TORONTO (CP) —

Just like he did this week.

P from away during
the question-and-answer period, had been promised 15
minutes shooting time at the erid.

What they got was closer to 46 seconds before singer
George up and left, well ahead of his good-natured band
members Jon Moss, Roy Hay and Mikey Craig who stayed
behind to banter, sign a few autographs and soothe a few
wounded souls.

To be fair, the animated George O'Dowd, resplendent in
full makeup, oversized dollar-sign earrings and a sparkly
pillbox hat, had been in fine form during a lengthy stint with
a roomful of broadeast and print journalists.

His quick sense of humor, almost as much a key part of
him as his garish attire and ultra-soulful vocal came
to the fore frequently, often accompanies by his wonderfully
full, throaty laugh.

But his playfully pointed pokes at journalists —
occuring no fewer than six times within a relatively short
period — soon evolved into something uglier, including
insults and name-calling.

SOUNDS LIKE QUEEN

One young man's question went totally unanswered as
George, an admitted bisexual, rolled his eyes and
murmered: “This one sounds like a real queen.”

A radio reporter, deemed a touch too dour by The Boy,
was told that “you ask questions, but you ask them like
= ‘ve been sucking a dried prune. There's no humor in your

ce.

“If you've come along you should entertain us — we're
entertaining you,” he said, addressing the room at large. “I
could have a real laugh here, so don't we? C'mon, let's have a
shriek.”

One contingent who did indeed feel like shrieking was
the handful of photographers, who were totally caught off
guard by the singer's quick exit.

Indeed, when the photographers were first told before
the British band appeared that they would be limited to 10
minutes shooting time — soon extended grudgingly to 15 —
they registered protest, led by veteran Toronto Star staffer
Boris Spremo.

And when Boy George commanded the photographers
to stop clicking until after the questioning, Spremo shot back
that they were after animated shots, not just George looking
into the camera.

Cuts won't hurt employees
at CBC according to Mulroney

OTTAWA (CP) — Three
private consultants have
been hired to make sure that
budget cuts at the CBC “will

Prime Minister Mulroney

what he plays on his home

ry sick of music

For about 20 years,
Emery, 51, has been the
dominant personality in coun
try music on television and
radio.

Since March 1983, he's
been host of the live 90
minute variety show on the
Nashville cable TV network,
Nashville Now.

The Ralph Emery Radio
Show, a one-hour daily pro-
gram, is broadcast over 360
stations in 43 states. His
five-minute radio show, Take
Five With Country Music, is
broadcast by 140 stations.

He's also hosted the na.
tionally televised arthritis
telethon for four years. And
for 15 years, he hosted an
all-night country music show
on radio station WSM in
Nashville — a show that
reached much of the country
over the station's 50,000-watt
clear channel (one with no
other frequencies on it)
