I've spent the last several years trying to figure out whether I'm straight or bisexual. Last year I had an affair with a wonderful friend of mine named Sarah, which you'd think would have decided the issue, but instead it only confused me more. Instead of giving myself time to sort out who I was, I got involved with a wonderful man named Grant, and decided it wasn't important to know whether I'm straight or bi. I was with Grant for the six most beautiful months of my life, but when it ended I was back where I was at the beginning of the school year, trying to figure out who I am. Part of me has been denying that I'm bisexual. I felt exactly like Ellen did... "I'll show you who's gay!" But after the show last night I said, "The hell with it, this is who I am" and finally accepted myself. YES!!! I FINALLY HAVE A SEXUAL ORIENTATION!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!! :) OK, so this wasn't a complete celebration. When I'm not at school, I live in the second most conservative district in the nation. My parents are both homophobic. This is going to be my last summer living at home if I can possibly manage it, and I can't afford to come out to my parents... my father would kick me out of the house or beat me up... (unfortunately, I am not exaggerating... this is what he did the first and last time I told my parents I suspected I was not straight) Thankfully, I have some wonderful friends, one of the best of whom is the abovementioned ex-boyfriend Grant. He took it amazingly well, but then, I knew he would. He's one of the few people I can trust completely, and that trust isn't misplaced *at all*. No stupid hetero comments like "did I do something to turn you bi??" Didn't even ask me "are you sure??" He just talked to me until I fell asleep and helped me tremendously. If only all the people I'm around were like him. I also came out to my friend Maria, whose response was "Didn't I know that already?" :) So, I guess this won't be as much of a shock to everyone as I thought... This is a tough and unyielding world we live in. As I told Grant last night, it would be very easy for me to pretend I'm straight. And I would fit in better, and no one would hate me for it. I've been doing it all my life. I *do* like men. I'm obsessed with a male friend of mine who lives in NY. It would be easier on my parents and my family and some of my friends. But it's not the truth. I believe life is based on honesty and respect, and perhaps if I choose the former I will give up the latter from many people, but I will have respect for myself.

I walked up front in th eoffice to chat and this girl asked me if I watched "Ellen" last night and whe I said yes she said: So is there anything you would like to tell your friends here at work today? I just smiled and said nothing you don't already know! I think there are people who are so free today that they have that feeling in their hearts you get when you take that leap out of the playground swings! I love the T-shirt that reads A Bigot Isn't Born It Is Made. If we watch children at play we see they know no barriers and want only to give those wet, sloppy, mouth wide-opened kisses and hug you. Love seems so simple when you are young. It seems we adults have to make it difficult with rules and boundaries. I say let's all go out and roll down the hillside and dance and blow bubbles and make daisy crowns for us all to wear in our hair and in doing so we can teach others to live and love again. So next time you are swinging on the playground and the breeze is blowing in your face and you just keep getting higher and higher I say let go and take a leap and feel once again the freedom you lost in your childhood and then stand up and cheer because you have won! You have regained your innocense and landed on your feet and no one can ever take it back away from you again.

Doesn't it seem that there is a collective sigh of joy and relief? Not to steal a quote or anything, but maybe the truth is setting us free after all. Maybe I'm being a little sappy after last night and after reading my overloaded mail box...does anyone else have this dizzying optimism about...jeez, I can hardly write it!! Acceptance. I'm reminded of an incident a few months back. I was in the hospital having surgury on a blood vessel in my head and my partner was there every moment of the day and long into the night. When she finally had to go, my nurse who was old and very frail and bent over with arthritis, said "you've very fortunate to have someone that loves you so much." I had been very worried that Jill wouldn't be able to stay in the room - which added to the stress of coming out of a nasty surgury. But there wasn't any predjudice in that room that night. There was peace and love and acceptance...and the healing power of truth. You know, people say that Ellen coming out was no big deal, that it was overblown and there's plenty of gays on tv and yadah, yadah...but this was different. People learn from example. I think people are finding courage and learning about the comfort that comes from the truth. Well, for Melissa content....Wasn't she a doll!!!!! She should be a movie star. : ) By the way, it was wonderful meeting so many of you at the Broadway Market party in Seattle.

Melissa did definately look good last night. The skit at the end of Ellen was hilarious, and yes, I did notice she stamped the clipboard. I, like the rest of my very full household at the time, was VERY disappointed at the edit out of the opening scene with MLE. I've heard they may use it next week. Any truth to that?? As for THE show, I feel it was very well written, and absolutely hilarious. There wasn't a dry eye in my home during the airport scene. What I witnessed last night was truly historical. I knew I was watching a T.V. show, but Ellen was making a very REAL statement. The moment she said "I'm Gay", on network television, I felt deep in my soul that "I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME." Good or bad, life will never be the same for the gay community after last night. I happen to believe it will change for the better - I hope so. To all reading this, peace, love, truth, and health:) Vanessa ****************************************************************** * 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, 1 May 1997 17:58:17 -0500 (CDT) From: glenn damon m Subject: Re: *etheridge* Re: Swinging Open Hey POOH, Gosh POOH you have way with words.

As always, ME and JC looked adorable together. As for the Ellen episode, I thought it was hysterical, especially Melissa's scene. She's just so precious .....she's enough to make this straight woman contemplate switching teams. Wait ...... did I just write that???? Of course, I'm only kidding.......or am I :) Slippy (who while doing her spring cleaning better not forget to clean out her closet) (jk) ****************************************************************** * 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, 01 May 1997 17:16:22 -0700 From: "Rhondda L.

I am a little confused about why last night's Ellen episode was turned into such an event. I realize it was a big deal, but why was that episode blown up so much considering the fact that there are a number of gay characters on TV shows now. Off the top of my head I come up with Mad About You, Spin City, Melrose Place - even the Simpson's had an episode revolving around a gay character. I understand that Ellen is the first lead character to be gay, but the characters on the other shows are still pretty prominent, so that seems like semantics to me. A friend suggested that it was because the was the first episode that was billed as a "coming out" episode - whereas on, say, Mad About You, the character came out amidst other things. I have one other question. While I do believe that much good will come with all these gay characters on TV, but does anyone think that maybe the reason they are put on these shows is because it seems to be the "in" thing to do? I am not sure if I believe this, but it is something that I have been pondering. I suppose the follow-up question to that is, does it matter what the TV producers motivations are as long as good comes out it? Just some recent thoughts and questions that I wanted to share.

I've been lurking for ever because I have been so busy. I haven't even had a chance to read the digests in forever so I don't know if this has been mentioned or not. But I thought Melissa was supposed to do the song at the beginning of Ellen last night. I was at work and I taped it so I thought my timer was set late or something, but friends said they didn't show it. Does anyone know what was up with that? Thank God they did show the song on Oprah though because it was cute as hell. WAY TO GO ELLEN!!!!! Great show!!!! I laughed my head off. I sure wish I was in the audience at the Oprah show though. I would have had a thing or two to say to those f**king jerks in the front row. That one lady who couldn't even swallow her pride to answer the question and admit that the show was done tastfully, when she starts complaining about teaching our young kids, putting out the message of sex. What I want to know is, what the HELL does being gay have to do with SEX? If I say man, does that mean horny? If I say women, does that mean slut? Why then when Ellen does a GREAT show about coming out and being gay does that lady say gay=sex????? I just dont get it. Are some straight people that stupid? or should I say straight homophobic bigoted people!!!! Why can't everyone just live and let live, and stop judging people by the color of their skin or the people they choose to love? It's none of their business anyway!! On another subject. Sorry I missed meeting our German friend and the rest of you all last weekend. My GF and I were really looking forward to meeting everyone. But I only have access to email at work and I didn't get the address mailed to me where you were all meeting before I left work Thursday night. John, did you get my email with my phone number? Anyways we went to Golden Gate Park and I tried to look for everybody. But I have only seen John very briefly (we've never met) so I had no luck. I really hope to be in on the next get together. I am still anxious to meet some of the listers. You all sound like you have so much fun whenever you get together.

I haven't read that much of it yet, cause I've been a tad busy lately, but when everything goes back to normal (whatever that may be!), I'll definitely get stuck into it!! I've been reading most of the "coming out" discussions, and I've got a bit of a problem myself at the moment. I guess I'm "fully out" now, and am very happy and grateful to say that I haven't encountered any negative attitude towards my sexuality. Both my parents accept it, as do all my friends. I know I'm very lucky to be able to say this and try not to take it granted. A couple of months ago I started my part time job at the airport, and was pleased to find out that my colleagues are a great bunch. I'll cut a long story short, and say that one of my colleagues (a very beautiful woman) and I have been seeing each other regularly for the past month or so. She has never felt this way about a woman before, and feels "stuck" as she doesn't know what to do. No one knows that we've been seeing each other, and she doesn't believe that she could ever "come out" to anyone about it. She has been hurt severely by men in the past, and perhaps just needs someone who cares and understands. She's very confused at the moment, and considering it's my first serious relationship (sort of :D ) I don't exactly know what to do either. She's also 8 years older than me, not that that has been a problem so far. We have strong feelings for each other, and nothing's more perfect then when we're together. Has anyone been in a similar situation or would anyone like to give me their point of view or opinion, please do!! Hope I haven't babbled on too much. Take care all!! Cindy PS. Hey Katinka!! You can stop looking for me now!! :D ****************************************************************** * 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, 2 May 1997 09:12:16 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Re: ME List [email protected] :) kel ****************************************************************** * 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, 02 May 1997 14:54:06 +0100 From: Margaret McArdle Subject: *etheridge* sMEC,but Ellens' mentioned So Ellen is out,(can't wait to see the episode) Over here the Conservative Government is out,(of Power) The New Indigo Girls cd is out, The 1st day of May in Ireland & the sun is out, There's many a reason to be cheerful....which is a change as much as it is a blessing now if only a picture of little Bailey was out not to mention the "Live" video.... ****************************************************************** * 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, 02 May 1997 10:25:32 -0400 From: Dan Cohen Subject: *etheridge* Motorcycle outing I am the president of my motorcycle club. http://www.YesIC.com/dancohen/nortown I ride a Suzuki Intruder 1400. I've been worried about how the members would react when they learn I'm queer. And not just queer, I'm bisexual. Here is a story from this Saturday's ride. Not far from Lake Erie, at our lunch stop, I shared a table with Betty (Honda Shadow 750) and Annie (Kawasaki Vulcan 800). Now, I was wearing a Gay Rainbow lapel pin on my inner jacket. So when I took off my motorcycle jacket, Annie asked what the pin was for. When I said it's gay, both their jaws dropped. I was embarrassed, too! But each of us recovered our poise in our own way. Phew! this coming-out stuff is rough. But I'll continue to do. I can't hide it. Later, on Tuesday, at the club meeting, my job is chairman. I was worried how many members now knew, and how it would affect the meeting. No problem at all! ------oOo------ Pooh wrote, on Thu, 1 May 1997: > So next time you are swinging on the playground and the breeze is > blowing in your face and you just keep getting higher and higher I say > let go and take a leap and feel once again the freedom you lost in your > childhood and then stand up and cheer because you have won!

