The shirts are great and were extremely helpful in spotting other MELISTERS at her concerts. I think I have a shot of some us MELISTERS wearing our Bowling Shirts at the Hershey Pa. Concert if you really want to get a peek at the stylish shirts! Surf on over to my Web site and look for My Favorite Places and link away. Joyce worked many long and hard hours on this project and was even fortunate enough to meet Melissa and give her one of the Bowling shirts herself!

The science of it not important. The mere fact that they do exist and come visit every year is enough to keep this ole bear waiting anxiously night after night. Just as the excitement builds when the darkness surrounds Our Dear Lady Etheridge and then suddenly she stands illuminated in the light with warmth and love surrounding her, mystically she tosses it back towards us like a meteor whirling through the night sky and her power to capture us and hold our attention and set our hearts to soaring is one and the same. Yes they come in the night and have the same effect as I stand in the darkness withmy eyes closed and open them to see all the light they give and feel the magic. For it is at this time I know little things mean alot and my friends of the darkness, the lightning bugs, never ever fail to let me know what coming out of the darkness is about and how wonderful it is to share that experiance with hearts that feel the magic. And one day when you are standing there waiting for the illumination and the light. You will know for your hearts will see and cannot help but feel.

Then check >TicketBastard Online. this is a very good suggestion, especially if the show that nicholas is interested in went on sale this weekend. you'd be surprised what pops up on TM online, especially if you're only interested in one ticket. sometimes credit cards are rejected, and i think this usually happens the first few business days after a show goes on sale. in addition, sometimes tickets are "dumped" by the venue/artists due to production holes or as a way to thwart scalpers. keep trying your local outlet first thing every morning. also, try subscribing to sarah mclachlan's mailing list (or any of the other artists' lists) and ask for extras there. persistence will payoff in the long run. don't succomb to buying your tix through scalpers; there are definitely better ways to get tix, but sometimes it takes more work to do it this way. speaking of the lilith fair, john and i have tix to the 7/8 show at the shoreline in mountain view. paula cole was on "fox's after breakfast" show on friday morning, and it was great to see the ever cool mark browne playing bass in her band on the streets of NYC. guess he's in it for the long haul, so we'll be seeing him next month. ========================== Deb wrote: >>*rhondda* <--- president of the SC fan club ;-) > >I'm a big Shawn Colvin fan too! :-} yeah, me too! ;-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #97 ****************************** Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 04:02:14 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #98 etheridge-digest Tuesday, June 3 1997 Volume 01 : Number 098 *etheridge* Melissa GERMAN Video *etheridge* Repeat of Storytellers. *etheridge* NMEC - Amy Ray...is it true (fwd) *etheridge* Re: Amy Ray Re: *etheridge* Re: Amy Ray *etheridge* Re: Amy Ray RE: *etheridge* Crown Royal Bags *etheridge* sorry, my mistake...

It is truly one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time, the kind of movie where I actually belly laughed. You will not hear an "objection" from me, because it is a "just cause" to see and I am not "leading" you on. OK, I'll stop now, I'm just warming up for the Fajita Fest is all. I have to keep my brain sharp ya know.

Hey, everyone This is just to let those of you in England know that, with London Pride coming up on Saturday 5th July, Kate and I are holding an open-house on Friday 4th. The theme, of course, (for Kate's benefit) will be Independence Day so some fairly simple American-stlye snackies will be available. If any of you are going to be in London that night, you're more than welcome to pop along. I'm afraid we can't offer you a bed to sleep on, but we can offer some good food, great music (hmmm now, I wonder what... ?) and, of course, some excellent company. :) And/or if any of you are interested in meeting up on Pride Day itself, that too can be arranged. For those of us who have them, it would be an excellent excuse to wear our bowling shirts again! So, if you're interested in meeting up at any point, email me privately and we can work out details. It would be great to meet you!

Hello listers, After responding to Marie's questions for her paper, i pondered my experiences while I was out of the country last year, and wanted to share a little of Melissa's international appeal....language barriers & all! As a culinary student I travelled to France last year for a 3 month long externship. This externship was the culmination of alot of hard work, and it was an honor to be chosen for it. Of course, leaving my lover, family & friends was difficult, but this experience was NOT to be passed up! I took with me my walk-man and 10 cassettes......half of which were melissa.....photos of those I love (including concert shots of MLE)...and my Melissa poster. Some things ya just gotta have!! I had been there about a week when a woman I worked with introduced me to the best brasserie in town. This was the bar where the musicians, gays, tv's, and artists hung out. I loved it immediately!!! As we were enjoying our after work refreshments....who do I hear on the stereo????? None other than our Melissa! It was the Red Album ......I was astounded!!! I had heard zero Mel on the radio, and was delighted to find out that she WAS known in this small town ! As time went on I made more friends. One , in paticular, could not speak ANY english. Despite this, we became quite close. I'm proud to say, she became a major MLE fan in the time I was there. This is the one who doesn't speak english!!! Nathalie just couldn't get enough of Melissa! She hummed along at first, then started to learn the lyrics.....even though she didn't know what they meant. I translated as best I could, but my French still sucks! Needless to say, when I left France, my tapes stayed! Nath has since been studying her english, spurred on by a desire to understand MLE'S words as well as she understands her passion & spirit. Some languages are truely universal. Thanks for listening :-) Teach Peace. Stay Strong.

The only thing it does for us is the tickets. Besides that, I think its useless, especially for the next couple years. If you want to see a very cool artist information center go to www.benatar.com. Pat Benatar hired a web company and they have come up with a very personal informative web site that is constatnly updated and very cool. I'm very impressed. It's got everything except for the tickets. Melissa should get a company to do this for her. By the way, if any of the people on this list are closet Benatar fans or used to be fans years ago, she just put out Innamorata which is probably the best CD she's ever recorded. If this doesn't score a comeback for her, nothing will.

Geesh! That shouldn't take long! :) For some reason the line:" There Is A Time"will not get out of my head tonight! Perhaps it is the long week I had last week or the rain that has captured my little corner of the world and is holding the sun ransom. But I believe Eeyore put it best when he said: It's not much of a tail, but I am kind of attached to it!" I am kind of attached to things in this life myself. Aren't we all! Take for instance Melissa's music. Or longer if need be! :) Melissa's music is the warmth we all need on rainy days such as we have too often in our lives. Her passion and fire keeps us warm and allows us to bask in it's beauty and power. Her life speaks of truth and gives us the courage to speak true and the strength to cut loose the fears that hold us down like a ball and chain. Yet There Is A Time. A time to stop. A time to get off the bus. A time to rejuvinate and draw a bucket from the well of your soul and pour it over your head and be soothed. A time that is like just before a rain storm where you can look out over the fields and see the rain coming and instead of running for the house you run for the fields and you stand and you become a part of the storm. And the freshness that comes forth upon you is as if being born anew. Yes, there is a time and it is Melissa's time and the beauty of it all is that after the quiet and after the rains subside the music will be reborn. Yes, There Is A Time and this is the time for all little bears to close their eyes and go to sleep. Good-night all, "POOH" ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 3 Jun 1997 23:56:08 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* NMEC: MWMF Hi all, I was just wondering, is there anyone on here from Michigan?

Hi everyone! My day started off okay, but then when down hill. I am having a lot of problems at work so the stress level is way up there. I finally took a minute, pulled out my cd player, hooked up my small speakers and played ME's Brave and Crazy cd. That was a life saver. I was getting so= stressed and the nice thing about it is, not one customer I was waiting o= n complained about how loud my music was or what it was. Listening to Melissa really helped me out today and I just wanted to share that with everyone. I needed to talk to someone and my fellow MEListers are always= here listening. Thanks.

Here are my suggestions from Downunder...(jud crawling out from underneath her rock) Item # 1: It is small, roughly triangular in shape. It is plastic. It comes in various colors. It does not make noise itself but can be used toward that purpose. ~~ A sheep whistle. (You Aussies mates know all about these...they do look triangular don't they eh) Item #2: This cloth item consists of the spectrum minus one, in bars. ~~ A white hankie from someone with a blood nose, a horrific cold for true technicolour. Item #3: This one goes by several ridiculous names, but it's a must for every mother. This item can make baby so happy she forgets why she was crying. ~~ A nice furry dingo pup. Item #4: It's round. It's shiny. It's flat. Its drive has been mistaken at least once for a cupholder. Compute? ~~ duh! a sega megadrive...the only thing it's good for! Item #5: It has been alternately advertised by talking frogs and talking chickens. I need a cold one right now. Be *specific*!!! ~~ an promo for a muppet episode. Can't figure in the cold bit there...maybe you always have a good kiwi beer when you watch the muppets and that crazy Swedish chef...a nice cool Steinlager perhaps? Well, those are my completely uneducated guesses...pretty accurate eh? If you're not sure about the sheep whistles just ask those Aussies on the list...they use them to beckon the sheep more than we do Jud ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 4 Jun 1997 15:29:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Allison Fraiberg Subject: *etheridge* Christine Lahti and Julie For the person who thought Julie looked like Christine Lahti (who, by the way, I "cast" as Julie when we were jokingly talking about the "Melissa and Julie" TV movie of the week)--thought the following might be interesting.

I found out about the list from Randy (who promises I will get to see her tattoo when we meet). Anyway, I'm a big Melissa fan. Posters and pictures of her line my office walls and there always a CD nearby. I've not ventured into the bootleg deal yet but suppose it's inevitable. For all those posting about coming out.. best of luck. It's rough sometimes but living in the closet is no way to live. I just saw the Indigo Girls in concert and they were great (as usual). The opening band was... different. Ulali, I think was the name. Also just got confirmation on tickets to the Lilith Fair and am now counting the days. From what I've seen so far, this list has some great people writing. I hope to become a part of this as time goes on.

I believe the latter is produced by her label. There you can find out all kinds of info on our beloved MLE: read archives of articles, reference song words, arrange tape trades etc..... in fact it's where I heard about this mailing list. Speaking of tape trades I've been trying to get my hands on a collection of melissa's video clips. If anyone can help me in this quest please email me privately. Even if you only have one or two clips it all adds up. Also if anyone knows the names of which singles she has released this would be a big help. [Well obviously....:)] Another thing- I read somewhere that Julie and MLE met when Jules directed the clip to "Bring Me Some Water" then I read that they didn't meet until 1990. Surely BMSW was filmed before then. Anyone......? Sorry if I'm going over some already discussed material, I'm preety new to this list.

Tracy Thacker wrote: Hey, I resemble that remark! Gwen asked: <(Btw, where did that that saying... "tongue in cheek" originate anyway??)> Do you really want to know? Just remember, you asked for it. In "The Ingoldsby Legends" (1845), in the story "Black Mousquetaire," author/humorist Richard Barham has a Frenchman saying " 'Superbe! Magnifique!' (with his tongue in his cheek)." Later, in "Culture and Anarchy," author Matthew Arnold says, "He unquestionably knows that he is talking clap-trap, and, so to say, puts his tongue in his cheek." From this we infer that the one speaking engages in irony or insincerity. This abbreviated explanation is from a great book by Charles Earle Funk called "Heavens to Betsy," which lists the origins of many everyday phrases. Funk has at least one other book like this, "A Hog On Ice." These are great for anyone with an interest in word or phrase origins. As for a live set, the best live MLE jam I ever saw/heard was at the Paramount Theater in NYC in the summer of 1993 (I think; could be 1994; my brain is fading). I don't think anything she could put together now could be better. As we've gone over many times here, I think MLE has changed over the last few years, for better or worse, and to me it shows in her live performances as well as her studio releases. I've seen her 3 times since then and haven't seen her perform as hard as she did that night. Probably because her later songs are not very hard. No wars, please. Just MHO. Anyway, the set was: Let Me Go Keep It Precious Crazy For Me Bring Me Some Water Meet Me In The Back Like The Way I Do 2001 (encore) The Letting Go (encore) Anyway, just thought I'd share my .02 for the day (between sending out resumes and hoping that after big publisher gobbles up little publisher there's still a publisher for me to work for).

At the curb was a running black BMW 740i that the valets were either retreiving or parking for someone. Our interest was piqued, but when we noticed the baby seat in the back seat, well then we had to loiter to see. Much to our dismay, the valets were parking the car, which means that the human(s) who brought it were inside getting ready to chow...i wonder if Brad and Gwyn were babysitting?

It is in the final stages of recording/mixing now. Anyway, I think ME fans might like the material, so I was wondering if any of you would be interested in hearing a few songs? Here's my idea: I will make a CDR with like 6 songs, 3 "studio" and 3 acoustic/live/solo. I will send it to one person on the list. That person can tape it and send it on to another, etc., etc. And then maybe some of you would be willing to give me feedback on it. I have always believed the music listening public is where to look for feedback, NOT the crazy industry persons! ;-) Anyway, if you are interested, please reply. If you guys think this idea is inappropriate or anything, let me know that, too. After I know how you all feel, I'll post again to send the CD out.

Pooh is so very pleased to announce that as of 5:00 p.m. today I am officially on vacation!! Whoooooooo! Hoooooooo!!!!! And that as of Sat. at about 5:00p.m. I will be at the beach! This has been a very long and rough two weeks and mom is sending me away for some long overdue R&R! Let's see 4 years since I have had a vacation! I think it is time before the stress level on this bear goes completely off the charts! Very pleased that mom is doing fine and that she will be in good hands while the poohster is sticking her paws in the sand and playing with the dolphins! So if you all don't hear from this ole bear perhaps it will be because I have been bearnapped or that the pina coladas and the sound of the ocean roar have me mesmerized and in a state of well being! I believe this will be the case! So keep the fire in your eyes and I will go off and find the candle in my heart and turn it back into a flame. Pooh knew it had been too long since she had pondered and felt it was time to leave the meadow and take a walkabout to find out if the ocean really had mermaids. Benny, her little red truck was shining in the moonlight awaiting Poohs lead to sights and places unseen. And in Poohs heart she knew this was a good thing. The right thing for Benny smiled and took her paw and said: "It Is Time." Keep the warmth and music in your hearts and share the sparkle in your eyes with those who need.

To give you an example, I've been meaning to post this since the beginning of May, but have only gotten to it now. Anyway, on one of the shows from "Life Goes On" TV series (the one where Tyler dies in a car crash) the ending has Corkey and Becca walking up a hill to The Letting Go. Imagine my suprise when I heard this on the TV, as I was only half paying attention to the show, and was pretty submersed in other things. I hope to get down to the SF Gay pride parade in a couple of weeks. It'll be a fun one to explain to my parents :) Ah well, off to start getting ready for my psudo date tonight (My friend who I asked out on the date for tonight got scared of the word "date" and decided to call it "us just going out to have fun." But, she's interested in me and I'm interested in her....we're dressing up, etc. so it's a date :) ) Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Suzanne Glass gave me the idea to do this, so here goes. I have a friend, Laurie Riccobono, who released her first CD last December. The CD contains 9 original songs and was released on an independent label. If you like Melissa, or Stevie, I believe you'll like Laurie's CD. Laurie was recently booked to do a show at CBGB's in NY--that show is Wed., July 9th @9 p.m. If anyone lives in the NY/NJ area, go check out the show-----you won't be disappointed. Also, if anyone would like information on where to purchase a CD, please e-mail me at:[email protected]. I would be happy to give you any and all information that you request. Thanks everyone!

I think there are no words that can fade away the sorrow and sadness. Unfortunately that is something all people have to go through time to time. Every time I tried to help a friend ( she lost her unborn baby in 7th month ) I found out that words sounds so trivial and doesn't really help. The only thing that will help is time and friends ( certainly also family ) who will be there to comfort. Someone to hug is mostly the best help - we'll never know why so many bad and sad things happen to all of us but we have to go through and face all the pain. I know that it sounds so hard but I never found out something that could really comfort a person in pain. Be there all the time for your daughter that will help a lot- I'm sure about. And take care we will think about you both.

Just wanted to let y'all know that we all survived FF97.

Rachel here (AKAGreat fajitas, Ladies! And lots of nice people to share them. OK, The Fink here now...O OK...so I passed out before my time, but I rebounded well ;) FABulous party!!! It's always a treat to meet MElisters, old and new...and we had a WONDerful time !! The fajitas this year were of COURSE outa this WORLD, and the company was excellent :) We took Kare back to the airport this afternoon, and Joyce The Shirt Gal will still be in Austin for another day...SueD and Raunchy ad I are heading back to Dallas in a few hours...HOPEfully without RAINNNNNNNN! Off we go for quesadillas...l8r all.... Hey, did everyone check in with Joyce? She managed to put another notch on her MELister bed post last night. What a woman! Other than that, it was another great gathering. Met some new faces tonight, Hey Patty & Tiger Lily. I was really glad you folks got introduced to the infamous Fajita Fest. Oh, oh I just heard another shout for shots. A little hair of the dog for us intrepid partyers. A night filled with good company, Melissa on the tube which kept us entranced, and a bottle of two (um, that should be bottle or two) of Sauza. Also got to do the phone thigng with Shirl & Patty (aka Chilepepper). Missed ya Diane & Karen, but I had my great new Mean People Suck hat on. It looked awesome. Which reminds me, that bottle of Aftershock broke new ground! The always sober Renee actually let alcohol pass her lips at the party. Here she won't drink a good old american beer but she'll down that Canadian stuff. Go figure...the Divine One Well that might hav something to do with ummmm, us Canadian folks up in the great white north, i must say though these texans know how to through a party. Taking the Punster to the airport this morning was an adventure in itself too, here we were, Raunch the finkster, the punster and the shirtgal, topless in Patti's Celica shades on, hair blowin in the wind, doing the cruising thing, only to have a torrential downpour, drench us to the skin, too bad Lizzard bailed before we actually left, she was the one who wanted the wet t-shirt contest to begin with. that's it for now. we're eating quesadillas now...leftover chicken fajita quesadillas, no doubt. Mmmmmmm..... Patti here again....we created the most incredible drinking game Friday night, but didn't play it at the party yesterday (hmm...could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that I *passed out** early on? ) It was the "20-foot mosey relay"... a team of 4 people and a 5-foot leg per person, one beer for the entire team that must be finished (minimum 2 swigs per person)...and the idea is to travel your leg as s-l-o-w-l-y as possible while maintaining forward motion at all times. Damn...we just never got around to it We had several worthy teams who were no doubt primed, but we just didn't get it goin' OK...I'm outa here now...more later....Patti ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Jun 1997 15:29:33 PDT From: "Susan Christopher" Subject: *etheridge* MLE stuff in Goldmine (collectors' magazine) >The latest Goldmine (June 20/97 w/Hendrix on the cover) has the usual >assortment of t-shirts, vinyl and singles (well, one not so usual >single - I'll tell you about it *after* I'm sure there's a copy for me >:-) plus a crew t-shirt and the insistence that Joyce's book is a UK >import (hmm, US author + Cdn publisher = UK). > >Also found a couple of dealers with Amanda Marshall singles. > >Susan - --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - --------------------------------------------------------- ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Jun 1997 19:01:38 -0400 From: [email protected] (Beth Durff) Subject: *etheridge* Laurie Riccobono - NMEC Cathy wrote: >Suzanne Glass gave me the idea to do this, so here goes.

The whole dream was a movie starring Lou Diamond Phillips as the son in a family that lived in an apartment building in New York. They had been in a family neighborhood but the gang was slowly taking over the streets and the building. The mother buys a gun and everyone else in the family is upset with her. Then one of the brothers takes the gun and runs off after a drug deal goes sour. While the mother is alone, gang members come in searching for the brother and then leave. Later LDF sees the gang pull up again and he and a younger brother go to hide. They end up barging into another apartment, and barely miss being blown away by the couple who live there (man played by Ryan O'Neal). Anyway that is when I woke up. Maybe I should write a screen play. Julie could direct and Melissa could write the soundtrack. I have never dreamt a movie before. What does it mean? Have a good day and I hope Pooh is enjoying her vacation.

Everyone was out in the streets celebrating. I was standing on the porch because the @$$holes shooting guns and firecrackers made my mom a little scared. I had my first taste of wine, which I'm happy to say I didn't like. So, I spent the evening guzzling coke and sparkling grape juice. My friends, family, and I stayed up to well after two in the morning just celebrating. I don't even like hockey. Can you believe it? Well, that's all to report here from Hockeytown, U.S.A.

For those who can receive MUCHMUSIC, a Canadian music channel similar to [but in my opinion, better than] VH-1, Ani DiFranco will be one of several artists being highlighted tomorrow: TUESDAY, JUNE 10th - 8:30 pm (Eastern time) - MuchMusic The NewMusic: Anti-Folk (features Beck, Hayden, Bruce Cockburn, Ani DiFranco and others); plus Spring Heel Jack, Fiona Apple, Morphine, Mary Jane Lamond, and Atari Teenage Riot (repeats at 12:30am Eastern) I realize there are at least *two* feeds for MuchMusic: the Canadian version, and a 'U.

LOL Yes, this BABer heard her, though I only heard the last verse or two as I was busy at one of the booths talking with ME-lister Andrea, and some other BABers (from Ani-list and Catie-list)... but that famous melody from LTWID caught my attention and I ran out to the stage to see *who* was singing... yes, Joyce, you spelled her name perfectly! Last night I was watching the TV news to see what kind of coverage the local media did of our 'little' Pride event... and I was surprised to see a very clear picture of *me* walking behind the reporter (so that's what those guys with the videocam were doing ). ---- Glenna (I assume) forwarded this from Deb: > Date: Wed, 04 Jun 1997 07:51:57 -0400 > From: Deb > Subject: bye for now... > > For the first time in many years, I am about to be unsubscribed from > the Etheridge list. Whoa! It will be strange knowing Deb is not here... she was the first person to greet me when I joined this list over two years ago, and what a wonderful greeting it was... she's always been special to me, and I'm thankful I got to meet her when she swept through the Bay Area Sept 95.

Okay, John, yeah, I did mostly skim BAB > posts, but there weren't many because you were gracious enough to > create a private list for BAB activities! :) LOL! Yes, our little BAB group (which started as 6 ME-listers who live in the SF Bay Area) has grown... we're now over 30 *local* ME-listers (plus several non-local listers), over a dozen ANI-listers, plus some Bay Area folks from other lists. For those ME-listers who don't know about us, we're the *Bay Area Bunch* (and many thanks to Margo Hellyer in Melbourne for giving us the name), a 'bunch' of fans of music-by-women (not just Melissa)... several of us attend live music together, and we occasionally have dinner parties in San Francisco (or sometimes at my San Jose apartment)... if there are any Bay Area ME-listers who do *not* receive our weekly newsletter of local small-venue music, and who think they would like to receive it, send me private email at: John Miller - trying desperately to catch up with three weeks of email San Jose CA ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 09 Jun 1997 12:24:07 -0700 From: "Rhondda L.

You all seem like such kind and caring people. Those seem to be traits of Melissa fans. I am also new to ME music. Even though I had YIA and YLS for some time I never really listened to them until about 6 mos ago when I needed some music in my headsets while I was walking and running. Her music touched my soul. I couldn't believe the impact they had on me and I immediately went out and bought her other 3 cds. Time and again I have read on this list about what Melissa means to each of you. It is amazing how she affects so many of us in the same way. What a special person she is. It seemed as though she knew all my "precious pain" - all about those emotions under the rug. Not a day goes by now without Melissa's music. I'm not sure if I'm better or worse now - I seem to be in a hopeless situation -only time will tell. I asked a woman at work to tape Storytellers for me on Friday nite, because my cable doesn't carry VH1. I was so excited because I would finally have something on video. But, would you believe, she forgot - obviously not an MLE fan! I was really bummed. I have never seen any of her performances. I read with great envy all the stories about the FF in Austin. I haven't had a tequila shot since I lived in Tucson 20 years ago. You sound like people who know how to have a good time.

