He's done a review of gay mens' bars and clubs in London, and invited me to do the same for womens' venues. So, at much personal sacrifice, I checked (and in some cases double-checked) some places and you'll find the results at this site. My thanks to Paola, Juliet, and most frequently, Kate - all of whom assisted me in this onerous research project at some point or other. (And you all thought I was just out to get drunk. Shame on you!) If you do check it out, Sarah Watts *is* me - I'm going back to my maiden name now. Happy reading!

Here is the posting in fact: >>After the evening was kicked off with rocker (not as in Cleveland) Melissa Etheridge belting out the National Anthem, the Los Angeles Sparks pretty much flattened a very weary looking Utah Starzz team.<< I tried to post that I'd heard she sang once but I guess it never went through.

Saw the post about the Sparks game, and thought you all would enjoy this, is from the MLE aol message board. Heijj spread these wings and i'm on for the ride.......and such a ride it has been so far.... =0) From: ELKHockey Message-ID: <19970731044201.AAA12315@ladder02.news.aol.com> I saw Melissa and Julie tonight. Melissa was at the Los Angeles Sparks (WNBA) game to sing the National Anthem. I had just sat down to my seat when I heard the announcer say "And now, to sing the National Anthem, Melissa Etheridge." I was sure I was hearing things. But then, the crowd went wild, and our Missy walked to the center of the court and began to sing. She was, of course, AWESOME. When she was done, she walked over to her courtside seat where Julie was waiting for her. Bailey was not present, but shortly after the game started, Julie left. Melissa stayed for the rest of the game. By the way, Julie looked great. Obviously, I watched Melissa more than I watched the game. I wish you all could have been there!!! If you want any more details, e-mail me tomorrow. I just stopped by work so I could share this with all of you. Now, I'm heading home. A very happy ridger, I'll try to answer all the questions that were either posted or e-mailed to me. I have to say the first thing I thought of was how much I was hoping that there were other ridgers at the game. If the Sparks (the LA WNBA team) were smart, they would have advertised it. The place would have be sold out for sure!!! How did she look? What was she wearing? Well, she had on her purple crushed velvet shirt (I'm sure you all know the one I'm talking about). Her hair looked like it had grown a few inches since I last saw her (the final concert in LA last December), and her hair also looked a little darker (not real dark, just like she hadn't gotten more highlights in the last few months). Was the game televised? I don't think it was. A lot of the weekday games are on either ESPN or Lifetime, but I don't think this one was. There were cameras at the forum, so I'm hohpeful that it was recorded for something, and that everyone will get a chance to see it! How did she sound? How did she sing it? Obviously, she sounded great!!! She sang it slowly, with a lot of feeling, and really showed off her range. She didn't belt it out like a rock star, much more like a blues singer. It was very powerful. That's about it for now, I should get back to work. I'll post more later!

I think, before you continue to make a fool of yourself, that you should realize that people aren't getting angry with you because you might not agree with everything Melissa does. In deed, if you'd been around long enough, you'd realize that there are many fans who are very objective about Melissa, her music and her clothes. But your remarks were unjustifiably harsh. All the original poster was doing, was reporting a sighting and, in anticipation of questions which she knew might be asked, made a couple of observations. Not once did she imply that she thought Melissa should have taken Bailey with her; it's purely logical that, since the only news we've had recently concerning Melissa was about the birth of her baby, she should comment on whether Bsiley was there or not. The post was not in the least bit judgemental - merely factual. Also, the reason we are on this list is, presumably, because we do like at least some of Melissa's music. Some like it all regardless, some are a little more discerning. So, it's understandable that an enthusiastic fan should think that Melissa was "ofcourse awesome". If that's what she thinks, that's her right. It's also safe to assume that, even if you don't like everything Melissa does, most of us think she has a remarkable voice. Finally, if you'd been around long enough, you'd also know that there has been much discussion on this list regarding Melissa's clothes. Again, all the poster was doing was filling in those who would be interested in what she was wearing. That's part of the purpose of this list - to keep each other up to date with what Melissa is up to. Since Melissa chose such a public place to be seen it's perfectly justifiable that this might be discussed. If you're not interested, then just skip over it. Don't slam someone for being informative. And be careful about getting the wrong end of the stick and running away with it - and then getting on your high horse because you think you're the only one who's an objective fan. You're not. Arguments such as yourshave been seen many times on this list before - and, of course, that's healthy; but they're only really relevant when they're brought up at an appropriate time. And this wasn't. On a personal note, I think it's great that I can end my time on this list with some actual MEC!! 'Bout time! So thanks to the person who posted that!

When Heijj posted that news about the Melissa sighting at the Sparks game, I was so thrilled that it took me hours to realize it was a copy from AOL. I only wish she had written in Erica's email address -- I'd like to thank her. So I was surprised when some of our own MEListers bitched about the content, or the meaning, or even each other's geneology. It's easy to "fill in" for Melissa's absence. For example, there are lots of concerts, indoors and out. Find any artist you like, and attend. You'll find you can dance and smile to lesser artists until the real one comes around again. It's fun. I expect to see some postings about the Lilith Fair, which is on tour now. But mostly, it's summer, go out and have lots of fun!

In other words, unless someone has additional info to report on the actual MLE sighting, this topic is over. It was fun to hear about her appearance/performance and no one implied that we *all* had to be thrilled about it and/or giz on our chairs/monitors/keyboards/floors/ouija boards (wherever it is we, as individuals, sit while reading the list). Too bad it had to turn into the beginnings of a freaking fiasco, eh? Folks, if I've said it once, I've said it a million times...responding to crap-posts on the list only breeds more crap. It's not the original 'nasty' post which starts the flames and noise, it's the ensuing responses that get the ball rolling. This list is moderated for stuff like this. If you feel the need to respond to posts such as the one which started this most recent spat, DO IT OFF-LIST! I've neither the time nor the patience to deal with trying to 'keep the peace' this week. Further posts--regardless of their tone--regarding the follow up to the original informative Sparks/MLE/National Anthem post will be greeted with warnings for their senders.

Go to: http://www.geocities.com/West/Hollywood/2020 About 1/2 way down the page, you'll find the link. Don't pay much attention to the rest of the page, however, I put it up about 2 months ago and haven't had much time to get back to it. I will take this opportunity to implore all 'list newbies' to visit the page where the guidelines are listed and look them over. It could make your stay a much more enjoyable one for both yourselves and other listers. If anyone would like a copy of the guidelines and is without access to the WWW, email me *privately* and I will send you a copy.

Smec Good morning all, Can we try to have a posting that isn't answered with "I don't care","So what", "kiss mine", "it's the fault of the newbee"s etc...etc How about a melissa oe even a personal topic? What was the first thing that stood out to you in melissa's music? Did you like the words, the arrangement, instrumentation, her voice, the feeling the songs gave you and what were they. Personally I became aware of melissa when I stayed with my friend for an extended visit. I found myself singing along when she played the c.d. for the 1000th time. The song that stuck out the most was CTMW. It was before the lyrics made sense and meant something to me, but for some reason I just kept humming the song. It stuck in my head. Now it means something and her music has taken on a whole new dimention. Anyone else have anything to add? Have a great morning:) Laura ****************************************************************** * 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, 5 Aug 1997 12:37:37 -0400 From: a.lias@juno.com (A.

I heard BMSW first, I think, and remember saying to myself, "Gawd that woman can really belt out a tune!" I've since come to enjoy listening...over and over...to some of my favorite lyrics for the messages in the songs. Depending on my moods, one day DYN says one thing and then the next I hear something a bit different...a phrase or two seem to attach themselves to my mood for the day. The question that still goes unanswered for me is...What in the h*ll is the meaning behind LSD????

We've been over the whole idea of posts having to state "in my opinion" or "this is what I think" too many times. I think reasonable listers know that most posts are the *opinion* of the person writing; the fact that it's an opinion is what should be inferred. If I say that TWIO sucks, does that mean it sucks? It means that *I* think it sucks and if you don't think so, then fine, you don't have to. Argue the merits of the song if you care to, not how I worded the statement. But I'm not going to start every post with "I think" or "My opinion is" just b/c some people are looking for nits to pick. (Though it's not a favorite, I don't think TWIO sucks, BTW.

