Chris and I recently scored last-second tickets to see Culture Club perform at the Westbury Music Fair (or whatever it’s called now), thanks to 2 amazing humans who thought we might enjoy the show. Well, let me say we DID indeed enjoy that concert, and it took me this many years to realize how much I loved, *LOVE* so many songs by Boy George and the band. Their list of hits is undeniable, but today’s song, Time (Clock of the Heart), has got pretty much everything, including the eighties horns I love so much, that sweet and sultry voice of Boy, black girls singing back-up, and a catchy hook. To see and hear this song performed live, to perfection, was exactly the reminder I needed to nail it to my list of tops. The band sounded as good today as they did when they were recording hits in the early eighties. I encourage you to go see them, now, wherever they’re playing!