It takes time.

If you're human, you'll label stuff. It's part of how we work. We don't know how to think, without labeling things, events, and each other. This is great for a logical guy, like me. If I can find a label, I always know what to do next. Also, if you're human, you'll have relationships. It's part of how we live, and how we help each other live. So it's easy to pin a label on a relationship. The trouble begins when we forget that the label is not the complete picture. Then we under-value each other, and it gets easy to hurt and be hurt. So I always try to remember, "Every person is precious." > The only thing that does > matter is that the persons involved care for each other thats what > matters most. Yes! When we cut through the labels and names, when we really see the other person, then we start to love. - - - -- 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: Fri, 02 May 1997 11:55:35 -0500 (EST) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Melissa on oprah?

Hi all of you guys!!! I finally found time to stop lurking and surface for a minute.... To tell a little about myself... I`m a busy girl at 23 and i`m living in Norway.. BTW, is there others norwegians here? One of my true loves in my life is off course MLE.. I heard her first time in 92 at a dance place and i went all crazy.. The song they played was LTWID, and i loved it.. I ran up to the dj and almost pulled him on to the dance floor to find out who the singer was.. And since then she has been my absolute favorites... In about one week i bought all of her albums... I love each and everyone of them.. So many of her songs is like a short story of my life... Ok, the reason for my surfacing is Cindy`s story.. Hi Cindy.... You asked if anyone had a similar story... Well i have a situation that is some like yours... In all of my life i have wondered what i am.. But about 5 years ago i decided to live my life as i wanted to.. I found out i was a lesbian when i was 15-16 years old... But i tried to convince myself that i was straight.. And as you all may know that is no good... And now i finally have decided to just be me... I`m still in the closets for some of my friends and my family.. But my brother and some friends know... Well, that was not what i was going to say.. 3 months ago i met the love of my life... I met her trough the internet.. At a chat room.. We started talking and soon i was hocked.. But then i found out she was living with a man and they had two kids... To make a long story a little shorter... We are now deeply in love, and she`s leaving her husband.. She was to very confused.. Didn`t know what to do.. She have had attraction to women before... But she had ignored those feelings.. And now i`m happy to say she is sure..:-)) But it have been some though times.. And we can`t live together yet because of the kids.. But we know we`ll always be there for each other.. And now i`m moving to the other side of the country to be close to her.. So i`m actually going to live close to heaven...:-) And my tip to you is be patient... Eventually she`ll come around.. All it takes is time... And a great deal of talking..... Well, need to say one more thing.. Kiva, your storey touched me... I just knew ME was so beautiful and wonderful as you told... I unfortunately haven`t seen her live yet.. But i will.... And POOH..... You`re an artist with words.. You make my heart sing...:-) Keep up the good work... Sorry to talk so much, that`s one of my big problems... Take care Love AC ****************************************************************** * 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, 2 May 1997 11:15:27 -0500 (CDT) From: Melody BARAJAS Subject: *etheridge* Re: HRC commercial Hey-- I was really surprised to see the HRC commercial and the VW commercial also during the Ellen show.

Now there's a race to bring the troubled life of singer Janis Joplin, who died of a drug overdose in 1970, to the big screen. Variety reports that director Nancy Savoca's (Dogfight) $20-million, family-authorized Janis biopic, with Lili Taylor (I Shot Andy Warhol) starring, is out with an early lead. On Monday, several of Hollywood's hottest young stars came together to do a read-through of the script. Taylor, who will lip-sync to Janis tunes, was joined at the reading by Samantha Mathis, Jared Leto, Brendan Fraser, and Gary Busey's dead-ringer of a son Jake--in addition to plenty of Sony studio execs. The question of the day is whether Taylor, a proven indie sensation, can carry a high-profile studio picture. Her competition is fierce. The rival biopic at Paramount has Melissa Etheridge attached as Joplin and Marc Rocco (Murder in the First) directing. And while no one is sure if Etheridge can act, everybody knows that she can sing. ****************************************************************** * 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, 2 May 1997 10:50:49 -0700 From: Angela Johnson Subject: *etheridge* SUrvey Everyone go to http://www.mrshowbiz.com/ and vote for ME as the best Janis Joplin!!!!! ****************************************************************** * 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, 2 May 1997 14:01:53 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* HRC Ad I'm from Fort Wayne, IN and the HRC ad did not appear during Ellen's show.

The HRC ad played in Seattle *DUH* and our response was that it is SAD that the people who need job protection the MOST are sytematically ignored by HRC. I'm speaking of the Transgender community. I was involved with HRC up until ENDA came out and their excuse for not including T*'s in the language was that "it would kill the bill". When I moved to Seattle 2 years ago, they tried to re-activate me and I asked how their stand on that issue has changed only to find out it hasn't. And they can't even be honest about it. "Well, we WOULD include them, but know it is just out of our hands." The ad on Ellen only reinforced my view that the organization has no intention of fighting for the rights of ALL the queer community.

I also sent one to Kim at Idaho Power. The courageous Chrysler Corp has set up an 800 number to poll the public on whether you agree or disagree with their decision to pull advertising from the April 30 episode of "Ellen," in which the lead character, Ellen Morgan, reveals that she is a lesbian. This is QUICK, EASY, FREE, and you don't even have to talk to a human or identify yourself in any way. Please take less than a minute to do this. You can bet the far-right factions are! Here's the number to call between 8am and 5pm EST: 1 (800) 992-1997 Press 1 for their Media/PR line; 1 for their current media events line; 2 for their "Ellen" line, and then 2 to disagree with their decision to pull sponsorship. Then, forward this message!

Or something, anyway it doesn't sound right to >me. The bootleg from Rotterdam 1996 sounds so much better (same concert). I have a theory that is probably not worth anything, but I think the taper was picking up John Shank's monitor as well a the concert speakers. It give the sound kind of an echoy out of tune sound, but Melissa's voice and guitar sound fine. It's hard to imagine that as many times as they change guitars that every one of John's is out of tune. This boot has my favorite version of Shriner's Park. It don't think it's the same concert as Rotterdam. Isn't that Cirkus in Holland? Witch Queen was a concert in Germany. The best sounding disc of the '96 tour is Valentine's Day which was the Berlin show. It's a double disc at a small venue with a very appreciative audience.

Life just gets Better!! Well....Hello All!! I'm new to the list and I have been enjoying getting to know you all for a couple of weeks now. Now it's time for you to meet me! :-) My name is Deb, I am a Chef and die-hard Melissa fan for many years now. Joyce's book lead me to the list...THANK YOU JOYCE!! I had to respond to all the posts about Ellen's show.....I must agree that it was an extremely tastefully done show. Somehow I'm sure that the straight folks out there didn't quite get ALL the jokes!! LOL Melissa sure looked well in her bit at the end!! She wears parenthood well!! We can only hope that a prominant person like Ellen coming out in this way will help the world to understand the difficulties we've all gone thru when it comes time to tell someone you care about that you're a homosexual. Like Melissa, I've known since I was a teen that I was a lesbian. Surely this should help people realize that , for most gays at least, there was never a choice to make....we are gay from birth. I must also congradulate those of you who have been strong enough to come out to us here. It's a tough thing to accept about yourself at first....but if you stay strong & speak true it gets easier. Welcome to the FAMILY!! We are tight knit & supportive...and always ready to listen. Well...I suppose I've said enough for my first post. Thanks for "listening".....I look foward to getting to know you all better.

They are all very encouraging. I too was feeling uplifted by the heady thought of a new age of enlightenment. Then I ran smack dab into reality. I was asked to sign a petition to get Initiative 677 on the ballot here in Washington state. Passage of initiative 677 would make it illegal to discriminate against individuals in the workplace on the basis of sexual orientation. I saw the HRC ad. Due to the miracle of satellite, I saw it on a Denver station (which apparently cut out the end segment, I only got to see up to where Ellen said 'Yes I am' and then it cut out). I always thought Washington was a little more progressive than that, wrong again. I function as a union steward at my place of employ and recently was asked to assist in the investigations of some serious allegations of impropriety in job injury investigations. We have had a company person, rumored to be a lesbian, who has been conducting these investigations in a manner that is both illegal and unethical. A fellow steward, whom I thought of as 'enlightened' and intelligent, attempted to make a case that her sexual orientation was a factor that needed to be explored as a point in our attack on her actions. You could have knocked me over with a feather, I was literally stunned. Her orientation was not an issue, only her poor judgement and use of intimidation in the performance of her job. Needless to say I'm still in the deepest darkest corner of a closet, damn dust bunnies. For those of you who are finding the courage to step out into the light, please be sure to leave the door open. The light is ever so inviting. ****************************************************************** * 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, 2 May 1997 21:50:08 -0700 From: "Jen Miller" Subject: *etheridge* May 2nd, 1997 Just a few days after the much anticipated "ellen" show, i'm still getting goosebumps thinking of the episode. i'm just glad i was able to watch it...and be mesmerized by it. i hope abc realizes the gem they hold in their hands...ellen is a beaut...:) let's hope that television continues to keep positive happenings alive. observing the best hour of her life, 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: Sat, 3 May 1997 04:56:47 -0500 (CDT) From: glenn damon m Subject: *etheridge* Hi Hi Karen, I also played lead rrytum guitar. My idols Jimi Hendrix(he's a guitar god), Eric clapton, and B.B. King. I guess you can say I have rock & blues influences. I've been playing since I was 7 years old, and played in sessions at the age of 15 I was considered a prodigy. Now a days I play the guitar mostly for enjoyment now, and I should play more then I do it's just hard to find the time anymore. My other interests are golf, gourmet cooking, computer programming(wich is also my job). Well here in, Wichita Kansas it's not as buitiful as Queensland, but it has its good points I guess. Our biggest tourist attraction is our yearly Riverfset which is held every year for 11 days to celebrate Spring. Tell you about myself well i'm a Senior at Wichita State majoring in Computer Science i'm 31 years old(I know a little old for school), but I took 10 years off to work. I was in the Army Nat'l guard for 10 years( joined out of high school). I love Melissa a lot to, Joan Jett as well WOW we like the sane people cool.