The city is courting movie business big-time, starstruck by image and, more important, incoming money. - - snip - But more cities are in on the act. Producers are wined and dined in New York, Chicago, Toronto and Vancouver. Sometimes the state film commissions host schmoozes -- one-night parties have cost as much as $100,000. Last spring, the state of Hawaii put on a splashy junket in the islands -- not surprisingly, some producers took their whole families. Hawaii was glad to have them. PRIVATE DONATIONS By comparison, San Francisco shelled out only about $5,000 of city money to host 10 producers, since private companies -- airlines, hotels, restaurants -- donated their services. But they were a pretty hot 10 -- one has a Sean Connery film in the works, another was scouting locations for a Janis Joplin biopic feature for Paramount, a third is working on a Robin Williams-Cuba Gooding Jr. movie, "What Dreams May Come," on Treasure Island. "We're very pleased these busy people had a chance to join us," said Joyce Corrigan, president of the San Francisco Film and Video Arts Commission. "We have green-light people here." Producer Richard Wright said his Lakeshore Entertainment Co. will make heavy use of San Francisco for its Paramount film about Joplin. "Half the story is about her days in the Bay Area," said Wright. "Unfortunately, it's not necessarily cheap to shoot here. But we have to have the look of the real place -- there's no way we're going to be able to fake out audiences." * * * * * ok, since they don't want to "fake out audiences", does that mean that they'll film some concert sequences here? maybe not the monterey pop concert , but they'll have to do some fillmore auditorium shots in the very least, won't they?! of course, my living room is still available. ;-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 10 Jun 1997 11:20:26 +0200 (MET DST) From: Holger Wahlen Subject: *etheridge* NMEC: Software to read digests Hi all, those of you who get the digest (or those who only get bounce because one has to deal with separate messages then, not because of the speed) might care for this: I have written a program for Windows (3.1 or higher) that allows to read digests more comfortably than with normal mail programs, with some of the advantages the bounce format has.

It will be strange knowing Deb is not here... Tell me about it - even when in work-and-other-concern-caused-lurkdom (how's that for a new one?) knowing that certain people were out there was a nice feeling. Part of that is gone now. The whole thing still has me reeling a little bit, but I guess I have been nostalgic about the way things once were, since I was skimming the archives the other night. There were names there repeatedly that have disappeared of late. The transience of the Internet striketh again, I suppose. But nonetheless, it is hard to keep myself from wondering where some of those lovely MEListers have gotten off to. Speaking of keeping tabs on listers, whose turn is it in the tag game. I tagged Jan, and Jan tagged Butercups (aka le Groovy) and Buttercups tagged Carol, right? So then who? I think someone neglected to take their turn. Oh well, since I'm in a living-in-the-past mood, I'm going to go check out the newest on th 80s server. (http://www.80s.com, in case you're interested.)

Hi all... For those of you who are local to Hamilton, Ontario there is a Melissa Etheridge Tribute Band called Yes I Am now playing locally... I've seen the band on two occasions and they do a great job...my boyfriend says it sounds just like Melissa...I on the otherhand (as the MLE fanatic of the household) can pick out all the subtle differences but still thoroughly enjoy the performance. I have built them a very brief page linked off my MLE page http://home.netinc.ca/~tbird/yesiam.htm It only contains upcoming gigs at this point, but we're working on getting a band bio etc. added. As I state on my page...if you need a Melissa fix (not that we're addicted or anything :-} ) check out this band. Take care....

We saw Melissa in the background! We kept watching and saw her and Julie walking and then someone stopped to interview Melissa - just as they were, Sandra Bullock walked by and they excitedly said hi to each other and hugged - no idea what Melissa said because we were screaming so much from the excitement and surprise of actually seeing Melissa! - can you tell we are still going through FF Melissa withdrawl?? :) Wished we could have taped it to see it again but oh well.

"news daily" will be shown at least 2 more times today/tomorrow for west coasters (or at least BAB'ers) who get the E! channel. i checked the local online TV listings through the SF chronicle website, and it said that E! "news daily" will be on again at 11:30 pm PST tonight and then at 3:30 am PST tomorrow morning. i believe that the 3:30 am PST showing will be a repeat of today's news, but don't quote me on that. also, E! does the E! "news in review", the hour long news wrapup shown several times during each w/e. you might spot MLE in this wrapup show. plus, keep your eyes peeled for special "speed 2" premiere shows, which are usually about 1/2 hour long. E! appears to do one for every "big" movie coming out (i just saw part of the "con air" one this w/e), so i'd be ready for one of these shows either this w/e or next. can i at least hope that the "speed 2" premiere show isn't hosted by the annoying melissa rivers? *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #106 ******************************* Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 04:02:08 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #107 etheridge-digest Thursday, June 12 1997 Volume 01 : Number 107 [none] *etheridge* POOH, MEIN & Toaster Ovens! *etheridge* NMEC- FF 97 RE: *etheridge* NMEC- FF 97 *etheridge* Speed 2 Premiere *etheridge* Darilyn Davidian *etheridge* a little Melissa content...

And no hangover the next morning. Hmmmm, it wasn't really the next morning considering we went to bed around 4am and got back up at 10.30. Thanks for the wake up call randy. :) And be sure to let me know when you have the video ready to roll. To tell you the truth, aside from a few group shots early on, i don't think the MEListers drank excessively. It was a fun time with a little drinking and a *lot* of food and friends and fun. And i bet patti drinks a tad less next year.... We still love you patti - you keep us in stitches. :) Although Renster did actually try alcohol. that was impressive. :) And next year, you're not gonna get off so easy...next year, we're keeping you around all night! And the Shirtgal, what more can we say....you're awesome! And fun. And you threw in some great quotes for sueD's notebook. Practice tying any knots lately.... I guess i'll quit rambling about this for now. Start planning now for next year's FF - it'll be around the same time. And last but not least, a *BIG* thanks to Melissa Etheridge. Without Melissa we wouldn't have had this opportunity to get together. And i wouldn't have some of the great friends that i have now. And i'd still be searching for my soulmate - i love you jud.

Good morning Listers! I've been realizing of late that it's been a long time since I posted anything of significance...not that I'm starting now! But I wanted to say thanks for Melissa sightings and other inspiring topics y'all send to my computer everyday. I know it gets said a lot, but you're an amzaing group of people - which I'm sure can't be said enough. So, since our MLE is rarely seen, I hope no one will be too offended or put out if I say outloud and in public that I love kd Lang's new CD. That's all I'm going to say about it. I know, there's a mailing list for this sort of thing, but you're about all my poor mail box can handle. Does it help if I say I still love Melissa more? Well I do. It's just that kd is, well, wow. Now, lest you think I'm being unfaithful to Our Lady Etheridge you should know that kd is not allowed in my little red pick up truck...that's where Missy lives in my little world. : ) I hope you're having wonderful days! - -- Imagine Peace, Jill "That which we are for strengthens us.

"daily news" thanks to tigerlily for the heads up on MLE's attendance at the "speed 2" premiere! i managed to tape the "speed 2" blurb during last night's repeat of E! "daily news" program (which thankfully *didn't* conflict with my taping of the last 10 minutes of the letterman show last night. ;-) ). there's at least 3 sightings of MLE and julie! the first 2 glimpses are very short: 1) during the sweeping shots of the crowd, the camera shows julie who is cracking up at something, while MLE is behind her smiling, and 2) there's a shot of MLE and julie walking to the post-premiere party. in the 3rd one, MLE actually speaks! the interviewer, todd newsome (i think that's his name), was asking MLE if she thought that they (sandra bullock and jason patric) did a good job on the movie. while MLE was responding, saying that they did a great job, sandra bullock walks by and punches/swats MLE in the shoulder! MLE says, "and there's sandy bullock now!" MLE and sandra hug, MLE says that sandra/the movie (couldn't tell) ROCKS , and as she walks away, sandra says, "i've got some tequila shots for you over here!" LOL! i couldn't really hear what MLE said back to her, but it sounded like she was going over to join sandra for some shots as soon as she was done with her short interview. melissa, you party animal! :-) [note: the above quotes are paraphrased from the top of my head, but i did watch the tape several times...] since MLE isn't doing anything presently, guess we'll be scouring the televised movie premieres or other hollywood functions this summer for any glimpses of her, sort of like playing "where's waldo?". boy, are we desperate or what? ;-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 11 Jun 1997 12:34:34 -0700 From: Jill Borden/ Jill Bateman Subject: *etheridge* song sighting Desparate?

First let me say that in the past few years, i've had some major things happening in my life, some good, some very good and some real bad ones.. Jeez, hold on a sec..Havta get back in the mood again, so let me just recap that mood again.. Imagine...You're in a train back from work and the weather is kinda gloomy and sad and and suddenly you hear talking to my angel.. I always liked the song but somehow today it like meant something more then it already did..I'm hopefully facing another big change in my life very soon and I was kinda thinking about that and the song just meant more to me by the minute..Like it was saying: hey, it's ok, you're doing the right thing, you've done the right thing..It's time to stop running and face everything..But it's also time to move on.. Anyway what i wanted to say was, that it was like I was talking to my angel through that song..That's all.. I know it sounds corney and all, but just wanted to share it with people who might understand.. So, maybe i'll go back to lurking again and maybe i'll write more..

Although we were part of the obsessed living room crowd, what a great way to spend an evening....obsessing with other MLE fanatics.

"daily news"...i don't want people to get all disappointed about missing this, because, frankly, we're talking a TOTAL of about 10-15 seconds of MLE/julie time. the MLE segments are *fleeting*, at best. the first two shots are about 2 seconds long a piece. the "interview" (if you could call it that) is about 5 seconds long (maybe 10 seconds). she doesn't talk about music! the cameraperson didn't do a very good job of framing MLE during the "interview". once sandra bullock walks by, the camera switches from MLE to her. MLE's hand appears in the right hand side of the frame when sandra's talking about those tequila shots she's got waiting for her. it's more the surprise factor of actually seeing video of MLE and julie than any real archival value that makes this all fun. :-) *rhondda* "i've got you under my chicken" -- bono, 6/10/97 ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 11 Jun 1997 21:15:36 -0400 From: Sue Molyneaux Subject: *etheridge* Rogue Market - sorta MEC Hi all We've found this really interesting site, http://roguemarket.com/ which allows you to buy and sell stocks of your favourite stars.

Hey Melisters! Regardless of rumors being sent out concerning bears vacationing and streaking through the streets of Rehoboth may I make this disclaimer! I was wearing a smile! :) And still am! :) And if ever you get the chance to be here in Delaware I must say come and rest and enjoy for your soul will thank you and your heart will sing once again and all I can say for advice is: "Bring Along The Sun Block!" For yes, now I match my little red vest all over! And the feets are truly a tender place to burn! Don't Do It! No! No! No! It is the soul that needs the strength to survive the desert when the well is dry and the calmest place I know is where the gulls soar and the ocean speaks of how small we are and how truly we are one with each other and yes there are mermaids and yes there are spirits that live even when the well of your souls have run dry. And when we stop and look in the sand there are more than footprints and shells upon the shore for there in the midst of it all stands a bear who knows she is a part of the ocean, the sky and with a heart full once again takes off in flight with the gulls to new heights and new adventures and new places to ponder and share with you! As always you have all held me close and watched as this bear comes out of the storm and into the sky to fly with mended wings!

It's funny, though, how easy it is to talk to those who recognize the same passion and truth in her words. I was listenning to This War is Over earlier in the night, it was the last song she sang at her montreal concert when she came in with a Habs jersey. She gives me such an urge to cry sometimes, especially when I realize how true her words are. I'm just graduating cegep (screwed up Quebec education system) and may be going to study overseas next year or into McGill in a program where I'll be buried in my books for five years. It isn't even the fact that I know I have to find closure that is bothering me. You see, me and two other girls have been best friends for fifteen years now, I'd never have believed it possible. I still get along well with one but am worried about my friendship with the other. Perhaps we have spent too much time together and need some distance but she'll be moving to Chicago in less than two months and I'll probably never live in the same city as her again. I don't have the will to admit that there is only so hard I could try, my war is over. I want to keep fighting, I wish I could let her now, but I've tried and she won't listen. So we go out with a few people, exchange smiles and small talk, and the true friendship that was once their seems to have been lost. If only she saw what is being destroyed more and more every day, our time to build is so limited and friendship so precious. I didn't cry when I heard it in concert because, back then, I had faith that I would never give up on something so important to me. Only now it seems as though I don't have the choice.

She'll only do it for people on this list - but hey, she can't go to everything she's invited to, can she!

Yeah, we are pretty awesome aren't we? Now if Melissa were only left handed, she would be even better (ok real fans, I'm j/k). It was a treat talking to you and Jill (the teacher with a lot of class). Yep, lets talk soon. Patti, thank you ever so much for picking me up and dropping me off at the airport. I do have one question however - is your car dry now? That was pretty funny, I must have still had a smile on my face when I got to security, because when I laid down my luggage and purse on the conveyor thinging, the guard asked to take a look inside my purse. I don't know why he was so suspicious, it's a small purse. I did have quite a few things in there though and it was bulging, the purse was....oh well. So much for that southern hospitality. SueD, it was great seeing you again, hopefully it won't take another 9 months or so to party it up once more. Randy, glad to have met you. You are a real sweetheart! Joyce, the Shirt Gal, thanks for that little talk we had. I hope your schedule isn't too hectic that you can't have a little fun too. And you're getting to be quite the little punster too - I like that. If anyone sees Raunch, tell her that I'm sorry that I kept her up (the rest of you can guess at that one) Saturday night. And tell her that she's a great little punster also. Ya see, I bring out the pun in everyone.....:) That's my goal in life, ya know....LOL! I did get the FF pictures back yesterday and some of them are pretty good, especially the group shots. Well, I hope I didn't forget anybody, if I did I apologize. Take care ya'll!

JoAnn, Liz and Maysie... Oh dear ones. If there is one thing I have learned in my time on this list it is that none of us are alone. We all have each other. The sadness you feel in your life will pass eventually if you give yourself the time to let it go. Pump up the volume on your Melissa tapes or CDs and let your hair loose. Sing along at the top of your lungs and don't be afraid of who's listening. We're all here for each other through good times and bad times. Give yourself some rest and close your eyes to the world around you. Everything will be all right. Fate protects fools, little children, ships called Enterprise and Melissa Etheridge fans, so have peace.

Words of wisdom from friends I've never met, but they mean sooooooo much. You see...my mom had a stroke tuesday night. It's too early to really know the extent of the damage, but she's had MS for the last 20 years, so this is very difficult on my family. To top off my stress....I quit my job yesterday. That's a story all in itself, but suffice to say...good riddence!!! I'll be happier outta there! Right now I'm listening to Never Enough.....once again looking to Melissa for strength when I need it. Her words are ringing so true this morning. "Sometimes I feel like it's never enough. Survival is fine , but satisfaction is rough". As usual, she's here when I need her.....and now I have you all too. Thanks! OK...on to happier stuff!!! I'm getting my new Melissa tattoo today!!! The NE cover...on my left calf!! I can't wait! My appt. is at 1:30 this afternoon, and just seems years away!!!!! LOL I also got autographed by Joan Jett weds. night. That will also be made permanant today. Looks like my left side is gonna be kinda sore tomorrow!!! One more quick note....anyone interested in copies of my personal MLE video compilaton, please e-mail me & let me know. It will include "Storytellers", "Duets", "Unplugged", and a couple of videos. I have "Roots, Rock & Roll" also, but the sound quality SUCKS!!! Anyone have a decent copy I could borrow to add it to my video???? Obviously (since I'm unempolyed now) I have some free time this wknd, so I will be working hard on my video!! Meanwhile....back at the beach......HEY POOH!!!! I grew up in DE, and Rehobeth is the best beach around!!!! Glad you picked such a great spot to vacation!! ENJOY!!!!

It's is 1 minute long, 4.5 mgs in size & with a 28.8 modem will take around 30 minutes to download (I'm guessing) You must be able to receive a file of that size & of course it helps if you are able to play .avi files on your computer. If you are interested in getting this file, send me email with a head that says "IG AVI" & the email name you want it sent to. Since it takes a while to upload I am going to wait about a week to compile names & then send it out to everyone at once.

Okay, well, see, this is what happened--I'm dating this guy who I really love a lot, but it's a long distance relationship, so I start seeing other people...and I'm very honest from the beginning with everyone that this is the situation. Well, I meet this wonderful, fun, funny, beautiful woman, and we start seeing each other. Well, this lasts for 3 weeks (ONLY 3 weeks) when she decides she wants a commitment. Hell, she asked me to move in with her. When I said no, I was in love with someone else (which I told her in the beginning) she got angry, then sad. She cried and sang "Come to My Window" to me before I left her house that day. Anyway, that was my moment. She and I still talk, she still says she'll wait for him to break my heart...she'll wait as long as it takes. Meanwhile I'm moving considerably closer to him in about 5 days. We'll see what happens.

Hm, I'm married since last august but sometimes before I recognized that I also could have feelings for women. This year in april I met an american girl online and after a while ( btw, a short while ) we both had the feeling that we fall in love. It was a wonderful time and she knew that I was married, and that I've had some problems with my hubby. I never told her lies, she always knew that I still have had feelings for my hubby, too. It was such a strange situation, especially after my hubby found out about it. Then I tried to find out about my feelings - it was rather hard. The problem was that my american girl and me just have had contact online and by phone ( rather expensive..grr..) so I was too afraid to make a decision for her. Well, it was more strange and more filled with pain than I could explain now but we both are Melissa fans so we shared a lot of songs together. And after we had to let each other go I went through such a hard time - only Melissas songs were able to give me strengh and will to live on. Now its quite a while ago and I still listen to the special songs and still I have the blues sometimes. I'm still together with my hubby and after some things happened I knew that I did the right decision to stay with him. We still try to repair our relationship and I know that it will take time to go through. I want to say that most of the songs Melissa wrote I'm sure she just wrote for me - how could she even know about the pain I went through ??? I love her and will ever be grateful for the strengh she gave to me. Thats my story about heartache and Melissa songs.... But I think "Sometimes its never enough..."

It was opened with Crystal Bernard and Billy Dean and then came the big guns Martina McBride and Little Texas. I don't know if any of you are country music fans, but this was a great concert. Tonight the Indigo Girls will be here, but I don't have tickets, even though there are a few left if any of you happen to be in the Detroit area (It's at Pine Knob). I must say, as enjoyable as it was, it couldn't compare to half of the joy I feel when listening to Melissa. :) Well, that's all I gots to say.

Thanks to rhondda for listing possible times to catch those snippets of Melissa. I've been taping, but haven't caught her yet. The following was in the Boise paper the other day, hope y'all don't mind that I typed the thing in, editing out some stuff about the other Janis movie. Used without permission. By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith. Tribune Media Services. (The Public Eye?) HOLLYWOOD-...the planned Lakeshore/Paramount Joplin film starring Melissa Etheridge with Marc Rocco directing. Rocco has claimed his version will be "the seminal, edgy movie about Janis"and not "a candy-coated, estate-approved version of the story." But [other Janis film producer] Newman insists their Joplin biopic will be far from candy-coated. "Janis broke the mold not only musically but behaviorally and there's a tremendous amount of alcohol and drugs and every kind of sex in the film. One of her great lovers was a woman, so there's a tremendous amount of lesbian sex...You couldn't tell the story correctly without that. The gloves are absolutely off with our film and we have the full blessing of the Joplin family"... Newman says he's not worried about the other biopic starring Etheridge, which was reportedly heading for a summer start. "Our film is going to stress the acting......And the other film, not having an actress in the lead part, is going to stress the music."

Producer Peter Newman reports that the script is ready, a fall start is likely, and" a lot of hot young actors are fighting, trying to get into the film" which Nancy Savoca directs...( some stuff about Joaquin Phoenix, Dogfight..blah blah..) now the important part.."TriStar's $20 million Joplin biopic, which has the full cooperation of the late singer's family, is competing with the planned Lakeshore/Paramount Joplin film starring Melissa Etheridge with Marc Rocco directing.

I had no idea you were so desperate for a lesbian demographic. Times have sure changed..drugs alcohol and a "tremendous amount of lesbian sex" (??!!) Perhaps they need Susie Bright as an umm.. advisor ;)... as long as there are no dinosaurs or volcanoes in it, I'll be happy. 2. Newman: "Our film is going to stress the acting"..Ouch!..I guess the gloves really *are* off...I guess that would mean Lili can't sing hmmm?...........Maybe both films will be shot here.. What do you think fellow fans? So long for now.btw....hey bab'ers, who's going to the film fest and parade?

I still get the blues after all this time. Two and a half months after the love of my life Grant broke me into tiny pieces. Wow. There are times when I go crazy and I start crying and then there are times when I call him up and we talk and talk and talk like we've been best friends forever. Or in other words... Sometimes, I know that it's never enough... but then other times... Like tonight... I have all my ME disks in my CD player at once and started playing them. When it got to Yes I Am, I started playing along with every song, and I kept playing them up through the first song from YLS... then I had to get up and DANCE and go CRAZY to the tune of "I Really Like You"... I feel like all the demons have been cleansed out of my soul and I'm starting clean... And I know all the demons will come back to get me eventually. I can only run for so long but Melissa makes the journey so much better... In two months when I go back to school, maybe just maybe there's a beautiful young woman out there who's in the market for a Melissa Etheridge fan with so much passion in her she can hardly breathe sometimes... But until then, I'll keep rocking out my frustrations to the tune of Melissa Etheridge. Remember, if you're ever feeling frustrated or sad or hurt, there's a woman out there who can lose all your demons and tear off your chains if you just let her.

Hey list, Hi. Well I put a new twist on the mango thing saturday at work. First off I work at the Beach Hut and we serve icees (shaved ice with flavoring on top). Well saturday was real slow so I decided that I would have a little taste test and low and behold we have MANGO ICEES!!!!!!! Well of course I had to try one and boy was it good, and I know just who I want to give one to........well besides melissa! Also since we are all having ablast listen to melissa's music (since it is all we have at the moment) i thought you all might be interested in some pretty unknow women singers who sound really good. First there is Disappear Fear, they sound kind of like IG, but with ME lyrics. I would recommened there self titled cd to start off with it has some great lyrics on it. "I hold out my hand, it starting to shake, my loves on the line, I fear my heart break." I love them!! Janet McLauglin is next. She sounds like Carole King somewhat. On her first track off of Dancing, the IG join in to help with the vocals, the song is entitled "Soild Ground." Here is a sampling of her lyrics..... ----"When you feel like a ship that's been lost at sea, and all the locks have been changes, and you don't have a key. When your whole world is spinning round, and you don't dare move 'cause you might fall down, Baby I'll be your soild ground." Then there is Tammy Fowler and her cd is named Making Faces. Her slower songs are best for example "What You Need" and "Baby I Swear" are wonderful. A sampling of her lyrics is "I'm not denying our feeling are real. When I look in your eyes I am well aware of how I feel." You can order Tammy Fowler and Janet McLaughlin off the internet at the Rainy Day Records site. They offer three day shipment and did a great job with my order. They are based in Atlanta, Ga so you folks can just drive to the store lucky you! Well you all have great days and keep the ME sightings coming!!!!!!! - ---Holly "I'll give you what you want, I just want to know what you need." -Fowler ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Jun 1997 11:19:24 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: Re: *etheridge* Katerina Witt Hi- Just had to comment that your sig had me laughin my ass off....I saw the movie the other night, thought it was hilarious.

