Hi there, I think that's a real shame that some states have laws in place that restrict citizens their right to adopt, cause of their sexual preference. I'm not homosexual, but I believe in rights for everyone. Think we should all open our eyes, and stop judgiing people for not conforming to the so called norm. I'm sorry for jiumping on my soap box, but I think these so called law-makers get a life, and stop dictating policy; and remember who the voters are.

It reminded me of an ex of mine that though old in age was very young mind wise and because of not letting people know who he really was (gay) he lived a double life and his family believed. He kept his life with me a complete secret for a couple of years and then because of his inability to cope with it we had to end it and that is what this song reminds me of how I loved so much but because of someones life being a lie I had to change and I guess now I will never be the same. "How you told me of your plan, how you would never let them know" Keep the faith...PEACE ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 2 Dec 1997 07:04:09 +0000 From: vq2n63110@navsta-rota.navy.mil (VQ2N63110) Subject: *etheridge* Song o' the week I have a similar story about IWNBTS. My senior year, I met the greatest guy. We spent every waking moment (and a few nonwaking ones, as well) together. He was my best friend, and my boyfriend and just everything. He applied to some schools for a swimming scholarship, and got one...in New Jersey.(We lived in Florida). I told him that I was really happy and excited for him, and I was, but part of me kept wishing that he wouldn't take it. He did, and he stayed for the summer, and we spent all of our time together. Then he left, and we kept in touch for awhile. Mostly I kept in touch with him. He had moved on, and started his new life and there wasn't any room for me. It took me a very long time to get over the whole thing. I used to listen to IWNBTS a lot. I loved it the first time I heard it on WHRC, and then it suddenly fit. Take care all.

The PPV concert is $19.95 and 2.5 hours long. This leads me to believe that there might be a commercial CD or video release in the not-too-distant future. Also, for those of you who can receive a Canadian CBC affiliate station, they're going to be broadcasting a one-hour version of this special on Friday (I only know for sure that CBUT-Vancouver will be broadcasting it at 9:00 p.m. PST -- check your local listings).

In a message dated 97-12-03 07:28:19 EST, you write: << I was always mystified by the line "caught in your eyes, lost in your name." >> One thing you have to remember about this song is that it was written for the film, "Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael." As well as I can remember, the movie centers on a character played by Winona Ryder whose mother (Roxy Carmichael) pretty much hit the trail and hasn't been around in a long time (I can't remember how old the child was supposed to be when the mother left). I believe the mother had a bit of a rep-u-tay-shun, too. So the "lost in your name" reference also has implications for a mother and child.

And when the warmth touched our hearts we were all once again waiting for what might be coming and knowing it would touch us one and all. One could imagine sleigh rides in the fresh fallen snow and peace throughout the land being a real possibility. Voices joined together hearts singing a song of joy and music united us one and all. On a cold December night peace came to earth in the chords of a song and the singer blessed us one and all. I am grateful for gifts shared I am in awe of simple pleasures from the heart. pooh ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 3 Dec 1997 21:46:35 30 From: "Pooh" Subject: *etheridge* " It's A Girl " She is not a very good typer yet but she does sleep in my lap as I try to be one.

Very interesting indeed (and trust Rhondda to unearth something like this)! My guess is that www.melissaetheridge.com will be used as an alias for the MEIN site, because I dunno about anyone else, but I can never remember the dang URL for that site. I've noticed that a lot of entertainers' pages, and other commercial pages, follow this format (for instance indigogirls.com, which is Sony's Indigo Girls site, and michellemalone.com), so that silly people with nothing better to do than sit around plugging in names to see what works as a URL will happen across the site. Bet they didn't count on silly people with nothing better to do than sit around plugging in domain names on interNIC's site. ;-) The other possibility, of course, is that there'll be a Leopold-run website separate from MEIN's site... wonder if they'll get their news from MEIN, which gets so much of it from *ahem* mailing list that shall not be named *ahem*?

For one, I am not particularly thrilled with MEIN, but that's a personal thing. . . my true reason for thinking not is because using that URL to shadow/mirror/alias the MEIN site is a matter of three minutes worth of HTML. Why on earth wouldn't they do it as soon as they got the URL pinned down? It wouldn't be difficult enough to warrant waiting on.

Here it goes. "I will never be the same" is very special to me. (I hope you can follow me) Just when I thought my world was closing in on me a wonderful women came into my life. We had worked together for about a year so I guess you could say we were friends. Anyway she was going through a break up after 3 years. and well with me it was a new guy every week. Neither of us had a life so we started hanging together for something to do. I knew she was gay but she was a friend so it didn't matter. I wasn't the one she was interested in . Every now and then she would make a comment about not nocking it till you tried it. I always said that when I was ready I would let her know. My family had all moved to Oklohoma so I was all alone. I thought that if I followed maybe my life would get better. Just one problem I promised my friend that I would go to a concert with her so she didn't have to go alone. I didn't even like this person but because I promised I was going. To get me ready she made me some tapes of none other than Missy herself. I thougt I was ready but was I ever wrong. After that show I knew I'd never be the same. Well to my suprise my friend got another set of tickets to see her again. I had the time of my life and i was with the one person who loved me for me. Needless to say I was head over heels in love with this Lesbian. What am I going to do. I did what I thought was best I packed and moved. On the way to OK . I put in one of the tapes and "I will never be the same" came on. I knew than and there that I was making a mistake. I stayed 3 weeks called her on the phone and told her I wanted to come home. She was on a plane the next day and we were home with in the week. Now home is where ever she is. I will never be the same so to Melissa i am forever greatful, she helped me find happiness. Well gang I hope I didn't bore you too much:) K I P Gina . ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 5 Dec 1997 00:47:28 EST From: MReeves74 Subject: *etheridge* what a find today!!!

Hey Virginia :) Welcome to the list, I am faily new here myself, so I really don't know the specifics. Funny how you mentioned seeing Melissa in Montreal, and Essex, cause I was there in Essex to see her. Never saw her here in Montreal, but I drove all the way to Essex frome work to go see her perform and as you know it was worth it. She performed in a football field, and what a show it was! We arrived late, and standing at the bottom of the stands, but I was in such a hurry to get my seat, and so we scurried up. About 10 minutes after we reached our seats, the house lights went off, and when they came back on Melissa was standing right where we were just standing! Aaarrrggghhh! Melissa made it special though, especially when she looked up at the small crowd of us in the top bleachers and waved at us. I live in Montreal, actually off the island near the Malone or Chateauguay border, are you really that close to Montreal? Anyways that's all she wrote for now, but glad to hear you have become a member. Keep in touch! And to all you MElisters, keep up the great job of keeping us not so up-to-date fans wanting more.

YOu know what, after the Oprah Interview with Ellen and Anne on there, I really thought it would not last. The reason I say this is because Anne told everyone she was not gay, that she was attracted to Ellens soul. I saw Ellen across the room and I wanted to be with her. It was like souls meeting each other. She told Oprah she was not born that way. So this is why i thought it would not last this long, I was so confuse, because I was born this way. If I ever married a man now, I would be committing a Huge Sin. This is just how much I love being with My Pauline, I truly know she is my soulmate, and us being together was meant to be.

She was wearing striped pajama looking pants,she seemed so little.Anyway we got in the back of line so we could gawk the longest.My gf at the time got to her before me and I watched them talk and then they both turned and LOOKED at me and smiled!!! Here Deb told Melissa she met me through the fanclub-and Melissa said that's sweet.Now it's my turn I'm wearing a Melissa bootleg shirt I bought at the Philly show a couple nights before and this is the only ME item with me for her to sign,I said can you sign my shirt and she said"Sure I'll sign your BOOTLEG shirt" and laughed, I said "Oh come on I had to buy it,it's a great photo of you" Then I told her I met alot of great friends through her fanclub and she said that's great or something to that effect.ADDED BONUS she had to touch my arm to sign the sleeve on my bootleg shirt! Well I hope you enjoyed that story-we needed a Melissa moment.

This calendar has certain career highlights of Melissa marked. I like this new touch, but I have a couple of trivia questions. First, wasn't Melissa VH1's Artist of the Month for April, 1996? I'm sure I remember skipping work and school to try to catch glimpses of her on the tube. Second, didn't YLS (US) come out on November 14, 1995? I remember being excited that Melissa was releasing her new album on my birthday, and I *know* when my birthday is. Now for a little Charlie Brown Christmastime attitude: does anyone else feel like MEIN is going a bit overboard with being commercial? I like having MLE things, obviously, but it seems to be going quite far. I guess I can basically just order my own autographed guitar now. Heck, maybe soon they will auction off an evening with Melissa. Wouldn't that bring a lot of bidders? Is it true that money defines a person? Or a fan? I guess so. And that's too bad, because it changes the whole interaction between the artist and fans, and among the fans themselves. I like the interaction between an artist and her/his fans, not that of an icon and his/her worshippers. I hope this never happens here. Sharon, wondering if she has been listening to the Indigo Girls too much recently :) ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 08 Dec 1994 15:34:11 -0600 From: Kyla Gray Subject: Re: *etheridge* MEIN calendar, etc. At 01:36 PM 08/12/97 EDT, you wrote: > > > Now for a little Charlie Brown Christmastime attitude: does anyone > else feel like MEIN is going a bit overboard with being commercial?

MLE is very unique and special, but what makes her that way is her 'down to earth' human kindness. Yes MLE is a star, but that is because she is so personal with her fans...MLE is a TRUE musician who does it for the love of doing it and for the gratefullness of her fans. Maybe i don't want to believe that money rules and her fans just drule, but that's because MLE is all i really have to believe in these days. I am a singer, song-writer, composer and guitarist myself, and my most important goal in life is to become a TRUE musician myself. First there was Janis Joplin, then Melissa Lou Etheridge, and now there will be Kyla Lynn Gray ! I just don't see how ANY artist can survive without their fans? And i really hope we (MElisters&fans) don't find out from MLE either. Well i guess i'mm gonna close, but before i do...There are Never Enough Brave & Crazy fans out there, Speak True, and keep smilling, it's good for you:) Love Ya!

Do I keep your starving soul satisfied? Does your heart skip a beat everytime? Chorus No you're not my lover no, I am yours. A song of mercy for love hungry souls. We touched all night, all night long. Your hands smooth as silk, but so strong. I always thought that we were meant to be. But you had no way of ever telling me.

