Boy George Returns to Reclaim His Crown by

After an almost 20 year absence from recording original material, and a history of substance abuse played out in the public arena, you might think that “This Is What I Do” (Kobalt), gay singer/ songwriter Boy George’s return to recorded music might sound like, say, Marianne Faithfull’s “Broken English.” But you’d be wrong. Instead, Boy George’s voice, which isn’t as ravaged as Faithfull’s, but neither is it as unblemished as it used to be, is well-suited to the material. Beginning with opener “King of Everything,” co-written with former Culture Club band-mate Mikey Craig, George is diplomatic and graceful, particularly when he sings “What’s the word on the street/ Have I lost my crown/Or will I be king again?” In ways that only he can, George tackles religion and faith (“My God”), heartbreak (“It’s Easy”), journeys (“Any Road”), new love (“Nice and Slow”) and even politics (“Feel The Vibration”). Yoko Ono gets special attention here, including a shout-out in “Bigger Than War,” as well as a respectful cover of her “Death of Samanatha.” Guy Magazine: I’d like to begin by talking about the album cover for “This Is What I Do.” You are

wearing a fabulous hat, as you have done on the cover of many of your albums. How many hats do you own?

Boy George: Probably 40, maybe. They often go on to another life. Whenever I get asked for auction items, it’s usually a hat. The hats do get recycled quite a lot. Roughly, at the moment, I would say I have 30, 40. But they go and change and they have other lives. Do you have an all-time favorite hat that you’ve hung onto over the years? I have new hat which I haven’t worn yet [laughs]. It’s one of those things. The guy that makes my hats, a guy called Philip Treacy, is a very amazing milliner in London. He gave me this beautiful Swarovski crystal hat, which I have. I just don’t have anything to wear with it [laughs]. It’s such a number of a hat! I keep thinking, “What the hell will I ever wear it with?” Maybe it will appear on my tour. I don’t know. Do you have a cowboy hat to go with the

guymagtube

country vibe of the songs “It’s Easy” and “Any Road” on “This Is What I Do?” I don’t, no [laughs]. That might be a little too literal. Did you hear “It’s Easy” and “Any Road” as country tunes while you were writing them or did they evolve into that genre? I’m not someone who is frightened of country. It’s always been jazz, country, blues – it’s always crept into what I do. Certainly with “It’s Easy,” it was always going to be a country song. The idea of it was a Patsy Cline type song. Very simple, to the point. Some of those great old country songs have a great title. “It’s easy when you’re the one who stops loving first” felt like a classic Patsy Cline/Tammy Wynette/Dolly Parton tune. That was thinking, absolutely, 100% behind that. I wanted to come up with one of those lines. The song was written around that line. I really love “Any Road,” a song with powerful messages, such as “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there,” and the spoken conclusion where you say, “I’m glad I’m not crazy like I used to be.” That particular song was written around the groove. We sat around and came up with that guitar line (hums the part). That was the starting point to create a mood. The idea was that I would narrate, speak, really. A lot of the lyrics came from stream of consciousness. I wrote that song in a very different way to the way I normally write. I played around with different visual ideas and came up with the lyrics that came from different place, but in the end, made sense. “King of Everything,” the opening track on This Is What I Do was co-written by Mikey Craig, a former Culture Club band-mate. What was it like to work with him again? It was great to have Mikey involved. I think Mikey’s become quite confident as a writer. He plays around with keyboards now, not just bass. It was fun to have him around and to see how he’s grown as a writer and a musician. Back in the day we wrote some incredible songs together. It was nice to have his energy on this record. He also helped to write (the song) “Love and Danger.” I’ve always maintained that when a singer/ songwriter records a cover of someone else’s song that it’s a way to make a statement. Other than saying that you have great taste in music, what else does your cover of Yoko Ono’s “Death of Samantha” say about you? I’ve always loved the song. I think it’s a really guymag.net