It's a "live" versioon. NMEC: A. Marshall I've forwarded my mail and cannot access it from here, so i hope that i'm not repeating anything. I got the following from the Toronto Star Starweek Magazine (any typos are all mine -- reprinted, of course, without permission): The Marshall arts BY MITCH POTTER The grownups, they love her. And even though Amanda Marshall sings like her own generation never happened, there's some young faces in the crowd as well. [viv: that grammatical error's not mine!] This is the story so far for the fledgling Toronto rocker, who at 24 has spent the last 18 months touring on the merits of her now four-times platinum debut album. She is no grunger, this one, with her big, blues-bodied voice (like a slighly more controlled Janis Joplin) and spastic body motions (like a slightly less controlled Joe Cocker). No wonder parents approve. Marshall is emerging as a trans-generational performer, with each career step paced by yet another nod from the baby boom. Just before Christmas last year, for example, Elton John told Rosie O'Donnell's international TV audience how taken he was with Marshall's lone CD. A week later, O'Donnell's producers had tracked down the singer, who promptly took up the invitation to sing for her televised supper. A day after the O'Donnell performance aired, another 10,000 fans had purchased her record. Marshall tells the cameras of CTV, BBS [viv: Canadian television networks. am not actually sure what the difference is between the two, if anyone wants to enlighten me 8^)] and producer Sandra Faire all about it tomorrow (Sunday) at 8 p.m. in the first airing of a concert/interview documentary shot in March at Toronto's Opera House venue. Among her secret weapons, Marshall cites her mother's record collection -- a jazz trove replete with the best of Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Betty Carter, et al. Meanwhile, the endless tour continues. Marshall just spent April opening for the first leg of a John Mellencamp show throughout the U.S. and acquitted herself so well she's been invited back for the second leg this summer. For now, she's crossing Canada one more time, with a tour starting this weekend in Saskatchewan.

Caffrey" Subject: *etheridge* Ellen episode Hi! Just a few thoughts about the Ellen "coming out" episode. I really enjoyed it. I got to see segments of the show over satellite before it came on, so I knew it was going to be hilarious. I have had a few interesting conversations with people since the show. I live in an area where sexuality is not really talked about and anything except for heterosexuality is not considered "appropriate". In fact, not very long ago, I believed that myself. I realize now that was just ignorance on my part. I had not been exposed to much in my life and thought I should not question what I was told to believe. I can't believe now how naive I actually was. I think for myself now (it's about time!), and I consider myself to be a very open-minded person. I recently was reminded how closed-minded and naive people can actually be. Which brings me to the Ellen episode. After the show, a close friend of mine actually said to me that she liked the show, but she was really suprised that Laura Dern was a lesbian. I told her that she wasn't, and she actually said "then why did she play one on tv?". This woman is not stupid. I was amazed at how naive that was. I just talked to my mom on the phone. I love my family more than anything, but we basically live by the "Don't ask, Don't tell" rule. Not just about sex, but about anything. Recently, we have become a bit more open & Ellen's coming out has helped us talk about alternative lifestyles. If you read the first part of my post, it will not surprise you to know that they do not accept anything "alternative". It amazed me to find out that they all actually watched the Ellen show. My mother liked the show and thought it was funny & I thought "great, maybe she's becoming more open". Then she told me that if they start bringing other women on the show that she'll stop watching it. She said she wasn't interested in seeing lesbians date & have sex. I asked her when the Ellen show had ever been about having sex! From the shows I remember, it's been mostly about her not having sex at all. All of this has just reminded me about how naive I was and all of the crap I was led to believe about life. I am still very uneducated about a lot of things in life, but I am so glad I am not closed to learning about things anymore. I learn something new about life & myself every day. At least Ellen has got America talking. It may not all be good, but at least the discussion is out there. If you would have told me that my mom & I would be talking about alternative lifestyles, I never would have believed it. It hasn't changed her mind about anything, but at least I got the chance to talk to her a little about it & what I now believe. This post has become way too long & I apologize, but there is just so much that I would like to talk about & I really don't have anyone to talk about it with.

Sounds like you have come a long way. I, too was homophobic as a young child, raised to be racist and against anything that wasn't just like me. Well, starting 10 years ago, I began to break *many* of the barriers my parents and their parents had put up. After many years of taking things slow (and yet just doing them in an "in your face" kind of way) my parents are now more loving of me and the way I live my life than ever before. They love my g/f, I think more than they love me and are always inviting her everywhere, and buying her things. They always ask "what did you do?" if I let on that we are in an argument. It's rather hilarious. Anyway, back to your post....thanks for sharing with the list your most personal observances and experiences. What a wonderful place you have come to with yourself.

Later that night, I watched the news on the local ABC affiliate, which spent the requisite time on "viewer reactions" to the program. "Viewer reactions" fell into 3 predictable and easily identifiable categories: (1) The morally outraged ("Ellen DeGenerate...", "I took down a list of the sponsors and I'll be sending them letters..."); (2) The newly empowered ("It was emotionally uplifting, wonderful...", "You go, girl!"); (3) The world-weary ("I don't see what the big deal is...", "Thank god it's over with..."). I have a natural tendency to fall into the third category, especially when the myriad powers of public relations and advertising are used as cannily and relentlessly as they were prior to the airing of this show. On the other hand, I hadn't seen "Ellen" since it was called "These Friends of Mine" and was still receiving good reviews, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hour-long special. It was well-written, well-performed, genuinely funny, occasionally even brilliant (especially the carefully choreographed airport scene). Most of the dreaded celebrity cameos were disposed of in a single dream sequence, and the ones that remained (k.d. lang, Oprah Winfrey, Laura Dern) were illuminating in their roles instead of distracting. I was impressed most of all by the handling of a story about a 30-some-year-old woman experiencing her first love (more so than the handling of a story of a homosexual realizing her own sexual identity, which seemed rather glib), which was as deft as a sitcom ever manages. It was also refreshing to watch a program that addressed a number of misconceptions regarding homosexuals in a completely entertaining fashion that avoided didacticism. That said, it is impossible to comment on the episode that aired Wednesday without also commenting on the media blitz that surrounded it, including the "courageous" or "disgusting" coming-out (depending on your personal viewpoint) of Ellen DeGeneres herself. For my part, I am far less impressed by Ellen DeGeneres' public disclosure than I am by that of her partner, Anne Heche. For comparison, Ms. DeGeneres is a fair comedienne on a fair-to-middling show with low-to-middling ratings, clearly on the downhill side of her career curve, and therefore with little to lose from any stigma that might result from being identified as a homosexual. In fact, Wednesday night's hype may have bought "Ellen" an additional season it otherwise might not have earned. Ms. Heche, on the other hand, is an up-and-coming movie actress whose star has not yet fully risen, having recently assembled a nice string of very plum roles ("plum" here used in the sense we must unfortunately use for almost all movie actresses these days, meaning that she has co-starred opposite numerous much bigger and more highly-paid male actors). As such, she has everything to lose that Ms. DeGeneres does not. Perhaps Ms. Heche belonged on the cover of Time instead. An even better suggestion was given last week by syndicated sex advice columnist Dan Savage, who (and I paraphrase here outrageously) states that he considers real courage to reside in the examples set by countless young high school students coming out to their friends and family every day and telling them, in effect, to deal with it and chill. There are young gays coming out in "Mormon freak show" (Mr. Savage's description) Idaho, even attempting to form a gay club in a Utah high school. These people, not the celebrities, are the real heroes. Perhaps Ellen's coming out will provide such young people with a sort of vicarious support they would have otherwise lacked, in much the same, sad, celebrity-worshiping way that it took Rock Hudson's death and posthumous outing, and Magic Johnson's diagnosis, to alert some portions of the American population to AIDS and provoke a more sympathetic response to gay victims of that disease. Her coming out will doubtless have a far larger impact than Anne Heche's, if only because TV routinely reaches more people than films (and because Ms. Heche doesn't play lesbians, either). The barrage of uplifting publicity should serve in at least some capacity to balance the hate mail and death threats that will stream in from the more ignorant segments of the TV audience. Still, the lionization of this woman seems out of proportion to her accomplishment, IMHO, especially given the publicity considerations that were almost certainly the primary reason for it. Then again, I suppose I'm just a hopeless cynic when it comes to media events. Maybe these days our lives really are played out on TV screens instead of in our homes and communities. ****************************************************************** * 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, 4 May 1997 17:33:17 -0500 (CDT) From: glenn damon m Subject: Re: *etheridge* Ellen, Ellen everywhere Hi, I myself would fall in the third catagory, cause it took courage coming out the way she did.

And did a marvelous job at that. She also was in "Walking and Talking" where, though it was not a lesbian plot, showed how wonderful a women's bond can be. Just a thought.

