Found this in the same edition of "Time" that had the report on the Chad
Skull (July 22 2002)

Calm before the calm
Perhaps you failed to notice the angry townspeople with pitchforks, the
burnings in effigy, the heated debate on talk radio. Or perhaps you
merely failed to enter the fantasy life of singer George Michael, where
these images reside. The British singer said last week that he is afraid
to return to the home he shares with his partner in the US because of
controversy generated by his newest single "Shoot the Dog".
The song calls on British Prime Minister Tony Blair to stand up to the
militarism of George Bush's war on terror, while the animated video
portrays Blair as Bush's lapdog.
Despite Michael's best efforts to gin up controversy through numerous
interviews and press releases defending himself against nonexistent
charges of anti-Americanism, US umbrage has been largely undetectable.
What Michael should really fear about coming back to the US is the
violent indifference that will greet him (Michele Orecklin)
