Boy George 1993. ”I still fancy Larry Mullen Jnr and it depends who calls me a ’pervert,’ ’homo,’ or ’fag.’” Boy George soul searching with Joe Jackson

In 1987 during my first interview with Boy George, he said "tell Bono if he still hasn't found what he is looking for, to look behind the drum kit!" The quote was winged around the world courtesy of MTV News. Six years later, we did our second interview and that subject, naturally enough, was raised at the start. But much as Boy George lusted after Larry we then went on to discuss, for The Joe Jackson Interview slot om The Irish Times, a broad set of issues and subjects in-depth - but always with Boy George's irrepressible sense of humour.
