I mean, another word for "labels" is "adjectives." Labels are just shorthand ways of describing something. When I fill in a form that requests my occupation, I usually put "Systems Analyst." Well, there are a few hundred different things a "systems analyst" could do, but it's descriptive enough to give someone an idea of what I do for a living (computer stuff). I could give them my actual title (something-Scientist/something-Engineer Grade-something), but that would be a waste of time, since it means nothing to anyone outside my company. I could give them a descriptive title (Network Messaging and Directories Engineer), but that's probably more than they care to know. "Systems Analyst" works nicely for me. Other labels I give myself: lesbian, music-lover, news junkie. There is nothing wrong with labels, *per se*. It's all in how you use them. In the case at hand, there was a question NOT of how to label Julie, but rather of how Julie labels herself (i.e., how she self-identifies), and I see nothing wrong with that.

I've been thinking about it, and I really think that we may have stumbled upon something here. I am, admittedly, a VERY new fan. I only started really listening to MLE a little over a year ago (*GASP!*), when I sort of stumbled upon YIA. Within the same week, I went right out and bought YLS. I was HOOKED, to say the least. Over the past year I've gradually acquired, in order: NE, then B&C, then just this past week, I *finally* got it together and bought ME (the infamous RED album!). (certain nasty ppl, who shall remain nameless (or m-a-y-b-e not...Patti :P ) labelled me "forever ignorant" until I had listened to the RED album... Ok, ok! I finally see the light!) Although I had already become familliar with a lot of the songs on ME due to concert boots and such. I definitely think that by not listening to the albums as they were released, I really missed out on a lot. I mean, I didn't get to see MLE's development as an artist *as* it was happening...instead I must listen to my (now complete) collection and pick out the differences as I hear them today. I honestly believe this makes a huge difference. A few months ago, before I had heard much of her earlier work, I would have easily replied that YIA was my hands-down fav album. I can't say that anymore. Picking WHICH album is my fav is pretty difficult. I can pick favourite songs from each, but narrowing it down to one album is impossible for me, at the moment. Fortunately, I've got a five disk player at work, so there's no need for difficult choices. Ahh..life made simple...just the way it should be for a (new-ish) die-hard MLE fan! Anyway, just my opinion...anyone else find themselves in a similar situation? Oh, and while I'm venturing out to post, I wanted to send out a big BIG **THANK YOU** to all those Melisters who volunteered for my friend's survey on internet dating. She's been completely overwhelmed with replies, and she sent me a wonderful little email today telling me just how "fantastic and helpful all friends have been". Thanks so much everyone! She couldn't have completed her research without you! And now, off to study... bec. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Apr 1997 00:04:03 -0600 From: "Patty Kolakowski" Subject: *etheridge* Joyce's book Hi, I ordered Joyce's book from the publisher, which came in about three days. I like the cover photos. It kind of represents her "Look" from the start of her recording career to the present. Of course the pictures inside are almost worth the cost of the book by themselves. I also can appreciate the research that went into it. I did have a problem with prose being interrupted by the acknowledgment of the source. Of course, I don't know the legalities of this, but it did kind of break up the train of thought.

Someone suggested I buy B&C. Now this was a straight person who was sure in 90-91 that ME was gay and knew I was and decided I needed to know about this person. I loved the album and played it for everyone and could never get anyone interested. Finally I gave it as a gift to an old gf and she said she loved it and did I have the red album. So she bought me the red album and I loved it just as much and at least now had 2 cd's to listen to. (I think this mutual admiration thing had to do with the *old gf* part huh?) Anyway, end of story until YIA came out. A friend who I had tried desperately to get to listen to B&C told me I had to hear YIA. I told her this was the same person I tried to get her to listen to! She said, I know, but I like this better. So I decided I had to buy this cd. In looking through my albums one day I noticed I had already bought it. Now, is that sad or what?? I did not know about NE until I was introduced to YIA and started paying attention again. Now I'm never NOT paying attention. In fact, I find I'm really out of it music wise because ME is all I want to hear. I have no idea which album is my favorite. I recently drove 6 hrs to Florida and played each one in order of release then the live stuff. Great fun.

I am to understand that Melissa and the family is doing very well and that Melissa is learning to change diapers. One of life's great joys..... ;-) Also, I am to understand that filming of the Janis Joplin biopic is to commence July 5. Melissa's next album will be a live collection of Janis hits to be recorded in concert for the movie. The album's tentative title is, aptly, "Piece of My Heart." It will probably come out before the movie is released; but it all depends on Island Records' release schedule....right now they are shooting for a spring 1998 release of the album. As for the film, it is scheduled to be released in summer 1998 (not this winter as has been reported in some places). It will have plenty of live concert segments. The rumor about the Monterey Pop Festival performance being shot this month is just that: *a rumor.* Apparently the reporter in Variety mixed up his dates when he wrote the story about the film. This concert is to be held in July or August; at least that is the current plan. There is no set date. And that's all I've heard for now. I'm not quite sure I can wait a whole year for the next album, but we'll all just have to buck up somehow!

This passage in particular caught my attention: > MLE does not benefit (IMHO) from >great lyrical depth or musical innovation, and over the course of her five >albums her range of expression has been limited. What she does have are a >fine sense of pop songcraft, a distinctive and comforting musical sound, and a >set of lyrical concerns (love, loneliness, separation and heartbreak) that >are universal in their basic appeal. How long, then, can MLE mine the same >territory and still be interesting? My answer would be just short of a >decade. I agree with Mike that MLE (as much as I like her) doesn't have a great lyrical depth, or even a wide range of topics or (or a strong vocabulary for that matter) when it comes to her songs. Her main themes of: discovering new love, memories of old loves, jealousy, breaking up, etc., (while they're certianly universal themes), are growing kind of stale for me... Like Mike, I keep waiting for her to move on, to evolve. I'd like to see her seek out a more mature, more global perspective and start writing songs more in keeping with her life experinces now, i.e., from the perspective of a mid-30's adult/new parent. I don't want her to keep recycling stuff that she experienced for the most part at least eight years ago (before she and Julie settled into their relationship). Jen and I have also noticed that (again as much as we like her), MLE is not an overly articulate person. For example, at the concerts I've been to, I've found that, as long as she's speaking from scripted lines in between songs, she's fine. But when MLE starts talking "off the cuff," she seems to have difficulty completing her thoughts or getting to the point of her stories. During her VH-1 Roots of Rock-N-Roll special from '95 (I think it was '95) as another example... when MLE was introducing her cover of Me and Bobby Magee and she was trying to explain to her audience the impact Janis Joplin had on her, she started sentences, stopped, re-started, circled around, and then just kind of gave up and started singing... She did the same thing when she introduced her cover of Joan Armatrading's song, The Weakness in Me, a little earlier in the program. MLE seems to meanders around a subject and many times she ends up leaving her thoughts unfinished. Her sentences just kind of fade off midway thru and the listener is left hanging. Julie, otoh, strikes me as a very articluate, well-read, intelligent woman. I was especially impressed with how she expressed herself during the recent 20/20 interview. I wonder if part of this difference in MLE's and Julie's ability to articulate their thoughts stems from their level of education or interest in acedemics. Julie has a college degree in film-making, right? And from everything I've read (which does not include Joyce's biography as of yet... which reminds me, does anyone have the phone no. to Thunder Road Books? Jackie are you out there??), MLE was not the most dedicated student. I'm not trying to make a generalization here that people who go to college are always more articulate. However, I do believe that the more well-read a person is; the more interest a person takes in the world around them; and the more time someone devotes to thinking about "stuff" outside of what directly affects them, the more apt they are to have a wider array of subjects to talk about. (Or to write songs about...) Maybe while MLE is taking time off to spend with Julie and Bailey, she could consider delving into some of the classics, taking a philosphy course or two just for fun, reading the daily newspaper, anything that may provide her with some new ideas for songs. (Geez, maybe I shouldn't have had that second cup of coffee, huh?)

I *really* didn't like NE at first. I liked 2001 because it was very different (most others I know of hated that song at first, for the same reason). It's definitely uneven, though. The classics you refer to are, I imagine: AIH, 2001, maybe DWS, MBCFM, MMITB, KIP. On the other hand, my cut of songs I really like is: AIH, 2001, PYH (I'm really bummed that TLG won out over PYH for the concert-ending slow song). Songs I don't care much for are DWS, MMITB, TBFS, TLG, and IFY. The rest I'm indifferent to. > YLS is a different matter. MLE is no longer a remotely "new" artist--this is > her fifth album.

For me, that is somewhat true, but I also don't think YLS uses the formula as effectively as on my favorite MLE CD, B&C. But that could just be because of the effect you describe next: > I think it would be a rare thing to find listmembers who have listened to each > MLE album as it was released and believe YLS to be the best, or even close to > the best.

B&C was the first I owned, and I wore it out. But when I went to buy the debut, I liked it nearly as much. Since then, YIA has settled in at 3rd, NE at 4th, and YLS as my least favorite MLE effort.

You were meant for me (duet with Jewel) 7. Bring Me Some Water 8. Maggie May (what the hell, I like the song) 9. I'm the Only One ! 10. Any damn love song that I can play as my wedding song, please! 4. What ingredients would Ben & Jerry put in an ice cream flavor dedicated to MLE and what would its name be? -name: Bring me some more! ingredients: chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! 5. What singer is least like MLE? -It has to be the damn Spice Girls - boy are they shallow! Well, just my responses to some interesting questions.

I am taking an English course now and labelling and Essentialism is one of the main things we are talking about - so figure I would throw my 2 cents in on this. I guess I would have to say that I agree with the original post. Deb said that labels were just shorthand ways of describing something - if they were restricted to just that, then I would be ok with labelling. However, I think rather than labels describing one aspect of a person, they end up describing the whole person. For instance, the gay/straight/bi labels. That label should just mean that I am attracted to/sleep with/want to sleep with (or whatever) with a man/woman/or both - but people don't limit it to just that. When most people hear the label "gay" they assign all kinds of characteristics to the person, many of which have absolutely nothing to do with sexual orientation. I disagree with Robert's statement that there can be no meaningful dialogue without labels. Why do I need to have a label in order talk or relate to you (you in general, not specifically you Roger)? I am a special, unique person as is everyone out there and if you and I have a connection then what does it matter whether I am gay or straight, male or female, black or white, systems analyst or student... I guess my main concern is that rather than labels being useful groupings of people they become ways to deindividuate people - which is the best way for stereotypes and isms (racism, sexism, etc.) to continue on. That's just my opinion.

I mean, I didn't get to see MLE's development as an artist *as* it was happening...instead I must listen to my (now complete) collection and pick out the differences as I hear them today. I honestly believe this makes a huge difference. (...) Anyway, just my opinion...anyone else find themselves in a similar situation?> Hi Rebecca and listers, I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I first heard ME back in '89, BMSW and LTWID which they used to play on the radio occassionally. Wasn't a fan yet. I guess in '93 I stumbled over the RED album at a friend's and got hooked. I bought the RED one and all the others in chronological order. By pure coincidence since the record store had just the one album at the time I bought it. So I listened to ME in *chronological* order without paying attention to that or really realizing. But I think it's a difference if you hear the work of let's say 5 years in maybe two months or if you've been a fan since '88 or maybe even before and listened to the albums as they came out. You're much more aware of the changes/growing she's made over the years or maybe you even think there is not that much growing/change anymore. I'm glad Deb brought up this topic and I thought about it if I wanted ME to change her *style* like other artists have done. There's a typical ME sound (one YLS reviewer said: *the typical Melissa Etheridge schmaltz* - she wasn't to fond of the album obv.). I don't think it's schmaltz, not at all, and the *ME sound* is on all of her albums, of course. But still, I think all of her 5 are very different, and even if the songs deal mostly with love, or unrequited love, breakup or the fear to be left alone, I DO appreciate how she can express these feelings. Deb wrote . Here I don't agree at all. Sometimes I even care more about the lyrics than about the music (in general - not only with ME). And here she's ranking #1 among my favorite artists. And she perfectly writes the right music for the lyrics or vice versa. I don't know her from her beginnings and the *old fans* might have a different opinion, but I see a lot of changes and growing and I'm curious what will be next. I don't have a fav album. Changes weekly. At the moment I listen to *Royal Station* on the 1994 bootleg *Live in Montreal* which I think is a killer. ME could learn to play lead guitar like John Shanks that would be something. She's got some time now, maybe should put her headphones on though. And one last thought. I read in an interview that she said she didn't think her previous albums had not been as good as YIA and that selling more than 5 mio of YIA probably also had to do with her coming out, being all over the news and people simply checking her out for the first time. And now she has YLS and she's back to selling around 1(?) mio. Maybe she'll never again sell 5 mio or more - I don't care. As long as she will continue to play and record, that's fine with me. I only had the chance to see her live twice (poor me!). I went with people who were not fans at all, but simply like to see a good show and they were like *Wooooooaaahhh*. And talking about declining concert attendance in the US: her '96 concerts in Germany were sold out and more people saw her that time around than ever before (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!). Gee, enough now! Martina - who's the proud owner of a February 1996 ME concert ticket at *Cologne Sporthalle* saying *Ticket # 1* (!!!) And still I didn't manage to stand in front row.

Just a thought about why it went platinum here (ie Canada) Yes it is. The requirements are based on population. And last time I checked the population of Canada was 1/10 that of the US. Thus the requirements are 1/10. How many albums have gone diamond (1 million copies) in Canada? How many more albums would go gold and platinum in the US if the requirements were what they are in Canada? The albums sold better PER CAPITA in Canada because of airplay and marketing. The liklihood of selling AS MANY albums as in the US isn't that good. One more comment on the Junos. The year that Melissa won the award the other international awards went to Milli Vanilli and Jive Bunny (or maybe it was The California Raisins - who can tell the difference?). I think it's significant that she was the only *real* person to win an international Juno that year.

First, I have to say that the two experiences, the IG concert on Friday night and the MF show on Monday couldn't have been more different. One was an intimate experience in a friendly (well, mostly...more on that later) coffee shop, the other a big-venue disaster. The IG concert was held in absolutely the worst venue I have ever been in. I had bought my ticket figuring that the show would be at the Alder theater in Davenport IA, which seats about 2400. Instead, the promoters chose to hold it in the exhibition hall across the street, because they could squeeze in an extra 600. Unfortunately, this place is a huge rectangular gymnasium-like building with absolutely the worst acoustics imaginable. And to make it even worse, the venue was set up like a football field with the stage placed at the 50 yard line, and the seats placed lengthwise in straight rows from end zone to end zone. People with first row seats in the side sections had the worst seats in the house, with their views blocked by the towers of speakers on either side of the stage. Plus, the floor was absolutely flat, and the stage too low, so visibility, even for those in the center sections, was horrible. I had what should have been a great seat, 12th row, almost dead center, right in front of Amy's side of the stage. Once the music started and 9:30 pm, after a too-long opening act (Indigenous - a Stevie Ray Vaughn wannabe) and a 30 minute intermission, everyone in the side sections rushed into the aisles and toward the stage, while those of us in the center section were told to stay seated. I ended up only being able to see Emily's side of the stage for the few songs where we were able to stand. I actually found myself getting angry over the seating arrangements, and judging by the flame war that's erupting on the IG list between those that had center seats and those that had side seats at Davenport, I gather that I'm not alone. Anyway, despite the horrible acoustics, the IG were in their usual, good form, but not the best I've seen them. This was an almost all acoustic show. They played most of their new songs, minus Chiapas Bound. Instead, they substituted Strange Fire into the set list to satisfy an audience request, which was one of the highlights of the show. Other highlights for me were Emily's "Everything in it's own time" and "Leeds". I also enjoyed "Shame on You" and "Get out the Map", which they had changed since I heard them at NFF. Very good, but I liked the other versions a little better. Fashion Report: Amy was wearing a black and orange print shirt and black polyester pants. Emily was wearing black jeans (I think - didn't get a good look) an orange over-shirt and a red tshirt that had a big blue "e" on it with a white border. Amy mentioned something about getting new tshirts that day - I guess she got one with an "a" on it but chose not to wear it. Guitar report: They had the usual assortment of Martins. Amy has a brand-spanking new, smaller-bodied Martin 12 string (even the pickguard is scratch free - I wonder how long that will last :) ) I was close enough this time to get a good look at her famous black Martin, and could see where it had been repaired from the mishap on the "Boys on the side" set. There's a big section down the middle of the back that has been replaced, but not refinished. Emily also played a sunburst stratocaster on a few songs that I'd never seen before, and has taken up the piano. And a warning for all of you seeing them in the next few weeks - Emily's also wielding a banjo these days ;) Neither of them was very talkative. They did mention reading new reviews of the new album (one of which called it "Shaving of the sun", which Amy said she liked better than the original title because of the deep symbolic feminist message :) :) ) and jogging down the Mississippi bike path in Davenport. They only played for 90 minutes, though, which is considerably shorter than other IG concerts that I've attended. They did let two Augustana students join them on stage for Closer to Fine, which is no longer their final encore. This time they closed with Bury my heart at wounded knee. The MF show on Monday was fantastic, and was probably the weirdest concert experience of my life. Unlike the airport hangar where the IG played, the venue for the MF show on Monday night was a tiny coffee house about a 2 hour drive away, in Des Moines, Java Joe's. This is the same place she played at when I saw her last July, which of course didn't keep me from getting lost on the way there AGAIN (anyone going to Des Moines, be aware that they have *two* 4th streets :{) Anyway, I missed the first 15 minutes because I was driving around in circles. But it was worth the drive and the frustration, and since MF was on stage for well over 2 hours, I definitely got my money's worth (the cover charge was $1 :) ) There were probably 60-70 people there at most, a much smaller crowd than last July's show. Since I got there late, I grabbed a seat in back. MF was absolutely *on* that night. She performed a lot of new material, along with stuff from the first couple of albums. Most of her first set was taken from albums 1 and 2, and the second set was mostly a mix of stuff from Willing to Wait and her new cd, with a couple of songs that were too new to be on the recent CD. She was in a fantastic mood, too, which was a dramatic change from her last show at Java Joe's when she seemed unhappy almost to the point of desperation. She told lots of really corny jokes on stage and kidded with the crowd (people were snapping pictures of her throughout the show, and at one point, she pulled out her camera and took a picture of us, promising to put it in her next album.) She talked a little about how she wrote some of the songs she played (she has a new "train" song that has a similar feel to it as RS 4/?) She also told us about how she came to play at Java Joe's regularly, that it was a special place for her and how much she really liked the town. Fashion Report: White polo-type shirt and black pants (possibly polyester, definitely not leather) Guitar report: Once again, she played the beat-up old Takamine cutaway dreadnought with the hole in the top that she used the last time I saw her. This time she broke a string in the second set, and pulled out her back-up guitar, a custom Taylor grand concert cutaway with some sort of soundhole pickup (drool...my dream guitar...I think I saw this in it's case at the July show and reported it as an 812C, but this one had some fancy inlay work on the fingerboard that I've never seen on an 812C). She talked a little about her guitars before she started playing this one. She mentioned that she'd had the Takamine for ten years, and never really played another one. A friend had bought the Taylor for her (do they need any more friends? ;) ) and that she could never afford something like that guitar herself (it's probably worth about $3K at least). She said that it sounded good, but different, and that she didn't necessarily like it. And she did sound very different playing this instrument. It had a much smoother, less percussive sound than the Takamine. Well, I enjoyed it, even if she didn't =) Personal note: The second set is when it started getting weird for me. I'm generally the type of person who fades into the woodwork. Not on Monday. :( At about 8:30, she took a break, and a large part of the crowd left. I was able to move up from the back and grab a table next to the outside wall in the front row, about 7-8 feet from where MF was standing. This proved to be a *bad* move on my part. Once the music started, the couple that had been sitting next to me left, and a *very* drunk man grabbed the chair next to me. He offered to buy me a drink, and I refused. He offered three more times, punctuating it by tapping on my shoulder, and getting louder and louder every time I said no. I finally ended up leaning away from him, waving my arms and mouthing "NO" in an exaggerated gesture, before he finally got up and left. The whole exchange was actually really unnerving. When he finally got up to go buy himself a drink, the people at the next table offered to let me sit with them if he came back. I assumed he had gotten the mesage and was gone, so I said no, which was to prove to be bad move #2. Anyway, the weird thing was that when MF finished the song she was playing, she played one that I had never heard her play before. I didn't catch the title, but it was about a woman in a bar, getting hit on aggressively, and how demeaning it was. I don't know whether it was just coincidence or whether MF observed the whole exchange, but still, I was *really* glad to hear that song at that point, and was caught between the emotions of embarrassment, anger and nervousness over the incident and the feeling of "wow, I think she's playing that for me!" Unfortunately, it wasn't over. The guy came back about 20 minutes later, even more drunk than before, and started up again with me. This time he was very aggressive and very loud, poking at my shoulder and shouting. I finally turned to him and growled "LEAVE ME ALONE". I had no idea how loud I said it, but I was sitting directly under the PA speaker, and in order to hear MYSELF say it, I'd probably said it loud enough for the whole place to hear. And this time I know MF heard me, because I saw her out of the corner of my eye swivel around on her stool and stare in my direction as the words were leaving my mouth. (I'm glad to say she didn't miss a beat, despite my distraction) At this point, I grabbed my coat and was about to beat a hasty retreat out of the venue and go crawl under the nearest rock when the manager came over and escorted the guy out. :) I was able to stay for the rest of the show, and afterwards thanked the manager. He mentioned that he saw the guy come in after the show had already started, drunk, and knew it was going to be trouble, but couldn't throw him out until he actually did something. It just had to be my bad luck to be the one to end up next to him in the first row. Anyway, despite it all, I had a great time. It was well worth the 4 hour round trip. Melissa Ferrick is really a joy to see, and if you get a chance, go. I picked up a sheet with her upcoming tour dates - tonight in Chicago - and if anyone wants them, email me. She also has a new album out that's available through Hidden Water. She was supposed to have them for sale on Monday, and I had brought money to get one, but there was a Fed Ex snafu, and she didn't have them with her, so I can't tell you anything about it.

I simply feel I must post on this one. I originally got "exposed" to ME by my now ex-wife around 2 1/2 years ago...right around the time of YIA. I had never really heard of her, but my wife was a major fan, and was constantly playing YIA and B&C, and I got hooked. When we split last year, she kept the CDs (waaaaaaaaaaah!), and I was left Melissa-less. After I got a new job (I was forced to move), and managed to get back on my feet, my first act was to rush out and buy a copy of B&C, followed by YIA. The craving satisfied, I began to wonder what else she had....so I bought the rest. I can see why people say you don't know sh*t until you've heard the RED album...I love it! As for a fave, I don't really have one...gee, sounds familiar huh? :) I could pick fave songs off each album (Bring Me Some Water, You Can Sleep While I Drive...etc etc etc) but to pick a favorite album would be like asking a parent to pick a favorite out of 5 children...you don't love one more than the other...you just love them each differently.

I'm still trying to catch up on all of my email after being out sick for so long. Anyway, I understand (from their webpage) that VH1 will rebroadcast the 1994 and 1995 VH1 Honors shows this weekend. The 1994 show will air on Sat., 4/5, from 1-3pm EST. The 1995 show will air on Sun., 4/6, from 1-3pm EST. The question is, was Melissa part of the 1994 or 1995 show? I thought it was in 95' - but I've never seen it, and I want to be sure I tape the right show on the right day !

Just listening to TBFS last night and talking about it with my woman...somebody mentioned that it was about Lou DP...is it about him from ME point of view, or ME writing about Julies point of view? And is it true that there was even some discussion about it possibly being about her father? That doesn't really make any sense to me, but... also, what do ya'll think (you've probably already discussed this...I dunno how long the list has been around) about the story behind DWS...I mean, is she dancing and wants to keep on dancing cuz she doesn't want to sleep either 1) because sometime when you are having relationship problems you just don;t wanna go to sleep cuz you know that you'll think about that person 2)because if you go to sleep that means you have to wake up, and the day after a break up is hell 3)she doesn't want to sleep alone cuz it sucks to sleep alone if you ahve been sleeping with someone 4) she just likes to dance?

A label is inadequate, all by itself. It needs background, and it needs meaning. I neglected to provide that. The result was a thread that certainly didn't please anybody. First, let me be very logical. "A person who makes sex/love with people of both sexes, or who wants to, is a bisexual." Although this is clean, clear label, some of you Listers doubt that it works. So next, I'll hedge -- in my opinion: "Your feelings are much more important that your outward actions". I used myself (silly me) as a model. In my case, the label is accurate, and my feelings agree. In Julie's case, I don't actually know her feelings. I've tried to research her quotations, but the libraries I can access don't keep 'Out' and 'Advocate', I don't know where else to look. I've read that Julie "wasn't attracted" to women before, but that's not enough to rule out anything. So *on the evidence* I can stick my label on poor Julie. But *the truth* is -- only Julie knows. ------oOo------ Why did this label, "bisexual", seem so objectionable to you Listers who objected? I have the same problem, where I live, too. Why? because bi's aren't really gay, and aren't really straight? Because bi's can change and shift, which is the worst kind of label? ------oOo------ I apologize to Julie for sticking a label on her. I apologize to the List for using a bare label without backup. But bi is beautiful, so in future, if I get a chance, I'll use it again. ------oOo------ Label or no label, I think that Melissa and Julie are a lovely example of "Love is never wrong".

This basically stems from her parents both growing up in alcoholic families.To express herself ME wrote songs and sang them. That is how she expressed what she was feeling or thinking. SO in my opinion I think part of her problem is that she just simply has a hard time getting out what she is trying to express since she is use to singing about it. I know if it was me I would have a horrible time in front of all those people talking and keeping my train of thought. I know that she has no problem performing in front of packed stadiums but that is just it she is performing and is extremely comfortable with that and not so comfortable with expressing herslf and her emotions. Just some food for thought.... I don't know if I am correct in thinking that or not but that is just what came to mind when I read the list.Like I said everyone is entitled to their own opinion and this is just mine.

I have been trying to think of someway to express how I have been feeling about the discussion going on about MLE's style and her music and Martina said it better than I could have. I too feel all five of MLE's albums are different. I bought my first MLE album in 1989 and waited in anticipation for the next one to come out, never being disappointed. I think she has shown growth and maturity with each new album...I love YLS...I can't even imagine her changing her style. <> We attended six of the YLS concerts, four in Texas and the last two in SD and LA and I can't give you any numbers but it looked to me like there were tons of people at all of those concerts. Its my impression, speaking about here in Texas, that if there were fewer crowds at the YLS concerts compared to say the YIA concerts, well MLE probably played more Texas venues for YLS than she did for YIA. I know a lot of my friends went to see her in Amarillo for YLS rather than going to Dallas like we all did for YIA because Amarillo is a lot closer than Dallas and she didn't play Amarillo during the YIA tour. Mike wrote: <> Personally, I can't even imagine MLE doing folk or hip-hop. I will always think of her as rock'n'roll and hope she never changes that. You certainly can't argue with platinum sales and 5M+ sales as being indicative of an artist doing something that the fans like. With the record companies signing so many different acts these days there is such competativeness for the music $$ that I think it is testimony enough to MLE's talent, appeal and hard work that she continues to sell such a high number of albums. I just don't see how that could be considered a stagnant career. But, no matter what she decides to do with her music in the future, I'll be right there ready to enjoy, she's got me hooked!!!!

