TRIBES: A TOUR DE FORCE

picture it...the year 1982
for the price of a martini today...you could've filled yer Renault Fuego Turbo full of gas 
the 'baadshah of bollywood" Shah Rukh Khan may have made history with over 9 million twatters follow'n him on twitter today...but in '82...someone made history with over 9 million benjamins from an armored truck in the BIG APPLE 
Siri may be yer best friend when gett'n ya outta a sticky situation these days...but she wouldn't be here if it wasn't fer her grand papi K.I.T back in '82
though this performer delusionally narcissistic merlot love'n florist...die'n fer a permanent spot on Dr. Phil and poster child fer ENEMA'S-R-US...has cornered the market on alienate'n those around her these days...this alien owned the movie market with millions of fans fall'n in love with them without have'n to barely say a word in '82
and though this quartet might be kick A double snakes on the charts now...this quartet conquered the world by storm in 1982
release's their 1st 3 singles to the world that year...with it's 3rd single reach'n #1 around the globe

appearing on England's Top of the Pops that same year...

smother'n the covers of every magazine in print...and...
kick A double snakes all over America

release'n 3 more albums that have stood the test of time...

with a string of smash hits that defined the 80's sound...like:






by the end of the 80's...BOY GEORGE decided to change up his style... 
and go it alone thru-out the 90's


but before the millennium could end...CULTURE CLUB would reunite...
once again with "DON'T MIND IF I DO"...prove'n they still hadn't had enough of each other

"YOUR KISSES ARE CHARITY"

CULTURE CLUB reunited fer their 20th anniversary show

then once again...BOY would go back out on his own....
release'n an array of eclectic  sounds from his enormous musical catalog

include'n find'n enough time to write a brilliant score and star in the phenomenal musical TABOO in London's West End and on Broadway...about the decadence of his rise to fame in the 80's

on top of ALL that BOY has accomplished in his career...he still has time...
to do what he loves doin since it all began as one of the world's most sought after DJ's

but finally after over 30 long years entertain'n the masses on their asses...
it's a miracle all the original boy's have stuck together and have managed to stand the test of time...give'n their dedicated stalkers fans exactly what they're crave'n for once more