Breathe deep. Remember when you used to open up your mailbox and read the list and it was a beautiful experience?? Talk of music filled the air? Can you hear it? Passion bloomed from every line. The smell of energy and fire filled your senses! You felt like the list was about music and being connected to something bigger than yourself. And nice things were said and you felt like you knew where they were coming from. And even not so nice things were mentioned but it was okay because everyone had their own opinion and were entitled to that and it made you sit back and laugh outloud because you knew these people were clueless to the magic. Smile. Grin. Hope. Dream. Know. The magic is there, the warmth and music is too. And this list is ready to bust wide open with hope and excitement for the new voice and music from the well. Hold on everybody the ride is gonna be wild. We are the believers of the music and what is truth. We hold out in the desert for the rain and know with our heads held back and our eyes still closed that the wave will carry us through as we ride through streets of darkness and stand with empty pockets smiling in the storm for we have been waiting and wanting to hear for so long. And we know in our hearts that the music will come. Yes, the music will come. Come to the window and listen what lies beyond for kindness is the key that opens the doors. And all are welcome when kindness turns the latch.

I was referring to the song the Late September Dogs when I mentioned LSD. I guess it could be used for Skin deep as well:-) Ooops! So, to be a bit clearer, I have always puzzled over the words/meaning of "Late Spetember Dogs." What is Melissa talking about? I'm not great with poetry or things such as metaphors and similes and other lyrical/poetic devices. I know what they are , I just don't recognize 'em when I sees 'em. If anyone would be so kind to give me there impressions/ideas/whatever, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Even if it is NOT what Melissa meant behind the songs. I think we connect to songs because of the images created in our own minds regardless of the author's original intent. I know I have heard Melissa say (I think it was on Storytellers) that her songs have meant different things to different people. This is just one song that only seems to conjure up confusion for me.

Vicky's acronym list of MLE songs was very thorough, including several songs available only on "import" (bootleg) CD's... though, as she said in her post, Vicky was only trying to list acronyms for songs with three or more words in the title. There is another list of MLE song acronyms which might have every song, including song titles of less than three words... it can be found at Kelley Piper's excellent Melissa web-page: http://www.clever.net/lounge/ Her page includes two acronym lists: http://clever.net/lounge/Melissa/alphab.html (alphabetic sort) http://clever.net/lounge/Melissa/acronyms.html (sorted by album) ---- CONGRATS!

Did you like the words, the arrangement, instrumentation, her voice, the feeling the songs gave you and what were they. For my answer, I guess I would say that Melissa was one of those "undefined" artists for me for a while. (I can't say how long, because it's impossible to know.) By "undefined" I mean that I heard her songs, but was never able to link the ones I heard to a single person. Until CTMW. Then I just had to find out who sang this song. After I found out who the artist was, I could identify others songs that I had heard in the past, but had no idea who was performing them. It was like an "ah-ha" moment each time I could connect an older song (i.e. No Souvenirs) with an artist that I know and like. There was a common theme however: each song I recognized, I liked because it sounded *real*. You can tell by listening which songs are played by talented musicians and which ones are engineered on computers. I like the raw sound of an intense, capable artist who can communicate solely through their voice/instrument. Needless to say, it took me some effort to appreciate the Never Enough album (2001, for instance). As for the feeling the songs gave me, they are always changing. But I remember having a huge crush on this person when CTMW came out, and the line "I would dial the number just to listen to your breath" was quite appropriate because I was to scared to actually talk to them!

Most blues begin "woke up this morning." 2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the blues, unless you stick= something nasty in the next line. I got a good woman-- with the meanest dog in town. 3. Blues are simple. After you have the first line right, repeat it. Then= find something that rhymes. Sort of. Got a good woman with the meanest dog in town. He got teeth like Margaret Thatcher and he weighs about 500 pounds. 4. The blues are not about limitless choice. 5. Blues cars are Chevies and Cadillacs. Other acceptable blues transportation is Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die. 6. Teenagers can't sing the blues. Adults sing the blues. Blues adulthood= means old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.= 7. You can have the blues in New York City, but not in Brooklyn or Queens= =2E Hard times in Vermont or North Dakota are just a depression. Chicago, St.= Louis and Kansas City are still the best places to have the blues. 8. The following colors do not belong in the blues: a. violet b. beige c. mauve 9. You can't have the blues in an office or a shopping mall, the lightin= g is wrong. 10. Good places for the Blues: a. the highway b. the jailhouse c. the empty bed Bad places for the Blues a. Ashrams b. Gallery openings c. weekend in the Hamptons 11. No one will believe it's the blues if you wear a suit, unless you happen to be an old black man. 12. Do you have the right to sing the blues? Yes, if: a. your first name is a southern state--like Georgia b. you're blind c. you shot a man in Memphis. d. you can't be satisfied. No, if: a. you were once blind but now can see. b. you're deaf c. you have a trust fund. 13. Neither Julio Iglesias nor Barbra Streisand can sing the blues. 14. If you ask for water and baby gives you gasoline, it's the blues. Other blues beverages are: a. wine b. Irish whiskey c. muddy water d. one bourbon, one scotch and one beer Blues beverages are NOT: a. Any mixed drink b. Any wine kosher for Passover c. Yoo Hoo (all flavors) 15. If it occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is a blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse, or being denied treatment in an emergency room. It is not a blues death if you die during a liposuction treatment. 16. Some Blues names for Women a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie 17. Some Blues Names for Men a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Lightning Persons with names like Sierra or Sequoia will not be permitted to sing t= he blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis. 17B. Other Blues Names (Mix and Match Starter Kit) a. Name of Physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Asthmatic) b. First name (see above) or name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Kiwi) c.

"Where the Day Takes You", a film that used some of Melissa's music, is on Bravo (US, I don't know about Bravo! Canada) tonight at 8pm ET. It stars Dermott Mulroney (the groom-to-be in "My Best Friend's Wedding" and the cello player on one song on "Never Enough"). It was directed by Mark Rocco. Gee, I wonder where I've heard that name recently. :-) Sorry to those of you on digest who won't get this on time. Congratulations/felicitations/mazel tov! (that's it for my language skills) to our beloved listowners. A few months ago Glenna did post that they'd picked the date; she just never mentioned what the date was.

Statements like these, about any artist, always intrigue me. Nobody likes every artist they hear - we all have different tastes. And if we did all like the same artists, how could we experience the thrill of turning somebody on to the artist?

Sitting here on the branch of this oak tree looking down and thinking. Seems that fall is teasing us here in Ohio and the brisk mornings and bright clear skies at night are a true delight. Makes one fire up the ole campfire and want to stand near to draw from its heat. Mystifying this fire we watch so intensely. Seems the flames reach right out and grab hold of us and beckon us to come closer and be warm. I personally get captured by the way the flames dance and catch my utmost attention. It has been a bit chilly ever sense Melissa left us out here camping in the wild. But if we look real close we can feel her passion and dance to her music as the flames open or hearts to dream and sends our senses to places past and present. Within the blues and amber colors of the flames we are transcended to a time when music flowed from the stage and fans begged for more. Eyes were played on and off the stage and dreams came true as the wizard danced behind the curtain in the flames. And we were drawn closer to the fire of Melissa and those we loved and life was good. Now it is up to us to keep the fire burning in ours hearts and let it spread to those who have not heard nor seen for this is how a fire spreads and this is how we keep the warmth and glow alive. So throw another log on the fire and sit back and remember the times we shared the music and hold onto the times yet to come when we will stand amidst the flames and dance in its glow. Much Warmth, "POOH" Vaughn@oumail1.email.ohiou.edu ****************************************************************** * 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, 07 Aug 97 18:17:34 From: "miriam" Subject: *etheridge* Once again info and....help me please 08/14/1997 TV The View (ABC) Indigo Girls will perform thier single "Get Out The Map" Miriam (with the Hat!) ****************************************************************** * 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, 7 Aug 1997 09:38:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Sarah Lyman Subject: *etheridge* WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

I want to thank Kimmie(quiet Bab'er) for being my personal trainer while I was in town. In the 3 days I was there we did a 3.5 mile hike, complete with the biggest snake I have ever seen - talk about letting out a high pitched fem scream, played basketball and softball and worked out at Gold's Gym twice(my arms are still soar). I had the good fortune of meeting Joyce Luck and friend at our favorite meeting place, Patio Cafe. Actually sat down beside them at the bar for about 10 minutes and didn't realize they were listers. Could have been that lady sitting on the other side of me distracting me with the wine list that had me off gaurd. Shortly there after came John and Rhondda followed by Mel and her friend. Gee, I was the only solo their that evening(sniff, pout face). Anyway we promptly gave our infamous list wide salute, "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK" and Coerced Joyce Luck into autographing her book for those of us who had our with us, Doohhll(Homer Simpson)left mine at home.

Your very welcome, however I can't take all the credit. I was surfing different MLE sites and I found one which had a GREAT list of all the songs MLE has ever recorded. I just added the acronyms. It also had the lyrics and, (I think), which albums they were on. I thought I had the site bookmarked and several listers have asked me for the list. For the life of me I can't find where I got it. If anyone recognize's this list could you please post your site. It was one of the most extensive lists I have ever seen. It also had songs on it that MLE has recorded with other artists. Thanks in advance.

