Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Concert
Filed Under Concerts | 8 Comments
Angelo found the following on a Led Zeppelin web site:
Robert Plant is scheduled to appear on June 27, 2008 at London’s Hyde Park for a concert celebrating Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday.
What is interesting about this article is that “Robert Plant *and special guests*” will perform. Of course, this is mere speculation as to whom these special guests might be.
Also scheduled to perform in London are Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart, Bono and The Edge, Bryan Adams, Eminem, Eric Clapton, John Mayer and Buddy Guy, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Jools Holland, Joss Stone, Keane, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Lenny Henry , Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel, Queen with George Michael, Paul Rodgers with Robbie Williams, Razorlight, Roger Waters, Sheryl Crow, Spice Girls, Sting, Tina Turner, Vusi Mahlasela and Will Smith.

Eli Stone Finale Tonight
Filed Under Eli Stone | 9 Comments
Here’s just a reminder that the finale of “Eli Stone” is on tonight and make sure not to miss George Michael. Although the show still hasn’t been renewed for a second season, I’m sure we’re all hopeful to see more of George Michael in the U.S. next year. I’m including a few of the recent articles on “Eli Stone” and George Michael:
Which all leads to one last production number, one last vision of George Michael, and one last demonstration of how to juggle show-stopping whimsy and unabashed heart in a thoroughly winning package. This episode also is a perfect example of how to end a season when you’re not sure the show itself has a future. It leaves you hanging in all the right ways, convincing you there is much more story to tell even as it satisfies you that it has told the introductory chapter and wrapped it up as well as humanly possible.
Is It “Do Not Resuscitate” For Eli Stone?
I can’t say that the initial moments of its debut episode made me especially optimistic — a lawyer has hallucinations about George Michael? — but I’ve ended up enjoying Eli Stone, which ends its season tonight. ABC gave it 13 episodes to prove itself, and while its ratings were pretty iffy (it really only scored when following the season premiere of Lost and the post-strike premiere of Desperate Housewives), I’d much rather see a second season of George Michael music than, say, the renewed and dullsville Private Practice.
Eli Stone hauls out the big cliffhanger for its season finale, as the title character undergoes surgery to have his brain aneurysm removed. The episode touches on right-to-die issues as Eli falls into a coma, where he sees God, who looks a lot like George Michael (the singer has been popping up in Eli’s hallucinations all season).

According to Billboard:

Here are some of the reactions to George Michael’s performance on “Eli Stone.”
George — he told me to call him George — does a good job in this role. I hope they follow-up on this relationship in future episodes, as the strange connection between Eli and George seems to have been cemented tonight; it was a dream, or sleeping vision, that led George to Eli. Maybe George is going to be plagued by visions of Eli giving closing arguments in court or something to help him decide what gigs to take and what songs to sing.
George Michael on “Eli Stone”: Watch Without Prejudice:
So I was pleasantly surprised to see that here Michael gets ample screen time, is at ease on camera, and has the opportunity to talk about something other than toilet sex. In fact, he acts as something of a moral compass for the episode. …
The most notable thing about the episode is that Michael is presented as a hero. All we’ve heard about him Stateside for the past few years are his run-ins with the law and some questionable out-of-context soundbites, and it’s nice to see him playing an intelligent, sensitive benefactor. I don’t think that there are many people who don’t know that Michael is gay at this point, and the show seemed determined to move past the sensational aspects of his coming out and present him as a man of considerable character.
‘Eli Stone’ Recap: George Michael Comes to Town is a summary of the episode but gives you an opportunity to say what you thought about George Michael’s performance.
‘Eli Stone’: Fan Boy, anyone? is another summary of the episode and gives you a chance to comment about whether you’d buy tickets to see George Michael in concert.
(I apologize for the delay in posting. I haven’t been feeling very well and haven’t had a chance to post before now.)
