At some point when I wasn't looking, the membership roster broke
the 600
mark...we're at 626 YOGMAELers and going strong.
AND AWAY WE GO...

1 it is absolutely untrue that
we had anything to do with the shutting
down of the Different Corner site, to the contrary George is a bit
miffed about it

put a link to our site on their site. The last thing we need is

have to answer a question like that? AG)

Hi
everybody,
I wasn't around much...and so now you're gonna have to put up with
a bunch of posts from me for a while...
OK...first,
Amanda, I am going to do my damnedest to be at the YM
weekend here in LA and may be bringing a friend with me...the only
foreseeable
problem at the moment is transportation...as both me and
my friend are blind...but I am working on it. The San Fernando
valley...isn't
that where you were talking about having the hotel?...is a
helluva taxi fair from Anaheim...but maybe I can work something else
out...so,
anyway, the upshot of all that is...I will do whatever I can to
be there...and may have someone with me.
know not, she hasn't talked to me since I mentioned it... The hotel
that
gets the priviliedge of hosting is as yet undetermined. Good
luck on the transport, maybe you can solve some transport issues
via
YOGMAEL. AG)
a more suitable escort than
you...unless of course it was George
himself...but, honestly, I'm not holding my breath. I love what I do but I
am not even
comparable to George.
what's winning Grammies these
days... AG)
am looking for volunteers to help out
with my GM page to get it done
faster...so, if by the time this gets posted I still need help, someone
please Email me
privately if you want to help.
On another note...I was listening to the "Fastlove" summer mix
today...there are some
characteristics of it that I really like, that were
very much like the unplugged. I think George is brilliant when he is
stripped
down a bit...and I was wondering if perhaps the "Summer Mix"
was the original version of the song before John Dougless
came in and
90ized it. (Hmmm...just created a new word!)
After listening to the "Star People" 12" single several times, I can't
help but miss the WHAM!
days a little...or even the Faith days. The
mixes are good, and I enjoy them...but I wish we could get just a few of
the
more...how can I word this...the more "thought out" remixes if you
will. I don't know how else to put it. Some examples
are the extended
"I'm Your Man", "Young Guns", "Hard Day Remix"..."Monkey
Remix"..."Bad
Boys Remix"...need I go further?
Anyway...that's that for now. Take care guys. Keep up the excellent
amaze me...I'd never be able to keep up with the YM's...Hell! I can't
even
keep up with reading them!
But most of us are not sure,
If we have too much,
But we'll take our chances 'cause God stopped keeping
score.

Recall a couple issues ago (#123) we got a post in Spanish, well thanks
to
the bilingual set here on YM, here's what it said:
--------------------------------------------------------------
I
can't help but offer a translation for Liliana in Bogota, since you
asked:
a message, or of telling you that your songs bring me so much joy,
Kissing A Fool, Praying For Time,
etc. I would love to be able to
listen to your songs live, and it would be so great if you were to
come to Colombia. You
really are one of the few artists who has
maintained (vigilence?, impact) for so long, and your songs have
such a (profound /
deep) (meaning /sentiment). You are
spectacular in every essence of the word.

you that I love your songs, kissing a fool,

be cool if you'd come to Colombia. You are realy one of the
few artists that can sustain his position for such a long time and
that
makes lyrics with such a deep feeling. You're fabulous in the
whole meaning of the song.

Hey
Yog Fans,
I just came back from my spring break trip to Portugal. I
was very impressed at the exposer of GM in that country.
His
songs were frequently played on the radio. Every
music store I passed had his CDs and many had his OLDER
poster posted. While
walking the streets at night I heard
his songs coming from the different night clubs. My
point is that, it might be that I do
not get out much here
in Virginia, but I must say that GM seems to be more
popular there than here. To hear one of his songs
on the
radio here you might as well wait forever. Well, that's it,
I just wanted to say how impressed I was with Portugal's
good
taste!!! Hope everyone else had/has a great spring
break!

In reference to a posting in YM 123, I have the book GM:
In His Own
Words - it consists of various things he has said to the press or
transcripts from Chancery Court and I can tell
you it is well worth
the money! It is all grouped into chapters so you can find quotes
about anything whenever you want. I do
not have Bare? What does
anyone think about it? Worth buying? Is it an autobiography or a
biography?
like when those essays are mounting and it is 1am on
Sunday night,
just listen to a couple of GM songs and you will soon be back on
track!
and the week after too...yes, Amanda will be running on empty until
Mid April. AG)

"Hey suuuuuuuuckers!" (what
the hell's got in-to you?)
and I must say it's
pretty fantastic. It's fast. Check for it at a store
near you!
Ontario and came across a big WHAM!/GM picture book. It has tons
of old pics... How bout George and Andrew in the Club
Tropicana
pool blowing on trumpets? Yeah. And Georgie in his bright yellow
rodeo jacket and shorts? Uh-huh. Did somebody say
TOPLESS
snaps of George's then current gal and he poolside at what may or
may not have been his own house? Definitely! But the
greatest part
of all is hidden inside the cover...George has personally autographed
the book! It says "To my dear friend
so-and-so, hugs and kisses,
xx oo" I wonder what complete moron sold this book!!! My bud
bought it for a scant $4. Can
you believe that???
somewhere, it cost me $25 8 years
ago. AG)
discography at the back. It does say that part of
their deal with
Innervision was that they receive NO profit whatsoever from the sale
of 12" singles. OOPS!
There were two ladies...one was Ridgeley's girlfriend (what a
player!),
and the other was just some chick who had a car.
HAHAHAHHHAHHAHA!!! --Sorry, it all sounds so "Saved By The
Bell"
to me. :) It also says that GM and Andy were "inspired" by
"Saturday Night Fever" and performed songs like
"Stayin Alive"
during their days as THE EXECUTIVE.
was Shirlie Holliman... AG)
concert
in Rotterdam because the crowd expected Andrew to be
there! Speaking of Andrew...OUCH! George says something like
"whatever
Andrew does, be it acting or racing...I don't think he'll
be so embarrassed by his achievements because they'll actually
be
his this time. He did nothing at all for Wham after Fantastic."
George has covered. Good luck finding that one. :( Well, here it is
the 18th...has anyone got their hands on
the Starpeople single yet?
And Amanda: how are things in Hamilton for music? Can you count
on any local shops to supply the
imports or do you rely mostly on
yogmael? Do you guys have a Dr. Disc there? I know there's one in
Windsor and another in
Kitchener. The one here in London is actually
VERY reliable. They got two copies of the Older ep as soon as it
dropped.
Dr. Disc, which yes, we have in Hamilton. Though it was
rather nice
to be able to buy new George product with a $20 bill and get paper
money back as change when I got the Star People
CD at a shop.
By the way, on that matter, greetings to Leeanna, I did as I was told
and I thank you! AG)
Rob!

Hello fellow Yogsters,
In
response to the inquiry about the book George Michael: In His
Own Words, it's a compilatiom of quotes fron G taken from
various
sources, interviews, press releases,etc. It is arranged in
loose sections, but is not a real "book", just the quotes.
It is
written by Nigel someone, I can't remember his last name. It was
not what I expected when I ordered it, but it is
impossible for
anything having to do with George to be anything but wonderful
and worthwhile!
Hope this helps!
Yet you beg him to love you, when me, you won't
ask."

To Wrap it Up:
Wednesday night, Donna Delory is performing at the Genghis Cohen
Hollywood, CA and the number is (213) 653-0640. And takes notes
for me.
Will give George product in exchange for anything really
good. Will pay cash for a bootleg. Seriously.