MLE has a core die-hard audience of fans who will go to a show no matter what. however, to fill arenas, MLE has to appeal to those fans who could go one way or the other about going to a show. a big selling album will create a buzz that could convince those mainstream fans who are on the fence to go to a show. but i'm not sure that YLS created a big enough buzz to draw these fence straddlers. perhaps the long delay between YLS' release (11/95) and her US tour (8/96-12/96) contributed a bit to this, too. OTOH, her high ticket prices could sway a borderline fan *not* to go to a show. with so many concert choices these days, those borderline fans may choose to go to a show that is cheaper. btw, the ticket prices ranged from $35 - $50 each (base price, not counting the various service charges) for the 8 show west coast tour. there has been a drastic increase in SF bay area base MLE ticket prices since i saw my first show during the YIA tour: 9/94 = $25, 5/95 = $35, 12/96 = $42.50. if my math skills are still functioning at this late hour (and i wouldn't be surprised if they aren't ), then that works out to: 40% increase between 9/94 and 5/95 21% increase between 5/95 and 12/96 70% increase between 9/94 and 12/96! can you think of any other goods (food, clothing, shelter, etc.) that have gone up so drastically in such a short amount of time? frankly, i can't. granted, the YLS tour had more "bells and whistles" (the larger B stage, the fancy lighting and video work, the industrial type main stage, and i'm sure those mannekins cost a pretty penny ) than the YIA tour, but did it really warrant a 70% increase in ticket prices in just over 2 years? i know many of you will say, "well, melissa's worth it. in fact, i'd pay TWICE as much." i would partially concur with this viewpoint. personally, i agree that you get "a good bang for your buck" at a MLE show - i did go to 8 shows in 12 days, after all, driving horrendous distances to get to shows (or how about a 5 1/2 hour drive and 3+ hours waiting time for one song and a short interview? it must have been the glorious company. :-D ) and eating a fabulous daily diet of gourmet 7-11 cuisine on precious little sleep. however, because i enjoyed the shows and could afford to go to them doesn't discount the fact that her ticket prices were still expensive. if i recall, and please let me know if i'm completely off base here, but didn't MLE play in small venues during the YLS european tour? i'm speaking of her own tour, of course, not the stadium gigs when she was supporting bryan adams. i think i recall that the european venues were in the 4,000-8,000 person range. if so, then those seem to fit her audience size limitations, and i wouldn't be surprised if they did sell out. ============================== Michelle asked: >I would like to know if articulate is the word of the week? why yes! haven't you been paying attention? ;-) btw, next week's word is: gesticulate. don't forget to use it at least once! enough BAB-bling from me tonight (this morning!)... *rhondda* "sleep / sleep tonight / and may your dreams / be realized" - U2, MLK ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #71 ****************************** Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 16:36:09 -0700 (MST) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #72 etheridge-digest Friday, April 4 1997 Volume 01 : Number 072 Re: *etheridge* MLE topics of discussion *etheridge* Re: Where's Pooh Re: *etheridge* Gwen's feedback *etheridge* Labels. *etheridge* DWS *etheridge* Teresa's Tattoo *etheridge* Labels--"POOH Re: *etheridge* Gwen's feedback *etheridge* X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Mac (v2.2.0, wide beta 6) Re: *etheridge* Joyce's book Re: *etheridge* VH1 Honors (re-broadcasts) Re: *etheridge* labels Re: *etheridge* Gwen's feedback Re: *etheridge* acoustic and piano, Indigo Girls, Amanda Marshal Re: *etheridge* Gwen's feedback *etheridge* Real Intellectual Fans Re: *etheridge* Gwen's feedback RE: *etheridge* Indigo Girls *etheridge* MEC (no kidding) - venue size, guitars *etheridge* Re: acoustic v. electric, YLS show attendance ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 04 Apr 1997 14:48:13 +0200 From: Sussi&Pat Subject: Re: *etheridge* MLE topics of discussion sussi & pat wrote: > > Jacki Mendes wrote: > > > 2.

But I guess since no one else is gonna reflect on this I guess I will get my feet wet! I met up with Shirl and Sue D. and Lisa Lyons and Kim Luce and another Lisa (sorry can't remember Lisa's last name!) But she was very cute! :*) Anyway back to earth! I went down to Cincinnati and caught up with the Melisters and had quite a fun time. I must say that if given the chance one should do this for I don't think I have smiled so much and laughed so hard in a very long time. I must say Sue D. is quite the one to make you laugh! Hi Sue! And Shirl! Well, she is quite shy and demure! :) A real sweetheart that one! Kim Luce now knows how the Ohio Highway patrol hog ties their captive audience huh Kim! :) I will let the gang tell that story! I learned not to take on Sue and Lisa in pool. Also learned how unigue we all are and how easy it is to be friends even though you have never met. I think it is a Melissa type of Thang that bonds us ever so tightly and I am sure it is a good bond and I feel very lucky to have been touched by these lives.

I have just one question. *WHO LET LINDA PERRY ONTO THE MAILING LIST?* The picture Gwen paints of ME's lyrical content is unflattering as well as insulting. If I had read Gwen's post and had never heard Melissa's music before, I would have thought she wrote songs comparable to those one would find on children's shows, such as Barney and Sesame Street. In Melissa's music, I have always found passion and honesty. I, like many of you, have my own Shriner's park, have placed a few calls via that jackpot telephone, and ,on occasion, needed some insanity (the temporary kind). It is precisely this ability to capture a part of the human experience in her songs that endears me to her music.

I have a response to this great label thread. Many women for years have tried to break the idea that they are someones daughter, then someone's wife. That, is a label, right? But isn't happy, sad, tired? I am happy. There are many connotations to that, but at the moment of typing, I am happy. I am a brunette. That can be taken in many ways too. I am also a bisexual. That, much to many people's disagreement is a kinda yucky thing. Does that label imply that I sleep with anything that walks? No, I am the same human being that the rest of you listees are. What I am trying to get at here is thjat labels are what you make of them. They are a sword that can hurt, but they are also the hug that heals. (You can quote me there:) Be careful what label you use. Use them with love. Using them for malice implies ignorance and that is a waste of all of out time. I'll get off my soapbox now.

Being inarticulate doesn't mean that you are stupid, just that you don't express your thoughts, however brilliant, very well. And that's exactly how I've felt about the interviews (particularly on camera; I think editors clean up many of those in print) I've seen MLE give. And, like someone else said, I find it rather charming, compared to some of the pompous blow-hard celebs I've seen. > The picture Gwen paints of ME's lyrical content > is unflattering as well as insulting. Well heaven forbid anyone should criticize any element of MLE's talent. I refer you to the song YLS for evidence of some the reported shallow lyrics. You may like them, but there's nothing there that the average high school garage band couldn't write. > In Melissa's music, I have always found passion > and honesty.

She can also cram in a silly line like "you don't wanna know where I'm callin' you from / or how come..." Now, I haven't heard anyone use the phrase "how come" in that manner since elementary school, but it does rhyme (and she even squished all of those syllables into that line). Just because we like MLE, doesn't mean that we can't see things that we think could stand improvement. And it's my hope that, since I think MLE reads this list (with no basis for that suspicion, understand), she appreciates the fans who offer constructive criticism as much, if not more, than those who pledge their blind allegiance regardless of the perceived quality of her work. - -- Deb \\ indigo@clark.net \\ http://www.clark.net/pub/indigo ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 11:24:28 EDT From: "Jane Vaughn" Subject: *etheridge* X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Mac (v2.2.0, wide beta 6) Thank You Loretta!

Then you agree with me, since I said that there was nothing wrong with labels *per se*, but rather in how they're used. Here's your challenge: A friend says, "Hey, Chris, I know you love Melissa Etheridge, so I'm curious... what's she like?" Answer briefly without using labels. Not likely. You'll probably place her in a genre, or compare her to someone else, but none of those things will quite describe her. It'd be much better if your friend has time to drop by your house and have a listen. > I disagree with Robert's statement that there can be no meaningful > dialogue without labels.

Well, I for one would not know if we had a "connection" until I knew a bit about you, and we most often use labels to describe ourselves. I certainly don't have time to find out if every special, unique person I have contact with is one I'd like to have a friendship with. I start with broad labels, and if there's enough similarity there, then we go deeper to learn more about each other. That's kind of a cool thing about e-mail... you can *watch* people's interactions and see their opinions and they don't even know you're paying attention... you only have to step forward after you sort of know them.

I don't think that this what Gwen meant at all, perceptions aside. I took her post to suggest that the lack of "range" in Melissa's writing (4 albums full of songs about love that has fallen apart, 1 album full of songs about love that has lasted. . . ) may be due to her lack of experience and intellectual/personal stimulation. I'd have to agree wholeheartedly. When the same subject comes up time after time, you've got to wonder why that's the only thing MLE can find to write about. Take a look at Indigo Girls. . . their songs are based on a far more vast platform of topics. Or perhaps, John Mellancamp. Grew up in the midwest. Has been alternately lucky/unlucky/lucky in love. What has he written? A bunch of songs about growing up in the midwest and about his love life? Well, yes, but he's also written a great deal from a perspective outside that mainframe. I agree with Gwen that perhaps during her break from recording, MLE should make some attempt to broaden her horizons, not only for personal enrichment, but also for musical enhancement, as she seems to only have one field to harvest for her songwriting, and the pickings have become mighty, mighty slim. > In Melissa's music, I have always found passion > and honesty.

It is precisely this ability to > capture a part of the > human experience in her songs that endears > me to her music. That was never in question - the honesty and turns of phrase in Melissa's lyric have always been great when they're new and different, but they're horrid when they're old and repetitious (how many times can the night or the darkness be thin?). > I was going to address certain comments Gwen made concerning Melissa's > scholastic aptitude, > but they are so absurd that I can't bring myself to dignify these > remarks with a response. Why? Because it wouldn't be nice? Let's face it, Melissa herself has said that she wasn't a great student. She's no Rhodes Scholar. That isn't an insult, it's a reality. Perhaps, given that fact, and given that she's now a parent, with plenty of time, money and resources at her disposal, she *should* indeed consider some attempts to cultivate her intellect? Or at least spend some time broadening her vocabulary in hopes of livening up her onstage vocabulary. Unlike some, I view her wildly rushing train of thought/never finishing a sentence thing as highly frustrating and exemplifying precisely the problems that Gwen expressed.

As for lyrics, she has been criticized harshly them all along. Especially in reviews for YLS. The new Indigo Girls album is called "Shaming the Sun" and is due out on Apr. 29th. I attended a pre-release party last night that Amy and Emily performed at! So, from a first hand view, the new album is great! More details: Set list -- Shed your skin --- Electric and acoustic guitar. Amy, true to from, broke a string on the first song. Get out the map --- Amy on mandolin and Emily on banjo. Amy commented that they're learning to play new instruments. Don't give that girl a gun --- tight harmonies with Amy singing lead Carmina --- Electric and acoustic guitars, Emily on lead Shame on you --- Get-out-of-your-chair-and-move kind of beat, dueling acoustic guitars Everything in it's own time --- Emily on lead and 12-string. slow, quiet, and sad song Hey kind friend ?? --- Electric again. Begins with quiet harmony then jumps to rocking guitars and Amy's hard edged vocals. Galileo --- the audience did most of the singing on this one. Apparel: Amy: Rage against the Machine T-shirt and jeans. She commented to someone else that she really likes them. Emily: e T-shirt and jeans. When asked what they're listening to lately, Amy replied, "Rage and a lot of local Atlanta bands." Emily on the intensity of her songs: "The best music hurts." My favorite comments? On playing at Bumbershoot in 1996. (they were expecting a small venue with a small audience.) Amy: "We love to play Seattle. That Bumbershoot scared the shit out of us." Emily: " A dream and a nightmare at the same time." The Crocodile Cafe was packed, about 200 people attended. The show opened with a video retrospective. Tidbits included playing to 28,000 people at Bumbershoot in 1996 and raising $300,000 with the "Honor The Earth" tour. "Benefits have been apart of us since we started" --Emily The new album was recorded in Austin and Nashville. They will be doing a pay-per-view concert sometime in June. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Apr 1997 00:20:03 +0200 From: porsche1@Relay1.Austria.EU.net Subject: *etheridge* MEC (no kidding) - venue size, guitars Mornin' MEListers, "Rhondda L.

Couldn't agree more. I attended the YLS show in Stuttgart/Germany as the 1st in a 3in1year concert-row (hey, that's a lot for a european fan), followed by Zell am See/Austria w/ BA and Darien Lakes/NY. The one in Stuttgart was the smallest and the MOST impressive to me. Someone correct me please if I'm wrong, but to me it seemed like 2000-3000 people, might be the contrast to the other shows blurs me memory w/ some golden lights. The audience was mostly real fans that knew all the lyrics and sang with, the athmosphere was just great (standing in the 2nd row probably doubled that impression). It was sold out as the show in Munich some days later was (guess who was trying to sell his life for a ticket and did not succed ? ) I'm really afraid that I'll never have the chance for that experience, again. Especially after the US-show I saw. Too much show, too less real things (just from *MY* POV) IMHO, a large part of her attraction is about beeing real, authentic, true. I mean she's a singer that can spread her spell sipmly w/ a guitar (and when it's only clapping on it ) appereance and her voice. Radically (sp?) spoken, everything else is not really neccessary because it's pulling your attention away from the good things. - okay, I admit that's a little far, but hey, I'm just pondering at midnight...BTW that also answeres the accoustic/electric question for me. Also, people stated to be impressed by her when they saw her the first time live. When I see her sing/speak I have the strong impression that there's a woman that has found out what she want's to do, doing it and KNOWING that this is it. Beeing herself a lot more than people usually are. Showing us, the fans, that it's at least POSSIBLE and thereby enourage us to do the same. The bottom line is: All these are things you hardly see/feel/whatever when you are too far away from the person. Video walls aren't really working. You NEED to be closer to get sth of that authentic energy. You NEED to feel to be inside the *family* of fans and not among some 10000 people where half of them is only visit another show. Why ? To SHARE. I always found it much more satisfying to be at a concert w/ souls that I can share my experiences w/ (at least, this whole list is sth like that for all/lot's of us, I guess.) Okay, this got way longer than I supposed it to be, first. Just had to share that thoughts. Believe me, I always have a hard time when it comes to these emotinal things and it's not my mother-tongue I speak with. Hope I made sense and did not offend anyone, ya never know.

Ashby" aptly articulated: >"Martina Crevecoeur" said: > >>ME could learn to play lead guitar like John Shanks that would be >>something. > >ooo, i don't know about that. the acoustic guitar is *integral* to >her sound. it is her trademark. when people think of MLE's music, >they envision her playing her ovation. personally, i think MLE >should stay as far away from the electric guitar as possible and >concentrate more on her 12-string. I could not agree more, rhondda! MLE's 12-string Ovation is as much a part of her sound as her voice, IMO. And on the flip side of this argument, *if* MLE were ever even to *think* about learning "to play lead guitar like" anybody, I would *never* in a million years pick John Shanks to be her role model! (Shanks is "OK" I suppose, but there are soooo many others out there who are just soooo much better!...he's no great shanks...er, shakes, in my view.) As for rhondda's other articulate comments about the differences in attendance and popularity surrounding YLS as an album and concert tour centerpiece recently, I'll just add a few observations and opinionated comments in general. First, when you raise the ticket price so high while also diluting the fan-base with a dramatic increase in the number of venues geographically -- AND pick *huge* venues on top of that -- then I think it is no big surprise that most of the venues were dismally populated for most of the US tour. If any *one* of these three factors (ticket price, #/choice of cities, smaller venues) had been left unchanged during this tour, I think the "% packed" result would've been significantly higher on this tour. Here we saw MLE's people mucking with *all three.* Indeed, imagine with me for a moment if all of those things had been left the same (as the YIA tour), it also would've been sort of a statement by Melissa that she's still the same (i.e. relatively unaffected by the ego-boosting success of YIA) but she's just trying out a slight departure in her sound with YLS. On the face of it, it would certainly appear that the YLS tour was planned out with some arrogance....makes you wonder if Melissa actually *believed* she could fill all of those monstrously huge venues at those prices on the merits of YLS. Or heck, maybe she *planned* for them to be hauntingly half-filled!!...boy, don't *we* feel foolish!! ;) Secondly, I think a fundamental "misjudgment" with this album tour was in MLE's initial choice of singles with which to introduce the album to the public. On the heels of YIA's overwhelming success, I think it was a safe bet that she had her fans and others sitting on the edge of their chairs with full attention and anticipation (we certainly were on *this* list ). Of the ten songs on the album, we got YLS (the single and yes, granted, the title song) and then IWTCO! If it were up to me (and clearly it wasn't!), I would've started with NTG as the first single with which to springboard album sales, radio play, and promotional appearances. Just my opinion......I *really* wish they'd asked me first, don't you? ;) Thirdly, I briefly add in a mention of my acoustic vs electric guitar theory on YLS from several months ago...noting MLE's trademark acoustic sound subverted by her tremendously increased use of an electric sound on this album (and particularly among the singles). Fourthly, I wholly agree with *rhondda* here: >perhaps the long delay between YLS' release (11/95) >and her US tour (8/96-12/96) contributed a bit to this, too. If there *was* an initial "big buzz" over this album in the U.S. (and this is debateable, I think), it was squandered by the big delay, IMO. I remember as we were preparing for the Texas concerts, a colleague of mine (not even a Melissa fan...yes, I do associate with a *few* "non-believers" ) asked me if Melissa had released something "new" and if this *new* album was the feature of this tour. I replied, "No, it's the US leg of the YLS tour" and she just rolled her eyes and said, "Oh....well I guess it's about damn time...I thought maybe she'd released something newer than *that*!" My sister (*not* a Melissa fan really, though she liked YIA) was even considering it initially, but the ticket price ruled it out for her before the idea ever even got off the ground for her. However, it may have been MLE's marketing strategy to start in Europe in order to nurture and solidify her growing fan-base there this time around. While the delay may have cost her some US fans, "you can't please all of the people all of the time." Fifthly and almost finally , I think that all of these things combined really stacked the "no" responses for those "fence-sitters" who might have otherwise attended. I had a friend who even went so far as to say, "Well, if she's playing the Frank Erwin Center (in Austin), then she'll obviously have *plenty* of audience to support her, so I don't feel so bad about not forking out the money." ENNNH! WRONG!! While there was relatively good attendance (as YLS attendance went) in Austin, that place was *by no means* packed! Sixthly, while the lack of an opening act was thrilling for fans (who got to have Melissa for three solid hours), her previous choices for opening acts (e.g. Joan Osbourne, Paula Cole, etc.) probably also helped to bring fans into the venue that might not have otherwise made the effort for only one artist or the other. MLE's strong support and excellent taste in burgeoning artists is, IMO, part of her draw as well. Her affiliations and appearances with such female artists as Joan Osbourne and Jewel (who have both seen *tremendous* success of late) can only be mutually beneficial, I think....a treat for fans. And...with such a longggg show this time around, we also saw her set tighten up and become increasingly stylized across the US tour....though I don't say that as a complaint as much as a simple observation. And one more opinion (while I'm at it) on the marketing side of things....For her next album of original music (not the upcoming "Live" album to be released...or the Janis Joplin tracks that will surely happen), I really hope Melissa will: 1. Return to a predominantly acoustic sound, melding her voice with her Ovation 2. Make prudent choices for singles thereof 3. Bring her ticket prices DOWN DOWN DOWN 4. Start her next tour in North America (it's our turn! ) 5. Consider a well-chosen opening act (now *there's* a topic for discussion) 6. Play smaller venues than we saw on the YLS tour 7. Perform a few more songs from her early albums OK, I'm outta here...Sorry I'm so long-winded in my attempt to articulate >btw, next week's word is: gesticulate.

Comments are being made about MLE's inability to finish sentences, etc. making her seem inarticulate- (I realize this sentence is just awfully grammatically incorrect, but you guys get my point)- To this I say, It's a Gemini thing! Truly, it is. What happens is your brain gets going so much faster than your mouth can get the words out, and sometimes you trail off... or go off on a tangent... Being a Gemini myself, this happens to me a lot! Not just with the spoken word either, it has ALWAYS happened to me with writing as well. My handwriting has always been messy because the thoughts are flowing out so much faster than I can write them- and believe me, I write fast! (add to this my left-handedness and I'm the illegible queen!) So, I don't think her "scattered thoughts syndrome" is because she has nothing to say, or is not intelligent or well-read- perhaps she has *too much* to say and does seem well-read from what we know of her. Also, I find her lyrics very thoughtful and meaningful- at least to me in my life. And the fact that she writes a lot about love is one of the main reasons I love her stuff. After all, a lot of us need help with love and all its expressions. Maybe it's just me- but most other subjects are pretty easy to learn about and explore. Love is in those uncharted waters that I hope to explore forever- and any help is appreciated, whether it be songs, poems, etc. Okay, I'm rambling (as usual) and I'm sure you are all bored to tears by my musings, so I'll get on out of here... One other thing I wanted to say, though. This List has always been a place where we could speak freely, so I'm gonna say this- I found the description of "running the bases" contained in yesterday's posts *extremely* offensive. Just my opinion... Okay, my popularity is REALLY dropping now- so I'm outta here... Love in MLE to all- Renee' (missing Melissa a lot right now...but wishing her lots of baby happiness...)

MLE has got 50 songs by now. How many of them deal with love, relationship, breakup, bla, bla bla (*love stuff*)and how many have got other, more *universal* subjects? IMO that would be: ME: 10 songs, 100% *love stuff* B&C: 9 songs, 90% *love* (Testify not) NE 6 songs, 60 % *love* (2001, DWS, TBFS, IFY not) YIA 7 songs, 70% *love* (SL, AAG, TTMA not) YLS 8 songs, 80% *love* (ICHBY, TWIO not). So, the average would be 80% *love stuff*. Hmmm. I don't know if anybody agrees with my way of calculating. Maybe some think other songs that I didn't take into acocunt are not love related either or v/v. But it's not been an argument on the list that most of ME's songs (be it 80%, 75% or 85%) are related to the *love stuff* themes. And when I look at all her releases so far, it's quite striking that this woman has an obvious NEED to sing/write about these very personal things. And she's not trendy at all. And she even risks that fans and critics might get *bored* sooner or later because there ain't much new stuff, nothing *universal*. OTOH, aren't all the *love* songs also about being a lesbian, about narrowmindedness (sp?), about the society in general, about families, about childhood, about having never learned to *talk*, about being different in so many ways, feeling alienated. I (just MO) consider these things as being very universal. I don't know... these very thoughts drive me and probably that's why I can relate so well. I've got the feeling that MLE won't stop writing about these things until they are finally *solved* within her. After she'd finally come to terms with all this. I mean, she's got the money, house, BMW, life time partner, child - well, she's got it all, hasn't she? But when listening to her, I get the feeling that she's still seeking many, many other things. I think she makes herself very vulnerable by writing about Melissa Etheridge and I give her tremendous credit for that. And when I listen to her talking, listen to her unfinished sentences and train of thought and then look at her songs - that all fits and gives me a good inside into who she, the person, not the rock star, might be. I think that's pretty brave and it's a risk since people might go,*oh, come on, it's enough now*. I guess it's never enough. Martina's-Saturday-morning-babble-finished.

This is not an >indication of ticket sales, but rather an attempt to ensure that all >the seats had excellent views of the stage and not the back of your >neighbors head. i can't tell if you're attempting to compare MLE's 12/12 spokane arena show with another concert that you attended, so for the sake of discussion purposes, i will just base my opinion on the 12/12 show. first, the view of the back of your neighbor's head is unavoidable at any concert, unless you're in the front row. further, i must disagree with you about the reasons why they cut the arena in half. it was not to ensure that all seats had excellent views of the stage; it was because they couldn't sell all of the seats. the demand just wasn't there. because the seats were reserved, they (MLE's people and the spokane promoter) knew what the floor plan was going to be before the tix went on-sale. i'm also assuming that they had a fair estimate of what the total number of ticket sales were going to be. they estimated that she was only going to be able to sell "X" amount of seats, so they configured the arena before the on-sale date to meet this perceived demand. of the 8 shows i attended on the west coast YLS tour, only the spokane arena and the tacoma dome were configured this way. if they (MLE's people and a specific area's promoter) were so concerned about making sure that everyone had an excellent view of the stage, then why weren't all of the venues configured in this fashion? they weren't because the demand for tix was higher at those locations. if the demand for tix in a specific location couldn't meet the supply of seats, then why weren't the shows held in smaller venues (see my possible answer below)? the object of the music business game is to put as many cash-weilding warm bodies as you can into a venue to maximize your profits. of course, the key word in the phrase, music business, is "business". >Secondly, I don't know if it was a sell out or not, I was shocked >when I was able to get tickets the day after they went on sale. it wasn't sold-out, because the entire upper (or at least almost the entire) sections were completely empty. if there were even a perceived demand for those seats, i believe that they would have been made available for purchase. >However, I do know that this was soon after a massive ice storm in >Spokane that resulted in numerous areas of the city being without >power for weeks. Maybe some of those people who had tickets >had other more pressing concerns, like the tree through their living >room. well, of course, this is a valid reason. i witnessed the damage that spokane had sustained from "ice storm '96" when i was there for the show (and i could still see signs of it when i visited jib in early february). real life is always more important than a concert . perhaps even several hundred people who were still affected by the storm decided not to attend the concert. but the entire upper level of the arena?! i find that highly unlikely. >In Spokane the '95 show and the Opera House sold out in less than >three hours. I suspect that was more the determining factor for the >larger venue than any speculation on the acceptance of YLS> i think *both* factors (her quick sell-out of the opera house and YLS' sales) would come into play here. perhaps they believed that MLE could ride the coattails of YIA's success based on her sell-out of the opera house, and hold the YLS concert at a larger venue. also, if an album is really popular, you will book your artist into a larger venue. if an album is selling poorly, then you would book them into a smaller venue. i don't have any specific numbers, but didn't YLS sell significantly less than YIA? Angela Johnson said: >I agree completely. Every show I saw in Spokane sold out quickly. >It's only logical to go to a larger arena if you always sell out the >smaller ones. it's quite a jump to go from a 3,000-4,000 seat theatre to a 12,500 seat hockey arena (according to the venue map i copied out of the spokane phone book), especially when they already know that they won't sell it out, even when the arena is cut in half. now, here's my answer to my question above: since she had a good-sized B stage, MLE may have been forced to play arenas because the staging wouldn't have fit anywhere else, regardless of the demand for tix or YLS' sales. arenas cost more to rent than smaller venues, so that fact alone could have driven up the ticket prices. those higher ticket prices may convince people not to go to a show. *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #73 ****************************** Date: Sun, 6 Apr 1997 04:01:50 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #24 etheridge-digest Sunday, April 6 1997 Volume 01 : Number 024 Re: *etheridge* electric rock-n-roll with feeling Re: *etheridge* MLE Inarticulate, Running the "Bases" (fwd) *etheridge* Amanda Marshall *etheridge* [NMEC] FREE SPEECH *etheridge* ACOUSTIC/ELECTRIC GUITARS *etheridge* Newbie (fwd) Re: *etheridge* a week's worth *etheridge* Chris Nickson, Etc. *etheridge* Nickson: He or She? *etheridge* Re: ADMINISTRIVIA: Re: [NMEC] FREE SPEECH ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 05 Apr 1997 05:19:43 PST From: "Susan Christopher" Subject: *etheridge* Amanda Marshall MARIANNE MCCLAUGHRY asked: >+ Is there a new Amanda Marshall CD/album out or coming out (no pun >intended)? Amanda has been dating the same guy (her bass player as a matter of fact) for 6 years. I guess you could say she never leaves home without him. :-) Her debut album has been out for about a year and a half in Canada and about a year in the US. Singles are still being released from it (6 so far in Canada); she is still touring behind it (dates have just been announced for her Canadian tour in May - check http://www.buzzwords.com for details) - she is currently the opening act for part of John Mellencamp's US tour.

We wanted to go bright and easy to see on bookshelves full of bios (thus the red). Someone on the list has picked up on what we were going for with the front and back pictures (the progression from early years to late years). And I had nothing to do with the size of the book -- I was given the dimensions to use. And there was much discussion about whether or not the word "unauthorized" should be on the cover, but it was finally decided that that would suggest that the goal of the book was to dig up all the dirt on Melissa, and we certainly didn't want that. Could it have gone on the inside title page? Certainly, although I, for one, didn't even think of that. And boy did we have fun going through the pictures for the book! :-) > I'll read them soon, really. :) I know first-hand that Joyce's > research was outstanding; how can Nickson compete without having > visited my library? :) I get the feeling that Nickson couldn't have done much research herself on any of the books that she's releasing this year; there are just too many of them.

For once, I find myself disagreeing with Rhondda While I really like the sound of MLE on the 12 string, and hope she never gives it up entirely, I also think that the best way that she can expand musically, if not lyrically, is to try and get away from that once in a while, even if it leads her to someplace we don't all like. I'm not a big fan of most of what's on YLS or NE, but on both of these albums, she really tried to do something a little different, and buried among the tracks I don't like are some gems. One of my absolute favorite MLE songs is DWS, (especially the VH1 Roots performance) and it was nothing like anything she'd done before. I think one of the most interesting tracks on YLS is TWIO, which also shows her experimenting with something new. I think she should even push this farther. When I listen to TWIO, it sounds to me like she was striving for something like Peter Gabriel's sound. Maybe she take this lesson to another level, and do more Gabriel-type experimentation with different time signatures, rhythms, keys, and chords. Other artists that are discussed on this list regularly do this kind of experimenting a lot, and some have gone a long way from their original sound without losing fans. Ani Difranco comes to mind. Her early albums got her classified as acoustic folk, but if you listen to Dilate, it is nothing like her early sound. And it is GOOD. From record to record, she always shows growth, even if some of her experiments fall flat (and IMNSHO, some do). Ditto, perhaps on a more limited scale, with the Indigo Girls. One of the things that both of them have done with their year off is to try to learn new instruments, or improve their playing on the ones they already know - Emily on piano, Amy on lead guitar, for example. The result (from what I've heard live....haven't heard the new album yet...) is a record that is very different from their previous efforts. MLE is already a success, she doesn't have to worry about staying popular in order to pay the bills. She can afford to take big risks. Look at Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad - he got into a completely different genre than what made him famous, and produced a really wonderful record. MLE can afford to try to experiment. And on the amplification question: >MLE 12-string Ovation is not really an acoustic guitar. >in the biz---an acoustic is one that is not amplified except directlly >into a microphone--a microphone picks up the sound----MLE's has a >wireless mic attached to the strap that sends the sound from the >electric pickup on the Ovation to the board-----so even though there is >no cord--it's not acoustic--- >unless the guitar no matter what it looks like --is played directly into >a microphone and then that sound is reinforced to the PA/sound system is >it acoustic.....if the sound is amplified in any way prior to entry into >the mixing board; amp, acoustic pickup, it is electric/amplified. >sound amplification and sound reinforcement are not the same thing. >for example--the Indigo Girl's "acoustics" plug in---MLE's Ovation is >wired----it is electrical sound and not acoutstic. >if the guitar and not the amp has a microphone in front of it---then it >is being played acoustically. This is a really trivial distinction. Both MLE's Ovations and IG's Martins use some sort of under-the-bridge piezo pickup (I'm fairly sure that the IG use the Martin Thinline/Fishman AG-125 system, not sure what is used in the Ovations) and use slightly different systems to get the signal to the PA. They are *both* basically amplified acoustics, and the sound that they get is about as close to an acoustic guitar sound as is reasonable, considering the technical limitations of amplifying an acoustic guitar. Very few live performers actually use microphones to amplify acoustics because of horrible feedback problems of both internal and external mics, and the fact that you are basically "tied" to the point on the stage where the microphone is located if you're using an external mic. As for the wireless belt-clip system - that's really just the difference between a cordless and regular telephone, and really doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the signal. Robert's distinction is really splitting hairs.