I sent you a private email thanking you for the wonderful time I had, and for inviting me along. Since you have been having email problems, did it not make it to you?

I don't know the language warning because every other word was bleeped - to the point where it actually became difficult to follow the dialog (although I'm sure preparing dinner and getting a phone call during the movie didn't help much either). I was unaware that Bravo censored films but the warning at the begining that it had been "altered" for television (as opposed to "edited for television" which the major networks use") should have been a clue. The Internet Movie Database lists the film at 105 minutes. If so a couple of minutes were cut (and I think I know where); if, in fact, it's 120, a lot was cut.

Damon did, indeed, receive an answer to his problem, but the answer that I gave him will probably not fix your duplication problem. I've noticed lately that a lot of people are either leaving the address of the original sender in the CC line when responding to posts on the list, or, as in Laura's case, they're leaving the list address on the CC line when they are trying to send private messages (for instance, Damon will receive Laura's mail twice since she sent it to both him and the list). I would suspect that this is the main problem with many people receiving duplicate list messages. I believe, that even with the worst of mail readers, it's not that hard to check the CC and TO lines when posting to the list.

They cut it to absolute ribbons.(Why would anyone cut one second of Bette is beyond me.) So, now I watch Bravo with a grain of salt. It's too bad that Bravo had to be showing Where the day takes you, because it's a wonderful film. If you have access to The Independent Film Channel, keep an eye out for it, because its owned by the same company as Bravo and it should be on IFC in a couple of months. IFC doesn't cut their movies.

I'll add that some people here do not intentionally choose 'reply-to-all'. It's simply the *default* assumption of their mailer, and they're (1) not aware that it's happening, or (2) don't know how to change the option. I see this occur most often on PINE mailers used by schools... for example, Laura's reply to Damon's WHY post was sent to Damon, and also cc'd to the list... perhaps Laura *meant* to select 'reply-to-all', but every message she has sent since April 9 has used 'reply-to-all', so I'm guessing she's not aware that her mailer is doing this... I know others (on other lists) who mail from her school, and they also send multiple copies of each post via the 'reply-to-all' feature, so I assume the Canisius data center has configured their PINE mailer to assume this option... or perhaps Canisius has not explained to their students when *NOT* to use *reply-to-all'. In my opinion, one's mailer should *never* use 'reply-to-all' as the default reply mode... if there are people here who do not know how to reconfigure their reply option, I can help you via private email. ^^^^^^^ John Miller or 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: Fri, 8 Aug 1997 17:54:59 -6000 From: "Patti Fink" Subject: Re: *etheridge* Re[2]: (NMEC) ADMIN--Duplicate posts JohnJuan DeMiller (man of 1000 appellations) offered himself up: > John Miller or So....John, dear....what, pray tell, does the "P" in your name stand for?

You'll probably get several answers to this including ones on the morality of bootlegging (some of which may even be from tapers). Bootlegs come in all formats - cd, vinyl, tape. Bootlegs come from various sources - live concerts, studio outtakes, alternate versions, demos, radio and tv broadcasts. In North America bootlegs are illegal. Many come from Europe where the copyright laws are different. But even that's being cracked down on now. Some bands - most notably The Grateful Dead - allow fans to tape their concerts and TRADE tapes. No profit is made. That doesn't make it technically legal, just acceptable. Some artists don't care about bootlegs ("you know you've made it when you've been bootlegged"), some are very much against them and some have changed their minds over the years. And, pure speculation on my part, some may even be involved with the releases. Quality varies. Somebody wrote that all of Melissa's were good. Contents wise, perhaps, but quality, doubtful. Most fans probably trade to increase their collection or help out somebody who's new to trading, not for profit. Somebody whose business is selling bootlegs is naturally going to want to make a profit. And considering how few copies are made of any given bootleg, there likely isn't a great profit on them despite that they cost twice what a legitimate release in the same format costs. Am I the only one who remembers when bootleg vinyl was CHEAPER than commercial releases?

I've been bootlegging tapes all summer (mostly Indigo Girls, but a little Melissa) and I have *NEVER* sold one for profit. NEVER! And I never would. The selling for profit is the major point of the illegality. Now, I don't know what Melissa's views are on booting, but I know that Indigo Girls have not only allowed, but often encouraged booting of their concerts. HOWEVER, as in the case of Rainy Day Records, when somebody was making money off the boots, they got shut down quick. This statement, while I'm sure there was no harm meant, paints all bootleggers in a bad light. Ninety-nine-point-nine-nine-nine percent of bootleggers do NOT sell them for profit. You swap, or you tape on blanks for somebody. ...... and with regards to the end of the statement, "they are all excellent tapes" well... you must not have seen too many boots. I have so far 58 Indigo Girls boots. Of them, I have a good 10 or 12 that I refuse to copy cuz they're horrible quality.

Here's a verbose opinion. Bootlegs are releases that do not have the authorization of the artist or the label. Usually when people refer to bootlegs they are referring to cds, not tapes, though tapes can also be bootlegs. Technically some bootlegs are supposed to pay royalties to the musician, but I've never heard that any actually do. Most bootlegs you'll see posted about are made from soundboard tapes, shows taped off the radio, audience tapes, or other unofficial "masters." Occasionally you'll hear about another type of bootleg, when an actual album is copied and sold - from which the musician(s) and record company get no royalties. No one is under any illusions about the 2nd type of bootleg. Someone selling you a bootlegged copy of any released album is ripping off the artist. The "concert" type of bootleg is a bit greyer an area. It's illegal (in the US and some other countries), "but"... Some artists don't like bootlegs and ask their fans not to collect them (I've heard that Tori Amos lost a great deal of money when someone bootlegged a live concert album she was going to release legitmately, and she's been severely anti-bootleg since). Some artists don't like cd bootlegs because somone else is making a profit off them, but understand that their fans may want something to suppliment their collection of legitimate albums. These encourage their fans to tape (bootleg) shows and trade the shows among themselves at no profit (The Grateful Dead had a heck of a setup for this, and even allowed certain tapers to make Soundboard tapes for vines and trees*. I'm not positive, but think Phish does this now). Some artists collect bootlegs (I understand that Amy Ray of Indigo Girls used to, but that her attitude towards bootlegging has changed in recent years). Some artists don't state if they collect, but aren't completely adverse to their fans collecting bootlegs. Etheridge is on record saying that the majority of people who buy bootlegs of her shows already own everything she's released legitmately, so she's not really bothered by it. If someone has recently seen evidence she's changed her mind (the thing I saw was a print article several years back), why don't you let the rest of us know? * I know someone's going to ask, and this should head the question off. Vines and trees start out the same. Someone offers a tape to be copied and a list of names is gathered. In trees the trunk is the person with the tape. Branches get copies of the tape from the trunk, or "bigger" branches. Leaves get copies of the tape from branches, but make no copies for anyone else. In a vine one person sends a blank tape and address list to the person with the show, who copies it onto the blank. The tape is then sent to the next person on the list who makes a copy for him/herself and sends it to the next name who makes a copy and so on. 5 or 6 people down on the list is the person who originally sent out the blank tape and address list.