I feel that having MLE in the lead, singing the music herself, and *not* being an actress, will be the key to the MLE/JC version coming out on top of these two flicks. JJ was such a raw personality...IMO, someone who has not de- voted her life to training as an actress just might have a better chance of pulling off this part than someone who is polished and has 'learned' how to portray certain characteristics. MLE, being closer to JJ as far as their shared passion for music, might just be more attuned to JJ's life and heart and soul than someone who is a 'good actress'. How much of the same temptation does Newman's actress (can't remember her name) actually have in common with JJ? MLE has said before that she's been faced with some of the same situations--namely booze and drugs--as JJ (and that she turned her back on those things--although she understands how easy it is to be sucked in by them), and MLE has also admitted that she was far from monogomous early in her career. I can't help but think that MLE is going to do herself proud in this movie. I have to say, however, that what I'm apprehenisve about is Julie's writing. I haven't been too impressed with what I've seen so far... CHAOS asks: [RE: Katarina Witt Routine] >do you happen to remember which song she skated to? ITOO...the first time she skated to it, she looked hot, IMO. After that, it became boring. marcy returned: >Subject: *etheridge* E! > >YAY! I got it! Melissa and Julie at the premiere to Speed 2.

I was under the impression that after an artist (of any media) is dead for 20 years, their work becomes public property? How has JJ's family restricted MLE's use of some of her music in Rocco's film? Also, will Big Brother and the Holding Co. appear in MLE's movie? Well, kids...that's it for now. It could be another year before I post again (it certainly seems as though it's been that long!)...or it could be another day. Y'all hang on the edge of your seats now, y'hear? :-) Oh, yeah...one more MLE-related item...I just saw a Polygram compilation last night with MLE singing YLS...can't remember the name of it, though, or who else was on it. I'll get back to you with it, though. I *still* haven't found that karaoke tape, though!

I am relaxing after a gig last night and a radio appearance (can you "appear" on radio?????) on Friday AM. Ah, the musician's life! Heh-heh, it's all true, everything, yep, especially the starving part! ;-) Anyway, last night I was playing outdoors, only about 2 blocks away from where Crystal Gayle was playing...also outdoors. So I keep hearing this distant "Don't it make my brown eyes blue....." thing until Crystal was kind enough to finish early. It was really funny. ANYWAY, (I am known for my rambling), the reason for this message is to make an offer for all of you who expressed interest in getting a sample of my music. Hopefully some of you will like it. So here's the deal: I will send a tape to the first 25 people who e-mail me, and then send a padded SASE (takes .78 postage in US). I was going to tree this, but we run a recording studio, so I can actually do it easier right here, and you all get a direct-from-CD cassette. On the tape I will put 3 solo acoustic songs (from my "Live and On Her Own" cassette) and 3 unrealeased (as of yet) studio songs from my CD that will be out in September. ( This is still un-mastered, meaning it sounds good, but not quite as good as the real CD will sound in sound quality terms).Anyhoo, you get samples from 2 different albums, and if you like it, you can support this poor starving singer, heh-heh. (I am in a wild/weird mood today, kids!) ;-) AND, you don't even have to send a tape, we have plenty here. Just e-mail me, send the SASE, and the tape is yours. *Special* bonus: First 5 people will get a free poster with their tape. I will hold this offer open until next Sunday, June 22nd. If I exceed 25 requests, I will get the first done, and then post again for anyone else who wants one. Here is the address: Suzanne Glass Offer Throwing Stones Records PO Box 602 Columbus, IN 47202 Thanks all, I love this list!

This has nothing to do with MLE, but I, actually we, need everyone's prayers. I live near Detroit, Michigan, home of the Detroit Red Wings. Well, our spirits were soaring after winning the Stanley Cup, but that high soon ended. You see, two days ago, two of our Detroit Red Wings, Vladimir Konstantinov and Slava Fetisov, their masseur, Sergei Mnatsakanov (sp?), and their limo driver, not sure of his name, were in a terrible car accident. The word is that there was a stalled car in the middle of the street and the limo driver didn't notice it until it was too late, so he tried to swerve, and hit a tree head on. He was wearing his seat belt and the airbag saved him from major injury, just cuts and bruises. Fetisov also had minor injuries and is supposed to be released from the hospital tomorrow. Unfortunately, both Vlady and Sergei had severe head injuries and are now clinging to life. They're both unconscious at this time. Everyone's prayers are needed, even if you're not a fan of hockey or the Detroit Red Wings. The sad thing is that all this may have been avoided. Apparently, the limo driver was driving on a license that had been revoked at the end of last year. Why he was driving, no one knows. The limo company swears they didn't know it was revoked. Rumors are spreading that there wasn't even a car in the road. Only he knows what really happened and he sure ain't talking. Well, now that I've got that out, I ask once again that you pray for these two men. Thanks and sorry that this is so long.

Liz and Mich are the most amazing cooks and hostesses. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting many many MElisters and lots of Liz and Mich's friends. SueD, well you are my "first" lister that I have partied with 3 times, and it gets better every time. Montreal, New York, and now Austin. Liz warned me that last year you didn't quite "make it", but this year I am pleased that you were conscious the entire time. I guess next year Patti will have to take some instruction from you. Kare, the Punster, I too enjoyed our little talk, its sad that we don't all live much closer so these get togethers could be a little longer and a little more frequent. As for me getting to be a good punster, well I really only came up with one good one the whole weekend, but I'll pay a little more attention, and try to improve before we meet again. Patti, you are awesome!! I'll get wet with you anytime, ;-> I'm talking about the car you guys...... remember the torrential downpour? Raunch, hopefully I'll see you in a few weeks, I will get you those names and numbers for your road trip, looks like Dave and Glenna are going to drop in this month too, this will be an awesome summer for lister visits!!! Jill, I am so sorry you left early, I would have loved to chat with you some more, you are a real sweeheart and I'd love the chance to get to know you better, next year if we all make it again you absolutely MUST stay in Austin. Renster, you are cute as a button and I am sorry that you left early too, I'd love the chance to party with you again, and btw, I'll look into that cinnamon stuff for you, it is quite the delicious refreshment, but be careful, it becomes more potent as it ages!!! Randy, I wish I could have seen your face at some point last weekend, every time I looked at you you had a camera attached to your eye, you rock woman, hope we meet again soon! Patty & Cindy, Tiger Lily you guys are great! You crack me up. We ate, drank, did some tummy signing, watched Melissa videos, chatted, played hacky sack, (well I tried but wasn't coordinated enough to actually make contact with the bleepin bean bag), did "Mean People Suck" toasts with Shirl and Patty on the phone, (Shirl, I miss you sooooo much!!!)and when the tequila finally caught up with me, I sat outside, closed my eyes and attempted to sing along with Trent as he played guitar. Sometime shortly after 3 am my alarm on my watch rang to signify 24 hours of being awake, it was around that time that I started drinking copious amounts of water, took several extra strength tylonol, and got ready for bed. The nights were short but thats ok, cause it meant I got to spend some more time with these wonderful people, sad goodbyes Sunday afternoon when SueD, Patti and Rachel left, but it gave me the chance to wind down and spend some time with Liz and Mich. We drank the bottle of wine donated by American Airlines, went for a drive and had some ice cream and then Liz and I sat out in the thunder storm until after midnight, you are a complete doll Liz. Then after chatting some more, at least until 1:30, I finally went to sleep. Little did I know that two of the ladies' furry friends Maverick and Zeke (sp?) would be waking me up sometime around 6:00 am because that is their usual feeding time. All I knew was that I was in this peaceful sleep and then was being perpetually swatted on the nose my a fuzzy little paw. It took me a moment to focus on this brown and black little aggressor, only to have him joined by the grey kitty Mav. Between the swatting and the purring at me, I had no choice but to get up. At least I had the chance to say my thanks and goodbyes to Mich who was getting ready for work. I went back to sleep for a bit until Liz popped in with Kelly the dog. Liz and Mich have the greatest family of pets. So here we were at 7:00 am, awake and raring to go, ok maybe not raring, but we were awake, then Liz treated me to my first viewing of Teresa's Tatoo. Yeah!!! Not the best film I have ever seen, but it was great to finally see the much talked about movie. With a little motivation Liz and I finally got our poop together and I packed up my bag and we went for lunch before Liz took me to the airport. A definate highlight of my weekend was most certainly the party on Saturday night, but even more important than all the tequila and fajitas was the most wonderful people that I spent my time with. I don't think in my life I have ever met a better group of people than those I have met through this list. I thank - you all for being who you are and I thank Dave and Glenna for having given us this amazing place that has bred these wonderful friendship. For now, I have to be satisfied with contact through e-mail, but I look forward to he next time that I get to spend some time with my MElisters friends. My e-mail server was down pretty well the whole week before the FF, so if you sent me mail between June 1 and June 7, I never got it, so I ask that you please re-send. Thats all for now for me, busy week ahead then I am off to Toronto on business from the 26th - the 29th, then about 36 hours in Montreal to say hi to mom and dad and then back to Calgary on the 1st of July. Super busy summer ahead, but for anyone passing through the Rockies, don't hesitate to let me know, we'll have to catch up for a chat. Take care y'all (I learnt that in Texas), Joyce ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 16 Jun 1997 02:04:35 -0400 From: [email protected] (Roger Zender) Subject: *etheridge* Melissa Book Import??? Hey everyone, I remember everyone talking about another Melissa book (Other than Joyce's) written by some author of a newspaper. Well, when I was working at the Record store that I work at (how obvious), I noticed a Book avialable via import titled "Melissa Etheridge: The Only One." and I was wondering if this was the title of that "other" book available by that author. If not, then I imagine that i've stumbled across quit a find. :o So if anyone knows, please let me know if they are the same book!!! Otherwise, I can try to order it. I found it through an *import* company called "Phantom." And the catalog # is 12730 so if anyone knows about it *please* let me know. And if it's the other one written by the Newspaper guy, then I'll pass, Otherwise (sorry to be redundant, I'll get it).

In the article, Melissa briefly discusses the Janis Joplin biopic and her acting. The following is a short excerpt from the article, reprinted without permission. A LITTLE PIECE OF HER HEART By Jae-Ha Kim Call it poetic justice. Ever since she released her major-label debut eight years ago, Melissa Etheridge has been compared to Janis Joplin. And next year, the singer-songwriter will portray Joplin on the big screen. The two-time Grammy winner wouldn't mind adding an Oscar to her trophy collection, but she is well aware that Hollywood is littered with the discarded carcasses of good rockers turned bad actors. So she lets out a hearty laugh when asked, "CAN YOU ACTUALLY ACT?" "Yeah, I think so," Etheridge said. "Acting has always been an interest of mine, and I've taken acting lessons on and off for a long time. This year, I've been taking serious classes and I found that in many basic ways, the process of acting comes from the same place as music. When I write music, I have to go to a truthful place of honesty and emotion, and then I channel it out that way." Pausing, she added, "I wouldn't tackle the project if I didn't think I could handle it. I'm not that much of a masochist." Her thespian pals Ellen DeGeneres and Brad Pitt also have encouraged her to give acting a shot. "Brad was really supportive of the whole project," she said. "He said, "You'll be great. You just do what you do and hope they use it." Sylv (who's wondering just how much of a masochist MLE really is! :-)) ====================================== .....It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever. ~Jeff Buckley~ ====================================== ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Jun 1997 23:40:36 -0700 From: "Rhondda L.

IMO, i think that a portion of the potential audience will go see the movie(s) based on seeing this activity on the screen, just as i'm sure that some will go to see the lesbian sex or some will go to see the musical reinactments. whether it's a huge selling point remains to be seen, i guess. i'm not sure how you would measure which aspect of janis' life draws people to the theatres (after movie poll perhaps?). >How much of the same temptation does Newman's actress >(can't remember her name) lili taylor - "mystic pizza", "say anything..."

Hi all Yes the other book about Melissa is called "Melissa Etheridge..The Only One" by Chris Nickson.This is an unauthorized biography. Nickson, who has written biographies on Mariah Cary, Brad Pitt, and Keanu Reeves, now turns his pen to Melissa. This book is a well rounded account of Melissa's triumphant personal and professional journey into music history.

Haven't been around of late due to heavy gigging commitments.

I wonder what rumours we could start to send them up!!! (This is only a game!)

Hellooooooo MElisters, I supose I may get flamed for this, but....... I must agree with Laura. Not only did I NOT recieve a set of posting rules when I joined this list, I had a hard time even posting in the beginning! It seems that there have been a lot of new listers, like myself, who havn't been on-line that long. Of course I can't speak for everyone, but I'm still learning all the cool things I can do with my 'puter. Including posting on the list, clipping properly in responses, sending files, and basically using everything available to me on this incredible medium! Speaking for myself, I LOVE THIS LIST!!! I've not made any assumptions about the people here, except (of course) that we all love MLE. The folks I've corresponded with seem genuine. Sometimes we all need to talk about what's going on in our lives. Often it helps to get objective views from people who don't know you personally. If that's boring to some, then skip the post. Just remember..... "take a walk inside my shoes, a path I didn't choose spend the night inside of my skin" "touch, touch what I feel, and know I believe everything I say" "I could have been you" MLE Meanwhile.....be good to each other, ok?

Remember me?? Poohster here. Hiding as a brown beach bear! :) Well you all sure have been a busy bunch of peoples haven't you. What can I say but that I go away and you deal with sadness and list manners. Whew! Let me drop a few lines in here and let you know that when life is too much and sadness creeps into your hearts one needs to close your eyes and breathe deep and realize you lived through it! And you are a better person for it. For you are still standing and are stronger than ever. Sometimes when sadness overcomes me I crawl out on a limb of my favorite oak tree and see how small I am to be held in the arms of nature. This time I decided to see how very, very small I am at the shore of the ocean. In the depths are tormoils and nothing is as vast as the waters around you when you stand there at its shore. Even so, when you step back and take a look, on the beach you will always find small treasures offered up by the rough waters as gifts to warm your heart and teach you once again to smile. There is nothing on this earth that can harm you or touch you once you find your center and it is filled with love. As the sun sets into the ocean in the evening hours one can see or hear one of two things. The hissing of the sun as it cools itself and is embraced by the ocean or the sweet sigh of relief as the ocean takes hold of the sun and holds it for yet another night. As for BeachDeb and Rehoboth beach. All I can say is if ever you go to Delaware and visit Rehoboth one must see the sweet smile of Ms. Jones and bask in the sun and her kindness for she truly will show you how to smile again and warm your heart with the sunshine of her smile. And one more thing, if you post her don't believe everything she tells ya about bears at the beach and paws full of dollars for the slot machines!! :) Well maybe you can believe some of it! :) It is good to be back and enjoy the words from your hearts. Sincerely, "POOH" P.S. As for list rules. I have always felt and know it to be true that if you say things to people that you would want said to you it is a better way to converse. Take head from your sandbox days and know that if you are kind and share your toys you will probably get to laugh and play freely instead of sitting alone and crying to be able to touch the toys you have never seen before.

I think that this group of people is the kindest, most compasionate, helpful, and experienced will healing wounds that I have EVER meet or heard of. I posted about a month ago during a very painful time for me. In return I got around 20 letters wishing me well and giving helpful advice from those who had been in my shoes. They helped me tremedously! I tried but never got to thank everyone, so thank you. Some people have no other place to go but this list for help and guidance. No matter what some people may think this list has grown into a family. We came togeather to honor Melissa and her music, that was our common bond. Now we share so much more, our sorrows, happiness, new cars, stories of old cars, loves, compassion, tattoos, and so much more. We share our lives togeather. We have become a family.......and I am damn proud to call myself one of your sisters or aunts whatever you need. I know you all where here for me in my time of need and it made me strong enough face the next day. If I can ever do that for someone on this list I will, and I know that there are others out there who will do the same for each and everyone out there. Now that we are living to see 2 second melissa moments why not help out the fellow listers with a kind word of encouragment. Mother Teresa once said "Kind words are short and easily spoken, but remembered for a life time" I will always carry around you all in my heart and computer. ..........One more thing........there is an info list only for those of you out there who don't like all of the *personal ramblings* but for me I like tham just fine!

FYI, her list was specifically referring to list topics that have caused flame wars in the past, hence her "You have summoned the ghost of flames past, eh" comment. the "eh" is the topper, btw. ;-) there are many topics that one just shouldn't discuss on mailing lists - religion, politics, abortion, etc. - without risking a flame war because they really push people's buttons. >> 6. ... share boring and meaningless personal ramblings >> 8. ... wish each other happy Christian or American holidays > >lighten up. again, kate was referring to topics that have caused flame wars in the past. not everyone on this list is christian or american - the last fact should be blatantly obvious because our list owners are canadian (the ".ca" in the list web site means the server is in canada), and the list goes through a server in germany (search esosoft in interNIC). also, wishing all listers a "happy easter" or "merry christmas" have caused a few toasty list moments in the past. ;-) >> 9. ... make assumptions about other listers' sexuality > >does anyone's sexuality matter? it shouldn't, but you wouldn't believe how many times many list folk have assumed that 1) all listers are female and 2) since all listers are female, then all listers are gay. i'm not saying that skategrrl did this, but again this is another one of those things that have caused flame wars in the past. if the newer people are wondering why several people (sarah, kate, jen, and now me) are exasperated with the list lately, it's because it's turned into one big sappy therapy session, IMO. damn, even the tired, old "which covers should MLE do" thread is looking mighty interesting right now! i'm seriously tempted to track MLE down while i'm in LA next w/e, slap her silly, and tell her to do *something*, because we're sorely desperate for a topic! :-) since i'm of the feeling that one shouldn't complain about something without offering a solution to the problem, how about the following list topics? 1) what's your favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? 2) what's your least favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? 3) tell us about your first/favorite/worst MLE concert. 4) if joyce luck was going to brew another batch of homebrew, what MLE-related thing would you name it? ;-) if i had the time before my vacation, i'd post one of my outstanding YCSWID tour reports (3 and 1 wrapup left), but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon. *rhondda* "october...talk getting nowhere...november...december... remember...are we just starting again?" -- U2, "please" ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 17 Jun 1997 15:42:09 -0400 From: Deborah Jones Subject: *etheridge* Pooh's Vacation Well, I see the infamous Pooh has made it home safely..

It would be called: "Pooh-Brew!" :-) Rhondda, thanks for clarifying Kate's post. I, also, thought it was hilarious. For the doubtful: she's not exaggerating. In the past, this list has indeed degenerated into flames over the very items mentioned. Kate's post was good-humored in intention. It is not a bad idea for folks who are new to the list to go through the archives. I don't think it's necessary to go all the way back to 1992 , but I think I remember reading somewhere once (in some sort of "Guide to the Internet" thingy) that, when joining a mailing list, it is expected that you read the list's FAQ and any archived posts from the past 6 months before hopping into the discussion. That way you learn the expected list etiquette, and you don't bring up for discussion topics that have already been run into the ground. I would say reading the archives from 1996 would be worth it...and a lot of fun, as MLE was touring then. To the new listers' credit, I'm not so sure since we aren't coming from McGill any longer, that the FAQ is automatically sent out to new subscribers now? If not, perhaps it ought to be?

It's an extensive and wonderfully written list of facts about MLE..which did my little heart some good! But all this brings up an interesting point. Now, I've got to tell you, I've been sitting on my (albeit pee-on) journalist hands since Kate sent her gently poignant, good-natured post...please don't pin this on the fact that I'm an American beacause I've been all over the world, and I've yet to find a person who doesn't love their freedom of speech. There... I said it! If you have the ability to get around these off topic posts through digest or info only subscription...how can free speech collide with your good taste? Now, I don't make it my goal in life to open cans of worms, dear friends, but the lid was open when I got here!! Okay, lousy excuse...how about a solution in the wonderful spirit of Rhondda! Everyone who is sick and tired of non Melissa content, add some! Otherwise a void will be filled...make the effort. Put on your thinking caps and make up rumors! Speculate, wish, writer her letters for all of us to read. Fill my mailbox with Melissa content, then when one of us crashes and needs some wing mending, it won't feel quite so burdensome. When someone's baby comes, we can all sing about it. What do y'all say to striking a balance?

That's OK, mine calls it a sickness. Go figure? I will tell you all my deepest darkest > secret... I don't like the lyrics to "IWCO" on the YLS CD. I know, > everyone loves it, it's hackneyed as hell on the local radio stations. > I just don't like it. Call me insensitive, up here in the north we > call it stalking. I felt the same about "Watching You" when I was a wee girl of thirteen, someone sitting outside waiting and watching for this person to come out or do something or go somewhere, always seemed kind of creepy. BUt on the other hand I kind of related to the passion of someone who would do such a thing, I thought MLE kind of impressive for singing about that kind of love, self-destructive and incredibly powerful. For some reason that really spoke to me. It does in IWTCO... Best lyric? From YUTLTD "YOu need the steel and the concrete beams in your life" and ALL the imagery from ATWTH... Worst lyric, gotta be the entire of 2001... hate to say it but that song just drives me nuts Name of the beer? How about "Purple fringed jacket"? hehe.

Subject: *etheridge* Lyrics >1) what's your favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? My absolute favorite lyric (though I am partial to many) is: "Your love was here / But now it's gone / And your eyes no longer want me / And now I can't / hold back the dawn / And the truth that seems to haunt me." I think this line shows a great deal about getting over denial; finally giving up on someone that you've loved for a very long time, finally taking those last steps to get over them. It's a terrifying process and it's something you really try hard to ignore or hold back, but in the end you do have to pick up and move on, otherwise you're only harming yourself by it. It goes through so many emotions, fear, acceptance, denial, sadness, and it's only two short lines. That's what I really like about Melissa; she writes things with a great deal of impact to them. >2) what's your least favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? I don't have a least favorite lyric that I can think of -- but if anyone knows what she means by "the late September dogs"????? That's one I'd love to hear explained. >3) tell us about your first/favorite/worst MLE concert. Never been... arrrrrrrgggghhhhh....!!!!!!!!