Interesting technical writing, but I think some mistakes are made. Maybe I can explain why I think that something is wrong by telling you how the little electrons are walking to the amp and finally the nice waves will reach your ears. In Melissa's case. She playes a note and the soundwaves reaches the mic (cordless as you mentioned) The electrons make a new wave and send it to the amp on the other side of the venue. In the amp other electrons are used to ride to the speakers and the speakers will make soundwaves which you will hear. In your acoustic case the soundwave of the guitar reaches the mic and the electrons are moving but instead of moving to equipment that can make waves they move through a cord directly to the amp. The amp will redirect the electrons to the speakers and you will hear the same beautiful sound as in the first case. There is just one difference. Electron-made-waves are flying in the air but totally are not infected by heat, by people, by anything....... So, why is it that important to say that Mel is not playing acoustic? The guitar will be sold as an acoustic guitar and if she wants to, she playes it 'acoustic', you would like to call it [If I Wanted To...... remember.....]. In that case it is a shame that she won't be able to walk to the corners of the stage and can not longer make contact with the audience. Another question that comes to me right now, what if you play directly into a mic and the cord is going backstage and there is a sending machine that sends the waves towards the back of the venue instead of using a very very long cord to the back..... Is that also not acoustic? In my opinion it's the most useless thing to think about because the sound will be the same. The development of technical equipment is that far that you don't have to worry about hearing difference in sounds by using different sorts of equipment (except if you don't use the best of the best that is available, but about that you don't have to worry about at Mel's concerts) Hope you don't feel offended but what you are telling us is just not true.

(Pink Floyd always has a good turn of phrase)...but it's also something cows eat...which is correct?! STICK YOUR ***KING ADVICE UP YOUR ASS hmmmmm... American spelling really leaves a lot to be desired...afterall...how many people own an ass these days. I thought there were only pack horses called Ned left....and I really think it could do with an "R" in there... you know, like you spell TexaRse And wow! Now I've taken the expletive bits out it looks like something a 12 th Century peasant would yell...Vive la revolution! Either that or something a wild, hairy legged Scotsman would scream to his clan...ain't that right Ray? - ---AND THEN GO **CK YOURSELF. Oooooh....are we still on the lyrics that rhyme with duck? hmmm... ****YOU SEND ME PERSONAL EMAIL AGAIN---AND I MIGHT JUST TAKE IT PERSONALLY**** Now this translation is difficult...perhaps personal really has a different or alternate meaning over there? I'm sure it just means tell the whole pub down here...course that only holds if you say something personal in the pub and and something which sends an automatic hush over the pool game, the barrage of orders and the barside banter....then of course personal isn't really personal after all is it , it's public, as in public bar! Of course this leads me to make my final point... and I do have one... Where did our old easy going, challenging but friendly, jovial and playful list vanish to? I miss it already... Jud PS. I can always send up some of our winter weather if you guys can't chill out on your own turf, so long as you send return, fastpost, some summer stuff, and I don't mean bermuda shorts! ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Apr 1997 14:14:21 +0200 From: Marcel Ummelen Subject: I'm back, but with less energy I'm afraid. Hi sweet guys out there! Thanks for all your nice words in the past months. Let me explain what happened so you will understand why I didn't write to you lately. My dad was getting ill in October last year. It was serious but the surgery was planned in February this year. My mom needed my help very badly and I decided not to move untill my dad would get home. So, the day of the surgery was the hardest in my life (of 25 years). It was just fucking hard. But it succeeded (is there a God?) and he was happy and insecure. So at the time he came home and didn't look better in a week we all thought it was because he felt insecure. But two weeks after he went home we brought him to first aid because his leg was getting bigger and bigger. Problems with his blood was the cause. It had to do with the surgery and he is staying for two weeks again in hospital. This monday (easter monday) my brother in law's dad died and nobody has an explaination. He'd suffered of Malaria Tropica but he was one of the 10% that healed of that disease. But after 6 months of Intensive Care and hospital, plannes for recovery of mustles etc. he died in the night. It's strange. Everything I put on a side to help my parents. But the energy it costed was of a level that I couldn't see in front. Last week I had two days of questioning myself why I was doing it to me. But always the answer was simple: parents are the most important people in my life and if I can help them I must do that, even if that will cost a part of my own life. Now everything is getting more quiet. Dad will be home by next week and those two have to make a new start this year. So I'm going to move in a month or two and I'm getting my life on a previous level also. My mail has been treated badly and I promise to do my best to make everything good! *************** Everybody I wrote about the AHOY-boot: I will reply very soon. I did some research on payment and I will make arrangements with you this upcomings weeks. *************** You guys of the dutch meeting: I'm sorry that I didn't reply your mail for a long time. See you in the upcoming weeks again and maybe we can make new arrangements for the semi-mel-list. *************** Thank you all for understanding and hope to hear from you soon. Greetings, Marcel. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: "creve" Subject: Re: Joyce's post NMEC Date: Sun, 6 Apr 1997 14:13:26 +0200 Hi Joyce and listers, I'm sort of recovering from just having read digest #74. Man, some people do know *interesting* words!. And that didn't even expand my vocabulary, I knew them already. I'm afraid they won't even make me more *articulate* let alone *gesticulate*. Just MHO!!! (*please* nobody email me about this) Anyways, this is about something else. Hey, Joyce - NO, no book yet. @**#*?!"@~% I ordered it Feb 19, so we're talking almost 3 months here. But I have to say that probably Amazon.com is not to blame for that. I made one mistake and that is ordering it not by DHL or UPS or whatever courier but snail/ground mail. I must have overlooked that that will take much, much longer. Stupid me! But almost 3 months is taking *snail mail* literally. Maybe the ship it was on has sunk???? Has there been any storm in the Atlantic lately? So, all you listers overseas: either order it via Amazon.com and make sure you click the UPS box (and pay a *little* extra for that), or wait for a long, long time, or order it through your local book dealer. I got Nickson's book that way within 4 weeks - no extra cost whatsoever. Joyce, if I won't have that book within the next 4 weeks or so, I'm gonna call you up and you will have to read it to me over the phone and describe all the pictures etc. You don't have a problem with that, do you? You all have a beautiful, *peaceful* sunday!!!!!!!!!!

I very much prefer parenthetical cites to endnotes and moderately prefer them to footnotes. This probably has everything to do with my being both a writer and a reader of scientific literature since the parenthetical style is the preferred style for most journals (and for dissertations and such). (I do recognize that it is not universally done that way, just commonly, and I am not speaking for all scientists or journal editors.) It's a matter of familiarity for me and I don't find it distracting at all. There is one difference between the style that Joyce used and the scientific style: the scientific cite usually contains the date of publication [for example, (Hatlelid, et al., 1995)]. I think that is useful for scientific works, but not necessarily so for other works. IMHO, Kris ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #24 ****************************** Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 04:02:29 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #25 etheridge-digest Monday, April 7 1997 Volume 01 : Number 025 *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #24 *etheridge* happy thoughts Re: *etheridge* Re: ADMINISTRIVIA: Re: [NMEC] FREE SPEECH (fwd) *etheridge* citation, experimentation, gesticulation, impersonation *etheridge* NMEC: KTS music site in Italy *etheridge* NMEC: KTS music site in Italy -Reply *etheridge* re: acoustic/electric guitars *etheridge* Acoustic Guitar vs Electric *etheridge* Melissa E.

The world outside is harsh enough without it barging into our computers:( I'm very thankful Melissa booked large venues for her YLS tour - - I've only been a fan about a year :( I was a little nervous about going to a concert so I didn't buy my ticket until the day before. I had a great seat and it was one of the most amazing nights of my entire life. As long as she keeps speaking to my heart in this amazing way only she does I don't really care if she tries something new, stays the same or completely studders through all her interviews. I imagine others feel the same. As for casting a new video for her (boy I wish they would hurry up and release a video collection, I'm dying to see the old ones!!!) I think she should do a video of IFY with a cast of ---- us! her MElister fans :) Well, one can dream :) I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* citation, experimentation, gesticulation, impersonation now that the "waters" have calmed a bit (so to speak), i thought i'd reply to whole bunch o' stuff in one big, hairy post. my opinion on joyce's citation method - frankly, the parenthetical cites don't bother me. i have to cite check legal briefs in my work that utilize the same style, so i guess i've become accustomed to it. the citations are unobtrusive, at least for me. after reading strings of parallel reporter citations and various "ids", "supras", "affirmed in part", "certiorari denied", etc. in legal briefs, these are a welcome breath of fresh air. ============================== Maggie said: >For once, I find myself disagreeing with Rhondda shock! horrors! ;-) >When I listen to TWIO, it sounds to me like she was striving for >something like Peter Gabriel's sound. definitely! i hear influences of PG's "biko" throughout TWIO, almost to the point of wanting to chant "oh, oh, oooooh" (and pump my fist in the air) during the chorus of TWIO. >Maybe she take this lesson to another level, and do more >Gabriel-type experimentation with different time signatures, >rhythms, keys, and chords. i'm all for experimentation. i would love it if she tried something different. however, while i enjoyed TWIO live, i found it rather forced or contrived on YLS, as if she was trying *too* hard to be gabrielesque. >MLE is already a success, she doesn't have to worry about staying >popular in order to pay the bills. She can afford to take big >risks. Look at Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad - he got into a >completely different genre than what made him famous, and produced a >really wonderful record. MLE can afford to try to experiment. i agree, but i wonder if MLE is prepared for the inevitable backlash from her mainstream audience (backlash, as measured by lower album sales or smaller concert audiences). as MLE said in her interview published in the San Diego Union-Tribune on 12/19/96, public opinion, both the audience's and the reviewer's, means a great deal to her. while TGOTJ is an incredible album, bruce lost a few fence straddlers (and probably some die-hard fans, too) with it. it wasn't heavily promoted by sony nor did it sell well, and many people who attended his TJ concerts either didn't realize that it was a solo acoustic performance or that the E Street Band wasn't going to play with him. however, TGOTJ's lower sales or his smaller concert audiences (part of which is due to the intimate nature of the work) didn't seem to matter to bruce. he's still touring in support of the album (which came out a few weeks before YLS). would MLE be willing to explore new musical territory, even if it means a downturn in mainstream acceptance? i sincerely hope she's brave and crazy enough to give it a try. ============================== Jud said: >Geesh, for a minute there I thought some one had sent me a Tarentino >script for editing... > > i wonder how many listers are reading this account with their hands over their ears. hey, is that mr. blonde over there? ============================== barb biagi said: >Someone on the list (edgyallison??) mentioned LOL at Melissa*s *sign >language* on the Leno show in december. yes, that was the incomparable edgy, specifically wrt the lines "and they don't understand what they don't see / and they look through you and they look past me" in NTG. throw in your own signs and you'll probably come up with something fairly similar to MLE's gesticulations. >Ever since then, i*ve noticed how much Melissa ***** >gesticulates ***** during her songs, especially when she is >playing her electric guitar. that's because she's barely strumming the damn thing (saving up her energy for the acoustic attack). she's gotta have *something* to do with her hands. it fits into patti's YLS acoustic v. electric theory (which i actually subscribe to :-) ). >Where*s my prize, *rhondda* ??? !!! ack! guess i'll have to run to the local store and pick up some more candy floss! ;-) ============================== Susan said: >>Rhonnda (who also got to attend an IG party in San Fran) mentioned: yup! i managed to get a pass the morning of the showcase through the KFOG ticket swap site, so i luckily didn't have to resort to the james bond tactics of susan and sheri. ;-) KFOG received 3,000 (!) faxed entries, and surprise, surprise, mine didn't get chosen (see, i don't win everything ). i really enjoyed the performance, even though the slim's show was plagued with sound problems (loud POPS were coming from the monitors), and amy broke a couple of guitar strings. i'm looking forward to catching their 7/5 show, which will hopefully be at the greek theatre and not the shoreline (plans haven't been finalized yet). ============================== john and i saw last night's sold-out shawn colvin concert at the warfield in SF. it was wonderful! she was in great voice and spirits (she's hilarious). as anne said a few weeks back, steuart smith (who played on NE) plays incredible lead guitar, adding tasteful licks without being flashy or overbearing. oh, and you should hear shawn and steuart's karl childers' (billy bob thornton's role in "sling blade") impersonations... if you do go, don't leave before the encores. you're in for a treat or two. :-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Apr 1997 22:10:05 -0700 From: Randy Subject: *etheridge* NMEC: KTS music site in Italy Seems the rumor over in alt.music.bootlegs is that KTS is going out of bizness cuz of a big bust.

'tis true. btw, KTS is having a big blowout sale - check out their website for this (http://www.kts.it). single cds = $12 US and 2 cd sets = $24 US. you have to buy 5 cds to take advantage of these prices though, and the sale only goes through april. their website is agonizingly slow, so maybe you'll want to read joyce's book while you wait for it to load. :-) KTS only has 3 MLE cds listed (acoustic, let's get it on, and 10 years of covers), but maybe that's all they manufactured. caveat emptor - you may want to think twice about giving out your credit card # to a international company that's going out of business, not to mention one that is in trouble with legal authorities. but maybe that's just me... *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Apr 1997 11:24:44 +0800 From: mardi Subject: *etheridge* re: acoustic/electric guitars >unless the guitar no matter what it looks like --is played directly into >a microphone and then that sound is reinforced to the PA/sound system is >it acoustic.....if the sound is amplified in any way prior to entry into >the mixing board; amp, acoustic pickup, it is electric/amplified. >sound amplification and sound reinforcement are not the same thing. >for example--the Indigo Girl's "acoustics" plug in---MLE's Ovation is >wired----it is electrical sound and not acoutstic. >if the guitar and not the amp has a microphone in front of it---then it >is being played acoustically.

I just returned from one of Australia's biggest folk festivals and every player that was there plugged in..but no one called them electric/acoustic guitars...maybe they were just too lazy to say such a long word?

The following questions and answers are taken from an interview in the July 1995 issue of Guitar magazine in an article called "The Guitarists formerly known as Chicks" Are you interested in playing more lead guitar? "A little bit. The bands that I've played, I was mainly the rhythm player so I didn't really have much opportunity to jump out, and I didn't know quite a lot about it. Whenever I did do something like a lead, it was more like a rhythmic lead because I was listening to Keith Richards and stuff like that. I stopped learning a long time ago. I pick the guitar up now and I do things over and over so much; unfortunately, I think I've stopped the growing phase, which is kind of sad because I liked getting better and better. My guitar player now, John Shanks, teaches me some things every now and then when we get together. He's really good." This has been a significant year for women who play the guitar. Where do you see yourself among all of them? "I see myself as a good rhythm player who tries to take acoustic guitar to a different level. You know, I always shy away from people who think I play acoustic guitar so I must be folk or something, because I beat the hell out of acoustic guitars. I'm working on more electric. I've been writing a lot on electric, which is changing my sound a little bit, but I'm very excited about it. I think I will always only be a fair lead player but a really good rhythm player." I don't know how good she is, but I have always enjoyed watching her play the guitar. Especially shows like Unplugged or Storytellers. She is perceived as an acoustic guitar player, but I think she would really like to be Eddie Van Halen. pk ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Apr 1997 23:25:35 -0000 From: "Bonnie Gibson" Subject: *etheridge* Melissa E.

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* "house of blues radio hour" - MLE interview every sunday night at 11 pm, KFOG plays "the house of blues radio hour", which is hosted by elwood blues (aka dan aykroyd). i believe that this is a nationwide syndicated show. anyway, this week, they were doing a tribute to janis joplin, mainly as a promotion for the new HOB release "get it while you can - the songs of janis joplin", which contains covers of joplin songs (or ones she's made popular) by artists such as taj mahal, otis clay, paul black, tracy nelson, etta james, and others. on a whim, i threw a tape into my old boombox that i've got here at the office just in case by chance they had any MLE info wrt the janis movie. there wasn't any movie info, but they did play a short MLE interview (which i've heard before on "the blues radio hour"). here's a transcription of her interview. i've left in all of her various "uh's", "um's", and stutterings - i guess it's up to you to determine if she's articulate or not. Elwood Blues: Was Janis Joplin a big influence on today's female artists? Well, just ask Melissa Etheridge. MLE: "I'd say the biggest influence on me was, uh, Janis Joplin, who certainly took the blues, the blues women, and, uh, made her own blues styling of it, a very rock blues styling. So, when I, when I'm being influenced by Janis Joplin, I'm in turn being influenced by Big Mama Thornton and, uh, the great blues ladies of that time. Janis Joplin really just wanted to sing the blues. She was just steeped in it. And, um, her style was one of taking those blues, the, the heart of the blues, the, the rhythm of it, the, um, melodies and lyrics and then encasing it in this rock 'n roll screaming. You know everyone thought she was just screaming, but she was actually quite a vocalist. So, her, her style is very, it's very thought out and very guttural, yet, yet full of, uh, of heart and soul." *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 05:56:08 -0400 (EDT) From: Sooz911@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Ellen is OUT!

I want to thank John, Patty and Morna for forwarding the missing digest that I asked about last week, you guys are awesome. I spent the last five days unable to move my head, I have no idea how I messed up my neck like I did but the nice doctor gave me drugs and I am starting to feel better. It help having an amazing chiropractor too. I haven't been able to keep my head up for the past few days, so I know that i definately owe some people some e-mail. Shirl, did you get my message yesterday, i miss you sooooo much, sounds like you and the ladies had a great time, I'm so jealous you got to meet POOH. Sue, Lisa and Kim wow, what a great gathering of MElisters!!! Anyway, I am writitng to see if anyone in the Houston area might like to spend some time drinking tequila with me either Wednesday the 9th or Thursday the 16th of April. I just got my flight itinerary and I have layovers on both of those days in Houston. On the 9th I will have 2 hours, and on the 16th I will have four hours, I was super lucky in Dallas last year and got to meet Janis, and Tonya and her friend. If i remember correctly it was Janis's Birthday too. Well if anyone in Houston thinks they might like to meet another MElister, I'd love that opportunity too. E-mail me and I'll give you my flight info, I'd love to get together. And for my ME content, I was pleassantly surprised the other day when I was on hold at Mastercard, the elevator music playing over the line was CTMW, I was very urked when the agent picked up the phone so promptly, but again thankful that he had to transfer me, I got to hear the end of the song!!! Have a super day, I look forward to hopefully mesting some MElisters in Houston.

Since then, I received notice that my comments bordered on a direct attack on Gwen. I know there is a fine line between disagreeing with an individual's comments and attacking them personally. I, like Johnny Cash, thought I walked that line with no problem. My intention was neither to offend nor to claim that I was a better fan than those who offered constructive criticism. I simply thought that questioning MLE's intelligence and the suggestion she take a philosophy course rather ridiculous (IMO). Personally, I think MLE should expand on the sound created in TWIO. I would like to see her work with someone like Daniel Lanois, who has worked with artists such as U2, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, and Emmylou Harris. Daniel Lanois' production style involves creating a cavern of sound in which an artist's emotional vibrancy bleeds through. This serves to give a particular piece of work a haunting quality and emotional power. However, if MLE , on her next CD of original music, sticks with the same musical style and lyrical themes of her previous work, I won't abandon her. Not because of some "perceived blind allegiance" but because I enjoy her music. I'm sure there is a great deal of fear MLE and other artists have to deal with when deciding to deviate from the sound that made them popular. U2, for example, has delved into the electronic/ techno sound on their last 2 albums and lost many of their original fans. There is no way Melissa can satisfy every fan, no matter how much we all would like to see her try. It is only by remaining true to herself that she will please the majority of her fans. Bye, Slippy--Hoping Jen (the Moderator) doesn't find fault with this post. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 22:36:37, -0500 From: NJDF90B@prodigy.com ( J L RUTZ) Subject: *etheridge* digest #74 Does any one have a copy of digest #74 that they could forward to me?

A bit of fuzzy logic. Wait till I get this piece of fluff out of my head! "knock! knock! There, that's much better. Upon requests from some of you I shall step forward and ponder a bit. Hmmmm! Let's see. It is spring which means things are sprouting up from the good earth all over. And yes, I see from the list that there are even some things crawling out from under rocks to try to bask in our sun. I have come to find that where there is sweetness there are always good and bad things. The sweet little honey beezz's show up and make my favorite thing which we all know is "honey!" Yet there are times that along with the sweetness comes the bitter little yellow jacket who will grab hold of ya and sting you if you get close enough for him to do so. And I mean to tell ya from experience he does carry fire in his butt when he latches on and does not sting once but as many times as you let him. So I say: One can do a couple of things, you can leave it alone and off he will go and bug someone else or you can simply hit delete sending the negativity off into cyberspace without reading so your day is not ruined then you can go out and enjoy the flowers off the field and rejoice in the sweetness once again. And this I think is logical. But then again I'm just a bear of little brain.

Although we were a little scared of the surrounding area the first night we drove by we decided to brave it the next night and found it to be a charming little place. Sue and I even won NCAA penants and I won a Ballcap(see Sue I'm not a total fem!!). The owner was very cordial even if she did remind me of the Merchant Marine/Long Shoreman type.

Hey, it rhymes with articulate (when used as a verb) and gesticulate... Seems my original post which contained my personal views on what I feel to be MLE's lack of lyrical depth (and I should have added breadth now that I think about it) as well as my opinion that MLE is not overly articulate when it comes to speaking "off the cuff" have managed to set some listers on their heels. It also seems that my casual suggestion that MLE might consider taking a philosophy course or two touched a few listers' hot buttons too but I'm not sure I understand why.... I wasn't trying to be high brow about it or to make disparaging remarks about MLE. I truly enjoy her music and I think she's very talented, creative, brave, etc. What I was saying was that, although I enjoy most of her songs, it seems to me that she's recycling a limited number of themes and that for me personally, her lyrics are beginning to grow stale. That's why I personally would like to see her evolve her style... not change completely, not go to the extreme and include literary references in her lyrics complete with endnotes, quotes from Sartre, or what have you, just write about some new "stuff" with maybe some variation in theme and lyrical imagery. I re-posted part of my original post in hopes that if people re-read it, they will see that I wasn't trying to attack MLE or her music or say that the songs she's written so far aren't good but that MAYBE by exposing herself to other ideas, it may help her create new music... >I'm not trying to make a generalization here that people who go to college >are always more articulate. However, I do believe that the more well-read >a person is; the more interest a person takes in the world around them; >and the more time someone devotes to thinking about "stuff" outside of >what directly affects them, the more apt they are to have a wider array of >subjects to talk about. (Or to write songs about...) > >Maybe while MLE is taking time off to spend with Julie and Bailey, she >could consider delving into some of the classics, taking a philosphy >course or two just for fun, reading the daily newspaper, anything that may >provide her with some new ideas for songs. slippy@webtv.net inferred the following from my original post: >In her post, she attempts to correlate a lack of >lyrical depth in Melissa's >songs with some perceived intellectual deficiency. I have just one >question. >*WHO LET LINDA PERRY ONTO THE >MAILING LIST?* First of all, *OUCH* that hurt... and after I tried to be so careful with how I expressed my opinions. I have never thought that MLE was intellectually deficient and I sure as heck wasn't trying to make that correlation in my post. Tracey Thacker (the lister with the tres cool homepage) understood my intent: >I don't think that this what Gwen meant at all, perceptions aside. I took >her post to suggest that the lack of "range" in Melissa's writing (4 albums >full of songs about love that has fallen apart, 1 album full of songs about >love that has lasted. . . ) may be due to her lack of experience and >intellectual/personal stimulation. Yep, that's exactly what I meant Trace.... And Deb (the lister with the extremely extensive, not to mention, color coordinated homepage) understood the meaning of my comments as well: >Gwen said nothing about "intellectual deficiency." Being inarticulate doesn't >mean that you are stupid, just that you don't express your thoughts, however >brilliant, very well. I don't want to beat this thread into the ground... but I did want to take a minute to clarify my statements.... Thanks for taking the time to read them.

After several attempts caused by problems of my provider I finally succeeded in subscribing to the mailing list! - So, first of all I'd like to introduce myself to let you know who I am.....My name is Nicole Becker and I am coming from Germany - exactly spoken I'm living in Witten which is more or less near Düsseldorf and Cologne. I am one of those desperate german Melissa fans who are zapping through the TV music-channels searching for any Melissa video/news - most of the time without any success... Is there anyone out there who shares these experiences?? Without the WWW I would be stuck...!! BUT, in only a few weeks things are hopefully changing for me... At the end of April I will be on a trip to San Francisco and L.A. for about 20 days...- a dream will come true for me!! Now, I am looking for someone who might tell me where it is best to find some Melissa stuff over there. If anybody has a hint for me (second hand CD stores???) or is interested in a trade (maybe directly on the spot in San Francisco or L.A.) please let me know!! Just on last Sunday I was able to buy a great double CD of Melissa "live in Ahoy", 02.02.96 on a "CD und Schallplattenbörse"......and I can tell you, her concerts in Holland are fantastic!! By the way, are there any other germans participating at this mailing list? Interested in a trade or something?? Now, I have one last question concerning the Indigo Girls. Does anybody know if the Indigo Girls will be on tour in April/May by chance??? Okay, that's all from me for today - hope to hear from anyone, soon... Take care, Nicole e-mail: 100.131262@germanynet.de P.S. I hope you will get this message only once... Due to problems of my provider I recognized that some of my mails were sent more often!! - So, please don't be angry, I really sent it only once!! ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Apr 1997 15:12:07, -0500 From: WPXQ73B@prodigy.com (MISS APRIL R LEAK) Subject: [none] Hello again all.

Monday, April 7, 1997 In what can only be described as the biggest surprise since we learned the Pope is Catholic, Ellen DeGeneres has announced that she is a lesbian. The comedienne, whose character on her sitcom, Ellen, is scheduled to burst forth from the proverbial closet on April 30, tells Time magazine that she has known she was a lesbian since she was eighteen, and that coming out has been "the most freeing experience." "When I decided to have my character on the show come out, I knew I was going to have to come out too," DeGeneres told Time. "But I didn't want to talk about it until the show was done. I never wanted to be the lesbian actress. I never wanted to be the spokesperson for the gay community. Ever. I did it for my own truth." DeGeneres, who is now the first openly gay star of a television series, says that she's always tried to separate her personal and professional lives, and made a huge effort to avoid questions about her sexual orientation. But now, she says that she feels "completely comfortable with myself and I don't have to be fearful about something damaging my career if it gets out, because now I'm in control if it--sort of." DeGeneres, who admits that she hasn't dated a man since she was twenty, confesses that she's recently met someone, and she wants the relationship "to last forever, if it can." - --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - --------------------------------------------------------- ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 Apr 1997 19:38:24 -0800 From: "Rhondda L.