Someone selling you a bootlegged copy of any >released album is ripping off the artist. we should clarify some terms here. in the above paragraph, i'm assuming that amp is talking about "pirated copies" of officially released albums rather than "bootlegs". i think it's confusing to use the term "bootleg" interchangeably to mean both "bootleg" and "piracy". "piracy" is when someone makes copies of an officially released album for profit - - for example, say i had a copy of YLS, and i churned out hundreds of copies of it which i then sold on a street corner. i would be making $ off of YLS, and MLE wouldn't see one red cent of royalties. "bootlegs" are generally live recordings of a concert that haven't been officially released by the artist or his/her label (i.e. "bonsoir montreal"), but they can also be unreleased studio outtakes, demos, or alternative versions (i.e. "being sensitive). IMO, bootlegged unreleased studio outtakes walk an even finer legal line than bootlegged live recordings, because it is safe to assume that some other illegal act was committed (theft) so that the outtakes could be released as bootlegs, i.e. the berlin hotel maid who stole U2's DATs of their "achtung baby" sessions, which were then subsequently released as the bootleg, "salome" (and under various other names). that's not to say that i don't own copies of various artists' studio outtakes, including "salome" and "being sensitive", but that i feel somewhat guilty about doing so. often, you discover that there's a real reason why an artist didn't release that specific version, i.e. they suck! OTOH, many times you get to hear how certain songs develop and change over time. that is why they can be so attractive from a collector's standpoint (and my rationalization for collecting them). why the distinction between the two types of recordings? artists do not receive any royalties from pirated copies of their legitimately released albums. OTOH, while they don't receive royalties from bootlegs either, some artists allow fans to tape their shows openly as long as they only trade copies and do not sell their tapes for profit. >Etheridge is on record saying that the majority of people who buy >bootlegs of her shows already own everything she's released >legitmately, so she's not really bothered by it. If someone has recently >seen evidence she's changed her mind (the thing I saw was a print >article several years back), why don't you let the rest of us know? i can't remember which article/interview i read this, but i recall reading *somewhere* that MLE didn't have a problem with people trading tapes of shows (for the reasons you already mentioned), but she did take issue with those who sell bootlegs for profit. i also recall that she owns a copy or has heard a copy of "bonsoir montreal" and has stated that it's a good quality bootleg (even though it's not the complete montreal show). >In trees the trunk is the person with the tape. Branches get copies >of the tape from the trunk, or "bigger" branches. Leaves get copies >of the tape from branches, but make no copies for anyone else. i wanted to add one thing to your explanation of trees, mainly a caveat for those on the list who are inexperienced with tape trees. assuming a good quality seed tape, the best trees are the ones that result in low generation leaf copies (at most 2-3 generations). depending on the popularity of a particular show or boot, sometimes there can be branches with subbranches, and even sub-subbranches. by the time the tape gets to the lowly leaf (me!), if it ever does, you get a high gen copy which sounds like the show was taped underwater or from the building across the street from the venue. if you really must have a tape from a popular show and can only be a leaf (i.e. you don't have dubbing equipment with which to make copies for others), you have a few choices: you can sign up for a tree and take whatever you get, you can trade later on with someone who has a low gen copy of a show, or you can wait until the show is released as a bootleg. thankfully, almost all of the tape trees on the MLE list (since i've been here) have been of the low gen variety. speaking of tape trees, we haven't done one in quite awhile. does anyone have a good quality copy of a MLE show or boot that they would be willing to tree, assuming that you can administer a tree with low gen leaf copies? *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, 10 Aug 1997 16:13:40 -0400 (EDT) From: NdygoTiggr@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Re: bootlegs, rather NMEC Amp asked me to post this since she didn't know the whole story.

This question was broached to Melissa within the last couple of years on the Information Hotline and she said the same thing as mentioned above. She did say she was not too happy about one of the boots containing demo songs in their formative stage. She must be referring to "Being Sensitive". On one bootleg from a European concert in 1996 she hollers out "This is going to make a great bootleg". On another boot from 1994 she very affectionately fusses at the audience for requesting songs only appearing on bootlegs. Although she receives no revenue from the discs, it must be flattering that so many of her shows have appeared on boots. This legal question of bootlegs may be moot in the not too distant future with the advent of recordable discs via the computer. Whereas in the past CDs had to made in a lab, they can now be made by anyone with a recordable CD. This has already started. I have a boot called "Thunder Road" that was made by a private individual on a recordable CD. There is a fellow that advertises in Goldmine, who will make a CD for you from most any source. I have several tapes I would like to have on CD, I am thinking of giving him a try. Even thought I have a lot of CD boots, I will be first in line to buy the much rumored commercially released live album. 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, 10 Aug 1997 18:03:04 PDT From: "Bonnie Phillips" Subject: *etheridge* boots NdygoTiggr@aol.com wrote: > NEVER!

Been reading with interest the tape tree postings. I have been observing this on the Indigo Girls list for quite some time, yet I have not collected any good IG or MLE boots. :( I run a recording studio, so we make CD copies all the time. Things used to be pretty expensive (i.e. the blank CD's were ridiculously high-priced) Of late, I have seen many recordable CD's going for quite a bit less. So this is good news. A potential problem is the ID numbering on the CD. The machine that burns the CD's needs some sort of digital source (CD or DAT) to be able to give each song an accurate ID #. Even then, there can be some problems due to a thing called digital jitter. The only option to get accurate IDs sometimes becomes duping each song seperately and manually putting in an ID. Which takes a long time. So we have been unable to offer CD's for less than $30-35 in the past. A lot of money, even for a BIG fan. Another issue is that these recordable CD's are "write-once", meaning if you make a teeny error in the ID numbering or anything else, you cannot re-record it, the CD goes in the trash can and you start over. I am not sure if these new, cheaper recordable CD's offer the same reliability as the more expensive, "proven" ones. (Of course, recording studio clients spend a lot of money, so reliability is of the upmost importance.) Also, the verdict is still out, in the audio industry, as to whether the CD's made on a computer are as good as ones made in a studio. This is due to the fact that anytime you make a digital copy (CD) from an intrinsically analog (music) source, you have to go through some analog-to-digital conversions, and the quality of the finished product is dependent on the quality of those converters. Anyhow, my point here is to possibly get some of the good boots on CD. I am aware that some tape traders actually have DAT copies of boots, which would be excellent. (Even a first generation cassette would not sound any better than that cassette after being transferred to CD.) However, it does offer a way to archive this material on a media that will not wear as badly as a cassette, and of course, you have excellent copies from a CD, i.e. no generation loss. ****SO , if any of you have some excellent/good quality boots, and are interested in CD copies, e-mail me privately and maybe we can work out some sort of trade or other reasonable way of accomplishing this. I am interested in having copies of a few of the best boots, and I don't mind putting in the hours at the studio to do it. Sorry for being so windy here!

I was thinking the same thing Rhondda and thought that a compilation of her music videos would be a good thing. Sort of our own version of what IG's did for their fans with their video release. I'll be out there in the Bay REAL soon so maybe we can pull our combined efforts together and get something rolling. I have some decent equipment for dubbing, SueD can attest to this, and would love to get a good quality compilation together for us here on the lest. Any other enthusiasm for this sort of project?

Hmm....quite a few of us were at The Ridge that closing night (me, bec, Tiger Lily & Tasha, Kelli & Mary, and some non-MElisters) and I don't recall seeing anyone who would remotely fit that description! ;) Believe me, I think at least *one* of us would've said something if we thought we'd seen Our Lady of Etheridge there that night! Eh, ladies? Too bad we missed even the Goddess-double....especially if she was a reasonably strong facsimile (which makes me wonder if she was really that much of a look-alike, since we *all* seem to have missed her! ) Can you imagine us thinking we'd actually happened upon the *real* Lady there...in a women's bar in Dallas??

The Ridge is/was a women's bar here in Dallas, and was named after Our Lady of Etheridge. The bar's owner, Sylvia, is a personal friend of Melissa's, and the decor was quite MLE-oriented. The bar's location has always been a women's bar in Dallas, but under different management and names over the years. Part of the reason for high turnover is, IMO, location....as it is quite removed from the main gay district and is not in a good part of town. The Ridge in question actually opened for business under that name and management on November 16, 1996, the night of MLE's Dallas concert on the YLS tour. MEIN was there aplenty that night, and the place was *packed*!! (...lots of merchandise...and Sylvia had giveaways of autographed schtuff too) Indeed, MEIN's Texas Tour folks were there en masses as well, so there were dozens of MElisters there for the big night...the place was rockin'!! Sylvia and the staff of The Ridge even hosted the MEIN Texas Tour group to breakfast the next morning. The barkeeps, Mary and Heather, at The Ridge are a riot! IMO, part of the attraction! When SueD returned for a visit in January, we had a big MElister get-together of Dallasites as well as Lizzard Burns and the well-travelled Jud (in from NZ for the event...)...but we went on a Sunday night and the place was preT-Ty DEAD! When bec came to visit a few weeks ago from TO, we went on a Friday night....and the place was pretty dead then too :| We had a *blast* though....playing pool and having great conversation with Mary the barkeep! It was that night that we learned that the Saturday night the next weekend would be their closing night at that location....with the intent to move the place -- with the same concept and management -- to Oak Lawn where it might have a chance of thriving. Having been there the night it opened, it seemed only fitting to be there the night it closed ;) We rallied a group to go, and sure enough, we had a good group in attendance that night...and the place was jumpin'! They had a great band (the first time I've heard a band cover IG songs)....and it was a rather emotional time for Sylvia and the barkeeps, to say the least. No word as yet on the new location or when it will re-open, but I'll shoot a note when I hear anything. I was a surprised that it's mentioned on MEIN's page...but...kewl!! Wish we *did* have an actual MLE sighting to report!!!