Two years in August, is that enough? I feel like I've been here half of my life! =D ) and for this I shall be ever grateful to her. (Grateful to Kate as well, for starting it all off!) Brava ladies, brava. Rhondda also shared: > the list web site contains a great wealth of information. dave and > glenna have done a *fantastic* job of compiling all of this > information in one handy spot. i'm constantly going there to read > the archives, probably because i'm just a wee bit sentimental > lately. i urge everyone who hasn't visited the web site to drop > whatever they are doing, and go now! And the amen corner shouts "Amen" again! (Ooops, does that count as a discussion of Christianity?? ROFL) The website is an absolute gem - an opinion which I have shared with Ms. Vinokur, brave listowner and *designer* of said website. And speaking of the archives, I too have beeen sentimental lately (must be a pregnant thing) and spent more hours than I intended on Friday evening, sitting and poring over the days when I first joined the list, and re-reading some of the stupid things that I had said, and noting the beginnings of some wonderful net friendships, with seven listers especially, and they know who they are! ;-) Not to mention reading posts from names no longer with us, and formerly talkative listmembers who have seemingly disappeared. . . (glad to see a comeback post from JJ, just when I was thinking she was gone too!) On that note, where are the members of the MMM? Come out come out, all you Aussies! Also, never to be the one to leave things on a negative note, Rhondda made suggestions as to more appropriately "MECful" topics of discussion, though all but one are old standbys (good standbys though, don't get me wrong!): A check of those forementioned archives may indicate that my opinions have changed, btw, but that's a woman's perogative, right? RIGHT? > 1) what's your favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? Seven in no particular order: For the poetry of it's rephrase of a cliche ". . . there are some bridges that burn, beyond recognition beyond repair" from Ruins For the raw intensity, and the fullness of it's pledge, I would go with "For I am your passion, your promise your end. . . Yes I Am." For the sweet concise portrayal of the emptiness post-breakup, the entirety of "Occasionally" For the power, and the utter depth of the feelings portrayed, the chorus of LTWID For the simple truth (though some may call it trite, and it is certainly not original by any means) "The only thing that stays the same is change" For the pitiful, pleading, desperation (who hasn't felt that??) "My intentions are true, won't you take me with you?" from YCSWID > 2) what's your least favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? "One and one and one, baby makes three" Yeesh! "I'll shave everything. . . " A little too. . . personal? > 3) tell us about your first/favorite/worst MLE concert. Worst concert (first isn't a good story, I didn't know who I was seeing, and favorite is too hard to pick) was last year, Labor Day, September 1, Pittsburgh's Starlake Amphitheatre. Don't get me wrong, Melissa rocked, and there were some cute moments in the show provided by a set of Cat in the Hat hats given to MLE and the band (see the archives from september 2, 1996 for my full report) but, unlike my previous Starlake show, when I was in the "gold circle" (first seven rows), I was back about 20 rows into the pavillion, and the crowd was atrocious. Nothing worse than a concert tainted by the smells of fertilizer (the amphitheatre is in farm country) and spilled beer, and the sight of countless butts pushing past at the most inopportune monents to go get more beer (or make a beer-necessitated trip to the restroom). That crowd was so beer-laden I was afraid to drive home! Ick - bad cast over a good night. > 4) if joyce luck was going to brew another batch of homebrew, > what MLE-related thing would you name it? ;-) Michelle had the best name with Barley Jean, my second choice would have to be "Unusual Kiss Lager" - only if it were marketed with an MLE provided lipsticked lipprint reproduced on every label. :-) Unusually longwinded (hahahha), Trace =================================================================== Trace * [email protected] ** [email protected] Visit the House of Trace http://members.aol.com/Thack22/index.html =================================================================== ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 18 Jun 1997 02:25:55 -0400 From: ruben boiardi Subject: *etheridge* mec mec mec, ok, only smec Favorite MLE lyric: ... i'd never want for money/ i'd never want for friends/ i wouldn't have to make excuses/ for the shape that i'm in well, either that or i ain't asking you to keep no secrets/ my reputation's already shot/ i ain't asking you to commit treason/ just tell me if you like it or not...

Well,..smile..Eileen and halfpint knows what mail I'm talking about and its ok, that one shouldn't go to the list, really not ! But I think that we all live together in one mind and that Melissa really keeps us together. As we love Melissa for her honest and true words about all problems she ever had I think that should be also a part of this list - a lot of problems just begun with listening to Melissa and of course to her lyrics. They don't really begin with it but they come out through Missys music, I think. It was for me that I thought about a lot of things after I listened to her lyrics. So why shouldn't we all share our lifes together with all good and bad things ? I believe that it could make this list even more precious as it already is - it is precious right now but maybe it would make it more. So if we all love Melissa I think we all should care with the lifes of others - she does with her music. And if we won't have private things on it we all have to leave Pooh-----OH I DON'T WANT THAT - really not. And so here it is: Hello Pooh wonderful to have you back - I'm really corious how a bear looks like after it has been out for sunbathing..giggle.. Take care and let's keep everybody precious.

Like Rhondda, I too feel it's better to make suggestions rather than to just moan so...why don't you guys who enjoy sharing your sob stories so much run along and make your own little sub-list (along the lines of John Miller's BABers) ? Then you can depress each other to your hearts' content, without boring the rest of us. :) And before you start condemning me as one big meanie, I do think it's nice that we can be there for one another from time to time; I just happen to think (& I know I'm not alone) that it's got way out of hand lately. As for (some of) my favourite lyrics: "There's a hole in my jeans - I only wanted them to fade" (from Ain't It Heavy). To me, that's a "Oh **** - THAT wasn't meant to happen!" cry of exasperation.

I've been lurking about for a while to get the flavor of this list, and y'all seem to be a nice group of people. The suggestion to talk about our favorite MLE lyrics, concerts, etc., encouraged me to post something. I've been a fan since I first heard "Chrome Plated Heart," before I knew anything about MLE personally. The first time I learned anything about her, I'd called a radio station to request one of her songs. The (female) dj told me they wouldn't play it because "her music was just for the gay crowd." Got my blood boiling: I didn't care who else liked her music, or what her orientation was, I just liked her music. Two years later,(1992) I saw her concert in Portland, Or. I was on my way out of town and listening to a radio station, about two hours before the concert was to start. I'd entered a contest for front-row tickets to see the show, but didn't really think I'd win. When they announced my name on the radio, I about lost control of the car. The concert was an intense and beautiful experience. We were front row, just left of center, and when she sat down on the edge of the stage to play, we could have reached out and touched her. This was a time of intense gay-bashing in Oregon due to Prop. 9, and there was so much love and positive emotion during the concert that I nearly cried. When she sang "Keep it Precious" I think we all lost it. I have seen very few people in my life who are 100% at anything, but during that concert, Melissa was as alive, as powerful, as perfect, as any human being can be. Since then, the words to KIP have always been my favorite.

And the love she gives us cannot help but spill over and soak those in its presense. So from what I am hearing, there are a few who do not wish to hear about each others trials and tribulations in getting to this list. Who do not wish to hear about our lives unless we have some Melissa content. Big Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Here! I wonder if the lyrics to the songs about life and love and passion and happiness started at the top of the ladder! I think not! As for not wanting posts without Melissa content. I am quite guilty of pooh ramblings myself maybe I should leave and not ever post again if it is offending people so very much. I am not a bright bear but I feel in my heart we are a family of caring and giving people and when life is not kind to one of us I think we all feel it and afterall isn't that what Melissa wants us to do, feel, love, embrace, be there for one another with open hearts and minds??? Funny, I thought we were all following the same star.

Right now one comes to mind..... 1: From "Ain't It Heavy": "There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade. I've been ripping out seams somebody else made tonight." I've always liked to whole song. When I know I'll be driving on the express way, I take the tape with me and just crank up the volume when this song comes on....I'll play it over and over again until I reach my destination. For some reason, it helps me feel free and alive. As far as the above lyrics go, it just reminds that life doesn't always go the way you want it to go and that even though its hard, you have to make adjustments. Kind of deep, eh?;) >> 2) what's your least favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? I don't really have a least favorite lyric. I guess I'm like Michelle, in that I'm a RealFan. >> 3) tell us about your first/favorite/worst MLE concert. Well, I've only been to two MLE concerts. The first one was a lot of fun because it was my first experience seeing Melissa live and she just blew me away. I've never seen so much energy, passion in woman before....she was totally awesome. The second concert was okay, I say that because my life was pretty much on a balance beam last October and I couldn't get into, every song, every word reminded me of something or other. So, needless to say I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have like to. >> 4) if joyce luck was going to brew another batch of homebrew, >> what MLE-related thing would you name it? ;-) Lets see.....hmmmmm, I'm thinking.....ok, how about De-Cypher Brew. And here is the slogan for it....."It'll cure most of life's alements". So, since were on this etiquette thread, how about I really piss some people off and tell ya a joke, a nice long one..... A Tale Of Two Bell Ringers After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed. The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process. After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he decided to call it a day when a lone, armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bell ringers job. The bishop was incredulous. "You have no arms!" "No matter," said the man, "observe!" He then began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened in astonishment, convinced that he had finally found a suitable replacement for Quasimodo. Suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell,the armless man tripped, and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before. As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, "Bishop, who was this man?" "I don't know his name," the bishop sadly replied, "but his face sure rings a bell." {Stop groaning, there's more....} The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless man the bishop continued his interviews for the bell ringer of Notre Dame. The first man to approach him said, "Your excellency, I am the brother of the poor, armless wretch that fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honor his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty." The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and as the armless man's brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest and died on the spot. Two monks, hearing the bishop's cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side. "What has happened?" the first breathlessly asked, "Who is this man?" "I don't know his name," sighed the distraught bishop,"but he's a dead ringer for his brother." Hope you got a chuckle.... Take care.

Why? It just sounds so true of a lot of people's feelings. Others may criticize them for loving someone, but if the love is real, they don't care what others think. 2) My least favorite?

Very good points IMO second: >i'm seriously tempted to track MLE down while i'm in LA next w/e, slap >her silly, and tell her to do *something*, because we're sorely >desperate for a topic! :-) Yes Melissa: "do *something*" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! third: >1) what's your favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? This is hard Rhondda !!! But right now it is for some reasons this: "If I wanted to I could do anything right I could dance with the devil on a Saturday night If I wanted to I could turn matches to gold I could smoke drink swear and I would never grow old... If I wanted to I could run fast as a train Be as sharp as a needle that's twisting your brain If I wanted to I could turn mountains to sand Have political leaders in the palm of my hand... If I wanted to I could be as patient as death... If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice There'd never be another woman who could make you think twice" Yes - IF I JUST WANTED TO I COULD DO ANYTHING. This song helps me very often with problems or fears I have to do something. And mainly it gives me the power to get "through" it. E.g. I wrote and am writing quite a few important exams this year and always on the day I write the test I listen to the song over and over before I get there. About four/five weeks ago I had this top important exam and it was about a 1 hour drive and I only listened to "If I wanted to" over and over. I specialy recorded a tape wich only has this song on it. IT PUSHES ME UP SO VERY MUCH that I forget to be nervous. >2) what's your least favorite MLE lyric(s)? why?

I stood (danced) in the first row right next to the mic and before they started "Crazy" she handed me the camera. Security allowed me to get over that barricade so I could film her, the band and the crowd from that little corridor right in front of the stage for about ten minutes. This was so cool!!! A few days later after they watched it they told me that I did a very good job and now I would love to get a copy of this. As I know from Melissa, the band and the entire crew they always love to play this place and this crowd. She told the crowd that she had to bring this camera to proof at home how breath-taking this was."

At first I though there is no such thing, after all I am a RealFan. But then...I remembered...From Talking to My Angel, I don't like the "he"in "He says that it's alright." Only cuz most my angels are female, so it doesnt't quuuuiiittte work for me. 3) Fav. concert...I've only been to 4, of YLS. All accounts archived. But my fav was Portland...she was up, I got to get close to her a lot, touched her and saw the crowd be Oh, so gentle with her when they could have easily grabbed a handful of leather-clad a**, etc. And isn't that the one where she forgot the first words to the concert? 4)I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

Some mis-understanding is natural on the List. You fans are all different people. Remember also, we can't see each other face-to-face, so we sometimes mis-read the posting. If only I could see the expression on your face when you write, understanding would be so much easier. When I read a Lister's posting that I don't understand, (or worse, that I don't like), I pass it over. Maybe come back to it later, but more likely let it go. There's still a lot of GOOD stuff posted every day, and I like to focus on that. The Pooh wrote: >afterall isn't that what Melissa wants us to do, feel, love, >embrace, be there for one another with open hearts and minds??? Yeah. At concerts, it's so very obvious that Melissa is there for ALL of her fans. The way she acts on stage, you can see that she's so intent on including everybody in the audience. I certainly felt included! So let's all stay included, let's all try to be good to each other, let's share the love we all have. ------oOo------ What topics are proper for posting to the List? I say, anything to do with Melissa, or her fans, or anything you fans are interested in. That means, just about anything goes. So is there any topic that is REALLY "NMEC"? Maybe not.

Some ME content. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 18:17:31 -0500 From: Jenniffer Smith Subject: *etheridge* Frustration and Netiquette Hi, all-- After posting the guidelines and a few comments wrt to other lister's P'sOV, I'm taking the opportunity to make a few comments of my own--hopefully getting us on the road to understanding about the MLE list--from the moderator's POV (and rest assured...I'm not attempting to speak for Dave and Glenna, as they are capable of making their own opinions known ). Also remember throughout--this is strictly MHO! First, I think that the fact that there are so many new listers (from all over the world, even!) is terrific. The more the merrier when it comes to MLE! It's always great to read the excitement of someone who has just discovered MLE, or to read about how MLE's music is viewed in different parts of the world (which, to her credit, isn't really any different than here in the U.S.). She really reaches out to many people--and that's why we're here. In the past several weeks, however, it's been evident that most of the list volumn has consisted of personal exchanges between some of the newer listers and personal accounts of listers' (both new and old) trials and tribulations...followed by public responses to those posts, many of which have absolutely nothing to do with MLE at all. A good number of 'old' listers (what'd you call us, Trace? I'm sure it was more flattering than 'old'...) have become a bit annoyed by this influx of personal stories and email posted to the list. Some of the old-timers (is that better?) have left the list due to the direction that the list has taken. Some of us have gently suggested, on list (or maybe off and maybe not so gently), and in good humor, that this kind of fare is not really appropriate for the list. While this is, as I call it, the general 'MLE House Party', some of the material lately has drifted so far from even non-MLE content that it's almost unbearable. For the newer listers who might not be aware, this list has been around for nearly five years (with each and every digest archived on the list page). There are several people here (myslef not included) who have been here since day one. In any list you join that has been around for such a long period of time, there is bound to be a set 'personality' of sorts that the list has adopted through written/un-written guidelines--most of which are based in netiquette. When joining a list, it's a very good idea to not only lurk for awhile before posting, but to read archives of past digests--just to get a feel for the atmosphere. It's generally not a good idea to join a list and take offense when you're asked to please refrain from posting material that hasn't been allowed on the list in the past. In this particular case of folks who have joined since the end of MLE's last tour, I do have to admit that there hasn't been much 'traditional' list fare to observe. That, coupled with the fact that I've been remiss in posting guidelines, is why I've been lenient (in my job as list moderator) in saying too much about certain types of posts to the list. However, I feel at this point, that if the posting of personal problems and issues is allowed to continue, and if I don't say something to people who are engaging in private conversation on the list, when MLE-related topics do heat up, we'll have so much 'noise' on the list that the entire point of being here will be lost. I seem to get the impression that a few newer listers have not given heed to the fact that they are the not the first people ever to join this list...that they feel obligated to give the list a personality. Bringing your own personality into the fold is one thing--and is quite welcome. Changing a group of people set in their ways is quite another. I don't believe that I've ever addressed personal mail between myself and another lister on the list, but I will take the opportunity at this time to do so--mainly as an example more than anything else. Both Frauke and London have publically expressed dismay at the 'nasty' mail they've received for posting what they felt was appropriate material to the list. For my part, I simply wrote to you both and asked you to be sure to either 1) make sure you remove the list address from responses that were meant to be/should've been private, or 2) to please take posts of private nature to private email. I can't speak for anyone else who wrote to you concerning any of your posts, but this was *my* reason for contacting you off list. Someone mentioned the fact that this list is coming together to form a family of sorts and that understanding from all listers was an integral part of this family. Please don't forget that there was already a 'family' which existed for several years before you joined the list. You, and anyone who wants to join the list, are welcome into the family. However, it is a bit on the rude side to suggest that those of use who have been here for a long time are not understanding and are discourteous for not appreciating when a new group of folks wants to join a long-standing list and post against the grain of that list. Remeber, this has been 'our' list for a very long time...it can be 'your' list, too, but courteous behavior works both ways. This bit of advice is valuable in every aspect of our lives. I think what has happened here is that there is a new group of people on the list who are excited about joining a mailing list and are here to make friends, and that's fine--a good number of us are here for that reason. Part of the confusion, as I said before, is due to the fact that MLE really isn't doing anything right now. Therefore, the list has been slow because such material as is appearing now just hasn't been here in the past. I applaud rhondda and Marcey and JJ and others who are making it a point to include any kind of MLE content in order to maintain the past order of this list. It's true that some of the old-timers have been quiet lately and that could be due to lots of things--mine for instance is that I've had a very stressful few months at work and rarely have time to post (although I read every day). It's summer...some of the listers who subscribe from school addresses have left, some people may be traveling, etc. For whatever reason, the list has been quiet. But the fact still remains that the list is still 'the list' and the liklihood of the tone of the list changing or the sudden acceptance of posts that 'just don't fit' is very unlikely. I'm sorry if some of the newer listers are offended by my thoughts and statements (some of them opinion, some of them factual). Fact is, this list has been in place for a very long time and turning it around and sending it in a different direction just might not be possible. jen--pondering what to wear on her trip to Tennessee this weekend... ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 18 Jun 1997 15:44:00 -0500 From: Jenniffer Smith Subject: *etheridge* ADMINISTRIVIA--PLEASE READ Posting Guidelines Hi, all-- Your friendly (?) moderator here...digging herself out from under the quagmire of busy work that accumulated after only one day away from the office (can't a girl take a day off to play golf and expect not to be five days behind when she returns?!). I must first apologize for two things. One, I've been terribly remiss in making the posting guidelines available to new members and also for failing to forward a copy to Dave and Glenna for inclusion in the FAQ portion of the list page. I will forward a copy to Glenna and I will also include a copy of the guidelines on my own page (the URL for which I will make public once the page is presentable ). Secondly, I need to apologize for not forwarding a copy to the list since the issue of what's appropriate/not appropriate has been raised. Truth be told, in a fit of cleaning out my mailboxes at work, I archived my copy of the guidelines instead of keeping them in my in-box and now I can't access my archives (damn Group Wise...)--had to go to the list archives and dig it out 'cause none of the 'older' listers had a copy in their possession (I tried to warn Deb for not keeping a copy, but she informed me that it wouldn't do any good since she's not on the list any longer ). Phbt!!! :-) So, without further ado, here are the guidelines. Please keep a copy in your in-box -- at least until we can get them posted on the web. Discussion of these guidelines is welcome on the list, or questions may be forwarded directly to me in private mail. Thanks! (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 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) 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. 5) 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. 6) 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 for MLE-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). 7)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 this address ([email protected]). However, on weekends and in the evening, if I see a need to send ADMIN messages or posts, I'll send them from my VAX account ([email protected]). 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 [email protected] [email protected] ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 18 Jun 1997 16:20:09 -0500 From: Jenniffer Smith Subject: *etheridge* RE: can I share my sad thoughts too? >>> halfpint 06/17/97 11:35am >>> wrote: >>On Fri, 13 Jun 1997, Kate Blackmon wrote: >ok people... >what FAQ? i never recieved any FAQ.

Hold on...no one accused anyone of stereotyping Christians as homophobes. There can be (and have been) heated discussions about religion w/o the inference that all Christians are phobes. Reading inaccurate meanings into statements like Kate's is what can lead to major wars in lister-land. >> 9. ... make assumptions about other listers' sexuality >does anyone's sexuality matter? No...and that was part of Kate's point. This list has been around now for nearly five years--it didn't just come into being within the last several weeks. Although I've only been around for going on three years, I can't count the number of times someone has assumed that everyone on this list is either female and/or queer--simply because MLE fits those criteria. There are plenty of guys (several of which make valued contributions to this list) and there are plenty of straight folk (in the sexuality sense, that is ), too. That's what Kate was addressing in this part of her post. >>6. ... share boring and meaningless personal ramblings >>8. ... wish each other happy Christian or American >>holidays >lighten up. This ruffled my feathers a bit. Both of Kate's points here refer to past list fare and there is no need to lighten up. It has been suggested by a couple of listers that some of the newer folks go back and read some of the archives and get a feel for the list (which is considered good netiquette throughout the net--not just here). I think that this would be a good idea for most of the newer listers--as it would not only make their lives happier, but would keep the format of the list as it is intended to be kept. jen ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 18 Jun 1997 16:48:02 -0500 From: Jenniffer Smith Subject: *etheridge* Re: Chill out! >>> Laurann F Boyd 06/16/97 08:21am >>> write: >Um...excuse me but I don't remember recieving a list of >"rules" when I subscribed to this mailing list I've sent the guidelines to the list...and I've also apologized for not posting them on a regular basis.

However, this list really isn't meant as a forum for such discussion. The occasional post which addresses, "I was struggling with questions and MLE helped me to get through a tough period as I listened to (insert song/interview/etc here)," is to be expected. When the list turns into a public group therapy session for someone who is struggling, then the conversation needs to be taken to private mail. >>6. ... share boring and meaningless personal ramblings >Just because it may be boring to you it might give a lister >an angle on a situation in their own life.

We don't. This is a list full of many different religions and nationalities. Kate's point made no mention of discrimination.

Read further... >I can't say merry christmas, happy independence >day,dominion day etc...to my lister friends? You can...but remember that not everyone here celebrates Christmas...not everyone celebrates independence day or dominion day, etc. I doubt that we would see wars which equal those of the past if you were to post these wishes, but it might be a better idea to make a list of your 'lister friends' who you know would appreciate these wishes and email them privately. jen ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 19 Jun 1997 07:47:38 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Posting Etc (NMEC) Chefdeb said: << BTW..

I, too, have to go with the live version of LTWID wherein ME belts out: "Teeelllllllllllllllll me does she love you......"

Sorry, none! 3) tell us about your first/favorite/worst MLE concert. My first ME concert was during her tour for B&C. I went with my sister-in-law and had a kicka@@ time! During B&C me got behind her bass player and helped him play! My favorite ME concert was in 1994 during the YIA tour. During the encore I was lucky enough to get to the front of the stage and lean on it (it was waist high). During LTWID, ME came and knelt right in front of me and my two friends. Her guitar string had broke and she motioned for my friend Jan to rip it off the guitar. After this was accomplished, she turned her body, still on her knees, and played with her guitar perpendicular to the stage. Then, to my total amazement, she leaned into me! I had our lovely ME in my arms for about a minute or two. After the show I got to meet her (for the first time) and like the dope I am I said to her �Since you had your head here (pointed to my shirt, just above the chest) would you sign my shirt?� ME said �Sure, that was alot of fun!� Needless to say I floated home!!!!!!! My worst ME concert??? NONE! 4) if joyce luck was going to brew another batch of home-brew, what MLE-related thing would you name it? ;-)" Brave N Crazy Brew!

Some ME content. Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Okay gang I give up! You have all flooded my mailbox until I am forced to break my silence. But before I do may I just stop here for a moment and ask Shirl and Sue D. and the rest of you to take a deep breath with me and at the top of our lungs SHOUT: "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!!!" Okay there, I feel better now! Took some time last night stared at the moon and then got up on my feet dusted myself off and with a deep sigh said:I shall not be moved!!!! I will share some Melissa content here with you. My time at the rainbow beach also known as Rehoboth, was quite interesting to say the least. The very first music store I entered had Melissa playing full blast "If I Wanted To!" We went shopping on the boardwalk and what did Ms.Jones find but the very Melissa T-SHirt I was gonna order from MEIN! I WAS AMAZED!!! Then in another shop we found stickers and a purple and black patch I just had to get that says: Mean People Suck! Had to have it! But I think my best buy was when I was shopping and stumbled into this little shop that had art and prints and stuff and as I glanced up towards the top shelf on this wall sat a print that I had to pull down and hold in my paw. It was titled "Melissa" Nope Not A Lie! I kid you not! The owner of the shop came over and ask me do you like that? Let me explain: It was a print from a childrens book signed by the author who is named James Browne.( not sure if the "E" on the end of his name is right) And the picture has a little girl looking up at this branch below a big oak tree and this little bear is reaching down his paw. The lady says to me well this is a real little girl and the story line is how she meets the real Winnie the Pooh! No Way! I say and her name is Melissa??? Yep it is says she! The book is scheduled for release next month by the way and is way too cool! Thanks Deb for talking me into spending the money! I Just Love It! As for my favorite Melissa lyric: And I Will Never Be The Same. Unfavorite lyric: Meet Me In 2001. Also my favorite concert would have to be Columbus, Ohio this year. She really rocked and I was one person away from her and saw her play those eyes! And it was my very first time to meet Melisters!!!! ( Even If I was Called A Butch Bear!) Hi Joyce! Love Ya! VBSmile! As for Pooh ponderings I will leave you with this: Even in the darkest nights there is a light that shines down around us and warms our hearts and souls and sometimes if we listen with our hearts we can hear the singing of the stars as they dance through the milky way. Sometimes, yes sometimes they fall to earth and if you are fortunate enough to hold one in your hand, your wishes will come true as you send it sailing back towards the heavens with a gentle kiss and sigh. In silence I have learned that to dream is to set my spirit on a journey where calming waters soothe me and the slightest ripple can be seen from miles above.

