I didn‘t anticipate reading a second book for this month‘s #TitlesAndTunes, but I was casting about for an audiobook, and I enjoyed Andrew‘s telling of their childhood friendship and time in Wham. Written after George‘s death, I thought Andrew was quite generous in how he wanted people to see and remember his friend.

I had to pick this song, though, just for the video. Supermodels, exploding jukebox, the jacket on fire! So rock and roll!

Megabooks And I‘m not usually a lyrics person, but I love a lot of George‘s lyrics, including Freedom 90‘s. 1y

Mehso-so

When I was a senior in high school, my friend and I sweet talked our way onto the set where George Michael was filming the video for 'Faith.'

Bless my sweet, little, naive heart. I just knew if I could meet him I would become Mrs Michael 😂

So, as you can see, my George Michael bar was set rather high. Sadly, this memoir didn't quite reach the mark.

I wanted so much more - from this book and from my sneaking onto that closed set.

LOL

Megabooks What an awesome memory!! 3y

“It‘s always our friendship I miss”

This was cheeky, dishy & fun! For an #EightiesGirl and one who fell in love with her future husband slow dancing to Careless Whisper, this book was a stroll down memory lane. I remembering seeing Wham in concert (again with future hubby to be) in 1985 & being swept up in the band‘s youth and exuberance🎶💕LOVED hearing Andrew Ridgeley share his journey with George from boyhood classmates to teenage pop stars🎤

Cinfhen I‘m listening to Sowing The Seeds of Love right now @BarbaraBB and I just watched George Michael performing at the Freddy Mercury Tribute! WOW!! His voice was so powerful‼️‼️ 3y
Tera66 Great song, I love your love story. So sweet! 3y
Cinfhen Thanks @Tera66 the end of that night has me puking into a potted plastic plant but that‘s for anther day😉😂 3y
BarbaraBB His tribute to Freddy Mercury blow the audience away. And the rest of the world. Have you seen the rehearsal of it where the big stars like Bowie are watching him uninterested (because Wham?!) and suddenly realize what a voice the man has? It‘s awesome. (edited) 3y
Cinfhen That was awesome!! And Bowie looks like he‘s the record label‘s accountant 😂😂 @BarbaraBB George Michael was such a superstar with that voice & face 💔💔 (edited) 3y
Cinfhen My favorite GM song is the duet with Elton John @BarbaraBB 3y

#7 from #12BooksOf2020

I adored George Michael & this memoir from Andrew Ridgeley took me back to the 80s.

Andrew65 Poor George Michael! 4y
Traci1 I saw George in concert when I was 13. We were in the very last row of a football stadium in Atlanta. Couldn't see anything even with binoculars, and it poured rain (we stayed fairly dry in the partial cover, but he got soaked). But it's one of my favorite memories. ❤ 4y
OutsmartYourShelf @Traci1 ❤️ I finally got to see him in concert for his 25 Live tour. One of the best concerts I went to. 4y

Ridgeley‘s early life meeting George and getting to fame with Wham! The best of friends according to him. I enjoyed some of the memories it brought back to me.
I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars for great pictures and nice memoir.

Definitely an 80‘s girl, esp. an 80‘s pop music girl, I can still remember the exact moment that I saw the Wake Me Up Before You Go Go video for the first time. I was sucked in and I regret that I was never able to see Wham! or George Michael live in concert. This memoir, though by far not the best memoir I‘ve read, still made me very nostalgic. I‘ve spent the last few days listening to and watching music videos & interviews. I miss them.

40-2020 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is not a literary masterpiece, what it is is Ridgely talking about his childhood and what he and best best mate Yog used to get up to, their passion for music and how that led to WHAM!! Careless Whisper is still one of my favourites, and now I know how it was written and the story behind it (not what u think either) I Love it even more

I absolutely loved this. A nostalgic trip back to my preteen years & my major George Michael crush! Andrew Ridgeley comes across well with a lovely acerbic wit when casting a critical eye over their sartorial choices in 80s, & his genuine affection for George shines through. 5🌟

Anyone else playing? I‘m trying to avoid hearing the famous seasonal #HolidaySong by Wham before 25th December😂

Meanwhile, I‘m wondering if Andrew Ridgeley‘s Book is worth reading, or is he cashing in on his old friendship?

This isn't some Trashy Tell All. Lovely remembrance by Andrew Ridgeley of his dear friend. For me a delightful trip down memory lane. Escaping my parents house to drive around, singing along with Wham!. Last Christmas was always a favorite. Make It Big remains one of the few albums that I love every song. It's thesoundtrack of my youth. To this day, whenever I need a bit of cheering, I listen to Wham! and start to dance. 💃

Godmotherx5 I was listening to Wham! This evening after a tough workday. 5y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Godmotherx5 it just makes you happy. 5y
Megabooks I need to read this. “Guilty feet have got no rhythm” is one of the best song lines ever! 5y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Megabooks There's a lot of history behind that song. 5y
Megabooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig Thanks! Now I‘m definitely going to read it. 5y

Listened to the audiobook and loved it! I‘m an eighties kid and was a huge Wham! fan back in the day, and this brings back so many memories. It‘s not a dirty laundry tell all, but rather a collection of memories and insights into a lifelong friendship, pop stardom, and the music business. Andrew Ridgeley narrates, and he‘s a great storyteller with a self deprecating sense of humor. Very enjoyable and a lovely tribute to George.

Eggs ❤️George ❤️ 5y