Will this be enough incentive for people >to renew during "dry" years? Well, I for one, have no reason to join MEIN other than to get the tickets. Based on my own personal experience, there really is nothing that MEIN offers that I can't get from this list--with the exception of the *chance* of getting good seats. My experience has been that tickets offered through MEIN are either excellent (first 4 or 5 rows) or they suck (10th row of the upper section of the pavilion at an outdoor amphitheatre, to be exact). I guess that for those fans who have been loyal to MEIN for years, this new structure is a good thing. Seems only fair to reward long-standing members with a new perk (provided those same members were intent upon renewing membership even before the revamping was announced). If I was a MEIN regular (defined as a person who renews membership on a yearly basis, regardless of tour activity or other available informational outlets), I might be inclined to get a little cranky when it came time to purchase tickets and I ended up with mediocre seats due to the influx of new members who joined for nothing other than the sole purpose of purchasing tickets. OTOH, it's such an obvious move to make money (or retain members--however you prefer to look at it), one wonders if there are very many 'regulars' at all. It appears as though this could only be a ploy on the part of MEIN to retain members who 1) join only when MLE is touring--for ticket purposes, or 2) have been dissatisfied with ticket purchasing opportunities and other short-comings of the organization and are not inclined to renew dues.

I really like the song, but the arrangement on the album lacks something, IMHO. So, I was wondering: does anyone know of an alternate version? One with a little more "sound" to it? Also, was it Melissa's intentions to be so musically sparse on this song? I know that sometimes "less is more," but it is a rare and special occasion when that purpose is achieved. (Check out "The Last Song" on Elton John's album "The One.")

Hope you had a blast and I look forward to having you two up this way again, so that I can show you some more of this spectacular place!!!

Last year we were on the east coast, only seems appropriate to do it on the west coast this year, huh??? The only exception is no food poisoning allowed, ok!!! OK now something that has been discussed lately are boots, AND, although, I am the world's absolute worst pen pal, and video copy maker, I do believe that I have one of the better copies of Snow Job' 96 that is probably out there.

God knows I have promised this to people for a long time, Joyce Luck is first on my list of recipients once I get this accomplished. But the point of this is... I would like to make this GOOD COPY of Snow Job '96 my contribution to the tradeable MLE Video Boot, that you folks are talking about putting together. I know that I mentioned this once or twice to John Juan De Moaner, right John??? How are you doing you leather wearing, cookie making, roller coaster rebel??? I miss you!!!

All of you made quite the impression on my at the FF I want to play some more!!!

Something tells me that a *lot* of people feel this way, and MEIN realized that their membership was about to drop to zilch/zippo/nada very shortly, as it's closing in on a full year since MLE's last concerts. I'm certainly not inclined to pay money for a newsletter once or twice a year and the occasional email update. I suppose if I didn't have this list, then maybe ... > If I > was a MEIN regular (defined as a person who renews > membership on a yearly basis, regardless of tour activity or > other available informational outlets), I might be inclined to > get a little cranky when it came time to purchase tickets and > I ended up with mediocre seats due to the influx of new > members who joined for nothing other than the sole purpose > of purchasing tickets. I hadn't quite thought of it from this perspective, and it makes sense. I just wonder if this new structure will *really* result in excellent seats for longtime members; I also wonder how many folks there are who've actually never let their membership lapse between tours. Seems to me that my choices are: renew my MEIN membership for the next couple of years until MLE shows up around here again, and consider the $$ as an investment toward (maybe) great seats at that time; or, save that money and consider that a scalped ticket won't cost much more than a regular ticket + a couple years worth of MEIN fees, and would be a lot more of a "sure thing" in terms of getting a great seat. But, if you do enjoy MEIN's other (non-ticket) benefits, then the prospect of getting "preferred" seating might be enough incentive to keep on renewing. I just thought it was a bit interesting... for me, personally, this probably means that I'm even *less* likely to renew when it does come time for ticket-buying, since I won't really expect to get decent seats after the MEIN "regulars" are taken care of, and would probably be better off taking my chances with Ticketmaster. Seems like this policy is likely to reduce MEIN membership to *only* the "regulars"... but, I never took any marketing classes, so who knows. :-) > jen--who is ecstatic that it *finally* rained in Indiana.

OTOH, since i think that the only thing that MEIN offers that's worth *anything* is the chance to get preferred seating, i believe that the longtimers would know this, too, and would expect that more people would join MEIN as MLE's popularity increased (and, thus, the longtimer's chances for better seats would be diluted by this influx of newbies). but maybe i'm expecting too much from the majority of MEIN members. this is the first time that MEIN has used your seniority as a criteria, right? >The way I see it, it's a money-maker designed as a perk or a >bonus.

[emphasis added] yeah, your seniority may help you, but that's only *one* of the many factors in play. of course, the key words in that sentence from MEIN's update are "in part". from past reports on the list, it looks like it's a crap shoot. i think how lucky you are depends on the promoter in your area, the size of the market you're located in, the venue's policies, etc. my MEIN experience during our YCSWID tour turned out pretty well. the "best" seats we got from MEIN were in the 2nd row floor in spokane (and we were subsequently upgraded to the first row by tim!), and the "worst" ones were in the 22nd row floor in portland. however, at the portland show, poor susan and sue d were stuck in the last row on the floor! and this was back when "[s]eating [wa]s usually within the first 30 rows, and tickets are sold by random lottery, so you might (again, might) end up in the first row; but we can't promise it to you." [i wanna know if anyone *ever* got 1st row seats from MEIN! seems like those only go to radio contest winners ;-) or to those with connections.] during the second leg of the YIA tour in 1995, MEIN members were competing not only with ticketmaster, but with those who bought their tix through VH1's "tickets first" program. i recall many disgruntled post-concert reports of listers getting stuck in the far reaches of the venue. didn't MEIN's policy for preferred seats back in 1995 state that they would be in the first 20 rows (generally)? personally, i'm not going to get too excited/worried about this apparent change right now, at least not until i see something more substantial in writing. not that seeing something in writing from MEIN will make things crystal clear , but we'd have something more to go on. MEIN has changed their definition of "preferred seating" before, and they'll probably do it again. *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 #179 ******************************* From: owner-etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #180 Reply-To: etheridge Sender: owner-etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Errors-To: owner-etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Precedence: bulk etheridge-digest Saturday, August 16 1997 Volume 01 : Number 180 *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #178 [LMYERS2HOU@aol.com] *etheridge* these boots are made for copying.... :) [MEnoSECRET@aol.com] RE: *etheridge* Re: MEIN new policies -Reply ["Deyoung, Susan @ GNPMO" <] *etheridge* Joplin film, among many rock star biopics ["Patti Fink" > That's the only reason I joined MEIN, and I kind of think the idea sucks.

By MICHAEL FLEMING MAYBE it's the Curse of the Rock Stars Who Really Want to Act. Maybe filmmakers are reasoning that if performers look larger-than-life on stage, they'll look really, really big on screen. How else to explain that although musician bio-pics have produced far more bombs than "La Bamba," [<--- interesting choice of examples ] Hollywood is tuning up dozens of them, with top talent lining up to do the lip-syncing? Movies based on popular performers' lives can be expensive, since they almost always require music rights that can reach $1 million (just for one song!) -- which happens to be the fee that will be paid by one of two rivaling Janis Joplin films for "Piece of My Heart," if that project goes forward with Melissa Etheridge starring. (The other has Lili Taylor lined up in the lead.) And the next smash-hit musical-bio will be the first one. Yet deals are in the works covering everything but polka performers. Columbia Pictures is closing an imaginative deal with Yoko Ono for a film about Beatle John Lennon. The "Jerry Maguire" team of Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise are talking a reteam on a bio-pic of legendary music producer Phil Spector. "Maguire" Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. is in talks to play Otis Redding in the Joe Eszterhas-scripted "Blaze of Glory," after the star was courted by "Tin Cup" director Ron Shelton for a bio-pic he's doing about the late reggae star Bob Marley. Director Barry Levinson is talking with Johnny Depp to play Bobby Darin, Drew Barrymore to play Sandra Dee and Bette Midler to play his mother in "Dreamer" for Warner Bros. John Travolta wants to play the Mafia's fave crooner, Jimmy Roselli. And in what's shaping up as a major rights fight, Allen and Albert Hughes, who directed "Dead Presidents," want to do a picture about dead rock legend Jimi Hendrix. Eszterhas is also courting Hendrix's father, Al, who emerged from a purple haze of lawsuits with rights to his son's music and life story. Even the campy Village People will be the subject of a film written and directed by Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander, the team behind bio-pics "Ed Wood" and "The People vs. Larry Flynt." WHY the musical stampede? "You've always got an easier route to making a movie if your subject matter has brand-name appeal," says Peter Newman, producer of one of two Janis Joplin bio-pics. His is being directed by Nancy Savoca ("True Love") and is expected to star Joplin look-alike Lili Taylor, who'll lip-sync actual recordings from the gravelly voiced songstress. "The films that haven't made money were too expensive," Newman continues. "To make a movie about The Doors for $40 million to $50 million doesn't make any sense. But a $20 million pic about Janis could hit the way "Selena" and "What's Love Got to Do With It" did," he says. Another reason the films are so prevalent is the age of the filmmakers, adds Ben Myron, who is producing the Redding pic and one about Sam Phillips, the Sun Records owner who discovered Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison. "I wanted to do Otis Redding and Phillips because they meant so much to me as a kid," Myron explains. "You notice there are no Gen-Xers doing Otis films. Most of these are coming from people in their 40s." - ----------------------- ****************************************************************** * 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, 15 Aug 1997 21:03:59 +0200 From: Satsanga Subject: *etheridge* A European point of view about MEIN Hi all, Being a Dutch MEIN-member, i would like to point out some things.

