I can't claim to have been a fan of George Michael's music but I do have a sense of where and how he fits into pop culture and history. The NY Times has an interesting article based on the remembrances of the participants of the music video for his song "Freedom". David Fincher directed the video, which was what he was doing before becoming a movie director (e.g., directing "Se7en", "Fight Club", and so on") and it is interesting to get the participants take on what Fincher wanted to accomplish. The article can be read here: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/30/fashion/george-michael-freedom-video.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Ffashion&action=click&contentCollection=fashion®ion=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront
The video for "Freedom" is provided in article though there is an ad at the start that can be skipped. The Times reports that the video has been viewed on The YouTube over 37 million times since Michael's death on Christmas day. I'm still not sure what the song is about but the visual style is pretty good as eye candy. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
