The Boy is back in town

Boy_george_2 Is St. Petersburg, Fla., ready for Boy George? No matter the answer, because favorite cross-dressing-turned-felon has just announced he'll play Jannus Landing on July 27.

Pollstar.com has a full list of Boy George's latest tour dates, which is full of the usual House of Blues and Hard Rock stops. But an outdoor show in late July in Florida? Was this part of George's community service sentence?

It's not clear what Boy George is promoting on his current world tour -- his first in 10 years -- other than hopefully paying off what have to be enormous legal bills thanks to his random shenanigans. Still, you gotta figure he'll draw a decent crowd of the curious -- even if he just stands on stage and spins records.

Check out the message boards at Digital Spy for the latest fan talk about his live shows.

Thanks for the offer, Mike. I'll be in touch once plans are finalized. I'm in Nacogdoches, btw.

Rick

I thought aliens who were convicted felons weren't allowed entry into the USA?

Mike in Austin

Hey Brohter(big tex), come on down for the squeeze show. I'm closing on my house end of Aug/1st of Sep so I can't offer you a bed but Angelina is a mean cook. Didn't you say you were from El Paso, I think? I'm from El Paso by way of Los Angeles (circa 1980ish). Coronado class of '87.

Let me know,

Mike

Good grief, I'm schvitzing just thinking about a show at Jannus in July. A place that's basically a courtyard with not much room for ventilation. It'll be like a show in the sauna at the Y.

(And mi hermano Mike, you are killing me. Killing me, I tell you.

Big Tex

Hey Mike - I was thinking of heading to Austin on September 5 for the Squeeze show. You a Difford/Tilbrook fan?

Big Tex

Mike, you just sent me into full body dry heaves. JK - keep on dancing!

Marissa

Mike, you just sent me into a full body laugh.

Mike in Austin

Money tree you ask? Not sure who you are asking but.....I have a few other jobs besides full time father, husband and worker.....I have my own webacam shows.....I dance commando to 80's songs...I post the times and the money comes a rolling into my paypal account. Remember there are 290+ million people in the US, China is just starting to hit the internet age, not to forget McDonald's expansion.....do the math

(southwest has cheap flights all the time)

Marissa

Do you people have possession of a freakin' money tree or what? If so, could you send me a starter sprig? I could use it.

Mike in Austin

Speaking of Regeneration, will the SIT80's nation rally for the tour stop in Florida end of August? I've never seen Missing Persons, the wife is giving me the thumbs up to fly solo.

Spears

You realize Boy George is here in Tampa Bay the same week as Journey-Heart-Cheap Trick and right before The Time and Regeneration Tour in Vegas?

It's 80s week, baby!

Mike in Austin

You know Old Boy is hard off for cash when he's playing Stubb's BBQ here in Austin. bow down mister, hare har-e har-e har-e, har-e lama, hare Krishna...