When they opened an office in the UK, i thought it was a step in the right direction, but nothing comes from there. Even the merchandise i order at the UK office, is shipped from the US, something i really don't understand. Why order in the UK in British Pounds what is shipped in the US?!

Comments It would figure that the bootleg/live tape conversation *would* go on while I was on vacation. It figures! Anyway, It's good to see that most people have the right perspective. But Again, I must implore: MLE: Please get on the bandwagon, and allow live tapes to be legally made for NON-COMMERCIAL, HOME-USE Only. Your performances are great, and they should be shared. Take the lessons of the Grateful Dead to heart. EVEN THOUGH THEY ALLOWED NON-COMMERCIAL, HOME USE RECORDING, the contents of "The Vault" are still priceless. There's a group, TABS (Traders Against Bootleg Sales) that's promoting this... I'll buy an extra ticket just for the mic stand. (I do regularly for such acts as Dave Matthews Band, Metallica, The Allman Brothers Band, and any other act which will allow me to bring it.) ALSO: Do the IG allow open taping?

How about a "Women's Music" cruise?

There are a women's music company that has expanded into women's travel as well and they run cruises for lesbians and use the whole boat. One of the nice benefits of their cruises is that the use their recording artists(eg Tret Fure, Kris Williamson etc) as the headline entertainment.

There are supposed to send newsletters and I got one when I joined and one around Christmas and that was it. I still haven't received any since Christmas. When I saw this ticket thing I started to think about renewing, but I probably won't because I don't seem to be getting anything else out of it. I am going to wait and see how much they really do to upgrade their site like they said they would. If they and more good stuff (especially in the members access area)like more sound files and pictures, I might reconsider.

Yes, it does. The letter says that the more you spend the better your status for preferred seating. I sent them a letter back and asked if they were going to count the $750 I spent on merchandise from them last year in my preferred status. Of course I never received a response one way or the other.

Seemed to me by the email that if you let the membership lapse and then joined again later you do not retain your original date. I might know the answer to that also if they would ever answer their emails. The only time I ever recieved an answer back from them for any email was when I was asking about merchandise I was planning on purchasing. It seems to me that they don't care about ME or her fans, just the money they can make off of them.

At this point I'm a member until Nov. of this year, and am still considering whether to renew or not. Either way, I've always believed they needed to revamp their ticket policy. I've never been closer than 20 rows back with MEIN tickets. I understand that we all can't be in the front row, but I got my best seats ever after camping out for tickets at the box office. 2nd row center, which we promptly made front row center as soon as the show started! They would have to guarentee better than 20th row as incentive for me to renew my membership. And what is this restructured membership? My newsletters come so few and far between, I haven't heard of this except for here. Those of us who have been members for years now have to spend more to get the same "privlidges*(sp)" we've had all along? Can't say I agree w/ that! One more point about MEIN.....as Vicki pointed out.....they're customer service leaves alot to be desired. I've had similar experiences w/ trying to just get answers to some questions, via e-mail, snail-mail or telephone! Seems they only want to help when you're trying to spend $$$. Although I do understand that they are not a non-profit org., they do seem to leave a greedy impression on people. Fan clubs should not be in it just for the $$......I thought the fans were what was important. (or is this another one of those life lessons I got all wrong???) Well, I guess that's more than my .02 cents worth! For now, I'm still considering the membership thang.....we'll see. I wonder if Missy knows so many of her fans complain about her fan club?

Please pardon my ignorance for any newbie goofs. :-} Just wanted to tell you all I've enjoyed reading your comments/thoughts etc and the info. It's very cool knowing there are others out there who share in my enthusiasm/adoration/admiration etc. for ME. I recently graduated from college, and still work there- but not for much longer. So I've started that wonderful job search- which I hate because there is so many things I want to do I don't know where to start. UGH... ANYWAY- I'm from Iowa-born and raised. Yep, I'm a farm girl. Yep, we have indoor plumbing. Yep, we have cable, and no, we don't grow potatoes. :) (growing up on a farm you tend to develop a sense of humor) Any other Iowans out there? Midwesterners? okay, so that tells you virtually nothing about me- but a little to get the imagination going??!! Does anyone else make up the backgrounds etc. for those you haven't met? Maybe it's just the writer in me...fuel for the fire. :) babble babble... To make this a little relevant- I saw Melissa in concert last October and Yes, she was absolutely incredible. Yes, she played way over 2 1/2 hours. Yes, the place rocked etc. etc. But what struck me was...??...the atmosphere. I can't even describe it. I read Joyce Luck's book and it said something in it about looking out into the audience of a ME concert and you'll see what diversity is. Was that it? I think so. I saw. I was a part of it and I loved it. I think for the first time I really understood that for all the differences between us- we're all connected, one way or another. So much for my diversity training...one concert in one night had a bigger/better impact on me than hours upon hours of "training." ughhhhhhhhhhh :) Well, before I get way too cheesy... Peace and happiness y'all- and KEEP IT PRECIOUS Strange Fire in Iowa ****************************************************************** * 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, 19 Aug 1997 11:42:38 -0500 From: Jenniffer Smith Subject: *etheridge* Guidelines Location and Other Stuff Hi, all-- I've noticed a few new folks have come into the fold recently, and since I'm fairly busy (what's new?)

Thank you to whoever posted the above. As much as I have followed Melissa's career I never realized what an important roll her music played in this movie. I had never seen it before and I can't say I "enjoyed" the movie because it was a rough story, but Melissa's songs really added to the drama. Two little bits of trivia that I noticed. Dermot Mulroney had a small part. He also plays the cello on "Place Your Hand" from Never Enough and Marc Rocco directed the film. Isn't he the follow that was to direct Melissa's Janis movie? I watched Fleetwood Mac on MTV the other night and it was like watching old friends that had been missing for awhile. I saw them in Cincinnati in 1979 at the beginning of the Tusk tour and then saw them again in Mobile in 1980 at the end of the tour. Lindsey Buckingham can sure play that guitar!! John McVie always looked kind of grizzled, but everyone else looked terrific. Has everyone tried out the new chat room at the MEIN site? I had never participated in a chat before and found it really easy to use. Hope to see some of you there. I hope I don't sound too pious, but I joined MEIN to show support for Melissa. The only problem I ever had with Customer Service was when I renewed last year, the fellow managed to extent my membership two years instead of one. The renewal got mixed up with a backorder and was done twice. Well, I guess I won't have to worry about it for awhile :-). 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/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #184 ******************************* Date: Thu, 21 Aug 1997 06:54:44 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #185 Reply-To: etheridge@esosoft.com Sender: owner-etheridge-digest@esosoft.com etheridge-digest Thursday, August 21 1997 Volume 01 : Number 185 *etheridge* European situation [Tan Peters ] *etheridge* MEIN membership and the live CD [eburns@scci-ad.com (Elizabet] Re: *etheridge* Teresa's Tatoo [ThundrRdBk@aol.com] *etheridge* Re: Video's [ThundrRdBk@aol.com] *etheridge* MLE to host benefit performance of play in LA ["Rhondda L.

I didn't get front row, but i did end up with 2nd row seats for the first leg of the YIA tour - when she played in San Antonio. And if i remember correctly, we were just left of center stage (as you're sitting looking at the stage). What about other "older" MEIN'ers? Did you get better seats for her earlier tours? Or was YIA the first tour where these preferred tickets were available? I know for the YLS tour, i ended up with about 10th row seats, but off in the right section. It wasn't too bad....could've been better, could've been worse. Someone commented last week, i think, about skipping the MEIN renewal and taking chances on getting better tickets through ticketmaster (or whoever ends up selling tickets for future tours) because she has had good luck doing that in the past. But will that work for ME, considering they ususally hold out on the first 20 rows and they aren't generally available for sale when tickets first go on sale to the public. I remember buying tickets for the Never Enough tour and even tho i was first in line, i ended up with 21st row, center seats. when i asked why, i was told they first 20 rows were not available to the general public at this time. (Hmmm, i guess this answers my ealier question. I would assume that this meant that the tickets were held back for MEIN people.) So what's the point of standing in line for concert tickets if MEIN will continue to hold the first 20 rows for members? Seems to me that you should still be able to get better seats through MEIN...or maybe even a scalper, providing you can afford to go that route. And about the possibility of the ME live CD, i ask this...the last rumor i heard was that the live CD was going to be from one of her final shows from the YLS tour. If this is indeed true, will those of you who didn't like the YLS CD still buy the CD, knowing that all of YLS will be included? I know i'm torn by this because i like her music but i did not like YLS and don't really want to spend the money to purchase what will basically be a live version of YLS plus a few other songs. Just wondering.... lizzard ****************************************************************** * 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, 20 Aug 1997 12:05:44 -0400 (EDT) From: ThundrRdBk@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* Teresa's Tatoo Hey list members: I know it's not 5 bucks but I can get you "Theresa's Tattoo" for $19.95 plus $3.00 shipping!

