group I think on the Quincy Jones
<David\bBowie> label will be putting 
   out their own variation on 'Young 
   Americans'.  I just
<David\bBowie> heard it today and I 
   think it's absolutely wonderful.
<Mod2> 28Bianca says:rnWhat are you 
   doing in your spare-time? Do you 
   paint like David does?
<Moderator> 28Bianca says:rnWhat are 
   you doing in your spare-time? Do 
   you paint like David does?
<Boy\bGeorge> I look forward to 
   hearing it.
<Boy\bGeorge> I was pretty good at art 
   at school, but I don't think of 
   myself as being capable anymore - 
   my art teacher tried to encourage 
   me to draw bowls of fruit, no very 
   inspiring!
<Mod2> 28Valerius says:rnBoy, I'm from 
   Minneapolis, and I'd love to hear 
   what you think of the Artist 
   Formerly Known  as Prince -- 
   pretentious, genius, bad makeup, 
   what?
<David\bBowie> As a fellow artist, my 
   initial feeling is that he has come 
   to a crossroad and probably going 
   through a time that
<David\bBowie> maybe I went through in 
   the '80's.  This is a very circumspe
   ct answer.
<David\bBowie> And is struggling to 
   find where his direction should be.
<David\bBowie> He's of such vast 
   talent that he will definitely come 
   out of this densely worrying period.
<David\bBowie> He's overall one of my 
   favorite artists of the last 20 
   years.
<Boy\bGeorge> I think Prince needs to 
   work on his sense of humour - like 
   David, I think he is immensely 
   talented and is capably of genius 
   any moment - I wait with baited 
   breath.
<RaMOANa> OY- THAT QUESTION WAS FOR 
  BOY GEORGE!
<RaMOANa> ok ...
<David\bBowie> Thank goodness the 
   answer wasn't cut down to I think 
   Prince needs to work on his sense 
   of humour like David..
<Boy\bGeorge> I didn't mean that David 
   doesn't have a sense of humour.
<RaMOANa> he's just messing with ya, 
  Boy...
<David\bBowie> Quickly moving on to 
   your spiritual beliefs
<David\bBowie> What does this give you 
   a sense of?
<Boy\bGeorge> I'm very wary of calling 
   myself spiritual, I think spirituall
   ity is a doing thing an ordinary 
   every day thing.
<Boy\bGeorge> NOT a Madonna thing.
<Mod2> 28Tura says:rnDo you still 
   believe in Krishna
<Boy\bGeorge> I was drawn to the Hari 
   Krishna sense of style, I like 
   their sense of theatre, although I 
   don't agree with all their principal
   s.
<David\bBowie> Do you think a sense of 
   theatre or ritual is necessary to 
   bolster or affirm one's beliefs or 
   knowledge, George?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think ritual is a good 
   reminder and I think it's very 
   healthy to have some kind of system 
   that makes you focus on the finer 
   things in life.
<Mod2> 28"Total Blam Blam" says:r22nNice
    frocks you mean?
<David\bBowie> Leigh and (David says):
<RaMOANa> was that the 7COLOR of the 
  frocks or the style?
<Mod2> 28Leigh says:rnGeorge isn't it 
   about time you dropped the 'Boy' 
   from your name or will you be 'boy' 
   when you're 50?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think its one of those 
   things thats going to stick.  I can 
   be "Old Boy George".
<David\bBowie> And in America, Good 
   Old Boy George
<RaMOANa> Will you change your name to 
  Man Boy (oy, Mannish Boy!  hehe)
<David\bBowie> George and I have 
   decided that as life has been so 
   good to us both,
<David\bBowie> we are partially 
   swapping names at 60.
<David\bBowie> He will become Bowie 
   George and I will become David Boy.
<Boy\bGeorge> it's a deal.
<Boy\bGeorge> I only know offensive 
   jokes.
<RaMOANa> behave, Sailor boy
<Boy\bGeorge> David, do you remember 
   Marilyn attempting to sit on your 
   lap at the Embassy club?
<David\bBowie> I remember all too well
<David\bBowie> In fact, I was also a 
   little shaken.
<Boy\bGeorge> He really embarrassed 
   us.  We were trying to be really 
   cool.
<David\bBowie> Coco remembers it very 
   clearly
<David\bBowie> In fact, we remember 
   that night because the two of you 
   made a big impression at
<David\bBowie> everyone at our table.  
