The Pointer Sisters opened up for them. It was San Francisco. I was with my Mom. Wham! was about to take the stage. It was the real beginning of my love for live music. No, I'm not kidding. I loved Wham! and you did too. Don't pretend that you were never that uncool.

I do it more often than I should. Michelle Wolfe is many things. She's a reasonably well known radio programmer from Bozeman, Montana. She's a talented photographer from the mid-west. She's apparently a lesbian porn star, and this week: a dead woman from Florida. Now THAT'S diversity.