Observations on 10 Years in Hollywood...With Bongos' Starring Maxine Lapiduss Set to Premiere at the Globe Playhouse in West Hollywood September 27 - November 1, 1997 Melissa Etheridge, David Hyde Pierce and Kathy Najimy to Host Opening Performance in Benefit of Aviva Center LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxine Lapiduss, one of television's most notable writer-producers and currently the Consulting Producer on the hit television series Ellen, brings her unique perspective on life in LA to the stage in "SITUATION TRAGEDY ... Observations on 10 Years in Hollywood ... with Bongos" set to premiere at the The Globe Playhouse in West Hollywood, California September 27, 1997. In what promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience, this full scale musical revue showcases Lapiduss' seasoned comedy and vocal abilities through her hilarious takes on the television industry and the daily grind of living in Hollywood amidst plastic surgery, low-speed car chases and celebrity auctions. "SITUATION TRAGEDY ..." complete with dancing boys and a six-piece all-girl band, has been shaped by Lapiduss' experiences; as a starry-eyed kid growing up in front of the television set, to later performing in comedy clubs throughout the country. It also marks her return to the stage. Having enjoyed a successful career as a stand-up comedienne and singer in landmark clubs throughout the country, as well as on television and in films, Lapiduss turned her focus to television writing and producing after re- locating from New York to Los Angeles in 1987. She then worked her way up from Story Editor to Executive Producer on such hit shows as "Dear John", "The Tracy Ullman Show", "Home Improvement", "The Jeff Foxworthy Show" and "Roseanne". Joining Ellen for the 1997/98 season, she is the only gay member of the writing-producing team. "SITUATION TRAGEDY ..." has been written by Lapiduss with her former writing partner (and current sister) Sally Lapiduss, also one of Hollywood's most prolific comedy writers and producers whose most recent television assignment was serving as Consulting Producer on "Caroline in the City". "SITUATION TRAGEDY ..." truly encompasses Maxine Lapiduss as the writer, the entertainer, the gay woman and the executive -- in a send-up of the very industry in which she was destined to succeed. It is produced by Jill Frank and directed by Maxine Lapiduss with Musical Direction by Allison Cornell. "SITUATION TRAGEDY ... Observations on 10 Years in Hollywood ... with Bongos" will preview Thursday, September 25 and Friday, September 26, 1997 at 8:00 p.m. All preview tickets are priced at $15.00. The premiere performance Saturday, September 27, 1997 at 8:00 p.m. will be hosted by Grammy Award winning recording artist Melissa Etheridge, David Hyde Pierce, co-star of the NBC series "Frasier", and Kathy Najimy co-star of the hit motion picture "Sister Act" and current co-star of the new NBC fall series "Veronica's Closet". The evening will benefit The Aviva Center, a Los Angeles based non-profit organization devoted to residential treatment for abused and abandoned teenage girls. "Since becoming involved with the Aviva Center," says Lapiduss, "I've seen what an amazing effect it's had in many young girls' lives." The Aviva Center also offers on site schooling; activities; and individual, family and group therapy. All tickets for this performance are priced at $50.00. Performances following previews and the show's opening will take place each Thursday and Friday evening at 8:00 p.m. with two shows on Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. through November l, 1997. Tickets for each regularly scheduled performance are priced at $20.00. The Globe Playhouse is located at 1107 North Kings Road in West Hollywood, two blocks west of Sweetzer Avenue, just north of Santa Monica Boulevard. For further information, reservations and/or inquiries regarding group rates, student and senior discounts, call SHOWTIXX at (888) 566-TIXX (8499). For further information regarding services of the Aviva Center, call (213) 876-0550.

LIAS) Subject: *etheridge* Resist Hello everyone, I want to first of all thank those of you that responded for my request on the meaning of "The Late September Dogs." "Talking" through the song , line by line, with many of you gave a certain clarity to the song that I've not seen before. I'm amazed by the different levels of meaning that can be garnered from just one of Melissa's songs. Since we don't have any NEW songs to thrash around, I've gone back and looked at the lyrics of some of her "less mentioned" songs. "Resist" from YIA is one that just seems to sit there on the latter tracks and is somewhat obscured by all the hits from that album. So, is any one up to putting on their thinking caps and having a go at it?

It's obvious that Melissa has less fans in Europe, but there is definitely a group of 'hard core' MLE fans, who are fan from day 1 (like me ;-). It's known that the largest group of fans comes from The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Therefore Melissa's shows in the countries are kind of an 'international' happening; we just drive for a few hours, cross some borders and then "hey, didn't i see you ...?" :) IMO the European MEIN-members deserve more than what they get now. >maybe they haven't worked out the kinks yet in figuring out how to offer >tickets to fan club members? Of course it's not up to me to tell someone how to do their job or whatever, but i still think it must be possible for MEIN to figure something out. I mean, *why* did they open an office in the UK? That's still not clear to me. The first thing that came to mind, when i read about it, was that it was MEIN's intention to offer tickets to European members! I have asked MEIN the same question, i hope they can shed some light on this. >and since i'm seriously considering taking in a few european concerts >next year, i'm hoping that MEIN-Europe *will* offer tickets to US fan club >members. And i thought MLE touring next year was just a rumor?? >i guess instead of the "You Can Sleep While I Drive" tour, next time it'll be >"You Can Sleep While I Eurorail". LOL!

Right now, i am working on a plan, together with another Melissa/Xena fan, to make a video where scenes from XWP are mixed with songs from Melissa. (if you don't know Xena, then you probably don't know what the heck i'm talking about, but endulge me..)

"You brought me to trust you brought me to tears in one tender touch the pain disappears i have been to the sword seen it come seen it die as we enter the dark i beseech you to try..." - - Another version of "Ties that bind": Xena finds out Gabrielle is gone. Gabrielle thought it was for the best to leave Xena so her father could have a place in her life. "I will never be the same" playing: "So you walked with me for a while bared your naked soul and you told me of your plan how you would never let them know In the morning of the night you cried a long lost child and i tried oh i tried to hold you but you were young and you were wild" Gabrielle is thinking about Xena too: "Secrets of your life i never wanted for myself but you guarded them like a lie placed upon the highest shelf In the morning of the night when i woke to find you gone i knew your distant devil must be draggin' you along" - - Finally, Xena decides to tell Gabrielle the truth (subtext!): "I will stand firm in the tempest i will ride destiny's trail to believe when the truth comes up empty to hold and respect without fail Come and be one in the motion a desire they cannot comprehend never to question again for i am your passion your promise your end Oh yes I am...."

Sadder yet when you know not when the final good-bye will come. Levi is a precious man. A dober puppy and walker in the woods with me for 11 years now. I held him in my paws as he was only three weeks old when first he came into my heart. With bright and shiny eyes he wiggled and asked to go home with me. He is my special child. His momma was sick and he needed a home early so he came to live in the heart of a bear who adores him and loves him so. Tues. he looked in my eyes and told me something was not right so we went to see Dr. Dave whom has been his Dr. since he was a baby. Dr. Dave listened to his heart and then slowly sat down and had tears in his eyes as he said it is his heart and he will not make it till Thanksgiving. The sound a a breaking heart is the cruelest sound I know. It was at the time when I was my lowest walking my main man out to the car that I reached into my back pocket and pulled out my Melissa bandana to wipe my face and I felt the weakness in me yet knew her strength was there for me and in my sadness she appeared and said "Be Strong" With my face in my hands I wept as she dried the tears that were streaming down my face. I know how precious this list is and all of you are each a gem to be amazed by. Thank you for all your kind words and love. Thank you for thinking of this ole bear and Levi we are and always will be grateful for your warmth. In my silence I feel your fires and I draw close.

When Melissa played Dublin in Feb. 96 I have the photos to die for even in the absence of MEIN help so I can't really complain.

