Last time on our Sensational Shapers series we profiled Xi Jinping and his crackdown on dissidence at Chinese Universities. If only Chinese dominance of the world extended as far as many politicians in America bemoaned Xi Jinping might have the power to stop the regrouping of the 80's sensation Culture Club.
First, Boy George will released a solo album on January 31, 2011 entitled Ordinary Allen. The pumping discotheque hammering coupled with the androgynous falsetto voice over of Boy George with semi-inspirational blurts like "give truth a virus" from the song "Don't wanna see myself" conjure up everything about the 80's that is despicable this side of Gordon Gekko. Boy George has lost none of his make-up artist skills. As today's youth are in such an impressionable and malleable state by anything they perceive as being worthy of being rehashed the new Culture Club album stands poised to impact the world in a dynamic way. It is this incredible danger that a new Culture Club album presents to the pliable youth culture that makes Culture Club a sensational shaper of 2012.
They're putting a new record together and are going to supplement it with a world tour. Be on the look out for heavily made up youths joining the ranks of the occupy movement screaming about preferring a cup of tea! Furthermore, yes, Boy George, Xi Jinping does really want to hurt you. He really wants to make you cry.