   And do you remember, George, Rupert 
   Everett was there that night?
<David\bBowie> Well he definitely 
   joined us
<Boy\bGeorge> I don't remember Rupert 
   Everet being there, to be honest we 
   were too fixated on getting your 
   attention.
<Boy\bGeorge> David, do you remember 
   your visit to the Blitz Club to 
   find freaks for your video?
<David\bBowie> Yes I do I felt so 
   underdressed.
<David\bBowie> It must have been the 
   speedos  LOL
<David\bBowie> But it was summer
<Boy\bGeorge> I was very depressed 
   that Steve Strange made it into 
   your video and I didn't.
<Boy\bGeorge> My hat was obviously too 
   small.
<David\bBowie> I have to follow that 
   with, Whatever happened to Steve 
   Strange?
<Boy\bGeorge> I saw Steve in Wales 
   about six months ago, he's shacked 
   up with his mother, who's an 
   adorable woman with a fantastic 
   beehive.
<David\bBowie> Definitely what you 
   need if you're living in Wales.
<David\bBowie> Is he working there, 
   George
<Boy\bGeorge> I don't know whether 
   he's working and to be honest I'm 
   friendlier with his mother these 
   days.  I actually asked her how she 
   spawned such a monster.  Just 
   joking...
<Mod2> 28kizmee says:rnIn which video

<David\bBowie> Moderator tells me it's 
   like a nightmare airport
<David\bBowie> endlessly circling and 
   banking questions
<Boy\bGeorge> I can see lots of 
   people, how've named themselves 
   after David's songs.
<RaMOANa> yes Boy
<Mod2> 28Genoa says:rnDavid and Boy, 
   you both traverl continually. Where 
   do you feel at home?
<David\bBowie> Usually the most 
   unlikely places.  for me, Indonesia.
<Boy\bGeorge> I'm afraid, London and 
   then New York.  I like madness.  I 
   think I would go insane in Indonesia
   .
<David\bBowie> I think Indonesia would 
   give you enough madness at the 
   moment.  They're having a very 
   tough time.

   do you ever come back and visit 
   Woolwich and Bromley for old times' 
   sake?
<David\bBowie> Yes I do.  Generally 
   once a year I make a trip through 
   Brixton Lewisham, Orpington and 
   Bromley
<David\bBowie> What about you George?
<Boy\bGeorge> My mother still lives in 
   Woolwich, but it's only birthdays, 
   Christmas, weddings and furnerals - 
   I send a car for her.  The restauran
   ts are better in Hampstead.
<David\bBowie> George, do you feel 
   songwriting is a major part of who 
   you are?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think song writing is 
   like exorcism - especially when you 
   are writing about old lovers.  I 
   have been trying over the years to 
   get more happy but I'm afraid I'm a 
   melancoly merchant.
<David\bBowie> That it?  Do you feel 
   that any artist whether he be a 
   visual artist or a singer songwriter
    is
<David\bBowie> tantamount to a 
   dysfunctional personality?  That he 
   feels that more than one other 
   person
<Boy\bGeorge> Absolutely.
<David\bBowie> has to be the recipient 
   of his tantrums or delights?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think fame is all 
   about emotional needs, wanting 
   people to like and love you.
<David\bBowie> Or are we completely 
   off our branches?
<David\bBowie> James Joyce Lives
<Boy\bGeorge> In Wales with Steve 
   Strange.
<Mod2> 28Kipsy says:rnGeorge, we love 
   you...never stop singing!  :)
<Mod2> 28LiLu says:rnmy cat's name is 
   Pepper.
<Boy\bGeorge> We love you too.  I 
   won't.
<David\bBowie> My dog's got no nose
<Boy\bGeorge> My dogs are called Elvis 
   and Trojan, and I used to have one 
   called Morrissey.
<Mod2> 28Helen2 says:rnGeorge what is 
   your take on Tinky winky? is he a 
   gay icon?
<Boy\bGeorge> I certainly hope so.  
   Little children need to be enlighten
   ed at an early age.  I discovered 
   Bowie at 13 and did me the world of 
   good. My grandmother was horrified.
<Mod2> 28kizmee says:rnIs your dog a 
   Boxer?
<David\bBowie> No but he can give you 
   a nasty bite
<Boy\bGeorge> My dogs are mongrels - 
   like their owner.
