Hi all! My eyes are a bit tired from camping out at the computer trying to
go
through 3 months of mail, so I shall ramble very little.
Just a note, if you're leaving cyber space, drop me a line and tell
me to
unsubscribe you. If you cease to get YOGMAIL for more than 3 days, there are
2 possibilites, you have fallen victim to
the three strikes and you're out
rule, or your mail server is screwing up. Either way, let me know, and I'll
see what I can
do. I decided to mix up the membership roster a bit to get
certain accounts working again, which is why today's issue was
delayed.
AND AWAY WE GO...

Hi
Amanda:
You had asked what kind of car GM drives in the states? Well, he has two
cars that I have seen him in. They are
both Mercedes, in the color black,
and one has a personalized lisence plate. There were a couple of times that
I saw him in a
Range Rover, but have not seen that car in about 2 years.
(Thank you. AG)
I was delighted to here Anita's story (hope
I'm remembering correctly), about
having GM's hat! What a treasure! I have a treasure of my own to share - I
was given the
towel that GM used on stage by his limo driver Jay. I still
have it to this day!
I also wanted to let any GM fans know that
missed the Unplugged or could not
tape it that I would be happy to make anyone a copy who is interested since I
have two VCR's
hooked up. If anyone is interested, please just drop me a
line.
Nancy

Amanda,
I just read what everyone
has said about the Unplugged. I loved it. I guess
it's just weird because I had a very depressing week. Then, I saw the
Unplugged
and it just made me feel so good. Of course, now I want to see GM
in a live performance.
The Unplugged has reminded me of
why I am a fan. It prompted me to look
through my GM collection and just look back and reflect on life. It felt
really good.
Anyway,
about the remixes and other songs that I don't have...I haven't been
able to find the STW EP. Can someone help me? Also, I'd like
to get a copy
of "You Know That I Want to." I've never heard of it before, but if it is a
GM song, I want it.
(YM's
gonna run a contest offering the EP as a prize soon, you can enter
that. Failing that, who still knows where to get them? AG)
Thanks,
Amanda, for all you do,
(You are most welcome! AG)
April

Hello Amanda, nice to
here from you again.
I've missed yogmail and your offhanded sense of humour.
(Offhanded, and sometimes offensive... AG)
Although
I received Issue#66 Part2 this afternoon, I don't have Part1. Do you
think it could be re-sent? At your conveinience of course.
(Just
a note to explain to everyone affected. What happened was that one of
the lists failed to send because of an "unknown"
AOL subscriber. It happens
sometimes. AG)
Shelly Andrews comments on George were very moving and down to earth. All of
George's
fans should strive for this level of understanding in regards to his
music and life. Finally his fans are starting to clue in.
Thanks
Amanda. Talk to you soon.......James.......

For those interested, the Interview CD does not contain a recent interview,
rather
an old one with Andrew and George. It does have a nice color booklet
included.

waiting on confirmation from the UK.) My guess as to why not is because
George's contract was
only for two albums, and an Unplugged CD would be the
2nd. He would then be free to sign with another company. I don't believe
Geffen/DreamWorks
would want that to happen so soon, especially since they
haven't recooped their investment in him.
within 18 months, I guess the bosses said no. I don't think he will sign
with
another company, he'll just find a distributer for Fgean--possibly MCA
in NorthAmerica. And realistically, DreamWorks will never
get their money
back. He was just the biggest name they could get to lauch their label.
Right it off as "building
costs" I reckon. AG)
USA, they would
probably make more money if they wait until after the
Greatest Hits is released to release another album, since the GH will
probably
be very successful and bring George back into the limelight.
Oh well, as someone once said, that's what friends are for, right Bo? AG)
the John Norris interview, I felt George was being a real ass. But seeing
him as he was
speaking those words made all the difference. I think he was
being genuine and funny....so I must apologize to George! Forgive
me,
George?
and I guess maybe in text,
without those little raised brows and sly smirks,
stuff can be taken out of context. I still don't think you're totally wrong,
but
I have been looking within myself lately and come to the realization that
I can come across the wrong way sometimes too. AG)

Hi All,
time already. I am in awe. Doing this Unplugged was an
excellent idea and I
think that he came off very well in the interview. I agree with his "piss
off" comment, he has
as much right to a private, personal life as anyone
else. I really hope he releases an unplugged
album (and soon), it's
something of a hassle to play the videotape everytime
I want to listen to one of the songs. The advantage to that, though, is I
get
to watch him as well. I'm just dying to go to a concert, now more than
ever. A friend of mine here at school (also a huge GM fan)
insisted that if
he gives a concert in our area, that the two of us must go together.
more
friends of mine are fans of GM. We might have to start a fan club on
campus!

Hello
Amanda,
Somebody had asked what were the
other songs George had performed. The other
songs were Hand to Mouth, Older, Waiting for that Day, might be the reprise,
One
More Try and The Strangest Thing, If the Unplugged is officially released
they will probably be added to the set.

live. Once for the Faith Tour
and twice for the Cover to Cover tour. The last
time was in 1993 for Sting's Rainforest Concert. That was really cool because
aside
from singing Waiting for That Day and Freedom 84, unplugged, he sang
three songs with Sting. He sang backup on Sting's song
'Fragile' and then
they sang together 'We can work it Out' by The Beatles and 'Every Breath You
Take' . Awesome evening.
George and Sting would occasionally talk to each
other while some of the other artists were singing. At the end of the evening
they
were all on stage singing 'River Deep Mountain High' Lead vocals were by
Tina Turner, and at George's mike was...........Bryan
Adams.......kinda weird
huh?!?!?
