Trivial Tuesday

Let's test your recall of the 1980's.

George Michael is in trouble again. This time he was found slumped over the wheel of his car and in possesion of "class C drugs." I'm not really interested in his legal troubles, however. What I am interested in is his early music career. Sure, you know the songs from his solo career and you know his songs from when he was in Wham, but that's far too easy. After all, Wham was really a group made up of George Michael and the other guy, much like Miami Vice was Don Johnson and that guy that played Tubbs.

So, who was that other guy that wasn't George Michael? And for a bonus, who was that other guy in Miami Vice?

Ah, what's a game without rules? Anarchy, that's what.

Be quick, because this isn't question shouldn't be too hard for those old enough to have worn their shirts with the collar turned up or to have worn jelly shoes.

Update: Well, the answer to the bonus question (Phillip Michael Thomas) came pretty quickly then Invisible Lizard came through with the main answer of Andrew Ridgeley as the other half of Wham.

OOPS!! That was Nash Bridges. Miami Vice was Michael Phillip Thomas.

Ouch, really showing my age here: Andrew Rigely was the other guy in Wham and Phillip Michael Thomas was Tubbs. (I could go look up the correct spelling of Andrew's last name on my Wham CD but that would be really embarrassing, wouldn't it, admitting that I have a Wham CD?)
