Hot in the City: George Michael – 25 Live Tour

press contingent, but can’t scoop myself here too badly as I’m writing

Patrick Stewart on my “things that get better with age” list.

25 live = 25 years of performing. If you want to read more about it, click here.
That’s almost as long as I’ve been alive, so I gotta give the guy some
blog love right here. In fact, every time he came to my side of the
