AM I the only one who feels stupid that I kinda fell for that boy george song along with "Do you really want to hurt me"? It was a while back and I'm showing my age but at the time I was kinda grooving to those 2 songs. Never would bring it up unless I was posting on a comedy site but I still feel shame. Hey but then again I know what good songs are and they were pretty good (I play and write songs) but with how he turned out I can't help but feeling a little funky....

tis2flyyy,
Oh ya. Heroin city. There's this unbelievable film of him meeting Sting for the first time back stage where Boy George is obviously loaded and Sting is not amused as he listens patiently to Boy George. Sting was looking off, blowing hard and genuinely looking pissed at the ramblings...

deepseas,

wow. I didn't know the extent of the drug problem. and right now he's working out the sentencing terms for a recent conviction in NYC. he doesn't want to do community service (pick up trash), but wants to do a concert instead.

but hey when picking up trash, I bet he won't find his music tossed out. it's still the bomb, and I still play the greatest hits CD regularly.

hope he gets together one day. otherwise him and DMX will be cellmates one day. 8-O

deepseas,

yup, it's sad, but hey, he's being given another chance. just really weird seeing him now on news coming out of local court. like 2 different people. 8-o

now what's interesting is by the grace of god, DMX isn't in prison. in last couple of years one dumb arrest after another (driving under influence, driving w/suspended license, impersonating officer at airport, hit and run). Boy George and DMX could have been Riker's roommates by now if not for chances given.

and now rapper Foxxy Brown is running into dumb trouble, but luckily a new case against her was thrown out (harassing her employee)

Singer Boy George won't go back to jail after violating probation on drug charge

NEW YORK (AP) - Boy George won't be going back to jail after all. A judge on Monday vacated a warrant for Boy George's arrest and told the former Culture Club singer he will let him complete a nonjail sentence stemming from his arrest for cocaine possession.

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Anthony Ferrara scolded the defendant, whose real name is George O'Dowd, for not complying with the terms of his sentence and warned, "I'm not going to give you another chance."

In March, O'Dowd, 45, pleaded guilty to third-degree false reporting of an incident. The charge followed his false report of a burglary at his Lower Manhattan apartment where police found cocaine.

Under his plea deal, O'Dowd was to enter a drug program in England and do five days of community service in Manhattan. He was also supposed to pay a $1,000 fine and a $160 surcharge, and avoid arrest for any reason during the next six months.

But the singer didn't do the community service.

"You have to do the community service," Ferrara told O'Dowd. "It's up to you whether you make it an exercise in humiliation or in humility."

"If you don't do the community service, I'll make you a promise: You're going through that door," Ferrara said, pointing toward the entrance to the jail cells.

The judge gave O'Dowd until Aug. 28 to complete the community service.

O'Dowd left the courtroom and immediately went to the probation offices to get his community service assignment. "I never minding doing the community service," he said as he walked down the hall to the office.

Defense lawyer Louis Freeman said Ferrara's annoyance was "based on a misunderstanding," that O'Dowd was trying to avoid complying with the sentence.

Freeman said the singer always intended to comply with all the terms of his conditional discharge, but he had proposed working with an HIV/AIDS charity while taking part in an outpatient drug-treatment program for himself.

O'Dowd's drug woes reportedly led to the collapse of Culture Club, which scored the hit 1980s singles "Karma Chameleon" and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?"

Ferrara rejected and ridiculed O'Dowd's HIV/AIDS proposal.

"He'll probably be raking leaves in Central Park, or something like that," Freeman said of O'Dowd, who was referred to the Sanitation Department for possible assignment.

Freeman said his client was hoping to do the community service on five consecutive days so that he could make scheduled appearances in Europe. "He's already been threatened with lawsuits if he doesn't show," Freeman said.

When O'Dowd left the community service assignment office, he quipped, "I'm going to be teaching basketball in Harlem."

deepseas,

wait, maybe jail w/DMX might not be a bad thing afterall. a whole new music generation could start.

or at least remix a couple of songs together:

Boy George: do you really want to hurt me

DMX: YES. D-M-X. what yall niggas want. suck-my-d**k. D-M-X what yall niggas need

:lol: shit, that's a grammy right there
