Culture Club’s
George hopes to
reclaim stardom
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Boy
. George, the androgynous former
president of Culture Club, is trying
to dimb back up the pop charts after
I surviving the crushing downers of
heroin addiction and the overdose
deaths of two friends.
“I’m totally relaxed about my
■life,” he said on a recent stop in Los
Angeles. “I’m totally relaxed about
: what I am and what I do and what I
■ feel.”
This is the first time the pop star,
whose real name is George O’Dowd,
/has been allowed in the United
I States since his 1986 conviction for
I heroin possession in England.
The conviction, which led to the
| disintegration of the hit-making Cul-
Iture Club a year later, forced the
I singer into a rehabilitation program.
His current solo album. High Hat,
I was released to favorable reviews
^earlier this year but didn’t get much
| airplay in this country. He hopes his
[U.S. visit will spur interest in the
1 soon-to-be-released single, “Whis-
i per.”
Now 28, Boy George hit the music
[scene at the start of the decade as a
| backup singer with the British group
° Bow Wow Wow. He eventually
| formed his own group, the Sex Gang
| Children, which later evolved into
| the Culture Club. Boy George at-
I traded the most attention of the-
• foursome with his outrageous
makeup, silky voice and 6-foot
| frame.
“If you look at the pop industry,
’ not a lot of people stick out as being
particularly interesting. I think at
; the time we were the most colorful
t thing happening,” he said.
But in July 1986, Boy George was
: arrested in London for heroin pos-
i session. He pleaded guilty, was fined
$370 and agreed to enter a treat
ment program.
Shortly after Boy George’s convic-
ition, colleague Michael Rudetski
■ died at the singer’s London mansion
? from a heroin overdose.
Then on Dec. 20, 1986, Boy
George and pal Mark Golding were
i arrested for marijuana possession
outside a London nightclub. The
next day, Golding was found dead in
| his apartment from a drug overdose.
Boy George is sensitive to ques
tions about those troubled times.
“I think it’s very difficult to put
jinto words,” he said when asked
what he has learned from the ordeal.
“There are certain things that I feel
that I couldn’t possibly explain with-
l out making it sound really futile.”

gathered from past issues of The

occurred during this week in
A&M’s history.
10 years ago — About 200 stu
dents rallied at Rudder Fountain
in a demonstration concerning
the Iranian hostage crisis.
25 years ago — The Battalion re
ported members of the Corps of
Cadets reactions to the students’
first week in the new air-condi
tioned Dorms 14-16. “Old Army
is goint to Hell,” one cadet said. A
younger Corps member felt dif
ferently, “New Army is great!”
Old meets new.
50 years ago — Ground courses
at tbe A&M aeronautic school be
gan with W.I. Truettner in
charge of instruction.
75 years ago — The local A&M
football season closed with a 24-0

dians at Kyle Field.
