Jon Moss interview - Culture Club / Boy George drummer (1985, Israeli TV)

[@sgd.6830]

I had no idea that Jon Moss had so much experience, before Culture Club. This is the first time, I have seen and heard, Jon Moss speak so much. I absolutely loved this interview and forgot how handsome Jon was ❤

[@BethCollier31]

Look on KZbin for the 2010 made for British TV 90 minute movie, "Worried about the Boy"

[@Itsliz1984]

I know him quite well, he's a really lovely guy, so genuine!!!

[@gippygirl7]

Liz Ward Ohh very jealous of you right now for knowing Jon, he does come across as such a lovely, genuine man. I love this man, he is absolutely beautiful.

[@DonRosa949]

Hermoso tambien.

[@ChefRonnieBoy]

What a beautiful man!

[@HORSESWELUV]

Can you see how young is Jon and how deep his musical knowledge is? Absolutely stunning . and he is ineed a doll

[@helenmarysouthall]

George and Jon were an incredible couple and it’s a shame they couldn’t share their strength, support and dynamism with the world at the time.

[@johnmcquilkin]

This was one of the most candid interviews I have ever seen of Jon Moss. He is very well spoken.

[@johncb1963]

My God he was gorgeous .No WONDER Boy couldn't let him go .

[@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496]

Neither could all the women he dated. He's still good friends with his ex-wife, which is a Good thing since they have 3 Kids together.

[@redrumax]

a dwarf

[@rayarena879]

He's a "dwarf" but a gorgeous "dwarf." What a handsome man! [besides, you dont know what he's packing! LOL]

[@ChefRonnieBoy]

Yeah, he was adorable.

[@bloxxparadox]

@@redrumax he looks about 5'8" - shorter than average, but certainly not a dwarf

[@haruka2506]

Jon Moss was handsome..

[@wahyunisetyowati4863]

Very handsome not only handsome. . . .and a sexiest boy I think. . . .

[@gippygirl7]

I was very young when CC was at the height of their fame so I didn't know of Jon Moss until recently when I watched an old CC video. My heart literally skipped when I saw him & I had to find out who he is. He has to be one of the most beautifullest men I have ever seen. Now totally obsessing over him right now, I can't get enough of him. He was absolutely stunning and appears to have a lovely personality too. Total gorgeousness!!

[@GARose-kt4jc]

I REMEMBER him, he was SO hot, he had black hair with light eyes! When I found out earlier this year (Jan 2023) that George had pushed him OUT of the band, I was bothered and messaged all 4 of them. Except for Jon, my messages went unread. Jon responded in about a day and a half and even FOLLOWED ME on Instagram for awhile! (I was SO surprised!) What a sweetheart! ❤❤❤

[@MsEvie15]

@@GARose-kt4jcDid he say why B George kicked him out? John does seem like a very nice man.

[@BethCollier31]

Well they had been lovers years ago. It's a dynamic thst caused a lot of pain. ​@MsEvie15

[@watchman1178]

Terrific interview. Both Jon and George were very intelligent and articulate. Perhaps one of the smartest bands in Rock and Roll.

[@robertarthur3889]

Jon and George are lucky that their paths had crossed. Brilliant interview, ty for posting.

[@Bellasie1]

Wow. Culture Club were my favorite band as a teenager, and I am proud of my choice as an adult. What an incredible diversity of huge talents. They were/are one of a kind.

[@roch202020]

I am very impressed by the quality, friendliness and interesting stories, all expressed and experienced by Jon Moss, I loved this interview!

[@plumeria66]

What a beautiful boy.

[@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496]

OMG, that Jon Moss was Beyond Gorgeous! A very articulate, charismatic and intelligent gentleman. I've always heard that he's a Genuinely very nice Guy. His Son is handsome but nothing like Jon was.

[@applemint96]

Wow...not only is he hot, but he's also such an interesting person! No wonder Boy George and he fell for each other. Both of them are just so interesting.

[@jinnylee9020]

yah

[@jinnylee9020]

[@jinnylee9020]

oh yessssss

[@shellyannmillercolmus4347]

Really smart person

[@deep71483]

Jon Moss was a very handsome man. He is still cute to this day. He seems very witty and intelligent. I love him. Cool guy. I've always had a crush on him.