I wasn't trying to be high brow about it >or to make disparaging remarks about MLE. I truly enjoy her music and I >think she's very talented, creative, brave, etc. it never ceases to amaze me that some people believe that in subscribing to a mailing list, one completely loses the capacity to think objectively about the subject of the mailing list, in this case, MLE. any constructive criticism is automatically suspect, because the *real fans* blindly believe that she can do no wrong and react in a knee-jerk manner to anything remotely "negative." frankly, i can't think of any musician of whom i'm a fan who "walks on water", but that doesn't mean i'm any less of a fan than those that do. i think it's pretty much a given that everyone on this list is a MLE fan or else we wouldn't be here. ms. gwen was just providing her viewpoint and wonderful MLEC discussion material to boot, but she certainly didn't deserve to be called names or denigrated publically. >What I was saying was that, although I enjoy most of her songs, it >seems to me that she's recycling a limited number of themes and that >for me personally, her lyrics are beginning to grow stale. as someone who's been in a committed relationship for what...8 years?, MLE's mined the "lost love / obsessive love" angle pretty thoroughly. i'd be afraid that if she continued in this same vein, that she'd be having to dredge up feelings that will be about 10 years old by the time the next studio album comes out (1998?). i'm not a parent, but i can imagine that in rearing your own children, you are concerned about their future. you are now looking out instead of dwelling within. so, developing more of a global perspective seems to be a natural result of parenthood. it seems to me that MLE's experience as a new parent would provide some material ripe for the picking - something that would be closer to her current reality. of course, i'm speaking completely theoretically here, so if those moms and dads out there want to jump in, please feel free to correct my faulty assumptions. :-) NMEC: is it just me or does anyone else automatically look in their rearview mirror when the police siren from the IG's "shame on you" comes on the radio? damn, it happens to me every time, like pavlov's response! ;-) another YCSWID tour report coming later this evening...stay tuned (or forewarned )... *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Apr 1997 03:01:46 -0800 From: "Rhondda L. Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* YCSWID tour - 12/19 tonight show with jay leno *tour recap* after going to the sacramento show on the 18th, tim, jib, and rhondda had to get up very early the following morning to drive to LA for the leno show taping. *morning* yawn! yawn! yawn! no, it can't really be time to get up already, can it? i can't believe i'm doing this... i wiped the sleep from my eyes, stumbled out of my warm cozy bed for the last time (until the tour was over), and avoided looking in the mirror ("i scare myself...") as i jumped into the shower. after my shower, i went out into the living room and woke up tim and jib. thankfully, we had packed up everything the night (morning?) before, so all we had to do was shower and drag our stuff out to the cars. it was a good thing, too, because i could barely form a coherent thought. for some reason, i kept repeating the mantra, "coffee, i need coffee" to myself over and over again. *tim's phone call* just before we left my apartment, tim called jesse to let her know that he was able to give MLE her B-day CD-ROM personally before the sacramento show. jib and i stood in the living room as he made his call. we could hear jesse's very excited voice from across the living room; it sounded like she said, "OH MY GOD! YOU'RE KIDDING!" jesse's joy was contagious, because we smiled and giggled in response. what a wonderful conclusion to your project, jesse. congratulations! :-) *leaving* we had to run a few errands before we hit the road officially. first stop was to buy gas, then we headed off to the 7-11 for some snacks and ice for the cooler. oh, and coffee, of course! i bought the biggest coffee i could find - it still wasn't big enough. *"...on the road again..."* we're leaving the bay area! jib took the first leg, and i rode shotgun with her, while tim followed us in the trusty buick. getting to I-5 from the peninsula isn't difficult, but you have to know where you're going, so you don't get lost. who would have thought that you have to go south then east then north then east then southeast to finally go south? we drove briefly on southbound Hwy 101 to eastbound Hwy 92. Hwy 92 turns into the san mateo bridge, one of the longest bridges in the bay area (and jib's 4th bay area bridge - - 4 bay area bridges in 3 days ain't bad ). we traveled eastbound on 92 for about 15 minutes, then we switched to Hwy 880 northbound for a couple of miles. then over to the eastbound Hwy 238 connector to eastbound Hwy 580. we drove on eastbound Hwy 580 for many miles, traversing the width of alameda county through the rolling east bay hills, including the windmill-laden altamont pass (near the site of the tragic 1969 [or was it 1970?] rolling stones' concert). finally, Hwy 580 turns southeast and leads directly into southbound I-5. you lost yet? jib drove for about 2 hours before pulling off to a rest stop somewhere on I-5. we stretched our legs and took care of some business, then i took over the next leg. jib decided to jump into the back seat so she could catch some winks. she grabbed a blanket, a pillow, and (dare i say it?) ...her TEDDY! and not just any teddy, mind you, but a faceless one (courtesy of her dog mulder - i won't even describe what other injustices mulder had committed on poor teddy). at this point in the tour, i had already witnessed teddy's secure place in jib's sleeping regimen, but, damn, i wish there was some way i could have obtained a picture of jib and teddy completely under her blanket and still had control of her car as we were barreling down I-5. ;-) if you've ever driven down I-5 to LA before, you know that it is one of the most boring stretches of highway in california. long, boring straightaways separated by even longer sections of nothing. thank god for cruise control! how long do you think it'll be before they devise a car that will steer for you, too? I-5 is also known for being one of the more dangerous stretches of freeway in california. partially, this is due to the sleep-inducing boredom, but it's also due to the central valley's infamous tule fog, which can be especially deadly at night. we hit some fairly serious fog, but it wasn't anything like what tim and i hit on the way to spokane or what we had hit on the way to the sacramento show. it helped that we were driving in the daytime, because the fog started to slowly burn off. if you're wondering how we made it to LA in 5.5 hours, i'd say that part of the reason was because i was driving somewhat over the speed limit (i take the fifth about how *much* over the speed limit i was driving ). i pulled into the rest stop that's located just before the grapevine portion of I-5. we ran around, stretched our legs, and took a few pictures of us leaning against a rustic fence with the beautiful mountains in the background. then, we were off on the final leg of our trip to the NBC studio. the final leg was pretty uneventful. we drove on I-5 through the mountains and into the valley. we had a small map that NBC had sent along with the tix, so the studio wasn't too difficult to locate once we got off the freeway. of course, jib and i had to act like total tourists and gawk at the gaudy buena vista/disney buildings on west alameda along the way to the studio. tim, jib, and i parked in the official NBC parking lot and walked over to the studio. *waiting* since we really didn't know exactly what time we'd arrive, we were going to page allison once we arrived at the studio, and she would jet right over, since she lives fairly near by. john had described allison to me before, so i knew what to look for, however, i wasn't exactly prepared for the reality . when we walked up to the line in front of NBC studio 3, a deep, sultry voice said, "rhondda?" we turned to see allison get out of line and walk toward us. i believe that jib and i gasped in unison, amazed at her *striking* resemblance to a certain female rocker that we all know. ;-) and those little round sunglasses didn't help matters either! jib and i managed to regain our composure enough to sit down in line and spend the next couple of hours chatting with allison as we waited. tim took off to meet up with his contact who was going to get him in for the taping. list gossip was a definite highlight, but i think that's a given when you get list folk together. after exchanging the usual pleasantries (work, family, school), each of us decided to guess how old the others were. jib and i already knew how old the other was, so we just had to guess how old allison was. of course, she wasn't cooperating, saying that she wouldn't tell us, even if we did guess. now, i ask you, is that really fair? personally, i always find it funny when people are evasive about their ages, because i flat out freely admit it (let's just say i'm ripe for a crucifixion - oops, we don't want to start a religious discussion, now do we? ;-) ). however, sometimes i just plain suck at guessing others' ages - can you guess where this is going? alrighty then - it was my turn to guess allison's age, and since i couldn't just cut off one of her limbs and count her rings like a redwood tree, i just had to take a stab at it. take deep breath and just do it! ready? GO! ok, ok, i guessed too HIGH (i told you i suck at this)! allison's horrified reaction was priceless, though. :-) for awhile, i was banished to sleep in jib's car that night instead of allison's nice warm apartment, but i managed to kiss up enough, and all was forgiven. ;-) since we had been waiting so long, jib decided to run back to the car and get some sodas out of the cooler for us. allison and i hung out in line and chatted some more, when the pages came out and started to let people into the studio. they were only letting us in a few at a time, but the line was moving, and jib wasn't back from the car! allison and i were faced with a ethical conundrum - if jib doesn't make it back in time, do we go in without her? she did get us the tickets, after all. hmmm... well, allison and i pretty much decided that if jib couldn't get her sorry ass back in time, that we *would* go in without her, heartless wenches that we are. finally, we saw her slowly strolling up, so allison waved to jib to get her to hurry up. jib made it back in time, tossed the unopened sodas into the bushes for later retrieval, and waited for the last moments. just as i reached the front of the line, reggie, BAB'er andrea tan's roommate, came running up to me. he was going to try to get into the show, so i wished him luck as we walked into the studio. (andrea - did reggie get in?) we had to go through a pretty extensive security check point including a metal detector. my santa hat was confiscated at this point, because it would have been too distracting. oh, gimme a break! the cameras are barely on the audience - duh, they're on jay and the guests! are you saying that i might distract jay? geez...bah humbug. :-P the 3 of us pass through the rest of the checkpoint with flying colors, and finally, we're seated and anxiously waiting the show. *fashion report* i'm not gonna do it this time - y'all saw what she was wearing! at least, her outfit didn't clash with her red and white guitar. *memorable moments* the best memorable moment is the fact that we were there at all. once i realized that MLE was going to be on the leno show during the west coast tour, i suggested to jib that we send away for tix. she was as excited about this as i was! anyway, i get an "A" for the idea, but an "F" for execution, because i never sent a flippin' postcard to NBC. ol' reliable jib did, though, so we have her to thank that we were even inside the studio. a rather fortuitous and life-changing chain of events, wouldn't you say, j? ;-) there really isn't anything to add to our 12/19 and 12/20 reports about the show, except that MLE's "signing" portion ("and they don't understand what they don't see / and they look through you and they look past me") is even *funnier* when you watch it over and over again on the video. and it's also fun trying to pick out all of the shots of us in the audience...not an easy task, and we were there! *post show* we took a couple of pictures of us in front of the "tonight show" sign. allison gave jib and i directions to her apartment "in the hills", and tim, jib, and i walked over to the NBC parking lot to our cars. we said a sad goodbye to tim, because he wasn't going to the phoenix show with us (it was probably a good thing, too, because he was still recovering from his illness), but we would catch up with him for the san diego and LA shows. *kenny and john live in a van down by the river* ok, that's a bold faced LIE, but a catchy subject header, wouldn't you say? :-) as we were driving away, jib saw kenny standing by a truck (van?) in the NBC parking lot. i convinced her to go back so we could talk to him. so, she pulled up to kenny on my side of the car, i rolled down the window, and i made some smart-assed crack about kenny having to play behind bullet-proof glass. kenny opened his mouth and this rough voice emanated from deep, deep down. where did that voice come from? i could sense an east coast (north atlantic) tinge to his voice - isn't kenny from massachusetts originally? kenny explained that they put up the plexiglass so that his drumming wouldn't drown out MLE's singing (his drumming would be picked up on her mike). then, we noticed john picking up broken down cardboard boxes from the ground. whoa, we completely missed seeing john until this point. i think they were loading their equipment into the truck and had to move the boxes out to make room. john asked if we wanted to help him move boxes. now, why we didn't jump out of the car at this moment to help john is beyond me. i will admit that i was a little thrown by talking to the guys, but we had managed to get this far, hadn't we? we failed on some of the little details, though. like the fact that i had a sharpie pen in my purse, and we had 2 cameras in the car! ARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! i think i remembered this *after* the tour was over and i was back home [good move, ashby]. anyway, back to our conversation...i made some cracks to john about how MLE makes them do menial labor, and john jokingly said, "and you thought it was about the MUSIC. she makes us WORK!" kenny and john said goodbye, and we told them that we'd see them in phoenix. as kenny said goodbye, he tapped me twice on my right forearm with his hand. well, days later i was still showing people my "kenny bruise". *little frida's* jib and i met allison at her place and dropped off our stuff (and gloated about our kenny and john encounter ), before heading off to little frida's (the coffeehouse that will be in ellen's coming out episode) to see jib's friend trish play her set. we originally thought that we would have time to go to dinner first, but the tonight show taping took longer than we expected, so we had to wait until after trish's set. we jumped into allison's sleek black automobile (should i mention that i was hanging on for dear life in the back seat? ), and drove over to little frida's. at first, hardly anyone was at frida's when we arrived, but more and more people showed up just in time for trish's set. she was great! after talking to trish for a few minutes, we took off for dinner. *dinner* along the way, allison gave us a brief ellen-related tour (bet you're shocked and surprised at that!), including the beverly center (don't drive by there during xmas time - MLE ), where allison had run into ellen a couple of years ago, and the apartment building that is shown on ellen's show. we headed up winding laurel canyon to have dinner at caioti's, a trendy pizza place run by a guy who says he "taught wolfgang puck how to make pizza." apparently, this place is often frequented by various celebrities, so i will admit that this was part of the attraction; would we see anyone famous? unfortunately, the celebs were taking the night off and staying at home, so we didn't see anybody famous. that's ok, the company was fabulous anyway. :-) i scarfed down a yummy gourmet pizza (probably some of the best food we'd had at this point in the tour), and an equally yummy pint of a local microbrew. not too surprisingly, said pint went right to my head. extreme exhaustion mixed with good food and alcohol, and i was all too ready for sleep. *casa edgy* we got back to allison's just in time to see the leno show on TV. talk about deja vu! it was weird seeing it again, because we knew what was going to happen next, but OTOH, we're seeing it from the camera person's viewpoint and not as audience members. we saw a couple of shots of ourselves in the audience - good thing allison had that aisle seat, because it made it easy to spot us in the swooping camera shots. allison had graciously offered her bed to jib and i, but we felt a little uneasy kicking her out of her own room, so we slept in the living room. jib and i had to drive to the phoenix show the next day, which was exciting since neither of us had been there before (i've been to flagstaff and the grand canyon). it was only a 6 hour drive, a manageable distance after the horribly long drives we'd done earlier in the tour. oh, and we get to stay in the first and last motel of the tour - a "super 8", no less. ...to be continued... *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #27 ****************************** Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 04:02:16 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #28 etheridge-digest Thursday, April 10 1997 Volume 01 : Number 028 *etheridge* NMEC...Questions... *etheridge* NMEC: Bono vs. Falwell Request *etheridge* NME----2 more sleeps *etheridge* X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Mac (v2.2.0, wide beta 6) *etheridge* hi *etheridge* cd europe Re: *etheridge* Re:fave albums (fwd) *etheridge* Ellen *etheridge* Toto, I don't think we're in Pennsylvania anymore! *etheridge* rolling stones - altamont concert *etheridge* Re: someone out there ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 9 Apr 1997 08:23:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Sheryl Schmidt Subject: *etheridge* NMEC...Questions...

How is life in cyberspace treating you all? Been sort of quiet out here lately. Nice isn't it, I mean the quiet. You ever wonder if there was ever someone, somewhere, who is captivated by you and you never knew it??? Just pondering you know me, ponder, ponder, ponder! People have asked me what I think about when I am quiet. Good question. Life I guess. I sometimes wonder about it all. How we all got connected. How we all share and care so much about one another. How cold life would be without caring people in the world. Sort of like how it would be to never hear Melissa's music. I think people who cannot hear still can feel her passion. Can feel her honesty and goodness. Sort of like listening to a stream that has no water running. Quiet, yet still beautiful. I think the wind even shares with us and whispers everything will be alright in the morning. Giving us faith and hope and understanding. Guess I will go now and listen to the quiet.

Ummm....not to take anything away from MLE in the way she does the small stage sets, but I do recall Bryan Adams doing this at a concert several years ago (trying to think of a date, but it's missing). Anyway, it was when I was still back in Newfoundland, and I haven't been there in a while, and I am quite confident it was pre- Yes I Am tour. It was most certainly before the MLE/BA European tour. He showed up on a satellite stage for a while and was mobbed by screaming fans, several of whom he pulled on stage to dance around and make general fools of themselves with him. Of course, to write that means I have to admit to being at a BA concert, something I wouldn't normally be too thrilled about doing (no offense to the BA fans out there....just doesn't do a thing for me). However, I can take some solace in that it was a day-long Canada Day concert with the likes of Steve Miller, the Northern Pikes and Great Big Sea.

Actually, I believe that Bryan used a B stage before MLE incorporated the idea into her act. I saw BA about 4 years ago in my school's arena--before MLE left the small intimate settings behind in favor of larger venues--and he used the B stage then. It was quite the crowd pleaser. I would think it highly likely, however, for BA and MLE to have shared some ideas and feedback during their time together across the pond. As I've always said, I see a great deal of resemblance between BA and MLE--moreso than between MLE and Bruce Springsteen--in both their performance style and writing styles. There are several songs on the most recent BA CD that I could very easily hear MLE singing. jen--back on her "BA and MLE are very much alike" kick! ;-) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Subject: Re: *etheridge* Bio Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 16:15:39 -0400 (EDT) From: ThundrRdBk@aol.com Hey meLISTers- Just to add my 2 cents (that's all I've got, after buying this business!)

I'm not that good in calculating >g<), I'd like to make a few remarks on it anyway. And since Joyce once *invited* listers to discuss her book on the list I'll just go right ahead. *size/oversize* after reading some posts about the book being really oversized, I expected a huge, huge book. I, for my part really like the size of it. It's quite handy IMO. *cover* I like the red cover. Especially the two pictures on front and back cover since they give you MLE now and back in '88. *pics* My favorite one is the black&white shot with Sophie B. Hawkins. I think Melissa's got a beautiful expression on her face on that one! Many of the pics I hadn't seen before so I like them a lot. I also like Joyce's choice of pics. She didn't go for the glamorous ones alone, but showed other pics of MLE, too, on which she doesn't look too gorgeously IMO (and a little bit overweight, ooops) IMO: the older she gets the better she looks!!! (This comes from a woman who'll turn 35 this year and tends to believe that this is true for herself, too. Well, what else can I do?) *authorized/unauthorized* As many others on this list have expressed before, I, too, don't expect a bio to be authorized. If it is, it will explicitly say so. But there is one thing that made me wonder why Joyce has put it in there. At the end of the acknowledgements she says *thank you* to Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher. It is not said what this thank you is for (thank you for the albums, for that career, for simply *being*, and why thanks to Julie?). Since it is at the end of the acknowledgements section where I would expect thank yous to people who helped with research, editing, advice, for being supportive etc, it really confused me. I think one can read it as a real thank you to MLE and JC for personally contributing to this book in one way or the other. Is this the case? What I'm trying to say here is, this last *thank you* gives the bio the scent of being an authorized one. Probably this is just my misinterpretation, but it struck me kind of. One other thing I was missing. And that is a little information on the author. Who is she, what does she do for a living, her *relationship* with MLE etc. I *know* Joyce from this list, but people who are not on the list, might wonder who Joyce is and what her motives are for writing a bio about MLE. This way it's kept quite anonymous and I wondered why. I would have liked to read at least a couple of sentences about that. *the book itself* I came home late last night and I found the book in my mail box. I was quite tired, so I decided to go to bed and read just a couple of pages. That was around 10PM. I put the book down at 3AM - and had finished it. IMO the book is absolutely outstanding!!!! I loved it from beginning to end. I like Joyce's style a lot. Her way of quoting didn't bother me at all. I'm glad that there are so many articles she makes reference to (something I really missed with Nickson's bio where you always have to wonder where exactly he/she (?) got that from). So many of the things I didn't know, which were new to me. Although I've been a Melissa fan for a couple of years, it's not so easy to get this kind of information about her over here, especially about what she did in the 80s. And I could go on and on, but I find it a bit hard for me to explain what I *exactly* feel about her book in English. To describe the black and white stuff or say yes or no is OK, the *inbetween* is not that easy. Hi, Joyce! Thanks for keeping me up all night (and I had to get up at 6 AM this morning). But your book was worth it absolutely - as well as waiting for 2 months for it to arrive!!!!! See ya, Martina ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Apr 1997 12:06:43 -0400 (EDT) From: Sleighgirl@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* hi Audrey, I too am new but I have been lurking for some time and all you've missed is a great big telling off sesion.

Quite a while ago I saw the movie *Three of hearts* - no comment on the plot ... ~:# Those of you who saw it might remember the loveletter this guy Joe wrote for homework, the one Connie dictated. I bought the book (the German translation resp. transcription) to the film and there it says, the loveletter was originally written by a Japanese Poet called Marakiko. I tried to find her in various databases - - nothing. Now my request: if somebody owes the American original of *Three of hearts* could you please investigate for me the pronounciation of this Poets name? Or does anybody know her work anyway?

I watched it anyway and I liked it, but found it very unsettling. Has anyone on this list seen this movie??? It's about two teenage girls in Australia who fall in love and their parents want keep them apart and it has a terrible ending. It's also a true story. Has anyone ever seen this movie?? I'd be interested some other opinions. Later, Julie (& Olivier, who slept through the whole movie, he said it was a woman's movie, I'm working on him though) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Apr 1997 12:16:29 -0500 (CDT) From: glenn damon m Subject: *etheridge* Hi Hi everybody, I finally picked up the biography, and I would a pretty darn good book.

Martina had many, many nice things to say about the bio (thanks, Martina! ), but she did wonder about two matters, and so I wanted to address them: (1) the thanks to MLE and Julie in the acknowledgements and (2) why there's no "about the author" info on the book. (1) Wow, you actually read the *acknowledgements!* LOL ;-) I wasn't trying to give across the idea that I had actually gotten info from Melissa and Julie in thanking them.....that's why I put the thanks to them at the end of the acknowledgements rather than up at the beginning with all the wonderful people I had thanked for help with the research. I guess I felt the need to thank them, just as I had thanked my own family (who also had not very much to do with the writing of the book ) because...well....because *they* were the subject of the bio (well, at least Melissa fully, Julie somewhat). I think I just wanted to show that I am appreciative of the fact that, just by being themselves, they indirectly gave me the opportunity to write a book, to get a foot in the door in the publishing world, that I'm just grateful for who they are and what they do and...does this make any sense? I guess maybe it's a little schmaltzy. But I just felt *grateful* for the entire opportunity and didn't take that for granted. It wasn't my intention for that to make the book appear "authorized" or whatever. Hope no one else is misled by that. (2) About the author: I had to submit, along with the manuscript, a 250-word description of myself. I honestly don't know why it didn't appear anywhere in the book.....probably just no room on the back cover--?? It wasn't my decision to leave it out...um....maybe the press just thought I'm really boring! LOL ;-) But they did at least load a little blurb about me to the press' Website, so if you want to go see it, here's the URL: http://www.ecw.ca/press Click on New Releases and follow the links.

The May '97 Curve mag. with a baby on the cover mentions Melissa and Julie in the "Gayby Boom" article. It's pretty standard stuff -- focusing on the announcement of the pregnancy, how the media reacted, the 20/20 interview, etc. But there is a nice little picture (not much bigger than 1" x 2") of the two of them. On a NMEC tip.... the last page of this mag. has pictures of the kd/Ellen kiss.

Melissa swinging a brick in a stocking huh? I don't think so...Phew, it's just as well the connection ends before there Heavenly Creatures was filmed in NZ...actually in Christchurch where I am...there was public disapproval for the movie here when it was being made because residents thought that it glorified the horrific deed suffered by Pauline Parker's mother in Victoria Park. The Staff club at The UNiversity of Canterbury, where I am studying, was the Hulme's house in the movie production...we had our dept. BBQ there the year the movie was released and one of the real characters in our class comes skipping into the BBQ area swinging a brick in a stocking...I though it was quite funny but there were those who had no sense of humour about the whole thing and thought it was quite tasteless. I think I would have liked the movie if it did not have such a horrible violent ending - but then I guess it is hard to change the ending if it is a true story. Janet said one of the girls is the author Anne Perry - does anyone know anything else about the girls lives now? # Yep, 20/20 recently, last year I think, did an interview with Anne Perry about it...she denies any lesbian relationship with Pauline and says she still regrets what they did. She lives in a remote part of Scotland and in such a small village that the residents there were quite shocked when they found out her past...they interviewed some of them though and they said that she was an asset to their village and they really liked her despite her past. She lives with her aging mother. Pauline Parker (whose mother was the victim of the brick) is rumoured to still live in NZ. Immigration say she has never left the country...she's obviously changed her name and is living her life very quietly. The conditions set out on their release were that they should NEVER have any contact with each other after the trial...so far according to Anne Perry, that has been adhered to. She was asked what she would do if Pauline tried to talk to her and she just said simply that she would have nothing to say to her...that it was such a long time ago that it's a chapter in her life that's well behind her. There is a good web site all about them...well there was a while back...check it out with a search...sorry I haven't got the site address anymore. The only other sad part about the whole affair, the murder being the first, was the fact that it was utilised as an event depicting the sinister nature of 'abnormal' friendships...lesbianism has been linked and blown out of porportion perviously after another lesbian murderous couple in Australia back in the 1970's. Let me see if I can remember thier names...bugger...my memory is fading fast...anyhow they bopped of some dude in a gruesome murder in Sydney...Liz might be able to supply more details if you're into gruesome details...

Mardi here. Just wanted to let you know that we ..The Velvet Janes...released our cd here in Aust on Friday night, to a capacity crowd. (along with our video too!) yahooooo.... A number of people on this list wanted to purchase one when it came out so, if you haven't already recieved a note from me about that and you would like to buy a copy please email me privately with info regarding how many, preferred method of payment etc.. and I will get back to you. This is our first cd and is actually only an EP (4 songs...but 4 really good songs!!) and sells for Aus $12.00 plus postage. Infact this release is kinda a 'collectors' edition because the printers printed the cover upside down!! (Yeah, it wasn't funny at the time!) But it is only for this run..the new one comes in in a week. Thanks..hope this finds everyone well...hey, where is Andrea Tan gone - anyone know?

In fact, two people down South I know from online have told me they went into their local Barnes & Nobles to buy the book, didn't find it on the shelf, asked for it, and then the clerk went and brought their copies up from the back for them, saying that they had to keep them in the back. I know, I know, that's weird, and Nickson's book certainly mentions Melissa's lesbianism, too, but....maybe that one's more easily available in "mainstream" stores because that book is printed by St. Martin's Griffin, a mainstream press? I dunno. It certainly is irritating. Interestingly, I understand that the U.S. distributor for *both bios* is Login, and despite the difficulty some folks are having finding it, OUR LITTLE SECRET has still outsold Nickson's book by twice as many copies. It's selling like hotcakes in gay bookstores.....so my suggestion would be to try gay or women's bookstores. As Deb pointed out the other day (thanks, Deb!), it's the number #3 bestseller among women purchasing books in gay bookstores across the United States. And the book is already in its third printing. So go figure! ;-) Otherwise, Barnes & Noble and Ingram are two large mainstream stores that most certainly have made purchases of the book....B & N initially purchased 1,000, and then those flew off the shelves, so they've more recently purchased 4,000 more. So they have it in their warehouse....what you might have to do, if your store doesn't have it, is ask the store to order it for you. You don't pay mail order charges that way, and Login has the book in stock, so I'd give it about a week to get to your store. Hmmmm. If you have to resort to mail order, Thunder Road Books has it; Lambda Rising online has it; Amazon.com has it. Good luck!

Well, we are all finding out when you know you are a fem. it was a rel hoot watching the this and helping add to the list at the infamous "Shirleys" tavern in Cincy.! So Shirl how's the curling iron? :) Well, I have come up with a few other "You Know It Whens" in my life lately. Such as you know it when you are a true Melissa fan when you go out and buy a new Tacoma 4X4 and then immediately stop right off the lot at the local Media Play to buy a Melissa CD you already own but don't have with you just so Melissa will be the very first to grace the CD player in your new truck!!! "Guilty" I know it! And My! Oh My! how sweet it sounds! Nothing like that new truck smell! Ahhh! Nothing like never having a CD player in a vehicle you owned and then having one! Nothing like that sound! "YES!" Sort of the same feeling one gets when you first hear "I Love You!" :) Whew Weeee!!! Yes, I Love My Truck! :) New name time! I wonder if there is a book somewhere on names for new trucks??? Sort of like "You Know It When" All of a sudden you get a rush of pure joy at the simple thought of someone! Yep I Know It! And they know it too! :) Well enough about that. Won't be worth a darn all day! I have a new truck waiting in the parking lot with Melissa in the CD player and I Know It When I walk up to it that these things are on common ground. The love of my truck, the love of the music in my truck, the love I have somewhere out there waiting for me and all in all it is like having a new baby myself! Gonna treat it kindly and gently and be tender and loving and listen to the music in her soul and who knows, maybe just maybe one day everyone will know it! And all that is left is when! :) Sieze The Day!

And Chelle2930@aol.com chimed in: >Me too! I was in Barnes and Noble in Dallas today, and I've been to Book >People in Austin and I can't find it anywhere. I spotted Joyce's book this weekend in both a Tower Records store and Borders Books in the Maryland suburbs outside D.C. That was cool. :-) Speaking of books.... is anyone on the list familiar with the Canadian author, Tanya Huff? Jen recently introduced me to her work and now I'm hooked. Huff's written this one series (the newest and supposedly last book of this series is due out May 1st), about a female detective whose partner, Henry Fitzroy is the 450 yr. old bastard son of King Henry VIII. Henry is a vampire who writes "bodice-ripper romance novels" when he's not helping Vicky solve crimes. This series is really terrific. Huff has also written quite a few other books. The other series of hers that I'm reading now is in the fantasy genre and these books are great too. The first one is titled, "Sing the Four Quarters." One of the interesting things about Huff's stories is that typically she makes about 50% of her characters gay or bi. Plus, the men and women share leadership roles on an equal basis. And it's all handled very matter-of-factly. If anyone's looking for some good fiction with great character development and interesting plots, give Tanya Huff a try. Gwen (who admits to sending a S.A.S.E. to the official Tanya Huff fan club and is seriously thinking about joining) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Apr 1997 10:45:43 -0400 (EDT) From: JENNIFER SASS Subject: Re: *etheridge* Biography On Sun, 13 Apr 1997 EmilyAmy@aol.com wrote: > I just got a biography of MLE today (Not yours Joyce, I couldnt find it > *anywhere*) and I was wondering if anyone has read Chris Nickson's bio of > MLE?

If you'd like to join us.....the more the merrier, send me an email and give me your mailing address so I can send you a cute little "Join Us For Ellen's Lebanese Adventures" invite. Once you get the invitation, we'll need a RSVP and how many will be joining us, by April 24th. I hope to see you there! Sheri sheriy@starwave.com P.S.

