Not much time to ramble, heaps of homework as always, and deadlines loom over
my
head.

I
just want to ask you some questions, you told us once in a yog mail
something about a new baby in GM's life maybe I didn't get
that well but can
you explain to me?
(I was referring to his $80,000 Jaguar XK8. But on this topic, since Madonna
has
Lourdes, Prince will soon have a little symbol, and even Michael Jackson
will soon hear the pitter patter of little Wacko
Jacko's, when will we get a
little Yog? Just a thought. AG)
Also I wanted to ask you if you have seen GM's video clip
"Papa was a rolling
stone /Killer" do you know if the earring his was wearing in his mouth was
real?
(George
didn't appear in that vid, it was merely another bearded man. The
jawline was totally wrong. Gift for anyone who can tell me what
former
Madonna dancer was in that vid. AG)
I'm also lucky cause I got a job in a music store and maybe I'll get my
missing
things from there. Still thanx for everything!
(Congrats on the GREAT job, and you're welcome! AG)

Hello
Amanda,
Could you please post this in the next issue of Yogmail? I am in dire need
of money as soon as possible, personal
emergency, and so I have no choice but
to sell some of my most prized possessions. These items are unique so I don't
know what
price to ask for them, therefore I will sell them to the highest
offer, sort of like a mini
GM auction. Here goes:
(Sorry
for the delay, and very sorry you have to part with them. AG)

I have 2 of these tapes for sale. Like I said I dont know what
price
to ask. These tapes were given out at those 4 concerts in
March 91 at Wembley Arena in London (Cover To Cover Tour).

(and no, I'm not mistaken, it is "Pano" and not "Panos", I
don't
know why it was printed that way or why it wasnt printed as
George Michael when it was on the other side of the record.)

just found out that I will be unable to leave the
country next June, I work
with my parents you see, and they have decided their vacation time should
come first, so they are
bailing and leaving me in charge of business affairs.
I tried to protest, but my mom had heard of Nancy's posting about George
being
in LA in August, and told me I shouldn't waste my money if there was no
way in hell he'd be there anyway. So it looks like I'll
be spending my 22nd
birthday instead of George's 34th in LA. Details in February. AG)
I JUST THOUGHT ID SHOW YOU PART OF AN
EMAIL THAT I REPLIED TO TODAY FROM ANNA
IN GREECE,WHICH CAME FROM YOGMAIL.SHE WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT MY EXPERIENCES
SEING GEORGE
LIVE,SO I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT. AS SHE HASNT HAD THE CHANCE TO
SEE GEORGE YET.
(It's hard to explain I must agree. AG)
SO
I THOUGHT THAT ID LET YOU SEE IT TOO,YOU NEVER KNOW IT MIGHT PROVE
INTERESTING TO SOMONE ELSE WHO HASNT SEEN THE MAN
HIMSELF,LIVE.... USE IT IN
A FUTURE YOGMAIL IF YOU LIKE?
HERE IT IS.
NOW DOWN TO YOUR QUESTIONS.
I FIRST SAW GEORGE
AS WHAM! ON 14TH DEC 1984.THIS WAS THE ACTUAL DAY THAT
GEORGE HURT HIS BACK ON STAGE AND HAD TO CANCEL SOME DATES ON THE TOUR.
(Was
this not due to a backstage Madonna impersonation instead? AG)
THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER CONCERT OF ANYONES,AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY
HOOKED ON
LIVE EVENTS. THE SHOW WAS EXCELLENT,BUT YOU COULD TELL THAT GEORGE HATED
TOURING,EVEN THIS EARLY IN HIS CAREER. DONT
ASK ME HOW YOU COULD TELL
THOUGH.IT WAS JUST AN OBSERVATION.YOU COULD ALSO TELL FROM THAT DAY,THAT THE
BEST WAS YET TO
COME.HIS VOICE WOULD BECOME A LOT BETTER.
(It's only the process of touring he hates, not the performance, I have yet
to
see him do anything but beam when I see him. AG)
THE NEXT TIME WAS AT THE FINAL CONCERT AT WEMBLEY STADIUM JUNE 28TH 1996.
ALTHOUGH
IT WAS A SAD DAY,IT WAS ALSO THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE SO FAR.WORDS
CANNOT DESCRIBE THE FEELINGS OF THAT SPECIAL DAY,I THINK THAT
ONLY THE
PEOPLE THAT WERE ACTUALLY PRESENT KNOW THAT
FEELING..................AWESOME!!!
(I am duly jealous. I have the
audio though, and some video clips. AG)
I THEN WHENT ON TO SEE GEORGE SOLO,3 TIMES ON THE FAITH TOUR,3 TIMES ON THE
COVER
TO COVER TOUR.THE BEST NIGHT WAS THE 23RD MARCH AT WEMBLEY ARENA
1991.IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY.MYSELF AND FOUR FRIENDS DIDNT HAVE
TICKETS BUT ALL
DECIDED TO GO DOWN TO WEMBLEY(3 HOUR DRIVE)AND TRY TO BUY TICKETS OUTSIDE. WE
PAID #75 PER TICKET AND TOTALLY
LOVED THE EXPERIENCE.ELTON JOHN TURNED
UP ON STAGE TO SING DONT LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME.THAT DAY WAS THE DAY THE
SINGLE WAS
RECORDED.GEORGE ALSO SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CONNIE FILIPELLO HIS
PRESS OFFICER BUT IT REALLY FELT AS IF HE WAS SINGING IT TO
ME.WHAT A
NIGHT.WE ALSO GOT TO MEET BANANARAMA AND SEAL THAT NIGHT.WHAT A BIRTHDAY EH?
(I'm assuming the Nana's were there
as guests of Andrew. But, yeah great
birthday! The closest I can get is that the Faith tour opened on my 13th
birthday. AG)
THE
NEXT TIME I SAW GEORGE AT THE FREDDY MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERT,WHERE GEORGE
WAS THE BEST OF THE WHOLE DAY.HE SHONE OUT THAT
DAY.THEN IT WAS AT THE
CONCERT OF HOPE AGAIN AT WEMBLEY ARENA. WHEN GEORGE STEPPED ON STAGE THAT
DAY,HE CONVERTED THE REST OF
THE CROWD THAT HAD ONLY GONE TO SEE SIMPLY RED
PLAY.WE WERE SAT WITH LOADS OF SIMPLY RED FANS,WHO WALKED AWAY SINGING
GEORGES
SONGS NOT MICK HUKNALLS.
HIS FIRST SONG OF THE NIGHT HE WAS NERVOUS AS HELL.YOU COULD SEE FROM HIS
ACTIONS AND EXPRESSIONS
,THAT THE WORLD WAS WATCHING HIM,AND HE REALLY DIDNT
LIKE IT.BUT THEN AS IF BY MAGIC,HALF WAY THROUGH THAT SONG ,HE CLICKED
MOMENTARRILY,AND
THEN RELAXED INTO IT.FROM THAT MOMENT ON IT WAS SHEAR
POETRY.HE COULD DO NO WRONG.HE WAS THE BOSS,AND HE KNEW IT.THE CROWD WERE
JUST
EATING OUT OF HIS HANDS.
(He's good at that... AG)
I GOT MY CAMERA TAKEN FROM ME BY SECURITY THAT NIGHT SO I COULDNT GET
ANY
PHOTOS.STILL NEVER MIND.
I ABOUT IT ALL NIGHT,BUT TRIED TO KEEP IT SHORT.
(Write more anytime!! AG)

