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 be carried out at the bur. eaucratic and administrative levels and not necessarily on the backs of the employees,” Prime Minister Mulroney said Friday.

But the prime minister also told the Commons his gov. ernment has confidence in CBC management and in tends to respect its tradi. tional independence from pol: itical interference.

Mulroney did not explain

NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP — Ralph Emery has a quick answer when asked what he plays on his home stereo after he finishes hosting his cable network television show and two syndicated radio programs.

“None,” he says. “I get sick of music. I hear so much of it as part of my work.”

They will operate “with due regard” for the corpor ation's delicate arms-length relationship with its political masters.

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)
