Hi. I have a humble request for all web site managers who have kindly
given me
links: Can you please make it very clear that YOGMAEL
and I have NOTHING to do with your webpages? I am getting all sorts
of
mail regarding your web sites. Also, please make it clear that I can
only add you to the mailing list, I can't answer 101
individual questions.
Thanks.
Also, regarding donations, Elliot came through with a contact person
and address to make
my life easier, so from this very second on, send
donations in memory of Lesley straight to:
Judith Righton
Help A
London Child
Capital Radio
30 Leicester Square
London UK WC2 7LA
Make the check/money order out to Help A London
Child. All money
thus far received by the YM collection crew will be forwarded in the
next couple of days. Thanks a lot to
all.
AND AWAY WE GO...

GUESS
WHAT!
George has finally gone #1, yes #1, again in the US! No, I'm not
joking, Star People is the number 1 dance/ club play
song on the
billboard. I was crusing www.billboard.com, and went into the hot
singles catagory and there it was! I yelled for
joy (unfortunately I
woke up my mom.) Thought you just might like 2 know!
(There you are, I knew I checked the mail before
sending this issue
for a reason... AG)
B.T.W. Amanda, you are doing a quite commendable job, by all
means! I'm in school
also, but just Middle School, the only thing I
do is DJ dances and Basketball games, (yes, of course I piss off
my age group
by constantly playing George songs,) but College.
I would just like to offer by deepest gratitude and thanks.
(You're
welcome. AG)
Later,
George Lewis.

Hello Amanda....
Just bought the "George
Michael-The unauthorized edition". This
picture book and interview disc has got to be the most fabulous
thing. Do you
know if this is the first U.S. interview (on the disc).
Sounds great and is very insightful. What would my life be with out
his
emotion and life experience.
One last thing...
When will "Waltz away dreaming" be released? In late April?
"Thank
you, George, for sharing your life with all of us.:+).....",

In response to how to phonetically pronounce George's
name...I
believe Laurie Harbert got it right in Issue #136. My good friend
Stephan Paschiledes, who is Greek and was born
in Cyprus, told
me how to say it and it is just like Lauire has it:
Your-yee-os
Kir-ree-ach-os
Pan-ah-yo-toe
Hope
that helps! and I don't think it is correct to pronounce the "P" in
Pan-ah-yo-yoe as a "B" as one Yogmael
member posted in #136...at
least that's what Stephan said.
Cheers!

Hi Amanda and All
In
issue #136 Tina Stem wrote about her son liking George, and
Amanda replied get'em while they're young! my daughter is just
2
years old and we have broken a couple of tapes in the car due
to too much use (if you can ever get too much of George) she
shouts
out Georgie all the time until I put on Fast Love/I Can't
Make You Love Me and sits there dancing about in her car seat
singing
oooo hoo, yeah yeah (see hasn't learnt the rest YET),
see loves him as much as me I think, whenever he's on the
television
it's 'Georgie, Georgie' look, there he is.... and when
my husband turned it off once she started shouting and crying,
this
means that not only does George have all of us supporting
him, he will also have mini-followers supporting him for many
years
to come (maybe it's just because he is so brilliant)..
Keep the yogmael going Amanda, but try not to burn yourself
out,
have a rest for a few days I'm sure we'd all understand.

Hey guys,
Go
to my site if you are looking for lyrics at
http://www.celeritysystems.com/~lion99/gm/
Now...something that I am not sure
whether to find amusing or
aggrivating. Do any of you have a game called "Song Burst"? It's a
song where you are
given a couple words from the lyrics to a song,
and then you have to sing the song from that point until the end of the
section
printed on the card. The copy I have is songs of the 70s and
80s and so naturally lots of them are George's songs.
Unfortunately...
I fear they are not quite accurate. Here is what the card for "Father
Figure" says:
I will be
your father figure,
Put your tiny hand in mine.
I will be your creature feature....
UHHHHHH.....HUH????? What the hell
is that???? Weren't
creature features those double headers of movies you could see for
a dime back in the 50s at the
theaters??? Good lord!!!!!
Anyway...couldn't help posting that. Take care all!
(I read that same lyric in 'Scuse me While I
Kiss This Guy. AG)

