On Being Born The Same Exact Day Of The Same Exact Year As Boy George Comments

I read this one through too. Boy is judging Australia's The Voice and providing lots of laughs, irony a forte.

i saw the comment nika made; saw it on her comments page. glad i did. this poem starts with a unique proposition: two wannabes groping to reach the same womb. do you REALLY regret that you lost the race? i wonder. almost 12 years later (than your poem was submitted) i wonder. or maybe you just made up this great story, and have not regretted what you have become versus what B.G. has become? nicely done! perhaps superbly done. i have heard of boy george and i think i could have said he was a singer, but that's about it. i wrote a poem [i think 'i hate people'? ? ] in which i stated that i was (sort of) jealous of some outstanding entertainers/humanitarians/athletes, even though jealous isn't the right word. it would be nice to know i had brought some joy/excitement-of-the-good kind/etc. into 1000's of people's lives [Hell,1,000.000's! ]. BUT i am really quite satisfied with my ho-hum life. at least now on PH i get to entertain a few people AND myself. YOU have entertained ME! thanks for sharing. bri :) i, too, shall send to MyPoemList, and maybe look at another of yours.

Wow, this is much better than a tribute. This is like we're meeting Boy George as you know him. It's like being given insight into a wild fantasy - and yet it's so vivid. I can almost see George wandering the streets wondering why he went where he went. I'm pretty much the fan of all fans, i'm a fan of alot of artists. Still, once i discover someone new - as i did with George about a week ago - i become pretty obsessed. And being obsessed with George is not hard at all, he's just such an interesting person. So my point is, I can totally understand how obsession can become a great work of art. And i mean obsession in the best way possible lol. Anyhow, this is going to my poem list for sure~ ~Nika

Not my favorite, but still good. I enjoy the examination of the celebrity/audience transposition with this trademark coyness.
