Hi There dears!!!
This is a little message for
all those who I probably won't get to see or
talk to anytime soon...
Just wanted to wish you all a very, very Merry Christmas
(or Happy Holidays,
if any of you don't celebrate Christmas) and a super-duper awesome NEW YEAR
1997!!! I hope you will be
blessed with your dreams and hopes over the next
year. Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you all during this
special
time of the year!
Loads and loads of hugs!

I have met George on numerous occasions between
1984-89. I would like to
think that there would be some form of recognition if introduced again.
If you have any
information which would prove of interest to me I would be
grateful.
(Fair warning, YM doesn't always prove of interest to
all... AG)

I
was wondering if anyone knows where abouts in England George lives? Anyone
got any clues?
(We know that he does reside in
North London's Hampstead Heath, but that's as
specific as I can get. AG)

Amanda,
Do you know when GM
new single will be released in the US?
(OH sure, now I have to check the archives...hang on a minute. Well , no
luck, which
leads me to believe that Alan would be my hero if he could
forward me a list of release dates that I could put on my calender...
AG)
If anyone is interested in getting the STW E.P. you might want to check

because yesterday I saw a copy in
the "import" section.

Amanda,
I
just want to thank you for your quick response of the mailing list. As a
new member it sure is great to see that there are others
out there who can
appreciate a "REAL" musician. I know I will enjoy being a part of this
group. I wish I would have
known about this 'Last Christmas', but I guess
better late than never.
(We weren't around "Last Christmas", but
I'm looking forward to wishing you
all a Happy Christmas for many years to come. Once again, welcome! AG)
Happy Christmas,

HI Y'ALL,
Is
it possible for someone to send me a HI-FI VHS recording of George
Michael's unplugged session on MTV? I did not get a chance to
see it when it
was on MTV. I would gladly pay for a copy. Thanks.................E-MAIL me
at Grego82068-at-aol.com
(I
don't have a spare original in hi fi, but maybe someone else does. I do
have a spare or to Careless Whisper. The tussle with Sony
left his talent in
aspic, neither diminished nor updated. Still, that's what happens when you
spend six years wrestling with
men in white wigs."
Not exactly praising him to the sky, are they? Oh, well...they still
included him, so that's a
bonus.
(IT may not be praise, but IT IS RESPECT! And that's a bloody rarity. AG)

light years apart from majority of other performers.

Hi
Amanda,
Hope you are enjoying the holidays.
I know this is "old hat" already and you probably have seen this,
but just in
case.... I saw this at the "CD Now" website in Music.News.Bytes
"Bryan Adams reportedly took
backstage pot shots at George Michael during the
MTV European Music Awards held last week. According to the MSN Totally Live
News
online wire, Adams was having a fit of "sour grapes" after losing the
Best Male Artist category to Michael, who
lip-synched his hit "Star People"
during the show. Adams performed "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me is
You"
live with his band. TLN reports that Adams did not keep his discontent
to himself; instead he muttered "in an audible
voice"
about Michael "miming the words" and allegedly made disparaging
remarks about Michael's sexuality. The service also
reported a rumor that
Michael attempted to take a swing at the mouthy Adams, but was restrained by
bodyguards. Calls to Bruce
Allen Talent Productions, the management firm
for Adams, were not returned. -- S.S. "
(George, I hope this is true. I
think he deserved to be knocked into line.
AG)
Please feel free to trash this if it has already been posted or if you have
already
seen this. I just thought that it would be very unyoggly of me not
to forward it!!!
(We've heard a bit, but this has some
new info. Thanks for ...)