Mardi here. Just wanted to let you know >that we ..The Velvet Janes...released our cd here in Aust on Friday night, >to a capacity crowd. (along with our video too!) yahooooo.... For those ME-listers who were *not* here one year ago, or who otherwise missed the two weeks of rowdy reports of their first U.S. visit, allow me to describe this remarkable musical duo. Mardi and Rose (The Velvet Janes) arrived at my San Jose apartment exactly one year ago this week, and found over a dozen ME-listers awaiting their arrival. After several hours of shared food, fun, and frivolity, Mardi and Rose broke out their guitar and treated us to a remarkable 2:00am private concert, the memory of which *still* covers me with goosebumps. Their energy, their tight harmonies, their deeply personal lyrics... whew! One week later they were given an opportunity to perform at a local San Jose coffeehouse, opening for a very popular all-women band called Riverpoets, and they tore the roof off the place, getting a standing ovation from all attending. When Riverpoets took the stage, they said 'how can anyone follow those two babes from Australia'... during Mardi and Rose's performance, the Riverpoets drummer could be seen dancing with reckless abandon in the back of the house... I think she *really* wanted to play with Mardi and Rose. :) All of us who saw their performance have been awaiting news of their debut release for the last year. The *only* music of theirs we've had in the interim is a single copy of their demo tape which they made me promise *not* to copy, so I've been holding private listening parties for a few people who just could not wait for this release. I think y'all are going to love their music!

"Pooh" said that she bought a new truck and stopped to buy an ME CD to play in it. I recently installed a CD player in my car, and ME was the first CD in. And, it stayed in for about a week. Then, I rotated it around. Reading everyone's notes has made me nostalgic, so this past friday, I had my own little ME fest at work. I am a designer, so I put on my ear phones, sat at my computer, and switched out ME CD's from first to most recent all day long. It was incredibly wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone.

So i had both within the week.I heard mention of Barnes and Noble Bookstores and was surprised they dont have it, since i travel to Cedar Rapids to the nearest B&N since they have two full rows of Lesbian and Gay books(not just women's studies-and might i add) the best darn cappacinno and latte i've ever had.

Jen recently introduced me to her work and now I'm > hooked. Huff's written this one series (the newest and supposedly last > book of this series is due out May 1st), about a female detective whose > partner, Henry Fitzroy is the 450 yr. old bastard son of King Henry VIII. I couldn't resist delurking about this ("forbidden but I could NOT RE--SIST")... [more info on huff's stuff 8^) in case you're interested. If not, please hit that space bar (digest), or that "next" key (bounce) ] Ah! The "Blood" Series from Huff! Not sure about the order, but here are the titles: Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines and Blood Pact. I LOVE that series but then again, I'm VERY biased, seeing as how I lived in Toronto and passed by the streets that are mentioned in the books almost every day....and the conversations are very Canadian (or at least Torontonian) -- Everybody I know swears like Vicky 8^) . What else? Vision problems and the fourth book features some really really .. um.. let's say, ambitious, grad students. How can I not love'em?? I've been lending out this series out to all my friends (and, quick check, yup, the books are currently on loan), including to those who aren't into sci-fi/fantasy just because they are so hilarious. They (my friends that is) have all loved them (the books). I'd read that the fifth book was to be out April, 1997 but seeing how it already IS April, 1997, I'd guess that Gwen's date is correct. I also haven't heard anything from my book list, which like this list, does not restrict its topics to only the artist for which it was established. (IOW, I'd have heard that the new book was out). BTW, although there are currently four novels out from this series (I like to refer to them by the antagonists Vicky and Henry have to face: demon, werewolves -- ok, so the werewolves weren't the bad guys -- , mummy and zombie), there IS another short story that features Vicky -- I haven't yet found the anthology in which it is purported to be in, but then again, I haven't exactly had time to go browsing through the bookshops ($$$ also being a problem...) > Huff has also written quite a few other books. The other series of hers > that I'm reading now is in the fantasy genre and these books are great too. > The first one is titled, "Sing the Four Quarters." Second title is something like "No Quarter" (always reminds of the Led Zep title) and the third, something like "The Fifth Quarter". Interesting thing about what Gwen said re: gay characters in the book. In the story, as an aside, the Royal Family tried to make a political match between their gay prince and a gay prince from another realm (hope that made sense). I thought that was interesting. I'd never encountered that idea in any of the spec. fiction that i'd read previous to StFQ, and I don't think it's ever happened in real life/history (but then again, I could just be ignorant). And, in keeping with the book thread.. In case you hadn't guessed, I'm a grad student (in Vision Science -- I can hear the light bulbs going on -- that is, if you made it through all that drivel), so wrt to the quotations of referenced material, i have to say that I like the parentheses method. I dislike the number system (you know -- "in the human eye, the cornea provides two-thirds of the refractive power needed to focus light on the retina (1)"), while the only practice I've had in reading footnotes were when I read Terry Pratchett's and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens". Not quite the same I think... Whew! Sorry folks. Didn't mean to prattle on and on. Blame Gwen for starting this thread!

Some of you may be familiar with singer/songwriter Wendy Bucklew who recently moved back to southern California after a few years playing in the Atlanta music scene...

For those of you living in southern California, she is playing a *free* show April 17 (this Thursday) at the Troubador... following is a note I received from Lorene Machado, who does Wendy's promotion: >This just in -- Wendy Bucklew will be playing The Troubadour in West >Hollywood on Thursday, April 17th at 8pm.

They were great! I also passed them around to quite a few friends. The books are now pretty worn out and proudly sitting on my book shelf. I'm sooooo pleased to know that there is another book in process. I'll have to keep an eye open for it. I didn't know she wrote any fantasy. Fantasy happens to be a hobby of mine, in more ways than one. {Please, Alex, don't go there with me. Although I do have an obsession for tattoos, but don't have one.} . So, the fantasy books, in order, are: *Sing the Four Quarters*, *No Quarters,* *The Fifth Quarter*? I'm on my way to the bookstore to purchase these books, as soon as I'm sure of the titles. I've enjoyed reading all the Patricia Cornwell novels. I've been reading her novels before the big scandal. She also has a bi, gay, transgender character in each of her books. In fact, her niece, Lucy (novel character) is gay. Gwen: Linda and I will see you Thursday night at the Birchmeyer. We are going to try to make it in time for dinner and the show (Melissa Ferrick & Lisa Germano). NMEC I received a e-mail from Mardi, I want to purchase one of the Velvet Jane CDS. Is there anybody in the DC/MD/VA area that is coordinating a large purchase and then distributing them? Otherwise, I'll drop my money in the mail this week. Colleen *Politics of Love* These words keep ringing in my mind- How do we battle against the loss, the sorrow, and the separation? I return from my family - in need of your comfort - only to find you silenced by your own family, as if we should be ashamed of our love. How can we battle against the loss? We will fight it with our own ceremony sealed by silver rings - a sacred union - and by becoming family to each other. We are two women in love - and we must fight the silent war of being invisible/or despised. We will have our sacred union and wear our matching silver bands- and we will not allow fear or doubt to destroy our bond. In this world full of cruelty a pair of rings is a small symbol, but it is only a beginning.... We will continue to fight against the loss of family, dignity, and pride..... We will win our freedom for our strength lies within- and we both are committed to the politics of love... Dori A.

I would have responded yesterday to all your posts but alas, I was in Columbus getting a sunroof installed in my new truck!! Yepper! I can now be a: "Toyota Chick Driving Magnet With The Top Off!!" Whoooo! Hoooooo! Big Smile! Big Smile!!! To answer some questions: Dan my old truck was dark blue with that swish! So you were close with it but the new Tacoma is: Cardinal Red! And the first Melissa CD was: The extended single with the version of: Nowhere To Go! I love the acoustical on that one! The first cassette is: With Many Thanks To Ms Jones! :) "Live At The Bottom Line!" I still am not sure of the name for the truck or it's sex as of yet! For some reason the name "Benny" keeps popping in my head! From the movie: "Benny & June" Can't help it! I am in love with Mary Stuart Masterson! Hmmm! think she would like a ride in my new truck??? Hey! It Could Happen!! :) But that is not a solid name yet. Second CD was Terri Clarks Just The Same! Yeah I am in love with her as well!!! Just something about those outfits she wears! Be still my heart! Now I bet she would love a ride in my new truck!!! Yes, I Love My Truck!!! Is that a butch thang??? Be Still Joyce! I know you think I am a Butch Bear!!! We could put it to the Cincy Melisters for a vote. Okay so the new truck is Cardinal Red, has a sunroof, bed cover, you can hide under it if you want to sneak in the drive in! Do Ya Wanna! Could be fun! ANyone ever do that before! Guilty! It is the little red vest everyone thinks I am too cute and they overlook my humaness! Just slip right on in that movie! :) Alarm system on the new truck, bucket seats, CD and cassette player I am excited! I Really Love My Truck! Makes driving to work a whole new experience! Actually had some woman smiling at me from her Jeep yesterday! Sorry Shirl it wasn't you! :( So I guess that should answer some questions about the new truck. Still open for names. Bring em on! Pooh sat silently staring at the stars feeling very content in her life at the moment. She felt very fortunate and very lucky for at this time in her life she felt at home. A new truck sat awaiting her in her driveway, the weather was getting warmer and bees were making honey in the forest nearby. A quiet little sigh told her to count her blessings and enjoy those who loved her and rest easy at this time for truly she has come so far for a bear of such little brain. Where there is hope anything is possible. Much Warmth, "POOH" ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 08:15:49 -0500 From: goodman@pcs.mot.com (David Goodman) Subject: *etheridge* Random thoughts Hi All, I read somewhere recently that the director (or producer) of the Joplin movie with ME in it was involved with a few other pictures as well. I don't remember the names but I remember I was NOT impressed. Anyone remember? Anyone get the MEIN newsletter? There was not one useful bit of information in it. A post tour/baby interview would have been nice. Saw Melissa Ferrick in Chicago a few weeks ago and also got the new CD. I really really like this woman. And she is so personable when you talk to her. The show was sold out and a friend of mine was stuck outside and couldn't get in and Melissa went to the door and pointed to him and ussered him in for me. Very cool. I didn't even ask. You can order her latest CD, Melissa Ferrick + 1 by calling 1-800-782-1484. The web site is http://www/hidewater.com/ferrick/ She's opening for Lisa Germano, who by the way, was horrible live. People who went to see her were leaving in the middle of her show. She pales in comparison to Ferrick. Does anyone hear have the addresses of the Sarah McLachlin or Aimee Mann mailing lists? I really want information on new releases. There has to be something with Lillith Fair coming up.

I'm in Pennsylvania, and she played at the Courtyard, which is a bar in a Days Inn hotel, which is near Harrisburg a few months ago. I heard the show was excellent! I don't know for sure but I would hazzard a guess that she will be big soon. Although I'm hoping she comes by here again in the smaller clubs before that happens. We also heard one of her songs playing at the beginning of some TV movie of week a while back.

And the thought occurred to me...what better excuse for a PNW list gathering than a wedding?The ceremony itself will be a pagan/Celtic handfasting at Gasworks Park on the hill (you know, the one with the sundial) at night. We're telling folks to show up around 8pm...that will give us time to go around and "Hi, howareya?" people to death before we actually tie the knot. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, this will be a BYOE wedding.....Bring Your Own Everything. We're broke, so unfortunately all we can afford to bring is us. If you want food, bring it...if you want drugs, bring it....if you want music, BRING IT....we're gonna try to scrape up some extra cash for goodies, but it doesn't look good right now.

Three things: 1- Beth Hart I know that I could not possibly be the only one that saw her when she was on Star Search. Could I really? No Way! I remember when she first preformed on the show- she did some song that she'd written herself. One word- WOW! I fell for her and her music in one fell swoop. At that point I didn't even listen to anything but Country. Didn't discover MLE unitl a while later. Anyway, Beth Hart won the big finale competition where she got a recording contratct, etc. I waited for two years for her album to come out. When it did I was almost disappointed- her sound was much more refined thatn it had been. I liked the roughness she had in the begining. I've given her album a second chance and listened for what I like and found it- mixed in with all the other stuff. So yeah she is good. Would I be wrong if I assumed that her live preformances far outweighed her recorded sound? 2- Terri Clark I also saw her preform with MLE in Memphis. A big highlight of my evening considering how close to the small stage I was. I agree with whoever said, "she can't possibly be strait, not if I have anything to do with it". Have you heard her song "Emotional Girl"? Minor lyric adjustment and it's perfect- my theme song. The videos? Hat on / Hat off, either way if you ask me. Good to know that someone else likes her too. 3-Joyce's Bio Loved it. Nuf said! Wish I had some of those pics in poster size.

This weekend I was waiting in an interminable checkout line at the K-mart, and fell to the depths of skimming thru the available reading material. Since they didn't have my absolute fave, Weekly World News , I picked up the April Cosmopolitan, with its cover story teaser, something along the lines of 'subjects about sex that men won't talk about'. This subject turns out to be female masturbation. ... Before you spend the $$ - not much content here . But, somewhere into the article (my excuse for seeing it - left-had column on a left page), they're saying it depends on the fantasy a woman is having at the time.

Hi Ya Gang! Poohster here! :) Yeah still grinning from the ride to work in my truck! :) So Terri sang with Melissa in Memphis! Still no word from anyone on a boot of that one! :( Guess my honey is still safe. Though a picture is second best! Anyone have one?? So far I have Benny and Scooter for names. Still searching though. I have been trying to come up with a Melissa oriented name. Glad to see others have discovered Terri and Beth Hart. I discovered Beth Hart from Loretta ( Paw Waving! Big Smile!:)  Hi Loretta!!! I really like her alot though another artist Loretta turned me onto that I enjoy even more is: Caroly Wonderland! Love her music alot! I have been truly blessed by the friends I have met on this list and want to take this time to say: I Love Ya All! You know who you are. You have all reached into my heart and touched me and made my life very warm and I feel very loved and wanted to say I feel very fortunate and grateful for your warmth and love and sincerity. Also "Thanks!" to Dave And Glenna for your hard work and effort to give us this place we all have come to know as home where most of the time we find compassion and comfort and may I say it is great to be a part of this family. Now on to other matters! Time to boycott "Wendy's" they have pulled the plug on sponsering "Ellen" No more hot and juicy burgers or chocolate frosty's from Dave. Shame on ya man! I found out the new sun roof did not leak! As a big storm swept though the woods last night and put it to a test. Whew! Very Big Sigh!! Now all I need is a warm sunny day so I can go topless! A bear going topless! Would anyone pay to see that??? Na! Let's not go there! I will keep my wittle wed vest on! :) I have rambled enough. Time to strap on the toolbelt and keep people talking. This I leave you with: Take a minute today to say: "I love you!". Tell the ones you know and love today for you might not have tomorrow. In the blink of an eye they could be gone or you could be. And it feels so good to hear it and saying it though may be hard at times warms your heart and soul. And that is such a good feeling for everyone. So here: I love ya all! I send you a both pawed hug and hope your heart catches the warmth within. Much warmth, "POOH" ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 07:47:05 -0500 (CDT) From: glenn damon m Subject: *etheridge* Hi POOH Hey POOh, You this obsessed behavior you have towards your truck can be verry disturbing, but who can blame you it must be one fine truck to make you glow the you are.

Murder in the First (which I thought was excellent) Where the Day Takes You (which features an MLE song) Dream a Little Dream (a fun CoreyX2 vehicle) Scenes from the Goldmine >> Hi, it's me again (Nancy in L.A. who worked on Teresa's Tattoo). Well, I worked on Where The Day Takes You as well. Both films were produced by CineTel films. I actually came in at the end when we were completing opticals and getting final prints made for screenings and release. Where The Day Takes You actually featured several Melissa songs - all previously released and mostly from Brave and Crazy. She had written original songs for the movie, but Columbia Tri-Star (the company financing the movie) didn't want to put the money up for the songs. Rocco and MLE were a little upset because Columbia Tri-Star had given the go ahead. Using the previously released music was cheaper. The premiere screening was the first time I met Melissa and Julie. They sat one row up and to the right of where I sat. Ellen was with them. (It was an exciting night for me.) FYI - You'll note that Marc Rocco is a producer on Teresa's Tattoo. He helped get CineTel to make the movie. Rocco's partner, Phil McKenzie (Tommy from t.v.'s Alice), was a producer-type also. Originally, they had hoped to have Brad Pitt in Teresa's Tattoo. Hope you all have a great day!

I can't help it if she blushed and I had to lean in to take a closer look. As for tonight's D.C.

Diane Sawyer's interview with Ellen, originally scheduled April 23 on ABC's "Prime Time Live" has been *rescheduled* to run two days later (April 25) on Barbara Walters' "20/20".

I would not be surprised if there were more. Yes, Melissa performed YCSWID, but it was cut from the televised show due to time limitations... the YCSWID video was later broadcast during the VH1 'tickets first' held to kick off her 1995 YIA tour...

I don't remember this at all.... ;) > The only car I've had >that didn't do well by me was my first, aned I think it was cuz i didn't >name her...no relationship developed. -marcy My first car was a 1970 Ford Maverick. I alternately called it Ralph and Death Trap. It only had compression in 3 of 6 cylinders when it was towed off to the junkyard. My next car was/is a 1978 Monte Carlo. It's named Christine. I've had it for 17 (that's right, SEVENTEEN) years. It's been stolen 3 times. I still have it. I'm afraid to get rid of it. Stephanie mentioned: >I named my 1983 whits grand marquis, her name is Bertha. I've had >her since the beginning of high school:) Hey, I've been calling my new (well, relatively new) car that! It's a '94 Camaro, and it's even wider that my old Monte, and an absolute ^$#&^*( to back into my tiny garage. We can't have two cars on the list with the same name! I'll just have to start calling it marcy.... :) On the topic of Melissa Ferrick....I also got the Melissa Ferrick+1 CD from Hidden Water, and it's great. My only criticism of it is that the mix is off on some of the tracks, which is especially noticeable through headphones. Also, a followup to my MF concert post of a few weeks ago. Last week, I went to see Ani Difranco (who was her usual fantastic self) and after the concert, someone came up to me and asked me if I was on this list! She had been sitting behind me at the Melissa Ferrick show and recognized me. Her roomate, I guess, is on this list (another Iowa lister????), saw my post about MF, and asked her if she remembered the, um, "incident." She did, and then recognized me at the Ani concert. Which just goes to show...we're EVERYWHERE...

My car is a white (and rust) 1976 Monte Carlo. (This makes her older than me -- she's old enough to drink, but I'm only 18.) :) I named her Mobie after her little brother, Moby Dick. :) My friend calls her "the Sherman Tank," but we can easily pile the entire group of us into her, and she's one heck of a lot more comfortable than his car. (So there!!) I joined the list a few days ago and am really happy I did... I *worship* ME, as I'm a guitarist also... I can play every song from YLS, almost every song from YIA, half of B&C, half of ME and KIP from NE. I think the main reason I love ME (outside of the way she looks in those leather pants... YOWZA!!) is because her songs seem to cover my thoughts about life at whatever given time. These days it's "The Letting Go". (And if anyone knows where I can get the sheet music to that, can you let me know?? I'm trying real hard to learn it on my own but I don't play piano very often) :) My real name is Anjela and I'm finishing my freshman year at Indiana U. as we speak. Three more weeks!!! And I couldn't begin to say which is my favorite album/song/video. A curious question: has anyone else ever had the thought that Never Enough could *easily* be a story, rather than just an album? It never occurred to me until my life actually became that story. And as I said before I'm on The Letting Go right now. :) Going to run off to dinner before Star Trek now...

Yeah, but the "I'm a mom, could you sign this so I can get home" line didn't work. :D Dave, I'm not surprised that Lisa Germano lost a lot of the audience at your show; she lost a few here, but not too many. Too bad she opened with several songs from the new CD (which is organ-based, and I don't like it at all), rather than recognizing the audience she had and starting with some of the guitar-based songs from earlier CDs. I think plenty of MF fans would like "You Make Me Wanna Wear Dresses." Oh, well. Tracey might've liked it, being another MLE fan with rather eclectic tastes, but not many could've made the leap from acoustic-guitar strumming to Roland organ fugues. :) - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ______________________________________________________________________ (ClarkNet address & Web site still active for the foreseeable future.) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Apr 1997 10:17:44 -0400 From: CJ Subject: *etheridge* NMEC Vehicle Names Okay, while we're all talking about vehicle names, I just had to delurk to throw in two cents for those of us riding the two wheeled variety.

Well, this is what I've heard, from two separate people who don't know each other (but I still can't confirm the info for sure). Supposedly at some point in Melissa's "pre-fame" days, she was part of an all-women's band that once did a small summer tour of women's bars, etc. Maybe this was 1985, 86ish? There is supposedly even a cassette tape they were selling of them, copies of which are floating around in the world out there. Sorry, don't know the band's name. Anyway, Albuqurque (uhhh..did I spell that right?) could very well have been one of the band's stops.

Now, let's get on to what we are all here for. Melissa. I think the sweetest gift is the smile that comes from those innocent and trusting eyes. A small child held in the arms of a mother. Very Big Sigh! Melissa and Julie are very blessed and I know their hearts are flowing over with hope, joy and love. And who else deserves it more? Pooh sat back on her paws looking up at the sky pondering. Spring! New life, new warmth, blue skies, white clouds. Gently placing her ear to the ground she could hear the flowers growing. Bailey is growing too! My! Oh My! I can hear those little feet running down the hallway now and those wet babykisses up side the face will be a treasure that will last throughout the years. We are truly fortunate to have shared in this together and it will be so much fun to watch the little tyke grow up and hopefully by the time she has reached her dream we will have too and ignorance and bigotry will be but a memory. And maybe, just maybe, everyone will speak true and treat one another with love and respect and life will be precious. Hope everyones week-end is filled with hope and warmth and lots of sunlight to bask in and I hope we all believe in the promise that every raindrop makes a flower grow and every moonbeam a light to see in the dark. Keep It Precious!

Here in northern Vermont it is snowing yet again and actually sticking to the ground. Will it ever be spring? Just when I had had enough of drudging through the weather to run errands, I stopped in the video store to rent movies for tonight and playing on the radio was CTMW!! I know this day has to improve from here. Happy Spring to everyone who really has it! Darlene P.S. I have been enjoying everyone's descriptions of their first cars. My first car was a GMC Pacer similar to the one driven in the movie "Wayne's World". Besides looking like a fishbowl, the distributor cap kept coming loose and I had to reconnect it. What was even worse is that sometimes the car wouldn't start for no reason at all. It made even driving to the neighborhood store an adventure. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Apr 1997 14:40:57 EDT From: "Jane Vaughn" Subject: *etheridge* X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Mac (v2.2.0, wide beta 6) Hey Gang, Once again I am inspired to say I cannot possibly return what has been given so graciously and freely. I am but what you think I am. A bear of little brain yet with a heart willing to give and ask nothing in return. I am but a dreamer of dreams and a visionary of how wonderful life could be if we were to see through the eyes and hearts of the children. I know we all have good hearts just as I know the spring will come after the winter and just as surely as I know the fall will place a blanket on the ground to comfort and protect the earths precious gifts. We are but a small cup which once filled cannot help but run over and spill it's goodness to the earth below and in doing so bless those in the path of its spillage. I am positive of these things just as I am sure together we can make a difference and the energy we share and the love we give so freely to one another does make a difference. In the meadow grows a tender flower that as I child I would sit and pick for hours to get a bouquet for they were so very fragile and small. But the blessing it brought when given away still warms my heart today. Go, pick the flowers of the field and then give. Your reward will bring you and others warmth for years to come. Much Warmth,, "POOH" ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Apr 1997 20:40:28 +0100 From: ACE@universal.nl (MD) Subject: *etheridge* for sale hi y'all, I have three bootlegs of Melissa Etheridge for sale. 1. the witch queen of cologne, a live concert in cologne at the 5 of february, 1996 it's a double cd for $59,95 2. melissa unplugged.

It was great to run into all the Macarena-listers... I am a MF convert now! I think she won over many people in the audience, even if just for her 90's spin on Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl".... Lisa Germano, so talented; unfortunately, ummm, well, Colleen wrote: <<>> Phoebe is *MUCH* better live. <> Fortunately there were no sharp objects in the bathroom for me to use once I escaped the front row of the Birchmere, leaving Tori & Deb to suffer through Lisa's performance. On top of that, she kept referring over and over to "f*cked up relationships". I thought, speaking of "f*cked up", Lisa, have you checked out your hair lately? Good news: one of the local poppy stations here, MIX, has started to play "Like the Way I Do"... and this is a station that did not play it back when it was out! Deb, Gwen...did you guys hear it yet??? I visited the R&R Hall of Fame in Cleveland last weekend....thanks Beth for all your tips on the town! We thought it would take us 2 full days to get through every little thing but we got through in less than 1.5 days. Tip: If you want to visit, this time of year seems to be the time to go...there were no crowds and we were able to move through the museum easily. What a place! Six floors of stuff ranging from the Pioneers of rock music (the Ink Spots, Dinah Washington, etc) through the Psychadelic Era, the Blank Generation, the Early Days of Rap (check out the Fat Boys stage costumes)...copies of recording contracts, artists' Motown I.D. cards, "One Hit Wonders"; several movies, original handwritten lyrics, multimedia and interactive stations, all kinds of costumes, a whole section on the the Rolling Stones live, Janis Joplin's car, etc. There are a couple of glimpses of Melissa at the museum. In the Induction section, they show her on a monitor playing the night Janis Joplin was inducted; at the very top of the museum is a dark room where they have a wall of inductees with their signatures; Melissa is quoted where Janis appears; and we catch a quick glimpse of Melissa in one of the movies that are shown; the narrator is talking about how music transcends race, sex, etc, and they show Melissa kissing kd, although if you blink you miss it. In fact, my s.o. spotted it first; I had to sit through the entire movie a second time to catch it. Anyway, it's lots of fun and I'd recommend going! The place we stayed (Holiday Inn Downtown) is the closest hotel and has a deal for a weekend at the hotel that includes weekend passes to the museum! Other stuff...I bought a copy of Goldmine at Tower last night and saw a company advertising Joyce's book...at a mere $40.00!!!!!!!! Someone had inquired about Altamont...as a big Stones fan I know a little about it (but I wasn't there) Regarding urban legends of the famous "Altamont" concert... >By the way, what was the Rolling Stone tragedy in 69 (or 70)?? Rhondda said correctly: <> ...in December 1969, for a mere 500,000 fans. The performers were the Stones, the Dead, Santana, the Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. The Grateful Dead's manager suggested the Stones hire the Hell's Angels for security, which they did--with the agreement that the Angels would be paid in beer. The Hell's Angels set about beating fans with pool cues and knocking out the Airplane's Marty Balin. <<>> I'm not sure where "Sympathy" was in the melee, but Meredith Hunter, who supposedly was pulling out a gun, was beaten and stabbed to death during "Under My Thumb". Overall there were 3 deaths, 20 serious accidents and hundreds of minor injuries and drug overdoses. <> "Sympathy" stayed on the playlist through the Stones' 1970 tour of Europe. After that it seems to have generally disappeared, showing up on their long-awaited 1989/90 "Steel Wheels" (chairs) tour. I don't know if this is "urban myth" but the Stones certainly had enough songs (and enough "controversial" songs--i.e. "Midnight Rambler", "Street Fighting Man", "Brown Sugar") to displace "Sympathy for the Devil" for their tours in the 70s. Gee, trying to get out of the parking lot at an MLE show doesn't seem to be such a big deal now... :) Jill PS Anyone going to see "Chasing Amy"? ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Apr 1997 13:43:25 -0400 (EDT) From: Tymwts4no1@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Bryan Adams/MLE To answer this, the Bryan Adams CD single "Star" that has the Bryan/Melissa duet "It's Only Love" is a two-part CD single (huh?!) from, I think, England.

Review of Chasing Amy from the Washington Post CHASING AMY (R, 105 minutes) -- Whatever Miramax was hoping for when it decided to bankroll films by Kevin Smith, it surely wasn't "Chasing Amy," the awful third installment of his "two guys hanging out" trilogy, begun with the over-praised "Clerks," and followed by the ludicrously bad "Mallrats." The words "written and directed by Kevin Smith" are now an instruction to run very fast out of the theater. Do not pay money to see this movie. Do not rent it when it comes out on video. Holden (Ben Affleck) and Banky (Jason Lee) are collaborators on "Bluntman & Chronic," a stoner indie comic book. Their lives are turned upside down by Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), herself a comic book creator. She's kinda cute in that Jewel/Olivia D'Abo kind of way, and talks like she's been sucking helium. Holden falls for her, but finds out she plays on the other team. She's a lesbian.

For the last few days I've been reading posts and stuff about everyone's first car. Mine was a 1988 Ford Festiva handing down to me by my two sisters. When it got down to me, there was a puke stain in the back seat from one of my sisters' misadventures. The liscense plate was 202-CRP ( you can guess what I named it.) Unfortunately it was lost when I pulled out in front of a very fast very big truck. I will always remember that car...:~( Just thought I'd share! - -Kate p.s.

And I have noticed that we all have one thing in common..MELISSA ETHERIDGE! We all admire and love her, we all have our own differant reasons, but the end result is the same. I am just thinking of all the hatred in the world and how we should all just love each other..we do not have to agree with each others choices or lifestyles, but we should admire the human being. I think Melissa stands for that. I also believe Melissa is an inspiration for women all around the world, no matter what your sexual preferance. She is a woman, and she shows that as a woman, you can do whatever you want. We all have to bond togather and be happy, be friends..and love each other as human beings. OK, I'll quit, the soapbox is getting tired! Sorry, I just felt it had to be said! Love you all!

