Cowboy George has talent,
Boy George has sh!t.
He fit the 'mold' late 70's early 80's in England,
when there was a big push for a second english invasion (Beetles etc part of the first), of homo-techno pop culture music (if you want to call it that).
There was an A-Team episode in which Faceman was promoting a concert in a country music venue. He had intended to book Cowboy George and instead Boy George shows up. Murdock crossdresses as part of the plot. It was one of many badly written silly scripts for the wonderfully escapist and fun series.