I have taken the steps and all my material IS copy written and registered! But I do like to share my work with others who are interested.

Please email her back not me. thanks Indi Her address is whowell@voicenet.com below is the description of the guitar. heya- she's a charvel 625 ce acoustic/ electric guitar i forget what woods she's made of, but i think it's maple & rosewood. her tone is incredible... she's consistantly described in guitar mags & catalogues as the best guitar you can get in the price range, and as one that sounds like it should cost $500 more... she's a cutaway model, w/ abalone inlays, phosphor bronze strings (i'll throw in an extra set of these to you if you buy her), and great electronics (i think they're passive, but i'm not sure). she's got tobacco sunburst finish (which makes her absolutely beautiful), and she comes with a gig bag. i'm selling her for $400, which is a great deal (unless you happen to be involved with a wholsaler) since she's in mint condition. let me know if you want her... thanks :) - -wendy ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 8 Dec 1997 20:14:25 -0800 From: "suz37" Subject: *etheridge* SOTW Hi All, This is the first time I have posted about the SOTW. I chose to this time because this is the very first ME song that I ever heard. It was back in the late 80's after the red CD was released, I heard this song on the radio and I was instantly captivated. I had to find out who sang "Similar Features". I did find out and of course I did what I always do, I rushed right out and bought the CD. I was struck by the cover of the CD and the obvious, to me, rage the artist was displaying. Then I listened to the CD, playing over and over again Similar Features. I was compelled to listen to all of the songs because of sexy, rough, husky voice of this Melissa Etheridge. I was then struck by the artist's pain, which was evident throughout all of the songs on the CD. I will always remember in my head the words and tune to Similar Features for it was my introduction to one of the most gifted artists I now know of. The song is haunting to me, as are many of Melissa's songs. The line "if that's what it takes to get you through...go on close eyes...it shouldn't bother you...", is just stays with me. There is so much pain, pity, feeling in those words. Thanks for suggesting the SOTW is seems to stimulate alot of good conversation on here.

AUK seems to be about the first night together and IWNBTS is about the realization that it may not work. I know the songs were written years apart, but the two go together. I recently acquired a concert review (thanks Joyce) that you all might like to read. Of all the articles and interviews I have read dated before she came out, the journalists usually respected Melissa's wish for privacy in her personal life. This article is called Lounging About by Val C. Phoenix from the San Francisco Bay Times dated Sept. 10, 1992, which was four months before Melissa came out. I wonder if it was articles like this that told her it may be time to go public. Here goes. I don't have a scanner, so please forgive the typos. Good Girls Gone Bad Melissa Etheridge Warfield Theater, Sept 3 "Janis Lives!" I thought, midway through Melissa's show. It's not such a far-fetched idea, taking into account all the components of the Joplin legend: namely, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. In addition to partaking of all three, Melissa has covered "Piece of My Heart" and once told a crowd of admiring dykes, "I never met the lady, but I wish I had." Yet, the woman on display here was the new kinder, gentler, cosmetically improved version, and I feared she'd lost her dykely edge. Not to worry, thought. She still gives good show. I decided Melissa's politics are pretty murky, but it it's entertainment you want, entertained you shall be. The show started off with Etheridge's breakthrough single, "Similar Features," from her self-titles 1988 debut. After that, it was a string of familiar songs ("Chrome-Plated Heart," "Bring Me Some Water," "Brave and Crazy"), plus material from the recent Never Enough, which is what prompted her visit to our fair town. Etheridge has never achieved the kind of broadbased mainstream success she so clearly craves, and I have my reservations about her attempts to "beautify" herself-losing twenty pounds, dyeing her hair blond and globbing on the makeup. Here, though, she looked healthy, relaxed and comfortably settled into cult icon status. By the looks of it, the crowd at the Warfield was reacting to her as something of a sex symbol. I was dumbfounded by the number of het couples making out to her music. Beyond my initial reaction of "Blech" (or at least, "Don't stand in front of me blocking my view with your tongue contortions"), I wondered at her appeal to these cleancut yupsters. It's not every day you see a woman as aggressively sexual and in control as Melissa working the stage. Knowing she's a dyke makes it appealing to me. But for these people? Clearly clueless, I figured. Then I noticed that just as many straight girls as dykes were cheering her on. "Aaah! I love her." gushed the woman next to me, turning to kiss her boyfriend. What gives? Either it was bisexual night at the Warfield or Melissa's become a straight girl's wet dream. I just don't know. Boys: Hide your girlfriends when Melissa's in town. The singer was clearly enjoying the attention coming her way, alternately hamming it up with some rock 'n' roll posturing or staring out into the crowd with an off-center gaze, which, it must be said, did provide a view of her luminous brown eyes. It was also brought to my attention that under Melissa's lengthy blond tresses, she was sporting a large labyris in her right ear. And her nails were short. Music-wise, I have to say she was cooking. Each song was an extended jam session with the band right up until the last encore, performed solo on piano. She's definitely in her element live, thought some touches worked better than others. When she grabbed her guitarist's instrument from behind, I was reminded of that scene in Personal Best in which Meriel Hemingway fulfills her fantasy of peeing standing up. Same technique, you see. Etheridge's songs tend to sound better in concert. Lines like "I believe we can fly on the wings we create," which sound hopelessly trite on record, come across as sweet and earnest when performed live. What else would you expect from this transplant from Leavenworth, Kan.? Coming to SF, she said, was "a big thrill for a small-town girl like me." Aw, shucks, but lest you count her out as being corrupted by her stay in big, bad ol' L.A., Melissa tipped us off as to her real feelings, "Who am I voting for? Let's see, I'm a woman..." Long, uncomfortable pause. "Well, there you have it." Wasn't there something missing in that list? Like oh, I don't know, LESBIAN? Or at least Lawrence Welk fan? Perhaps sensing she'd lost a few of us there, she added, "We'll talk about family values later. I'll show you my family values." Oh, honey, I've heard half of Long Beach has seen your family values. Mixed messages? I should say so. I think this woman is a fan, but she does get her digs in and seems to be bragging a little about being "in the know". She also makes some presumptions that may be based on rumor, such as drug use. Most of this article irritated me, but that crack about half of Long Beach seeing her family values made me laugh. pk PS: I'm using Explorer 4.0, so I hope a bunch of extra junk did not accompany this message. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 09 Dec 1994 00:31:39 -0600 From: Kyla Gray Subject: *etheridge* Just A Thought!

Where the lyrics hit home is in this way. Last Thanksgiving I attened the funeral of my first love's father. She was there of course, we hadn't seen one another in 5 years and hadn't dated in 9 years. I was a highschool sweetheart who didn't make the transition to college beau. Anyway, when she saw me she ran over and instantly hugged me. A few steps behind her was her new husband, Mike is nearly my twin. Identical build, same shaped face and color hair. The sad thing about it was she forgot his name when she tried to introduce me to him. I hope it was the stress of her grief and not remorse. I'm married to a wonderful woman and am an expectant father. My wife just doesn't understand ME's music, but then again opposites attract. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 09 Dec 1994 02:51:04 -0600 From: Kyla Gray Subject: *etheridge* Is it a full moon tonite?

With this statement aren't you turning her into the icon you don't want her to be? I think it's too late - people already refer to her as a "goddess" or "our goddess" (like all fans feel that way). If people want the commercial stuff to stop, then they shouldn't join MEIN and shouldn't buy the products offered for sale by them or at the concerts. And definitely shouldn't buy that damn PETA poster when somebody's selling it for an overinflated price. But none of that is likely to happen. The other thing that could slow down the commercial stuff is Melissa becoming less popular. Though I hate to speak for anybody else I'd venture a guess that that's something nobody here really wants to happen. Though there are probably some people who'd rather see her in a club or small hall rather than a hockey arena.

(For those of you heaving sighs and booing me...you know what you can do! ) I've enjoyed reading posts for the SOTW. I've been too busy, however, to participate as much as I'd like. 'Tis a good idea during times of MLE-draught! In addition to the guidelines URL, I'd like to make a quick reminder that selling things on the list isn't really encouraged. Trading boots and other MLE-related items is fine...but if you have something MLE-related or music-related to actually *sell*, and you feel that you must let the list know of your wares, please only post an offer to forward details on an individual basis (or post URL's, etc., where details about what you're selling can be found). This is all pretty much covered in the guidelines. Again...posting info on *trading* or requests for info on where to find MLE-related materials is perfectly fine! :-) Thanks! Here's that URL...y'all don't hesitate to look it up! http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/2020 jen ========================= "The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and three hundred sixty two admonishments to heterosexuals.

Mueller" Subject: *etheridge* SOTW IWNBTS was the very first Melissa song I ever heard. I was sitting with a friend and he put this cd in. When this song started, I went absolutely silent and listened to every word. It seemed to really describe my life at the time. I had never even heard of her until then. Then I just couldn't get enough! I went out the next day and bought every cd by her. And I started finding out everything I could about her and watching for every TV appearance. I was hooked. This song has always been special to me. Actually, my cousin and I considered putting some of the lines from this song on her son's (my god-son) headstone when he died at the age of 2 1/2 months. I still think of him every time I hear IWNBTS. This is my favorite MLE song and I always listen to it at turning points in my life that do leave me knowing that I will never be the same.

