I go over his life, his music, his legacy, and his death.\nI also talk about his importance as a singer/songwriter, both for the music itself, and especially for expanding the concept of what singer/songwriter music can sound like, beyond the bounds of the standard \u201cperson with an acoustic guitar\u201d cliche.\nWere you into George Michael and/or Wham!? If not, why not? If so, did you follow him throughout his career, or drop out after FAITH? What biases do you think you might have about him because of who he was, what kind of music he did, how he died, and/or how the media portrayed him? Do you think he qualifies as a singer/songwriter? Discuss dammit!\n~~~\n*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