No one has officially told Jane that she cannot send her posts to the list. She's always posted her 'Pooh' writings to the list (although not as frequently in the past) and, to the best of my knowledge, neither the list owners, Deb or myself (since I took over for Deb) has ever said anything to her about it. If other listers have written to her and told her to stop posting, then I have no control over her feelings to do so. >I just don't get it. Maybe I'm missing the point - if someone >was joking, they should indicate so. Maybe...but again what we have here is old clashing with new. No matter what list you join, inside jokes and established personalities exist. Even if someone posts something that you don't like and you don't feel that you could say anything 'nice' wrt to that post, follow Dan Cohen's example and just don't post anything. With very few exceptions, there is rarely a derogatory or 'nasty' post sent to this list. An orginal derogatory (or seemingly derogatory) post does not flames or misunderstanding cause...it's the follow-up comments that usually get the wars underway. >None of us are God Your're right... >and get to regulate what's printed on this list. You're wrong. There is a set of guidelines for posting to the list. There are guidelines for every list or newsgroup in existance (although not every list may closely follow those guidelines). Believe me, there are lists that are ten times more strict than this list. Again, speaking for myself and not the list-owners (where the hell are they, anyway? ), I am interested in maintaining a space where both MEC and NMEC can co-exist. However, the main objective of the list is not NMEC. One main purpose of moderation is to keep the level of NMEC in perspective. >Take what you want and leave the rest. If you don't like >non-ME related topics, click past them. The problem with this logic is thus: NMEC has always been allowed on the list and always will be allowed (read the guidelines). However, I and the list-owners, reserve the right to ask that certain threads be taken to private mail if we feel that they are of no interest to the majority of the list. It's simply a matter of courtesy--especially to people who are on digest or who do not have unlimited access to email--to not have to wade through posts that really belong in private mail. Case in point: John Miller (an 'oldie'...so to speak ) and the other folks out in San Francisco put together their own regional list for things MLE-related and other music-, regionally-related topics, with the express intent of not involving the rest of the list (from the east coast to Australia) in reading Bay-Area happenings that really didn't concern anyone outside SF. Now, upon occasion, they will post about Bay-Area goings on and they are, of course, still members of the MLE list. But it's all kept in perspective based upon common courtesy. >Telling each other of our daily lives or posting poems or >wise words is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. I appreciate your feelings...but your feelings might not be the majority. Poems with MLE content or song lyrics with MLE content (we've had lots of that...believe me...some serious and some down-right hilarious) are great. Some take-offs on MLE songs have spawned some great threads. But as far as people posting any kind of poetry that they feel like, any time they feel like doing it...I'm sorry but that's just not always appropriate for this list. There are a kazillion outlets for that specific purpose on the net--in the form of lists, newsgroups and web sites. This in an MLE list...not a "whatever I wanna post" list. In that same regard, posting of daily life experiences is one thing, but as I stated before, this isn't a group therapy session. We've always been free to vent on the list...hell, I've done it myself (I was terribly upset when a close friend died of AIDS a while back and I was appreciative of the support that I received from several listers). If a person feels strongly enough to post such personal fare, then replies to that post should generally be sent privately. If not, the subject really shouldn't drag out for a long period of time. It is then that I might intervene and ask that it be taken off-list. >Some of the folks on this list have helped me through some >rough times! Good!

Ok...again, I've spent all my 'list time' responding to other people's thoughts and comments and now it's time to share my own...again (no groaning from the peanut gallery!). As the guidelines for posting clearly state, some NMEC is allowed as long as it's not offensive and doesn't cause major flame wars to break out. For those folks who don't care for NMEC *at all*, the info-only list exists for that purpose. The guidelines also state, however, that myself (as list moderator) and the owners have the right to ask that certain topics or threads be taken to private mail. That's just how it is. Since the internet is not governed by any one entity, there are many, many sets of rules floating around in cyber space (I hate that term...but can't think of a better one). Each forum in which you participate will have a different set of rules to which you are expected to adhere. If you do not like a particular set of guidelines or rules, you are free to create your own 'space' and set of rules. That's the beauty of the internet. Now, before anyone takes that last statement the wrong way and *assumes* that I'm telling all the new listers to 'like it or lump it', sit back and think about what I said. I've mentioned at least twice in the past two days that new members are *always* welcome on the list. I have no problem with new members...no one on this list has a problem with new members. What I've tried to accomplish in my previous couple of posts is to remind people that clashes will occur when new members join and become upset with guidelines which have been in place for a long time. While I've been remiss in posting guidelines to the list and making sure that they are included at the web site, that doesn't change the fact that they exist. I would expect that once they've been posted (which they have) there should be no further out-cry from those who were not aware of the guidelines to begin with. In essence, if you join a list, you must abide by the guidelines. If you don't agree with a certain aspect of those guidelines, then you are free to voice your disagreement but the chances that the guidelines will change is slim at best. I'm headed down to Tennessee for a few days and will return on Monday. I encourage the discussion to continue on a rational basis if members wish to do so. However, I feel as though I'm pretty much dominating the thread, so perhaps it will just die down.

I do not want to be rude, but gawking over my shoulder is rude. 2. asking a million questions while gawking over my shoulder. if you were on the phone, would you want to be bothered with questions like "whatcha doing? what's that? who is that? what are you talking about? is that a phone? how do you use the phone?" there is literature galore on how to use the net. If you want to learn more about it, get an account and i'd be more than happy to show you how to use it. 3. teasing me about going to check my email. I get a lot of messages, so of course I check email all the time, especially if I am expecting to hear from someone or an important message. would you get annoyed if someone teased you about checking messages on your answering machine, or going to make a phone call? ok then, so do I. 4. implying that I have no "real" friends. a friend on the net IS a real friend, they just live far away. I do not spend my life talking bizarre with total strangers; I have developed many close friendships that I would have never had otherwise. I'm sure you have friends who you keep in touch with by phone. would you get upset if someone told you they were not "real" friends? ok then, so do I. 5. calling the net the "information superhighway." sorry, that's cheesy! that's like saying "groovy." it's called the net. and never, ever call it "america online!" that is a commercial provider, not the net! 6. assuming that I don't know what I'm doing. I've done countless hours of research, read books from cover to cover, and been active on the net for over two years. I know a thing or two about it! 7. assuming that everyone who uses the net is evil, psycho, nerdy, etc. I am not, and most of the people i've run into are pretty decent. the media blows a lot of things out of proportion. if your wife left you for someone she had been talking to on the phone for a year, would you blame her, or the phone? yet many people blame the net for today's problems. 8. assuming that the net is nothing but porn. I do not read that trash. the net has anything and everything, just like TV or radio. if you were on the phone, would you get upset if people said "hey are you having phone sex?" ok then, so do I. 9. assuming that just because I met my fiance online, it won't last. assuming that my engagement is just a "cyber-fling". assuming that I'm getting involved with a total stranger i've never met. I have been talking with my fiance for nearly 2 years, both by email and on the phone; yes, we HAVE met "in real life"; and, we are engaged to be married. 10. having internet access available, but not allowing us to access it. what if there were a store with products for sale, but no one was allowed to buy anything? that's stupid! so why do they feel compelled, at times, to make the computer terminals off limits? if you were on the phone, would you want some dork (for lack of a better word) coming over and saying, "you have to get off!" I'm not bothering anyone, so back off. 11. providing access to the internet without telnet access. *INTERNET LESSON TIME!* you see... the world wide web is NOT the internet. it is one-eighth of the internet. there's the web, gopher, FTP, usenet, WAIS, mail, IRC and TELNET! many so-called "INTERNET service providers" lack some of the above, especially telnet. why? if you bought a car, you would expect it to have a gas tank. what if it only came with the engine, and the gas tank had to be purchased separately and installed yourself; of course the dealer didn't carry gas tanks and had no information on where to get them--you're on your own. that's stupid! and what if you tried to use the windshield wipers and got a message saying "sorry, the wipers are disabled!" telnet is a BASIC internet tool, as are all eight components! do not make the mistake of assuming that the web IS the internet. if you do not have all eight components, you're getting ripped off. (note: WAIS is being phased out, but its databases can still be found on gopher or the web). many ISP's have additional services that are NOT found on the net, which makes telnet awesome because you can access these other providers from your account. halfpint question authority. beware of stampeding turtles!!! http://cs.selu.edu/~kroberts ..............................................................................

First, Jen Smith...bless your little self, keep up the great work! Seems all this has kept you pretty busy at the ol' keyboard. Second, as I sit here sorting through a hundred or so posts from this list, I started to wonder about favorite lyrics and such. My favorite MLE song is It's For You. Don't really know why, I just like the way it flows. But I thought I would pose the question to you all - what's your interpretation of the lyrics? Oh well, back to lurkdom. Just thought I'd do my fair share to hold up some MLEC discussion.

(Some MEC) Evening All! This bear has been around a few years. And I don't always run "Wild & Loose" through the streets of Rehoboth Beach! Though I would like to more often!! :) Thanks Deb for the great week! Most times I can befound on a hill in the woods looking around at what the fruits of my labors have so graciously given me. Of late, I have not stopped to notice the little things that mean so much to this bear I am sad to say. But when I do I never seem to find what beauty there is about me and how rich my life really is. I was standing beneath the full moon tonight in my back yard just as the night was coming to call and the air was thick and heavy with the smell of honeysuckcle. About me I noticed the lightning bugs rising from the earth to grace the skies above. I pondered: Will Melissa and Julie show Bailey how to catch a lightning bug and be as overwelmed as I at their magic? I hope so. For the pure joy and the illumination of the heart brought forth by these small creatures of this earth is a must for every child young and old. Newton the cat found me in the field and gave me one of those I love you rubs about the ankle and then went off to the woodpile for adventures of his own. I stared at the golden circle of light illuminating the sky and pondered more. When will Melissa grace us with her music once again and give us a quiet rain to put out the fires that seem to kindle when she is away. It is at this time I feel we are but dry kindling awaiting her spark to set our hearts and souls on fire in only the way that her magic can. And as I glanced once more at my friend the moon I thought to myself, we all need strength to carry on and hence we should let her be for she too needs this quiet time. So with a sigh I said it is okay. I understand and we will be blessed for nothing compares to the way she gives so freely and plays so hard to please those she has never met. It will be worth however long the wait just to know that her soul is replenished and she comes to us with her music when she can give. And this is how it should be. I smiled, turned towards the house and letting out a deep sigh had my breath taken away by a doe looking at me from about 15 feet away. I slowly exhaled beneath the moon and said: "How are you sweetheart and she slowly walked towards me. I have never seen such beauty and grace as we watched one another in awe. She circled around cautiously and I could not take my eyes off her as I told her it was alright for she was safe and loved. Then I turned to walk down to the house and she turned and walked down her path to the field awaiting her below. And then and there I knew nothing compares to what awaits us with our very next breath for such beauty cannot be bought, it is freely found when we least expect it and nothing compares to the feeling one gets when you realize it is given freely.

In response to Tracey: >On that note, where are the members of the MMM? Come out come out, all >you Aussies! Here .. just lurking and reading and having little or no time to post. [BTW, if this post doesn't make it straight to the list, can some kind soul please email me and tell how to do it. I sent mail to [email protected]] Dont know that I would regard myself as on old timer, but have been here for a few years. And it has been refreshing in the last few days, to see some familiar faces come out to play and contribute. And refreshing to see some discussion on what the list is about and how it changes and grows .. and some actual Melissa content. The list is an evolving entity and new listers always make a valuable contribution to that evolution. So lets not make this discussion a 'new versus old-timers' conflagration. However, the posting of 'da rules' by the appointed list moderator (Jen Smith) is needed every now and then. And Kate Blackmon's satiric post was very welcome. One of the great things about this list has been the wit and irony and satire - all in good fun. For those who dont know .. Elaine Naiman is a former list member possessed of a cutting, sharp and incisive wit and an extensive knowledge of and interest in music. She assiduously noted when assumptions were made about the sexuality, religion and location of listers. Sometimes she went a little far and the occassional flame war ensued. For my part, I am quite happy to see some personal stuff on the list, and quite happy to see Pooh's ramblings. But not TOO much. If you like what Pooh has written - that's great but tell her directly, dont tell the ME list. You can bet that most of the list does not want to see a 'me too' type post. I live in Australia and I dont want to know when American holidays are. I assume that the list doesn't want to know that we just had a Queen's Birthday holiday. Therefore I dont post about it. As a member of the list, I make a decision each time I post - should this message be sent PRIVATELY or to the LIST. And each time I have to remember that the list is made up of thousands of people all over the world. Some of whom have become friends and I correspond with them privately. Finally, a very warm thanks to Rhondda. She has been an amazing stalwart over the last few months. And it is good to see some posts with humorous content - I liked the Ruben Religious Hour .. but no laughing at our adorable, cute but weird platypus :). Beer competition: I think I am disqualified from entering as I am a past winner of a Joyce Luck Name-the-Brew Competition. I even managed to taste the strawberry beer prize whilst in Noo Yawk. I do favour Barley Jean Brew though. Concerts: best would be the intimate night with Melissa here in Melbourne at the Continental Cafe in '95. It was the YLS tour so the set list was not the best, but a relaxed MLE in a 200 person venue for a few hours was a gem. Margo .. who spent a good part of last night watching Absolutely Fabulous re-runs .. and has had her dose of satiric humour for the week. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #118 ******************************* Date: Fri, 20 Jun 1997 04:02:06 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #119 etheridge-digest Friday, June 20 1997 Volume 01 : Number 119 *etheridge* Ooops! *etheridge* oops!!! wrong list *etheridge* Okay, can we call a moratorium?

Agreed. Regardless of how some may feel about Elaine, it is just plain rude to comment on a person who is not around to defend herself. What makes any of you who make round-about snide remarks about her think that you'd be able to get away with it if she was still subbed to the list? I can't technically warn someone for commenting on someone who is not a member of this list, but I can call a halt to derogatory shots that some of you have made.

Me, I heard LTWID in this crappy old trailer I was living in at the time. (In a terrible releationship, but THAT'S a looooong story! ;-) ). I was like, "Whoa?!!? Who's this????".

She has one of the most powerful voices....most singers can't wail like that over and over and over. I used to have big fun trying to cover her songs in bands.

I just wanted to make a comment on the people getting fed up with members rambling on about their problems. I, myself, am kind of new. I've been here about six months. Now, when I first joined the list, I sat lurking for two months. During those two months, I saw a group of people who knew a lot about each other because they were telling about personal trials, tribulations, and triumphs. That's what makes this list so family-like. If no one said a thing about their personal lives, how would we really know one another? Seeing as how our Melissa is out of the spotlight for a while, maybe this should be a time that we all get to know each other better, new and old list members, even if it does mean rambling on about personal issues. When I first joined, I got the rules of the list, but after reading what people were posting, I felt that this list was unlike any other I'd been on. It was more of a family, with a common tie- Melissa. I, myself, liked that, and I still do. So, thanks for listening to my personal feelings about this.

The idea actually gave me incentive to sit down last night and read through the lyrics to all 5 of Melissa's CDs. It was somewhat of a learning process for me. Not that I don't know the lyrics, but just that I had never thought of them without the music before. (I don't know if it was intended for the lyrics to be considered independently, or as ME performs them, which would give me different answers.) Anyway-- Favorites: from Testify Morning's hard coffee's cold Pretending that the days mean more than getting old Stale headlines others drenched in pride Marching to their drum with fear standing beside from Shriner's Park Did you feel like you were crazy When they sent you far away Did no one have the answers When you hung your head to pray You could not let yourself dream Never dare belive You could ever be more Than you were born to be from Talking to My Angel I sold my soul for freedom It's lonely but it's sweet Why? Because of the strong images and feelings they portray, and the sound of the words. Unfavorites: Actually, I will decline to choose any specific lyrics, not because I don't have any. I found out that when separated from the music, I really don't like a lot of ME's lyrics. OK, OK, so I guess I'm the *FalseFan*. :) (Not so, according to my friends.) This brings up a point for me: does anyone know how ME writes most of her songs? Is it lyrics first, music first, both together, or piecemeal? First and Favorite Concert: YIA tour, spring of 1994. A friend of mine asked if I wanted to go the afternoon of the concert, and we just kinda went spontaneously. I liked her songs that I had heard on the radio, but I was not prepared for the *concert experience*. I was converted. To me a true musician shows her/himself in live performance, and ME proved herself forever in my mind. PS--I was made fun of by another friend of mine for going to listen to "country music." I argued with him for weeks about this. Anyone else think Melissa is "country?"

Anyways, I'm back on the list. It's the ever observant one: Jen. For all those listers that live in Boston, I'm envious. I spent Memorial Day weekend there and man, did I ever have an excellent time. It's quite similar to Vancouver, BC (where I reside now)...but BETTER. I cruised through New Jersey, New York, Conneticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. I took a ferry to Nova Scotia and saw every inch of the province (I do not lie). I even ventured for a night to New Brunswick. It was a fantastic 3 weeks. I also met some listers!! One in Boston, one in Halifax, one in Springhill, and one in Sydney! All very amazing people! (What the heck is going on with the list? Are there flame things going on here too?) So, on a happy note, I'm happy. I'm well travelled and burnt out...and now sitting at home is boring. Sitting on a park bench in Portland, ME wasn't boring. Sitting in people's homes over there wasn't boring. Man, I hate sitting at home sometimes. I'll be a wiz at solitaire by the end of the month! Anyone want to challenge 5300 points in 151 seconds? I kid you not. I'm looking for work by the way. ;) Well, I just thought I'd say hi. HI! And, it is wonderful to be home. I'm already trying to figure out my next trip....a few days in San Fran (I figure). Hope all's well with everyone.

Hello all, First let me say that I am sorry to any listers that I may have offended (for a lack of a better word) with my post. I think that some of us just got alittle hot under the collar. No hard feelings? I love this list and everyone on it. I have even made a really good friend through it (hey J). Well now with that aside I can get on to my favorite lyrics! Maybe I should just copy every word from about 20 different songs! I had some trouble narrowing down my selection. I listened to melissa cds and ever song I found more and more wonderful pharses! She is such a talented writer. Here are just *some* of my favorites and why..... "How was I to know that I burned everynight in my dreams and only morning can set me free" ---DYN..........we have all had those dreams that haunt us all night. "If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice. There'd never be another women who could make you think twice." ---IIWT.......I wish I could do these two things! "I would dial the numbers just to listen to your breath" ---CTMW.....guilty!!! "Bared your naked soul." ........Sounds so romantic, sexy even & "Caught in your eyes. Lost in your name." --SL ....you know how you can just look someone in the eyes for hours and not want to look away. Hearing that someone name can just make you become lost in thought...once again guilty. "Baring divine intervention, there is nothing between you and I." ---YIA.......... Well again another one of those romantic even sexy lines. If someone said this to me I would melt! "I can feel the thunder under my feet." ---TTMA......can you feel it? "Walking on the edge of rage and understanding." ---deep line, but I think that I have been there for quite sometime now. "In one tender touch the pain disappears." ---PP......oh goodness....all the pain and heart ache and sleepless nights is worth it with that first *tender* touch and even kiss. Even if it does just cause even more pain and heart ache, at least for those few precious moments (hopefully loooong moments) all is right. Well I know that I said I tried to narrow it down, tried being the key word. I could probably type about three pages full of quotes that I love, just don't tempt me or I might (JK). My least favotire lyric list is much much shorter. Just take the song 2001. That about does it. No concert memories yet, but soon hopefully. For now I am regulated to getting my brothers guitar, acting like I know how to play, and singing along at the top of my lungs to her cds. I do have to say I put on one heck of a concert! LOL. If walls could talk............ Just adding to the decusion. If melissa had a tatto what would it be? Maybe Julie's name in a heart on her bottom? Maybe her symbol in the nape of her back? Maybe a cute little sunshine on her left hip? Maybe a sun/moon stars thingy on her shoulder blade area? Maybe a butterfly on her breast? Maybe a angel halo on her ankle? What do you all think. As for me I have a cute little sunshine on my left hip. I have had it for 6 monthes and I love it. It is smiling. I was scared that it was going to hurt when I got it so making a nervous joke I said that I wish that I had a bullet to bite on like in the civil war when the soilders had surgery (I am a history major, what do you expect) Well the tatto man rips out a gun, pulls out a clip and hands me a bullet! I started to shake at that point. But It did not hurt 1/5 as bad as I thought it would and three other friends also joined in and recieved tattoos. I can not wait to show my children, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren when I am 80 years old! I love my little sunshine! You may ask why I got a sunshine on my hip, like a friend did. My answer, it had been dark for an awfully long time down there so I thought I needed to shed a little light on it!!!! Have great time this weekend Holly ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 20 Jun 1997 17:50:50 -0700 From: "J. Croft" Subject: *etheridge* This one's for Rhondda... Rhondda is sitting on my couch right now, sipping an edgy-created mocha while listening to U2 take over the station on KROQ. In her honor (and since she is too busy to be bothered right now), I thought I would FINALLY post some of my MLE musings to the list. For those who don't know, I did every bloody and blissful step of the infamous "You Can Sleep While I Drive" tour with Ms. Ashby. I promised her at that time that I would stop lurking by way of posting some of my travel and concert experiences with hers. I lied. It's time to break the silence and fill in a few of the blanks: > 1) what's your favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? "The only thing that stays the same is change." Just kidding, Allison. Truly, it has to be something from "Let Me Go" - like "the knock upon your back door, the twist that turns your key=85" Sexual in one sense, romantic in another, almost deceitful in a smirking way=85 > 2) what's your least favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? "Oh oh oh oh oh." (a la MMITB) Maybe b/c I just can't quite sing it along with her and do it any justice. Though once you hear Tim Dunker (Mr. "Ready for Love" himself) sing it, it does take on a whole new meaning. > 3) tell us about your first/favorite/worst MLE concert. Worst concert had to be Sacramento (Dec. 96) - it was definitely one of Melissa's best, but I was having, um, a feminine issue that I wasn't expecting=85 sort of put a damper on my spirits if not my ability to move. The most surreal and smile-inducing concert moments happened the night before the Sacto show, in SF. Rhondda had won front row seats and let me tell you=85 it's hard to beat the front row in terms of 'how to enjoy the first half of a Melissa Etheridge concert.' From that front row experience, there was: =B7 Melissa looking at and pointing at Rhondda during ICHBY. =B7 Melissa's photographer squatting down right in front of us, snapping pictures of me lip-synching and Rhondda playing air guitar. Though I am convinced she was simply getting photos for the stalking file. =B7 Melissa flinging her pick at the end of SL, Rhondda dashing up to the stage and snagging it, Melissa looking over and watching Rhondda snag the pick. =B7 Melissa handing her pick to me after YLS=85 a total 'suspended in time moment.' =B7 Melissa putting on JJ's santa hat to sing Happy Christmas (and JJ gettin= g it back!) =85 also, SF marked the set list change for the end of tour - the addition of Happy Christmas and (much to my dismay) the deletion of Change. =B7 Tons and tons and tons of bootleg t-shirts being sold in and outside the venue. "BOOTLEGGER!!" No worries - I bought every friggin' official t-shirt, so the bootleggers didn't take anything away from Melissa in that respect. It was a neat collector's bonus, though. Absolute best concert was the final one of the tour - the LA show. Funny thing - I remember very little about the show in terms of the music and what Melissa was doing (Thank God for DAT recordings, eh?). So the story goes: After pining for a certain woman for what seemed like FOREVER, she and I finally got our libidos in synch that night. It was the first night that, sadly, Rhondda and I weren't sitting together along the tour. Not being sure Rhondda was going to go, I sold my extra MEIN ticket to a friend from another music list. Meanwhile, I snuck that 'certain woman' up to my seat with me (8th row) and proceeded to blow off my friend along w/the rest of the world while I endeavored to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of the special guest sharing my seat with me. Needless to say, I have groveled for forgiveness from my friend for being so rude, but she forgave me and there is a happy ending all the way around - 6 months later my special guest has gone from that 'certain woman' to 'love of my life.' Owe you on that one, Melissa, though I apologize for engaging in "get a room!" activity - I've always hated open displays of public affection=85 well, unti= l I had the chance to engage in said activity that night. > 4) if joyce luck was going to brew another batch of homebrew, what MLE-related thing would you name it? ;-) YCSWID elixir. Rhondda and I could use some of that on our next follow-Melissa-around trek. Though just like the "Vacation" movies, R and I might enjoy the next concert-mania experience in Europe, in which case a darker brew would be appropriate.

