I guess I should warn you that AOL is having a world of problems, so the
sending
times of your YOGMAEL will likely be erratic for the next couple of
months. I may well transfer to another server for a while,
I'll keep you
posted.
I hope everyone got both parts of the Chris Evans interview, if not, please
let me know.
AND
AWAY WE GO...

Hello,
I
am new on this list, and I am very happy!!!
Now, I must ask you something, because unfortunately I haven't it yet... My
video
recoreded didn't start when on Mtv there was the fantastic GM
unplugged....
I don't want Hi-Fi version ( !) ... I will be very
very very happy with this
tape. I will send you back the tape, because I can dub it. If you like I can
recorder for you some
Mtv programs, ( where were trasmitted everything you
want) and an italian program, ( but it is in italian!). Thanks in advance
for
all the things you will do for me!!!! this list is great!
Ary
(IF anyone in Italy or Europe can help you, it might be
easier than having to
deal with converting a tape. But if no one can, I can arrange to loan you
one of my extras. Please let
me know. I'm glad you like the list. AG)
-It really really could happen,
When the days seems to fall trough you, just let

Hi,
Amanda, I am sitting here reading People Magazine's year-end issue and
they had the nerve to put "Older" in their
"Worst Of Song" category. Here's
what they say: "The Whamster hauls out a lumbering concoction (and a
Mephistophelian
new look) that leave you crying 'Younger! Younger!'" There's
a terrible picture of G with the caption "His long-awaited
comeback is
boring, with a bossa nova beat." My only consolation is that People Mag also
trashed Bryan Adams, saying
"the eternal adolsescent shtick is getting old;
please, Bryan, grow up." Anyone else see a contradiction between those
two
reviews? Happy New Year! Regards, Ann H.
(Well, I have since seen the picture my friend called "good", I'll be
slapping
her upside the head for her stupidity when next I see her. It's
from the Jesus to a Child shoot. I did find the contradiction
most amusing,
in fact, I have noticed Mr. Adams is starting to look more and more like
Alanis Morissette everyday...hmmm...

Dear
Friends,
Hi, I'm very sorry for delay. It is just that i'm so damn busy in my thesis
and time it really running out. Yes
I'm doing MS in Computer Science and
this is my last semester. Please give me 1 week and I will send you more
details about
postage cost, CD cost, of George Michael Unplugged. Actually I
record WAV file on CD so you can play only in any wave player on
your PC. You
can record it on audio tape from cd. If you interested to get that unplugged
in wav files just drop me a line
then i can make a copy for you.
(If anyone just wants on cassette, there is a far easier way. Hook your
stereo up to your
stereo TV set or VCR, if you need further instructions, e
mail me. I did mine the first time I watched it. I'm still looking for
a CD
though... AG)
Looking for your response

Hi Amanda!
(Hi Dave. AG)
Recently I asked my brother
who travels extensively and has made several
trips to London if he was familiar at all with Hampstead Heath and Edgeware.
Those
two areas in London being, respectively, where Mr. Michael makes his
home and where his father formerly owned his family's
restraunt. He did have
a few small details to pass on. He writes:
"I know the Edgeware area well. There is an area of
antique markets on
Church street just a few blocks north of the Edgeware tube stop. It is NOT a
nice area. Most of the local
population is of immigrant background and the
area is full of ethnic-cuisine restraurants. If that is where George's
father's
restaurant is, it is probably authentic cuisine, undoubtably
delicious, but probably doesn't have very clean table cloths , if
you know
what mean!"
(OH, mocking ethnic restaurants are we...oh well, we just sold ours
anyway...yes, I'm
unempolyed again... AG)
"Hampstead Heath is a ways outside of the city (north) and is known as one of
the most
beautiful parks in the city. It is a ritzy neighborhood. The rich
live in victorian row houses for the most part. The heath is
getting some
press right now because there are some bashings and muggings going on at
night, which is uncharacteristic for the
area. It is also well known for the
Sunday classical music concerts in the park."
My brother promises more details in
the future as he is spending the holidays
in London and will try to check out the areas further.

correspondent signing off...

Was
taping Unplugged again on Christmas day when my Dad sat down and after
about 10 minutes said "I'd rather see Burl Ives"
I said Dad he's dead, and
he said "Well, I'd rather hear him". Well - not to say that "A Little Bitty
Tear Got
ME Down" isn't in the same league as "You Have Been Loved", and not
to say that I can't appreciate "I'm too
old for toys and too young for women"
but let's face it - music has changed over the generations (Dad's 78) and
emotion
is IN - ditties are OUT. Guess now we have more time - not having to
bring in the crops, etc. But the old stuff is kinda
refreshing and light
hearted and I do have to admit old Burl has his charm and I can listen
without prejudice! Happy New Year

George asked that John to
do the interview for the same reasons we didn't
like John doing it. Being the control person our man is, he also either gave
the
questions asked or at the very least OK'd them. Now 'Bare' in mind, this
is only my opinion
I've gotta say one more thing
here. The drug thing...I wonder if it's
what he would have us believe. It's kind of like with 'Bare'. He wanted to
shock us

Real shocker. I'm not so naive as to think he doesn't use
drugs, etc. but I
question the extent. Also while we are talking about his use we are not
talking about his sex life. Or so he
might think

FOR YOGMAIL
You probably
know this already, but George is releasing "Older" on January
6th with Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love
Me" on the B-Side (not a live
version, but studio recorded). I'd never heard the song until recently, but
now its popping
up all over the place - a version of it is also on TAFNA
Prince's recent Emancipation Triple-Lp. George's version is much better
though...
