Last Christmas
Monday, December 25, 2017 at 12:01AM
Merry Christmas, everyone! Amid this day of holiday celebration, it's also a little sad for me. This is the anniversary of the day we lost George Michael. He died last Christmas at age 53. I was sad for weeks after his surprise death. "Last Chrismtas" is one of my most favorite George Michael songs. Well, okay, it's from his Wham! days, but still... the song has an even more special meaning to me now.
Please enjoy the day regardless if you celebrate or not. If you're feeling alone, leave a comment and someone will pop by to answer you. Communities like Reddit are very active all the time and divided into different subjects (subreddits) so you can avoid Christmas/holiday talk if you want. And yes, Reddit Hair Metal exists! Also, Reddit Music is a giant community.

I hope everyone enjoys the day, whether you celebrate or not. And Allyson is right: there are all kinds of ways to make today a good one, even if you are going it alone. As I have said before, I found this site at a very low ebb in my life. Amazing what the power of music--and some spirited conversations--can do.
Metalboy!, Ace, Gary, Rita, and all the rest . . . I hope you finish out this year in fine spirits and start the new one in fine fashion.
All in all, a pretty good day.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Even bk.
All the best to all of you.
And now, let’s get ready for a Rockin’ New Year!
p.s. There you are, Rita!, my Heavy Metal Love! Oper8n, thanks for the glimpse into your world. Really puts it all into perspective during this time of mass consumming and Christmas present envy!