Instead I came home to my girlfriend and she made me feel better. She's real supportive in what I do (I work at a Morning Newspaper) We went to a movie Friday that got my mind off of things, yesterday we went for a hike with friends in a beautiful canyon and today I've been listening to Melissa, and catching up on the LIST. I've got to go back to work tomorrow - and I will. These work things have a way of blowing over but THANKS. I appreciate having the list to also help me through. Pooh, I also have a "Levi" in my life that means the world to me. Hang in there. My "Levi" isn't sick but she was a while ago. She got better and she's still around to get scared of these bad storms we have here in Arizona. I never watched Xena but love the song interpretation. (I think Sats did that). It amazes me how Melissa's fans have so much in common.

Some fool is using the symbol of another mailinglist just for fun. This angel stands for kindness, helping each other and more beautiful thoughts. It is not meant for using everywhere. It's the symbol of the Jewel-mailinglist and the everyday angels (EDA's) over there. I'm sorry Angela. It's not done to copy a symbol and use it elsewhere at a place you think nobody saw it before. If you didn't copy it I withdraw my comments but hope you will do research a bit next time figuring out if someone else is using it. This symbol can be found on so many internet-sites that I doubt you wouldn't find it. How would you feel if someone is using the key-symbol of Mel at another list? A lot of us wouldn't like that at all. Sorry I'm a little burned and I will try to keep it cool next time but it is just that little bit in me that decided to react.

It struck me lately that it's really been a long time in the desert without significant news (but nonetheless, excellent sluthing) from Our Lady Etheridge. Pretty darned observant of me isn't it! So, after a rather long lurking mode myself..I hope you don't mind..I've just got to stand up and say something loudly...... "I...I want to testify..my love still lives and breathes!!!" I have to say it because I don't sing worth beans and the neighbors might start throwing dangerous objects through my window! My soul isn't screaming "why" though, I know and understand and honor the whys of it all. But, I love her. She's my favorite artist. She's the only one who no matter how many tapes are warn out through my little red truck's cassette player..her voice never wears out my ears. Her words constantly convey different meanings. She carries me through the best and worst times in life. I love driving down the street with Melissa cranked on my cheap little stereo and watching other fans notice her voice as I'm stopped, and wave. I love the rasp in her voice..and those emotion filled screams that I'm sure are tearing her vocal chords to pieces, but she can't help it. I love 2001, because it reminds me she's human..you know. You know what else I love..is hearing your stories and reading about your passion for Ms. Etheridge. I know, nothing new is happening, but how about a new/old thread? Is anybody else's love still alive?

A lot of us wouldn't like that at all. I've seen at least two people use MLE's symbol in their sig files (although I'm not a big proponent of ascii art in email because I can rarely figure out what it is due to configuration differences). I don't think that anyone on this list thinks twice about seeing a fan use that symbol. Perhaps, if Angela did indeed intentionally copy the Jewel angel, she's using it as an identifier of sorts...her way of spreading the message that the angel stands for. Is there really any difference between using the symbol and quoting line's from the artist's music? jen - ---- Don't mind my driving...I'm reloading. ****************************************************************** * 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, 27 Aug 1997 08:17:33 -0500 From: Kim Dray Subject: *etheridge* Amen, Pooh!!

Well, I've been silent partly because I don't really know what we're talking about at all. If the question is just whether MEIN should offer a central ticket sale for all shows, so that fans wouldn't have to bother about getting them for each venue separately: Sure, good idea, should be within their possibilities to organize it - so, much to discuss about that? Or are we talking about something like better seats for members, like in America? I don't quite see what a European equivalent of that could be, though: After all, tickets here are all equal and don't tell you where precisely to stand or sit, at least not at any concert I've been to so far. So, what exactly is the topic?

Excited to start a new life with great friends(BAB) and sad to leave those I have grown close to hear on the East coast. What ever will I do with out SueD by my side? To those out in the heartland that I have met/befriended/loved please remember, Life is a journey - enjoy your ride. John Juan Demiller will be kept informed of my where abouts while I am traveling and signed off the list so if you need to reach me he would be the best source of contact for me.

Being a Kansas girl myself, I can really relate to alot of her trials and tribs she had growing up in a small town. I commend her for all her successes! But, I must tell you, she was my little secret for 10 years before the rest of the world found out about her so I have to admit I've been a little jealous. I'm sure many of you can relate to that, right?? If there's anyone who hasn't yet read this book, you wont be disappointed. I just started reading "The Only One" by Chris Nickson. I dont think its as good as the other but its a matter of preference. Also, I've recently added Teresa's Tattoo to my collection. (Sorry folks, it was the last one on the shelf!) It is ...well,....um.... interesting...... :-) Anyway, I'm babbling now, so I have to wrap this up! From where I'm from it's hard to get any info about civilized life, especially MLE info, so I'm sending a heartfelt thanks to this list and all the great people on it! I wouldn't know any of our priviledged info if it wasnt for you. Keep It Precious... Peace, kd p.s. Oh yeah, I almost forgot... Does any one know how I can get my hands on a copy of "Being Sensitive" or VH-1 "Melissa Etheridge & Friends"? I'll send tape, pay all costs, etc. Mail me privately if you want.

If you ever want to die, ask Liz to show you some of the local highlights in Austin, but be sure that she takes you out when the sun is at its peak and the humididty is up around a hundred percent. Then make sure that she makes you laugh real hard so that the sweat pours down your face so bad that your sun glasses fall off your nose. And then stop at the natural springs, but only on the days that they are closed to the public for swimming. So, as a consolation, Liz can buy you a root beer float with no lid, you can walk around some more outside so the ice cream can melt, then you can hop in the car and go home. Be sure to be sipping your sticky root beer float at the red light so when it turns green and Liz puts the z in gear you can cool your front down with whatever root beer and ice cream may be left in your cup. It is the perfect way to cool down in Texas. Really had an amazing time with Liz and Mich, (the best fajita maker in the world), and then Friday I headed down to San Antonio. I was blessed by a visit of the three topless wonder women Saturday night, Patti, Liz & Mich arrived topless and I too went topless and we headed out to dinner. Speaking of super heroes, Lizzard, what did I call you Saturday night??? I can't remember what Super Hero you became. And I also can't remember the last time that I laughed as hard as I did that night. Went to my first Target Store, I found this very exciting, and the four of us topless chics came back to my hotel room. We once again sat around and laughed our heards off, but the sad thing is, we didn't have Sue D. there taking notes of the things that we said, so, sad as it may be you will never know the really stupid things that went on that night. But to summarize my whole adventure, I once again had a great time in Texas, Liz, Patti, and Mich you are awesome, please know that whenever, if ever you are in my neck of the woods, you are welcome to stay here as long as you want. Patti, I'm sorry that you got stuck in a meeting on Wednesday and we couldn't hook up at DFW, but next time I'm through we'll do a liquid lunch. Sorry I didn't call from the airport, but I packed in such haste that morning I couldn't find your work number. That's all for now just a quick note though, I'll be in L.A. in October, and perhaps I can be persuaded to take a little side trip to the Bay Area, I know that wonderful Shirl the Bat Girl should be there by then and no trip to the Bay would be complete without hooking up with the BAB. So nothing definate except L.A. for right now, but I'll keep you posted.

Well, it's small consolation if MLE does not show up, but Lapiduss just might make the evening worthwhile. I saw her do stand-up years ago in NY. She's a hoot and very friendly. After her set, she joined a table of her friends but happily, albeit briefly, chatted with me and my group of friends. I'm always happy for her when I see her name somewhere. BTW, appearing with Lapiduss one night was Phoebe LeGere (sp?). Anybody ever heard of her? She's a piano/accordion playing singer/comedian. She also was friendly and down to earth after the show. She made an appearance on The Tonight Show years ago and that was the last I ever heard of her.

I too know the absolute ecstasy that love found on-line can bring! Being in a relationship that began on-line New Years Eve '95, I can identify and understand the wonderful warm feelings of being surrounded by love Pooh expressed! I was also so fortunate to meet both Pooh and Ms. Jones briefly when the summer began, and I can "testify" that both their hearts are where they belong..together. So often when the frustration of a long distance relationship gets to be to much, I find comfort in Melissa's rythm and words..and also in the knowledge that we are not alone. It takes a whole lot of courage to express those deep feelings for the whole world to see, and for that I applaude you both! So lets all raise our glasses and celebrate! I hope Melissa knows that her presence in our lives is responsible for so much...including bringing together hearts that were once searching. Hang onto the love you have. As imperfect as it may seem at times, think of the "haves" and not the "have nots" and know that with time, patience..and Melissa ofcourse, we will all have the lives we not only dream of, but will make come true. I am so happy for you!
