Hello Friends,
I was just curious if
someone could help me find a copy or know
of a place where I can get the George Michael MTV Unplugged
concert on C.D. I
ordered the "Free for Love" C.D from KTS but it
never came, I was wondering if someone knows another online
record
store that has it it for sale...or just knows where I can get
one from.
(YM bootleggers do what you do, but not via YM. AG)
Another
question I have is the Unplugged album ever gonna be
released worldwide..like all the others eventually do?
(No plans that
I know of, but when it comes to George, don't use
the word never. AG)
I now have a comment, I know it was all just for fun,
but I did not
submit anything to the Wham Tribute Contest because to me, I
could not imagine ANYONE singing those songs except
George....
So I did not enter....
Another thing, thanks Amanda, for setting this whole thing up...
(My distinct
pleasure. AG)
BTW you are very cute, I just saw your picture the other day..
we are the same age..
(Thank you very
much. Mum and dad tried. AG)

Hello,
Amanda!
I will probably loose my e-mail for a while soon (I don't know
when, I'll let you know when you can stop sending me
YM. And,
of course, I will let you know when I'll get my e-mail back) So,
there were a few things I wanted to say.
I
have never told you this before, but I know that many of YM
family have, but it's just that kind of things you can not get tired
of...
Amanda, you are doing a great job! Thank you! We all know that
George doesn't do much to keep his fans together or to
keep them
informed. You are doing it for him. And I think it's the best you
can do for your favorite artist. He should be
proud to have a fan like
you.
(If I can just help him half as much as his music has helped me,
both in celebrating and
moping, it's a fair trade. AG)
My first issue of YM was #173. But I have been reading YM
archives, too. I have found out
many things I didn't know. I have
found some interviews and added them to the ones I already had.
And I (like many of the
fans, I guess) have made from all this
stuff something like a book. I just arranged everything in
chronological order, added a
little of my opinion, I used
everything I had about GM. And it took me about a year (well, I
haven't finished yet, and taking
into account that I have to work
and i have to study it might take another year to finish it...) "The
book" (it's
not really the book, you know, but I have no idea how
else I can all it) is in Latvian. I can also translate it into Russian
(and
I will when I will have some more time). And I will give it to
my friends to read, I guess some 20 or 25 people might read it.
And
I hope that it'll help them undertsand GM's music better
and conceive everything he has done in his carrier and I think
maybe
a half of them will start to buy his records and some
probably will become a true fans. That's what I can do for
George, I
think it's the best I can do. I hope he knows that he
has people out there doing their best for him. He appreciates it,
I'm
sure. He can't forget about us, can he? We are the people
who have made him what he is. Good job, fans! I like it!
I have
to admit that I ... I haven't seen Unplugged yet (My God,
it hurts to say it!!!!) If somebody can help me, I'll be very grateful.
I'm
lookiong for someone with original Unplugged record and 2
VCRs. (I't will be much easier to do if it'll be someone from
Europe,
I guess) I can mail the tape or reinforce all expences
or whatever. Just e-mail me, and we will work it out. I'll be
VERY
THANKFUL.
I guess that's all by now.
I'll really miss you, guys, when you will be off to California. I
wish I could
be there, too.
Bye
Kristine
p.s. I hope I will get a few more YM issues before i will get cut
off... I'll let you
know.
Thanks again.