hello
everybody,
Does anyone else think aegean "live videos" really are a pain? does
anyone else got "net
congestion" every two second and a half? I've
got the best computer technologies and hardware here so it can't be
a
problem coming from me, so i 'd like to know what you think...
Personally, aegean doesn't match my expectations, i'm not thrilled
by
it one bit at the moment. I hope i'll be more thrilled by the backstage
area but so far all i can do is wish Asem back!
It's him who should
run the official site in my opinion.
Also i'm looking for a penpal in the uk please, does anyone come
from
the uk and manchester or london? if so, write me.
See you later,
françoise

HI AMANDA & GEORGE MICHAEL'S TOOTHBRUSH,
This
is in response to Avery22-at-aol.com: I AM ONE OF

PALS. I had my pen pal ad in Bop Magazine
and had a lot of responses. My name is Frank Reyes and I really
miss those snail
mail letters that I used to get before this email thing
came a long. It was a lot more personal and the letters were always
decorated
very colorful and fulll of George Michael stickers. Anyone
can still write to me by snail mail if they would like for that

I caused
trouble. Anyway, I have a big concern. I need this Easter radio
thing on audio or I will walk and swim to England,
bang on GM's
door, and tell him to say everything over again. I have to hear him
happy! Can someone help me? I will pay
whatever for this! I just
need someone to e-mail me soon! Can someone get this too me
quickly? I would be grateful forever
and ever and ever and ever....
One more thing, a person wrote to YM saying that they were from
Brasil, I was just wondering
where in Brasil, my sister lives there.
Thank you all for dealling with me during this hyper phase I am going

I am getting very confused with what everyone is saying.

Hey Amanda , what's going on with this Big Issue article that I keep
reading
about ? I guess I'm wondering what magazine is it from and
what month ? Also there was a response about the article from
Yog#137
where the person was commenting on GM being gay , is
that what the article stated ?
(The Big Issue is a British publication
and the article ran this past
November. I ran full text of the piece in YOGMAEL # 85, available
at the YM Archives

Read it, and you can take a guess at his sexuality for youself. AG)

Hey all!
Anselmo died of a brain
hemorrhage, and the Strangest Thing
Live was from the radio 1 show he did I believe in paris. Actually
it might have been in
Paris studios in London, I'm not quite sure.
(No, it was in London at the BBC studios. AG)
I was crusing the web
yesterday and saw KTS records that had
2 George bootlegs. One was the unplugged called "Acoustic" and
the other was
from the radio 1 show called "Free For Love," you
might want to check out.
Anselmo was also a Brazilian clothes
designer. A VERY dear
friend of George.

Hi
Amanda,
I hope that everything is going well for you. I have to say again that
Yogmael is wonderful. i have met many people
with the same
devotion to GM as i have. I have been trying to get a hold of the
latest albums (after Listen without predjudice
1) and have had a
very hard time. If someone could provide me with a list of releases
since then and a place to get them at
that would be wonderful.
Thanks, Caroline
P.S. if there is anything that i can help you with by putting this
together
please let me know. I am always interested in help out
with new and exciting things for me to do ( i have a lot of free
time
:-) so just let me know o.k.)
(YOGMAEL runs itself most of the time...but thanks. AG)

Hello
out there in yogmael land, my name is greg and i am an avid
GM fan. I have read a few yogmael editions on the net and really
enjoy
them. I have followed georges career from a young age since
he was with wham, well from an age i can appreciate music, i'm
only
20!!!!! My interest has increased humongously lately though, I
have all of his albums and especially enjoy the spinning the wheel
E.P.
I
recently read "Bare" and found it really helpful in understanding
Georges personality. I look forward to contributing
to Yogmael in
the future and am more looking forward to reading yogmael regularly,
keep up the great work.
A ginormous
Australian fan
