Question: (1980's)
The Frankie Goes Hollywood "Choose Life" T shirts in the 1980's...Were these in any way, shape or form connected to a political message? Or was it as simple as: Frankie Says Relax.

Thanks, I think I was about 6 when this transpired.

5. As I recall
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 03:35 PM by gollygee
they were about drugs and/or suicide, not abortion.

And yeah, it was Wham!, not Frankie Goes to Hollywood :D

Those said

Frankie Say
RELAX

6. Choose Life meant not being a blinkered, anal retentive idiot
mind you I thought FGTH and Wham! were dickheads of the first order along with countless other 80s schlock.