I do know that my father was in a band that performed "LTWID" and "BMSW" -- but I didn't like the way they did either, which means I must have heard the real versions at some point. It wasn't until I got to know my ex-girlfriend Sarah really well, that I became a tried-and-true fan. She really loved MLE, and so I started opening my ears. I saw the VH1 Duets, and fell in love with Sleep While I Drive. Over the next few months I started listening to more and more of her stuff. Finally, during Christmas Break of last year, I picked up YIA, completing my collection. I have two questions: Why MLE? Is L her middle initial or is it just used so we don't think we're saying "me" (as in "me personally)? Who would you like to hear MLE doing a duet with, and what song? Artists do not have to be living -- this is a pure wish list.

I'm Ron. Pleasedtameetchya. Um, there's been a lot of talk about what is appropriate list fare and what is not. I propose a compromise: "TAN" -- as in tangent. Something that is *just barely* related to Melissa or the the list, but may be of interest anyway. An example would be a particularlly tough day someone may be having. You could put "TAN tough day" in the subject line. Those of us who want to read *strictly* Melissa could skip over it, or delete it, or whatever. Those of us who would want to read it, could! :) I realize this may not be going along with the, according to Hoyle, rules of the list, but it may be a necessary compromise.

Ain't It Heavy -- sold me. She has such an awesome voice. When MLE sings you know it is HER. It remains one of my= very favorite songs of hers. Anjela asked: >>>Who would you like to hear MLE doing a duet with, and what song? = Artists do not have to be living -- this is a pure wish list. I have thought about this before, I can't really chose one in particular.= = I have thought about Mary Chapin-Carpentar and MLE composing a song together then performing it as a duet. I think it would be a great combination. I have also thought about MLE and Joan Jett. Maybe they to= o could compose a song and perform it together. I chose Joan simply becaus= e she has been one of my favorite singers since I was 11 years old (I'm 27 now).

After playing "Piece of my heart" by JJ the DJ was musing on about Janis & the expected resurface of her popularity with 2 bio films in pre production one of which he thought was to be filmed partly in Ardmore Studios,Ireland.!!! Now I do know that the Irish Government gives film companies incredible tax incentives to use the facilities over here which might make this probable but on contacting the Extra Agency connected to the Studio they're very tight-lipped about upcoming productions but they were particularly interested to know where I'd heard this from which may or may not be an indication of the accuracy of this news. Again I don't know if its the MLE one,but Jez you can dream,you can wish & believe me I am. I'll keep you posted. Margaret on the -least appealing- lyric thread....

I DO!!!! *raising hand* There was (very briefly) this wonderful little womyn's bar that I loved to go to after work. Pool tables, friendly bartenders, juke box, dancefloor, and of course...lotsa womyn! I must say I don't remember the exact day or month...but it was still kinda chilly, so I'm thinking early spring. I was between girlfriends at the time, and although the last had been a couple of months, some wounds do heal slowly. As I was playing pool (well, for a change!!), this extremely powerful song came on the juke and stopped me dead in my tracks! I couldn't believe the amount of passion, rage & pain that was coming from that voice!! Immediately I went to the juke to see who it was that was singing. Flipping thru the CD's I finally found it. The pic sure fit the voice! Fists clenched, head back, RED background. Her name...Melissa Etheridge. The song....Bring Me Some Water. From that moment I was hooked! The next day I went out and bought that CD....within a week I also had B&C. Not long after, NE came out. I can proudly say I have created some serious MLE fans!! I made tapes...I passed them out to friends....I talked about MLE ALL THE TIME!....they bought CD's (my friends) and passed the tapes on to their friends....I wonder how many hands those tapes went thru before they finally died??

It's pretty cool. They will choose one album of his and have a set time period (say a couple of weeks). One person sort of volunteers to collect data. Anyway, listees post reviews of the albums, and then there is usually a voting on favorite and least favorite songs on that disc. It is really quite interesting to see the results. Usually turns out that the most loved song is also the #2 or #3 most disliked song! What does everyone think of starting something like this here? Or even a vote on favorite albums? I know we are at a real loss with Melissa kind of in seclusion, so maybe we can make up some fun things to get through???

My roommate, who eventually became my partner, bought 2 tickets for her show in Halifax, Canada and she wanted me to go. She played Melissa night and day so I'd get to know her music, and it was getting on my nerves (I can't believe that today!). Anyhow, we went to the concert. WOW!! What a woman! I swear the entire lesbian population of Nova Scotia was there. When she sang YUTLTD, there was one couple dancing at the back in the open floor space and the spot light was on them throughout the song. Melissa was absolutely awesome... she plays with her heart and soul at every concert. I am now a bigger fan than my partner (now my ex :-(( ) I'd like to see her do more duets with Joan Osborne; BMSW is incredible! I haven't seen the one with kd lang yet. It's unfortunate that we don't get a lot of the single releases up here in Canada. I'm really happy that Melissa adds live recordings to her single releases. She could release a lot of different videos: one of all the official music videos that she's made; her best live performances from EACH concert series; VH1 duets; MTV Unplugged; THERE COULD NEVER, NEVER BE ENOUGH. What Melissa fan wouldn't buy them?? Would you stop going to her concerts because you owned her videos?? I DON'T THINK SO!! There is nothing like Melissa, live.... It would be great if she released some more live tracks or a video while she's taking a break, wouldn't it? Take care, "Tolerance, love, respect, understanding, and peace....

I was at the infamous Montreal concert and little did I know that it was playing simulcast on the radio or I would have had someone tape it for me. Our seats were crap, thank you MEIN, but Melissa was fabulous and the emotional Quebec crowd created an electrifying atmosphere. Her Montreal concert should be filmed some time. The last concert in Ottawa, Canada was interesting. Ottawa crowds are SO conservative, almost dead compared to Montreal. (Sorry Melissa, please come back anyhow!!!) What disappointed me most was not Melissa (never). . . Ashley McIsaac opened for her (he is incredible live!). We had 6th row floor seats, centre (thank you VERY much MEIN!)

Is L her middle initial or is it just used so we don't think we're saying "me" (as in "me personally)? Well, her name is Melissa Lou Etheridge, so it's her middle initial. Who would you like to hear MLE doing a duet with, and what song? Artists do not have to be living -- this is a pure wish list. I'd definitely have to say Janis Joplin. Just to see how they would, you know, fit together. They're both such intense singers and I think the two of them together would just be phenomenal (sp?). What song? Hmmm... probably "Me and Bobby Jay". Nick wrote: Who all remembers where they were the very first time they heard a Melissa song, and what song it was? I can't remember where I was when I first heard her, seeing as how she's played on the radio here every fifteen minutes, but I can remember the first time I saw her. It wasn't in concert, since I've never been to one. It was on tv. I've only been a fan for less than a year, so it was recently. I couldn't find anything to watch, so I began flipping channels. Then I came to VH1. Her ITOO video was playing and I watched because of the, well, the video. Little did I know, this was VH1 to One, which is kind of like a career biography of singers, sometimes even a little personal info. I watched the whole thing. Then afterwards, about six of her videos were played. I had only one of her cds (YLS), but after seeing her on tv, I fell in love and bought all of the other four. Now my friends say I'm obsessed, which I guess I am. :-) April* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 21 Jun 1997 14:49:10 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Melissa Just wanted to let you all know that there is a drawing of our Melissa on page 64 in this weeks issue of Entertainment Weekly (with Uma Thurman on the cover).

On Tue, 17 Jun 1997, Rhondda L. Ashby gave us these challenges: > 1) what's your favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? Actually I can't pick a favourite lyric, I like a lot of Melissa's songs, each for a different reason. What gets me, though, is the famous "Melissa Scream". At my first concert, I was worried about this. During YLS, I was afraid I might fall over, and slide down the bleachers, just because of the emotional energy released. When Melissa delivered that scream, however, I bit my lip and saved myself from embarrasment. I noticed that some other fans in the audience were frozen for a few seconds, or gritted their teeth, so I'm not the only one. > 2) what's your least favorite MLE lyric(s)? why? IWTCO, just because it was over-played on radio and TV. > 3) tell us about your first/favorite/worst MLE concert. My favourite concert was at Dallas TX in November 1996. I had the front row center seat (there's only one of those). And I got a two-hand handshake from Melissa after her finale. What a thrill! > 4) if joyce luck was going to brew another batch of homebrew, what MLE-related thing would you name it? ;-) "Darkened eyes brew" (from IWU). The first time I heard a Melissa song from beginning to end, was the YLS CD that my wife bought for me for Christmas/Chanuka. We were in bed, I had earphones. Listening to Melissa's rhythm, I was "dancing" horizontal in bed, and disturbed poor Brighid. My life has never been the same since. - -- Dan Cohen in Toronto [email protected] http://www.YesIC.com/dancohen 905-764-1844 ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 21 Jun 1997 16:05:50 -0500 From: [email protected] (Finlayson A Carol) Subject: *etheridge* first time a lurker comes out of the woodwork......

I've learned alot of great stuff about Melissa and all you guy's. Some people are not fond of NMEC but I would really like to talk about what happened to me and my family yesterday. My g/f and 2 of our kids and I were at a resturant yesterday for dinner and as I walked down this one aisle there were some men sitting there. First off let me say their shirts were open and they had hat's on(in a resturant)! I noticed the one facing me was staring straight at me. I looked back but minded my own business. Then as I passed he said something to his friend and they laughed. I happened to walk down this aisle again and they were blatantly laughing and making fun of me and my family. My g/f has the ability to "turn the other cheek", for me it is very hard. I was very angry and wanted to take a baseball bat and beat the crap out of them. I just wanted to defend all of us in some way. The kids were affected by it also and that added to my anger. However I didn't do anything and they left soon anyway. After they, very loudly, made fun of our hispanic waitress. Sorry about babbling. I just wanted somebody else to know what happened. Wouldn't it be nice if all diversity were accepted. Yesterday's happenings brought a whole new meaning to "walking on the edge of rage and understanding, between the black and the white, this child is so angry, alone here tonight".

Molyneaux) Subject: *etheridge* How I Got Hooked on Melissa Etheridge Hi. I'm Valerie, and I've been reading the list for a number of months now, but just haven't decided to post until now. Here goes. I don't remember the first time that I ever heard MLE (she received a whole lot of airplay with I'm the Only One, Come to My Window, and I'f I Wanted To), but I do remember what I first realized that I _had_ to get hold of her music. I was driving along in my '82 Volvo In Jacksonville, FL, where I went to high school and where my parents live (I am currently at college in Cleveland). I was then, and still am, in the habit of driving without the air-conditioning, even though my car did have it. Some people, especially residents of the South, tend to think that I am certifiably insane for doing this, but I like to drive the windows down. Anyway, it was _really_ hot, because it was the middle of August, 1994. Sweat was rolling down my back and my jeans were completely stuck to me where my butt and legs made contact with the car seat. I had to go across town to run some errand, and I made the mistake of taking the Fuller Warren Bridge-- a draw bridge that is the only point along the whole East coast where I-95 traffic can be interrupted. The traffic was horrible, so I was just sitting in the left lane sweating and waiting. I fiddle with the radio constantly when I drive, and I was doing so until I heard MLE on the radio. It was lunch hour, and one of the radio stations was in the habit of doing this thing called an "Albumside" during lunch, when they showcased a new album by playing five or six cuts from it, even ones that aren't released as singles. I stopped the radio because I had to hear who that was. After the song was over, the announcer said that this was Melissa Etheridge's new album, _Yes I Am_. He played about five songs, and although I don't remember them all, I do know that two of them were _Silent Legacy_ and _All American Girl_. I listened to the power and the conviction and the emotion in this woman's voice, and I just knew that I had to go buy her music. The best thing was that I completely forgot how hot it was, and that the traffic was terrible. I was totally taken by her voice and her lyrics, and that's how my obsession began. Okay, this post has been far too long. Thanks for reading it, if you got this far. But at least it was all MEC, right? ;) Valerie ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 21 Jun 1997 19:53:53 -0500 From: "Julie and Olivier Lebaillif" Subject: *etheridge* Duets I would love to hear Melissa and Bonnie Raitt sing together.

Y'all are gonna despise this - the first time I heard Melissa I was in the shower listening to the radio. The song was "Like the Way I Do" and I thought "God I hate that song!" Then later, I happened to see a movie with a friend of mine, cute movie called "Boys on the Side". And we watched it all the way through and on the credits they played this fabulous song called "I Take You With Me" so of course I had to go get the soundtrack, and when I found out who it was I bought the album. And the funniest thing, on that same soundtrack was this other really great song, called "Power of Two" and it was by these people Indigo Girls who I had never heard of before, and so of course I had to go out and buy 1200 Curfews, and the saga continues...... :) Peace, Harmony & Indigo, Tigger, High Priestess of Amyism ([email protected]) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Can you show me now that I will not be killed in vain, Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain!

Why? I can relate.... All of "Must be Crazy for Me"...It's so cheeky and this list goes on.... Least favorite lyric "I want you /I want you/ I want you / I don't want you" it's a little repetitive Late September Dogs 2001 Favourite and 1st concert- I've only been to one 25th April 1996 YLS tour in Sydney. It was awesome!I had row R seats in the stalls but before the curtain rose I saw fans gathering at the base of the stage and decided that was where I wanted to be. I ended up one person from the front. As Melissa reached out into the crowd to touchthe hands of frenzied fans I managed to reach up and touch the great goddess' leg, possibly here hand as well her hand as she passed her pick out to an audience member, can you believe the girl standing next to me got it!!!!!Bitch!! I was talking to her after the show and she let me hold it for a second, should have ran a way with while I had the chance lol. For those pick collectors out there it was silver with her symbol on one side and signature on the other. The down side to the concert (besides the fact that it eventually had to end) was that the girlfriend of the pick girl kept screaming inapropriately and hestrically (sp?) (ok we all scream but this was ridiculous!) at Melissa and interupting her while she was trying to chat to the audience and had to start a verse of YIA again for the same reason. As for the beer lable I have to go with Unusual Kiss Lager- I might even be inclind to drink beer if it had Melissa's lipstick mark on it! I first heard Melissa when LTWID was getting a lot of radio play back in 1988 when I was just a young little thing. I can't remember any particular moment but I had a copy of the song on a Hits of '88 tape. I always liked the song but I didn't hear anything of her again until 1994 when CTMW was out. A friend of mine had all her tapes which I promptly copied and I've been an addict ever since! Duet- I'd like to see her do "All Fired Up" with Pat Benatar. BTW I'm another Aussie!

Hello all, You know how a drug addict acts without their drugs (hopefully not)? Well, that's about how I'm feeling right now about Melissa. Like she's my drug and I just ran out of money. I feel like I'd do anything to hear or see something recent. When I get my People magazine every week, the first thing I do is flip through the pictures to see if there's one of her doing something. I watch Entertainment Tonight every night to see if they even mention her name. When I saw the premiere of Speed 2 on tv it was like "finally". Like I'd finally got a small dose of the drug I was yearning for. Now I'm yearning again and there's nothing going on. It's like I'm in the first couple days of rehab and all I can think about is the drug. Is anyone else feeling like this or am I just going nuts??? Thanks for listening.

Now three weeks ago (VERY late I think) I received a letter from them including two prices. A signed CD from Melissa and a signed promotion picture from her. I myselfe was happy about the CD because it includes some versions I didn`t have on CD before. Some of you might be shocked but I don`t really care very much for that signed picture. For me it is just an anonymous autograph from Melissa which I can`t compare to those ones I got from her personally. So I thought that I might be able to make an other true Melissa fan happy with it and I decided to start an auction for that signed picture. Now that I never ever want to make any material profit with any MLE-related thing I got for free, I will transfer ALL the money I get for that picture to the "LA Shanti" which is known to be supported by Melissa herselfe. I don`t know much about that charity but after checking with Joyce Luck (big wave to ya Joyce) I think it is a charity where I won`t do anything wrong with. Joyce was willing to help me with this and she will be the person who finally transfers the money in my name,so that everyone can be sure that the money won`t stay in my hands (there are always people who doubt) !!! The chance that someone from the US will be willing to pay most for that pic is pretty high and so I decided to choose a US charity so that there won`t be to much loss for the profit of any bank. Okay it should all work like this: I will make a scan of that picture and try to find some people who will pubish the hole thing on their MLE-related homepage, until July 1st. Then I will take offers run until August 1st and the person with the highest offer will send the money to Joyce Luck and when Joyce tells me she got the money I will send the signed picture (I add a MLE guitarstring, LOL) to the �winner". If the highest bid was a fake (and I just hope that no one takes this for joking around) we will go with the next lower one and so on.... PLEASE SEND ALL YOUR SERIOUS (!!!!!!!!) BIDS ONLY THIS WAY: To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: My bid: ?(the amount)? US $ Body: (Whatever you want to) LOL e.g. don`t ever tell my name to public (won`t do then !!!) To make it easier please only offer in full US $ and I will start in offering 15 US $ as the first bid. Just hope someone goes higher !!!! LOL I will try to always post the highest bid so that everyone knows what it is up to. Hope this auction will be liked and suported by the most of you ...

Have I missed something? Please explain I'm not Allison, who posted the report about MLE at the U2 concert, but I can explain this one, I think - Brad Pitt has apparently ended his engagement/relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow. According to our friend (sic) A.J. Benza (cough, cough, gag) on the E! Gossip Show this weekend (no, I don't regularly watch, I was just channel surfing, honestly!) apparently a couple of weeks ago, Brad sent Ms. Paltrow a 22 carat diamond bracelet, but the couple went splitsville a couple of days later anyway. . . sounds to me like Gwyneth may be the one needing consoling, because 22 carats of diamonds scream "I'm sorry I cheated baby I'll never do it again" to me! But that is just IMVVVHO. >Also Tracey (from Australia) what is MMM? Melbourne Melissa Members?? Well, I am Tracey, but I am not from Australia (lest any of you were wondering when I moved overseas. . . :-D) though I did mention the MMM. . . it stands for Melbourne Missy Mafia and was simply a pet name for a great gang of gals from, of course, Melbourne. I was feeling a twinge of nostalgia regarding the MMM after reading archive postings regarding the Aussie leg of the YLS tour and an infamous purple sock. ;-) Hope this leaves everyone feeling satisfied, clarified and. . . something else-ified on a lovely Sunday!

Hi. I'm new to the list so please forgive me if I break any rules. I'm delurking now because I do remember the first time I heard Melissa. It was Nov. or Dec. 1988 and I was working in a little bookstore. My boss used to bring in mix tapes and TLSD jumped out at me one day. When my boss told me who it was, I thought ME was one of those obscure 70's singer-songwriters he listened to, but I asked him to tape it for me. A couple weeks later he played another mix tape with IWY on it. That one stopped me in my tracks. When he told me who it was, I said "No way, the same one who does Late Sept. Dogs?" He looked surprised, then said "Oh yeah, you didn't know she could rock, did you?" I bought the red album and I've been a fan ever since. While I'm posting, favorite lyrics: - -BAC - just classic rock abandon. - -"Be strong, believe in who you are. Be strong, believe in what you feel" from the live version of SL - because so much is said to bring people down and those words are a much needed antidote. Least favorite lyrics: There are a few I don't like, but no need to mention names. If Melissa sings 'em, I'll listen. That voice gets me every time. Best concert: Washington, DC - Dec. 94. I told a friend before the show that there were 3 songs I really wanted to hear (YUTLTD, LGIO, POMH) but I would be happy to hear just one. She played all three. I had first seen her only months before and was worried that she couldn't possibly top that show and that I would therefore be a little disappointed. Definitely not! Duets: - -"Mustang Sally" and -"Midnight in Memphis" with Bette Midler - -"Mainstreet" - actually, I'd like to hear her sing this alone with her accoustic guitar... OK, that's all. Sorry it's so long. Back to lurking...

And congrats on your book .. hope the sales in Australia are making you a very wealthy woman! And apologies for contributing to the discussion concerning Elaine. Have already replied to Tracey. I certainly did not intend to perpetuate any ill feelings towards someone I think contributed a great deal of insightful discussion to the list. As for MLE singing a duet with someone ... would really like to see a well rehearsed live version of Royal Station with Bono playing harmonica and singing with MLE. Not quite sure who I would have as the guitarist. Any suggestions? Kevin and Fritz would still be my choices for bass and drums.

I'm Lisa, I live in Austin Tx, and I have a terrifying habit of checking my email at least twice a day. Just to jump in with both bare feet, I thought I'd give my own answers to the discussion q's: 1. fave lyrics--"Dance Without Sleeping" don't ask me why. They don't really make a whole lot of sense to me, but neither does Dylan Thomas, and I like him too. 2. least fave--I don't think I've encountered any yet that I don't like. 3. My only concert experience thus far was in Austin and my very best friend and I were having spasms of happiness for the next...well, we still are. An amusing anecdote--halfway through the concert Melissa noticed they were selling snowcones and demanded a blue one from a vendor. She then proceeded to feed parts of it to the band and stick her tongue (which looked eerily like she'd been eating Smurfs) out at the giant monitors. Then she promptly began to chuckle when she encountered the lyric, "Cotton candy fingers and a snowcone mouth." 4.