Please don't take any offense to the tittle,it's only because i originally wanted it to be 'Daddys Girl', or 'Daddys Little Girl', but both titles have been used, but i do like it as is. I'll be expecting a lot of hard to swallow feedback just for the tittle, but once you read the story, hopefully that will change your minds:) Daddys Little Dyke. Driving along in my Mercedes Benz, top rolled down and the wind in my hair,as I go. People go by and I wave hello, not a day goes by when I don't. Just like the sun I shine high in the sky, with my ego barely a float. Chorus The curtains go up, and the lights go on, and the people row, by row. You all wanna hear what I have to say, but you don't want to know who I am. I mailed some money to momma back home, out of work and nowhere to go anymore. Momma would hold me and kiss me good-night, while my daddy would sing me a song. Staying up late and working hard, with my momma by his side and his pride. Chorus The curtains go up, and the lights go on, and the people row, by row. You all wanna hear what I have to say, but you don't want to know who I am. I satyed up late for daddy one night, but he necer walked through that door. Momma said he was badly hurt, that it was his time to go. At the ripe young age of five or six up until now I just couldn't understand why'd you go! Chorus The curtains go up, and the lights go on, and the people row, by row. You all wanna hear what I have to say but you don't want to know who I am. This song is getting quite popular here amung my friends. I'm not performing in bars, but I will more than likely do some charity work with my music this summer. I am in the process of practicing cover songs(Janis Joplin, Rod Stewart,ect..) For those of you who are asking if I have a web site with sound clips, I am sorry to say, but i don't have one 'nor do i know how to make one, so if any of you are interested in helping me out i would greatly appreciate it. I have a bad case of C.C.C. (Completely Computer Clueless) with the acception of IRC and surfing, but creating a web site.....forget it, but i am willing to try! I will do my best to reply to all your e-mails privately, and fast, but i am just getting so many of 'em. Well there's your song of the day, hope you enjoy it =) Take Care!

And the addest part is that so many of the words ring true: Go and close your eyes, imagine me there, she's got similar features with longer hair..... I remember when I saw the letter I felt my whole world crashing down on me, and I wanted to know how this friend of ours could take advantage of our problems and destroy not only my relationship, but our friendship.

Hey Ridgsters! O.K. i have a lot to say or write or type even, thats the kinda day i had...lol. First of all, for all of you who have asked about a demo tape: I have to record some home made tapes, and that MAY take awhile, but first tell me how many songs you want recorded cause i have a lot. So the more songs you request, the longer it takes. Thats not all, the other reasson being money is tight...'tis the season! But i WILL get them out somehow. Any of you come up with an idea let me know please! Now for my web site: well thats on it's way. I don't know how long it will take, but we've started. I will try my hardest to make it as 'spiffy' as i can for y'all, so i'm gonna be taking a lot of suggestions from you. Hey! After all 'tis for all of you i am doing this! Hopefully i can get some pics in, neat graphics, and (praying) sound clips! I have dredged up a lot of old stuff for you, things i wrote some time ago. It may not be as good as the last few, but i was just begining to write and compose. The ones i call poems are not necessarily poems. They may just be a song without any music right now (save it for my next album). I guess you could say that i feel pretty honored! I mean fans of Melissa Etheridge are 'turning heads' to my lyrics, and maybe even my music. Not just anyone can understand ME music, and i was begining to wonder if ppl understood my music, my words, my emotions and my desires. With the response i got from all of you, i ain't wondering no more! I'm not all that, but i have to at least be good for you to keep showing interest! I have to close this posting...sorry:( But i will leave y'all with something to think about while you sleep. I may be back tonite, i must say you have truely inspired me! Why is it that most ppl don't think i have anything interesting to say or sing about for that matter...but you just want to know more, hear more? Does Melissa herself read any of this? The Painful Truth, I Will Live To Regret (poem) Do you have to hurt me, to show me you love me? Do you have to love me, so you can hurt me? You get me so mad that I try to hate you, But I can't! I do my best to forget you anyway i can. You make me feel so vulnorable, But in your arms I feel so safe. I know it's not your fault, I came without a guarantee. You always said you'd take a gamble, But did you really expect to do that with me? I want so bad to make you feel what i do, Yet I will never ba able to. Sometimes I may seem unreasonable, That's because I am so fearful... Of telling you what's true. I have fallen for you. All those lonely cold nights, Of wondering where you are. I'm so tired of all the fights! I need you to hold me in your arms, And love me from the heart! Kyla here's another little something, very brief, but i think it says a lot! Keep in touch Ridgsters, i need your input on either of these, first thing they make you think of...anything! You're so wild and yet so tame. Standing ever so proud ridding your soul of any shame. You are so emotional so personal. You have taken many falls and broken through those walls. To become who you are today... I will never be the same! the last line may have gave something away there, but still i need to know what you think. Well for now I guess this is it, sorry :( Take care Ridgsters!

The Aus record companies come down like a ton of bricks on any retailer selling bootlegs.

Some ppl just hear ME, personally i feel the fans LISTEN to ME from their hearts.

With that in mind, please let me share what I found this weekend while Xmas shopping...I was at the Wherehouse Records and Tapes at the local mall (very small record store) and I always flip thru the ME sections just in case. I found an ME CD I had never seen before (please forgive my naiveté) called If I Only Wanted To. It has 4 songs all done live; IIOWT, Come to My Window, Bring Me Some Water, and Like the Way I Do. It is on the Island Record label. There are very few liner notes, but it does have the covers of her first four CDs on the back...only missing YLS. And in the liner notes there is the usual write up about MEIN. I had never heard of this before, but I really do love it...it reminds me of that one and only ME concert I had the pleasure of enjoying one year ago. It is sexier than the album versions of these songs, IMHO. Well just thought I would share my find with you all, even though you all probably know about it already.

My own preference is for the NMEC to be placed at the beginning of the subject line, but anywhere will do--just please include it! Next...a few people have asked me why *trading* is not allowed on the list. All y'all need to read a bit more carefully before hollering at me ...and read the guidelines, too! Trading is *most definitely* allowed on the list! That's one of the best benefits of being a MElister! :-) It's the selling of MLE (or non-MLE) related items at a *profit* to the seller which is strictly a 'no-no'. In the event that someone has MLE items that they purchased and wish to sell for what they paid, that's ok as long as it's cleared w/the list owners, David and Glenna (see guys?...I got it right!). The best thing to do, if you have something you want to unload, is to offer a URL or your own private email address to those who are interested and conduct your 'business' off-list. If anyone has any questions about either issue, please let me know!

Personally, I think in a lot of ways, a lot of fans (not Kyla, I'm speaking in generalities) have just gone too far away from the music, and have embraced the personality instead. This is a rock musician - granted, a great one. The best? Doubtful. Groundbreaking? In a way, not as much as many women who came before. (Remember good old Joni Mitchell, anyone?) But she hasn't quite done anything that should convey this diefied status of fan worship and emulation upon her. And in all reality, we should remember that musicians really hate being iconized. If you ask Eric Clapton (a far better musician than MLE, IMO) what he thinks of the fact that he has been referred to as "god" and still often has "guitar god" associated with him in one way or another, he laughs and says that he thinks that it is plainly ludicrous. > If people want the commercial stuff to stop, then they shouldn't join MEIN and shouldn't buy the products offered > for sale by them or at the concerts. > Amen! A concert t-shirt or program is one thing (own a few myself) but any item that costs more than $30 is pushing it, IMO.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing them perform in a **high school auditorium** in Cleveland. And you know what, I absolutely preferred that concert to previous ones I had seen at Madison Square Garden or Wembley Arena in London. Because suddenly, the glamour, the image, the aura was all stripped away, and it was all about the music. I seem to recall that the thing that I like most about MLE is her music.

Where ME's songs come from, what they are trying to convey. ME is not attempting to change the world with her music so much as explain herself. She is not only saying, "This is who I am but also why." When I'm zipping arond this east texas town that i leave in, i promise there are not 100 ME fans here, I turn up the songs on her "Yes I Am" ablum and forget about my 6 figure job and all it's stress, the responsiblities of a materia world and simply enjoy listening to someone who is so capable of teling everyone who she is. When people ask me what I'm listening to when they ride with me I get the standard redneck answer, "She's gay ya know." My reply is always, "Yes, but she isn't a shallow bigot." Also most of the people who ride with me work for me and I threaten to fire them. I joke about most things in the world as a form of denial and to shield myself from harsh realities but on the subject of bigotry I take a hardlined stand. But back to ME's lyrics. The ability to express herself so vividly and openly is something I have always been a bit jealous of. My wife ad I have been together for more than 8 years and she still reaches for me in the night and askes "John, just what makes you tick?" i don't even tell her. Odd, huh.

Make a list of your CDs and fax/take it to all/as many of the local used CD stores in your area. Now! I don't want to discourage you but the chances of recovering your CDs is very low but there's always a possibility. Depends what the law about selling used CDs is in your area (in some places, the stores are supposed to wait several days before selling them) and how closely the stores adhere to the law.

Good-Day! Dear MElisters, I went out last night looking for some of those magazines y'all were talking about. I found one, the Advocate. A good article, but i'm a picture kinda gal, and there were no pics of ME unfortunately, but thanx for the tips. I also got the OUT magazine. The OUT 100 is their forth anual listing of the most interesting and influential gay men and lesbians in America. PLUS: Their straight allies, and 1997's hottest topics. I haven't read it yet(looked at the pics), but there seems to be a lot of interesting things in it. The Rolling Stones magazine was mentioned lately, is it this months, and does it have any good pics? Please let me know:) He Never Loved Her She was just an innocent child, so precious and ambitious, but do you think he cared? He made her feel so helpless, what else could she do, he betrayed her love. Chorus He will never love her, he'll destroy her. He is just a monster, and she will be his prey. Tears fell from her eyes as he showed his love. His eyes as cold as ice, and a heart made of stone. No one ever heard her desperate cries for help. Chorus He never loved her, he destroyed he. He is just a monster, and she is just his prey. 'Was I the one to blame?' is what she'll ask herself. 'Why did he dispize me?' 'Was I not good enough?' 'Can I get out of this nightmare, the secret no one knows?' Chorus That he doesn't love me, and he's destroying me. He's just a monster, and I'm just his prey. One day she finally got the courrage to reveal her darkest secret. With butterflies in her stomach and a lump in her throat as he stood beside her she began to say... Chorus You never loved me, you destroyed me You were just a monster, and I was your prey She has now become a woman, but his face will always haunt her. She has not grown weaker, she's only become stronger, but she will always wonder why he never loved her.

