I'm quite interested in going to see George Michael with my sister when he goes on tour this summer. He's supposed to be playing two dates at Madison Square Garden, so it will probably work out. I am a little concerned that the tickets are going to be stupidly expensive though, and I'm not sure how much I want to spend on them. I have a feeling that he'll be using the fact that he's not done a US tour in something like 20 years as an excuse to charge a ridiculous amount of money for seats.

Now, even though I am well aware that it's not cool and barely acceptable it reveals once again that I have questionable taste in music, I am a big fan. I definitely would have been willing to go the extra mile $$$-wise to see this show, if not for the fact that I already did that when I went and saw him touring in Europe. Aliza and I went to Ireland in December of 2006 for a long weekend with my sister and her friend, and we saw the show in Dublin. It was probably one of the most fun concerts I've ever been to, but it might have exhausted my capacity to go "above and beyond" when it comes to making sure that I have a ticket to go and see him when he plays again. I dunno, we'll see...

I don't understand why "it's not cool and barely acceptable" to be a fan? I know he's done stuff in his past that were bad personal choices, but why should that sway your appreciation of his work? I'm still a fan of Woody Allen. And when he does something good again, I'll go see it. It's not like they were raping babies, well, bad example. But you know what I mean, they're only human.

Hm - maybe I wrote that wrong. I didn't mean I didn't think it wasn't acceptable to be a fan b/c he once got caught wanking in a men's room - I meant it more in that it seems like most people seem to think that his music is atrocious.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Either way, I am a fan of Woody Allen's too!

The good thing about seeing someone like George Michael is that even if his last album or so was bad, at least you know he's got a backlog of great stuff. Unless he's like Prince and decides not to play his old stuff. Then that's not so good.

"Father Figure" was the first Karaoke song I ever sang *cough* --I mean-- ATTEMPTED to sing.

I am a heavy promoter of George Michael at DEEP6 Studios and I get berated for it every time I turn him on.

I am taking Dean's side on this. George Michael is awesome, and inspiring to draw to!