[@lilydoll63]

What a handsomeeeeeeeeee man!! then and now he is absolutely adorable.

[@giri.goyo_yt]

BRILLIANT INTERVIEW. I wish I had seen this years ago. It really enforces my ideas of true pop and integrity not politics nor the groups that pose and support a notion that they are conscious or woke. Let the purity of pop speak. Like everyone comments: no wonder George was head over heels with Jonny.

[@Jene51]

This is a fantastic interview! I didn't know it even existed and stumbled upon it by accident, and am so glad that I did. Wonderful and intellegent interview. Jon should have done more interviews instead of all of them being done by George, then perhaps the press wouldn't have had such a "Boy George over-load" , which eventually hurt the band.

[@scotnick59]

Jon DID look like a young Tony Curtis, right enough: he's cool!

[@Kathy_Wray88]

I know, I thought he might be related to Tony Curtis in some way.

[@brookegoslin]

Yes he does look like Tony Cutis I thought too !

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

Shell Oil Junior?

[@Eliya1995]

I just love Jon Moss! he's amazing... great guy. and he had a good influence on George when they were together, I think!

[@leshathornton8934]

This is a really good interview. Jon seems so down to earth and genuine. I see this in George in his younger years. I believe they were in love. Neither one used the other. George grew up in a toxic household in which he saw his mother loving a man for over 50 years I believe who best her down both physically and emotionally. George will self sabotage any relationship he is in unfortunately. Doesn't make him the bad guy. I love both of these fellas and hope they have some fond and happy memories from the past. Life goes on..........

[@maryannblackford5156]

George adored this handsome man... He punishes him to cover up the hurt and demise of there lost love... Cuts deep😢

[@angelicacruzcampos1796]

Este hombre era guapísimo, me encantaba, bueno me sigue encantando

[@gailreed4597]

This is the BEST! Almost ALL Culture Club interviews become Boy George interviews! The press persistently hovered over Boy George like he was "the freak of the week". As a result, the public never got to know the other band members, and some of us WANTED to!

[@lilachloughead]

I used to have that interview on video cassette, recorded it from the TV.... so nice to see it here again after so many years

[@2009fastlove]

I love the way he speaks.I understood everything =)

[@ToeIn2194]

really good to see this interview.

[@garrymac6928]

swoon. still in love with Jon xxx

[@AnastasioSomoza]

A very intelligent gentleman. Not to mention a crafted drummer.

[@meamused]

Jon was so cute and handsome, I fully understand George *_*

[@deep71483]

Jon is gorgeous.

[@rita5531]

he was my eye candy when i was in senior high

[@ashe984]

OMG he so handsome here

[@ICRA95]

Very charming!

[@PeppaLabeija]

I agree that Jon should've done more interviews. He' really great here and gets his point and I actually agree with a lot of what he said. I was sort of shocked by his honesty. I think George (back then, not now) would've been a bit defensive about the questions about the Waking Up... LP. I miss the sincerity of the 80s.

[@shanitrahan9904]

How many interviews jon moss did without culture club?

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

Jon was generally forbidden to do interviews alone...

[@MsEvie15]

BG did talk about the third album and felt like it wasn’t as good as the first two.

[@boyrick84]

i love jon moss!!!!!!xxxxx

[@Nightbird.]

Jon was the sexiest man in music in the 80's...and he still looks great now. Who can blame George for falling in love with him? =)

[@shanitrahan9904]

I don't blame George for falling in love with Jon moss I really don't

[@pablitomonkiroman]

HE IS AMAZING ..

[@fiona333]

Great interview. Thanks so much!

[@oblivion3176]

he was so handsome

[@itsrro]

yeah! i born in 1998 and i remember when i was like 10 or 11 y/o and i had a BIG crush on him 😭 when my parents put the music videos of culture club in the tv

[@chriscastellon6970]

The transparency of this if fantastic, great interview.

[@TheBoyCub]

I like Jon Moss, he was a cool guy and a great part of Culture Club. Too much is put on his private life with George and it's no-ones business what fallouts they had, they made sublime music together. Culture Club were brilliant, I can't wait for the new 20012 album.....it's going to be brilliant.