[snip] ...but it's >not just anyone who feels, sees, and hears what ME puts >in to her music.IMO. Ah...but isn't the depth, sincerity and strength of passion that MLE exudes determined by individual interpretation? She is obviously passionate about her music and the material that she writes/sings about, but that doesn't necessarily mean that her causes/issues are going to be 'felt' to the same extent by all of her fans. I'm sure that TTMA appeals to me on a more emotional level than it does to someone who doesn't particularly like that song, but then again, the whole of YLS doesn't appeal to me much at all--even though it's the fav of many. Some people might only like her for her live performance, or for her sound, or for her persona. Therein lies their passion. >I have two different copies of her first album on vinyl. Sure...this type of stuff is fun to collect. I don't tend to collect too much of it, though, because I don't really have room for it. I think that what Bonnie and Tracey have addressed, however (and I tend to agree), is spending $400 for a leather jacket with the MLE Key symbol on the back of it...or shelling out a few hundred dollars for, "...that damn PETA poster..." . What they addressed was the absolute fanatacism associated with the commercialization of a human being who is simply making a living doing what she loves. With the understanding that her words and actions touch many people in their own special ways, idolizing her to the point of believing she can do no wrong ('blind adoration') lessens the meaning of her work and takes away from the fact that she is a good musician and performer (IMO, of course). Of course, if she didn't want the fame and money that comes with commercialization (and there's certainly nothing wrong with wanting fame), then I suppose she'd call a halt to it (and, effectively, end her career as it now stands). It's all a matter of personal behavior (the extent to which we admire favorite celebrities). But I think that major mass marketing of celebs certainly adds to the fanatical behavior of some folks. >Anyways we all agree that ME is the BEST!!! Actually, we don't *all* agree that MLE is the best. :-) She happens to be just *one* of my fav performers, and I'm sure that there are other artists whose talent surpasses MLE's. jen, whose department is moving to a new building and who is trying to figure out how she's going to move all of her shit into a smaller office... ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 11 Dec 1997 21:13:15 -0600 From: yrtqlbs@webtv.net Subject: *etheridge* Need info about Lexington KY Is there anyone out there who can give me some info about something to do in Lexington?

Well I usualy only read all your comments never responding to them. But I felt compeled to speak my mind this time because of certain comments that where made. And before I start I will apologize immediatly for the tardeness in responding to a few comments. But I am mostly on the road all week and I only have a short periode of time at home. And usualy I will spend that time with my lover. So I don't get a chance to do to much on the computer. I have been a member for a while now, and I must say that what impreced me the most about this list is the fact that everyone is willing and wanting to support anyone that is feeling depress or just wants to express themselves.Everyone talks freely here with no hesitation and no judgement cast upon them by others. And I think that this is what is lacking in are world these days. People don't want to support each other in there moments of needs or expression. But I was so gratefull to find all this here. If only we could bring it across the world! But maybe I missed something lately. Maybe there was a change that I didn't see when I was gone on the road. There was a few comments that where far from being supportive that was made to a young musician that has been posting here lyrics on this great list that we have. I myself enjoy them and often wonder what my this person had felt while rghting them. But mostly I enjoy and appreciate her use of words. They are simple to understand(I'm french so I have some difficulties once in a while) but they also contain so much passion, it makes you wonder the meaning they have for this young artist. Personnaly I enjoy comin back from my trips and reading her lyrics. They actualy make you stop and think. Wish I may add that this is one thing that is lacking in quite a few artist these days. Lyrics that mean something! But then again that is just my humble opinion. And I will add this. I am certainly not the only one that enjoys her lyrics and who enjoys receiving them through this list. She has confidance and is willing to affirm herself by posting her lyrics. And I think she has guts for this and that we should continue to encourage her. Most of the time I will read the postings on this list, never really stoping for more reflection. I will appreciate the effort that has been put in to her or his posting and even feel for them. But I never have had to stop and think of the effect that the persons words have on me. For once I have read over and over her lyrics. Even printing them so that I can bring them in my traveling. Her words have mouved me and opened my eyes to things that I had willingly been blind to for a long time now. How can we not encourage such compelling words that represents some moment of time in everyones life. I have rarely found a person that by simple words will make me think more than when I was in my early years of studying Spychology at the University. (With the exception of ME) How can we as a community not encourage the expression of human beings? These are a few of my thoughts. Sorry if you may think that they are so long but I had lots of time to reflect on this between arrivals. And when I have an opinion so strong I want to express it as clearly as possible to make sure there is no misunderstanding. Thank you for your patience and have a good night. Happy holidays and may the New Year bring you Peace and Love. Yours truly, Monique ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 11 Dec 1997 11:35:32 -0800 From: "Maurene E.

Actually, that is a pretty accurate figure, when you look at it analytically.

I think that you have a wonderful gift and I personally want you to keep sending me any songs that you might want to share with me because I really enjoy them and it gives me a feel good attitude to know that there is more people out there that have passion and hunger in their heart.

What I am sure of at this point is that no one has officially told Kyla that she cannot post her lyrics to this list, nor have I seen anyone publically berate her for her actions. I asked not *only* Kyla, but *everyone*, to please mark posts that were void of Melissa Etheridge Content as NMEC (No Melissa Etheridge Content). Any post that does not address Melissa Etheridge info is considered NMEC. NMEC is allowed on the list, but for some folks, sorting mail is easier if they can skip over what they don't care to read. As for what people have said to Kyla *publically*...several of us have disagreed with some of her statements wrt to MLE and popularity, passion, etc., but no one has *publically* taken her to task for her lyrics. Disagreeing with her viewpoints or opinions is perfectly alright on this list and it is not meant to reflect upon her talent. >I wonder if they think of how ME would feel if she had been >treated like that when she got started? Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm sure there were *plenty* of folks who didn't care for MLE or her lyrics when she first started out. There are people who don't care for MLE or her lyrics now. There are even people on this list (myself included) who do not care for every song that she has ever written, nor will I/we care for every song she writes in the future. I am sure she's aware of all of this, accepts it, and even goes on with her life. I'm sure that Kyla understands that there will be people who do not care for her lyrics. As far as I'm concerned, however, there is no need to even address liking/not liking, or encouraging/discouraging 'budding young artists' because it has not been an issue in this instance. jen ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 12 Dec 1997 11:07:08 -0600 From: Dan Cohen Subject: *etheridge* Re: Ridgers Hi, Ridgers, On Sat, 10 Dec 1994 (that long ago?)

I really don't like to have to keep posting ADMIN messages (especially so many in one day)...besides which it's time consuming. However... I'm forwarding the posting guidelines to the entire list. I did not want to have to do this on a regular basis, so I put the guidelines on my web page and have periodically posted the URL so that people can easily access them w/o having to download them in email. It is apparent, however, that some people feel they're exempt from having to read the guidelines and follow them. That's not the case, folks. *None* of us are exempt from following the rules--regardless of whether or not you think that someone may benefit from your breaking them. Without further ado, here they are...and let me please reiterate that having posted the guidelines to the list, I'm not apt to be as lenient wrt to warnings, etc., to those who break the rules in the near future. THESE GUIDELINES MAY BE FOUND AT: http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/2020 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> last updated - October 23, 1997 (A copy of the entire post which contained this first posting of the guidelines after Deb's "retirement" can be found toward the beginning of the October, 1996, archives) (These guidelines have been amended where necessary due to my own email address changes and the change of address of the list from McGill to Esosoft.) 1) As has always been the case, cross posting from other lists or newsgroups is a no-no and can merit a warning upon repeated offense or if the material is extremely offensive in nature. [**Exception: Cross-posts are allowed if they pertain to the topic at hand, as we've seen in the past few weeks with the gay parenting and Ellen issues. When cross-posting occurs under this exception I will send a reminder of the guidelines to the sender as a technicality only--no warning will be given.] 2) Posting of private e-mail w/o the consent of the originator is considered poor netiquette It's also not acceptable fare for this list and offenders will be issued a warning. **This is different than sending posts to the list, addressing a specific person, which *should* be taken to private mail. If I feel that an exchange between two people really does not warrant the space and time of the entire list, I will ask that further conversation pertaining to said discussion be taken to private mail. Requests of this kind are *not* warnings...they are simply courtesy calls. 3) CHAIN LETTERS, GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEMES, PETITIONS AND 'URBAN LEGENDS' ARE GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THIS LIST! This is stated in the FAQ that we all received when we first subscribed. This includes posts about 'Killer Computer Viruses', sick little boys who want post-cards, etc. As I do not have the ability to sub or unsub, removal based on this offense will be entirely up to the list owners. 4) SELLING MLE-RELATED ITEMS ON THE LIST FOR PERSONAL PROFIT IS NOT ALLOWED! The MLE list is not maintained for use as a marketing tool nor a vehicle for personal monetary gain. This includes the selling of memorabilia which has no fair-market value (ie, picks, autographs, other items received from MLE, herself, in concert or chance meetings) and the selling of commerically purchased items at a price which garners a profit for the seller. Commercial items, such as 'import' CD's, picks and other memorabilia sold through the likes of MEIN or other outlets, posters, etc., maybe be offered for sale at fair market value *only*. It is preferred that the list-owners be contacted in advance if such items are to be offered.**This guideline has been put into effect not only for ethical purposes (this list is about sharing MLE-related information--not making money off of her name/likeness), but also for legal purposes. There exists a possibility that the owners of the list could be held liable in the event that it was discovered that the list was being used as a profit-making venture. Please hold this guideline in the highest regard. 5) Personal pot-shots and flames will not be tolerated on this list. Spirited discussion and mature debate is welcome and disagreements may be voiced, but direct attacks on each other will simply not fly. Thinly veiled attacks against one another (ie--"You know who") will also be grounds for me to issue a warning. If you feel that you simply *must* give someone a piece of your mind, give it to them off-list. **I will not be responsible for off-list feuding! If you become involved in an argument off-list, whether or not you are the perpetrator, there is absolutely nothing I can do to resolve the issue. If you feel strongly enough about something that someone from this list has written to you through private mail with regard to list material (if the situation turns into harassment, threats, etc), I will read a complaint, but I will not intervene. If you feel threatened or someone will just not leave you alone, you must take it up with the offender's provider. A person's off-list actions will have no bearing upon their list status, unless it comes to my attention that a person or persons are harassing or threatening people off-list on a regular basis. If this situation ever occurs, the matter will be forwarded to the list owners for their review. 6) As far as finger-pointing among listers...this, too, is a no-no. I won't take kindly to people writing to me and telling me that what someone else said offended them and that they think a warning should be issued. If you are offended enough to think a person should get a warning, then I suggest that you take it up with them through private mail. Remember--I'm subscribed to the same list that everyone sees. If things start to get rough, I'll intervene and attempt to keep things civil. **Administrative warnings/suspensions will never be made public--no exceptions. 7) This is not the MLE Info-Only list (MLE info-only is not moderated, as there is really no need for it). NMEC is allowable as long as it's in good taste and follows the guidelines set forth forMLE-related posts. NMEC is a big part of what makes this list 'family' to a great number of people. I will, however, reserve the right to ask that any topic (MEC or NMEC) be discontinued if it is apparent that the participants are allowing things to get out of hand (ie--flame wars erupting every other post, off-topic discussions that dwindle down to participation among only two or three people, etc). 8) Warnings will be issued for some of the more major violations (where stated above). Upon receipt of two warnings within a thirty day period, the offending poster will be suspended from the list for one week. Each warning thereafter will result in a suspension which will increase in duration with each incidence (ie--a lister's second suspension will last for two weeks, a third for three weeks, etc.). Repeated violations and suspensions will, at the discretion of the list owners, result in permanent removal from the list. For now, I will send a majority of ADMIN posts from (jsmith3@bsu.edu). However, on weekends and in the evenings, if I see a need to send ADMIN messages or posts, I'll send them from (03jesmith@bsuvc.bsu.edu). I'll try not to be too confusing where this is concerned. In closing, I'd just like to say that I think we all make up a mature, diverse, friendly, safe place in which to share our differences and similarities--the biggest of which is our mutual admiration for Melissa Etheridge. Thanks in advance for helping myself and all other listers to keep it that way! :-) Jen Smith - Moderatrix, Jr. jsmith3@bsu.edu --OR-- 03jesmith@bsuvc.bsu.edu ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 12 Dec 1997 14:25:31 EST From: JLUCKY7 Subject: *etheridge* MLE Subbing to This List In a message dated 97-12-12 13:07:33 EST, a kind lister posted: << Another thing, I understand that THE topic of conversation should be about ME, but....if ME does recieve what we do(MElisters), don't you think she just might want to know what's happening with other ppls lives every now and again?

