Fair enough. I'd just add that Kevin Costner once went backstage to meet Madonna and we know how that turned out.
I don't doubt that Boy George has met Morrissey. I don't doubt that they may even be cordial around each other. I'm just saying I don't think they could be called genuine friends, and the bottom line is this: if Morrissey were asked his opinion of Boy George it would not be flattering. On a good day he might say something like, "I've always found him to be interesting and his sense of style very striking, but as for the music, well...let's move on to the next subject." He might even go with his boilerplate line, "As for Boy George, I always found him much more interesting than any music he actually made".
That's on a good day, mind.
I stand by my original point: pairing Boy George and Morrissey in a "compliment" like that is a veiled insult, whether Kerr intended it or not. I would welcome input from any Morrissey-Solo member who was around when The Smiths and Culture Club were releasing records at the same time-- even to mention the two front-men in the same breath was massively offensive.
