Even Guilty Feet Will Get Some Rhythm on July 27th

georgemichaelSo, I don’t know what your plans are for July 27th, but chances are you’re not heading to the TC Banknorth Garden to see George Michael, because tickets, which run in the $45-$150 range (plus service fees!) don’t seem to be selling out with any great speed, despite the fact that it’s his first US tour in about twenty years.

Of course, it probably doesn’t help that interviews about the tour go something like this:

 Critical of his own work, Michael believes his U.K. tour was “too much of a party to represent what I’ve done.”

That means hits Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go) and I Want Your Sex are out. “I’m too old,” he says. “But they’ll get Careless Whisper, which I don’t particularly enjoy singing.”

But, I don’t know.  I kinda want to go.  I mean, I never pay more than $25 to go to shows, but even if it’s all “Fastlove” and terrible facial hair and unfortunate sunglasses and dancy singles from 2004, how can you not expect an awesome performance from the man that brought you this song and this song and my favorite song ever to do at karaoke and this song and even this song and my other favorite song ever to do at karaoke and  not so much this song but definitely the video.