I have to admit I'm kinda confused about what everyone's talking about. I agree with whoever said (accidentally deleted the last post) that not *all* of us think that Melissa is the BEST! There are so many amazing musicians out there, I don't think I could pick a "best" if I had to. I think that Kyla used the right terminology when she said that a lot of people don't understand MLE. I knew exactly what she meant, and I think it was kinda silly to even bring up needing a dictionary or not. I agree with all the commentary on the icons, and commercialism. I think that's one of the reasons that I've always mainly listened to a lot of older music. It seems to me that then it wasn't about lights or clothes or how many holes you can put in your body (I'm not really one to talk, I've got 8 in various places), or how many obscene things you can do in 2 hours, but it seemed that it was more about just getting up there and doing your thing, whatever that thing was.

I don't know you from Adam, Faby, but CONGRATULATIONS! I could "hear" the excitement in your post and it brought a big smile to my face. News like that is so wonderful. I recently learned that my youngest brother and his wife are expecting and I am excited just to be an aunty since I don't know if I'll ever be a mother myself. Other than to children of the furry, four-legged variety, that is. Best wishes and happy holidays to your soon to be larger family.

D'amour (love) In the first house we got when we tied the knot the first place we lived when we said I do sat on the front porch to write this song for you for you. I loved you and you loved me, grass was green and so were the trees birds would sing a country song to you to you.

You can tell she really loves Melissa Etheridge. There are some of Melissa Etheridge songs that I have to ponder sometimes to understand. Like "The War Is Over" This song can have many different interpretations for others. It could relate to all kinds of different people, and others may share alot of different meanings from this particular song. What I am trying to say here, maybe some are just misunderstanding Kyla's posts, I think she just loves to share her thoughts, and why not let her. :o) Saying this with Love only Everyone okay! ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 13 Dec 1997 13:06:54 EST From: Chris2Wood Subject: Re: *etheridge* Re: Ridgers Hello everyone, there is a place call the The Ridge on Aol, they meet every thursday and Sunday night.

It's not that people don't understand MLE, it's that many people have many different interpretations of her work--all of which are valid. >What I am trying to say here, maybe some are just misunderstanding Kyla's >posts, I don't think so...I think that people just have different opinions and they've expressed them. Differing viewpoints are allowed and even welcomed on this list. If I don't agree with someone or if someone says something that I find 'off-base', I'm going to share my disagreement. >I think she just loves to share her thoughts, and why not let her. :o) Good...that's what the list is here for and no one has told her not to share her 'thoughts'. She was simply asked (as were others) to mark her posts which contained no reference to MLE as NMEC, affording those of us who don't care to read them the opportunity to delete them right off the bat. If the fact that a few people disagreed with her thoughts on MLE and posted their own viewpoints has caused such a stir, perhaps the few of you who were offended should come to the realization that when a few thousand people get together to discuss one topic, there will be disagreement and discussion of such. This list is *not* a "love-in" where all come together to agree 100% on any given topic. "Let's move on, folks...nothing more here to see."

You place your hand on my body for the first time and I take you with me...all the way to heaven. Without belief, i continue my journey unsure of an unusual kiss we shared, and what led us together. "How do you know if you're ready to love?" whispers my heart.I realize that just like anyone else, what i fear the most is change. Love's no guarantee and promises were meant to be broken. I occasionally sing a song inspired by the passion of my chrome plated heart. The raw emotion you used to love to dance to.My guardian angle has come to my window, and blessed me with a soul who needs, wants and craves for me. I will never be the same. I'm the only one who didn't know your silent legacy, you had to let me go, you left no souvernirs behind. Your last words to me, followed by tears, went something like this "The boy feels strange". 2001 heart beats later, you turned and walked out of my life, leaving me behind with the letting go.This all American girl, dancing in the fire, tangled in the weeds, must be crazy for me. You can't resist my desire. No one will love you like the way I do.Don't look at me, can't you see I want you? Don't you need me? Everything that's important to me has vanished...last seen at Royal Station 4/16. Many cold and lonely nights have gone by, and my attempts to forget you have failed. Then one winter evening, while sitting by the fire, a knock at my back door broke the silence. There was no one there, just a letter with the smell of your perfume. The envelope read 'Juliet where's your Romeo?" Will I dance without sleeping once again, or will I be brave & crazy and leave it sealed with a kiss in return? The thing about you is you drive me out of my mind, you make me melt at the sound of your voice, but you left me standing there in the ruins with the late september dogs who feast on my bleeding heart. You and I know, it's for you that what we shared, the love, the passion, and the pain, i keep to myself, but I keep it precious, keep it alive. I beg upon my knees, bring me some water to put out these flames that only burn skin deep.Your similiar features have come and gone. I want to come over, but I don't want to know the truth. I really like you, are the only words that come to mind. Meet me in the back and I will passionately give you a body search, like that night in the park. If I wanted to, I could have been you, but I was talking to my angle, praying for your soul.I feel a lot like you. Ain't it heavy? The suffering, your needing, this dying disease that becomes your only friend. Yes I am gonna love you,this war is over, and you can sleep while I drive into the sunset into the next morning. For the fun of it, how many of you can give me the correct number of ME's songs in this? I may not have every single one of them, but I know I have most of them. I worked on this all morning, and I am proud of it very much, but to each their own. Take Care! There are Never Enough Brave & Crazy fans out there! Speak True! Keep smilling it's good for you!

That because you understand "exactly what she meant" others should too and if they don't they shouldn't ask for clarification? Why did you write your message as you did? Probably because that was what you wanted to write about the particular topic. Guess what. That's why others write the messages they want to.

Somewhere a childs first words echo in a mothers ears as momma is said for the very first time. Beams flow forth light sunshine as the mother holds her child and squeezes so tight knowing that love lives here. Somewhere a new puppy is standing at the closed bedroom door and crying out for me! She wants me I say as I hold her near and gather in all the kisses my face can hold and I know it all starts here. The trust the warmth the understading. Somewhere in the alleys and on the sidewalks of this world a mothers child lies sleeping with only a cardboard box for a shelter. Somewhere a hand places a warm blanket on the shivering child and looks to her son and says the love starts here. Somewhere there is a list called etheridge@esosoft.com it is made up of warmth and caring and understanding though at times that is stretched like a rubber band though it never breaks only snaps back into reality of how the love starts here. We watch, we listen, we share, we learn, we feel, we are humbled and we soar. It is here that we gather to catch a glimpse of a star in the darkness rising just as a child who peers out the window into the moonlight and dreams of catching shooting star.

This is a really discriptive song about anybody, but it is also somewhat more personal than others. I do have music to it, so if you liked the lyrics and you want to hear it, just e-mail me, the subject as "sound clip suggestion" and please if I did not put the tittle to a song, email as soon as you can. I have made that mistake many times. Thank you and Take Care! Dreamer of Life With inspiration in her pocket, and a guitar on her back. Along side the highway of life, she travels it alone. She's headed for Texas, to become someone else. Insearch of a life, she could only dream of. Chorus She's a dreamer of life, and a believer in death. A surviver of depression, and a sucker for temptation. She's not a gambler, just your every day pretender. Full of fear and anger, her life could never be better. A pair of dusty blue jeans, that's who she was. Sunglasses with attittude, and the smoke became her immage. Living in her own world, and looked at life from a distance. With no one by her side, she wonders her existence. Chorus She's a dreamer of life, and a believer in death. A survivor of depression, and a sucker for temptation. She's not your gambler, just your everyday pretender. Full of fear and anger, her life could never be better. Kyla Take Care!