beautiful lyric. A lot of people say to me, “Yoko Ono, she just screams.” They don’t think of her as a writer. It’s a song I always play to people when I talk about Yoko. I say, “Listen to this song.” I love her version of the song. There’s a great acoustic version of “Death of Samantha” that she does that I love. Lyrically, it feels like something I would have written. It’s a song I should have written or wish I’d written. The five songs that bring the album to a close are all in the reggae style. What made you decide to arrange them in that fashion? Originally, when we started the record, it was all going to be reggae. That was our starting point because Richie (Stevens), who produced the record, is a white-boy reggae-head. He’s a great reggae drummer. That’s why the album has such a solid feel, because of his drumming. As things went along, we felt it was a little too restrictive. So we allowed certain songs to be what they wanted to be. There’s a strong connection between reggae and country anyway. We decided that we wanted to be a bit more experimental and not so rigid about what we were doing. Music videos played an important role in your musical career. Do you plans to make music videos for any of the songs on “This Is What I Do”? There is a “King of Everything” video and a “My God” video. There are other ones planned. They’re not going to be like back in the day, 100 grand [laughs]. The video for “My God” we made in my house. It’s up online. It’s a great little video. I think the way you do things now is very different. You can do things on a budget. It’s almost come full-circle back to the beginning when there weren’t massive budgets and you had to be a bit more creative. I think that’s exciting. As someone who has spent a fair amount of time behind the decks as a DJ, are there songs on This Is What I Do that you would like to see remixed for club play? There are some remixes of (“Feel The) Vibration” which are going to be available pretty soon. There’s a really great remix package that we’ve done that we’re going to put out in America. I think they’re going to be free, not going to be sold. We started off with “Feel The Vibration” because that felt like the most obvious track to do as a dance mix. Boy George’s “This Is What I Do” is available for purchase on iTunes and other music outlets where available. For more information on Boy George, visit www.boygeorgeuk.com theguymag

THE WEEK

Miley Cyrus, Hits From the ‘80s and Blue Is The Warmest Color ____________________ ____________________ Thursday

3/20 Saturday

3/22

Sleuthing

Gallagher

oLet’s be honest, Colonel Mustard was hot! Even hotter than Colonel Mustard, though? An intelligent sleuth able to capture the criminal mastermind murdering unsuspecting partygoers. In this year’s annual fundraiser for Partners in Education, Clueless on Las Olas, the theme is “Cut, Blow and Die,” possibly referring to a mystery involving a hair stylist. Or is it just some weird S&M sexual innuendo? Come find out as 500 amateur sleuths from around South Florida descend on Las Olas Boulevard for this unique murder mystery game. 5:30 p.m. Stranahan House. 335 SE 6th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, 33301.

oEven if Miley mania has settled a bit in 2014, she’s still very much on everyone’s mind. In support of her multi-platinum, culture changing, careerdefining album Bangerz, Miley has been performing in over 38 cities. Singles like “Wrecking Ball,” “We Can’t Stop,” and “Adore You” catapulted the ex-Disney channel star to the top of the Billboard charts. Performances in risqué outfits and large foam fingers made her a controversial trendsetter. Swedish pop duo Icona Pop opens up for Miley as well as everyone’s favorite new rebel, Sky Ferreira. Whether you’re pro-Miley or anti-, no one can deny the songstresses vocal chops. Tonight she brings the charm and the wink-wink sexuality to South Florida. 7:30 p.m. American Airlines Arena. 601 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, 33132.

____________________ Friday

3/21

Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus: Hits of the ‘80s oGay Fort Lauderdale has been all about the 80s lately, with the recent Pride Fort Lauderdale hosting Lisa Lisa, Tiffany, and Judy Tenuta. Tonight The Fort Lauderdale Gay Mens Chorus’s second concert of the year continues the trend. Totally Awesome is a high-energy tribute to that colorful, gnarly decade. Music from Cyndi Lauper, Culture Club, Michael Jackson, and even Broadway numbers will be performed. Audience members are encouraged to dress up in fun 1980s outfits. Prizes will be given for great looks! 8 p.m. Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. 1 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, 33301.

Family Night Out oDisney on Ice is both a fantastic fantasia for any gay first date and a sensible, fun night for a Fort Lauderdale gay family. Figure skating and Disney musicals mixed together? What more could anyone want? This brand-new spectacular features beloved Disney characters along with some newer characters from movies like Tangled and Brave. Scenes from The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast are included. Come be Disney’s guest as princesses and warlocks alike double axle their way into our hearts. 7 p.m. BB&T Center. 2555 NW 136th Ave, Sunrise, 33323.