Long message alert !!! Only smec !!!! WARNING !!!!!! howdy all !!! Well, just returned from the PNW get together a few days ago, & i*m still all abuzz from the good time i had there. What a nice bunch of melister people that city has. We were put up (& put up with) by Sooz(911, the gracious), & her very nice roomie who hid out in his room a lot, smart boy. We had a visitation from the infamous SueD(the Devinely goofy). We were expertly chauffered around the beautiful city, thru rain & traffic, by none other than Sheri(the one with the baby*s bottom skin ! Also the one who can only see the Seattle Space Needle by turning her head sideways ! ;-}), & sent into realms of inescapeable laughter by the incomparable Lynn(the tactile evolving one). We got fed a totally home made Italian dinner made by Lynn & her folks. i think i*m still full from it. We hit collectable & memorabilia shops & record stores, & chased the Indigo Girls around town, just because Lynn was so *focused*. We went under the needle, some of us three times, me only twice ! Once the Seattle Space Needle, once the tattoo man*s needle. Yes. i got a tattoo ! (don*t cry mama !!! i*m sorry to uspet you like this all the time !) It*s something i*ve always wanted to do, but have never gotten around to, or gotten up the nerve for. i*d played with temporary tattoos, enjoyed them & the reaction they got, so i was ready to try the real thing. But what to pick as a design ?!! That held me up for a while. Spent a whole afternoon there after picking SueD up from the airport, they both got done, i still wasn*t sure, so thot i*d gotten off the hook. Hey, that reminds me, the ride to the airport to get SueD was a trip in itself ! Can that Sooz ever drive ! i live in a little place, the most we*ve got is a 4-way stopsign, so just being in Seattle, in all that crazy traffic, was an adventure in itself. Well, we were late for the airport, as SueD was arriving early, & we*d (i*d) spent too much time over b*fast. But Sooz sure made up for lost time. She drives a Jeep, & drives it very well i must add, so you know what kind of bumpy ride you get. Well, you put speed & sharp corner turning on top of that, & you*ve got a ride they should put in Shriner*s Park, i swear ! i can tell you that i took the old sailor*s trick of keeping my eyes on the horizon, just so i didn*t boap my biscuits !!! Especially when we hit the parkade at the airport ! Just TRY doing those sharp loops up to the top floor, hanging on for dear life, & just where IS that horizon, anyway. Wow. So, anyway, where was i ??? Oh yeah. Tattoos. Now back to our original story. But wouldn*t you know it, SueD had to go back for seconds on another day. She hadn*t had enuf the first time around. That gave me time to think about what i wanted, & how to do it, & to hash it over with the two sues, so on our second trip there, i was ready. Watched one of them wince getting the work done, then watched them wince again as their clothing would rub on the fresh artwork. Gotta tell ya, i was sure afraid. i didn*t know what to expect, & to tell you the truth, i thot i*d cry. But it wasn*t so bad. Like they say, it*s kinda annoying, more than anything. It*s like getting a needle, only it doesn*t go as deep, & there is more than just one jab. The needle goes like a sewing machine needle, that fast, & that many jabs. He dips it into the ink, jabs a quarter inch of your design, then dabs it dry with paper towel that had teddy bears on it of all things. i kept wanting to pull my arm away. Some areas were DEFinately more sensitive than others, right SueD & Sooz ? Think i got off easy getting one on my upper arm. It wasn*t too bad. Don*t think i even winced, never mind cried, but i was sure glad to be done. My palms were sweating like crazy, & i*d made sure i had a good chunk of gum to chomp on the whole time. So what did i get, you ask. Well, i*ve got a thing for skeletons & skulls, (not neccessarily REAL ones Sheri, calm down now, tho i HAVE had a few animal skulls). i know, where does THAT come from ? i saw Keith Richards*s skull ring in 1989 or so, he has been my hero for a long time, & HAD to have one. i thot his was just way too cool. Managed to find a nice little one, not a big honker like his, then i was given one as a gift, then another as a gift, for my thumb. Well, it*s amazing how many skeleton-related items there are out there. Knowing of my predilection for the things, my friends have found an amazing number of them for me. i have scarves, dillyboppers that flash, c*mas tree decorations from Mexico, a grinning statue of one holding a bouquet of flowers, a terra cotta real life sized grinning one that could be used as a candle holder, beads, necklaces, toothpicks, necklaces made of nothing but bone beads in the shape of skulls, pencil sharpeners, c*mas lights, shirts, earrings, key rings, glow-in-the-dark ones that you have to snap together, temporary tattoos, b*day cards from children, postcards, you get it, i think. Well, i also have a rubber stamp of a dancing skeleton that i just love. It*s happy, & to me is a symbol of what life is all about. Well, after discussing it with the two pros, the sues, i decided this WAS what i wanted. So i had the guy draw it up, then blow it up to fit my upper arm. At first, when i saw the drawing, i thot the guy hadn*t quite *gotten* it. Had he made it too ominous-looking ?, it*s supposed to be a joyful & gay (heehee) thing. Make sure it*s right, barb, you*re stuck with this for life now. Well, he outlined it in black, then highlighted it with red & yellow, & i*m just thrilled with it. So, that*s my tattoo story, just for you, *rhondda*. & you*re right. You CAN attribute my *wild side* to being around the two sues. i NEVER would have done that on my own, without them as my sidekicks. i felt very reassured having them there with me. i couldna done it without them !!! i*ve been showing it off like crazy since i got home. The reactions vary from - were you drunk at the time ? (something as equally unlikely as me getting a tattoo !), to - it*s fake. i think it*s just great. Now don*t tell my mum, eh ? i was so excited about it, i almost told her, but thot, nah, why worry her. She may as well not know about it til i HAVE to tell her ! Yes, we got fotos. i swore i*d get incriminating onces of us wincing & crying, & put them up on a web page that i have yet to design. We all DID take fotos, & i*m getting mine on disc, so that i can show them off if they turn out well. If anyone cares to see them, that is. *rhondda*, is your mouth still agape ???? i tell not one word of lie. It was a long trip down there. Nine hours long. i drove my van, & took my big dog Papi with me in the co-pilot*s seat. The trip involved four drives, each ranging from ten minutes to three hours; three waits in ferry lineups, from ten minutes each to one hour; & three ferry rides, two of ten minutes, one of two hours. i left after work in the afternoon, & didn*t arrive till 11:30 at night, but got a warm welcome anyway. Tired as i was, we just HAD to stay up for hours gabbing & planning the week. & gabbing was 3/4 of what made the trip fun. Last time i saw these people, we were in a flurry of concert travel & neck injury, so we only saw enuf of each other to know that we*d want to get together again sometime. But this time, we had time to talk, & laugh, to watch Bound, & Twister & not enuf Melissa videos, to compare fotos & make blowups of the ones we liked, to eat out lots & drink coffee together. & to laugh. i tell ya. What a funny bunch. Laughed enuf for a year, just in that week. Lynn can tell a story like you wouldn*t believe. i can still see her at the bottom of the pool, looking up at her bathing suit. & the poor waittress who had to serve us in Denny*s, none of us were drunk, but i*m sure she thot we were. We just couldn*t stop laughing. Cherry pop makes Lynn*s funny side come out. Now, i*m trying to get them all to come here sometime. i miss them so much already. i live on a small island, in the boonies, there*d be no action, like in Seattle, but i think we*d have a gas just the same. i know if i lived in Seattle, i*d have a good new set of friends to hang with. i*d love to have them here, to show them off to people, & to show them my lovely island ! Anyway, i had such a nice time, i just HAD to tell you all about it. We had a great Ellen party, organized by Sheri, in a restaurant. i LOVED the show, & can*t wait to see it again. The restaurant was kinda noisy, & i found myself relying on the closed captioning for most of it. i loved watching Melissa*s enthusiastic stamping of Ellen*s papers. Will definatley rewind that a few times. i just loved hanging out with Sooz & SueD & Sheri & Lynn. Total strangers now feel like total friends. At one point on our way to the Ellen show, i was comfortably ensconced between the two Sues in the back seat, Sheri was competently driving, Lynn was making us laugh, & i felt this very strong urge to cry, for about an hour as we bombed around, & i got thrown against first one sue, then the other. i was so happy there. Why was i cwying ? (eh ?, Lynn ?) i think i was just so happy & comfortable with these people, i was having so much fun, i was being totally myself, & the next day i was leaving all this behind. i*m tellin* ya. Visiting with these people has changed my life, & i thank them all, including the ones i was too shy to talk to at the Ellen thing. That was just such a fun week, i*m walking around like my feet are not on the ground, & i WILL NEVER BE THE SAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reprinted without permission from Mr. Showbiz >>Thursday, May 1, 1997 Ellen Finally Come Out After months of hype, it finally happened. On Wednesday night, ABC-TV sitcom character Ellen Morgan acknowledged she was a lesbian, becoming the first gay lead character on a prime-time show. And across the country, thousands of gays and lesbians cheered her on, leading to what has been described as the biggest coming-out party in history. GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) held fund-raisers in several cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., and organized 1,500 "Come out with Ellen" parties in homes all over the U.S. In Birmingham, Alabama, where the local ABC affiliate refused to carry the Ellen episode, an organization called Birmingham Pride Alabama showed the program at a local auditorium. In an editorial on Thursday, the New York Times commended the episode for its "wit and poignancy," saying it "should help defuse the antagonism toward homosexuals still prevalent in society." But not everyone was happy about Ellen's newfound identity. A group calling itself Americans for Truth About Homosexuality gathered in front of ABC's Washington bureau Wednesday night, protesting the network's decision to air the outing. They carried signs with messages such as "Homosexual Behavior Is Wrong" and "Ellen Is Confused Not Gay." After a brief press conference, they called it a night and went home. The episode capped months of "will she or won't she?" speculation about the show's star, Ellen DeGeneres, who announced that she was a lesbian last month. And just as interest in the coming-out segment began to wane, Volcano star Anne Heche acknowledged last week that she is DeGeneres's lover, creating a whole new flurry of interest. It seemed to have worked. Preliminary ratings show that more than twice as many people as usual watched. That's good news for the sitcom, which has yet to be renewed by ABC for another season.<< I wanted to say after seeing the show Wednesday night, I came to work alot prouder and alot more open. I was fired from my last job of 3 years working for Contra Costa County after they found out I was gay, so I have been very cautious as to whom I come out to now that I have another great job. I have never hidden the fact, but I never told anyone at work either. After Ellen aired and there were people all over the office talking about it, I made my feelings clear and precise and if anyone asks I WILL TELL! Thanks Ellen and Melissa for letting us all feel a little braver after witnessing how brave you both are.

OTOH, The Advocate, like most monthly/bi-weekly magazines, could have hopelessly out-of-date information, especially when compared to what we can get from the daily news or the internet. if i recall from our previous discussions on the list, wasn't the movie postponed until june or july? or at least the filming of the performance portions? FWIW, this seems to be corroborated in this week's E! On-line's "Dotted Line" column (http://www.eonline.com/News/Dotted/index.html): >Dotted Line >by Tom Tapp > >Week of May 5 > >Even though there's a similar project in the works, Paramount >and Lakeshore are going ahead with their own version of a >Janis Joplin pic.

Just wondering who else is in Melissa withdrawal? I have to feel I am not The Only One! I have to also admire someone who will throw up a huge red stop light on life to be with the one she loves! It must be wonderful to be loved that much. To know that someone will put their entire life on hold to stay with you and love you. All I have to say is Julie is one lucky lady in more ways than one. Unselfish love! How beautiful! How truly unigue and wonderful. As if angels touched the earth and set two hearts on fire so never would they have to walk alone again. Unconditional love. Love with no boundaries. Love that reaches beyond what eyes can see and touches the heart. Love that completes a single soul and makes it whole. Love that reaches in and takes away the chill and replaces it with all the warmth that one has within. Love that travels through time and the universe to the stars above and can't help showering down to the earth below and blessing the people it touches. Love we all search for. Some find it. Some let it slip away. Some, unfortunately never see it until it walks out the door and into the arms of someone else. Take a look and see if it is next to you this day. If it is, tell the person how you feel and give "Thanks" You are one of the lucky ones as well. If it slipped away in the cold dark night, have hope. For one day when you least expect it you may get a second chance so keep your heart open. Be not bitter at the world. Love is all around. It might show up when you least expect it. Don't put chains on your heart and don't lock the door. For it is a cold world without it. And as for Melissa withdrawal, well there is Joyces book and it was sent with lots of warmth and love. And always, yes always, there is the music. And where there is such great music there is bound to be love. Here's hoping the music through an open window will bring love calling to you each and everyone of you today. Much, Much, Warmth, "POOH" [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: Tue, 06 May 1997 10:54:52 -0400 From: CJ Subject: *etheridge* Ellen and Anne Heche On May 5th, [email protected] wrote: > "Ms. Heche, on the otherhand doesn't play lesbians, either..."

