George Michael

So George Michael was on Idol last night. Singing a great blast from the past, "Praying for Time" I used to own the "Listen without Prejudice" album, "Praying for time" was the last song on the album. I'm not a huge George Michael fan. I never owned any Wham! or his other stuff. He's been arrested and made some pretty significant mistakes that have cost him. He's got his demons that he's wrestled with for years. But last night his song (along with ZZ top) was the best performance of the night. His Listen Without Prejudice" album was an amazing album and last night it reminded me of how good.
The album actually tells a story. "Praying for time" is where the story starts and then the album ends with "Waiting"

These are the lyrics to how GM ends his album.

Well there ain't no point in moving on
Until you've got somewhere to go
And the road that I have walked upon
Well it filled my pockets
And emptied out my soul

All those insecurities
That have held me down for so long
I can�t say I've found a cure for these
But at least I know them
So they�re not so strong

You look for your dreams in heaven
But what the hell are you supposed to do
When they come true?

Well there's one year of my life in the songs
And some of them are about you
Now I know there�s no way I can write those wrongs


Believe me
I would not lie you've hurt my pride
And I guess there�s a road without you
But you once said
There's a way back for every man
So here I am
Don't people change, here I am
Is it too late to try again

Here's the video of Praying for Time: Lyrically great. Hairstyling.. not so much.
