George Michael Concert in Munich, Oct. 29, 2006 -- Shoot the Dog

[lebkuchen]

George Michael is touring Europe now to commemorate his 25 years as a performer, and the tour has been a stunning success. He doesn't even have to advertise.

Here's a shot of the opening of "Shoot the Dog." An inflated Bush is being serviced by Poodle-boy Blair on stage.



George Michael pulled on Blair's tail to try and pry Blair-as-poodle off Bush's member, and then he kicked Blair, an obvious commentary on Michael's view re: performing artists' right to free speech, per the Dixie Chicks, and the audience loved it. A second concert had to be scheduled the following night, the demand was so great.

George Michael, you rock! :yourock:

1. Come on! 100 people have viewed this post and not a single comment?

Do I detect American discomfort w/the BJ, even as it pertains to inflatables? :dilemma:

2. The reality of their joint venture is much more obscene than this depiction

but what it has wrought is not funny like the depiction.

3. Nobody in Europe likes either

nobody

4. Is there a video of the concert?

His cartoon-video for the song is one of my favorites. Great song.

5. I looked

and finally found this! I don't know if the concert has been video'd completely. Michael has been performing all over Europe. He's taken the tour to the UK now.

I had breakfast with one of Michael's accountants, and a back-up singer, at my hotel. They didn't like Bush or Blair, either. I'd like to think it's a prerequisite for employment on Michael's staff. :)

Have you seen Freedom?

I think it's been posted on DU already.
