Freedom, or Freedom 1990 was from "Listen Without Prejudice", George Michael's 2nd album, not the first.
The song is actually all about him "coming out"

It was covered too by Robbie Williams.
I expected to hear Hendrix's "star spangled banner", but maybe that would be too obvious!
Great show, Brian. This one is definitely a "keeper." Will listen over and over.
