Boy George & Mum Interview , Part 1, 21 July 2007,

[@txdrmr]

Wow, I've always respected Boy George as an artist and musician....not to mention what he did for music in the 80's but after watching this...I have HUGE respect for the man!!! When he came on the scene, I think everyone was shocked because we'd never seen anything like him.. His contribution and the members Culture Club cannot be understated!!!

[@rebeccascott8404]

I also respect and love him because he is such a wonderful person.

[@silvercat9155]

How compassionate and wise George is about his father and the situation they grew up in, it was a sad, difficult and complex situation and George is very compassionate and honest about it, whilst acknowledging he was violent to their mother. What a good man in George and a wonderful survivor in Dinah.

[@lorireece1970]

What a sweet mother and son! You can tell they love each other!

I am disabled and i listen to ur music many hours every day. Love ur new music. Love the song life.

[@ianaustin5541]

Love Love Love!!!! I`m deeply humbled by Boy George and his beautiful mother. I`ve spent quite some time, liking as much of the comments here as possible. Forgive me folks and know, in my heart you all have my likes. Experiencing all the nice thoughts you have about him and his mother and your appreciation lights up my life and touches me deeply. Despite the struggles he went through, he made it to become a grounded beautiful person touching our hearts on top of his great songs. Maybe it`s just me, but whatever interview of him I watch, I feel so much joy reading the comments, not a single one negative or mean. God bless him and all of you out there. Know that you are beautiful, beautiful as Boy George and his mother.

I’m a Boy George fan! 2020

[@lessismore8533]

Yah esp intelligence!

[@rebeccascott8404]

Agree. I always figured he must of had a very sweet, intelligent, funny, understanding mother. This confirms it. Boy George is so comfortable in his own skin, I knew he had to have a wonderful upbringing.

[@kimmieporter4101]

I will love to read her book! She sounds like a very strong and interesting woman!

[@raymondsolisjr.1262]

Boy George needs his own talk show.

[@thenightporter]

Lol he'd do all the talking. I love him!

[@user-Tn2Dn]

Maybe it could be one of those commentator shows were they watch videos and make jokes about it. He would be so good at that.

[@irshgrl500]

I believe he had his own show or podcast, at one time.

Your Mum is so lovely she’s the star 🌟 she Is a amazing 🌸she is a wonderful STRONG woman as woman do (as we do )........ 🌸🌸🌸

[@freshliving4199]

No such thing as a strong woman. It’s the men that are so weak that make the woman look strong.

[@dogsenseforu301]

Wish I was half as strong as her!

[@klattalexis]

George obviously got his insights in life, from his mom. I knew he was always ahead of his time into deep thinking, from his song lyrics, but I did not know where his insight came from.

[@lessismore8533]

Mommy raises him well

[@metsot]

Interesting comment.

[@JamieBreez]

I'm not coming to Luah. So have fun. I will be here.

[@val13c59]

His father sounds like millions of other fathers including mine. My father treated mom and my siblings bad. But we still loved him, and he had plenty of friends that loved him.

[@rapunzelmane9592]

His father is a classic covert malignant narcissist. Charismatic, and smarmy to everyone publicly in order to create their false persona, but abusive at home. Decorating other peoples homes, but neglecting to decorate his own.

[@cheechalker8430]

Very sweet - the two of them I love George more today than back in the heyday I love how down to earth and smart she is And I love how George defended his father - shows maturity and forgiveness

[@andreak8384]

Dwelling on the past.George and Mum still successful and Boy George rockstar.

She's down to earth, I love it,and I bet George looks after her 😊

Boy George's Ma represents the BEStT of strong working women.

That's what I say my father was my mom's 4th child and abusive

She sounds a lot more Irish,in this interview,than in the 1985 one.She sounded really London,in that one.

[@kylehancock1458]

The blackface at 3:20 shocked me. This might have passed in the 1980s, but it is considered horribly offensive nowadays (2022). I checked the current official video of "Karma Karma Chameleon". There is no blackface shown in the current official music video. The video states it is set in Mississippi in the 1870s. The action is set by a river and on a riverboat. Presumably the original video had blackface as shown here at 3:20, and presumably the music video has been edited to remove the offensive and problematic scene. Even though blackface was regularly used in the 1870s, nobody in mainstream media these days really wants to re-enact it, re-broadcast it or re-publish it.

This interviewer is terrible

[@theresad.childs8115]

She was very dismissive about his success, I didn't hear her say she was proud of him, then she talks about herself and how she does not like famous people. He probably succeeded inspire of his parents.

[@Nushka23]

In spite* completely agree

[@animalrevenge1058]

Handsome??? Definitely not… that poor woman, a strong woman.