Bangerz! oAggression, watermelons, comic timing—all of these performance traits will be on display as Gallagher brings his mallet and his wit to the Magic City Casino. Most people only know Gallagher as that weird mustached man who showers his audience with watermelon and other bits of flying food, but the social commentator also has pointed insight into American society and politics. Gallagher was raised in South Tampa and received his bachelor’s degree at University of South Florida. With all of that Floridian education he was able to conceive his greatest contribution to mankind—the SledgeO-Matic, a large wooden mallet used to smash watermelons and other things. If venturing to see the almost 70 year-old comedian, bring a raincoat as things tend to get rather messy. 9 p.m. Magic City Casino. 450 NW 37th Ave, Miami, 33125.

A Romantic Man’s Opera oChivalry is not dead, at least not to lady’s man Don Quixote. This ballet adaptation of the famous novel Don Quixote de la Mancha reinvents an episode from that novel. The Miami City Ballet closes its season by performing the full-length ballet, incorporating spirited Spanish dance as a major element. With its famous pas de deux, legendary Petipa choreography, and rhythmic Minkus score, the ballet is an elegant choice to end a successful season. 8 p.m. Broward Center for the Performing Arts. 201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, 33312.

Tuesday

3/25

The Israeli Jean Valjean oAs an observant Jew, Broadway life was rather difficult for Dudu Fisher. His one-man off Broadway show Never on Friday explored the complications arising from these two lifestyles converging. Before Broadway, though, Fisher received his big break in an Israeli production of Les Miserables. He played Jean Valjean, receiving both acclaim and local fame. Tonight he honors both the stage and his Israeli roots with tributes to Yentl, Fiddler on the Roof, and performances of Yiddish folk songs. 7:30 p.m. Aventura Arts and Cultural Center. 3385 NE 188th St, Aventura, 33180.

____________________ ____________________ Monday

Tripping Out in Style oEnglish rock post-punk, new-wave band The Psychedelic Furs might be best known for John Hughes’ ingenious use of its hit song in the samenamed film Pretty in Pink. They have had many more hits than just that cultural staple, though, including All That Money Wants and The Ghost in You. After breaking up in the early 1990s, the band regrouped in 2001 and has been touring ever since. Tonight those heydays of yesteryear will be remembered once more. 7:30 p.m. Culture Room. 3045 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale, 33306.

Wednesday

3/26

Porn or Art? oThe controversial, critically acclaimed French film “Blue is the Warmest Color” made waves as soon as it premiered at Cannes last summer. After receiving the Palme D’Or, the two leads, Adele Exarchopous and Lea Syodux, complained about director Abdellatif Kechiche’s abusive and unrelenting style. The film itself showcases the passionate and steamy relationship between two young women in a highly sexual and destructive affair. Despite all the press, the film is heralded as a groundbreaking exploration of lesbian identity and first love. 7 p.m. The Pride Center at Equality Park. 2040 N Dixie Hwy, Wilton Manors, 33305.

TRAVEL

Decidedly Upscale Vacation Spots: From France to Brisbane by

Rick Karlin

“Champagne wishes and caviar dreams,” as Robin Leach used to say on the ‘80s television show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. That show was known for giving a glimpse into the lives of the 1%, when we aspired to be them instead of resented them. If you’ve got a bit of excess cash (don’t we all?) and want to experience that lifestyle, if only for a week or so, here are a few vacations where you can live the dream. Ever dreamed that you could live in a castle? ChicVillas, based in the heart of the France’s famous Loire Valley, makes that possible. The company offers a wide selection of properties for vacationers looking for something unique. Its rentals include a chateau located just outside of Paris, manor-style houses in Brittany, medieval castles situated amidst the vineyards in the south of France, and exceptional houses in the Basque Country. What is a house without a staff? ChicVillas can provide a private chef, driver, butler, etc. and since most of the properties accommodate at least 10 people, it makes it quite affordable when you figure out the per person cost. Among ChicVilla’s properties are Le Château Millénaire. Following a vast and carefully planned renovation it has become an extremely comfortable vacation accommodation. It comfortably accommodates fifteen people with period living rooms and library, orangery, terraced gardens overlooking the vineyards and a large swimming pool in the grounds; it has everything that is required to make it an outstanding getaway The Château’s wine cellars are legendary and may be used for tastings or parties. Among the other amenities are; acres of grounds with shady, terraced gardens and an orange grove, a heated swimming pool and nearby tennis court. One week rental is $6070. If you prefer something more modern, Costa Blanca, in Spain, is carefully decorated with Asian