<RaMOANa> on the ears?
<David\bBowie> George, do you remember 
   a song called Walking My Cat named 
   Dog?
<Boy\bGeorge> Who was it by?
<David\bBowie> Anybody out there 
   remember who sang that song?
<Mod2> 28Imi says:rnGeorge, do u have 
   any plans 4 a millenium show like 
   Mr. Jones over there?
<RaMOANa> Boy - do you think DB should 
  accept knighthood?
<Boy\bGeorge> I'm going to Maritus for 
   the millennium.  Holiday, holiday 
   holiday..
<Mod2> 28Picadilly says:rnBOY AND 
   BOWIE!! What should I wear to my 
   photoshoot today?
<David\bBowie> Well apart from asking 
   you Picadilly, what the photo 
   shoot's for.  Which would help
<David\bBowie> Boy and myself do our 
   styling chore.
<David\bBowie> You can never go wrong 
   with flaming red
<David\bBowie> George, what do you 
   think?
<RaMOANa> 4Boy - do you think DB should 
  accept knighthood?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think cullottes, 
   sling-backs and a sou'wester.  Very 
   fetching.
<Mod2> 28sQueakie says:rnGeorge - 
   BLONDES OR BRUNETTES??
<Boy\bGeorge> Either.  At this stage 
   I'm desperate.
<Moderator> 28"Total Blam Blam" says:r22
   nI think a serese winciette 
   nightie and steel toe-caps
<Mod2> 28Aki says:rnBetter movie -- 
   VELVET GOLDMINE or LIQUID SKY?????
<David\bBowie> I adored Liquid Sky.  
   Science Fiction film from I think, 
   I'd say the early '80s.  I may be 
   way off
<David\bBowie> but I don't think too 
   off.  Low budget movie, but full of 
   good ideas.
<Boy\bGeorge> I've not seen Liquid Sky 
   but it must be better than Velvet 
   Goldmine.  I'll look out for it.
<Mod2> 28Bianca says:rnWill you come 
   in more often as a chat-guest, 
   George?
<Boy\bGeorge> I'm never leaving - this 
   is my new home.
<David\bBowie> Next time we'll 
   definitely try to do it from the 
   same city the two of us.
<David\bBowie> It's quite difficult 
   doing it this way.
<David\bBowie> But it's great to have 
   George on line with us all
<Mod2> 28Rednik says:rnIf you two had 
   a paint spray can in your hands 
   what would you write on the wall?
<RaMOANa> yes, thank you George
<David\bBowie> This is not a wall
<Boy\bGeorge> No the question about 
   ventriliquests is confusing me to.  
   Is it something about a hand up a 
   man?
<Boy\bGeorge> I would write a message 
   to Tony Blair telling him to stop 
   messing with our vegetables.  We 
   can arrange our own menu thank you.
<David\bBowie> And what would that 
   message be, George.  Careful, 
   careful
<Mod2> 28Alessandra says:rnGeorge, 
   have you ever thought of having a 
   line of hats for sale?
<Boy\bGeorge> I have thought about it, 
   but where would I find the time?
<David\bBowie> These days though, 
   don't you find everything from 
   painting something to writing a song
<David\bBowie> or designing something 
   all seems to be a huge part of a 
   new profession that the lines betwee
<David\bBowie> the arts are disapeparin
   g quickly.  I found it markedly so 
   since the prominence of black
<David\bBowie> culture has changed our 
   way of thinking about expression.  
   That the
<David\bBowie> emphasis on improvisatio
   n is not only turned all the arts 
   on their heads,
<David\bBowie> but is learning how to 
   combine one art form with another.
<David\bBowie> I was lucky enough to 
   have a great conversation about 
   this a little while ago
<David\bBowie> with a writer I 
   respect, Greg Tate.
<David\bBowie> Who clued me into so 
   much about how he feels culture has 
   been effected over the last fifteen 
   years especially.
<David\bBowie> By this mere act of 
   improvisation.
<David\bBowie> What do you think 
   anyone?
<RaMOANa> just give us our forms of 
  escapism and we will be happy
<Boy\bGeorge> I agree, I think it's 
   great to be able to do a multitude 
   of things, although people resent 
   you.  Like for instance being a DJ 
   - but I enjoy the variety and it 
   keeps me sane.
