George Michael could be slow, and a perfectionist, but he could also be explosively quick, producing classics in a matter of hours. Tonight The Music Seems So Loud: The Meaning of George Michael, is published around the world this summer. You can pre-order now and book spaces at live events I’m doing in London with @intelligence2 and @hayfestival. #GeorgeMichael #Wham #TTMSSL

A little more on George Michael's perfectionism.

Tickets are also now available for launch events in London and Hay via sathnam.com/events. #GeorgeMichael #TTMSSL

George Michael was a notorious control freak. When it came to the Faith album this attention to detail extended from arranging, composing and performing the music, to styling, graphic design and even drawing the album artwork himself. Incidentally, there are two religious symbols on the front of the album, perhaps alluding to his complex heritage: the Christian cross and the Star of David.

One of the things that made George Michael unusual as a popstar was his activism. He was pathologically incapable of keeping his mouth shut, whether it was speaking out about apartheid, AIDS, Cool Britannia, or the Iraq War, even if it attracted mockery and abuse. He once said that his political views made him "look like somebody who’s been let out of an asylum. It’s true. Everyone around me thinks I’m my own worst enemy." But you know what, he was eerily right, a lot of the time.
