ROOTS with ROBB: Wham! & George Michael

By Billy Thompson Apr 23, 2020 | 12:24 PM

I’m just gonna come out and say it: this may be our least favorite Roots we’ve done.  That goes for both myself and Robb.  There’s nothing wrong with Pop music.  Yes, we’re both more on the ‘Rock’ aspect of it, but we both enjoy a good pop song that gets stuck in your brain as much as the next person.  The problem here is, after the songs you know by Wham and George Michael, there’s not much else here.

We tried to stick to the music side of things with this roots and didn’t delve all that much into the tabloid stories and celebrity aspect of his career, or his sexuality…all of which were major parts of his life that affected him, and probably his music too.

One of the best pranks of all-time!  A guy with a ridiculous mullet playing a saxophone calling himself the ‘Sexy Sax Man!’  He’s literally turned this gimmick into a career, popping up at big concerts and festivals as a guest of big artists, and even doing NBA introduction music for the visiting teams.  Hysterical.

Next episode:  Bruno Mars!