One of the things that I've been thinking about for a while was the oft-expressed opinion on the list that everyone should always express only positive opinions and there should never be any disagreement. I'm not convinced that that is actually a good idea. Suppose we did live in a world where no one ever expressed disagreement with the status quo: 1. No scientific progress would ever be made, because it requires disagreeing with the existing dominant paradigm. Great thinkers like Newton, Galileo, Darwin, and Einstein would have never made their advances, which contradicted the accepted wisdom of the day. There would be no international conferences on global warming, because the rights of the state and industry to pollute the air, water and land would never have been curtailed during the 1970s. Further, most technological advances such as personal computers, the Internet, the automobile, ..., would never have been invented, because they broke the monopoly of the existing business and industrial complexes. 2. No social progress would ever be made, because it usually goes against the will of the "silent majority" of society, who generally wish for things to stay the same (if not go back to grandma and grandpa's time). Segregated schools, churches, workplaces, sports teams, and so on would still exist, because people like Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King wouldn't have said no to being treated like second class citizens. In fact, the abolitionists would have stayed at home in 1840, and slavery would never have been abolished. Women wouldn't have the vote, the right to a safe, legal abortion, as much access to jobs, education, equal pay, etc. as they do now, if the first wave of feminists -- from Elisabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott up to the suffragettes of the 1920s -- and the second wave of feminists -- in the 1960s -- had not said no to unequal treatment in comparison with men and boys. Roe versus Wade would never have been argued in the Supreme Court in 1973. People with mental or physical disabilities would still be hidden in institutions or at home. Lesbians and gay men would still be considered as having a serious criminal and/or psychiatric disorder (part of psychology textbooks up until the 1980s), instead of being in a position to fight for decriminalisation of homosexual behaviour and equal treatment in jobs, housing, parenting, etc. Political action by the people would have never affected the Vietnam War, US involvement in Central and South America 3. The noisiest, rudest, most inconsiderate and self-centred people would rule the world. Quiet people would never have a chance to speak up in class, or to avoid being interrupted when they did speak. Polite people would always end up in the back of the queue. So, given that there is a role for conflict and disagreement in the larger political and social environment, is there a place for it on the Etheridge list? 1. Disagreement over facts or the interpretation of facts can be constructive, but disagreement over opinions or beliefs hardly ever is. 2. The way in which people disagree is probably as important as the subject of discussion -- measured argument backed up by substantive fact is more likely to be influential than flaming, name calling, circular reasoning, etc. 3. A mailing list with no conflict will inevitably degenerate into a stagnant, boring, rigid, cultish morass, dominated by the lowest common denominator of thinking and opinion, as people who can't tolerate any sort of conflict are psychologically unhealthy, and generally in the grip of some sort of advanced neurosis. On the other hand, if the list degenerates into a endless round of "Does so", "Does not", all of the adults are likely to go somewhere else. Some level of constructive conflict is needed to move the list forward, but destructive or nonproductive conflict needs to be minimised. Disagree with me? Fine. Present a counter-argument, either original or drawn from authoritative sources, that can convince me that a zero level of conflict is healthy either for people or organisations (formal or informal). Show me how the signal-to-noise ratio of the list is improved by such a policy. Convince me that conformity results in more progress than diversity. Give me examples from science, politics, or society that contradict mine. Request that I post in rhyming doggerel instead of prose. I do a pretty wicked Dr. Seuss. Or just ignore me. I'm cool with that.

The crowd went crazy when Melissa started to videotape the famous 'light show'. (Every time Melissa plays in Ahoy, the crowd performs the 'light show' or rather: the lighter show. At the beat of the drum, we start to flicker our lighters and that is such a breathtaking sight... ) At the concert before this one, Melissa promised to tape this, because, she said "No one ever believes me". It's true, it's kinda hard to describe what happens when we do 'our thing' :)Had to check my dictionary though, about that 'posterity' thing! SOTW: This War Is Over It's a fact that a lot of MLE songs are very emotional and can bring tears to someone's eyes. For me, there are 2 songs that really hit me hard, and made me cry unwillingly : Precious Pain and This War Is Over. When Melissa was about to end her show in Ahoy, i was almost relieved that she hadn't sang TWIO, because i wasn't planning to create a sob scene with thousands of people around me! But.... it appeared that she was going to sing one more song.... and that song was TWIO. And there was no escape When i saw that i wasn't the only one trying to hide those stupid tears, i didn't felt that bad anymore, but i am still surprised by the power of Melissa's songs. One thing is for sure: no other artist has made me cry before! So, i can imagine that someone has TWIO played on their funeral; i think i will too..... Got to go now and get some sleep! :) See you all in a few hours....

"She's posting some- thing besides bitchy ADMIN decrees!" rhondda: "Quick, Joice...email Deb and tell her that jen really isn't as mean as we originally suspected--and it appears as though she must really *like* MLE!" Joyce: "Roger, rhhonda...shall I fill Bonnie in on our findings? (And quit mispelling my name!) rhondda: "Hell yes, Joyse--tell Bonny, tell the whole world that jen's really a lovable sweetheart of a toolbelt-wearin' kinda gal!" Joyce: "Uh, rhondaa..." OK...enough about me (those gals must really *like* me!) As much as I hate to admit that a song from YLS really yanks my chain , TWIO is it. TTMA and TWIO tend to set my tear ducts in action-- particularly live. I guess that TTMA sets me off live because it was used to signify the end of a wonderful three hours of my time spent lost in MLE, her music and the people around me (who, with the exception of an occasional DykeFight , are drawn in by MLE's 'live magic'-- the likes of which I've really never experienced at the hands of any other performer). I've got to admit, however, that I've never seen TWIO live. That's because I chose not to attend the any of the YLS shows (rest assured, however, that I'll catch her next time around...and I think I'll have a greater appreciation for her then...YLS was just too soon after the YIA saturation). TWIO will always hold a very special place in my heart. Some listers who've been around since the initial release of YLS might remember... YLS hadn't been out for very long. In fact, it just might have been the day that it was released. I dropped by a local print shop near campus to pick up some invitations that I had ordered for an event that I had planned as part of my job, and noticed, on the wall, an award bestowed upon a very dear friend by the owners of the print shop for excellence in graphic design and art. My friend happened to be quite a renowned artist--both in the states and across the pond. I hadn't spoken with Frederick for some time, but then, that was nothing out of the ordinary for Muncie's most eccentric boy! Hung along-side the award, was a sample of the promotional material that he had put together for the local Saks Style Show. I made a comment...something to the effect of, "God...can't Frederick just *pick* a medium and stick with it," (a comment made in jest, mind you...anything the man touched was blessed with magic). "Yeah...it's just so sad that he died the way he did...alone...out of his mind...it just shouldn't happen to people," was the reply from behind the counter. Shock... anger...grief...numbness...all rolled into one gut-wrenching spasm in the pit of my stomach. Frederick was the first friend that I lost to AIDS. I had no idea he'd been ill. No one had any idea. He had evidently wanted it that way. Not long after (or maybe even that night...) I really listened to the words of TWIO. Like nearly all of MLE's songs, each person will attach a different meaning or emotion to TWIO (if I'm not mistaken, didn't MLE say that she wrote the song about her feelings after coming out... or am I flashing back to a cloudy memory of earlier list dissection?). The meaning that I choose to associate with TWIO is the release of an AIDS patient (or any terminally ill person, for that matter) from the suffering and pain associated with the illness. For me, it's Frederick's release from his suffering...his refusal to turn to friends for help and support...his withdrawal from his community...his loss of his art and his home (figuratively and literally) which he painstakingly restored with his own two hands. It's the completion of the full circle of his life...from the fun-loving, smiling, dog-loving, artistic, talented human being/friend...to the broken man found in the formal dining room of his once majestic Victorian home, void of furniture and crystal and hooked rugs...back to the wonderful, happy man that his friends new and loved so much. I took my personal CD player to a museum in Indianapolis where they honored Frederick with a showing of his work--both privately owned pieces and pieces owned by the museum and flown in from galleries around the world--and after I perused the entire showing, I went back to my favorite painting. With a glass of white wine, I selected TWIO on my player, turned up the volumn so as not to be disturbed by anyone, and proceeded to toast Frederick and 'welcome him back' to the man he de- served to be. jen "dammit, I hate getting sappy--but it doesn't happen often" smith Jenniffer Smith |"Before I saw your eyes 03jesmith@bsuvc.bsu.edu | I was in control Ball State University | Of my soul Muncie IN | On the whole..."

It is a pathetic > display. perhaps writing kurt/MEIN will have no effect, but it couldn't hurt you to try. i encourage everyone who was unhappy with the chat to email MEIN with your comments. i plan to do so after i've calmed down a bit, and can think more rationally. *rhondda* "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Dear MElisters, I am really sorry to hear about all the chaos in the ME chat room last night. Personally I didn't stick around because of the 'chosing' of fans and questions. I had more fun watching Ellen on the bloob tube than watch a screen freeze. I attempted to get in but...I was not gonna wait, just didn't feel it would have been worth it, not like I was gonna chat with her or nothing! Anyways, for all of you MEIN members, good luck next time. What if we were to e-mail MEIN some suggestions on how they would be able to run things a bit more smoother the next time, do ya think they would appreciate it? Why can't ME just pop in the chat room using a different nick and maybe a friends puter to chat? No one HAS to know it's her. I think she would discover so much more from her fans that way, than previewed questions. Hopefully it will all work out the next time, and not just for MEIN members either! Take Care! There are Never Enough Brave & Crazy fans out there! Speak True! Keep smilling it's good for you! Love Ya!

Tammy Wynette *still* sings the song; Melissa doesn't. I rest my case. :-) I can't believe I'm defending MEIN but - What's the big deal about the chat being for members only? How is that different than any other non-discriminatory "members only" club? Or from having a party and inviting only the people you want? MEIN has screwed up so many times it's not funny. People who've paid their membership deserve some perks. It's not like the "members only" policy wasn't announced in advance (unlike the science fiction convention I went to this past weekend where we didn't find out until *after* we got there that we had to have the more expensive tickets to have the chance to ask questions of the main guests - and the only guest I would have asked a question of wasn't even scheduled to appear when we purchased our tickets). There was enough time to join MEIN and submit questions. It was probably just as much a membership drive ("see, if you're a member you can 'talk' to Melissa") as a perk for existing members. "Pre-screened questions". So? Most talk shows and call-in shows do the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who were standing in line to ask Patrick Stewart questions on Sunday had to have their questions approved first. By pre-screening the questions it saves repetition and an hour of "we love you, Melissa" from some people with a few too many working hormones. Considering the time limit, why should it be wasted with this sort of chat? Then again, was anybody really surprised that MEIN screwed up the chat?

