The wait is finally over.
Tonight, I will see George Michael in concert.
Most of my life has been punctuated with liner notes from his intricate storytelling and beautiful music. This soulful artist has been a constant source of soothing influence in my life. In particular, I grew up on his music on the cusp of the post-Wham years and his beautiful soul and artistic vision have allowed me to mature unlike any other singer. He is an incredible artist who humbles me time and time again.
Through tumultuous times and joyful moments, George Michael and his interweaving wisdom and seductive mots justes have kept me company, allowing me to wallow in my pain during the grieving process and draw strength from within. Through the years, his melodic poetry introduced my precocious young mind to a world of bittersweet, emotional drama in succinct and yearning tones as well as garnering sensitivity towards the waning social capital in veiled socio-political songs that burst our weary hearts into action.
After the concert:
He rocked my freakin’ world.

I didn’t but I’ll find it online, I’m sure. I’m really not one for big concerts and I’m still waiting to get my hearing back, but g-d damn, it was amazing. I’d say he packed in well over 20,000 crazy fans.
All in all, it was well worth waiting since 1986. He rocked and rocked our world.

I can imagine! Damn! I wonder when he’s gonna perform in India…
Must be an awesome feeling to be one of those 20000 voices screaming! :D
