But onto better and brighter
things...like George! So I went on a huntaround the city to find the STW single, but to no avail. Reckon I'll betaking someone up on
their offer to send me one. But, while passing throughEaton's--the Canadian equivilent of Harrod's--I did hear the strains of
"ItDoesn't Really Matter" coming from the audio department.
Notes: 1. Got two notes from people who need a
resend of issue #23, anyone else? 2. Making a few changes to the address book, would any internationalsubscriber--anyone outside
of the US--please e mail me with their location? It'll allow you to start receiving your YM in the morning and not the
lateafternoon. 3. Yesterday was our one month anniversary. I'm pretty impressed really,close to 175 people in 30 days. AND
AWAY WE GO...
Do you know where George will be performing his MTV unplugged concert, is itin California or New
York. Also you mentioned you can buy tickets for thisconcert, how would i find out when the go on sale.
(Actually it's in
London, and I have no idea how to get tickets nor even whatvenue he's using. One more correction, I flaked out on the actual day of
theMTV broadcast, it's NOVEMBER 24TH actually. Sorry all, I guess I bumped itup as a means of wishful thinking... I can tell you one
thing I haveheard--courtesy of Alan--the show will contain a cover of a Bonnie Raitt tunecalled "I Can't Make You Love
Me". Also a note to all international YMsubscribers, have you made friends with someone in the US yet? Over halfthis list's
subscribers are American, so there's no excuse we can't have acopy of that Unplugged in everyone's hands within a week or
two--depending onhow bad the person wants it. I believe I will have mine FEDEXed! AG)
I'm just happy to hear you've heard a
few Dylan lyrics... I agree that hecan't sing, and that he's a bit... uh...degenerated? But, hey... I think heenjoys himself yet,
for a dirty old man.
(I wholeheartedly agree! AG)
No hate mail here, Its not my style. Also, I've been wanting to tell
you-- ifyou ever want to cut back my stuff...If my fingers overstep my brain...or Ipiss you off...I hope you realize its all in fun.
Sometimes it feels creepywhen everybody gets too serious.
(No big deal to run your stuff--long though it may be , you
just keepposting!! I don't exactly like it when it gets too serious either. I'mquite the smart ass in my own right, right Alicia?
AG)
I have two exams this week...calc and econ...so I'll try to get the interviewthis weekend...It's very long. I don't mind
typing it out...but perhaps Ishould send it to a homepage instead of YogMail? the frank letter isshort...I'll definatly get it done
this weekend.
(Calc and Econ--OUCH! GOOD LUCK!! I was useless at math, which is why I ama social sciences student and not
commerce. Just photocopy the interview andsend it to me, I'll send you info on one or two I've got and we can trade. Ihave an
unemployed pal who sits by the phone waiting for an answer on one ofthe resume's she's sent out, plus she just got a new computer
and likes toplay with it--her most recent task has been typing the truly comprehsivescript to Madonna's Truth or Dare--so I could
ask her. But if you want totype it, send it to YM as a CC to whatever page you post it to. Whatever youget to us is fine! AG)
And...his
autobiography actually says its pine, hu? That book sounds good, Itried to get it, but am not willing to pay out the ass for it.
Excuse mymouth, its that midwestern thing I've mentioned. Thats funny. I'm wonderinghow they slipped that in there...
(It was
in the context of interviewing him at home, and a description of thesurroundings. AG) < ON SALE. ITHEN ASKED HER WHEN WILL
THAT BE AND SHE SAID THAT SHE DID'NT KNOW. I TOLDHER THAT I WOULD CALL BACK FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS LATER ON. ANY QUESTIONS OUTTHERE
THAT ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO ASK WHEN I GET IN TOUCH WITH HERAGAIN?
VIRGIN AND TOWER RECORDS ARE SELLING THE STW CD

STATES ANDAS FAR AS ANYWHERE ELSE, I JUST DON'T KNOW.