I agree. How is this MEIN privilege different from their "preferred" seating and their other Web services exclusive to members? In any case, it seems to be a good thing they limited it since their server/software apparently couldn't even handle the *members* that wanted to join in. >By pre-screening the questions it saves repetition and an hour of "we >love you, Melissa" from some people with a few too many working >hormones. Considering the time limit, why should it be wasted with this >sort of chat? I agree to some extent, but OTOH it defeats most of the purpose of the real-time aspect of chat.

We are all running the 10 K. I've heard that it is already difficult to get accommodations. Do any melisters from Amsterdam have any info or inside information they could pass along about where we might stay? Now wouldn't it be great if Melissa performed during the event? The absence of Melissa from the New York games 4 years ago was my only complaint from that amazing event. Are any other Melisters going to participate or visit? I would love to get together with the Amsterdam contingent, et al, while over there. My brother and I were only spectators last time around, and we still can't believe we are going to run, since we've only expanded our recent fitness obsession to running a few months ago. My goal is to just not finish last. Anyway if anyone has any info or is interested in meeting, let me know. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 19 Dec 1997 13:35:30 -0600 From: crowfan@webtv.net (Angela Biondo) Subject: *etheridge* new album? when is it comming out???? angie ~crowfan~ ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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: 19 Dec 1997 12:12:48 -0600 From: SHARON.A.ROUW@monsanto.com Subject: *etheridge* SOTW Deb wrote: >Hey, Jen... while I appreciate Rhondda and Joice's heads-up about your actual MEC, I'm really ticked off that you didn't mention the Shanks Noodling (TM) in TWIO that causes me to rush to my CD player and smack the "next disk" button in a hurry... LOL! "Shanks Noodling!" I love that term! Regarding THIO, I think it's an awesome song, well, more of an awesome sentiment. The lyrics and melody would be much more powerful in a different arrangement, IMO. I actually believe it takes away from the song. Maybe MLE should just sing it a capella. Another thought: So, this was supposedly written post-coming out. Did't she cover John Lennon's song "Merry Christmas/War is Over" that year? (This is simply fantastic--if any of you out there don't have this in your collection, you *need* to find it.) My point (and I do have one) is that oftentimes artists are inspired by others. Could her cover of this song, particularly the last part ("war is over, la, la, la, la), have sparked MLE's writing of TWIO?

First finale: "Like the Way I Do" -- exciting, super-extended, rocks on and on Final finale: "This War is Over" -- it's a 'quieting down' and a 'letting go' song. -- Melissa's high-5 farewell to who-ever can reach her. -- John Shanks' and Kenny Aranov's dramatic exits.

I'm a man, 6 feet, grey beard, messy hear. Also I tend to rock a lot to the music. (Well I can't help it I go nuts for Melissa and her music.) At the end of every show, Melissa delivers a high-5 hand-slap to everybody at the edge of the stage, as she walks across to her exit. I was determined !!! to get lucky this night: I was at the stage, ready. The song is TWIO. I had both hands in the air. When she got to me, she didn't slap my hand. She grabbed BOTH of my hands, and she wouldn't let go! I was so surprised I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything. Then she released me, and continued down the stage to get the rest of the fans. After Kenny's finale, he did the same high-5 for the fans at the stage. And when he got to me, he did the same thing! The "Hands" Report: - ------------------ Melissa's hands are strong. But also I felt a lot of control in them. She certainly had control of me for that brief encounter. And I think her hands are very sexy, because of the control that she has with them. Kenny's hands are also very strong. He also has a lot of control, but different from Melissa. Kenny didn't exactly hold my hands: he took them, and he decided when to let go. I had no choice. - ---------- end of copy from ECW archive, Nov/97 ----------- I think it's incredible, how such simple things can give so much fun!

This is my first and last post as Mufflink..I will soon be more active on the list as Ruinz mainly because Hotmail has become cumbersome..Many of you I've had the pleasure of meeting in the MEIN chat which of course IS what I wish to comment on here now. This chat has been running since August. Melissa has been there 6 or 7 times as Melissa and ? times anonymously. I have yet to see her post to this list. My point? Perhaps we should just be thankful there exists an MEIN and an MEIN chatroom and leave it at that! Wednesday night was overwhelming to say the least..and yes, many of us were VERY dissapointed to be booted or not chosen. IMHO, any chat program would be strained with 150+ chatters interacting on it! It also occurred to me that considering the lateness of the question approvals, perhaps Melissa HERSELF was choosing the questions she would answer. You can knock MEIN and you can crab about decisions MEIN makes, but you can also make suggestions which I am confident they are very interested in. MEIN is partly what WE make it just as this list is. I was overwhelmed by the UNION of so many true fans from different avenues of fandom (AOLers, Listers, MEINers,..etc)..all together in one place from all over the world! THAT in itself is something very special. My hope is that Melissa will continue to appear in the chatroom and that all of you at one time or another can chat with her.

Although they probably didn't tell you, you could have called and gotten it from them.

I doubt it since she said the second question about christmas traditions was "personal" and offered only that there are many and they look forward to this first christmas.

MEIN is the "melissa etheridge information network", the officially sanctioned fan club. they are mentioned in the liner notes of YIA and YLS (off of the top of my head, i can't remember if MEIN was mentioned in NE's liner notes or not). you can become a member in a variety of ways: 1) call them at (415) 597-6655 and sign up over the phone, 2) sign up via MEIN's web page at http://fanasylum.com/melissa/ (click on the spinning logo and then click on the "join" icon in the right hand side frame; you must have a credit card to sign up this way), or 3) print out the form at MEIN's web page and mail it into them (see MEIN page for address). there are now 3 different levels of membership: Essential Etheridge ($19.00; basic membership package), Precious Etheridge ($39.00; basic membership + embroidered t-shirt), and Chrome Plated Etheridge ($99.00; basic membership + denim jacket with your name embroidered on the front pocket). this info and more can be found at MEIN's web page - check it out! :-) ================== "Ida Hepler" wrote: > Melissa has been there 6 or 7 times as Melissa and ? times > anonymously.

Have they been drinking? Are you safe? Tragically, another drunk driving crash claimed the lives of two innocent young victims in Apple Valley the other day. Last year drunk driving collisions injured 10,000 and killed 456 L.A.-area residents. Through RADD (Recording Artists, Actors and Athletes Against Drunk Driving), the entertainment community is doing something active and positive to promote sober driving this holiday season. RADD's 2nd Annual Greater L.A. Challenge campaign has distributed over 6,000,000 free "RADD Cards" good for discounts and incentives in 700 participating bars, restaurants and retail stores throughout the five-county Metro area from now through January 31. This unique card is RADD's way of rewarding Southlanders for at least considering the concept of a designated driver. "Everyone is doing their share. The retail community mobilized tremendous support for this campaign by turning out in record-breaking numbers," explains RADD President Erin Meluso. "We've also had overwhelming buy-in from Southern California radio stations who are donating serious air time to playing "don't drink and drive messages" from RADD celebrities such as Clint Black, Melissa Etheridge, Filter, Elton John, Paul McCartney, No Doubt, Tito Puente, Jr., Jon Secada, Rod Stewart, and Trisha Yearwood." The free cards are accessible to everyone. They can be picked up at all Greater L.A. locations of: Farmers Insurance Agencies, L.A. Cellular Superstores, Sam Goody and Musicland outlets, and at any of 700 participating bars and restaurants displaying the "RADD Card Honored Here" window sign. Copies of the RADD card are also printed every week in selected editions of the "PennySaver" and "Shopper" publications. A complete listing of retailers as well as the card can be downloaded off the RADD website at http://www.radd.org. RADD is an L.A.-based non-profit organization that serves as the voice of the entertainment industry on the subject of road safety. RADD's 300 celebrity spokespeople fight drunk driving by advocating the use of designated drivers and alternate transportation. RADD is the recipient of the US Department of Transportation's "1997 Public Service Award." The campaign is sponsored by Anheuser-Busch, Farmers Insurance and L.A. Cellular. SOURCE: Recording Artists, Actors and Athletes Against Drunk Driving ======== second, i checked out RADD's web site (http://www.radd.org) and discovered that not only is there a thumbnail of MLE's RADD poster, but there is also a .wav file of MLE's PSA available there (http://www.radd.org/ustates/celebs/). since i don't have a sound card, perhaps someone can report back and let us know what she says. further, the RADD web site directs you to "The Bacchus and Gamma Peer Education Network", where you can order the MLE poster online. the poster is $1.00 each for affiliates (not sure what you have to do to become a bacchus and gamma affiliate) and $1.25 for non-affiliates; minimum order is 10 posters ($12.50 total for non-affiliates). you can place your order here and then Network will contact you soon to confirm your order. happy holidays! :-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

MLE appears on the Cdn version of the main RADD poster, but not on the U.S. one (unless she's hidden by the words behind the hootie guy on the U.S. version). The Cdn poster is muuuuuuuch much much nicer (IMNSHO 8^) ) and there's a quote at the bottom of this page that says: "The new RADD poster is going to be distributed free of charge to universities and colleges, high schools, liquor control boards and community action groups this fall. To order copies we will ask that people fax the RADD office a written request" Now, granted I don't get out much, even in Waterloo, but i saw nary a poster all while i've been here at the university. has anyone else seen this poster up here in the great white north? the address for the cdn branch: RADD Box 448 Station D Toronto, Ontario M6P 3J9 and the fax number (if you want to try to "fax a written request"): 905-939-1085 Happy holidays to all of you!! viv Vivian Choh 'Is it better to have words left unsaid bi189@torfree.net than to have words misunderstood?' vchoh@sciborg.uwaterloo.ca -- from "Pale Sun", Cowboy Junkies http://quark.uwaterloo.ca/~vchoh/ ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 24 Dec 1997 15:47:22 -0600 From: karepkg@juno.com (Karen M Steenstrup) Subject: *etheridge* White Christmas A seasonal greeting to you all!