influences, has a swimming pool surrounded by a lovely garden, barbecue, outdoor sink and worktop. The villa can accommodate six guests and rents for $930 to $3170 weekly. For information on these and additional properties, go to www. chicvillas.com. The site is in French, but offers English translations. If European luxury isn’t your thing, check out the getaway package offered by Hilton Brisbane. The hotel’s “Bubbly Nights in Brisbane” accommodation package, $255 per room per night , includes an overnight stay for two in a Hilton guest room, a complimentary bottle of Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2004, a dining voucher at the hotel’s upscale Vintaged Bar + Grill and a 15% discount on merchandise purchased at Monili Jewelry. For more information, check out www.brisbane.hilton. com/specialoffers and select “Bubbly Nights In Brisbane”. Break out the sunglasses, swimwear and suntan lotion and get ready to be Xposed! during the LGBTQ pool party at The New Tropicana resort in Las Vegas. Tropicana Beach Club, is surprising LGBT visitors with a recently completed $200 million transformation. The hotel offers a casino, acclaimed restaurants, new bars, a Mandara Spa, fitness center, two Olympic-sized sand volleyball courts, two heated pools, a high-rise stage for live entertainment and an exclusive menu featuring handcrafted cocktails and light bites.

FITNESS

Get Out Of Your Rut!

by Tom

Bonanti

You’ve probably been there before, or maybe you’re there now: you just can’t get into your workouts. The exercises seem boring, the weights are too heavy, and you feel like you’d rather be anywhere else but in the gym. You are experiencing a performance slump – a frustrating, seemingly unexplainable drop in performance which typically lasts for an extended period of time. In nearly every case, though, a source can be found. Slumps are often traced to a lack of recovery time from stressful situations, insufficient sleep, overtraining, or just a general feeling of malaise over life in general. The good news is that no matter what the hell the problem is about – job stress, a breakup with your boyfriend, a let down after vacation, or overtraining itself – there are mechanisms of recovery that can have you back in the gym doing battle with the weights in no time. A number of these tips come from Jim Loehr, a sports psychologist in his book, Stress for Success. First of all, you’ve got to rest. And by that, I don’t mean lying on the couch watching episodes of the “The Biggest Loser”. Active rest refers to recovery methods that involve movement. For example, walking, stretching, yoga, and golfing are all types of active rest that can help you recharge your batteries. If you simply can’t stay out of the gym, incorporate a wide variety of low weight, high rep weight training exercises for each of the various muscle groups. You’ll be amazed how you’ll grow once you resume more intense training habits. Passive rest is also essential and it can help rejuvenate your soul as well as your body. Examples of passive rest include meditation, napping, sitting in the park, or catching up with an old friend for some conversation. Note: passive rest does not include sitting on a bar stool drinking for six hours.

guymag.net

theguymag

Understanding your nutrition and how it affects your body is crucial not only to successful training, but also to your recovery process. During a slump, a lot of guys either eat like birds and lose size, of they binge out and get as big as cows. Whatever you’re going through, you’ve got to eat! Eat your meals at consistent times throughout the day. Eat light and often. Consuming smaller meals every 2-3 hours raises your metabolic rate and stabilizes blood sugar and energy levels. Never skip a healthy breakfast and stay away from quick, sugary, fatty comfort foods that will ultimately leave you feeling worse than ever. The dedication necessary to succeed at body building is substantial, and it requires focus and intensity. When you’re in a slump, you’re often frustrated and negative about your drop in performance. Look for opportunities to lighten up and laugh. Avoid negative people who drag you down. Listen to music that can calm and soothe as well as energize and rejuvenate you. Psychological changes associated with positive emotions occur that directly oppose the chemicals that accompany negativity and frustration. Finally, a good night’s rest is by far the most natural and essential recovery activity. Depriving yourself of sleep is like depriving yourself of food. A sleep debt of as little as three hours has been shown to significantly reduce physical strength in weightlifters. Lack of good quality, uninterrupted REM (rapid eye movement) sleep can cause paranoia, migraines, and violent mood swings as well as unwanted weight gain. Busting out of your slump doesn’t happen automatically – it takes planning and effort. Remember, recovery in your training and everyday life is just as important as the hard work you put into them.