KEEP
UP THE GOOD WORK AG AND COME ON GEORGE MICHAEL GUY FANSAND E MAIL ME SOON. GOOD BYE AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF.
Call me crazy or call me stupid, but where oh where can I find the STW video? Is it on MTV or VH1
yet?
(US connection? AG)
I have been so busy studying lately that I admit I haven't watched much tv,but if it is on,
can someone tell me which music channel it's on and alsoapproximately what time of the day. I must see Georgie!! Plus, I don't
wantto be the only goober who hasn't seen the darn thing yet!! :) Thanks allfor your help.
(Alex, you are not a goober! Well
I don't think so anyway, I mean I supposeyou could be, but I would not agree. AG)
Last week I happened to catch a very old telecast of 'The best of
AmericanBandstand' as part of a VH1 special set of telecastsanyway they had GM aspart of then Wham in his Fantastic days (so I guess
this was recordedsometime in '83) performing Wham rap with Andrew, and he did the videoversion of the song with the alt. lyrics
(which by the way I think is muchmuch better) so that was pretty cool.
(I agree! In fact, who has an audio copy of that
version? I WANT!!!! AG)
Then over the weekend I rented the Freddie Mercury tribute where GM performed39, days of our lives
and Somebody to Love. What I really and all my friendswho watched it with me couldn't help but notice is how much a better singerGM
is than everybody else. Normally I always listen to him sing in isolation, but thatconcert clearly helped compare him with the
others and it was plain to seehow much better he is. I really think his peformance of 39 has got to be oneof my favorite songs. I
was wondering if it would be possible to get hold ofa copy of the taped version ?
(George was one of very few performers who
performed songs in the key theywere written in. And I agree, in terms of vocals, he stole the show thatday! If you closed your eyes,
it was almost as good as having Freddie... Speaking of Queen, we are about to add an official Queen fan club contact tothe list, so
maybe he can help you out here! AG)

Hey there folks (oh btw, "the like" referred to: obsessors, haters, those whodrool

(Yes,
thanks! AG)
Right, then, a few days after I get my Australian releases of those STW CD's(THANK YOU TIM!!!), what do I get to
see at a store in my city (Winnipeg,Canada)??? YEAH, you got it...the same STW CD's, except in the UK releaseformat. How
interesting. But, anyhow, just wanted to let you know that thestore in Winnpeg (HMV) has got them, so it should be available
almosteverywhere in NA now. I come to this conclusion because Winnipeg is the mostnon-George loving city and it's almost impossible
to buy anything of his(well,I am exaggerating now, but still...) and therefore, my dear Watsons, I

really fast sounding, but I want it anyway! Here's aplan, go buy mine--once I send you the $--which I'll do as soon as you
sayyes--pop it open, give it a listen, then send it to me OK? That way you getto hear it, and we also make sure it's not defective.
Sound fair? AG)

HI this is Christine from North Carolina, and you may not believe this but Igot the Deon Estus
CD for my birthday last January!! My best friend found itat Camelot Music (WHere I used to work and where my boyfriend now works)
forunder five bucks!!!! If you have a Camelot Music near you look in their"cut-out section" you'll be surprised at what
you might find.
(I bought the tape back when it was first released, but I'd love a copy ofthe CD, if anyone finds one, I'll
be happy to buy it! AG)
Now what would really be a great duet is George and His Royal Badnesshimself, Prince. I know that
they have had jam session a few times and arefan of one another. If you can't tell, I am a huge Prince fan too!
(ME TOO! Best
movie moment over: The Beautiful One's in Purple Rain! AG)
Excuse me... is it me or my imagination, but it seems to me that
there are anawful lot male yogmailers (some female too) who are interested, or comment,or perhaps... hope that George is gay or bi.
As a serious, althoughgeographically challeged, fan of his for over 12 years, I don't give a ratsa** if GM is gay or Bi. That is his
business. As a fan I have evolved froma preteen lusting after his body and beautiful smile to a woman of 23 who still thinks he is
sexy, but cares more about hismusic than who he sleeps with!!! Come on people. People made the sameacusations about Prince (who is
another favorite of mine) and Michael Jackson(ok forget about MJ, the jury is still out on him) But anyway, I'm not goingto lie and
say If George "Came out" it would not affect me, but it would givea whole new meaning to his songs. I support any decision
he makes if it willmake him happy and end the funk he was in the early 90's. I have to admitthat It was very nice to see his
beautiful smile in the Fastlove video, Imissed it... Oh and by the way, who was that shmuckwho had all those "neighborly"
things to say about George? I have onequestion for him... How would you like folks coming up to you nonstophounding you for an
autogragh,waiting outside your home and always wanting apiece of you, wouldn't that get on your nerves and cause you to be a
littlepissed off and/or standoffish????
(Gee, that sounds like something I'd write. I agree with you 100% Chris! Vent anytime
you want to! AG)

There
was an item about George in Tuesday's New York Post (in the "Page Six" gossip column). There's a mug shot of George
w/sunglasses, and the text follows:
caption: "GEORGE: handy man"
"Pop relic George Michael had a cozy
dinner the other night--with another man. Michael, half of the defunct duo Wham!, was staying at the Lowell Hotel, where the staff
was told to address him as "Mr. Michael," our spies report. He dined a deux last Tuesday at Cafe Nosidam on Madison and
66th with a young blond man in tight jeans. They shared a $30 bottle of wine and their total check came to $125. When the maitre d'
offered to get them a taxi due to the rain, the manly Michael said, "I can handle it.'"
(My comments if I may:
Relic? WHATEVER! Gee, I don't like the staff athotels to just say "Hey Amanda" either. George grew up and in lives
inLondon 6 months (?) a year, I think he can handle some rain too. AG)
