		<description>I live in Lansing, Michigan and I certainly wish that George would find it in his heart to add either East Lansing at the Breslin Center or Detroit at the Palace where he played a couple of times in the 80s to his calendar.  I can&#039;t afford to go out of state to see him with gas prices the way they are.  I would give just about anything to see him live again after 20 plus years.  I bought the three cd version of 25live last year! - I am suprised that it&#039;s not released in the stores over here...anyways it was great to see him on Good Morning America last week, but where is he on Oprah?  I&#039;m shocked that she didn&#039;t have him on her program again to discuss the tour, his new cd and upcoming book deal, not to mention Eli Stone and American Idol appearances. As for the negative posts I won&#039;t waste my breath because the uneducated people just can&#039;t help themselves with their stupidity.  I read that George is going to have a new studio cd coming after the tour.  I hope I don&#039;t have to wait another 20 years for the next studio cd!  One last plea:  George please don&#039;t stay away so long in the future for us American&#039;s.  We have put our Faith in you for a long time - for me it&#039;s been since I saw you and Andrew on American Bandstand in 1983. You&#039;re FANTASTIC!</description>

		<description>Hey GMT,

Working on collecting and destroying stockpiles of loose-nukes so that your
hated terrorists don&#039;t get ahold of them seems a fairly major accomplishment
and shows great courage and intelligence. Thank you, Senator Lugar as well.

George Bush has aided he terrorists at every (calculated) turn and has made this world a friggin&#039; mess . . . call me crazy all you like but sometimes it seems almost as if it&#039;s what he wants . . .

I&#039;m looking forward to President Obama&#039;s first 100 days. Too bad impeachment is still sort-of off-the-table.</description>

I actually attended last nights concert...and forget the political bs...this man ROCKED THE HOUSE...Better than he EVER sang and danced......Almost 3 hours and the man satisfied all walks of life.....And all were present......Why can&#039;t we just all GET ALONG....SENSIBLY ???

		<description>People, just because someone is a good entertainer does not mean they are very intelligent.  Voting for someone or something you know nothing about shows a lack of common sense, plus critical thinking.  This is how Hitler got into power.</description>

		<description>Gay marriage should be legal and this is coming from a married woman in NYC. Out with the darn republicans already.He&#039;s right about a few things he said last night at the concert. We do need a change already. This country has gone down enough. 
 I went to the George Michael concert last night and he was amazing. You&#039;re a rockstar George.</description>

		<description>I grow tired of people saying they would rather not hear celebrities use their influence to push their political opinion. It is dubious that if these people had the same amount of press they would not do the same thing.

Also, in my personal opinion, celebrities tend to have a little more knowledge when it comes to politics and the environment than the average voter. They spend more time in other cultures, in other environments, and have much more access to high political figures. 

I would much rather hear what these celebrities may have to say as opposed to some guy off the street who simply has an opinion because Fox told him so. Ditto heads.

As for Steve, you&#039;re an imbecile. I suggest you do your homework on statistics before sending out preposterous comments.

An Obama/Clinton ticket. Wouldn&#039;t think twice. They&#039;d have my vote in a NY minute!</description>

		<description>Steve, in this country, people are still able to express their views, such as you have done here. You are no longer in the majority pal. You&#039;re probably still upset that women can vote and African Americans are no longer considered property. The world is changing, get onboard or get left behind!</description>

		<description>Who gives a sh-- who Oprah, George Michael or Hanks supports for President. I think they are all mis-using their power- trying to influence the masses. We have become a nation of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. We act as tho we know these people. Reality TV...oh yeah! really real. IT IS NOT REAL FELLOW AMERICANS. When a candidate comes from nowhere and has done nothing and you vote him as our candidate for president. That is not REAL. We are a nation that can be sold a bill of goods just because it is different and and offers a change (or at least it appears to be).  Turn your TV&#039;s off for two weeks and really study the candidates. Not what the press or public opinion says about them. The press and politicians can market anything with good placed special interest money. A few million of us did not buy it.</description>