Hi Melister's! I decided to let the list lead my fate this weekend. I decided to go out and rent Heanvenly Creatures and get Joyce's book. Heavenly Creatures was no problem to find - went to Blockbuster's. I was a little surprised to find it in the Mystery/Suspense section. I really had no idea what I was in for. Very intense. Shortly after leaving Blockbuster's, I headed for a nearby Lesbian bookstore. However, I did not know exactly where it was. My friend had told me that it was near where she worked and that we ought to check it out sometime. So, I thought, no problem. I will go to her workplace and start looking. The first place I tried was right next to her workplace. It was an unmarked door that said, "OPEN". I thought, that must be it. Parked and went in. Not it. It was a coffee shop or something - didn't stay long, I was on a mission. But, I was a little perplexed. What to do now? There aren't too many shops around this area, but I thought I would drive a little further and see. So, I am driving down the road and trying to read signs on both sides. All of the sudden, the word "women" caught my eye and I saw books in the window. I did a U-turn, saw a rainbow flag, and Melissa Etheridge came on the radio! I KID you NOT. I thought, this is destiny. They are definately going to have the book and I will be set. Yeah. However, this was not to be. I went in and started searching around. I immediately found Nickson's book. But, no Joyce. So, I asked someone. She said that they had sold out of Joyce's book (Yeah for Joyce! Sad for me) and that they expected to receive some more this week. Would I like her to call me? Yes, Please! But, I was not through. I continued in my search. The women directed me to another nearby bookstore (apparently owned and operated by three women because they had a picture of the three of them with their first dollars framed over the cash register) but alas, no book. Not to be daunted, I continued on my journey. I went to Borders. They had the book and I purchased it. Yeah. But, I did not take the time to review it right then. Instead, I continued on my other errands for the day. Our house was robbed in February and all of our jewelry was stolen. Slowly but surely, I have been roaming the jewelry stores trying to determine value. So, I headed to the mall to continue this search. Of course, no one has the things that I am trying to value and replace. So, I was very disgusted and went back to the car. I thought, I hate this. I was invaded and robbed and I have to spend all this time trying to figure out how much it was. Ugh. So, I picked up Joyce's book and flipped through the pictures. Oh joy. Happy me. Nice pictures! Melissa has cats! I love her even more! She lives in such a happy, open home. So, I was immediately uplifted. Homeward bound! When I got home, I shared my joy with our puppies (Hamlet, Macbeth, and Ceaser) and then I plugged in the movie. Wow. Very thought provoking. I would recommend that others get it. Now, I have to finish some work so that I can start the book! What a motivator! Happy week, sleigh ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Apr 1997 20:22:13 -0400 (EDT) From: LIDO777@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Etheridge on vinyl I found the Brave and Crazy album for $4.95 and the Melissa Etheridge album for $3.95 at a used record store today.

It has received mentions in the Pink Paper (a weekly gay newspaper) and in Diva (a bi-monthly lesbian magazine). Neither really reviewed the book in depth, but they did give it a positive write-up and Diva even showed a picture of the book and a couple of photos which feature in it. And if those photos are anything to go by...! Unfortunately I haven't got round to organising a copy yet - what good are girlfriends who are supposed to go over to the States and get you a copy, and then cancel their trip ?! Anyway, so far, it's been a slow year concert-wise in London, but coming up for Kate and I are Shawn Colvin (which we're going to with fellow-lister Juliet L - hi!) and Ani Difranco. Yay! But please, spare a thought for those of us over here who won't see *the* Ellen episode until God-knows-when. :( If anyone out there fancies taping it for me (I have a VCR which plays US tapes)...

Although Terri Clark has the perfect dark-haired, tall and lean beauty that fits the country image, she really is country. So to compare her music to Melissa's and recommending her based solely on the fact that she did a duet with her does Ms. Clark no justice. If you like rock and roll and DON'T like country, you will be disappointed with Terri Clark. Personally, I like TC, but I like a limited amount of country. Beth Hart Group, OTOH, is terrific. In particular, the first track, "Run", is one of those that just grabs you from the initial listening and you just know it's gotta be a single. This is very rock-n-roll. Also, has anyone noticed the cover to the Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits CD? Does it not bear a more than uncanny resemblence to MLE's NE cover? Could it be a slight tribute? Hmmm....

But it's childish to flaunt one's connections like that (was it *really* necessary to share the source of the fact that MLE is taller in her boots -- not likely). And it's especially silly given that many on the list have reliable sources of information on MLE, including MLE herself, but never bother to say so when posting that info on the list. - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ____________________________________________________________________________ (ClarkNet address & Web site still active for the foreseeable future.) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 1997 15:01:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Zinkie@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Arizona Bound Afternoon all, I'm Zinkie, and I'm a lurker...

Especially when we all know the truth and that is to most of us she is taller than the average bear and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Okay so the truth is out, she is 10 ft. tall, wears 501 levi jeans, cowboy boots, and drives a new tacoma toyota truck that is red!!! :) She slips through our fingers like mercury and escapes through a hole in the wall. ( quoting Chris Williamson here!) And who knows, maybe Kiva has seen her maybe she hasn't. Maybe she saw her on stage and that is how she knows. I bet if we ask Kiva she would tell us the truth of the matter and explain herself before we burn her at the stake! I saw the tooth fairy once! She glided across my room and as she did magic dust fell to the floor. She had wings and a long flowing gown and my god was she ever beautiful. I will never forget that vision as long as I live. And I bet Kiva will never forget meeting Melissa either I don't think she was bragging merely sharing something that has been held in for way too long. In my dreams I see many things and no one knows the beauty of them nor the horror except those that I allow myself to share my dreams with.

Those of us who've been on the list for a while, however, probably remember Kiva's story about being at Unplugged, and the situation that occured that night. If I'm not confusing my storytellers - that was you, right Kiva? Given, if I am remembering my story correctly, the chilly response that the recitation of the tale received on-list, why would it be told again?

Today is it! It is the one year anniversary of when I posted a message to this list that changed my life. It was a simple request for a copy of an article. I received a couple of responses to send me the copy. A week later (4/22/96), I received a response that started a friendship. We started off by just e-mailing a couple times a week. It soon became a couple times a day. Phone calls were next. It got to the point where we couldn't get through the day without hearing the other's voice. A meeting was planned. I flew up from Florida to meet her in Minnesota. That went so well, another meeting was planned just a short six weeks later. It was a special trip as it would be my *first* Melissa concert! What a night. By then we realized we couldn't live apart. It was decided that I would move with my kids. The end of January we were packed and ready to go. Damn it was fun driving that truck! :) We've had some adjustments, but have gotten through and continue to grow and love each other. We are a family. Because of this list, I have found my soul mate. I believe we would have eventually met, the list just speeded things up for us. Thanks for listening.

Is there a song you plug in when you're >lost? Well, obviously, "Silent Legacy" has a load of meaning for me, and probably most of us on this list. But on a more personal note, "Yes I Am" is the song that has great meaning for me, and for my partner. I turned Lauren on to Melissa - she came to Tacoma about two months after we started dating, and tix went on sale *just* after we started going out. I was visiting her at the time (we lived 50 miles apart - we now live together), and made a big deal about finding a ticket outlet. Lauren also bought a ticket, and it was only later that I discovered that she had practically no idea who MLE was, other than the basics. Well, while she's not the devoted fan that I am, she is a convert. This past Valentine's Day, since we were both broke (how serious is this relationship? - we have a joint checking account ), I had the bright idea of making a dub tape containing all the love songs in my CD/tape collection. I named this homemade dub _Yes I Am_, and on the label quoted a few lines from the song. We're now trying to decide if it's slow enough to qualify as a slow dance, for the traditional first dance at the reception following the committment ceremony we're planning for next March. >(Whew, I had to stop for just a second while the Mariners took care of >Kansas City)! : ) I was there! Great game, though Randy was rather a bit off his form. Baseball - yet another thing Lauren isn't too sure about, but was willing to give a try because I was going . . .

Oh my... just remember, you asked... :) Last year I fell in love with a woman named Sarah... this was my first lesbian relationship and may end up being my only one... I'm the one woman on the planet who doesn't have a sexual orientation... ;) She was the one who really got me interested in Melissa, and as we were driving out to the Castle -- an old abandoned something near our high school -- it was Melissa all the way. We sang "Unusual Kiss" when we got there, and I said something that will stay with us forever: "It could be midnight all around us and I'd never even notice." The first and last time we made love -- it was our way of saying goodbye to each other -- she played "All The Way To Heaven," and I sang it to her... at the end I added lines... "all the way to heaven... is you... is you here in my arms tonight..." Still breaks my heart. Lost the love of my life a month ago Thursday, and have been picking up the pieces ever since with a lot of help from Melissa. We're trying to make a friendship out of it, which is not easy when I don't know whether I want to make love to him or hit him with a truck. Everyone wish me strength. :} As for those associations, they started out with "Keep It Precious," moved on to "The Letting Go," and right now alternate between "It's For You" and "Occassionally." It sounds like all my associations with Melissa's music are sad ones, and that's really a shame... for every sad memory associated with her I have dozens of good ones, it's just that the sad ones stick and the good ones just go into the passion I feel when I play the music or sing along. :) thanks for listening, Anjela - -- "Please control yourselves!

"Yes I Am" is special to Tori and I. We heard it for the first time together, on the day we first met IRL... Tori had gotten a bootleg of the RhythmFest show, and we listened to it together that day! And, like Shel, we also exchanged tapes of love songs ("Get Here" by Oleta Adams was the most appropriate, given that she was in Co. and I was in Va.!). Geez, MaryLou, now you've gone and made us all sappy... :) Regarding Kiva's meeting MLE... I was responding to Kiva's statement that "I became friends with Melissa recently," which is quite different from meeting her backstage at "Unplugged." It just seemed like an odd thing, to throw that out and then refuse to elaborate. But it's really not a big deal, and I wrote to tell her as much. I'm surprised at the number of people who escalated the issue beyond the 2 messages which questions Kiva's judgement, but she has accepted those opinions graciously, so I hope we can move on. - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ____________________________________________________________________________ (ClarkNet address & Web site still active for the foreseeable future.) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 1997 16:24:58 -0700 From: TimDunker@t-online.de (Udo Dunker) Subject: *etheridge* Re: Clearing Things Up...

Hello everyone... I just read the digest from yesterday... Before I came to my post about "Clearing things up" I have to say I felt a little bad. I felt bad that I worded my first post about knowing Melissa the way I did. And I also feel bad about how a few of you reacted. I am only human and I was really hurt by your words... A lot of you e-mailed me and told me that it was not a very big deal. But I guess to a few of you, it is. If I learned anything from Melissa, through her music and her words, it is that we are all equal and we should all respect and love each other as we would want to be respected and loved ourselves... I know I am kinda standing on a soap box here, but I really need to get this off my chest... The ones who recalled my story of meeting Melissa at MTV Unplugged are correct. I did meet her that night. It's a long story and I would be happy to share it with you, just let me know... I have no anger at anyone... I am not upset and I am not hurt anymore... I apologize if I upset or offended anyone... It really was not my intention at all... And as for favorite song/Melissa moment... Well meeting her tops my list... But favorite song. I don't hesitate to say "Aint It Heavy"... That song saved my life, literally... If it wasn't in the CD player that night last July, I wouldn't be here right now... Thanks for listening... Again...

For me, there is no one special moment. My whole life began when I left for college (1988) and that is when I first heard Melissa. So, whenever I hear melissa, I think about Anne and Tara - my two college friends that introduced me to her. I wonder how they are now? Anne got married immediately after college and moved away. Tara partied too hard and dropped out of college. Then, I think about Connie and Adrian, my first lesbian friends. They taught me so much about myself. And, of course, I will never forget Kate, my first female lover. So, my whole life (since it really began) is wrapped up in Melissa's music. sleigh ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 1997 11:05:50 -0600 From: marcy Subject: *etheridge* Kiva Kiva is one of the sweetest women I know!

But more importantly, they all have links to that special someone who lifted me out of my misery after being dumped by my first female lover. The links are to good times mostly, but also some bad...not really bad though, for some of the heart break songs helped me get through tough times. One song in particular really touches me most..."It's For You" Shortly before my departure for my study abroad semester in Santiago, Chile, my gf (sorta....it's a long story...but I loved her and that is what is important) and I had several accidents in the cd store...i mean, we completed our Melissa collection in one trip... anyhow, we had one of the new cds in on the way to the airport August 5, 1996. I was pretty much okay, dealing with the fact that I was to be away from my best friend for so long, six months at least if I didn't decide to continue on to South africa (my original plan), until "It's for you" came on. It just rung so true, we were separating just cuz of life, not because we wanted to be with anyone else...the part about being there together that night, and then 1000 miles away the next (well more like 4000 for Chile:) anyhow, as I began to absolutely lose it, we decided that we would give each other pieces of each other's heart, with the hope that someday they could be reunited...eventually I got on that plane (I was the last one) Well, there were ups and downs while I was away. break ups and periods of silence, but it's great now....I love H more than anything in my life, and I want both her and all of you guys (including MLE) who know what it is like to be so in love, to know how I feel.

Well here is my story. It's a long story and I tried to make it short, but how can you do that when it's about Melissa... Sorry for taking up so much space... =7 I met Melissa when she did the taping of MTV Unplugged... I heard on the radio, (Z100 in NY), that they were giving away tickets to see your choice of performers tape Unplugged at a secret location... They told us the performers: Live, Sheryl Crow, Hole, the Cranberries, and of course Melissa Etheridge... I vowed right then and there that I was going to see Melissa... I listened to the radio all day that day, Thursday, and all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... =7 I didn't move from the radio... I went to work in our family's store on Monday, a Native American, New Age Gallery and played Z100 all day. Not really the type of music you usually hear in a store like that, but I think this exception was allowed =)... On Tuesday morning I was lying in bed reading a magazine and looking at a small picture of Melissa... I heard the DJ say, "Caller 100 will go to see their choice of an Unplugged taping. Call now!"... So, I called... I got a busy signal over and over, you guys must know what that's like... Then as the song on the radio ended and "Like The Way I Do" began, the DJ answered the phone and told me I was caller 100... I freaked. I screamed. I basically lost it. I am surprised that he actually gave me the tickets. I think he just now must be getting his hearing back! =) I was in shock... The taping was a few weeks away and I was in a daze all those two weeks... It was quite funny when I think about it... =) When the day arrived I was trying to stay calm. See, I have tourette syndrome. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a disorder that causes people to make involuntary vocal noises, body movements, facial expressions, etc. They are called "tic's" and over 1 million people have tourette syndrome... Anyway, when I get nervous, excited, angry or stressed it gets a bad... So you can imagine how much I was "ticking" that night! =) I informed the radio people that I had TS and that they should let the camera people know so that no one would think I was trying to make a scene or anything. Then I handed this nice woman a card for Melissa. My sister and I went on-line and waited... About 10 minutes later someone wearing an MTV laminate and the radio station woman came over to us and asked us to come inside. I was a little nervous. I had problems in the past before regarding the tourette and I was praying that nothing bad was going to happen... I was already thinking lawsuit! LOL... The gentleman with the pass asked me to explain what tourette was and what exactly might happen. I told him that the last thing I wanted was to do anything to interfere with Melissa's performance. He asked me if I watched a song during rehearsal and then watched the show from the production room would that be okay. I agreed that would be fine. This very nice woman took us into the theater and told us not to freak if we saw Bruce Springsteen... He was going to sing a song with Melissa... We walked about half way down the aisle and sat down. I saw here on stage, so close, yet so far away... She was singing, "If I Wanted To". I was so excited and full of love... I was nervous, too... I made a few noises and Melissa jumped... I felt really bad. Even worse when someone asked us to move up to the balcony because I was making her nervous... I started to cry... We watched the rest of the song from the balcony, my sister had her arm around me and all these MTV people kept coming over to us and bringing T-shirts, backpacks, and hats... It was nice but it didn't help. We were escorted out after she finished and we waited while they let all the people in and lined them up. I was feeling really down. I didn't know if the tourette was a curse or a blessing that night. All I wanted was to see Melissa sing. To see her smile... I love her so much and she helped me through so much... I guess you all can understand that... =) After they had all the people seated they led us to the production room. We walked over the stage and backstage and into this large room with a ton of people. Everyone was being super nice to us. They cleared a lot of people out and offered us a drink and made us feel really welcome. I was feeling so sad, but still thankful that I was there... When it was show time, I kept my eyes on the door and I got a quick glimpse of Melissa as she walked towards the stage. For the next hour my eyes were glued to the small monitor on the table and my ears were trained to the speaker on the wall. It was not how I would have liked to see the show but I was so captivated by her words and music that it didn't even matter to me... The staff was being great, and quiet because it was hard to hear... I cried and laughed and sang... It was wonderful... She was wonderful... =) After the show, someone from MTV came over to me and handed me the set list. It seemed that everyone knew who my sister and I were... Then as we thanked everyone and got up to leave, a woman came over and told us to wait for a few minutes and then she would bring us upstairs. I was like, "What?!"... It seems that my sister, God bless her, had done a little stemming, and had asked if it was at all possible for me to meet Melissa. They took us upstairs and we waited for about 10 minutes. People kept going in and out of the dressing room. My heart was pounding so loud and I was shaking. It seemed like a dream. Then the door opened and out walks Melissa. I walked over to her and introduced myself. She said hello and introduced herself to me. It was so sweet... =) She gave me a hug and apologized for the rehearsal. She said that no one told her that I was there and she was a ball of nerves with Bruce being there and very jumpy to begin with. And she apologized again. I told her not to worry, that it happens all the time and I was used to it. She asked me if I liked the show and I told her I loved it. I told her that what she said about Bruce was how I felt about her and one day my dream was to share the stage with her. That she was such an inspiration to me and I loved her. She smiled one of her warm Melissa smiles and gave me a big hug. My sister was standing behind me and she told me that Melissa had such a loving look on her face wen she was hugging me! =) I love her so much! My sister and Melissa! =) Melissa asked me if I would like an autograph and I said sure. She pulled a piece of paper that said "green room" on it off of the wall and signed it for me. Then she gave my sister a hug and said thank you to us for coming. She hugged me again and went back inside the room... We walked downstairs, me clinging to the railing because I thought I was gonna fall my legs were shaking so much... The woman who we were talking to before we went upstairs saw us as we walked out and asked us if we met her. I gave her a big hug and thanked her about a million times. She asked me to write down my address so she could send me some souvenirs from the show and as I was waiting for her to give me her number Melissa walked out of the backstage area and down the aisle. I turned towards her and she smiled at me and reached out and squeezed my arm. I reached my hand out to her and she took it, gave it a squeeze and held onto it as she walked past me and out of the theater... The woman from MTV smiled at me and I had tears in my eyes when I thanked her again. As my sister and I were leaving another woman from MTV stopped us and asked us if we got to meet Melissa. I said yes and she said, "Good. She was afraid you'd leave before she got the chance to see you.". I stopped dead in my tracks and walked over to her and said, "What?" She told me that Melissa had gotten my card and read it before the show. She knew I was not in the audience and watching from the production room and she wanted to meet me. It took me a few seconds to get what she said... Melissa wanted to meet me! Wow... I hugged that woman, too. It seems that all the people at MTV and Z100 knew who we were and I had no idea who any of them were. But they were all so nice... As my sister and I walked out into the rainy night to find my Dad I asked her, "Was I a nervous, babbling wreck when I met Melissa?" She told me not at all. She said if I had been acting I would have won an Oscar... =) She said that I handled myself really well, despite what I was feeling inside! =) It took me a long time to get over the shock of that night. I guess the tourette was a blessing that time around. You know, it's funny. Everyone has something in their life that they wish they could fix, or change or get rid of. I have other medical problems aside from the tourette. But if someone asked me if I could be free of one thing, what would I choose... I would not pick the tourette... It has made me who I am today and it is a part of my life. Yeah, it sucks sometimes, but I look at it as a challenge rather than a burden. I have a path to walk in life. It's really bumpy sometimes, and other times it's pretty smooth. But I am thankful for one thing... Whatever the circumstances are, or the condition of my path in life, I always have Melissa playing her music to accompany me on my journey... And that is my story... The first one anyway...

Just delurking to broadcast a bit of news from Down Under about *the* book. >From Monday this week, the distinctive red cover of "Our Little Secret" was the feature display in the window of Melbourne's biggest G&L bookstore, Hares and Hyenas! There were also about another ten copies on display inside the store on the latest release shelf - with a very sad and lonely-looking solitary copy of the Chris Nickson book sitting alongside - totally overshadowed and outclassed. I was assure by salesmanager Annie that the bookstore's theme for the week was "Melissa, Melissa and more Melissa!" and that she expected good sales. She also confided in Margo and I that the "red" book was the better of the two!!! We just played dumb and said we'd heard something to that effect ?!?! So well done, Joyce! - the distribution of the book has obviously encompassed the four corners of the globe and it is obviously being given the recongition it deserves as the superior biography, particularly pictorially. And I have to say that I especially liked the pictures of Melissa wearing the wig and costume for the school production of Oaklahoma and found myself *speechless* when I saw the "glamorous" publicity shot with the bare shoulders framed by the (fake, I hope) white fur. Another couple of shots also revealed that during the 80s, Melissa quite favoured the "off the shoulder" look, both on and off stage. Can anyone tell me if that was a particular North American fashion statement of the era or a personal one unique to Melissa? Then, in a recent digest, there was this reference to vinyl: > I found the Brave and Crazy album for $4.95 and the Melissa Etheridge album > for $3.95 at a used record store today. If anybody is interested you can > mail me the money and I can send them to you. > > kel I too have some Melissa on vinyl, including an autographed Brave and Crazy sleeve that I had Melissa sign the second time I met her outside the Palais Theatre after her gig here in Melbourne back in '89 or '90. For years it just sat - but with some pride of place - with the rest of my record collection (here I am *really* dating myself). But just recently, I've been thinking of ways to better display this prized possession. I have thought about literally having it framed. Anyone got any other suggestions? Anyway, shields up and back to work, as the last of the autumn sunshine blazes away temptingly outside .........

I really enjoy reading the messages and learning new things. I would like to say first, that I just recently started listening to Melissa (like within the last 6 or 7 months; although I have owned the CD "YIA" for well over a year). I have to tell you all to that when I first heard the song "Ain't It Heavy" I was hooked, but not two minutes after that I found out ( back in '93,through the interview on Rockline) that she had come out recently I tuned it out and refused to listen to her. Boy was I stupid!! I've been telling everyone about Melissa and encouraging them to listen to her. All of her music has some significance in my life. Her music has helped me through some really stressful times over these last few months and has opened my eyes and mind. She is one of the best songwriters and singers I have ever heard. I now have all of her CDs, am anxiously awaiting to see her on Ellen (I live in England right now, so there is no telling when I will get to see the episode), hoping that I will eventually get to see her MTV Unplugged performance (I saw bits and pieces a long time ago.) and driving my friends and husband crazy listening and talking about nothing but Melissa. Oh yeah, I read "Our Little Secret" by Joyce Luck and was very pleased. It was informative and the pictures were awesome.

My name is Suzanne and I am a singer/songwriter and run a recording studio. I am a big Melissa fan and have been since the first album. I used to sing her songs when I was in cover bands. She has a phenominal voice, and as all you guitar players already know, incredible rhythyms on the guitar. I used to get a kick out of my guitar players choking on the Melissa songs.......here's these "I'm so cool" hard guitar players, hot guitarists, and they would have trouble pulling of her acoustic! ;-) I only wish I was half as good as she is! I do have a new album coming out in June that I am excited about. It has some similarities. I am also into Indigo Girls, Jewel, Natalie Merchant, etc. Thanks for listening. Have a wonderful day!

When I returned home to visit, I was locked in a pickup truck and forced to listen to "Like the Way I Do" several times. My life has never been the same.

It's been a long time since we've seen you here. What a great treasure you have in that signed album jacket! As the twenty-plus ME-listers who have visited my apartment know, I have a few album covers on my wall, including two Melissa covers, Chrissie Hynde, and Nina Hagen. For years I've just used 'push pins' *next* to the edge of the cover to keep it attached to the wall (I don't pierce the cover), but recently I saw an advertisement in Goldmine (can you find Goldmine magazine there?) for "album cover frames" which are made for this purpose. I have not yet ordered them, but they sound perfect for this task... no glass needed. ---- Susan Christopher wrote: >Taping a concert is illegal (fact, nothing to do with how I feel about >bootlegs) be it for personal use, a tree, or a CD. You are no less a >criminal than the CD bootlegger if you're taping a concert. Probably true most of the time, though I'm not familiar with the actual wording of anti-bootleg laws, so the 'illegality' of the act may depend on several factors... for example, I've never met a 'taper' who was *arrested* for taping a show, though I know 'distributors' who have been. My only personal experience being 'caught with contraband' was a recent event where I was offered the option of returning my recorder to my car for safe-keeping, or being politely escorted to the 'hat check' room where I could check my recorder (along with dozens of others) and get a receipt for my gear... I chose the latter. There are many artists who allow (or encourage) boots, and will provide special areas for tapers to mount their microphone stands for 'ambient' recording... some artists even allow connections to their soundboard. There is a web-accessible list of 'bands that allow taping' at: http://shire.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mike/bands.that.allow.html Note that some artists have specific restrictions (no DAT, no soundboard, no taping during certain tours, etc), and some artists will require you to obtain special 'tapers tickets' before the show. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- John Miller, San Jose CA ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 14:37:43 -0400 (EDT) From: BravnCrazy@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* My Other Melissa Story... Wow... It looks my Melissa story was really popular. Thank you all for the warm and sweet responses. They made me smile... {{{HUGS}}} to you all... :-) Well with all the requests for my other Melissa story, I am going to tell you all! :) I didn't "meet" Melissa this second time... But we had a special moment and well, here is the story... Last July, I was going through a really bad time emotionally. I was at a point where I just couldn't take it anymore... Life was too much for me. I was on the phone with my mom and she was trying to convince me to calm down and not do anything severe. It wasn't working. I was on a lot of medication for depression and the Tourette and I was ready to swallow it all and wash it down with the rest of the wine that was in the house. I was in a bad state... I was home alone and it was very quiet, aside from my moms voice on the phone. I needed something to distract me from the silence, so I hit play on my CD player. I had no idea what was in the CD changer... I just needed some white noise... I was crying and hysterical... Then I heard it... I hear those opening notes to "Aint It Heavy"... I stood there in the middle of my room with the phone in my hand and I started to cry even harder... All of a sudden everything made sense to me... I told my mom I was okay... I promised her I was and told her why... I hung up the phone and sat down in the middle of the room and listened to that song for an hour. Over and over. I listened to the music, the lyrics, Melissa's voice... I took it all in... I realized that if I did anything crazy that night, then I wouldn't be able to see Melissa in August at the Fleet Center in Boston... For the next month all I lisame close to the day of the show, a local radio station was giving away a pair of front row seats... I was determined to get them . This was a fax, e-mail, snail mail contest. No phones... I e-mailed them my story and begged them to please consider giving me the tickets... The day of the show I was sure I didn't get the tickets. But I was so amazed that I was going I didn't care... I called the radio station to find out if they had given them away. This was at 10 in the morning. They said if I didn't hear from someone by 12 then I didn't win... I was so spaced out, I didn't realize that I had NOT heard from anyone and I figured they gave them away... HA... Wrong!!! The phone rang about 11 and I answered. The woman on the other end identified herself as someone from WBOS 92.9 FM in Boston. I started shaking.. She asked me if I was still interested in the front row tickets. I started to cry and said yes... She said if I could come and pick them up they were mine... I could not stop shaking and crying and thanking her... I was in shock. Total shock... I was shaking so hard I had to take a cab to the radio station because I couldn't drive!! I picked up the tickets and just stood there looking at them... That poor cab driver hated me by the time he took me home... LOL... I tried to calm down, but no luck. By the time I got to the Fleet Center, I was a total ball of crazy energy... I had given my MEIN tickets to my friends boyfriend and she and I sat together... When I walked down the isle to the front row and saw the stage and how close I was, the tears started coming again... I had made a sign in hopes Melissa would read it. It was the size of a manila folder. Not very big... But readable... When the lights went down and the show started... Oh man.. I started to smile sooooo wide... I couldn't believe it... Melissa strutted out on stage and looked right at me!! I lost it... I grabbed my friends hand and started crying... I held my sign up in hopes she would read it... The sign had 2 sides. I held up the side that said, "Melissa!! Can I Have A Guitar Pick?? I Have Been Waiting 3 Years??" She looked at it, and squinted her eyes to read it. You could see her lips moving as she read it... Then she looked at me, smiled and nodded... I was on cloud 9!!! The whole show was unreal... I laughed, I cried, I smiled... I sang at the top of my lungs... I was in heaven... After Melissa came back from the center stage, the crowd was pushing up against the stage and I tried to keep my place, but I got to claustrophobic and I pulled out of there. I stood about 2 people away from the stage in my own little space... I was getting sad because the show was coming to an end. At one point during her second to last song, Melissa went over to the right side of the stage, my right her left... She was playing the guitar and looking out over the crowd. I took a deep breath and held up my sign. The other side. It read... "Melissa. it's Kiva. Your music saved my life!!! Thank you!! I love you!!"... She looked at me quickly, then looked back again. She read the sign while she played and again, her lips moved ever so slightly... When she finished reading it, she looked at me and gave me this smile. A smile only Melissa can give. Then she mouthed, "Aaawww. and smiled again... At that minute, I felt like I had won... People around me saw that she had looked at me and were touching my shoulder when they saw me crying... The next song that Melissa played was "The War Is Over"... I felt like each word she sang was directed at me... With all the thousands of people there, I felt like it was just me and Melissa... When she sang that song, I felt like I had won my war... Not just the war to stay alive, but the war I started fighting when I was born. I survived cancer as a young baby. I have diabetes and with the Tourette... I felt like I had won every war. For me and my family... I finally won... After Melissa sang that song, she came over to the edge of the stage and looked right at me... She raised her hands as if to part the crowd of people in front of me and she tossed me a guitar pick... Someone dove in front of me and caught it... Melissa saw that and had a disappointed look on her face. She mouthed, "I'm sorry" to me and I mouthed back that it was okay... She smil ed at me and then continued bowing... So many people around me were yelling at whoever caught my pick.. But I had caught something so much more special than a guitar pick... Words can not say what happened to me that night, even though I have babbled on forever here... I got a guitar pick from someone at the fan club a while later... And I have all my memories... I still get depressed now and then, but I have not been suicidal since that night... When ever I feel sad or angry at life, I put on "Aint It Heavy" and just let it out... It really helps... I originally wrote this story a few weeks after the concert... It was written a little differently. But my computer ate the story... So I am rewriting it. Kind of from a different point of view I guess... Melissa means so much to me. Her music is my best friend... And Melissa herself has helped me learn so much about myself that I didn't know, or was too afraid to see... She can make me smile through my tears and help me cry when my smile is fake... I thank Melissa for all she has done for me... She is, in a way, my angel... I only wish her and Julie and Bailey a happy, healthy and wonderful life... I hope... No, I know that someday soon I will meet Melissa again. Right now, though, I am content to know that she is there for me... Even when she isn't... Thanks for listening... Sorry to talk so much... Bad habit when it comes to this particular subject. :) Love and Peace, Kiva BravNcrazy@aol.com ******************************************************************** Know all the possibilities of your impossible dream...