Hi
Amanda and fellow yog-fans,
I have recently discovered that listening to George can be
DANGEROUS.
During the weekend
I've been decorating. I thought to help me
along the way (remember the seven dwarfs whistled while they
worked) I thought I
sing along with George while I worked.
Singing along with George at the top of my voice (and irritating
the neighbours into
the bargain) was great ~ however I kept
forgetting that dancing was not permitted whilst standing on
ladders and worktops ~
well not if you want to remain in once
piece. On more than one occasion I nearly toppled off ladders
and worktops. (Still I
suppose had I landed up in hospital, I
could have tried to get George to visit me ~ wishful thinking I
know).
(I
almost free fell some 20 feet to the ground when I got a
little too into Venus last summer. I know how you feel. AG)
Now my
reason for writing ~ I hope your YM weekend goes
with a bang .... I only wish I had the air fare to come and join
in the
celebrations.
Anyway not to be left out ~ Laura Porcelli announced in an
earlier issue of YM (cannot remember which one)
that she is
coming to London early July and would be interested in getting
Yog fans together for a weekend. To try and help
Laura out
this is an advertisement:-
######################################################
ATTENTION TO ALL UK GEORGE
MICHAEL FANS
######################################################
Do Yog fans in the UK wanna have some fun - YES.
Do we
want Yog fans in the States to have all the fun - NO.
Solution - we are tying to arrange a YM weekend here in
LONDON
during the last weekend of July.
Are there any Yog fans out there who would be interested
in coming along to have a lot of
fun???????
If so you can reach me on e-mail - Derbymin-at-aol.com.
Please note I only have access to the computer during
weekday
working hours.
Both Laura, and myself, look forward to hearing from all
you Yog fans.
Thanks Amanda - what a terrific
way to advertise - and cheap too.
(Anytime, two YM weekends on two different continents on the
same weekend would make for
a great July 29th issue of
YOGMAEL!!! AG)
Bye for now.
Michelle.
P.S. I'm pleased you liked my WHAM memory - hope
I didn't
send too many readers to sleep!!!

Last night I couldn't sleep so I watched the Freddie Mercury
Tribute
Concert. George's wonderful performance always
makes me very proud of him. It seems that by the time he
finished singing
"Somebody To Love" he had earned the
respect of at least the three remaining members of Queen (if
not the whole
world!) In fact, George's voice fits them very well.
I can almost see it -- a Queen reunion tour featuring George
Michael! I'm
not a big Queen fan, but I'd pay to see that.
and wondered who the solo back-up singers were during
"Papa Was a Rolling
Stone." I feel like I should know this,
yet I don't. Can ya help?
Ray Henry. I could be wrong about Shirley though, it may
have been Lynn Maybry. AG)
www.net-link.net/~stephens/ and it gets my vote for the
weirdest George Michael page. Of
course, you're free
to vote for what you think is the weirdest page.

in Yogmael #192, I

Hi Amanda!
I really enjoyed your web page! I think speedos are scary even
on
George. (I still think he's so sexy though..it's that voice that
really does it to me) But in no way is that as scary as that
Andrew
picture. Other than one single he did a long time ago
isn't he racing cars? It looks like life has been hard on Andy.
racing, and has since early 1996 lived in Cornwall England
with Keren
Woodward and her son Thomas, spending his
time surfing. AG)
I'm, also glad that there are people younger than me that love
George's
music. I just started feeling old ans started to wonder
where all the GM fans are. i just turned 28 and I have been
listening
to his music since Junior high. I always enjoy those
with a sarcastic sense of humor. Keep making us laugh!!

We

Hi Amanda
Have I missed something - have you spoken to THE MAN
HIMSELF ?????
too.
about
thinking it was him, I trust no one, so I checked with
Shirlie -- I received a short note from George last month.
It was
titled "shock" and read "IT'S ME!" AG)

Hallo Amanda and everybody,
I'm writing
after a long time spent enjoying myself only reading
your mails, laughing at your anecdotes
And feeling a deep link among all
of us. I'm a bit sad now because
I won't be able to read my yogmail from London, where I'll stay
until September 17th. Till
then I'll try of course to do "something"
to tell you when I come back….you know what I mean…. Don't
you? I'm
sure I'll feel I don't know…a little bit alone during the
summer….I'll try to read all the news anyway through my nice
British
friends of Yogmail, hoping not to feel too "out of our
world". Well I really must say you've helped me a lot lately and
don't
worry, I'll be back in september when we'll be 1000…..(do
you like the idea Amanda???)
Well done AG you've done something (still
doing !!!) you can be
proud of!!!!!
LauraXXXXXXXXXXXXX