found out through some reliable sources {that I might add are not GM fans}
that George has a ranch in Lexington. From what
I understand, it is VERY
secluded, of course, if you have ever been to Lexington, KY, you know that
all of the millionaire's
ranches are far away from the city and hard to see
from any road. I also found out that he usually attends the Kentucky Derby
in
Louisville every year and Keenland race track once in a while. Check it
out next time it comes around.
true: Does George not own a few race hourses? Makes sense... AG)
find out more information as soon as I can for my new
found YOGMAIL friends.
This is a magazine for dance music hipsters and DJs. In there, you will
find ads for remix services. Usually
they have anything from vinyl to
nowhere-else-found remixed songs. Since Fastlove is so hot in Euro, I'm sure
you can easily
find a version of it that you can't get ANYWHERE else. Cool
huh. I've ordered a few compilation CDs from these services and they

performance. They actually responded to me
(they never did before) and they
said that they don't know if they will air it. Which distresses me since I
don't have MTV. So
I'm wondering how long it takes for them to air something
from MTV. See, they
said that Oasis Unplugged will be aired in late
November or December...when
did they appear on MTV? Was it 6 months ago? Will I have to wait 6 months for
them to decide to
air GM? Or will they not air him at all since there is lack
of interest? Whoever gets Muchmusic, maybe you could write to them
(muchmail-at-muchmusic.com)
and ask nicely (don't want to offend them) to put on
GM unplugged sometime soon. Maybe if more people wrote in, they'll consider
it
and decide to show it.
reaming them for
mislabelling the members of Bananarama in some file footage.
I'm quite sure they will air it, but yeah, assume a 6 month wait
before they
air it. As usual, make a US pal to get a copy within a week. AG)

Hi, I don't post much but...
the video and we all know that George doesn't see himself as a dancer so how
could his dancing under the shower be
a spontanious impulse and still mesh so
well with the rest of the dancing?
liked George's new look but then look who she's married
too (they are still
