Besides, Phelps is 70-something; his kids will try to carry on once the Lord takes him home, but it just won't be the same without him and his unique brand of crazy.

Imagine Rev. Phelps' soul's surprise when he approaches St. Peter only to be told that God hates him.

Erh, no. As important as Boy thought he was, Culture Club was fundamentally a one-hit wonder. For better or worse, Gaga's got legs. Um, I'd say they're about on a par with each other.

Culture Club had a decent pop sensibility and several lesser hits after the monster success of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", including "Church of the Poisoned Mind" and "Miss Me Blind". Now if you want to assert that all Culture Club's hits sound alike, like Brian McKnight's do, I won't argue with that assertion, though I don't share that opinion. So far, what I hear from Lady Gaga is more varied ("Bad Romance," "Poker Face"), but it's not yet clear to me she will last.
