As I did my morning exercise routine, I listened to music as I always do. It then hit me. There are certain lyrics that stick with me that I even dare to sing out loud on the exercise path. As I exercised this morning, I took those lyrics, […]
I loved Wham! I loved George Michael. But, I didn’t really know much about Andrew Ridgely. I hadn’t focused on him during my Wham! fandom phase. Actually, that phase has yet to end. On a whim, I decided to watch the Wham! documentary on Netflix, and I was […]