Hi all. Carrie from New Mexico here. I can stand up and say that the mighty Zorro (alex) has donned her mighty swords to come out to play for awhile. Apparently, the Talented one has taken up a new profession that she seems to enjoy very much. Have your interest? Well....read on.... It seems that Zorro was feeling up...i mean feeling a bit rambunctious this morning, in anticipation of a visit to her fair city of Albuqueerque by yours truly. While turning on my computer...lo and behold, my phone rings....and of course, I say...."this is carrie"....and the sultry, not-so-low/not-so-high sexy voice on the other end (obviously she's been working the *phone* voice) asks if it really is yours truly. Well...after we get it strai...correct that it is indeed me, the phone-sex voice on the other end proceeds to tell me that she listens to me every day in the mornings (i'm a local host for NPR's Morning Edition) while in bed and relates the experience to "the Divinyls" one and only top 40 hit, if you get my drift. at this moment, i'm thinking....she must be blind by now.... but....needless to say......i was speechless. and Zorro was squirming in her seat......*snicker*...just trying to keep from laughing. Now....mind you...i've *never* spoken to the masked one before in my life....and...i've had some *really* strange calls...but, none like *this* one..... well...after asking me if we could meet...and she could fulfill her fantasy...and I turning her down cause i'm devoted to my girlfriend, Victoria.....She said..."you mean....you are *not* going to meet me for drinks?"...to which I said.."no...i'm flattered..but that's not really my thing...".....Zorro said.."So, I'm going to have to lie in bed, all alone, well...except with my *personal* friend...and just 'listen' to you every morning?"...to which I said...."uhhhhhhh yes." Well...i think that Zorro realized that the conversation was getting a little too.......shall we say...deep?...and figured that I was going to end the conversation mighty quick...and she fessed up. AFter many expletives...of course, all said with the utmost affection....Zorro and I caught up on some things, including Juds (Hi Liz and Jud!!!)...incredibly sexy but difficult-to-understand-at-times accent...and the upcoming Fajita Fest (Zorro is destined to break her record of mooning trains this time....), super-soakers and naked babes, sex and whether or not she's gotten some (i'm not telling!!!), and eventually getting to where we are we going to go dancing in Albuqueerque. So...after very little coaxing (a jack and coke)...we are going to finally meet up and paint the town (with my girlfriend making sure we don't land in jail for being too lewd). But, in true Zorro style....i was "christened" in true Zorro fashion. So....for those who are concerned and worried about the mighty (naughty) Zorro...she *is* alive and well...but I think she's planning a something..... all for now. Have a good day, all!!!! :D carrie ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 16:25:42 -0400 From: Gwen Shinko Subject: *etheridge* All Over Me I'm fairly certain that this new film hasn't been mentioned on the list yet. If it already has been discussed and I'm being redundant, please feel free to delete my post. :-) The movie sounds like it might be worth checking out.... *Copied without permission from the "All Over Me" website and brief on-line article in CNN Showbiz News: "All Over Me" follows a crucial period in the life of an adolescent girl as she starts to understand exactly who she is and how important it is to be that person without apology. The film presents a refreshingly different side of New York City, one where Patti Smith, not Frank Sinatra, is the patron singer/saint, where gay punks and grandmas share the streets of Hell's Kitchen, where girls rollerskate and rock out. The feature film debut of sisters Alex and Sylvia Sichel, All Over Me introduces them as filmmakers of striking intelligence and vigor. Claude (Alison Folland, who played an impressionable teenager in Gus Van Sant's To Die For) and Ellen (Tara Subkoff) are best friends, 15 year-old girls who live across the neighborhood park from each other in Hell's Kitchen. "All Over Me" centers on Claude, a young girl coming of age - - and sexuality -- in New York's Hell's Kitchen. "My character is coming out as a lesbian at the same time and it's about her search for love and acceptance of herself," says actress Alison Folland, who plays the lead. The character's search leads her away from her childhood best friend and toward a new female friend -- and love interest. And yes, there's kissing involved. All Over Me was produced by Dolly Hall (The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love,line producer of Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet), and directed by Alex Sichel from a script by Sylvia Sichel. The soundtrack includes music by Ani DeFranco and Michelle Malone. The film was produced by Fine Line Features and received rave reviews at this year's Sundance Film Festival It opens this Friday, April 25th in LA, New York, and San Fransico with additional cities to follow later. If anyone would like more details about the film, here's the "All Over Me" website address: http://www.flf.com/alloverme/ Gwen ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 18:24:38 -0400 (EDT) From: BravnCrazy@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* OOOPSS I made a boo boo in my story...

Capitalism is NOT a crime. Copyright violation is. what these commercial bootleg producers are doing. Wouldn't have a source for some of the trees, maybe. But if MLE embraces NON-COMMERCIAL, HOME-USE taping, that wouldn't be a problem, would it? Look at The Dave Matthews Band, as an example in how to do business. They ALLOW people to bring good recording gear, and tape the shows. That makes a very strong statement, that they respect the fans and the shows that they're doing enough to let the fans take it home, and trade the shows between them (of course, MLE might want to mix up the set lists a bit...) That's the carrot. The stick: I've heard that their representation is willing to settle cases where people are selling bootleg DMB CDs for 10KUSD and a signed statement. I L I K E I T ! ! ! Melissa -- Allow Taping!, PLEASE! Put the bootleggers out of business. Free and open taping and trading is the only way to destroy the market pressure that (as you can see from the activity on this topic) exists for them. She could start enforcing the Bootleg CD thing like Dave Matthews Band. Thier >> I'm looking for a present for a friend and >>> WAIT!!!

A warm fire burning in two hearts! Just the mention of one anothers name make ya feel all fuzzy inside. Look out "Tickle ME Elmo!" There's a replacement on the shelves! I beleive that hearts must be open and willing to love again. I know that Melissa's music is in CD changers all over the world on moonlit nights and as the curtains sway in a gentle breeze, soft whispers of "I Love You's" echo in the night and I wonder: Does she know what light she has brought to cold and empty bedrooms and what warmth fills lost souls and what fires burn in hearts aglow? What morning sunlight looks now that eyes are open to see simply because of music and the passion therein. Ahh! Enjoy my friends the new beginnings brought forth by the simple sound of a guitar and one voice singing in the night. And love will echo through the night as if it were the first time. And empty jars put on a shelf will once again be full! Blessed Be Those That Love!

It starts out with the song AUK. It got me thinking back to the lists discussions about the meaning of the song, and it got me thinking about a deeper meaning. I think that you have all covered the meaning of the song, but no one has gotten what "an unusual kiss" meant yet. Here is what I think that it means........... ......From the things I have heard, it seems like Melissa never really had a serious relationship until her and Julie. Of course Melissa had kissed others before Julie, but the kisses are not the same as with some one you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with. With there first kiss all of her other kiss were different, none could approach what it felt like with Julie. That is why it was "an unusual kiss" for Melissa. I am reminded of the quote "What good is a kiss if it's not with the one you truly love?" I don't remember who said it, but it is the true. Once you find the person you love there kiss can melt your world and make you long for more. That first kiss starts a fire that is nearly impossible to put out. I bet the sparkes were flying on Melissa and Julie's first kiss. Well, that is just my thoughts, once I find my "unusual kiss" I will write back and tell everyone! - ---Holly "Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need of hell." --Emily Dickenson "...it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees." --?? ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 10:26:11 -0400 From: Deb Subject: *etheridge* Review of Joyce's Bio Originally printed in the Philadelphia Gay Times: "Rock Fans Rejoice: Melissa Etheridge, Our Little Secret." Taken as a book written for fans, by a fan, Joyce Luck's Melissa Etheridge: Our Little Secret will be a fun read for those who love this outstanding woman rocker. The strength of Luck's book is that she did her research. Her use of a wide range of sources from Rolling Stone and the Lesbian News to Internet conversations and interviews with fans and others who have known Etheridge throughout her career compensate as much as possible for the fact that Luck did not have direct access to Etheridge. Luck also supplies a thorough review of Etheridge's songs, providing details on the background and motivation for many lyrics. These sections will be true finds for the most devout fans who can't get enough information about their singer/songwriter hero. Pulling on interviews in Musician magazine and other similar sources, Luck also gets into the more technical side of guitar playing--a topic often missed in rock biographies and a treat for readers with a musical background. Any writer who develops a biography without direct access to the subject is in for quite a challenge. Because so much of Luck's writing is based on previously-released material, the book does not read with the freshness it would had she interviewed Etheridge directly. Further, she writes with the fan's voice which on one hand allows her enthusiasm to ring true but on the other hand gives the story a less mature feel. Despite the fact that Luck is a self-proclaimed fan of her subject, she maintains objectivity in that she reveals aspects of Etheridge that are more troublesome or controversial. Readers seeking a more serious, in-depth and rigorous biography may be disappointed but those looking to commune with a fellow Etheridge fan who has done her homework will have a blast traveling through this quick read. Fans will also be thrilled with a fun collection of photos and detailed discography. - ----- I have to say that I disagree somewhat with the idea that "Joyce maintains objectivity in that she reveals aspects of Etheridge that are more troublesome or controversial." I mean, she does do that, but she also has some rather unnecessarily (IMO) harsh words for MLE's critics! Yeah, we find out that MLE was unfaithful to her lovers... but I don't recall much in the way of criticisms that are career-related. And people who did express such criticisms are put down. But I can always go to the Trouser Press Guide to 90's Rock for the other perspective! (Great reference, but absolutely *brutal* to MLE! See http://www.trouserpress.com for info on the book.) I'm really *am* hoping to finish OLS one of these days, but I haven't had a lot of time for off-line leisure-reading lately! - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ____________________________________________________________________________ Please modify clark.net references in address books, bookmarks, and links. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 14:47:48 -0400 (EDT) From: IdgieGrrl@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Trucks Hi listers!! It's been a long time since I posted, but yes I am still alive (at least I was the last time I checked). Well, I too am almost a new truck owner. Yesterday I went and took her for a test drive and put money down. I am awaiting a legal settlement and when it comes (in about 10 days) I'm going to go get her!!!!!! Just let me say the waiting is going to KILL ME!!! I'm very impatient and not sure how long I can take this. Here's her stats: 1996 Ford Ranger Splash, 4x4, extended cab, V6 engine, fully loaded with, just to name a few, tilt wheel, cruise, ac, 6 cd changer (WOW, 6 ME cd's at once!!!!), electric seat w/lumbar support thingie, back sliding window, bed liner. Now, for the best part: She's CANARY YELLOW!!!!!!!!! YAHOO!!! I'm not sure what to name her (like Pooh) and am thinking maybe IDGIE! Actually, I'm REALLY leaning towards that, but will welcome suggestions. Although I realize suggestions may be tough for y'all because I don't post enough for most of you to know a whole lot about me (I'll try to rectify that). I want to check out this Lillith fair!

Plus I think "I got a $2 stare/Midas in my touch/Delilah in my hair" is one of the coolest lines ever written. As for another title suggestion, how about "Temporary Insanity"?

I agree there are too many a-hole guys in the world who think all a lesbian needs is "a real man" to "convert" her. (And usually these guys are the farthest thing from a real man you can find. But I digress.) However, look at JC. Without getting into that "labeling" issue again, she was straight, (married, in a hetero relationship), then fell in love with MLE, obviously the right woman for her. I haven't seen "Chasing Amy," don't know if I will, so I can't comment on the specifics of the plot. But if JC (and many other women and men) can go from opposite-sex relationships to same-sex relationships without it being a "reformation" or "conversion," the reverse can happen too, right? Just my .02. And if we're still on the car thread (I know, I'm a little behind, but I guess I just feel like I have a bit to say today), my first car was a 1978 Delta 88 that I bought from my parents for $500 in 1986. Then a year later I saved enough $ to buy my very own brand-new car, a 1987 Dodge Colt DL stripper, which my friend named "Di's Liability" (DL, get it?). I still own it and drive it every day. It's got 136,000 miles and has been through 4 radios (stolen), 3 driver's-side windows (broken to steal the radios), a new grille, hood and driver's-side front fender (I slid on the ice and hit a bus full of senior citizens--honest), and a rebuilt tranny. It's very rusty, beat-up and sad-looking (just ask Lisa E.), but it still runs strong. I'm sure it'll last me another few years, and when it goes I will shed more than a few tears. (Hey, did that rhyme?) I have very fond memories of it--10 years' worth. Except that one of the radios had a MLE bootleg in it when it was stolen, something I've never let my husband forget b/c the car was in his possession when it happened! OK, I've rambled enough. Back to work. (sound of whip cracking) Diane B. (who recently got AAA, *just in case* Di's Liability doesn't make it to 11) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 17:16:50 -0400 (EDT) From: Imagine338@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Melissa on vinyl With all the recent talk of ME albums on vinyl I thought I would again enlist everyones help in locating her latest album "YLS" on vinyl.

In reference to the recent thread being played out by Mike Lieman (the trading advocate) and ??? (the bootleg advocate), I have a few thoughts (all MHO, it should go without saying). I have collected (and still collect) cd bootlegs, and I have also engaged in tape trading. Most tape traders are relatively normal people, but occasionally one comes into contact with someone like Mr. Lieman--that is, someone who tends to be annoyingly sanctimonious about their particular choice of hobby. I regard such people in the same fashion I regard all fundamentalists, whatever their stripe, which is to say that I avoid prolonged conversation. Tape trader proselytizing tends to focus on the lack of harm done to artist or record company, the absence of cash transactions among tape traders, and in some cases the feeling of fan community engendered by trading. For the most part I agree, these are (approximately) true, and these are wonderful things, but this does not mean that trading is for everyone. A not inconsiderable amount of time and effort is involved in the process of recording and mailing tapes. Starting a collection from scratch requires hunting down traders who are willing to do two-blanks-for-one-tape transactions, and/or finding individuals who don't already have the items in your paltry collection. It might even involve the hassle of bringing a tape recorder and microphone to your own local venue and complicating your concert experience with the worries of audience recording. Beyond that, tape trading also involves the vagaries of shipping and handling (will Trader X package your tapes with the same loving care as you packaged his?) and of wondering just how clear that nth-generation recording will be once you actually receive it. [Sidebar 1: One can gain some indication of the degree of religious fervor in tape traders by their peculiarly Campus-Crusade-for-Christ-like optimism. For example, the lowest grade for sound quality that you'll ever see in a trader's collection is "Good." "Good" or sometimes even "Very Good" most often means that given a great deal of concentration on your part, and a professional-quality set of headphones, you should be able to determine that the tape is in fact a recording of music.] [Sidebar 2: Some of the problems of quality in tape trading are overcome by DAT, where generational degradation is eliminated. Unfortunately, the music industry has lobbied long and hard to ensure that DAT is too expensive for all but the most wealthy or obsessed to access.] In summary, tape trading is a hobby. It is not something you do if you don't have time for it, a too-often-overlooked fact that tends to exclude those indivduals who have an appetite for live recordings by their favorite artists but who also have jobs and/or other hobbies that prevent them from fully joining the taping fraternity. In addition, it is worth noting that cash transactions do take place in the course of tape trading, namely in buying blanks and stamps. The average single-tape trade might cost me $5.00, depending on the grade of tape I choose to use--relatively cheap, but still money. In the case of buying blank tapes, the music industry is quite aware that cash transactions are taking place, as anyone familiar with the industry's long history of opposition to home taping will recognize. One can only wonder what will happen to tape trader communities once record labels turn their attention from bootlegs to some other scapegoat for their continually diminishing sales... Now, compare this to CD bootlegs. They serve virtually the same market (the collector's market) as tape trading, so the argument about no one getting hurt applies equally to these CDs (meaning that anyone who buys a bootleg is highly likely to have bought every legitimate release by the selected artist as well). At $20-$30 a disc, they cost 2-5 times as much as tapes, but being CDs they'll last far longer, and--depending on the title--come with attractive packaging to sweeten the deal. As for quality, more often than not published and on-line guides help you to weed out the crappy ones, and if buying in person there are few vendors who do not allow you to listen before you buy. As a black-market item, it takes an effort to find them, but nothing like the investment required for tape trading. This leaves us with what the tape trader most often refers to as the "scumbag" bootlegger who makes the money off of the CD boot. While some might very well be "scumbags," many are genuine music lovers. While some bootleggers might be making loads of money from their trade, most bootlegs are pressed in runs of a few thousand, hardly a pimple on the back of the music industry. Speaking for myself, I have many bootlegs for which I begrudge the bootlegger not a cent, if only because they succeeded in producing a live recording superior to anything the "legitimate" label will ever manage. I'll put my Great Dane recording "Piece de Resistance" on the player over Springsteen's own "Live 75-85" any day. I'm not attempting to change any minds here--with fundamentalists, this is never a possibility. I guess I'm just addressing the disinterested third parties, who, being disinterested, probably haven't made it this far. Oh well. [Final note: I too have heard the news that the Dave Matthews Band is asking $10,000 each from 40 New England independent record stores to prevent court proceedings. In another situation, this would be called extortion, but this is what most lawyers do these days, so now it's legal. Needless to say, this has soured me on DMB considerably--I can't listen to them anymore, despite the fact that I considered "Crash" one of the best releases of 1996. Assuming this news is true, I wholeheartedly endorse the proposed boycott of DMB recordings, as it proves once and for all where their values lie.] ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 22:22:49 -0500 From: "carole walker" Subject: *etheridge* melissa connection i saw melissa in nov of 94 and between her songs when it is just her and her guiter on stage i handed her a coffee cup i had made with a pic of melissa and kd at lifebeat. she took it from my hand and held it up and looked at it. she said "hey, a mug with my face on it!" well, if that wasn't enough, she took it back to the drum set, wiped it out with the tail of her shirt and poured her water into it and drank from it for the rest of the evening - oh we screamed and screamed ( and screamed !!) it was almost more than we could take. :) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 19:37:29 -0700 From: mbulger@fred.fhcrc.org Subject: *etheridge* NMEC: Boot vs. Trade, Addendum First, in my previous post, where I referred to someone as "???" on the bootleg side of the thread, I meant to replace the ??? with "Susan Christopher." Apologies to Susan for forgetting to do so. Second, I have a few more thoughts, all regarding copyright infringement, all (once again) MHO. Many bootleggers would be more than happy to pay royalties to the artists in question, were they somehow allowed to do so. During the "protection gap" era in Italy, only recently ended, many companies did so in accordance with Italian law (placing such royalties in bank accounts in the artists' names, although all of the artists were prevented from collecting due to the nature of their contracts with major record labels). It should be noted that the "copyright" violation involved in releasing a live performance requires a somewhat liberal interpretation of what a copyright should cover, and who should benefit from such protection. In point of fact, international copyright law is only marginally related to protecting _artists_ from unlawful duplication of their work. It is actually directed toward, and more often used for, granting monopolistic rights on a given artist's work to _corporations_. It is also worth noting that the one mention I have seen of MLE's attitude toward commercial bootlegging indicated that she found the CD boot "Bonsoir Montreal" to be quite flattering. This is a typical reaction for artists in the early stages of their careers, when being bootlegged is often considered a sign of having "made it." [Of course, "Bonsoir" is a boot of a YIA tour performance, and by most standards MLE had both "made it" and been bootlegged long before.] I have now prattled on, off-topic, too long, and will desist from here on. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #48 ****************************** Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 04:01:29 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #49 etheridge-digest Saturday, April 26 1997 Volume 01 : Number 049 *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #48 *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #48 *etheridge* X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Mac (v2.2.0, wide beta 6) *etheridge* Melissa and me Re: *etheridge* bruce's "greatest hits" cd, "chasing amy" (NMEC) *etheridge* Petition to American Airlines: one struggle, one fight (fwd) Re: *etheridge* album titles Re: *etheridge* album titles *etheridge* Joyce's book *etheridge* Ellen update *etheridge* from list 48... *etheridge* MLE bio page at ABC ELLEN promo site *etheridge* Rethinking Amy--NMEC *etheridge* Re: Ellen - L.A.

Their values: DMB allows people to tape thier shows openly. You don't even need a taper's ticket (unlike metallica) And they're willing to support their tapers (and make a little money, for themselves off these CD's for once.)

Well now excuse me but I said that in good humor and fun. It seems that you are the one who has a problem with accepting someone who has a different view than your own. My opnion of the "All the opposers can eat my shorts" was directed at the people who would ban the film because the character was a lesbian. Do you not realize that there are some very ignorant people out there who would not go to see it just because of that fact. Being different is taboo in society and I was just standing up for the people who have the courage to do so. And to address your "grade school beavis and butthead-type remarks" the quote comes from Bart Simpson of The Simpsons and I attend college.

I have been reading Joyce's book (loving it) and I am wondering if we can sort of pass it around and maybe one day it will come back to me? All of you can write something in it and when it gets back to me, I will have a part of all of you, which is like having a part of melissa.

Heche and DeGeneres come clean in next week's People magazine for a story about coming out in Hollywood. Tongues started wagging when DeGeneres showed up at the Volcano premiere at Heche's side last week, and reports of the two being openly affectionate in public abounded. The New York Post's Page Six broke the story on their relationship last week, but Heche wasn't quite ready to go public with her love. "You know, it's all a part of this industry, and I'm laughing at it now," Heche told USA Today of the media speculation on her life. "I just think it's hilarious." It looks like business savvy is what kept Heche from coming out last week: she was very recently cast as the female lead opposite Harrison Ford in the romantic comedy Six Days, Seven Nights, a major coup for any actress, but likely an impossible one for an open lesbian. Heche tells People that "I'm happier than I've ever been. We are looking forward to a long future together." And a high-profile future at that--DeGeneres appears on tonight's 20/20 to discuss her coming out, and the happy couple will attend Saturday night's White House correspondent's dinner, where they'll rub shoulders with none other than President Clinton. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Apr 1997 11:03:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Heidi Walcutt Subject: *etheridge* from list 48...

But out of proportion doesn't mean impossible or ludicrous. In retrospect I see that I may have sounded flip. Didn't mean to come across that way; it's just that the first thing that came to mind when I read Rhonda's original post was JC falling for MLE. I meant that just because something -- anything -- is represented in a film in a stereotypical, formulaic, unrealistic way doesn't mean it can't necessarily happen. (This doesn't mean I believe in the reality of "Die Hard"-type movies!) Most mainstream films portray *everyone* and *every* situation unrealistically and out of proportion. I have a dozen examples off the top of my head. But I have a feeling realism doesn't sell many tickets. Have a great weekend all (if you observe weekends, that is). Diane B.

Sawyer asked Ellen about having children, so this particular clip could pop up on next week's part two of the interview, since they will talk about kids and marriage then. Anyway, Ellen told Sawyer that she had recently been present in the room when a friend gave birth...and Ellen is the God-Mother. Ellen said that after experiencing that, she has no desire to give birth herself, but that she would like to 'save' a little baby who needed a home and love.

I knew when I posted earlier this week that I was opening myself up to alot of things. I felt that it was important that people know who I am, where I am coming from and how narrow minded I was just six or seven months ago. I also feel that it is important that I answer Jo's 3 questions. >>1. If all gay people were as talented as Melissa would we then be "OK"? >>2. Do you know that Ellen is gay? >>3. Does this mean that as a gay person I should be willing to check out "straight" music? I will answer #3 first: When I first read this question, I thought "I've never labled music 'straight' or 'gay'. Music is music." Then I thought about what I wrote and maybe you interpreted what I wrote as labeling music; that was not my intention. I stopped listening to Melissa because she was a lesbian. Here is the reason why ---- When I make a decision not to support something I do that in a number of ways. In this case, I did not agree with her lifestyle at the time, so I chose not to listen to her or buy her music and make a stand against the gay/lesbian lifestyle. >>>>Boy was I stupid!! <<<< #1 Being raised as a Christian, I was always taught that all gifts and talents were blessings from ONLY God. Melissa is a brillant singer/songwriter/musician; yet, I was also raised to view homosexuality as a mortal sin. About six months ago my husband asked me the queston, "Do you believe in fate?" (Fate as in everything is meant to happen for a reason, good or bad, in God's plan.) Of course, I said yes. Up to this time, I believed that homosexuality was a choice. With this in mind, I was set up for the next question which would rock my view of the world as I knew it. "So if you believe in fate, then who is to say that being gay/lesbian is 'wrong'; whether one is as talented as Melissa or not." He had a point.('One small change that shapes your destiny'--ICHBY- - YLS) With his point and along with listening to Melissa's music opened my eyes and I began to see things in an entirely different light. #2 No, I don't know Ellen is gay. But now, after surfing the net and reading the Mailing list I do. I'm really looking forward to seeing her in People Magazine next week. I hope that maybe I have explained where I am coming from a little better. I have never meant to offend anyone, I am just being honest with people about me. I felt like such a creep for being so narrow minded, so I wanted people to know that my eyes have been opened.

It was Samson who had the power in his hair and Delilah just cut it off. Am I missing something or did 'Samson in my hair' just not sound as cool? >> To me having Dlihah in ones hair makes sense. To have Delilah in your hair would mean that someone has power over you and is weakening you.

Wow, what a great show! Personally, I have never gotten to see such great talent in such a small venue. I'm always the one with the nose bleed seats in some arena that seats 20,000 or more. It was great!! I was at a table about 20 feet from from the stage. What energy she has and radiates, even while sitting at the piano. I think her stop at this venue was a last minute kind of thing cause the tickets went on sale about 4 days before the show. Her warmup was Holly Palmer. Great voice! I found alot of similarities to Paula in her. She has a CD out on Reprise records that I'm planning to pick up soon. But for the non Paula Cole fans, you'd probably be more interested in who she had as her bassist. It was Mark Browne. I was really surprised. Not only did I get to be "up close and personal" with Paula Cole but also with a musician that's worked so closely with MLE. Needless to say it was a very rewarding evening. If Paula's coming to your neck of the woods, I would highly recommend catching her show. It was fabulous!!

I still don't feel the need to "get" lyrics to like them, but how's this? Sitting alone in a dark, smoky dive bar with the weight of the world on your shoulders (you decide why). Drinks are a buck each, and you suck back two in a row. You sit for a minute and let the rush slowly take effect, fogging your brain just enough to dull your senses but not enough to drown your problem. You look up to see the blur of a leather jacket with long hair and a scraggly beard shooting pool, or some bim with a Harley-Davidson halter top leaning on the juke box with a Marlboro in her hand; you stare right through them wondering why you're even there. (There's your $2 stare.) You should be somewhere else. You take a deep breath, shake your head and try to think clearly. Not sloshed but not completely sober anymore, either, you run through your emotions: angry, hurt, confused, frustrated. You need to take action. You gather strength that you don't really have (Delilah in your hair) and unrealistically decide that you are going to fix this situation with a sweep of your hand (Midas in your touch).You get off thebarstool and walk out into the night (with bad intentions on the soles of your shoes). Red-hot fever and chromium blues is the combination of your mixed emotions (red-hot anger and sadness). I don't have the head right now to go into how I think this imagery fits fairly well into the rest of the song, but I think this is what I'm gonna go with for now, unless/until someone else has another interpretation.

