US Calls For Michael To Quit

Americans have rallied to call on George Michael to be kicked out of the country over his controversial new anti-US single.

The British multimillionaire, who has homes in the US, has been slated coast to coast for Shoot the Dog in which he ridicles President George W Bush.

The star criticises America and close ally Britain for their war against terrorism and portrays Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair as gay lovers in the accompanying video.

The video jokes about the fight for freedom in the wake of the World Trade Center atrocity. Neither the song nor video has been released in the US over fears that George's career would be ruined.

'What a coward'

American radio stations have been bombarded with complaints from listeners who have managed to hear the song.

Popular American DJ Lisa Stanley summed up the feelings. "If he released that song here, he would be torn apart. What a coward," she said.

"He owes it to his fans here to show what he is really like, and with the current patriotic feeling here, I doubt his fans would be impressed."

'Safer toilets'

She added: "Do we really need to let him back in? Our toilets would be safer without him," referring to the singer being caught performing a sex act in a public loo in Los Angeles.

In Britain, radio bosses have refused to play the single on their airwaves but a defiant George hit back saying he was only expressing his concerns about the terror campaign.

"I would never knowingly disrespect the feelings of a nation which has suffered so much loss, so recently," he said in The Sun. "I am definitely not anti-American. How could I be? I have been in love with a Texan for six years."