I got a big responce and several people asked how they get on ths list. Sorry I just found it a little funny and wanted to share:) Oh yeah, I was also wondering...I'm a lonely MLE fan up here in my small town and can never get anything on Melissa. Liked tape stuff or shows about her. DOes anyone have anything they'd be williing to tape for me. I'd be forever grateful and you could have my first born child, (except that I'm not having any kids..but don't tell anyone;) Love always, Stephanie St. Amand www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/3028 www.angelfire.com/ca/bridgadoa/index.html May the wind always be at your back and the ground under foot. ****************************************************************** * 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 #63 ****************************** From [email protected] Thu May 8 16:15:39 1997 Received: from oliver.cs.mcgill.ca ([email protected] [132.206.3.1]) by lisa.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id QAA04541 for ; Thu, 8 May 1997 16:15:38 -0400 (EDT) Received: from esosoft.com (esosoft.com [192.41.13.64]) by oliver.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA08561 for ; Thu, 8 May 1997 16:15:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA05257; Thu, 8 May 1997 04:02:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: by esosoft.com (bulk_mailer v1.5); Thu, 8 May 1997 04:02:00 -0600 Received: (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA05234; Thu, 8 May 1997 04:01:59 -0600 (MDT) Date: Thu, 8 May 1997 04:01:59 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <[email protected]> From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #64 Reply-To: [email protected] Sender: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com Status: RO etheridge-digest Thursday, May 8 1997 Volume 01 : Number 064 *etheridge* BAB, MLE Photos & Misc Ravings of a Demented Individual *etheridge* Re: Melissa Withdrawal *etheridge* Thank you for phone call Re: *etheridge* MLE on Ellen Re: *etheridge* Ellen Re: *etheridge* Ellen *etheridge* A little question.

Pooh's post, as always, was so eloquent! :-) I know what you guys are talking about, it would be great to hear/see some new stuff! But I was struck with the feeling that Melissa surely deserves this time off. She has been relentlessly on the road and in the studio, not to mention all the PR requirements put on her. Being a musician myself, I know it can be really hard on a person personally, even if one loves that life. And here is the good part: Having some quiet time off will give her the energy and inspiration to write incredible new songs!! So, I bet if we are patient, it will be _well_ worth the wait! :-) Take care, Suzanne ****************************************************************** * 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, 7 May 1997 10:25:44 -0500 (CDT) From: [email protected] (Joe Vitale) Subject: *etheridge* Thank you for phone call I just wanted to thank the kind woman who called me yesterday to tell me where Carolyn Wonderland was performing next.

To be fair to Ellen, she consented to exactly 3 interviews: ABC (which broke it into 2 parts, 20/20 and PrimeTime Live), TIME, and "Oprah." ABC did some additional hyping, but as I watched it unfold, I thought that the driving factor behind the media deluge was the discomfort of the general public with the whole thing (as I discussed previously). The media which fed on that discomfort and the ensuing controversy. >For my part, I am far less >impressed by Ellen DeGeneres' public disclosure than I am by that of her >partner, Anne Heche.

That is, people know she's been with a man before and could be again, so there's less of a leap. Personally, I think she's just a foolish young woman in love, unconcerned with the consequences. She was foolish enough to hire managers that helped her get great parts just because they were against her coming out (I think any decent manager would have recommended against it). >considers real courage to reside in the examples set by countless young >high school students coming out to their friends and family every day and >telling them, in effect, to deal with it and chill. I've been saying that here and on other lists for a long time.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you explain? (about the managers helping her get great parts just because they were against her coming out.)

It's 7;30 am and I'm only on my second cup of coffee, so bear with me! The thought that an ENTIRE TOWN +++ would get so bent outta shape over a childs game is absolutely outrageous!! Although this may not have really happened, the prejudices of the Mormons in Utah has made the news before.....anyone remember the high school student who wanted to start a club for gays & lesbians??? The school board voted to eliminate ALL extra-curricular clubs rather than allow this ONE for gay & lesbian youth. I remember watching that young lady on the numerous talk-shows she was on and applauding her courage. As you see, those of the Mormon faith have no love for homosexuals. I did not imagine , though, that their paranoia would extend all the way to kindergarden!! How ridiculous to think that playing Farmer in the Dell would "promote" same-sex marriage!! I realize that it takes all kinds to make our world tick, but , people like those who would say such a thing ( it HAD to come from somewhere) are truly frightening. These are the people who teach their children intolerance, prejudice and hate. Things that our global community does not need to pass on to the next generations!! OK....enough of my early morning ramblings........I have a habit of saying what I think . Teach Peace. Stay Strong.

That was a *big deal* to me. That's one thing I love about the whole Ellen coming out thing; it showed coming out as it really is -- a PROCESS that can be very hard, but is usually worth it in the long run. I think a lot of straight people tend to take coming out for granted -- I've heard coments like "Well, if all gay people want to come out of the closet, why don't they just do it?" It's not always that simple and easy. I came out to my mother the night of the Ellen episode, and it took an aweful lot of determination for me to muster up enough courage to say "I'm gay" and it was pretty weird there for a little while, but I'm glad I did it. I am in the process of coming out -- some people know, some people don't, some suspect, some have no idea. I'm not going to come out to everyone all at once, but each time I advance further in the process I feel better about myself. Ok, enough rambling for right now. :) Aaron! ********************************************************************** Aaron Morrison | [email protected] | http://members.aol.com/ammorrison/ ********************************************************************** "Those are my principles.

As the sun comes up on yet another spring morning on bear mountain, I am reminded of mom and all the moms out there who do love us so. I remember sitting for hours in a field picking the perfect bunch of babytears and violets to give mom on mothers day. So proud was I to give her this gift. So lovingly did she receive them. Melissa and Julie share a new life and one day those violets and dandelion bouquets will grace their outstretched hands as they reach for tiny hands to bestow such humble gifts. And I am gonna jump out here and say that this will be one of many little gifts that will be remembered and treasured till the end of the journey of life. As will be the beautiful coloring book pictures hanging on the fridge. The tiny handprints placed in paint and given to mom. And how proud that moment will be for them for such a gift cannot be bought or sold only loved forever and kept in the pages of their memories. Ahh! Mom! The one who wipes our tears away when we scrape our knee. Who tells us about santa claus and the easter rabbit and the tooth fairy and who holds us when we need love and attention. Who in sickness knows how to make the best chicken soup in the world and who checks our fevered brow and wipes it with a cool cloth and places a kiss gently on our cheek. Who when our heart gets broken for the very first time is always there to say this to will heal though her own heart is broken to see us hurt so badly. Who fills us with courage and strength and says: "Can't never did anything, you are a child of mine and I have faith that there is no mountain you cannot climb!" And in your trails and errors always has a kind word to show you the light at the end of your tunnel and sends you on your way to find it. Mom who when you had nothing showed you how blessed you really were because you had a kind heart full of love. Mom who stood by you when you broke that window at the neighbors house and were scared to tell you did but becaue you did, told you how brave you were and took you for ice cream because you did tell the truth. Mom who in her eyes you saw yourself and knew you were a beautiful human being though the trails of life make it hard for you to believe this at times. Mom who gently placed warm stones at your feet wrapped in towels so your bed would not be cold when you got in it. Mom who bought you your first teddy bear and told you he would listen to your darkest heartfelt secrets if she could not be found. Mom who set you on your way to be free to live your life as you saw fit then closed the door and cried because you had left the nest. She gives us wings and lets us fly. She gives us hope when we are dry. She comforts us when no words will do and tells you she loves you because you are you. She hides her fears when we take a trip and she breathes a sigh when we return, Thanking God for giving her one more day to love us more. So here's to mom who is all the above who fills us up and gives us love. Who we take for granted will always be there and sometimes forget to say we care. Just take on moment from your busy day and stop and tell her she's loved today. And maybe if along your way, you stop and pick a violet bouquet you'll see the warmth and see the love that I have mentioned up above. Here's to all you moms out there. Be you a mother of child, dog, cat, horse, fish, or bear. I hope you feel how much we care. Much, much warmth, "POOH" [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: Fri, 09 May 1997 09:31:33 -0400 From: David Johnson Subject: *etheridge* Re: hope for melissa (fwd) Date: Fri, 9 May 1997 17:27:51 +1000 From: [email protected] (Margo Hellyer) Subject: Re: hope for melissa Allison has dragged me out of perpetual lethargy and lurkdom by suggesting that our beloved but fashion-challenged Melissa subscribe to The Fashion Report.

I can't help but wonder how many Mormons you know personally. WOW! That's the same thing I say to people who generalize about lesbians and gays.(Well, I don't ask how many Mormons they know. I ask how many gays they know.) I am not Mormon, but I know and work with quite a few. They are some of the nicest people I know. It is true that for religious reasons they are against homosexuality, but they do NOT teach their children intolerance, prejudice and hate. The worst thing I have ever heard one say about it is "I do not understand it" or "It is wrong." They are strict with members of their own faith, but do not try to tell people who are not Mormons how to live. I'm sure that in some places there are probably some who do, but the people I know do not. Please don't judge a whole group of people by what you read in the paper or see on TV. It is the same thing as any other prejudice.