<Mod2> 28JanGenie says:rnDo you read 
   any Neil Gaiman? If not,  you 
   should.
<David\bBowie> Love Neil Gaiman. Think 
   his work is fabulous
<Mod2> 28Valerius says:rnI think it's 
   a reflection of all culture.....if 
   you get an office job you have to 
   be computer installer, typist, 
   writer, proofreader, artist, 
   scanner, and print specialist
<Boy\bGeorge> I think one should never 
   become their job.
<RaMOANa> yeah and with that - the 
  level of service has gone to crap in 
  nearly every industry
<Mod2> 28Emilio says:rnWill Helen 
   Terry be involved in the new 
   Culture Club?
<Boy\bGeorge> Unfortunately Helen and 
   I are no longer speaking, so "No".
<David\bBowie> Which says alot about 
   us as communicators
<RaMOANa> haha
<Boy\bGeorge> I was going to say, "You 
   can't make people love you".  Think 
   of Jane County - I've read the book 
   and it's hilariously fictional.
<Mod2> 28Bianca says:rnWhat do you 
   think of this new way of online-comm
   unity, David and George? I find it 
   just amazing and brings really the 
   work of artists nearer to someone! 
   Are you also planning an internet-pr
   ovider with Culture Club, George?
<David\bBowie> I totally awestruck by 
   its possibilities and its potential.
     The most exciting part is really 
   not having a clear idea of where 
   it's going.
<David\bBowie> It just seems so full 
   of promise.
<David\bBowie> George?
<Boy\bGeorge> I agree, but I'm worried 
   that people won't leave the house.
<David\bBowie> Do you mean your house?
<Boy\bGeorge> No necessarily, but very 
   soon I imagine everyone will be 
   working from home and I'm worried 
   about the effect on communication 
   from a personal perspective.
<Mod2> 28Leigh says:rnSo George - are 
   you an EastEnders fan like David? 
   Isn't it weird that Martin Kemp's 
   in it now?
<David\bBowie> I think it's great that 
   Martin's got a place on a well 
   written TV show.  I always thought 
   he was a good actor.
<Boy\bGeorge> Are you being sarcastic?
<David\bBowie> No I'm not being 
   scarcastic  I genuinely think he 's 
   a good actor
<David\bBowie> I hear he's a murderer 
   on the new show although I haven't 
   seen his episodes.
<Boy\bGeorge> I think East Enders is 
   the most miserable programme on TV.
<David\bBowie> Rubbish
<Boy\bGeorge> I'm sure people in the 
   east-end are happy some of the time.
<Mod2> 28"Total Blam Blam" says:r22nfigh
   t
<Boy\bGeorge> You are encoragable Blam 
   Blam.
<Moderator> 28Rednik says:rnHere I'll 
   hold your handbags!
<David\bBowie> I've just been told the 
   storyline.  I leave it to Leigh to 
   answer it
<Mod2> 28Leigh says:rnDavid, Martin 
   Kemp killed his ex with an ashtray
<Mod2> 28Dodo says:rnBoy what do you 
   think of the Prodigy?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think the Prodigy are 
   excellent.  I'm quite good friends 
   with Keith.
<David\bBowie> Are they staying 
   together George or are they going 
   to pursue solo work?
<Boy\bGeorge> I think Liam wants to 
   get more song orientated and is 
   going to start working with other 
   vocalists, I'm available.  I think 
   a collaboration between David and 
   the Prodigy would be exciting.
<David\bBowie> Are you a boxing fan, 
   George?
<Boy\bGeorge> Not really.
<David\bBowie> So you won't be 
   watching the Lennox fight then.
<Boy\bGeorge> My dad was a boxing 
   trainer and we had it forced on us 
   through childhood, as you can see I 
   resisted rather skilfully.
<Boy\bGeorge> My brother was a 
   professional boxer for a time.
<David\bBowie> But I bet you can still 
   deliver a pretty lethal haymaker if 
   pushed.
<Boy\bGeorge> When I drink, certainly 
   - I become very Woolwich and that 
   scares me.
<Moderator> 28Valerius says:rnBoy, 
   what do you think of Annie Lennox?  
   Does it bother you that she seems 
   like more of a man than you are?  
   LOL
<Boy\bGeorge> I think Annie Lennox is 
   extremely feminine.
<Moderator> 28Alessandra says:rnWho is 
   Anne Lennox fighting?
