Culture Club: Wembley Arena, London
Max Bell, Times, The, 20 December 1984
OF ALL THE SUPERGROUPS currently vying for public attention Culture Club and their lead singer Boy George seem the most vulnerable. The title of their recent album, Waking Up With the House On Fire, tempts fate, as does their American single 'Mistake Number Three'; their last singles, 'The War Song' and 'The Medal Song', were so appalling they could only be defined as mistakes numbers one and two.