Bonnie writes: >Yes...well, not me, personally. But there have been a few. Is there no interest here? Or a lack of good sounding shows? Perhaps no one willing to administer the tree? I see there are several of you willing to purchase boots. For the same money, tapes and postage would mean you could have 7 90m tapes. Given a tree, careful spinning and a good seed, the sound quality on those tapes can be nearly indistinguishable to the cd. The other real good thing about trading shows, and especially running trees is that there develops a real sense of sharing the music for the love of the music. Finally, I personally get a big kick from ripping off the bootleggers, who are ripping off the artist... Anyone who is interested, I can send an article to you that explains tape trees. If anyone has a nice sounding tape or cd that they would like to share, I would help set up a tree. One of the nicest things about being the seed or branch is that you get to increase your own collection, as well as make alot of new friends and get a warm fuzzy feeling sharing the music!! I myself have no ME boots or tapes that are worth treeing. I *do* have a tape list with nearly 500 hours of music on it, which I have obtained because a primary motive for the traders I deal with is to *share the music*. My list started because there are people willing to spin a newbie music just for a blank and postage (one to one, no profit involved), just because they love the music so much, and want to spread that goodness around. Granted, we are working with the music of an artist who has been heavily taped and has been around for a very long time, so there is alot available. But I think the spirit that the trades and trees are done in is just a high in itself!! I guess, if there is interest here, I would like to share that spirit, if nothing else. Anyone interested? Let me know... peace, neesah (marilyn) and when the music started she just slipped away just like a river rolling down.......ny ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 25 Dec 1997 11:18:00 -0700 From: betasurely@lesbois.com Subject: *etheridge* radd If you want to see the melissa poster it's at: http://www.radd.org/ustates/celebs/posterview.asp?img=melisa&item=1 Yes, they have only one "s" in Melissa.

A tape tree: a "trunk" (the person who has "seed" tapes of a show he/she decides to share) makes taped copies of the show for "branches" (people who agree to tape copies for others), who in turn copy the show for other "branches" and/or "leaves" (people who recieve a copy of the show but do not copy for others). The idea is to share the show with each participant bearing the tape and postage cost for his/her own copy of the show. Those with the facilities to create copies do so for those who cannot. About tape trees Marilyn asked: > Is there no interest here? Or a lack of good sounding shows? > Perhaps no one willing to administer the tree? There have been people interested, and there are always good sounding shows. There's probably a lack of people willing to administer the tree. I've been a branch in one or two of tape trees on this list. A couple months ago I rid my shelves of the last show I copied for someone who never bothered sending me her blanks. It amazes me that people will sign up to get a free show and not follow through. My personal favorite are the people who send me normal bias tapes and a self addressed unpadded envelope with no postage (the standard is chrome tape recorded at normal speed with no dolby, padded envelope and the reciever pays for postage both ways). > Given a tree, careful spinning and a good seed, the sound quality > on those tapes can be nearly indistinguishable to the cd. That's assuming you start from cd. I don't have many taped shows that came from cd, I tend to collect tapes of shows not available on cd. Besides, you're assuming a great deal with the "careful spinning" you refer to in a group as uneducated about trading as this list has occassionally proved to be . > The other real good thing about trading shows, and especially > running trees is that there develops a real sense of sharing the > music for the love of the music. I know this works for some musical communities (The Grateful Dead's following comes to mind). I remember how stressed the two people I knew who did trees on this list became, and I hope they weigh in on this issue. I think there was a big need to educate the "Etheridge Public" on how trees are supposed to work - some never seemed to get it. > Finally, I personally get a big kick from ripping off the > bootleggers, who are ripping off the artist... Here again, I think you'd be making a mistake limiting yourself to cd boots - some great music hasn't made it to cd yet. Also, some of those shows (like the club Sappho one) showed up on cd only AFTER members of this list ran a tree on them. I know where I suspect the person who made that boot got his/her seed tape. > If anyone has a nice sounding tape or cd that they would like to > share, I would help set up a tree. Go for it. > My list started because there are people willing to spin a newbie > music just for a blank and postage (one to one, no profit > involved), just because they love the music so much, and want to > spread that goodness around. This is a good point. I got my first show from someone who gave it to me for blanks/postage even though I had nothing to trade for it. I've done this for others (please don't ask now, I'm too busy to do this for anyone now). Many people who trade will do one "free" show (for blanks/postage) for a newbie who's just getting started. We don't seem to have much of this going on here. I'm short on time ( besides, I'VE DONE MY SHARE this year), and I'm still getting requests for first tapes. Is there anyone out there who is willing to tape a show for one or two newbie collectors? I know there are people looking for shows. We still don't have any sort of procedure set up for pairing those willing to tape for a first timer with those who are just starting out, do we? Anyone have any good suggestions for this? amp ===========================++<>++========================= I don't know, I'm clueless! http://www.i84.net/~clueless/ ===========================++<>++========================= ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 26 Dec 1997 12:10:49 EST From: Chris2Wood Subject: *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #317-NMEC-HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE In hopes your holidays are filled with love and good cheer. ¤ @@ @@@ @@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ Merry Christmas !! and Happy New Year Too FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS CHRIS2WOOD & WOOD2CHRIS <3 <3 ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to 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, 26 Dec 1997 14:12:25 EST From: Taz Tra Subject: *etheridge* A Trade Anyone have an extrac copy of any older cd singles by Melissa?

I wanted to share my thoughts with them about having the same song played at my funeral. I originally just sent them the message but then thought I should probably post it here as well. This is what I wrote to them. Wow! I am way behind on the list so I just saw your message about having TWIO being played at your funeral and thats exactly what I have asked to have played at mine. I'm so far behind on the list that I haven't bothered to post about Songs of the Week, because they would be so out dated. But I tripped when I read all the responses and nobody brought that up. I had never really related to that song taht way until my x-gf's father died a year and a half ago, and she asked me to pick out some song's to play at the funeral. I wanted to play some of her's and her father's favorite musician's, but since I am such a fan of Melissa and she wasn't at the time. I listened to this song amd man did the words connect. He had died a long painful death from diabetes. I let her listen to it and she burst out in tears and said yes definately play that. At the funeral, I went up and said some words about her father and had them play the song. Before they played the song I asked everyone to please listen carefully to the words because I felt that is what he would have wanted to say to us. Now, none of these people had ever heard of ME before, when I looked around the room everyone was crying their heads off (worse than any other time during the whole funeral). After the funeral, so many people came up to me and asked me who was the artist that sang such a beautiful song? That's when I decided I wanted that song to be played at my funeral. When we went to ME concert's last year everytime she played that song we would both burst into tears. Now everytime I hear it I still think of her father and her even more, and I cry for them both.

I have no idea why that message posted three times, I only sent it once. I hope it doesn't do that again. How weird. I could have sworn that TWIO had been SOTW already. No wonder nobody said anything about a funeral. I was so behind I guess I just thought that already it as SOTW once. Anyway I'm all caught up now and I see that now a few felt the same way about that song.... As for this week's SOTW It seems that all the last SOTW present a theme for me (and it seems most others) except for TWIO (which I posted about it before I even knew it was last weeks SOTW). I heard almost all the SOTW's, BMSW, SF hhmmm... what were the others I missed? Anyway a friend of mine had made a tape of what I felt must have been break-up songs and about 20 women were all riding our motorcycles from the Bay Area to Bear Valley and before we left she said here, "listen to this" I put the headphones on then my helmet and we all took off. Well it was right after MLE's first album (I think might have been second) and most of the songs on this tape from one artist were MlE. There were a lot more artists but only one or two of each of them, and I think about 6 or 7 of ME. Well I was just about 6 months out of a six and a half year relationship where I caught my best friend in bed with my gf so, BOY did those songs hit home. Similar Features I changed the words to shorter and a bigger daryier (sp?) (my spell checker couldn't even fix this one. It was the only way I could say big but and haveit ryhum. When we arrived I asked my friend, Who is THIS, that did this and this and this song?, and she said, 'Melissa Etheridge'. Well needless to say I went out and bought the CD (maybe two) still don't remember but she was still playing small clubs then and I went to every show (in the Bay Area) and bought every CD as it came out, and the rest as they say is Herstory. I used to drive around in my car when I was single and listen to Occasionally A LOT and still think about that x-gf. It took me a yearor two to get over her. Until I met my next love, who I with until a month and a half ago. It was on and off for the last year or so, and the last time we broke up, for a couple of months, I started going out and meeting different people, and I don't know why, but we went to Hawaii and got back together and then she left again a month later. We haven't spoken since, and I don't expect we ever will. Now I listen to this song a lot again!!! My strangers in the night are my friends on the internet. Thanks for listening everyone. And to Rhonda, I love each and everyone of your posts. And I miss Shirl girls post's, as well. You two crack me up! I will definately have to get out east sometime so I can get together with the east coast group to do a 'mean people suck toast!' How is that girl anyway? Haven't heard from her in a while!

I keep trying to find this stuff, but obviously I'm > looking in the wrong stores... i'm assuming that you mean "happy xmas (war is over)" and not "this war is over", right? "happy xmas..." is available as a promo (and on some bootlegs), so you won't be able to locate it in your local chain store such as tower, virgin, or HMV. of course, TWIO can be found on YLS and during the ending credits of "the devil's own" (a much shorter version), but it wasn't released as a single. try scanning "goldmine", a collector's newspaper-type magazine that you can find in most large music chain stores. you might be able to find it there. however, be aware that this promo is expensive. =============== speaking of "happy xmas (war is over)", our long lost buddy, Vivian Choh , wrote about seeing the "pop up" version of the video on MM: > yikes, i really gotta get my head out of the clouds. i didn't even > know that this video existed until tonight!! neither did i. i managed to catch all of the "happy xmas..." pop up video on tape during VH1's special holiday edition of "pop up videos". it appears that either this pop up video is relatively new (like in the last year or so) or has been updated, because it included some information about the filming of the NTG video and when the happy couple found out that julie was preggers. btw, the regular version of MLE's "happy xmas..." video was 4th in VH1's "top 10 countdown of holiday videos". =============== "Bonnie Phillips" wrote: > betasurely@lesbois.com asked: > > >Cool.

But I suppose for others, it's a special celebration. We are rather bound in time right now, so when a grouping of 12 months starts over again..it's like a clean slate. And that feels pretty good. So we light the fire works and raise a glass of bubbly liquid and find some soft lips to kiss! Wave goodbye to the old and let the ride take us into the new year. And so to the Aussies...to the Dutch...to the English...the Canadians..to the East Coasters..those in the Central planes...and yes even California...to all those who have come to mean so much to me on this list...I wish you peace, laughter, true love.....and the best seats in the house for every concert!!
