[QUOTE="joe frady, post: 1987360562, member: 386"] í forgot that Ms Greenstreet, the Q&A Mistress, jumped the sinking "[I]Sunday Correspondent[/I]" ship and went on to do her thing at "[I]The Guardian[/I]", where, 24 years later, she 'did' George Michael. Slightly different questions by then, but it's quite instructive to observe the vast differences between the two. Oh, and George had a secret... [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/aug/09/george-michael-q-and-a[/URL] "George Michael, 51, grew up in London and in the early 1980s formed the band Wham! with Andrew Ridgeley and had hits such as [I]Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go[/I] in the early eighties. In 1986, they split up and he went on to become a hugely successful solo artist, in spite of several run-ins with the law and battles with ill health. On 18 August, he releases his new single [I]Feeling Good[/I], and [I]Symphonica[/I], his recent number one album, will have a limited-edition release on vinyl.

[B]Who would play you in the film of your life?[/B] Well, Robbie [Williams] has already played me and Tom Hardy is playing Elton, so how about Paul Newman? [B]What is your favourite word?[/B] Go-on-then. [B]What is your favourite book?[/B] That's an impossible question to answer. [B]What is your guiltiest pleasure?[/B] Sunday morning – loads of episodes of Corrie to watch. [B]What do you owe your parents?[/B] I owe my mother who I am, and my father my drive. [B]What does love feel like?[/B] Like nothing else.