[@EthanJohn1986]

Great interview!!

[@gabrielasantos9898]

Culture club was composed of solid and clever kids, it is sad they ended up as they did

[@johnwihebrink4017]

I'm glad the interviewer sticks up for Waking Up because it is Culture Club's best record overall.

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

I am glad the interviewer stuck up for Waking Up With The House On Fire as well. My all time most loved and for me most GENIUS Culture Club album will ALWAYS be Kissing To be Clever + Though Colour By Numbers is their most tight album, for me it almost loses the sense of what Culture Club were. It lacks culture in a way for me and it's too clean and too pristine. Waking Up With The House On Fire retained the EDGE Kissing To Be Clever had. it was more dangerous and more true to what the band organics were. I think hello goodbye should have been a single instead of The Medal Song however. And though I love the album more than COlour By Numbers, I do think tracks like Crime Time and Mannequin were a tad weak. Don't Go Down That Street should have replaced one of them tracks instead of being a B-Side.

[@MsEvie15]

I think my favorite was the first album, Kissing to be clever. I think they should’ve released, “Black money”. That might be on the 2nd album Colors by numbers.

[@dlsfield9770]

I just saw culture club this August. First time ever seeing them. I never thought I would see them all together. Many more on the stage now.

[@gailreed4597]

Was it August , 2018? If so, you them as the "original" group for the LAST time ever! They will NEVER be a foursome again.🙁🙁🙁

[@jedward16101991]

[@spiritofshiloh]

Damn he is a doll :)

[@chriswest8389]

He was with the Clash! Even post Mick Jones? Heavey

[@juancamex]

No wonder George fell sooooooooo in love with him...

[@Eirene30]

He's fucking GORGEOUS!!💎🔝

[@gracielavillatoro4914]

Nadie como boy George!!! El es precioso y nadie le llega ni le llegará 💞💗😘🥰😍❤️💕💋💓

[@ilariabarbieri6773]

I didn't watch the whole video, I stumbled in it and I was curious to hear how his voice sounded like. Very interesting to know his opinion about The Clash. Thanks a lot for posting!!

[@cooprocksalittle]

Third album is my favourite album.

[@CarlosQuesadaR]

First time I managed to understand him, nice and slow

[@MegaPW1]

Very nice interview. :)

[@kathleenflood3543]

I always thought Jon Moss was so gorgeous.

[@kathleenflood3543]

Me too

[@MsSmartiepants2]

George also benefitted careerwise from their relationship. Jon had more experience in the music business when they met. If George had never met Jon, I doubt George would ever have become the star, legend and icon he is.

[@Rossb69]

I need him and he needs me

Good looking guy jon moss

[@JCesar-xf2bk]

After less than a year, WUWTHOF sold 7 million copies and it was considered a failure... Nowadays, if you sell 120 thousand, you're considered a star.... How things change...

[@Tomilovecats]

Handsome

[@MattAttack54]

John Moss was a great Punk Drummer London was a good band

[@promiseland6285]

I am listening now 2018！

[@peiboy]

I think he looks a bit like Morten Harkett of (A-HA), and Marian Gold (Alphaville)

[@sfikaharket6427]

Yeeeah

[@pitochupon]

it is good heart the true from him.

[@flormartinez3961]

Que hombre tan guapo 🤗💖

[@user-vf4pb9dt1r]

I used to have a big crush on him in my teen years.

[@crystalblur3]

Fuck man john played with almost every kick ass punk band from England during that time before culture club!!! The Clash, The Dammed, Adam and The Ants??!!!

[@MsSmartiepants2]

Yes and I've got bad news for the Jon Moss haters. His son wants to play the drums too! So there's a Jon Moss mini-me out there! Sort of like Madonna and Lourdes. How cute and adorable is that!

[@luvndaoldskool]

damn how gorgeous is he??and so freaking sweet wow you missed out george too bad it didnt work out

[@marialuizasantosdaconceica3467]

Você é um ótimo baterista,

[@verasouza2399]

TEM DE TRADUZIR O VIDEO. TRADUZIR.

