As some of you may have noticed, I have switched over to the every
second daysystem, so for all intents and purposes, you will be getting YOGMAIL on oddnumbered days.
Notes: 1. YOGMAIL is
late today because of a late night phone call--12:30amEST--from Alicia (whamerica-at-aol.com) whom at some point blatantly said
"I'mgonna make YOGMAIL really late now!" with a certain degree of glee. 2. Back issues went out Friday--to everyone but
you Peter Dudas(sorry)--anyone not receiving what you requested, please let me know. 3. Latest member count: 127 with 3 more
awaiting address confirmation.
AND AWAY WE GO...

Wheel video (Yes I am in America) and what is the deal with the steel structure in the video?? And the whole gun reference what is
that suppose to represent??
(Gun: Russian roulette, check out the film The Deer hunter for further details on this. AG)
Well
I dont know but the video is so cool!! GM looks so hip in his shades and jacket! Is that really Deon Estus in the video playing
BASS?? Hmmm does not look like him at all but he is only shown for a second so who knows.
(Looks like Deon to me. I'm assuming
he's got some job security--despite not playing a note on Older--if for no other purpose than I can't really seeGeorge strapping on a
bass for concerts. AG)
Well Why do we Americans always get the short end of the stick?? AttentionUSA & Canada did you
know that the Wham! Fantastic CD in Europe and UK has 3extra songs on it compared to our American release of only 8?? Wow well the
3extra songs are remixes "Love M.", "Ray of Sunshine" & "Nothing looks thesame in the light". Wow
that remix of "Nothing" is so good anyone elseagree???
(Well now I'm pissed... AG)
Well back to viewing the
Spinning video to see what else I missed the firstfew times around. Oh what about that car in the video? Is it all full oftiny
mirrors??
(I think the car's sequined actually, but it could be mirrors. I guess it'sjust a giant disco ball of sorts, and we
do know how George loves his disco. AG)
Cheers! Brent (OH dont be scared to ask for help on installing the GMwallpapers I
made if you dont know how just ask and if you dont have themjust e-mail me and I will send one as an e-mail attachment ....
(Despite
never telling you I received the STW one, I did, and it's great. Aquestion, can't you convert them to bmp's as opposed to sending
them as dat. I downloaded a dat once, and it took forever, then when I sent a copy toAlicia, I sent it as a bmp, and it sent a whole
lot faster. I mean we haveto convert them to bmp anyway. Just a suggestion, and please send me more! AG)
(Personal Note to
Brent: This posting was lost in the annals of Mail I'veRead and that's why it took so long to post. Sorry. AG)

******************************************************************************To
Keli- The interview album is really interesting. It's broken down into twodifferent segments, one in conversation format and the
other in Q & A. Bothsegments cover the same material, which is written on the inside of thealbum. He talks a lot about the album
(of course) and shows his normalintelligent, witty self. (I try to remain unbiased when it comes to Mr.Panos, but I find it's
terribly difficult!)

I'm a bit confused. I always thought that the Æ symbol was a 'Greek
thing'.It's pretty popular in a lot of Greek words, especially from ancient Greece.I figured he was showing his heritage a bit.
Especially with a name likeÆgean.
(That's what I kinda thought too. AG)
Not that I doubt your story!!
(Bo told
us that it was a Danish letter that George saw while recording inDenmark, and feeling the need to have a trademark... AG)
Thanks
for the info. Just more things to ponder when it comes to George . .
.(Which we all know are infinite. AG)
"Sometimes

"Fastlove" is nominated for "Most Stylish
Music Video" at the upcoming VH1Fashion Awards which will take place on October 24 at Madison Square Garden.The rest of the
nominees in this category are: Bryan Adams "The Only ThingThat Looks Good On Me Is You," Toni Braxton "You're Makin'
Me High," MelissaEtheridge "Your Little Secret," and Oasis "Champagne Supernova". This awardis given to the
musical artist, the video director, and the stylist.
(OK, so I think the major competition is Toni Braxton. But if this award
hasanything to do with $ spent on clothing in general, then I think George's gotit. A humble request: In the event of Canada not
getting them live andGeorge actually choosing to appear, does anyone have an extra VCR to copy meone, and the time to FEDEX it me
the next morning? I will of course pay theexpenses. AG)

They have*everything*! I'm not kidding!! They have 2 galleries full of pics,autobiographies, and even his own quotes! Here it is: http://www.winart.dk/gmhtm/gm2.htm
(I
am quite familiar with this one. It's run by YOGMAIL family member BoAndersen. AG)
One of his quotes says that sexuality is a
very private thing and should staythat way. I guess he doesn't have a problem talking about *sex* in varioussongs but he won't utter
a word about *sexuality* anywhere, any time.
"But something good has happened to
me..."
Don't know if anyone has heard or not but former whamster Pepsi is in amusical called "He Say, She
Say". I'm not sure if its actually still runningbecause the advertisement I saw was about a month ago. It amazing what youfind
out while watching late night television.
(HOW DID YOU FIND THIS OUT? Any more details? AG)
Old Quote from Newsweek
Mag. "I think they do, very probably." - Rock star George Michael, when asked if his lovers try harder in bedbecause
he's famous.

I read it was supposed to
be on 8/13/96 but so far I have been unable to findit in the record stores.
(All we know, is that it has just been released
to clubs in the US, and thatCanadian radio and music TV is running it. As for sales, it would seem thatit is pretty much available
everywhere else in the world, except NorthAmerica. Now call me crazy, but does anyone else think that maybe DreamWorksmusic is
supposed to be a tax write off to offset impending movie and--maybeone day--TV success by having mortal music flops, despite trying
to get--andactually having one of--the greatest artists available? AG)
