While the big brains ponder questions like how to find peace in Gaza, how to fix the economic crisis and how to cure multiple diseases..... I will forever be fixated on the following.....
Why did George Michael find it necessary to record 2 songs called Freedom?
Granted one is Freedom and one is Freedom '90. In fairness..... the original is actually a WHAM! song.
According to wikipedia...."Freedom '90" (also known simply as "Freedom") is a song written and performed by George Michael, and released on Columbia Records in 1990. The "'90" added to the end of the title is to prevent confusion with an international hit by Michael's former band, Wham!, also titled "Freedom".
But really George Michael? Really? You couldn't come up with a better name for Freedom '90????
And while Freedom by Wham! is far superior and reaches into my high school heart.... the real genius of WHAM! is of course I'm Your Man and I would be COMPLETELY REMISS if I did not give a shout out to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.
And to me, the greatest George Michael song is this one. Followed by One More Try which causes me to immediately dissolve into Jake Ryan loving tears.....