[@deborahscofield6738]

The fact Jon was straigt again wasn't helping George. There was a lot of blame to go around. I liked some of the interview, shedding g light on the beginning of the band and Jon's influence of it.

[@davestuddaman8127]

It cause George looked so much like a girl 😂

[@mniambrum]

nice and good speaker, great English! Intelligent person:)

[@MsSmartiepants2]

@gabsylv Also, George's first relationship wasn't with Jon. He was with Kirk Brandon before Jon. Why don't people blame Kurt instead of Jon, since Kirk denies they ever had a relationship to this day?

[@IvoaBettencourt]

Tony Curtis , Alain Delon, James Dean and Rock Hudsons’ features mixed in one face.

[@tjbedista]

what's with the low voice in 0:10?? LOL! great interview though.

[@rongniadek1691]

Yes he did look like Tony Curtis

[@JANXDPDX]

very, very interesting interview. culture club's third album is great. so is Seven and The Ragged Tiger......retrospect is strange

[@happykatau]

There will always be a wide range of tastes :)

[@garrchristopher3950]

Yes a wide range of taste and too many opinions.

[@fitri1026]

I’m not from the UK but does anyone know whether Jon Moss speaks with a posh accent? I know he grew up with wealth and his accent does sound quite posh to me.

[@sarahwestwood6665]

He's very upper middle class - not aristocratic but clearly privately educated

[@rbeygarcia]

07:50 Blasphemer!!! Seven and the Ragged Tiger was Duran Duran's only album to not only chart number one, but also go IN at number one in so many countries, including the US. This is where New Moon on Monday, The Reflex, Is there Something I Should Know came from.

[@meganhussey972]

And Union of the Snake! It was a great album.

[@stefanrichard4986]

Just because it was successful doesn't mean it was great.

[@ceceliasancez9609]

Es judio por eso es muy educado y inteligente

[@MsSmartiepants2]

For some reason, you tube won't let me put links on here. But if you to the Boy George Official fan page, the person who made the page posted a link.

[@crystalblur3]

i think the fact that john is Jewish was exactly why they were so popular in Tel Aviv.

[@lacennapassidean943]

There are three types of people in this world: The ones who love Culture Club And the ones who love The Clash Finally, there is me, who adores Culture Club and The Clash. In which are completely different lol.

[@edwardbliss8931]

No one mentions on how deep Jon's voice gets here 0:09?

[@simmonssimmons4494]

Lol 😂😆

[@MsSmartiepants2]

So basically whatever Jon says or does he is always the bad guy. He has to pay for the rest of his life for the mistakes he made when he was 25. No wonder George can't find another guy. No one wants to be crucified and punished for the rest of their life like Jon has been by the Boy George fans.

[@GraceMcKagan]

@flamingfairyfrog I KNOW RIGHT! He has always said that Jon was an addiction, many many times. Now he says that they have a healthy relationship and they're just friend, and he also said that he don't know if it was love between them but, if it's anything but love, could it inspired such beautiful love song they wrote? I don't thing so. And George wrote song about Jon many many years after they broke up, even after he broke up with Micheal. The relationship like that wouldn't go away easily rite

[@hollyjolly2066]

George wrote songs about Jon many years after they broke up? I didn't know that - wow! I'd love to know which ones!

[@typblack1]

You're kidding me right??? Seven is a great album. Cracks in the pavement is an awesome tune.

[@dlsfield9770]

I Think Jon wasn't telling the whole story. Jon played a part!.

[@shanitrahan9904]

About what?

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Yeah compared to the previous two Duran Duran albums, The Ragged album isn't really that' great but I do like listening to it still. Not saying you must compare to other music but compared to what music that has been on the radio the past 30 years I think it's really good. I like Jon's honesty about how he feels that The Ragged album is horrible. Wonder if Duran back then ever heard of his opinion on the album. Even if they heard they probably wouldn't care what a member of Culture Club would say.

[@MsSmartiepants2]

@begothic2 If you like Jon you should check out this new facebook page devoted to him. It has lovely pictures and some really great interviews with him including one from absolute radio recently. Jon makes me laugh so much. Actually he's a lot more witty and clever than George. Mostly now George just uses profanity.

[@tyamada21]

Isn't Boy G a Buddhist like Tina Turner?