The May/June issue has a special focus on the IU School of Music, which was recently ranked #1 in the country by the Chronical of Higher Education and Change Magazine, and #2 by U.S. News & World Report (one-tenth of a percentage point behind Eastman). Only minor actual MEC, but I thought it was an interesting article. I'll break this up into two messages, since it's long. Enjoy! - -Anne - --------------------- BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER by Marc D. Allan (from _Indiana Alumni_ magazine, May/June 1997, reprinted without permission) You could put on a rock concert in the School of Music annex and not disturb a soul. It's Dec. 30, and the building is virtually deserted-- as it should be during IU Bloomington's winter break. But in Room 355, Kenny Aronoff, BM'76, is teaching drums. Sophomore Ryan Fitch, getting his first lesson, sits on a stool and listens. "There's a 100 percent chance I won't be here every week," Aronoff tells him. "If you want a great player, that guy's not around. He's out there, in the scene." In those three sentences, Aronoff has laid out the rules. He's so busy with recording sessions and concert tours that students can't expect regular lessons. But they will get their instruction, and they'll get it from probably the most in-demand drummer in rock'n'roll, a 16-year veteran of John Mellencamp's band who did two major concert tours (Melissa Etheridge, Bob Seger) and 20 album projects in 1996. The trade-off is worth it. Any of Aronoff's students will tell you that. They describe the relentlessly energetic powerhouse drummer as "friendly" and "down to earth," the rare kind of instructor who hangs out with his students after lessons. The even rarer kind of teacher whose autograph you'd want. "I've never met any other teacher who has such devotion to his students," says senior Mike Dupke, who, thanks to Aronoff, spent four months playing in Mellencamp's band in 1993. "One time I had an extra lesson to make up. Kenny was getting in really late from L.A. I knew he was exhausted. But we still had the lesson anyway-- at his house, at 1 in the morning." Realistically, Aronoff doesn't have time to teach. But for more than three years now, he's made the time. Every few weeks, he clears his schedule to fulfill his promise-- to give 15 one-hour lessons per semester to seven or eight students. "When I first did it, I had only three students, I think," Aronoff says. "Maybe it was more. But this is a big, powerful, exciting, world-recognized institution, and to be asked to be part of its faculty was exciting. I thought I'd do it for a semester and see if it felt good. What happened was that I got attached to these kids. When I'm the most tired and a kid comes to me and says, 'I'm gonna quit school if I don't get to study with you'-- I'm such a sucker for that." Maybe it's because Aronoff knows exactly how these kids feel. They might be a few months or a few years from graduation, and they want to learn as much as they can. Aronoff was like that. "He was a very energetic, committed, enthusiastic student," remembers Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Music George Gaber. "Whatever he did-- whether a workshop or lessons or preparation for a recital-- Kenny would pursue excellence and always would reflect joy in his work." When he graduated from the School of Music in 1976-- he studied timpani and classical music-- Aronoff had no idea what the future would hold. He had invitations to play in symphony orchestras in Jerusalem and Quito, but he turned them down. At heart, he knew he was meant to play rock'n'roll. "When we were kids, rock'n'roll was this fantasy," he says. "You didn't know how you could do it, but you just believed it could happen. Now, everybody is so educated about how difficult the music business is. I naively thought I'd get in a band and if I was good enough, I'd make it. Ironically, I did. But that was so naive." During school and immediately after, Aronoff played in Bloomington bands like the jazz-fusion outfit Streamwinner. And when he wasn't rehearsing with bands, he was practicing. But nearly four years after graduation, he still hadn't found regular work. So Aronoff packed up and prepared to head back to his hometown of Stockbridge, Mass. Just before he left, he got two auditions. He didn't get the gig with rhythm-and-blues singer Lou Rawls. But on March 27, 1980, he was the first of 50 drummers to try out with Mellencamp. "I broke two cymbals, sticks were flying, and I'll never forget the look in their eyes. It was so loud it was making them blink. It was LOUD." He was in, earning $150 a week. The Mellencamp band became his musical family for the next 16 years. But even with a regular gig, Aronoff continued to work at other projects. In off-hours, he played with local groups like the Ragin' Texans and in the house band at the Little Nashville (Ind.) Opry. ("They kept telling me to play softer.")

He started pursuing a second career as a studio drummer, a have-sticks-will-travel approach to rock'n'roll. Producers loved him, his energy, and his forceful approach to drumming. Don Was, who has recorded the Rolling Stones and Bonnie Raitt, tells of Aronoff single-handedly saving a lackluster Iggy Pop recording session with his enthusiasm. Mellencamp said admiringly at the time that Aronoff "went out and made himself a better drummer." "It takes a long time to develop your own groove and your own recognizable style," Aronoff says. "It's part of growing up as a human being as much as it is getting it together on the drum set. You have to have lived and experienced some things in life and have those emotions transferred into your music." Meanwhile, his stock skyrocketed. Not only did Mellencamp want him, but so did producers in Nashville and Los Angeles and touring artists such as Elton John and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Finally, last year, he had to choose. With Mellencamp working intermittently, Aronoff decided to leave the band. "John wasn't making it possible for me to pay my bills," he says. "I had to seek work. It wasn't a matter that I'd rather do sessions than be in the band; I obviously showed that by being in two bands. I love being in a band." And bands love having him. Etheridge raves. "We pretty much spin each other out into the universe by the end of each show." Dane Clark, who replaced Aronoff in Mellencamp's band, says he's always marveled at Aronoff's musical presence: "It's an honor to take Kenny's place in the band and kind of do my own thing. I think he redefined rock drumming for the '80s. He's always been a big influence." That's why students are so eager to study with Aronoff. They want to know how he got where he is-- and how they can get there too. Talent is key, obviously, and Aronoff has that in abundance. He provides a kind of musical thrust that practically lifts songs off the ground. But as crucial as that is, so is the willingness to work hard. Consider that Aronoff started 1997 with 21 consecutive days of work. On Jan. 2, he flew to Nashville to record in the afternoon with Bruce Hornsby, then boarded a Los Angeles-bound plane that night. For the next seven days, he worked on Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora's solo album. From there, he spent four days recording with Jon Bon Jovi before leaving to work with singer-songwriter Jann Arden. Aronoff keeps a similarly crazy schedule even when he's touring. Last spring, during Seger's tour, he spent off-days in Nashville recording with country singer Travis Tritt. During a five-day hiatus, he flew to Hong Kong to play with Mellencamp, returning on a Hong Kong-to=Japan-to-Detroit flight just in time to play a show with Seger. Why? "My answer is because I can," he says. "I can. It's phenomenal." Which brings us back to teaching. Aronoff's actions fit with the theory he imparts to students, that ages 40 to 50 should be the bread-winning, reputation-building years. While he tries to work on the basics of drumming-- beat, time, groove-- he also wants students to learn the business. How and when to inject their personality into the music. How difficult it can be to play simple beats. How they must never stop striving to be better. It keeps students coming back. Fitch, who got his first lesson on that day in late December, says Aronoff has lived up to his "excellent reputation." "Sure, his being out of town is inconvenient, but everybody really looks up to him," Fitch says. "All the students do." Dupke seconds the sentiment. "We've had lessons where we've not played a note," he says. "We just talked the whole time. It's so great to hear about the music business from somebody who lives it 24 hours a day, seven days a week." - ---------------------- SIDEBAR: KENNY ARONOFF FACTS Birthdate: March 7, 1953, in Stockbridge, Mass. At present: An ever-expanding list of recording and touring projects, including various drum clinics and new records with Joe Cocker and Melissa Etheridge. Where you can hear his work: Where can you *not* hear his work? On every John Mellencamp album since 1981. On tour with Melissa Etheridge. In the Tom Hanks movie _That Thing You Do_. On the forthcoming solo albums by Jon Bon Jovi, John Fogerty, and Richie Sambora. Personal: Lives with his fiancee, Liz Linfante; his son, Nic, turns 13 on May 10. His artistic niche: "The only reason I've become so good at what I do is because I've done it for a long time. I've just worked hard. I'm not a genius. I wear my heart on my sleeve, so my emotions are very apparent. And I've put in so much time that my groove has gotten really deep." Why the IU School of Music: "I graduated from this school (BM'76); it's a big honor to graduate from this school. It's one of the greatest music schools in the world. To be asked to be a faculty member was really exciting. Suddenly, I wasn't the student anymore; I was the teacher. And I believe in this program." Advice to new graduates: "You've got to give yourself 10 years. Go to a place and in 10 years-- by the time you're 30-- you want to be getting to the point where you're going to be the best guy there. You're a threat to the best guy in that town, and you're about to break into the scene as one of the cats. From 30 to 40, ideally, you want to be one of the cats, one of the main guys.

(he was still bald, though.) unfortunately, these are about all the details i can recall from my dream. after this particular sequence, i do remember woozily hitting the snooze bar again, so that i could go back to the MLE concert, but reality beckoned, and i woke up. discounting the weird beard thing, what i'd *like* to think it means is that MLE will be playing small venues again soon. :-) oh, and if she's indeed playing the fillmore soon, that show would be after the private concert she promised to do in my living room after sending me the autographed CDs...;-) *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 #69 ****************************** From [email protected] Wed May 14 06:14:47 1997 Received: from oliver.cs.mcgill.ca ([email protected] [132.206.3.1]) by lisa.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id GAA19100 for ; Wed, 14 May 1997 06:14:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from esosoft.com (esosoft.com [192.41.13.64]) by oliver.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA01503 for ; Wed, 14 May 1997 06:14:45 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA28748; Wed, 14 May 1997 04:01:34 -0600 (MDT) Received: by esosoft.com (bulk_mailer v1.5); Wed, 14 May 1997 04:01:33 -0600 Received: (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA28742; Wed, 14 May 1997 04:01:33 -0600 (MDT) Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 04:01:33 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <[email protected]> From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #70 Reply-To: [email protected] Sender: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com Status: RO etheridge-digest Wednesday, May 14 1997 Volume 01 : Number 070 *etheridge* ELLEN on German tv *etheridge* Christmas in May w/ Melissa *etheridge* Oops Re: *etheridge* NMEC: kd lang in "The Last Don" *etheridge* Wallet photos *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #69 Re: *etheridge* NMEC: kd lang in "The Last Don" *etheridge* gold lame' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 13:58:06 +0200 From: Satsanga Subject: *etheridge* ELLEN on German tv wrote: >Germany.

Anyway, i thought (since in Holland we watch German tv as well) it would be a nice idea for the Dutch fans to send a mail to the ARD. Because after reading their reply, i think you're right and have they no interest in buying more episodes. So maybe if we bundle our strength, they will get the picture! ;) Anyway, in Holland they start in September with the 'new' season and the 'coming out ep' will be aired about that time. They told me to inform again in September for the exact data.

How can a guy who loves her get a chance to get It's only love and Xmas/war is over when I go to my local store here in North York - Toronto and they tell me they are not available to the public. I have never been to a concert as I was when ME was here at Molson AMP, that I didn't feel cheated for the tickets I paid for. What I am saying is before the concert I thought ok here is a lesbian who can sing and play ok. After I thought who cares if she green Man Oh Man is this wonderful woman for real. A voice of an angel and devil all in one and she just rocked. I felt like she was singing to me and I was with 18,000 of my dearest friends. She made me feel like the ticket I had was an invitation to hear her sing in her living room. She made a arena feel like a living room. I have been to many concerts at the Amp. on Lake Ontario and have gone away thinking why can't this group or that group stop talking down to us and treat us like ME did. I know now that all you who have loved her for years are lucky to have been in her living room with as she sang to you.(concert halls). Thank you all for letting me into your little secret.