<Boy\bGeorge> If she's fighting 
   anyone, it's probably Dave (Stewart)
   .
<David\bBowie> Last five questions 
   folks.  Open house
<Moderator> 28Bianca says:rnWhat do 
   you think of Drum and Bass? Would 
   you also consider this as style of 
   music that you will try with 
   Culture Club?
<Boy\bGeorge> David, do you know about 
   the Ziggy concert at the ICA?  I 
   was there and it was fantastically 
   camp.  The singer had all the 
   costumes down to perfection.
<David\bBowie> Yes I heard about it.  
   I wasn't there.  Was that weird or 
   what?  I saw the cosumes they sent
<David\bBowie> along to me to autograph
    for them.
<Boy\bGeorge> There were lots of old 
   Bowie fans - moaning, but I thought 
   it was extremelly good fun.
<David\bBowie> I thought it an 
   incredibly bright idea.
<Mod2> 28Nadsat says:rnWho are your 
   favorite movie directors?  Kubrick, 
   Lynch, Gilliam???
<David\bBowie> George go for one...
<Boy\bGeorge> Hitchcock.
<David\bBowie> Early Lynch, early 
   Kubrick
<Moderator> 28Picadilly says:rnNO 
   CHARLIE CHAPLIN!?!?!?
<Mod2> 28Gilly says:rngeorge and 
   david: did you meet stevie wonder?
<David\bBowie> Did you see him the 
   other night?  Did you get to meet 
   him, George?
<Boy\bGeorge> I met Stevie Wonder back 
   in the 80's and he grabbed me by 
   the throat, I'm convinced he can 
   see, his aim was too perfect.  I 
   was trying to get out of doing a 
   certain song with him because I 
   couldn't get the notes and he said 
   "you're holding sheet music in your 
   hand" - he can see alright.
<RaMOANa> lol
<David\bBowie> I found myself in the 
   most impossible situation at dinner 
   with Stevie on one side
<David\bBowie> and Andy WIlliams on 
   the other.
<David\bBowie> It was the most 
   confusing dinner I'd ever been to..
<Boy\bGeorge> Was Andy Williams 
   wearing one of his nice jumpers?
<David\bBowie> Andy Williams was 
   indeed wearing one of his nice 
   jumpers
<David\bBowie> But more about that 
   another time
<Moderator> 28malford says:rnGeorge, 
   are you going to release your live 
   version of "Starman"?  Also, to 
   David, how about incorporating 
   "Over The Rainbow" into Starman for 
   the Ziggy 2000 release?  :)
<Boy\bGeorge> Yes, Culture Club will 
   be recording a version of Starman, 
   I hope David likes it.
<David\bBowie> I love it already
<Boy\bGeorge> David, is it true Pete 
   Burns asked if he could rewrite the 
   lyrcis to Rebel Rebel, and you said 
   you'd rather he didn't record it.
<Boy\bGeorge> Dead or alive.
<David\bBowie> I better get this 
   right.  Pete Burns is the guy in 
   Dead or Alive.  Right, I know
<David\bBowie> who you are talking 
   about.  And yes, that is true.
<Boy\bGeorge> I love it when gossip 
   comes true.
<Boy\bGeorge> Was there any particular 
   reason?  Pete Burns is quite an 
   interesting character in the grand 
   scheme of freaks.
<David\bBowie> I think we're on to our 
   last question now.
<Moderator> 28"Total Blam Blam" says:r22
   nGeorge my mother made me a 
   homosexual........
<Boy\bGeorge> What were the ingredients
    and did it rise in the oven?
<David\bBowie> So last question from 
   me, George,  What are your plans 
   for the rest of the year, in brief.
<Boy\bGeorge> Recording with Culture 
   Club, bit of DJ'inig and a lot of 
   holidays.
<David\bBowie> But none in Indonesia I 
   presume
<Boy\bGeorge> On your recommendation I 
   may go to Indonesia - shall I tell 
   them you sent me?
<David\bBowie> I'd like to thank 
   everybody for coming on line and 
   I'd like to thank Boy George 
   especially for being our guest this 
   week
<David\bBowie> and next time we'll try 
   to do this in London.
<Boy\bGeorge> David, I'm just a space 
   cadet and you're the commandor.
<David\bBowie> That's it folks.  Thank 
   you.
<RaMOANa> thank you george...party on
