Tuesday Trivia....

So, after my "Last Christmas" post and "Wham!" shout out, you are all aware of my great love for the group. It's only appropriate that today's "Tuesday Trivia" post concerns the lesser known of the duo, Andrew Ridgeley. Specifically, what ever happened to him after Wham! ended?  If you've wondered about this, here's your answer:

He has deliberately eschewed the showbiz limelight and spends his time playing golf and surfing while his millions earn interest in the bank.

It was in 1994 that Ridgeley quit the London scene with Bananarama sex kitten Keren Woodward  and her son Tom to live in a converted 15th century farm house.

When he does surface, it is to campaign for environmental causes, in particular safer, cleaner water.

After an ill-fated attempt at a solo career, Andrew decided to remain behind the scenes as a songwriter to other artists.

Also, on the way back, one of my friends goes, "You guys want to hear my

favorite Christmas song?"  She presses play and it is Wham!  She said it

is her favorite Christmas song and it makes her Mom cry every time.

And I think we all know why this is the best song ever; because G-Michael's voice sounds like a combination of both Fergie and Jesus....BEST DAY EVER!
