the road...so if you've
got feelings on the whole Sony thing,
let's hear it, no matter what. Let's have some fun with this.

Hey! Everyone!
If any of
you have the opportunity to go to Yellowstone and
Teton National Parks, Go! They are both beautiful. There is
so much to see.
If you ever go, make sure you go to Jenny
Lake at Teton National Park. There is a wonderful, but long,
hike around the lake
that is beautiful in the morning.
Yellowstone has so much wildlife to see. I wonder if George
has ever been? I know Madonna
has been skiing in Jackson
Hole.
I saw two different versions of Star People 97 (UK) for sale.
One said Star People 97 +
2 tracks #1(VSCDG1641). The
other one said Star People 97 + 3 Tracks #2 (VSCDX1641).
Could anyone tell me what the difference
is between them?
I would like to order one of them but I don't know which one.
Any help would be appreciated.

tracker is the dance mixes, the other is b-sided with

Dear
Amanda,
The Strangest thing edit 97 is already on air in the UK. The tempo
of the song is an accelerated version of the
album one with very
nice vocals from the man. From what I have heard from Capital
FM, it will be released in mid September and
the DJ said that GM
is busy in studio, working on a new album. He also mentionned
that GM will be doing a great tour soon. Do
you know anything
about the new album??
(To the best of my knowledge the stuff George is doing in the
studio is remixing
for the Wham! greatest hits, not a new album.
AG)

of LWT's Studio One is now heaving under the strain of the 30
portable
cooling machines.
The £600-a-piece units were brought in as preparations get under
way to film a special Audience With Elton
John next month.
Each of the units is bolted to the studio's lighting gantry and is set
to blast cold air straight down on to
Elton and his VIP audience.
"With all the lights on for a big show like this temperatures can get
really
uncomfortable," my spy tells me.
"These air-conditioners can make the room so cold you can see
your own breath. It's
freezing cold."
Apparently this is just how Elton likes it - he always insists on
having cold air-conditioned hotel rooms
when on tour.
Guests who will be chilling out as Elton, 50, shows off his
razor-sharp wit and musical genius on the TV special
include
George Michael and Lily Savage. Perhaps they should bring a
woolly jumper with them in case it is too cold.
The
programme is due to be filmed on September 14 and will be
screened later in the year to coincide with Elton's British tour.
The
star - who once blew his nose on my tie - will play songs
from his new LP The Big Picture, released next month, as well
as
classics such as Candle In The Wind and Goodbye Yellow
Brick Road. Elton is the biggest name ever to sign up for an
Audience
With special, in which stars chat to a crowd of celebs.
Previous hosts have included Freddie Starr and Bob Monkhouse.

currently in negotiation with the Spice Girls. If they
agree, the Fab Five will record their show in November.>>

prevelant and sucessful throughout an
entire decade as George
Michael was in the 1980's, and not be influential to the future. I
would bet my life that artists such
as Babyface, R. Kelly, Seal,
etc. sang along to songs such as "Careless Whisper" and "One
More Try", just
as much as the rest of the world did.
Can't we assume
that today's black artist's owned radios at that
time? With the exception of current musicians who were
obviously locked in
their rooms with their old Neil Young albums,
I would gurantee that almost every new artist listened to George.
Even Axl Rose
listed FAITH as his album of the year, and even
had in depth discussions with George about their respective
creativity.
Although I have never used this list to promote myself (only two
people
on it know that I am recording), George Michael has been
my biggest influence. I'm sure that there are many others here,