I hear I am being beckoned forth from silence. Well, the Poohster cannot resist such a plea! Na Na Na Na Na! To those of you who need to hear pooh ponderings, know that even when I am silent I am always close. For even in the quiet times I am always listening. I see and feel the music of your souls even in the darkness for truly we never walk alone when we are so united with the love and harmony of the music. And the woman responsible for this unity is Ms. Etheridge herself. For just as we know she is in her quiet time learning and loving and being a part of something so spectacular we know she left her legacy for us to carry on in this time of isolation. The legacy to keep life precious and speak with hearts of truth and dignity. To know we are a special people. We are a family of Melisters who know the value and worth of love and passion and promise of new tomorrows. The promise of new music to come to hold us over until its arrival and to carry on a legacy of kindness to all human beings. We are loved. We are united in music and the fire in our hearts cannot help but kindle new flames and spread throughout the universe and show the warmth and light to those who are out standing in the cold. Together there are no bounds, no mountains too high, no rivers too wide. Together we can do anything. Simply by listening to our hearts and the music therein.

Because of school I haven't been in front of the Television for weeks. So last night I got to see the Season Finale. I luckily have the "coming out episode" thanks to Diane (thanks again!). Which I also have yet to watch. I'm writing to express how neat it was to see lesbian issues discussed on televison. It was much more present than I was expecting it to be. The humor intertwined was done w/ such talent and fluidity. One question that arose for me is how long will it take for it to be a man to play the lead role? What was so cool was to see Ellen with her constant reminding how she was no different than anyone else. One instance that busted me up was when the large guy at the Bookstore said "what would you call that group of lesbians?" and Ellen replied by saying "4." I just wonder how long it would take to show a gay male without glorifying the stereotypes? The closest I can think of (that's done great) is the guy from Melrose Place. But I'm thinking of it being a main character with a major story role. It just seems that public acceptance of females as being homosexual has been much further advanced than the males. But then it might have always been that way, I dunno. I'm kinda new to this. Does anyone have any suggestions/insights/rebuttles? Are there any suggestions why there is this gender difference, or is this a dumb question. I dont know, this was just my thought for the day.

Hello I've been lurking on this list for the past month or so. Prior to that, I spent weeks trying to find a Melissa mailing list. It was worth the effort! In the past month, I've read several eloquent and insightful postings here. I've learned a lot and while I will never know fully what many of you have to go through and overcome just to be yourselves, I think I am getting a better understanding. And that's good. If all the closed minded, unthinking, "family values" preaching people out 'there' could spend a little time here, maybe a few more would open their eyes. Everyone who has the courage to stand and speak the truth, when that isn't particularly what everyone else wants to hear deserves respect, and those of you who do that everyday, in countless different ways, have mine. Anyways, I just received a Melissa Etheridge tape in trade on another list and I would like to find more. I saw Melissa last year at Alumni Hall in London Ontario and would love to get a tape from that tour. (BTW, I still have the review from the London paper of the show, is there any interest in me retyping it and posting it?) The show I received was taped from radio on March 10, 1994. It was a show from Montreal, and for filler, Unplugged is included. This, unfortunately is the extent of the my Melissa collection. If this is already in wide circulation, I do have dozens of Neil Young tapes from various eras. I hope someone can help me out with this. Thanks, and now, back to lurk-mode.

When Melissa was playing in the LA bars, did she ever play with a band? When she went into the studio to record her first album, did she have to find musicians or did she already have a band? 2. Where did Kevin McCormick come from and why did he leave? This might relate the question above. Was he in her band or did they meet in the studio? Did they have a blowup or did he leave for more money? 3. Does anyone know the total sales of Melissa's 5 albums/CDs? I have seen 5 million for YIA, but that was before YLS came out. Is the 5 mil US or worldwide and what is the total now? How many copies has YLS sold? What about the other 3 albums? 4. Have there been any Melissa sightings? (I miss her) Just Wondering, 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: Thu, 15 May 1997 22:29:21 -0700 From: "Rhondda L.

Some days are better than some. Ever feel real strong about that? Today I had that strong feeling as I drove into work. Listening to Melissa sing: "Let Me Go!" Somehow the song has special meaning today. As I read my mail and was feeling quite good for it was Friday, I had a few posts that really uplifted my spirits. And to those posts and the people out there who spoke so fondly and kindly to me I must say: I Am Truly Blessed! I do appreciate you one and all. I never really felt important or special, heck I never even felt that what I had to say was important to anyone but you all surely do know how to make a bear smile and have a warm heart. I guess I am overwelmed at times by all your kindness. I am a bear of little brain but in my heart I know that this list has more heart than any other I have seen and more kindred spirit and warmth than seems possible. I guess I am simply in awe of all your kindness and though you might not have known you all have helped and I have felt your warmth when I needed it most and I am ever "Thankful!" I am a humble Pooh today and I do cherish each and everyone of you more than you will ever know.

Where did Kevin McCormick come from and why did he leave? This >might >relate the question above. Was he in her band or did they meet in the >studio? Did they have a blowup or did he leave for more money? Kevin used to be ME`s producer but however for the YIA album Bill Leopold (and maybe ME) wanted a new producer. They got Hugh Padgham for that job who is one of the big, big ones in that business (Sting and I think Phil Collins).I think Hugh did try to change Kevins way to play so much that it didn`t work out with them. Money was for sure not the reason. There is alot of silence in ME`s area and Kevin also doesn`t talk about if there was a blowup. They don`t talk bad about each other but both of them did`t really react when I told them that I just met the other a few days ago. That was in June 1996 when I was invited from Kevin and Fritz to come to a Jackson Brown show in Frankfurt and saw ME at 7 shows where she opened for Brian Adams in Europe. Though I can not explain how much I love the way Kevin produced ME`s first three records, I am glad that I got the chance to get to know a person like Mark Browne. In my oppinion he also does a great job on the bass. Different than Kevin but still great and Mark is also a very nice person and I had in the last 4 years alot fun with him. It is also great that I still have contact to Kevin and Fritz and I enjoied the three Jackson Brown shows I saw/met them so very much.

I'm not trying to rub it in or anything, but I've beat most of you to the weekend! My end of the day came a few hours ago and it's been a very eventful week. I was listening to a preacher a few weeks ago who said something I forget sometimes, but is packed with wisdom. He said "Bad times aren't here to stay, they come to pass." Funny, I was thinking about that line when I was getting ready for work (at 2am!) and noticing the ring of truth in those words. Anyway, they brought a little strength and encouragement to my world today, I hope they do the same for you. And in regards to the question about a Melissa sighting.....gosh, I miss her too. : ) It would do my little heart good to see an interview on tv with Julie and Baily...but I'm sure they're enjoying the break. Have a super weekend everyone! jill ****************************************************************** * 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, 16 May 1997 16:12:54 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Intro & question/topic I've posted a few times but never done an official intro of myself. So, here goes. Well, I'm Eileen, a GWF (uh-oh, sounds like a personal ad) who's 32 and lives in the lovely state of Wisconsin, USA (GO GREEN BAY PACKERS!). I've been out since I was 28 and attended the March on Washington for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Equal Rights. It was just before that that I entered into my first relationship with a woman. Hey, what can I say, I was a late bloomer =o) Needless to say I love MLE and was lucky enough to meet her on a few occassions after concerts. On the night I first met her I was lucky enough to be one of those folks that is the recipient (sp?) of a crowd lean. The lovely MLE was kneeling in front of me on the stage playing a guitar riff during an encour (sp?) of LTWID and turned and leaned into me. I held her in my arms for a minute or so and it was ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN! I also like the IG's and am going to Lilith fair to see them, Shawn Colvin, Jewel and Sarah McLaughlan. I like to putz with the guitar, write poetry, practice artsy photography and drive my new yellow truck named Idgie with my dog named Xena in the back. Oh yeah, much to my disappointment I'm single...have been for far too long!!!!! Oh, and I'm living sober...have been for 2 1/2 years. It seem much harder to meet lesbians without going to the bars =o( I don't want to babble much more. I am hoping to go on a vacation soon (before the year is over) to London, Whales and Ireland so would LOVE to maybe meet up with some MLE fans overseas! I too sometimes see our Goddess as fashion impaired but I've been there too! You guys are really super and I LOVE Pooh's words of wisdom. Next time there's a Chicago gathering I'd love to come too! Bye for now and remember "Life is full of wonder, love is NEVER wrong."

And a moment in time froze. And you knew you would never know music the same. Never again would a voice and melody touch your heart and touch your soul in the same way. As if seeing the eyes of a lost love come back. Or hearing the meadowlark sing the first time in the spring. And the whipporwill call out in the warmth of the night. Inspiration! Now there's a word. There's a feeling! Somewhat like blue eyes reflected in a pool by a quiet stream in the depth of the woods. Yes, that is inspiration. And it is where the music leads your heart. Follow it.

Well, it's Friday night and I'm home alone baking birthday cakes for my soon-to-be-older friends, but I had one ME related incident tonight that made me crack a smile. I was wandering around our CD Superstore looking for birthday presents when I came upon the ME Jones Beach CD. Now, at $44 this is the most expensive "import" I have ever seen. I must have walked back to the section 6 times before I picked it up for good. It also has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selections on it along with "You Shook me All Night Long". How could I pass that up? So, I make my way to the front counter, and the two teenage guys try and look all studly. I choose the one on the left, and the flirting commences. I hand him my ME cd, and the guy behind the counter acts surprised at the price. He just raised his eyebrows at me and I assured him it was more than worth it. Needless to say - he quit flirting with me really quick though. This is my first concert bootleg - so I'm not sure if this is normal sounding or not. I've seen ME in concert about 5 or 6 times, and I know that this person taping must have a lot of self control not to make any noise. I'd end up screaming as loud as the next person.

"Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty and sadness. ...Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words." Hopefully, Pooh's words come from another source of inspiration, and not from much sadness. She has been a great source of inspiration to me, and I hope that she will continue to warm our world with her kind words.

Re: *etheridge* any one here? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 17 May 1997 08:37:00 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* sh*tty day...WARNING: DEPRESSING CONTENT Okay, I have to vent somehow, and this is as good a way as any. See, there's this silly, stupid, big, hairy mutt I grew up with. We got him from the Humane Society when he was 2 and I was 9. Well, over the last 12 years or so, I kinda grew a little attatched to this big stupid dog. And, up until about a year ago, he was still a rather young dog for his age. But over the past year he got real old real fast...blind, deaf, and arthritic. Last week my parents decided to put him to sleep so he wouldn't suffer. Last night was the "big night." Unfortunately (or fortunately...you decide) I had to work all night last night. I was home when they came and got him, but wasn't able to go to the vet's with them to say goodbye. Needless to say, I'm rather heartbroken by the whole thing. I miss his big hairy stupid ass. For those of you who didn't heed my warning about this being depressing, I want you all to do something for me. I want you to all pray for him tonight, or today, or whenever it is you do that sort of thing. His name was Winston, and he was the greatest dog a kid could ever have....fun, loving, goofy....he used to rush up to strangers, woof in their face, and then back up two steps, sit on his haunches, and whimper as if to say "I'm sorry, it was only my job...forgive me?" He kinda looked like a walking Disney cartoon. Anyway, if you could add Winners (silly nickname, huh?) to your prayers, I would deeply appreciate it. Also, if you have any pets of your own, whatever they may be, go to them, give them a BIG hug, and tell them how much you love them. I never really told him how much I really loved him...but he knew anyway. Well, except for fish...that might be a little slimy. Anyway, I suppose I shall return you to your regularly scheduled lives....already in progress. Thanks for letting me vent. Dawn who is planning on donating about half of whatever i may win in the lottery to various animal rights charities....in Winston's name ****************************************************************** * 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, 17 May 1997 10:16:15 -0400 From: Deborah Jones Subject: [none] Brian Paul Osan seems kinda worried about our little Pooh.. :) You are truly loved.

