The Good News and the Bad News
The good news is that after five days of publishing problems,
our webhost has finally fixed the error on the server. The bad news is
that in the interim, I wasn't able to publish news from GMFREEEK that
the "John
and Elvis" video was viewable at Yahoo! Music; it has since been
taken down. :-(

So, Michael Flatley, the Lord of the Riverdance,
What are You Listening to?
"There's a lovely album I came across the other
day by George Michael called Songs From the Last Century. It's
a bit of a throwback. He has a very tender approach to the album itself,
and 'Brother, Can You Spare a Dime,' the very first song, is gorgeous."

Goss are looking for yet another house. They'll be moving from their "swell

Killer Queen: A Tribute to Queen
In a review for
Killer Queen: A Tribute to Queen, the reviewer says:
On the whole, "Killer Queen"
ends up faring a little worse thanks to memories of the far more powerful
versions from 1992's "A Tribute to Freddie Mercury" concert
-- James Hetfield on "Stone Cold Crazy" and George Michael's
"Somebody To Love" to name just two, to say nothing of "Weird
Al" Yankovic's fantastic "Bohemian Polka."
