    Thank goodness Ronnie is in hell right now or George Michael would be giving him a pow-wham-bam in the face

    ITT: “Reagan would be right because Wham! sucks” people who don’t get the connection between the massive popularity and rabid fanbase of Wham! in the 80s and the one for Taylor Swift now.

    The Final was the farewell concert by English pop duo Wham!. It was held at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 28 June 1986.[1] A total of 72,000 people attended the event

    I always knew he was a monster. But this is just beyond the pale. One does not say they hate the creators of the best Christmas song “Last Christmas” (or maybe second best if Christmas Wrapping is in the mix).

      Last Christmas is not the best Christmas song. It’s the most overplayed one here in Denmark and probably other countries too. Last Christmas is to Denmark what All I Want For Christmas Is You is to the US, possibly worse.

      Anyway, the BEST Christmas song is and will always be Queen’s Thank God It’s Christmas, in spite of the religious reference in the title and chorus.

        Is their WORST and most overplayed song.

        OK then. Next year, to save you from tears, we’ll play it for someone special.

          That’s part of the problem: they save nobody from tears by playing it for everyone!

          They really should change it to opt-in.

        Of course most overplayed. I mean at least here in Germany, that’s a huge meme that as soon as Christmas time begins, Last Christmas is unavoidable and no matter where you go, you’ll hear it everywhere (also on every radio station).
        So Wham is often mentioned in a negative light due to this (e.g. “A radio station without Wham - that would be a [great] present” in a comedian’s song).

          Same here in Denmark lol, howdy neighbor 😁

          It’s even turned into a social media challenge where whomever avoids it the longest wins. I lasted to the 15th last year by avoiding shopping centers whenever possible and not listening to the radio 😄

            The version I’ve seen in the US uses Little Drummer Boy, but Last Christmas would work well, too.

    What would Ronald Reagan name his own social media site?

      Something to do with Jelly Bellies or astrology, probably 🤷

        I’m not much of a Wham! fan, but apart from anything else, George Michael is one hell of a singer. I like the solo stuff he did after leaving Wham! a lot more. I think “Freedom! 90” is an amazing song.

        What is it with him and exclamation points anyway?

    Why would someone make Reagan look sympathetic?
