George Michael hearts crack
George Michael was arrested in North London late Friday after being caught with marijuana and crack cocaine. I guess that's illegal or something in England. Prudes. The Daily Mail says:
George Michael has been cautioned for drug possession after being arrested at a notorious meeting place for gay men. The 45-year-old pop star was reportedly caught with a small amount of cannabis and crack cocaine on Hampstead Heath in North London. It is the fourth time in three years that the pop star has been arrested on drugs charges but until now he has been caught only with so-called soft drugs such as cannabis.A source said: "George has always liked smoking a bit of dope and he's taken it a bit too far sometimes but he's never really gone much further. It's pretty worrying." (Source)
George Michael was arrested for the fourth time in three years at a "notorious meeting place for gay men"? It sounds like the guy wants to go to jail. And why shouldn't he? Sentencing George to prison with a cellmate would be like punishing Lindsay Lohan by locking her in a brewery. It'd be a dream come true for the two celebrities . . . and in both cases, something would end up getting sucked dry.
George Michael has disclosed that marijuana keeps him "sane and happy" - while admitting it can be a "terrible, terrible drug". The 43-year-old singer launched into an extraordinary defense of his habit in an ITV interview in which he openly smoked a joint before the cameras.
Inhaling deeply, he said: "This is the only drug I've ever thought worth taking but you have to wait. It never occurred to me to take even this until I was about 22 or 23. This stuff keeps me sane and happy. I could write without it...if I were sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy. You can't afford to smoke it if you've got anything to do. Anything at all would be foolish."
OK I officially like George Michael. Indicating your displeasure with "the system" by publicly smoking a joint is downright rebellious. If this was 50s, George would probably have a permanent parking spot at makeout point. And a cool leather jacket to go with his horrific World War II flashbacks.
George Michael was arrested and "cautioned" by police after being found slumped over the wheel of his car in London. Michael also had marijuana on him:
It was his fourth motoring incident in eight months, including three involving him asleep at the wheel, the Mirror said. A police spokesman said that the 43-year-old was taken into custody yesterday, was cautioned by police for having an illegal drug on him and was released on bail pending inquiries on being unfit to drive.
George drives just like my grandma, only with less death and WAY LESS hashish. And less cussing. Definitely less cussing.