I was with my (now ex) husband who was looking at pcs, so I wandered over to watch MTV...and there she was playing No Souvenirs. I was completely blown away. It probably sounds silly, but she was the first female artist I'd seen who didn't look ridiculous holding a guitar; more than that, she knew how to play the hell out of it! I memorised her name and the title of the album and went out and bought it the next day...and that was it - hooked! I managed to see her the a year or 2 later in Birmingham's (tiny!) Irish Centre and stood in the front row, only a few feet from her (in the days before she had such a security presence) and I was completely mesmerised by her. (Incidentally, Andrew Cash was her support then...a Canadian...does anyone know if he's still going ?) But my favourite Melissa concert...has to be seeing her in October 1995. She played a very small venue here in London (Dingwalls). I went with Kate Blackmon who (as some of you know) I actually met through this list, even though she works just down the corridor from me. She got tix to the concert, said something about it on the list, I emailed her...and she very kindly took me along. The concert was *fantastic*. The sound in such a small veune was incredible, it was great being so close to Melissa - she looked so happy, and wow - those eyes! Unfortunately, I was trying so hard to be cool in front of Kate that I missed an opportunity to talk to Melissa after the show (!), but I did get to go for a drink with her guitar techs. As for Kate....well, six months (several concerts & late nights out) later we finally got together and haven't looked back since... ;) Aaah - the powers of Melissa's music, not to mention this list...! :) Sarah ***** ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #123 ******************************* Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 12:17:47 -0600 (MDT) From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #124 etheridge-digest Monday, June 23 1997 Volume 01 : Number 124 *etheridge* It's for you *etheridge* Melissa on Pride CD *etheridge* Y'all must be crazy for me *etheridge* auction - L.A.

Suzanne Glass writes: >The new threads are interesting. Who all remembers where they were the >very first time they heard a Melissa song, and what song it was? I've shared before, but I can share again. I was a senior in highschool (oh, alright...1987...eeewww...) and I had stayed late after an away softball game with my coach to 'help her scout our next opposing team' for the sectionals (little did I know...or maybe want to admit...that I was being flirted with and flirting back ). Of course, I missed the bus back to the school and *had to* take the 45 minute ride back to my own car in the coach's Pulsar w/the t-tops out. Ok, ok...to the point (I'm not sure I still have one, however)... She popped a tape in the tape-deck and said, "I'll bet you'll like this...some friends in California taped this in a bar and sent it to me." Well, needless to say, I was really blown away by "this chick" (as I so non-chalantly referred to MLE). I asked for a copy of the tape, but my coach never got around to making it for me. :-( There were a couple of covers and some stuff that I've not heard since (or maybe it's just been re-worked since then). What I wouldn't give to have a copy of that tape now! It's been so long, though, and I only listened to the tape one more time after that day...I really couldn't tell you exactly what was on it. [email protected] writes: >>NMEC is allowable as long as it's in good taste and follows the guide- >>lines set forth for MLE-related posts. NMEC is a big part of what >>makes this list 'family' to a great number of people. >So isn't that a contradiction to whoever said not to post personal stuff??? No, not really. There's a fine line between getting to know each other and providing group therapy for one another on-list. Read a little further in the guidelines (not to be confused with the FAQ). They say that the moderator (myself) or the owners reserve the right to ask that certain topics or threads be taken off-list. The only off-topic stuff that you'll ever get a warning for will be posting of chain letters, urban legends, petitions or inane cross-postings, etc. Like I said before, I've even posted to the list over certain things that upset me, but most of the support that I've received from lister buddies has been through private mail (except for the time when I was killed in a car accident...but that's another matter all-together!). I even said that if you feel strongly enough to post about a hard or difficult situation you're in, then go ahead...but if the list becomes flooded with responses or everyone decides that it's 'share a problem' week, someone will most likely intervene and ask that it be taken off-list. >(Not snotty, just confused.) We're gettin' there! :-) Here's a good example...go check out Jiblet's post at the end of this digest that I'm responding to (or 7 or 8 messages after the above quoted post of your's, if you're on bounce) where she's talking about her fav concerts (tied in w/visiting rhondda)...she ties in a personal story to her fav concert about why the last show of '96 was so special to her. You've learned a little more about Jib's personal life in addition to her thoughts on MLE. Through my story about my first MLE experience, you know that I'm breathing down 30's neck, I played softball and flirted with my coach (but don't *all* good baby dykes do that? ), and I had a rare opportunity to hear MLE way far east of Cally before ME ever hit the stores. We're both telling some personal experiences, and letting other people learn more about us, but it's all tied in with MLE. That's basically how I've learned what I know about other listers, with a few exceptions where I've corresponded more with certain people through email. Also, go back to the archives and read rhondda's "Sleep While I Drive" tour notes from last year's YLS tour. This is how we have all come to know each other...through MLE-related posts such as these.

I'm off to bed...only to have to wake up again at some point (how much trouble would I *really* be in if I overslept in the morning? :-) later, jen--who had enough of Gatlinburg for a life-time...and that was just after driving through it on Friday night (well, Pigeon Forge didn't help much)...and who is now addicted to Laser Tag (*and* who looked kinda cute in the Q-Zar vest...Joyce, it might just rival the tool belt!) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 23 Jun 1997 16:18:58 -0700 From: [email protected] (Tim Dunker) Subject: *etheridge* GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!

Shanti Whew! I've been away from my computer (and email) for three weeks, and most of that absence was a much-needed vacation, my first *real* holiday in nearly two years. My primary connection to this list during those weeks has been vicarious, via Rhondda ('Hi' sweetie!)... glad to see you're enjoying yourself in LA-LA-land... please give a big hug to Jib and Allison for me! Today I returned to work (and email) with an 'in-box' overflowing with three weeks of email from two-dozen mailing-lists (averaging 200 emails per day)... needless to say, I'll be busy for days sorting through the email... I know I owe many of you private email (or tape trades), and there are several posts to which I will respond later, but the following interchange is one of many which caught my immediate attention: On Sun, 22 Jun 1997, Tim Dunker offered to auction a signed photo of Melissa, giving all money from the auction to LA Shanti: >I will transfer ALL the money I get for that picture to the "LA Shanti" >which is known to be supported by Melissa herselfe. > >I don`t know much about that charity but after checking with Joyce Luck >(big wave to ya Joyce) I think it is a charity where I won`t do anything >wrong with. > >Joyce was willing to help me with this and she will be the person who >finally transfers the money in my name,so that everyone can be sure that >the money won`t stay in my hands (there are always people who doubt) !!! On Mon, 23 Jun 1997, "Susan Christopher" responded: >I'd think there'd be more worry about what L.A. Shanti does with the >money. Around the time Melissa got the VH-1 Honors award for her work >with them, they were being investigated for misappropriation of funds. >I never did read the results of that investigation. Anybody know? Susan raises an excellent question... in early 1995 I read several news articles about LA Shanti and *what appeared to be* misappropriation of funds by that organization... like many non-profit organizations, LA Shanti depends heavily on volunteer labor... unfortunately, that dependency included some bookkeeping work, which resulted in faulty bookkeeping... tax auditors spent a long time reviewing where money was really being spent (which caused news reports of misappropriated funds), but a long and painful audit process demonstrated LA Shanti had *not* mis-spent funds, but they had (unintentionally) mis-reported where funds were spent. They are not the first non-profit agency which failed to realize the one place they *must not* be unprofessional is keeping financial books. They now use professional licensed accounting services, they have been cleared of charges, and they continue to be a highly cost-efficient non-profit agency, as they have been for over a dozen years. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- John Miller, San Jose CA ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 23 Jun 1997 13:10:39 -0500 From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Re: MLE as Batgirl???? I believe the individual who stated that Alicia Silverstone looked like MLE running around, was referring to Miss Silverstone's physical appearance. Prior to the filming of Batman, the media made a fuss concerning the extra weight Alicia Silverstone had gained. After viewing the film, it is obvious that AS did not lose the extra pounds. She appeared stocky (a la MLE) in the movie. BTW, the film was an absolute bore. Maybe if I had imagined MLE in the role of Batgirl, the pic would have been more enjoyable.

There you go, confirmation even. These women had their thinking hats on in spite of the near overwhelming shock of locating our lady out in public. This sighting along with Tim's wonderful news made my Monday actually bearable, hard to believe. While I'm here, maybe a short response to Rhondda's original posting: Favorite lyrics Well, being the Real Fan (tm) that I am, ALL of them mean so much to me that it was incredibly hard to pick or choose. However, if forced I can come up with the following: The entirety of The Letting Go simply for the words ability to capture such a painful time in life so eloquently. "The way you make the buffalo roam." Merely for selfish reasons the image that brings to mind after VH1 Storytellers never ceases to bring a smile to my face. (Just ask Shirl) "Silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone" Late September Dogs The words always remind me that people too often use silence as a weapon. I wear it on my arm as a tattoo so I never forget this. Any of her killer screams, be they from SL, YLS, Janice, whatever. I agree with Dan and Vanessa here, those screams just rip through me like nothing else. You can't find passion like that anywhere else. Lease favorites, need you ask. I have none Favorite concerts: Oh, way too many it seems. The wind and the rain at Jones Beach were amazing. And I certainly can't forget Melissa coming back out after the delay and asking "Are ya soaking wet?" Hershey park, my first "touch" from Melissa and meeting so many new Listers in those groovy purple bowling shirts. Las Vegas - a horrendous audience but thats where I won my autographed guitar and met Tim Dunker for the first time. Tacoma - my first meeting with Rhondda and Jib, got rear ended on the way to the show, then got a pick at the small stage. Sacramento - that amazing rendition of MMITB right in front of my face at the small stage. I was entranced. San Diego - where Melissa's photographer was asking my bud Janelle and I if it was all right to take our pictures, then proceeded to stick that camera virtually in my face for a while. Tough to dance like an idiot with that happening. And the most wondeful lingering touch from Melissa at the end of that concert. All the way up my arm, I don't think I've forgotten it yet. LA - Ah, Tim what we went through to get those lighted letters into that show. Was it worth it? You bet! I'll never forget Melissa's look as she finally figured out what the heck was going on out there in the 7th row. Enough, maybe I'll relax tonight with a bottle of Bailey Brew, Never Enough Lager, or BraveNCrazy Ale. Decisions, decisions.

I do think the consensus is that you only throw purple socks between songs, and only with notes of undying affection/requests for IRLY attached, and only after consuming large quantities of Unusual Kiss Ale/Barley Jean/Shriner's Bock/raspberry weissbeer and playing with a doberpuppy.

(If it has come around in the interim, you may ignore the remainder of this post). I made a few transactions there myself today, and found that MLE is now trading at a whopping $99.01 per share. Comparatively, Bush and No Doubt were both seling at $35.53/share (Coincidence since Gavin & Gwen, the lead singers of these groups are dating? Nah!) Ellen's galpal Anne Heche is trading in the low 50s and President Clinton is selling at $64.70. I think we can definitely get MLE over the $100 mark today, and if we decide that we have no lives, as the Counting Crows fans obviously have, maybe we can get her shares up to CC's price of $7000+ per share.

There's a bunch of us addicts of Melissa out here, aren't there? THANK YOU TIM, for posting that we may see a tour in 1998. Hopefully, this will happen. I'm dying to see Melissa again!! Favorite lyrics? hmmmm..."I would dial the numbers just to listen to your breath". I love that opening line. Least fav? any in "the boy feels strange" Favorite concerts? The two that i have attended so far. Inidanapolis, IN. Two years in a row seeing her. They both were incredible!! When Melissa did SL, the crowd was into it. She got down on the stage floor and proceeded to make out with her guitar. Also, when she did "You shook me all night long", the crowd and I were blown away!! That was on June 7, 1995. Oct. 18, 1996 was a three hour show with just MLE and band. Whoah, that was pure esctasy!! What a night that was. Duets? Anybody!! If Janis were around, her.

On p. 32, there is a mention of two of MLE's friends from Berklee days, Lauren Passarelli & Cindy Brown. I thought those names sounded familiar, so I rooted through my tape collection, and sure enough! they put out a tape in 1989, as a duo named Two Tru. The tape is called "Among the Ruins," and I bought it on impulse from Ladyslipper (http://www.ladyslipper.org) because their description sounded intriguing. It's actually quite a nice tape, and I've listened to it a lot; sort of a melodic-pop-folk-rock thing with keyboards & guitar. I had no idea they were FriendsOfMLE (though I was already listening to her at that point), and never really knew much about them except that they were from Boston. Anyhow, I got a kick out of discovering the connection! MLE is not thanked in the liner notes (although Angela Motter, a way cool singer/guitarist/songwriter from Atlanta, is). And, I'm not going to offer to boot this for anyone, although if anybody actually is in contact with Lauren & Cindy (Joyce... ?) and can tell me for sure the tape is no longer available & they wouldn't mind it being booted, I will try to track down a second tape deck. There's no address listed on the insert, and Ladyslipper doesn't carry the tape anymore... but it really is a very nice tape. :-) - ------------------- Where was I the first time I heard MLE? Well, in 1988, I'd seen her name mentioned somewhere -- probably in Hot Wire, after her appearances at Rhythmfest & other women's music festivals -- and Ladyslipper's blurb about the first CD made me put her on my "check this out someday" list. When I ran across the CD in a music store, I was -- shall we say, *intrigued* -- by the cover art, and took a chance on it. Within the first 45 seconds of "Similar Features" I was *hooked*. I remember sitting in my living room, listening, and saying to myself, "I *love* this!" :-) I caught her on Letterman not long after that, and was very impressed with her performance (no duh, Anne). Didn't get to see her perform live until the Brave & Crazy tour, November 1990; fifth row seats, and -- well, y'all know what kind of effect that concert had on me! (Her last song was one she introduced as being a new song, and it was called "From Where I Stand" -- I've seen *very* few references to this song; is it booted anywhere?) I have found more good music by trusting Ladyslipper's blurbs, I tell ya. :-) Actually, that's how I discovered disappear fear, too. Best time hearing MLE? That's easy. The second concert I went to was in the spring of 1994, in Indianapolis at the Murat, the night before Easter. MEIN came through with third row seats for me and the woman I was seeing at the time (who lived halfway across the country; this was her second visit to Indiana -- oh yeah, we met on this list). Musically, it probably wasn't as good as the B&C show I saw (kinda hard to top "Let's Get It On," much as I liked "Maggie May"). But there's just something amazing about being in the 3rd row with a new love who's seeing MLE for her first time. Whee. :-) We drove down to Louisville the next night (Easter Sunday) to see her again, and got third row seats again! I know I reviewed these shows on the list, so that's out there on the archives somewhere. The relationship didn't work out in the end, but the concert at the Murat is way up there with one of my All-Time Favorite Memories. And with that, I think I've hit my posting quota for the month.

Also, Tori mentioned that there was some discussion about L.A. Shanti. I seem to recall that a couple of years ago L.A. Shanti was under investigation for misappropriation of federal funds. There was a big stir about millions of dollars they couldn't account for. I'm pretty sure it was LA Shanti and not a parent organization, or an organization with a similar name, but I couldn't find anything on the Web, so I'm reluctant to state it as fact. But I thought I'd mention it; there are many other AIDS charities (AmFAR, Whitman-Walker Clinic, GMHC) which are very deserving and not scandal-ridden. >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >Date: Sun, 22 Jun 1997 19:33:43 -0500 >Reply-To: Ellen DeGeneres Mailing List >From: cheri >Comments: To: Ellen DeGeneres Mailing List >To: Multiple recipients of list ELLEN > >Hey everyone, > >I happened to pass that Barney's window, so I thought I'd relay the scene >for anyone that's interested. > >Basically, there are two mannequins erupting out of a papier-mache volcano. >The mannequin on the left is holding a popsicle stick with a paper >caricatured illustration of Ellen's face.

Maybe I am wrong, but I believe that Our Lady of LeopardSkinGoldLameTrousers (TM) wants us to be emotionally overwrought, jealous, and vindictive, especially with regard to former lovers and their new partners. And the emotional guidance she gives us cannot help but spill over into our dealings with newbies, whom we should metaphorically soak with sulfuric acid and flame as much as possible. But, from what I am hearing there are a few people on this list who do not wish to hear any instructions to new listers and suggestions about being good Listizens. They only want to have a "nicey-nicey" list. A list where off-topic posts and discussions that should be taken to private e-mail are encouraged. Big Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Here! I wonder if Melissa's lyrics such as "Similar Features" and "Chrome-Plated Heart" were inspired by "nicey-nicey" people and events. I think not! As for not wanting posts with at least some Melissa content, I am quite guilty of posting concert reviews, song parodies, etc., myself. Maybe I should leave and never post again if it is offending people so very much. I am just a mean old person (Yay! I suck!), but I feel in my heart that the list has the potential for being witty and sarcastic and Melissa-focused again, even if Deb and Elaine are no longer around and when the list starts to drift from Dave and Glenna's original charter we "elders" should try to set it back on its course. Especially if Jen is willing to don the LeatherSuitandWhip (TM).

Out of curiosity I asked where the seats were. Apparently they were DJ's who had been given complimentary front row seats. He sold both tix to us for $50. I was the happiest I'd been in months. MLE played all my fav songs, touched my hand, and I got John Shanks guitar string. I even got to meet my MLE pen pal from upstate New York. Three hours of Rock n Roll heaven.

I think that we should all settle down a bit and remind ourselves what keeps us together on this list: the need to constantly critique MLE's hairstyles, clothing, weight, complexion, set lists, tours or lack thereoff, etc. And I think that she wouldn't mind if you remind people of the list's long heritage, so KATE keep doing what you're doing, 'cause you do it so well. Pollyannas will always be around trying to make the sun shine on our parade, but hopefully there will always be an Oscar the Grouch to yell "Hey, you over there, shut up and get out of my neighbourhood!"

It was my first concert, though I had been a fan several years. I was one of the few not in MEIN who had tix, I think, for this is a small theatre venue. The show was great. I had some real fun, though, as I went with a guy and a girl, both bandmates of mine, who were not as big of fans. However, as I found out, both were entirely unsure of their sexual orientation (and may be to this day, sadly for them). Rhonda, who just can't admit she is gay, was on a total hyper trip with the open lesbianism. And Kimble, he has to be bi- but won't admit it - was freaked because none of the beautiful ladies were one bit interested in him. I was just enjoying my concert! But it was an interesting drive home, what with the two of them battling their hormones and denial.Leave it to a ME show to get people thinking deep thoughts about their sexuality!

I am soooo excited cause Dave & Glenna are here. We had a coffee this morning and later tonight they are coming over for a BBQ. This will NOT be a la FF '97 style, I have to work early in the morning and our wonderful list owners have quite a bit of sight seeing to do tomorrow before they head off to Vancouver. Hopefully we will get a chance to hop on my computer and say a group hello later on today. I would just like to comment on some recent stuff I have seen on the list regarding the bowling shirts. The actual shirt was produced in Calgary, Alberta and all the screening was done here in Banff, Alberta. There is a chance that the screens are still at the shirt printing company but that is a slim possibility. It would be otherwise impossible to duplicate their design exactly, as the drawing on the back of the shirt is my own. If the interest is in having the same shirt produced the only one able to do that would be me. I am unable to undertake that kind of project right now. But for whoever may be interested in doing something along those lines, I would like to offer you some advice. It requires a tremendous amount of work and time to coordinate this kind of project. I reccommend that you only take prepayment for these shirts, as I encountered some difficulty collecting money for some of them. Also I suggest that you have a fair bit of time on your hands to devote to it. All in all it is a rewarding adventure, it is how I have met some really wonderful people, but should you decide to take on an assignment of this magnatude, I suggest you be prepared to have a lot on your plate. If you have any questions I would be happy to respond to your private e-mails. Have a GREAT day!!!

We brought the food; she's taking us out for ice cream later. Getting online has been interesting lately. You've never lived until you've asked a southern Wisconsin tourism agent where the nearest cyber cafe is. :-) BTW - If ever you happen to be in Missoula, Montana, and need to check your email, drop by Cyberstation -- they're really friendly. Well yes its true, Glenna & David brought the hot dogs, I am hardly ever home enough to cook, let alone take the food out of the fridge before it rots.

It's an extensive and wonderfully written list of facts >about MLE..which did my little heart some good! i think some of the confusion may be due to the meaning of the terms "FAQ", "netiquette", and "posting guidelines". jen already posted the "posting guidelines" in one of her posts last week, so i won't go into those. FAQ, or Frequently Asked Questions, are just that - those questions about the subject of the list, in our case Melissa Etheridge, that are asked ad nauseum, i.e. when's her birthday? what's her middle name? most, if not all, lists have a FAQ, which is usually sent upon subscribing to the list or is made available via ftp or a listserv command or a WWW site. "netiquette" is a term that means generally acceptable net behavior. you know, stuff like don't quote entire posts just to add "me, too", etc. here are a couple of great sites that explain what is "proper" netiquette (borrowed shamelessly from mary mcdonald's welcome letter to the "ellen" list ): >The Net Users Guidelines and Netiquette by Arlene H.

In hopes of soaking you all in a bit too much honey and kindness I will step forth and say a few words. " Imagine" I would love to hear Melissa sing this song. I think the passion she would put forth would make it all seem quite possible. I once saw Piglet imagine he could fly and with a little help from his friends, it happened! :) It is not an easy thing to soar with broken wings but once mended and you find yourself back in the clouds looking down on it all, you appreciate what flight is all about. In the quiet times of the Etheridge/Cypher household there is new life growing daily and new wings sprouting. Imagine teaching these wings to fly and how to soar above predjudices and hurtful words. Teach your children well! Oh what a verse. Imagine if we all could start over and be taught to share our toys and love one another, my what a wonderful place it would be. I truly believe in this list and in its kindness and why we are here. And I truly imagine that Melissa is kind to strangers and practices daily that kindness is the key and things imagined can become reality for afterall she is living proof of what happens when once we imagine and then believe. I leave you with this. I trust, I love, I believe and I imagine a world where people care for and love one another. If not you then who to pass it on and keep the legacy alive. In the woods lives a doe and her new children. She hides them until she feels it is safe to bring them out into the open meadow. In doing so risks loosing them to those who do not love and cherish life. In my life I have sat in the meadow and been introduced to her family for she knew no fear from this bear and truly my life has been made richer because I imagined she trusted. I hold this moment in my heart when something wild trusted just as I. Believe, and know that this bear is always gonna be on this list trusting that the love and kindness we all share will spread just as Melissa's music for something so good and strong cannot be kept a secret it must be given away for all to bask in and make the world a better place. Imagine that! :) Much Warmth, "POOH" ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 25 Jun 1997 10:03:36 -0500 From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* duet dreams--or nightmares?

My absolutely favorite line from her is: "It's not the love that dies, but the understanding ways." That line has always stuck out in my mind because i think it's so true. When breakups happen, it's not necessarily because the love is no longer there, but because the understanding ceases to exist. It's just a powerful line and presents a powerful image to me. As for bad lyrics.... the scream at the end of YLS drives me insane. In fact, if i hear the song and have the opportunity to end it before the scream, i do. One other line, or phrase, immediately comes to mind - the whole rhyming sequence of wine, vine, mine from YLS also is really bad. I can't remember it word for word at the moment, but i don't really care to. I just think it's so......bad. It seems so juvenile in comparison to the majority of her lyrics.

First of all I want to apologize to the people who inquired about my story of me and my ex girlfriend. I still have your letters in my in-box, guys, but I haven't had time to write it out. Rest assured I will! Please have faith. Second, I want to share my first Melissa listening experience. The first song I heard was "Come to my Window" from Yes I Am. After that, I was the video for "I'm The Only One" and then I was hooked. I guess what made that album special for me was that was the year I first came out to someone. Three years ago....I'm sure if I tried, I could find the exact date I did it, too. First concert? Well, I haven't been to one yet....but someone said in the summer of 1998? I'll be there!! I gotta go and start my day. Kate, (what a great name....where have I heard it before?) I loved your songs...have I missed any from the past? Let me know!! -Kate "I calculated the odds that this plan was going to work, and that I was doing something really stupid, and well, I went ahead and did it anyways." - -Crow T.

