*****
And the moment you see me
I will live in your life
We will walk through my garden
I will see through your eyes,
I was in despair 'till she found me there,
Every grown man cries with his mother's eyes,
And when you're ready too,
She'll come back to you,
She's waiting,
Waiting ....
You'll see...

The Edge of Heaven


"... pop star GEORGE MICHAEL is eyeing a Christmas comeback following his stint in prison - he's releasing a festive single in December (10).
The former Wham! singer was jailed for eight weeks in September (10) for possessing cannabis and driving under the influence of drugs.
Following his prison term, record company bosses at Sony confirmed plans to re-release Michael's 1987 album Faith in January (11) - but it's now emerged the star is back in the studio working on new songs and is planning an assault on the Christmas singles chart.
He will re-release last year's (09) festive track, December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas), on 13 December.

Fantasy

You hang around with people who are sure to make you cry
I can make you happy if only for a while
Little baby oh, oh little baby
I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy
*****
Today your on my mind again, I just can't seem to shake you. Sometime it's a little obsessive, but you just won't go away, will you? Even as I'm walking the dogs on the mountain this morning; I have peace, tranquility and Freedom, but my mind is buzzing and I'm thinking about you. I can't live the dream, so I'm living the fantasy instead. It's a great place to be, there I can be anyone I want to be, and live the life I wish I had. And there, you can be mine.
I spent the afternoon distracting myself with Robbie, when that failed I decided to try Marc Almond's Tenement Symphony...that didn't work either. I ended up needing a fix, "Ladies and Gentlemen" it is then!
I guess you never lets me down, I guess your the one who's always there when I need someone. I'm know I'm blessed to have some fantastic friends, but in the dark of night when I'm feeling at my lowest they can't always be there for me, and you can. Well actually, there was one time recently when I couldn't feel your presence in my life, and my god I needed you then. But I guess I can forgive you for disappearing just the once in all these years. Strangely during "That week" in September it felt like you had been physically taken away from me. Sounds a little crazy but that week my whole life felt like it was falling apart. Was the fact that your life was in turmoil the cause of all my depression and tears, or was I using that as an excuse to cry out all the pain I was feeling because of my situation at home? I guess I don't really know, but it was more likely to be a combination of everything. One things for sure because of the gutterpress I spent sleepless night worrying about you then.
Tonight I wonder if I'll sleep or will you be there keeping me awake again? It won't be the first time that you've interrupted my sleep. How many times have I got up in the middle of the night to watch you on Sky? Though that wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I say you've interrupted my sleep! Awww don't go there now Mr Panayiotu....OK???
*****
It is kind of funny that you think that
I am the boy to make you cry
I can make you happy
If only for a while
Little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another Fantasy.

Like A Baby

Kenny Goss stands by his man, and his foundation's new emphasis

12:00 AM CST on Sunday, November 14, 2010
Alan Peppard apeppard@dallasnews.com
Contractors are scurrying to finish the 12,000-square-foot Goss-Michael Foundation art gallery in the Design District for its invitation-only opening party Thursday, while art preparators are uncrating massive works such as Damien Hirst's 10-foot sculpture Saint Sebastian.
'I don't think only rich people should get to see art,' says Kenny Goss. In the background is a work by Angus Fairhurst. The cacophony is an ashram of tranquility to locally raised collector Kenny Goss, who spent the fall in a maelstrom of one of Britain's biggest tabloid stories. On Sept. 14, Goss was photographed wiping away tears outside Highbury Corner Magistrates Court after his partner of 14 years, singer George Michael, was sentenced to eight weeks in jail for smashing his Range Rover into a defenseless Snappy Snaps photo shop in North London while under the influence of cannabis – not his first mishap with drugs, cars or the law.
Michael served 27 days, and Goss stood by his man. Then the Texan got on a plane to Dallas, where the two keep the bulk of their enormous collection of contemporary British art, reported in the media to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and where they have a home in Highland Park.......
Now over 50, Goss still looks like the fit University of North Texas cheerleader who became wealthy as an executive with Lawrence "Herkie" Herkimer's Cheerleader Supply Co. Finding a quiet spot in the former warehouse, he sat for some questions Tuesday.
In 2005, you launched this venture as a retail art gallery, then switched midstream to a private foundation promoting Young British Artists. What's up with that?
"First, it's what I was collecting. This amazing movement, the YBA group, was not even acknowledged here. There was not a single Damien Hirst in Dallas, and he is the most successful living artist in the world, if you judge it monetarily. [The Sunday Times Rich List puts Hirst's net worth at $345 million.]"

Isn't that how most people judge things?
"That's how many people judge things."

If you and George are privately funding the whole operation, then you really put the non- in nonprofit. Don't those bills add up?
"Yes, the bills add up, but it's not something we think about. George is the most generous man on the planet. I'm the materialistic one. But I don't think only rich people should get to see art. This way, kids can come and see this YBA art without having to be rich and go to New York or London."

Describe George Michael's input regarding the foundation.
"He has opinions, but he does the music. For the art, he trusts me. What he gives is 100 percent support and encouragement. I was working for Herkie Herkimer's company, and then we were bought out. George said, "Kenny, why don't you do something you've always dreamed of doing?" He gave financial support, but his real input was encouragement. He has never questioned for a second what I was doing, and I'm a working-class kid from Texas who had never been in a museum until I was 19. "

How often is George in Dallas and how often are you in London?
"I spend a lot more time in London. I spend a third of the year here. He's here probably a month out of the year."

Everyone can agree that George's car keys need to be melted into a paperweight. But he has shown dignity in an undignified situation by declining to do the celebrity talk show perp walk. In many ways, you are the more public of the two. How do you handle the downside of having a famous partner?
"It's not about me. I'm not famous. The constant paparazzi attention is not about me. One thing I like about Dallas is that there is no paparazzi. Do I wish he hadn't gotten in the car? Absolutely. I think that phone call to me, when he called and said it happened again, wasn't easy. But when you love someone, you support them through the good and the bad."

But when he got out of jail, you were the one forced to answer questions about whether he'd gone to rehab.
"Oh, that was just someone who'd shouted a question outside the house [in London]. It was surprising how quickly a month went by. I'm sure it didn't go that quickly for him. When someone you love gets themselves in a situation like that, you have an understanding of why it happened. George is my family.

Look, George is the most sweet, kind man I know. He would give his last penny to someone who needed it and not expect any public acknowledgment ......"

Fantasy



Simon Cowell and Jonathan Ross certainly made an unusual pair as they giggled like schoolchildren after meeting at George Michael's house.
But what appeared to just be a random evening together has now been revealed as the music mogul's first step in relaunching Ross and Michael's careers.
It has been claimed Cowell is planning to put together a one-off TV show which will see Michael give Ross an exclusive interview about his time in jail and his plans for the future.
'Basically, George will tell all, sing a few classics and remind people why he was a pop god, and Ross reclaims his crown as the man they all want to talk to. It will be a great one-off special.'
The television show is likely to be similar in format to ITV's current show Piers Morgan's Life Stories, which sees the former newspaper editor grill his guests about their most controversial issues.
And the one-off special will undoubtedly focus on Michael's career in recent years, as well as controversy surrounding his personal life.