Hi all! Last week I've been asking you about who sang YCSWID with Melissa, beacuse this song is in my 'Acioustic' cd. Well the cd I have has a red cover with a B/W picture of Melissa on it, inside there are pictures of Melissa with Bruce. No lyrics or something else. It only says 'Recorded Live In USA'. (total time 78:08) There are 16 songs on it. (I bought it in Germany) 1) Come to my Window 2)Ain't it Heavy 3)If I wanted To 4)Bring me some Water 5)Maggie Mae 6)Yes I Am 7)Thunder Road (Duet with Bruce) 8)I'm the only One 9)Like the way I Do 10)No Souveniers 11)Similar Features 12)Dance without Sleeping 13)The weakness in Me 14)Me and Bobby McGee 15)You can sleep while I Drive (Duet with ????) 16)Let's get it On --> recorded live in a gig in Chicago (she says in the end of the song 'Bye ,bye Chicago!' or something like that...) Till song 10 it's only Melissa and her acoustic guitar. In SF there are bass, drums and keyboard supporting her. DWS has some keyboards, drums... In TWIM there is a Melissa and a piano (I supose that she is playing it herself). In song 14 is Melissa, her guitar some drums, well a band playind with her. Till the last song it all sonds like some acoustic show. When you listen to the audience it always seems small not too loud or at least as loud as in LGIO. And there are always some comments between two songs; Melissa talks to her audience, tells some stories about her and her career ; everything fits. As I did not see the acoustic myself I believed that everything was played there.... Does anyone know this cd???? (it really is super!) How are your 'Acoustic' cds???? C U soon!

Here I go...prolly opening a can of worms. Or at least opening my mouth, and maybe inserting my foot...but anyway...I do think it's more likely that the shift in one's sexual identity would tend to occur in the "from-het-to-bi-or-homo" than the other way 'round. Just cuz...there's so much societal pressure and support for us to be hetero, that is, well maybe I should speak personally rather than gernerally...I think I grew up knowing that society, my family, whatever expected and assumed that I was or should be hetero. And making fun of or misrepresenting lesbianism as disgusting, perverted, etc. So, I certainly didn't wanna be one of THOSE. (In fact I remember when I was in kindergarten, holding hands with my best gf on the playground, and the bigger kids calling me lezzie...I didn't know what that meant, but knew it was undesireable. I thought it was one of those 4-legged green things that runs around close to the ground). So, I tried to do the hetero way...very unsatisfying and empty for me. When I finally had the COURAGE to act on my love (and lust) for a woman...It was like "ah, hah! this is it." It was like coming home (in a good way), like a hidden truth about myself and the world had been revealed to me. Since I sorta knew what hetero life was like...why go back, it doesn't work for me. (Am I repeating myself? Am I repeating myself?) I think even tho lots of progress has been made in attitudes and information about lesbianism, it still takes lots of courage to be and do. So...I think it is unlikely, tho not impossible, for someone to embrace their homosexuality, then later discover that they are really hetero. Hard to imagine. I don't mean to offend anyone, and if I need enlightening...be nice, ok? - -marcy - -- http://www.lesbois.com/betasurely ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Apr 1997 15:01:30 -0700 From: velt1682 Subject: Re: *etheridge* The 'Acoustic' cd I have...

There is just never enough fun to be had with these crazy women. A mini-gathering of the faithful has occurred, we even managed to drag Barb Biagi out of the wilds of BC in her "groovy van" (thats just for you Rhondda). We spent yesterday afternoon under the needle (our nearly obligatory visit to the local tattoo artist here in Kent). More to come tomorrow, way too much art work to transfer...even got Barb in the picture here. Well, after celebrating the near advent of Susan's birthday (a party held at a local pool hall that imported a really bad DJ to spin 70's disco hits later on in the evening, enhanced by the stirring gyrations of the local lotharios decked out in their weekend finery which provides enough of a picture for you) we went over to historic downtown Kent to Sapphos. This bar appears in the pages of the Candace Gingrich book and is the local hotspot. Just ask Patty Wilcox...Plenty of fun there. It seems a friend from these parts (Lynn) has quite the reaction to cherry "pop", along the lines of pumping her full of sugar which is something she doesn't need! It all ended with a trip to Denny's where I'm sure the entire place thought our table of loonies were blasted out of our minds. I don't know if it was the result of cherry pop overdose or not, but Lynn had us laughing so hard we were left gasping for breath, we couldn't even blurt out the food orders! Ack, who would have thought that a simple order like two moons over my hammy could send a group of normally somewhat subdued (now Shirl, I can see your hand in the air already, don't go there) women into galloping fits of laughter. How can eggs and bread be so funny? With good intentions today, we finally got started about 1:30 pm to head into Seattle to Sheri and Lynn's place. First stop, the Pyramid Alehouse (rivalling Sam Adams, sorry Shirl but the truth must be told). A great place to stop, loads of the wonderful results of master brewers to sample. Decisions, decisions...Anyway, then we headed over to a shop that specializes in concert/musician collectables. We pawed through a box of Melissa paraphernalia which brought out a few good deals and plenty of sighs of delight. I spent a few bucks there, we are due for a return trip later this week and I'm primed and ready to go. Then we were treated to a truly special sight known in Seattle as the troll, ask Susan and Sheri about that one. (Hey Patty, I believe you made a visit to this shrine too) The night finished up with a homecooked Italian meal replete with hand made pasta provided by Lynn's very Italian mom. It was followed up with a chaser of Ellen and a dollop of Melissa tripping off the stage at Jones Beach in 1995. I can't believe I've only been here two days, it feels as if I LIVE here! Of course Susan would be really tired of me permanently settling on her couch... OK...Susan here now. First of all SueD & Barb are welcome to crash at my place any time! My roommate won't mind...really! I think what I really need to do is get a big house with many rooms for all the guests to come & go as they please. It has been a great couple of days & we've only just begun. I can't think of a better way to spend a few days than with these women! My abs have never had such a great workout! I laugh so much it hurts. Barb arrived late Friday night. She was tired from the long drive & ferry rides to get here from the great white north so we just chatted a bit & got to bed. Sheri came over Saturday morning & came to breakfast with Barb & I. It turned out that Sue's flight came in early of all things so we had to rush out of breakfast & head across the valley at break-neck speed to get to the airport. My driving reputation didn't get any better after that little trip. Good thing I have roll bars in the back of the Jeep huh Sue? Give you something to hold on to in the back seat. By the time we parked & got out onto the concourse, Sue had already arrived & was walking away from the gate. Luckily we hooked right up with her. After a quick stop at my place to drop Sue's things off, we headed to Kent Dermagraphics to get some new ink. I've got a web page I'm working on & pictures will be posted eventually. Barb is going to have her own page & is threatening to put up pictures of me wincing. We then came home & got ready for my birthday party. I picked a place that has a lot of pool tables, dart boards, etc but didn't realize they bring a DJ in on the weekends. We all had to scream to talk to each other. It was still fun though & I got a lot of cool ME goodies. My friends know me well! After the majority of the group had cleared out, the rest of us went to "historic downtown Kent" & partied at Sapphos. Afterwards we decided to grab a bite at Denny's & we finally got home & crawled into bed about 2:30. Today we were a little slow getting going but once we were finally up we were ready to take on Seattle. We hooked up with Sheri & Lynn & headed to the Hart's Brewery (they make Pyramid & Thomas Kemper) We had a nice lunch even though Lynn was feeling a little "tactile" & had some concerns about "evolving" Sue mentioned the trip to the Troll which is now a required stop on all Pacific Northwest visits. After some more sight-seeing we went to Lynn & Sheri's where Lynn's mom had prepared us some great authentic italian food. We ate 5 hours ago & I'm still so stuffed I can barely move. Tomorrow we are going to sleep in late, watch movies & Barb's gonna' take the big step & get a tattoo! Go Barb! Sue is going to get some more work done too. I'm just gonna' sit back & watch this time. At least....that's the plan for now. Tuesday we'll be partying in Seattle (my actual birthday) & Wednesday is the big Ellen coming out party. What a week! Barb's too tired to post right now. We're running her ragged I think! SueD, Susan & Barb ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #51 ****************************** Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 04:01:45 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #52 etheridge-digest Tuesday, April 29 1997 Volume 01 : Number 052 Re: *etheridge* Melissa and Ellen Re: *etheridge* Joyce's book *etheridge* Joyce's book Re: *etheridge* Melissa and Ellen *etheridge* Re: Coming Out Confusion... *etheridge* is ME on ELlen? *etheridge* I got it!!!

I was told all my life that homosexuals and QWeeahs were evil, nasty, depraved people who were going to be doomed to burn in hell bacause they were athiestic sodomites who did not believe in god, and were perverting the normal/natural way that god intended things to be done. I was brought up on the bible thumping of Leviticus, and all the rest of the passages that say that homosexuality is wrong, that those who practice homosexuality are doomed to eternal damnation, etc, etc, etc. Then I moved out the summer before my 28th b-day, and started meeting people. And low and behold I met people who where homosexual and they weren't the freaks, monsters, and perverts that I had always been told they were. slowly then I was able to start exploring my attraction to women, and eventually accept myself as lesbian identified. (Another long story here that I won't bore you with right now.) That attraction for women led me across the country from the east to west coast where I currently live. It's been a rough road, but then again who ever promised smooth paved highways? Well, the work day calls. More later...

She and her band the Imperial Monkeys have played at the Last Concert Cafe on Tuesday nights for a long time. I called the cafe today to see if she was still there, and they told me that she was on a tour in New York and was supposed to be back about May 12th. They weren't sure if she would make it back by then or not. Maybe she is doing really well up there. If any of you NY people get a chance, you should check her out. She is really good. She has a rather large following here in Houston and has won several awards. Joe, if you want to see her when she gets back, you'd better do it. I have a feeling that we won't get many more chances to see her for a 2 or 3 dolllar cover charge. When she is in town, she usually has a gig at some other place such as the Mucky Duck. I've only seen her once but want to see her again.

I also read Cris Nickson's, for comparison. All I will say about Cris' is that for a writer with a team of researchers, she wrote a poorly researched bio. Anyway, Joyce' book, OTOH, is lots of fun. She knows and likes the subject (but not so well that you end up reading stuff that you *really* didn't want to know about MLE, and stays away from gushing about how perfect Melissa is) and has researched things fairly well. The reading is smooth (one simply learns to read past the referencing if one wishes) and enjoyable. And, best thing of all, no faulty pop psychology! Most rock biographies fall into the horrid trap of psychoanalyzing their subject (or perhaps I should say, *trying* to psychoanalyze their subject) and Joyce obviously took the higher road. She came up with a great book! A definate must-have for Melissa fans, rock fans, and bio fans. Well done Joyce! And now, just for a snicker, here's a quote from a piece of email I received: "By the way, there's something I wanted to ask you; who's that chick Melissa E.?

I've been tossed off the list so often that I stopped counting. I just gathered pieces of what was going on. So please excuse if I'm gonna comment on things that have been discussed at length before. On Thursday I might also read how the Ellen show was. I know that non-Americans or non-Canadians are a minority on the list, but I guess a quite numerous one. Many of us won't be able to watch the show, so ___ But I've been promised a detailed report from a fellow lister, so I'll do OK. >Hey, girl from the wetlands!! Still raining?> I did not receive Teresa's original post to the list, just read some of the responses to that post, so I could kinda figure out what she'd said. And I think it's quite brave of Teresa to post and tell what she had to tell. Although I have a hard time understanding why somebody would dump a musician and refuse to listen to her music simply because she's a lesbian. Well, I don't have to understand everything, I guess, but I think it's really remarkable that Teresa bothered to tell that story and made herself very vulnerable to criticism. Marcy said something about the likelihood that it's more *common* to shift from hetero to bi or homosexual than the other way around. I agree. I don't know anybody who's been gay and then decided after a couple of years that that wasn't really what he/she wanted. When I was a teenager I considered myself hetero, actually I didn't consider myself anything. Hetero was the only thing I knew. I had major crushes on women (the oh-so-wonderful Diana Rigg *Emma Peel* from the TV-series 'The Avengers' was my first love, my English teacher the second), but still I didn't know what to make out of that and ran after the boys for many, many years. I was 23 when I started to be more honest to myself and let those feelings for women 'happen'. But I can't really imagine a time when being homosexual will be as *common* as being hetero (somebody on this list has as signature *Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common*). The question is will being gay always account only to a minority of plus/minus 10% of the society? I guess the only way to change that in the long run is that gays and lesbians become parents and teach their children that there is no such thing than *common* or *normal*. So hail to Julie and Melissa! I don't believe that it's a choice to become either hetero or homo. But I don't believe either that's it's something in your genes, because that really sounds like a deficiency that surely some scientists could *fix*. But if it's not a choice what is it then??? >head-scratching here and open to hear other opinions<. I'd love to live in a world where we wouldn't even discuss the whole subject. I made sure that I always wrote "I think" - this is just my opinion. Sorry, that this is NMEC. But I thought I'd threw my 2 cents in before *somebody* kicks me off the list again >g<. Now, this is really a threat, keep me on the list otherwise I'll post monster-emails regularly!!! Hey Sabine in Brazil. I've got the same acoustic CD you've got. Bought it in Germany, too. And the singer on YCSWID should be k.d.lang, it's from a LIFE beat concert in '94 (?). And don't be too sad that you'll have to live in Germany for the next 5 years. There are many MElisters here, so hopefully it won't become too lonesome for you. Next week I'm gonna go on a 3-weeks trip to Greece, to the island "Lesbos" >Patty, I'll certainly consider at least the two first items of your last email's subject!!! bfg< So maybe I'll finally find out where all that lesbianism comes from >giggle<. I'll tell you. One thing I already know is that all the lesbians should call themselves "Lesvians" because that's the way the Greek pronounce Lesbos. So, fellow lesvians, heteros, gays, bis >any label forgotten?>, and MLE fans (a label I'm happy to subscribe to) have a wonderful May!

I read in an interview that although Melissa receives no compensation from them, she understands why her fans want them. On one bootleg I have, I think it's the "Witch Queen of Cologne", she hollers out "This is going to make a great bootleg". I have also tried with verying degrees of success to tape the three Melissa concerts I have been to. At the '95 Biloxi concert they cought me with my camera, but fortunately the turkey didn't see the mic attached to my shirt or the recorder in my pocket. I may be naive, but how does it hurts the record companies if they don't issue the music themselves. I was disappointed that Melissa's MTV Unplugged was never released on an authorized CD. I have the concert on video, but since I can't make my own CDs to play in my car or at work, I bought the boot. Who but a true fan would pay $25.00 for a CD of a show that appeared on TV. The same is true for Duets, Lifebeat and Roots of Rock and Roll. I am hoping for a Storytellers boot. The boots themselves also have all kinds of interesting tidbits added to them to fill up the disc. These are also the same fans that probably bought every new authorized CD as soon as it was released and when and if Melissa issues her own concert CD or video I'll buy that. I think Melissa is terrific and I will continue to buy everything by her I can find, including concert photos and videos. Authorized or not. I wonder how many people that abhor bootlegs, bought the two unauthorized Melissa books we have all enjoyed so much. pk ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Apr 1997 00:12:31 -0500 From: karen thorpe Subject: *etheridge* trades wanted: anyone who can help me find Melissa's concerts on audio(or video), from Cedar Rapids, IA and her Leavenworth, KS concert.

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* "chasing amy", RH+L, MLE list visitors, bday wishes (NMEC) i've been too busy with work and MLE-list folk fun and games (more on that later on in my post) to participate much on the list the last week. i did want to reply to laurann's post from last week, though, before delving into other topics. Laurann F Boyd replied to my post about "chasing amy": >Well now excuse me but I said that in good humor and fun. that was difficult to tell from your very short post. before i replied, a few people had said they disliked the film or expressed their reservations about the subject matter. to me, when you said, "As for all the oposers of the movie Eat My Shorts!", it sounded like you weren't allowing *anyone* to disagree with you, even though you hadn't even seen the film yet. since i *had* seen the film and was disappointed in what appeared to be a cliched storyline (a self-identified lesbian switching teams, so to speak), i took your comment personally. perhaps that wasn't your intention, but that's how it seemed to me. in email, we don't have the luxury of seeing each other's body language or hearing each other's tone of voice, so we tend to take what people write more literally than if we were face-to-face. it becomes even more essential to be sure we are expressing ourselves clearly in our writing so that others do not misunderstand us. >It seems that you are the one who has a problem with >accepting someone who has a different view than your own. hardly. i love a good discussion as much as the next person. however, i will challenge those who try to stifle dissent, especially when those who are doing the apparent stifling haven't viewed the subject matter in question. >My opnion of the "All the opposers can eat my shorts" was >directed at the people who would ban the film because the >character was a lesbian. very commendable, however, i don't recall any of this being discussed previously on this list nor did you discuss this in your post. >Do you not realize that there are some very ignorant people out >there who would not go to see it just because of that fact. well, of course. >Being different is taboo in society and I was just standing up for >the people who have the courage to do so. again, very commendable, but i think you're expecting people to take a huge and unrealistic leap based on your post. i'm not convinced that anyone could determine this from any of the snippets i quoted from your post. >And to address your "grade school beavis and butthead-type >remarks" the quote comes from Bart Simpson of The >Simpsons but, of course. my mistake. it was after 11 pm, what can i say? that'll teach me to post so late... >and I attend college. great! i hope you continue. however, this fact is irrelevant. one's behavior/writing and schooling are mutually exclusive concepts. btw, i noticed from tuesday's "spotlight" that joey lauren adams from "chasing amy" will be on the letterman show on wednesday night. what with all of the ellen stuff and the IG on leno and now joey on letterman, my VCR/remote control will be smokin'! :-) ================== thanks to john's eagle eyes, i was able to purchase the "red, hot + latin" CD on saturday. of course, i had to go all the way up to the virgin megastore in SF to get it, since i was unsuccessful in locating it anywhere in the peninsula/south bay. but, i've had no time to open up the CD, much less listen to "sin tener a donder ir". soon, soon... ================== MLE list visitors: i can't believe i'm actually beating john and melanie to the punch about this w/e's events...:-) this w/e, BAB'ers john, melanie, and i got together with nicole, a german MLE lister, and her friend, uwe. after meeting them at their hotel, john and melanie took nicole and uwe MLE cd and joyce's book shopping. i couldn't meet up with them at that time, but i did manage to get together with everyone for dinner at the patio cafe. an amazing feat, actually, since i almost walked by the group on castro street, until john called out my name. we had a yummy dinner at the patio cafe, and had our waiter take several goofy pictures of our group (with several cameras!). everyone was beat from the long day, so we decided to call it a night, since most of us were getting together the next day for more fun and games in the city. on saturday, john and i picked up nicole at her hotel (uwe had other touring plans), and went to "soupstock" in golden gate park, an afternoon-long annual benefit sponsored by the group "food not bombs". one of john's friends from the ani-list, alisha, and her friend danielle accompanied us. unfortunately, most of the music was so-so, but it offered us an opportunity to relax on blankets in the sun (i've got the sunburn to prove it!) and chat. since john and alisha needed to meet up with a few other people to go to the jane siberry show, we needed to leave before the benefit was over (and just as the music was starting to get good). after scarfing down a quick dinner at alisha's apartment, nicole and i separated from the rest of the group. originally, we were going to meet up with melanie in berkeley and do some more CD shopping, but mel was too tired from her tennis tournament to join us. so, nicole and i took off for berkeley on BART (look for the fish in the tube! ;-) ), our subway. we didn't have any luck finding any MLE-related CDs, but we both managed to find a little something to purchase (more than a little something in my case!). we ducked into cody books so that nicole could buy the nickson bio. to round out the evening, we had a beer at jupiter's, a great berkeley brew pub that often features live music (a funky, caribbean-style band played). sadly, nicole's short time in the bay area was over, but she promised to come back and visit. more upcoming visitors (all from germany!): this friday night, tim's friend, gitta, who made the awesome balloons for MLE's final LA show, will be joining several of us at the lisa germano/melissa ferrick show at the bottom of the hill club in SF. on may 8th and 9th, tanja and jana will be visiting the bay area. the tentative plans are to have dinner at the patio cafe on the 8th - - they should just set up a permanent "BAB'er table" - and the free (!) melissa ferrick solo show at the stanford coffeehouse on the 9th. all are welcome to join us! ================== lister b-day wishes: since it's after midnight, happy belated 30th bday wishes to that wacky PNW'er, susan! i'm sure sue d will drink your share for you (and is probably working on next year's share to boot ). and, happy bday to marcy!

This week's most famous female couple worked the White House Correspondents' Assoc. dinner and its satellite parties, indulging in huge Public Displays of Affection nearly every step of the way- even during their private meeting with President Clinton. In a clingy short turquoise dress, twirling atop sexy bronze sandals with skyscraper heels, Heche, 27, raised an eyebrow and allowed that a few weeks ago, nobody much cared who she was. Now she's out there, too, twinkling in the spotlight of what she says is her first lesbian relationship, which just happens to coincide with her current roles as Tommy Lee Jones's leading lady in "Volcano" and as Johnny Depp's wife in "Donnie Brasco." And she's just finished shooting a political satire with Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro and has been cast as a romantic lead opposite Harrison Ford. This is what is called, in Hollywood, an erupting actress. Not too long ago, she spent a couple of years paired with Steve Martin and crowed with glee over filming sex scenes with Alec Baldwin and Depp. The daughter of a fundamentalist Baptist preacher, she learned when he was diagnosed with AIDS that he was a closeted homosexual. "What I learned from his death is that if you don't accept your own sexuality, it will kill you," Heche told an interviewer last year. For now, she and DeGeneres, 39, who met at an Oscar party last month, are portraying themselves in the first flush of passion. Said fellow blond actress Sharon Lawrence, watching their show early yesterday morning: "They make a good couple, don't you think?"

What a kind thought to think about all of the flowers people have given to us. I wonder how many it would take to win over the heart of a new love? My wager would be, just one. We are all gearing up for the Ellen show tonight. I'm excitable!!! I am in hopes that this is the beginning of something wonderful. Melissa has inspired us and sent the message down that we have to deal with fear and conquer it. That one day we can all walk hand in hand and love one another and have no such word in our vocabulary known as fear. That we stand up and we know we are loved and that there is nothing wrong with who we love especially ourselves. For where we sow the seeds of love beauty is sure to follow. I want for us all to be proud of who we love. Even if it means loving a bear of very little brain! And the flowers we collect will make a garden and the garden will bring a fragrance that will fill the air with warmth and understanding and love. And people will gather to bask in its beauty and they will see and they will know and it will be wonderful. For who can resist the flowers and who can resist the warmth of a full and glowing heart. No one I say. Let us go forth and sow the seeds, Let us become the flowers and let us be filled with warmth. Simply, Let us be.

I would never buy a bootleg (for ethical as well as legal reasons) and yet sales of a "b-sides" bootleg of my favorite band were a direct and mentioned reason that the band's record company has now refused to release an officials b-sides compilation that was in the works. The greediness of the bootleggers, the distributors and retailers of the bootlegged cds, and the indifference of fans who "just wanted the music" without thought to the band (hey, if you love an artist so much, why wouldn't you want them to receive proper credit/royalties from the release of their own material???????!!!!!!!) has now made it impossible for me and millions like me to ever enjoy a compilation of great music. > >>> I was disappointed that Melissa's MTV Unplugged was never released > >>> on an authorized CD. > >It was decided not to release it because of fear that it would > >interfere with the sales of YLS. And rightly so. Take a look at the Unplugged releases thus far - they have all been marketed as major releases by the artist. They haven't followed hard on the heels of another release, they have been used as a stand-alone project. They have won Grammy awards (Eric Clapton) and spawned tours (Rod Stewart). To release one right before or right after a CD of new material would've been ridiculous - it wouldn't have sold to a level appropriate for the release of an Unplugged CD (I don't think any of them have failed to go multiplatinum, I'll have to check on that though) and YLS would've been overlooked by the casual fan/consumer who would've chosen the "familiar" territory of the older music featured on the Unplugged compilation. > >>> I wonder how many people that abhor bootlegs, bought the two > >>> unauthorized Melissa books we have all enjoyed so much. > >Good point! I wish I'd thought of that. But there is a MAJOR difference. Bootlegs ignore the copyrights and legal protections that artists have in regard to their music. In fact, bootlegs completely infringe upon copyright. And lets not forget royalty agreements - boots shoot those all to hell. Unuthorized biographies are indeed a way for other people to capitalize on another person's fame and talent, but they aren't illegal. No copyrights or protections are violated just because an artist is being written about without their cooperation or agreement, and a decent (read honest) and skilled writer (like our own Joyce) doesn't have to break any laws to obtain their information (though in some cases, NOT ALL, they employ a level of ethics most often ascribed only to lawyers and other such sleazy professions ;D ) or to market their product. Also, the impact on the artist is minimal - if Melissa released an autobiography, or an authorized biography that was written with her full cooperation appeared on the market, I'm sure that fans who would buy the unauthorized tale would likely buy the "real" version, to see how they compare. While much data would be the same, there would be enough difference and discrepancy to make a second book worthwhile reading, but honestly, one live version of "This War is Over" or "Bring Me Some Water" is likely to sound very much like another. .

Yesterday I've been talking to a friend about hollywood movies and the true 'art' movies (as he called it). Well he said I should have a look at 'Sister my Sister' (a Nancy Meckler film) with Joely Richardson and Jodhi May. (it's a 1994 movie; I do not knoew if you already discussed about this movie before but I would love to hear/ read your oppinions) For him, that way of filming was art, and he lend me the tape. Settled in the early 1920 (I think) it is basicly the story of two sisters that get to work as maids in the same house. They fall in love with (non-fraternal) each other, ... (tragic flaw with a tragic ending) It's based on a true story. Somehow it's very similar to 'Heavenly Creatures' , expecially the end. I liked the movie, for those who do not know it and saw 'HC' or those who did not, I would recommend. Did anyone on this list watch this movie???? What did you think about it?? Oh, there is another movie I would like to talk about: 'Mr. Wrong' with ELLEN ( De Generes, of course), Bill Pullman. Did you watch it? Was it her first movie??? I'm asking because in the 'back cover' of the case, there was only written her name and usually you can find a small list with the most important movies in wich the actor/ actress has worked in. Well, I do not know what I should say about the movie... BUT: I would know what to say about Ellen De Generes. It was actually the first time I saw Ellen's work (we don't get her 'program' here in Brazil...). She is really funny. It was a hilarious interpetation (I think: too good for this movie...). I liked her a lot! No wonder she (at least seems to be) so popular arround here. That's all for today folks! C U soon & rock on with Mel...

Everything I read about the show said Melissa was going to sing the opening song. I had a tape in one VCR to tape the whole show and my Melissa tape in another VCR to catch her part. When there was no song I thought "Oh No" they left Melissa's part out. I'm still laughing over that ending skit. Melissa looked terrific. I sure wish she would come out of hiding more often. I hope you all taped Oprah today. They showed a little bit of a blues song Melissa and Ellen sang together that was not part of the show. Still laughing, pk ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Apr 1997 21:36:41 -0700 From: J&C Subject: *etheridge* Just too fired up! Me again. Never posted to the list until today and here is my 2nd little thought. Anyone watch Oprah with Ellen? Ellen sure was correct when she stated to Chrysler that a lot of gay people drive Jeeps! Thanks for your support, Chrylser. Maybe someday people will realize just how many gay people there are in the world. Whether it is accepted or not; whether marriages are legalized or not; sorry people, but these feelings and all of the people feeling them are just not going away. Looking for the day when others realize that we are just people too! ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Apr 1997 23:43:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Sleighgirl@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* NMEC Morning Melisters! Here's hoping a lot more people will "wake up from the American Dream" tonight! Go Ellen! jill I woke up from the "American Dream" a few months ago. I have been in the closet, and hiding from my straight friends, praying for the "American Dream". After watching Ellen's show tonight, I told my first friend that I am gay. It is a start. :) sleigh ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Apr 1997 22:57:34 -0400 (EDT) From: MeemNan@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* MLE on Ellen What happened? The end scene with Melissa, Laura and Ellen was SUPER, but where was the opening number? I thought Melissa was going to sing? Maybe on next week's show? Anyone heard anything? Did I miss the discussion?

Bleeker" Subject: *etheridge* MLE on Ellen Hello everyone! I was extremely disappointed that they didn't air the opening with ME tonight. After all the hype and hoopla, it really wasn't fair. To those who've already spoken, no,,,it wasn't just your station. Who knows why they cut it? Very disappointing,,,,,,, The trailer was great, though. As was the clip on Oprah of Ellen and ME singing the blues song. Ellen deserves a standing ovation for, not only 'The Puppy Episode', but also her appearance on Oprah, PrimeTime, 20/20, and Time Magazine. She was so honest and truthful. She just wants to be accepted for herself, you have to give that to her, and applaud her for it. No matter how much she doesn't want it, she is a hero. I'm KMTodd, and yes, this is my first posting. I've generally enjoyed reading all of your opinions and comments. We are all so diverse and interesting, don't you think? ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #55 ******************************
