George Michael’s music has been playing a lot in my house recently. I got to hear his song “Freedom” for the first time in like umpteen years. I was surprised to see it was first released 20 years ago! OMG!
What was memorable about that song to me was the video. George didn’t want to be in it and recruited the super models of the day. Not some skinny bitch models who are unknown, but real, SUPER, MODELS!
Can you name them all? Linda! Naomi! Christy! And Cindy! Oh and there’s some other blonde chick (Tatjana) that no one cared about and some dudes (pretty boys, ick!) in the video too.
This was pre-restraining order Naomi. This was when Linda wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning for less than $10,000. This was pre-marriage for Christy (Hunky Ed) and Cindy (gross Richard & Randy). This was when “super model” was…um, super!
The song and video represented everything that was wrong (excess) and right (more excess) with the 1980s. Turn it up, fan boy! You know you want to!
