While drifting through that netherworld of tangled wires and idiomatic, unrehearsed language that is the web, I sometimes come across chunks of interest that give me hope, for various reasons.
Today’s reason for hope is the following tidbit from a former music critic, who actually manages to get to the core of his subject’s personality.
Temperama: George Michael: The Case For Lower Self-Esteem
During my former life as a pop critic I interviewed George Michael twice: first when he was a beginner with Wham, then when he was a big time solo act who claimed to prefer girls. On both occasions I was struck by his impregnable self-confidence. This appears undiminished, sustaining him through a series of events which better balanced people might have reacted to with just a hint of a blush. Stars are supposed to be full of insecurities. Not George. He seems to believe he is incapable of error. Maybe that’s why he’s never made a record worth hearing.
