Godspeed Your Love

The Boy George interview in the Times magazine yesterday was as interesting as I hoped it would be. George has been through the rehab process a few times and his recent jail sentence was properly shocking. Normally, pop stars manage to keep out of prison, even though their behaviour might land mere mortals in the chokey. But George was on a cocaine binge and he took the sentence in apparent good grace, reading books, keeping a journal and preparing for a relationship with Narcotics Anonymous. One of his new projects is an alcohol and drugs-free club night called Godspeed. It's so unfashionable, it might just be a cool idea. But will the self-regarding people of north London actually buy the concept?