This program describes the unusual history of the CASTRO neighborhood, known by many as the west coast's 'gay mecca'... while there are some who might disagree with the nickname, the Castro has certainly played a significant role (social and political) in expanding gay visibility and gay rights. Here's the "SMEC"... show is being advertised on KQED with Melissa singing 'Change' in the background while announcer's voice-over describes the show. It's being shown as part of local TV's annual Gay Pride month (for which final festivities and parade are scheduled this weekend in San Francisco). I know several on this list are coming to attend San Francisco's Pride celebration this weekend, and I'm planning a small dinner in the Castro Saturday night with some visiting ME-listers... if there are any listers who would like to join us Saturday evening for dinner, let me know via private email, so I can include you in our plans.

Just wanted to say that I just saw Trisha Yearwood on the country channel (CMT?) singing "You Can Sleep While I Drive". She's such a beautiful singer and I thought she covered the song well. At first I thought "she has her nerve", but then she did such a good job that I actually ordered the cd that it's on. Of course, she's no Melissa... :-) April* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 25 Jun 1997 12:16:26 -0700 From: "Rhondda L. Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* kate's list, my response to my own list of topics now that i'm back from my over-way-too-quickly vacation in la-la land, i thought that i'd respond to some of last week's threads. first, thanks to everyone who replied to my list of topics. yeah, like trace said, they're old standbys, but i was getting desperate! it was either that or i was going to ask everyone to submit their favorite jello shot recipes! ;-) IMNSHO, we were drowning in a sea of pathetic, self-pitying, "my life sucks more than yours and let me tell you in excruciating detail why" posts with nary a MLE-related tidbit in sight. as several people have stated, everyone has a bad day now and then (sometimes more than one), and it's great that we can stick by each other and give each other some advice. sure, everyone needs a place to go, but if the sad, pathetic people were able to find this list, i'm sure that they could find other lists or newsgroups or even a free clinic that could help them sort out their problems. second, i did not mean to imply in my post explaining kate's list that NMLEC posts are not allowed on the list. quite the contrary. anyone who checks the archives or has been on the list for awhile knows that i have been one of the more vocal supporters of NMLEC in my 2+ years on the list. heaven knows, i've contributed my fair share of that. i never thought i'd admit it, but even this lister has her limit! it was obvious that many of the new listers did not understand kate's hilarious parody, and that is why i attempted to shed some light on it. i was not trying to tell you *why* some of those things have caused flame wars in the past (ours is not to reason why ), but merely to explain kate's intention (if i can be so bold to speak for our pal from across the pond... ;-) ) in posting her list. so, how 'bout i respond to my own list of topics? 1) and 2) - many people have already responded with their faves/least faves that correspond with mine, so i won't respond to this one. we know by now that adding a "me too" is a major list faux pas, even if it's a "yeah, me too" ala the punster! ;-) 4) i'd say that michelle wins the prize hands down for her "barley jean" brew - that's the best one i've seen so far. oh, and btw, meech, where's the rest of your BJ song parody, hmmm?? ;-) 3) jib posted her review of last year's SF show while i was visiting her and allison this w/e (i was lurking on their couch drinking a yummy edgy-mocha ). that's probably my favorite MLE concert of all time. boy, let me assure you that nothing beats *free* front row seats (not to mention a complete autographed MLE catalog :-) )! my full YCSWID tour report is in the archives for any of those who might be interested in reading it. so, i think i'll just report on my 1st MLE concert, which was at the san jose event center in 9/94 before i joined the list (i joined on 4/10/95). i've reported a bit about this in the past, but not in depth. i've been a fan since the *red album* (yes, to answer someone's recent question, MLE did release at least ME and B&C on vinyl; i'm not sure about her subsequent releases), but i never got around to seeing her in concert before. i read many reviews of her bay area concerts, kicking myself for not going each time. because i was in DC assisting on a 6-week IP trial, i missed MLE's appearance at the 1993 bridge school benefit (i've gone 8 out of 10 years). one of my friends who did go told me that she stole the show (and he's a BIG simon & garfunkle fan [they were the headliners]) with her janis tribute. by the time her YIA tour rolled around, i was primed to see the spectacle for myself. i was not disappointed. i asked my brother and a friend of mine if they wanted to go to the SJ concert with me, and they both said yes. i didn't actually buy the tix to the show until a day or 2 after they originally went on sale (which is pretty damn lackadaisical for this anal ticket buyer!). needless to say, they weren't the greatest seats - a couple of rows at the very top of the section (row x, i believe) - but since the section was located about 3 sections back in the arena along the side, i knew that we'd have a pretty good view of the stage (this was back when i wasn't as much as a ticket snob as i am now ). when we got to the arena and found our seats during billy pilgrim's opening set, all of us exclaimed in dismay. due to MLE's staging, the 1st two side sections had been blocked off, so now we were sitting in the 1st section along the side. what were originally decent seats were now obstructed by some of MLE's staging. we were shocked! apparently, a MLE/Bill Graham Presents' (our promoter) employee was waiting for people to fill in those awful seats, because just a few seconds later, a woman came up to us, apologized for the bad seats, mumbled something about the staging, and offered us seats in the same section, but 2 rows off the floor (row b)! we gave her our stubs, and she escorted us to our new seats. these were *much* better. whew! all of us were ecstatic! we now had an incredible view of the stage. finally, the lights went down, and this huge roar erupted from the audience. i had never heard anything like it before at a rock concert - a distinctively higher pitched rumble. MLE flew out, jumping over the center stage risers to open with CTMW. wow! what an energetic entrance! damn, this concert was off to a good start! other highlights: dave beyer playing MLE's and john's guitars and mark's bass with his drum sticks during CPH...getting low and crazy during MBCFM. i should interject some background info here. while i was a huge fan of ME and was familiar with parts of B&C and NE (more of this one), i had only listened to YIA once before going to the concert. i was familiar with the hits, but that was about it. anyway, after doing her acoustic set, MLE launched into AAG. the audience started rushing the stage. i was saying, "whoa", to myself, not only because i was getting excited by the audience's reaction, but also because as i listened to the opening chords of AAG, i thought, "wow, this is cool! MLE's doing [the stones'] 'satisfaction'." as she sang the opening verse, i thought, "oops, guess not!" when john shanks played the opening portion of "maggie may" on the mandolin, i was pleasantly surprised! of course, this cover takes on a whole new meaning when it's sung by a woman. another interjection here: BMSW was the 1st MLE song i ever heard - i'm not sure, but i imagine that i heard it on KFOG, my favorite bay area radio station. not only did they give BMSW a good deal of airplay, they also played a few more of the songs from ME: SF, CPH, and LTWID. it was hearing LTWID for the first time that locked it up for me. i had to have this album! i ran out and purchased it soon thereafter. anyway, back to the concert...during the break between the encores, i was hoping that she'd do LTWID because it was truly one of my favorites. little did i know that it was her signature tune! d'oh! i was totally jazzed that she did it, but i surely wasn't prepared to hear a 15-minute version. wow! after the show was over, my brother, my friend, and i walked around the outside perimeter of the arena hoping to catch a glimpse of MLE or maybe even an autograph. we finally found where the artists' exit was located, but decided that we were too tired (and old!) to hang out, so we left. all of us were excited about how good the concert was, singing along at the top of our lungs to a tape during the car ride home. :-) i seriously considered going to her concord pavilion show the next day even though i didn't have a ticket, but i couldn't get anyone to go with me and since concord is about an hour away from where i live, i decided to forego the show. :-( the following spring (1995), someone in my MIS dept. showed me how to use Yahoo, so i decided to search for information about certain artists. based on YIA's continuing popularity, i had a feeling that MLE would come back for a shed tour in the spring and summer, and i felt that being on a mailing list would give me the most up-to-date information about any upcoming shows. that's how i ran across this list. i subbed to the list just before MLE did her "VH1 tickets first" thingy. because of the information i received from this list, i was able to get 10th row seats to MLE's 5/95 shoreline amphitheatre show. what began as a quick way to obtain current information about MLE's 1995 tour turned into so much more. more than i could ever have imagined. if it weren't for this list, i wouldn't have met the friends i currently have, known about MLE's upcoming TV appearances, traded with listers all over the world, or even been able to plan last december's 8-show YCSWID tour with jib and tim. and for that, i am sincerely and most humbly grateful. :-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 25 Jun 1997 16:55:55 -0400 (EDT) From: halfpint Subject: *etheridge* the tape for my friend i am doing this on blind faith, only because of the stories i've heard about melissa's songs touching people's souls, her lyrics reaching where other things cannot reach, and because i love her style... i know i've mentioned my close friend who is in a psychotic, catatonic state, not responding to anything... i'm making her a tape of melissa etheridge songs to play for her, hey at this point i'm willing to try anything! so far i have come to my window, no souvenirs, ain't it heavy, the boy feels strange, keep it precious, nowhere to go, i want to come over, all the way to heaven, shriner's park, change, my back door, the angels, testify... all my favorites! i'm gonna add some more. any suggestions for someone who needs to be reached? halfpint beware of stampeding turtles!!! http://cs.selu.edu/~kroberts sig? oh siiiig? where are you? ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 25 Jun 1997 17:59:23 -0700 From: Randy Subject: Re: *etheridge* Where were you when you first heard Melissa?

I bought the rest of her albums, unheard. I have NEVER bought all of an artist's work before. Am I glad I did! Then, like Rhondda, I did a net search, joined this list, attended my first 2 concerts, and as they say, the rest is herstory. Recently I discovered another Melister in my very own neck of the woods!

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* the *real fan * phenomenon another point i wanted to bring up in one of my last posts was more of a targetted discussion of a specific aspect of the "real fan " phenomenon. some people have said in their recent posts that "melissa would feel this way" or "melissa wouldn't want us to do this to each other." kate's continuing hilarious parodies notwithstanding ;-) , how do we really know how melissa would react in any given situation? further, why do some let their perception of her actions/feelings cloud their abilities to make decisions on their own? except for those who do know MLE personally, it is indeed a "perception" and not actual "knowledge" that we're talking about here. sure, we can extrapolate from her interviews and her actions about how she might react, but since the vast majority of us don't know her intimately, do we really *know* how she would feel or act about anything? and, frankly, why does it matter so much? just how far do you take this anyway? are you constantly questioning yourself before acting, i.e. "would melissa eat fruit loops or captain crunch for breakfast?" "i better cut the crusts off my bread because that's how melissa likes it." "oh, no, my goldlameleopardskinpants are still at the cleaners - what will i wear today?!" "melissa owns a BMW, so i'm going to sell all of my belongings, buy a BMW, and live in it because i can't afford to rent an apartment." silly? hell, yes. but i'm trying to make a point. i guess i'm one of those who don't "get it". i don't get why it should matter how melissa feels or thinks about anything. i don't get the idolatry that permeates this list (and many others i subscribe to) - is it a question of needing someone to believe in? it's not like melissa is going to be knocking on your door anytime soon to check up on your progress. i understand the need for role models and have a few of my own, but i also feel secure enough in my own *self* not to rely on melissa's actions (or even my role models) to govern my own decision making. i like (most of) melissa's music and lyrics. i think she's an incredible live performer, one of the best i've ever seen in 16+ years of concert-going. i'd also like to think that if given the opportunity some day that we could sit down like everyday people and chat, drink tequila shots, or play a scorching game or two of "rock'em, sock'em robots" . however, i don't let this very, very slim glimmer of a possibility occupy my every waking moment. just had to get that off my chest...:-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 27 Jun 1997 01:31:46 +0200 (MET DST) From: Kitty Van De Waart Subject: *etheridge* Worst duet Since you're all trying so hard to come up with a killer duet...

So maybe Melissa wouldn't want us to feel anything or think about how she would react on certain things in our daily lives. Maybe, Maybe Not. Perhaps we should not look towards her as a leader rather an inspiration. Granted we would not jump off a cliff if she asked us to. But being a human bear and one who wishes to believe there lies goodness in each of us. I believe her to be quite open and honest with her feelings and emotions. In following her lyrics we know she feels and needs just as we all do. We know that she gives graciously to her fans and is out there for them when she can be. We know she has taken a stand and has given up quite a bit of her freedom to be out there for us to enjoy her talent. She feels, she laughs, she cries, she bleeds all because guess what, she is human and I believe she cares. There is no need to pick apart what Melissa means to each of us. If not for her we would not be here in the first place. We would not have fajita fests nor Melister gatherings nor purple bowling shirts which Melissa herself wanted one! Imagine that! :) We would not know of the wit and humor and love and kindness and strong compassion that illuminates from this list. We would not know of broken hearts and mended wings and trials and tribulations in our daily struggles to survive. Nor we would ponder about dancing bears on clouds rolling by and reach out believing we truly can to touch the sky. I guess what I am trying to say is there is a connection in this group of people I know and call friends. It feels like home. It is a place where we share our thoughts about a woman who has reached out and lit a candle and ignited a spark for those in the dark to see. I feel the need to cherish this candle in the wind. And beneath a glowing street lamp one never knows who is watching.

They ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 hours, lots o' babes (of course including Amy and Emily), new and old songs.........it was great!!! Amy seemed depressed (obvious on the "oh, why oh why did Cooper break my heart" songs). Emily looked radiant, sweaty, sultry, sexy.......Packed house at an outdoor theater...small venue. We were ROW 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right in the middle...dead in the middle. My g/f got a pick and I fought for one that landed between me and the girl next to me, but being the polite person that I am , I let her have it (aren't I sweet?). Uuh, my g/f will never let me live that down. I told her not to be so greedy. She did get one after all. You know collector's though. Amy and Emily stressed the word "gay" in the line "hate me cause I'm different, hate me cause I'm ***GAY***" in the song "It's Alright." The audience freaked out of course. On "Shame on You," Amy gave that sly look to the audience and grinned when she said "the beautiful ladies walk right by and I never know what to say." The audience again freaked. It was a fantastic, superb evening and we head on in the morning to do it all over again. Same venue, same time, same great concert!! Die hards RULE!!! We'll be "camping out" in the afternoon to (hopefully) ensure we get decent seats. (I got us reserved seating for tonight, but wasn't so lucky for tomorrow). So, I'll see ya'll later.

What would you ask her to do? I'll start it off. I'd ask her to sing some songs, that I've written, on my karaoke machine. They'd be funny and I think it'd be a fun experience to have a tape of that.

I was working in a sealant factory in Evansville, Indiana in August of 1994. The radios were on in the factory. A song came over the airwaves that day. I was listening to it and thought to myself "who is that singing that song? She was one hell of a voice!" I asked my fellow co-workers who it was, but none knew who it was. During that day, the song kept being played over and over quite alot. Then finally, a friend told me who it was. I never heard of her because i was listening to another type of music at that time. Then a few days later, I went out and bought "Yes I Am". I have worn two tapes down and working on getting another one. The song was "Come To My Window". I am a HUGH fan ever since I discovered her music and a huge collector of her stuff. What about Melissa singing a duet with Vanilla Ice? Now, that's a scary thought!!!! Bette and Melissa would make an interesting duet. I agree on that duet. take care diane Yes I Am ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 27 Jun 1997 18:40:25 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* MLE on Sesame Street thanks to whomever posted the heads-up re: her appearance on SS wed. it was great! just shows how desparate i 've gotten. opportunities to see her have been so rare, i get excited about watching SS (truth be known, i love the muppets as well) she was sooo cute--but a little provocative for the kiddies. ;-) wonder when the So.

What would you ask her to do? I'd get out my tape recorder, and ask her to play some music with me. I'd want to do "The Letting Go," "Occasionally," "Watching You," "Royal Station 4/16," "Keep It Precious," "Ruins," "If I Wanted To," and "I Really Like You." Then, I'd (very nervously) play two of my songs for her, and hope she liked them enough to join in and jam with me. I'd ask her if she wanted to improvise some blues songs with me, especially "Further On Up The Road," and then a couple of totally-improved blues jams -- "the Melissa and Anjela Blues" . Finally, as a perfect way to close off the hour, I'd ask her to play some Springsteen with me (I think I love him about as much as she does :) ). "Bobby Jean," "Candy's Room," "Secret Garden," and "Murder, Incorporated." I would immediately make a copy of my tape, because I'd listen to the first one so much I'm sure I would wear it out. :) Maybe not so imaginative, but hopefully we would both have a lot of fun. :) Anjela ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 27 Jun 97 17:35:43 PDT From: Thomas Sharp Subject: *etheridge* Duet dreams How 'bout Melissa and Lucy Lawless? -Thomas ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 27 Jun 1997 22:39:16 PDT From: "Susan Christopher" Subject: *etheridge* real fans/duets >Rhondda L.

Question: I bought a 1997 Indigo Girls tour shirt right off a girl's back tonight and it was one that this venue was not selling. The girl said she got it in Fort Worth a few months back. It's black, short-sleeve, it has a deer and a naked lady on the front. It says "Indigo Girls" across the top and "1997" on the bottom. On the back, it says "Indigo Girls" and the words 1997 spelled out. Does anyone else have this shirt? If so, can you email me privately and let me know where the concert was you got it at? We are interested in finding out who all has that shirt. Thanks.

No, they do not write their songs. They didn't even write their "autobiography" that is out now. What a bunch of scary, scary females. My choice, however, for the scariest duet would be MLE and LaToya Jackson singing ***anything***! Having had the opportunity to sit through a few hours of Jackson's week on VH1 I have decided that LaToya is actually scarier than Michael, because, despite everything that can be said about Michael, he is, at least, *talented*. Oh, and to continue that "secret scary duet wish" thread, the one I'd really like to hear but is probably a little spooky would be MLE singing anything with George Michael.

I was also thinking "Testified" but that's a little too ordinary. Btw, we're all going to have a chance to get Shanktified later this summer.

I'd invite every MLE fan I know over and we'd listen to Melissa perform a little mini unplugged concert of my very favorite songs. Of course I'd make an audio and video of the event and pass them out to other fans (with MLE's permission of course). Then, for the second hour everyone else would have to leave (yea right). Then it would be just the two of us ; ). I'd like to just have a normal conversation with her like I'd talk to anybody. I'd show her my huge MLE collection (she might be getting scared now LOL) and ask her if she'd like to add a special something to it. I'd cry when she leaves, but I'd have one hell of a tale to tell my grandchildren.

Nightmare duet: Axl Rose and MLE doing "You Could Be Mine". (My husband= 's =2E02) Nightmare duet I would secretly love to hear: The above duet.

Just talk and maybe ask her to read a story that I am writing now. Maybe (I stress maybe) I would ask her to perform YIA or CTMW, just= for me and I would video tape it. = Ponder this: Wouldn't it be cool if JC updated the screenplay and direct= ed MLE in the title role of "Mary Poppins"? They could do this for Bailey Jean. I can just hear MLE belting out "Spoonful of Sugar" and "Chim Chim= Cheree" (sp?) It was just a thought. I think the two of them could put a= nice touch on the story. Any other ideas for movies (with Bailey in mind= )? What about a dream jam session? I would call it Five Woman Accoustical Jam!! MLE: 12 string, piano, vocals Joan Jett: guitar, vocals Suzi Quatro: bass, vocals Gina Schock (Go-Go's): drums, vocals Pat Benatar: vocals Anyone else??!!

It isn't really the Police song at all, just the tune of "Every Breath You Take" which has been turned into some sort of memorial of Notorious B.I.G., who was murdered. Sting owns the rights, he heard what they wanted to do with the tune, and he gave permission. His call. >so I say that a big nightmare would be to have all of melissa's songs >remade into raps. i sincerely hope melissa has better taste than to >sell her songs to rap stars! I don't think it's a matter of taste at all. There is some very good rap music made by very talented rap performers (I still can't quite call them "singers" though). It is all subjective.

I love that opening line. I definitely agree with you here. I can identify with that line. Other fav lyrics? Too many to list. Favorite concerts? The two that i have attended so far. Inidanapolis, IN. Two years in a row seeing her. They both were incredible!! When Melissa did SL, the crowd was into it. She got down on the stage floor and proceeded to make out with her guitar. Also, when she did "You shook me all night long", the crowd and I were blown away!! That was on June 7, 1995. Oct. 18, 1996 was a three hour show with just MLE and band. Whoah, that was pure esctasy!! What a night that was. Diane ... I was at both of these shows. By the end of the '95 show I was down front right at the stage for the last six or seven songs. Never did make it out to the lawn seats to check on the reported sightings of half naked concert goers running around up there. ;-( At the '96 show I was about 4 rows back on the main floor at MSA. Both shows were fantastic and are in my TOP 5 all-time fav concerts of the 70+ shows I've been to. - ------------------------------ On Mon, 23 Jun 1997 Anne Haines , another person stuck in the Cornfield Hell called Indiana said: - - ------------------- Didn't get to see her perform live until the Brave & Crazy tour, November 1990; fifth row seats, and -- well, y'all know what kind of effect that concert had on me! (Her last song was one she introduced as being a new song, and it was called "From Where I Stand" -- I've seen *very* few references to this song; is it booted anywhere?) Anne ... if this is the show from the Ritz Music Hall, I'm pretty sure that there is a copy of it floating around out there somewhere. If it was the show at The Vogue, I don't know about that one. Best time hearing MLE? That's easy. The second concert I went to was in the spring of 1994, in Indianapolis at the Murat, the night before Easter. This would've been my first MLE show but a friend that was supposed to get me free tix couldn't make the right connections in time but me and two friends went down to the Murat anyways to see if we could get tix. Only got offered one so we decided to pass, it was too pricey for my wallet at the time. I also missed her when she played Deer Creek later that year in August. Finally got tix for Deer Creek '95 theough VH1 Tix First after nearly two hours of trying. My first time hearing MLE was in Oct '88 when I was in the hospital. I had my radio on enough to hear the songs playing. First song was SF and it took me a week after first hearing it to finally catch her name. Needless to say, as soon as I got out of the hospital and could get to a music store I snapped up the CD. I guess this qualifies me as an Old Fart among MLE fans. When I first heard SF, which was at a lower volume and I was kinda half out of it, I thought to myself, "I didn't know Tina had a new album out." ObMLEC: Starting on the 4th of July (Fri), VH1 here in the US will be playing the 'History of Music Videos from A-Z' so there should be some MLE videos played in there somewhere. Get those VCRs ready. There are also some other artists mentioned on this list previously that have some TV air time this week. They include Jewel, Alanis M. and Sophie B.

Both sides of the cardboard sleeve are red and it has four songs from the Red album on it. 1. Similar Features 2. BMSW 3. Precious Pain 4. Don't You Need The songs are not live like on later promos, but are album cuts. The CD number is #PR-2258-2. Tiny little letters on the back say 1988. Does anybody know if this is Melissa's first ever promo? If it isn't, does anyone know what was her first promo. This disc was not mentioned in the discography in Joyce's book. Needless to say I paid a bunch of $$$ for it. Thanks, pk ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * [email protected] 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, 01 Jul 1997 01:18:25 -0700 From: John Miller Subject: *etheridge* Melissa rap music After being away from my email for nearly three weeks, I'm beginning to get current with this list (we won't talk about the other 20 lists)....

Sounds like you don't like rap music. :) >so I say that a big nightmare would be to have all of melissa's songs >remade into raps. i sincerely hope melissa has better taste than to >sell her songs to rap stars! It's already happened (sorta)... Rosie O'Donnell, during her 'Stand-Up Spotlight' days on VH-1, once gave us a short rap version of a Melissa tune... Melissa was in the audience with Julie, Rosie introduced Melissa to the audience, then proceeded to do a short rap version of 'Similar Features', much to the delight of the audience and Melissa... it's short (about 75 seconds), but it's one of my favorite Melissa-related video clips. And thanks to Tracey Thacker for her informative and insightful reply.
