Paging 1982: Can George have a do-over?

George Michael interviews are sort of tricky to take seriously -- every single sensational sentence gets pulled into tabloid headlines, for one, and he's usually a bit too sarcastic to translate very well.

But the excerpts from this new conversation on Radio 4 include one glass closet gem:

"I'd been out to a lot of people since 19. I wish to God it had happened then. I don't think I would have the same career -- my ego might not have been satisfied in some areas -- but I think I would have been a happier man."

Hear that, kids?

> Speaking of ye olde glasse closet, the wunderkinds at USC posted the footage of the panel I was on last week. Here's where we talk about the Out cover story in question. (I recommend keeping your eyes on Wilson Cruz's excellent physique and smart commentary.)

while i don't want to think about a world where Faith and Listen Without Prejudice don't exist, i do wonder what would have happened if he were out then.
