Saturday Night with Miriam 21/07/2007

80's icon Boy George & mum Dinah O'Dowd chats to Miriam about family, fame, drug addiction and murder all of which the O'Dowd family have first hand experience of. Boy George's mother was born in Dublin and reared on Dublin's north side in a tenement building near Summerhill. After years spent with a violent husband Dinah decided to write her life story in a book entitled "Cry Salty Tears". Dinah speaks about tabloid intrusion into their lives following George's success with the band Culture Club and how she cried many a tear over George's dependency on drugs. George tells Miriam about what life was like for him as a child in the UK with a violent dad and mother that he absolutely adored. He also talks about his career now and how he spends his time globe trotting as an internationally acclaimed DJ.
