I Also Tried To Avoid Doing Obvious

I Was Really Good Friends With Matthew Ashman, The Guitarist In Bow Wow Wow. He Died, Unfortunately. He Was One Of My Best Friends During My Sort Of Punk Period.

We Changed The Name From Sex Gang Children To Culture Club Because Jon Moss, Our Drummer, Went To L.a. On Holiday And Took Some Demo Tapes With Him. -everyone Loved The Music But Nobody Liked The Name. I -remember Getting A Postcard From Jon From L.a. Saying, "i Don't Think America's Ready For The Sex Gang Children."

A Lot Of People Felt I Was Getting Work Because I Was Boy George. My Response At The Time Was That There's A Lot Of Djs Making Records, They're Not All Making Good Records, But They Have The Right To Do That.

I Was Unwelcome In The U.s. For Four Years.

The Taboo Crowd Was Certainly Less Precious. They Were Happy To End Up In A Pile Of Vomit And Booze At The End Of The Night. It Was Antifashion, In A Sense. They Were Just As Obsessive As The New -romantics But They Acted Like They Didn't Care.