I've been reading this list for a while now, don't know if I've posted before though. It's good to hear all your natterings on subjects, ME related or not. I have posted privately to Pooh, but just for the public record, I too am an admirer of her prose and observations on life. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone is interested in doing some trades on audio tapes. I'm interested in any stuff that she's done live or studio that are not on her 'regular' releases. In particular, I would like a copy of 'You Shook Me all Night Long'. I have a tape of her Brave and Crazy concert recorded in Adelaide, Australia. It was broadcast live on the radio, so it's pretty good quality. If anyone is interested in a trade, feel free to email me privately [email protected] Hope you're all having a lovely lovely day and have as much fun reading your email as I do. Lots of smiles : ) to you all...............Leila. ****************************************************************** * 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, 17 May 1997 23:26:13 -0700 From: Brian Paul Osan Subject: *etheridge* any one here?

Dawn, I'm so sorry to read about Winston. My thoughts are with you. Having been in the same situation myself, I know that you'll never forget him. Just remember all the great times you had together. And what a good life you both had together. Later on, when your ready, I'm sure another great dog, will come along and continue, watching over you as Winston did. I know that he's watching over you now. My 1st dog was 17, when he left me. I got him when I was 4 yrs, old. So we also grewup together. Some people,(without pets) don't realize, it's the same as losing a family member. The same feelings are there. It's been over 20yrs since mine left, and I still get upset, sometimes when I think about him. Fortunately, I have 2 others taking care of me now. :-) I'll mention you both in my prayers, Sandy ****************************************************************** * 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, 18 May 1997 12:49:27 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Fwd: Visual "You Are Loved" I hope you all like it as much as I did! - --------------------- Forwarded message: Subj: Fwd: Visual "You Are Loved" Date: 97-05-17 20:09:49 EDT From: TheProud1 To: LOC SHOOT CC: Wheelocks,VSedgwick,Beekib,Cugli CC: StarGazerB,SHUUG,X2u2 Wanted to send this on to all of you in my life who I love having in my life!

I'm looking for recordings of Canadian ME concerts, with the exception of Montreal 1994 (the concert from the "Bonsir Montreal" CD). Vancouver, BC is one that I'm especially looking for. Also, if anyone has any Bryan Adams Canadian concerts (again, Vancouver, BC would be one I really want), e-mail me too. I have a lot of ME tapes I can trade you. Thanks!

Been doing the workaholic thing as of late but stopped in to catch up on the list and can see we have lots of new names on the list. So for all of you who have joined us in the last month or two let me throw you a big welcome!! To all my lister friends who I have not been in touch with(SueD, Shirt Gal aka Joyce, John Juan De Miller, Sue M, Poohster)recently I apologize for my dropping out of sight. I am glad to read the praises of Pooh here on our list. She has helped to keep me grounded and focused on the basics, keeping heart and being kind. I was fortunate enough to meet our great bear this past Easter and even managed to get a photo of her out on my Web site. Well I best get back to work. Just wanted to peak out over my terminal and say hello to everyone. Shirl Home Page: http://www.kutztown.edu/staff/lmf1/sah BTW - What is the word on the Fajhita Fest(Forgive my spelling) these days?

Good to see you here again! I've been busy myself... not only with far too much work, but with lots of live music, and several Bay Area visitors... for each of the last three weekends we've had several German visitors from this list: On Friday April 25, Rhondda and I met Nicole Becker and her friend Uwe. We were able to visit a couple of used record stores (looking for some rare 'import' CD's), then enjoyed a leisurely dinner in the Castro. The following day, several Bay Area friends from the Ani DiFranco list joined us in Golden Gate Park to listen to the music of SOUPSTOCK, an annual benefit concert for a group which feeds Bay Area homeless. That night, Rhondda and Nicole visited various used-record shops in Berkeley while I went with some Ani-list friends to hear another inspired concert by Jane Siberry. The following Friday, several of us from three lists (Etheridge, DiFranco, Indigo Girls) met Gitte, another visiting Etheridge-lister from Germany. We all met at San Francisco's "Bottom Of The Hill" where we listened to Melissa Ferrick's powerful opening act for Lisa Germano... as several others have reported about this tour, Melissa Ferrick's show was among the best we've seen this year, while Lisa Germano's show was (I'm trying to be polite) boring and uninspired... I left after Lisa's third song. Last week, Rhondda and I met Tanja and Jana (two more visiting German Etheridge-listers) for dinner in the Castro. The following night, over a dozen of us from three lists (MLE, Ani, IG) met to see Melissa Ferrick perform at the Stanford University Coffeehouse. In spite of the nearly overwhelming heat in the place, Melissa kept everyone entranced with her music and stories... as usual, she played only her own songs (including one or two new songs to be released on her next CD)... except the encore, which was a delightfully playful version of "Jessie's Girl", As always when cyberfriends visit, saying good-bye is difficult... we had only a few short hours to share, and now they're gone. The warm memories are still here, and it's good to know we can still remain in touch through email, but I always miss our visitors when they have to go... so here's a big hello to Nicole, Uwe, Gitte, Tanja, and Jana... from your friends in the Bay Area. Last weekend ended with a fantastic evening of live music in a little 200-capacity club... Alma and I (and four friends from the Indigo Girls list) got to hear and meet Wendy Bucklew and Caroline Aiken... if any of you get the opportunity to hear either of these women, I think you will enjoy their performance... Wendy's lyrics have been touching me since I first heard her two years ago, and her warm stage presence is playful and inviting. Caroline's stunning 12-string guitar work is breathtaking, reminiscent of Leo Kotke at his best, and if you're lucky you'll get to hear her play her soon-to-be-released song, "Left Wet". :) And to Shirl... I can hardly wait till you're in the Bay Area again!

Being back home from our trip to America I just wanted to tell you how fantastic it was and what a wonderful thing this list really is! I am still lost in my memories without really being able to deal with all the impressions we gained. There were so many unforgettable experiences which make it really hard to come back to "normal life" again. The most outstanding experiences for me were the meetings with some Listers in San Francisco and L.A. and I can tell you that I had really wished to stay longer... It was so exciting and everything just possible through cyberspace - terrific!! So, once again thank you so very much for simply everything to John, Rhondda, Melanie, Alisha, Nancy, Taragh... All of you made this trip something very special and unforgettable to me. No-one can take away these memories, that's for sure! Your kindness and warmth - all your efforts were fantastic! I hope to be coming back as soon as possible! I think John has already mentioned what we have done in SF... - three weekends with German visitors, that's really remarkable...! - Hey, Tanja, I will contact you, soon - I think we have a lot to talk about and to share...!! L.A. was fantastic, too. We spent each of our three nights there together and I had really wished we had some more nights...

So here I am...a girl from Belgium, 22y... eager to learn! What I've been doing with the list is not very spectacular yet...mostly I've been reading what you all talk about and I noticed that you seem a tight gang...you're also a bit older than I am...that's not a problem of course but when I read that Shirley has been in the Navy, I felt a bit like the smallest puppy in the pound...you know... By the way, do most of the Listers live in the States or was that just my first impression? Over here, Melissa is not that very well know, except for the one song they always play every time at every party (Like the way I do....) It would be great to find another fan a bit closer to Belgium, too! Also, I'm not very familiar with all this internet-thing...but I did manage to find a list of bootlegs...I don't know whether they were all there but I didn't find one of mine in there. It's the one from last year's tour in Europe....THE WITCH QUEEN OF COLOGNE. Maybe you already have this one, I really have no idea, but if you don't and you'd like to get it, just e-mail me! What else can I say? Hoping you'll help me find my way around here a bit and thanks for listening....reading!

It was wonderful and I look forward to her next tour here. I will never forget this two days who I have meet you and many other Listers. We saw so many beautiful places from this land and I agree with Nicole that it was so hard to be back in Germany and pass over to the normal life.

Sometimes I sing along, or dance to the rhythm (it's a good thing nobody's watching). I notice that I don't actually understand some of the lyrics, but the feelings they give me is enough.

Perhaps it is because I see sadness and wish to do my part to make this world a bit brighter. Afterall everyone needs a little sweetness in their lives. So my mission is to merely be a window to things misplaced, tender moments shared but not forgotten, little things we loved yet left behind in growing. Times of pondering when the traffic is getting to ya. Times to cherish for they may never be again, a calm reminder to listen with your heart. To stop and smell the flowers but to watch out for the bees! To know that life is for loving. To know you are not alone. To know that hearts are always open and open hands need filling. And if that day comes when perhaps this bear is a skywalker floating on the clouds in the heavens above she will be sending you the stars at night to remind you to keep a twinkle in your eye and innocense in your heart and to listen to the children for they know how to live and how to love unconditionally and without fear. I send you lightning bugs to light your way in the darkness and the sound of the whipporwill to let you know who Pooh is and where she can always be found. Listen with your hearts.

On SueD's request, i've got a closet reserved especially for you. :) Btw, it's spelled "Fajita Fest." You were close...

Alright Randy!!!! If patti hasn't sent you an emailout with my number and address, send me private email and i'll see that you get the info so you can get in touch when you get here. I'd hate to think of you being stuck visiting your mom while we gals are out galavanting around town. (Unless of course, you like spending time with your mom - then it's cool.) And for those of you who are fairly new to the list, let me extend the invitation to you. We (my roommate and myself) are having a MElister get together (along with our personal friends) here in Austin Texas on 7 June (Saturday). You're all invited. We had a blast last year! It should be just as much fun (if not more!) this year. Send me private email if you want more info. 19 days and counting... (US time) lizzard PS. Yo, Zorro!! you got your perky "swords" all sharpened and ready to show off?! along with Calvin....

I just have to say how wonderful the people on this list are! I look forward to reading my digest everyday because everyone is so encouraging and positive! The last 6 months have been much more tolorable and at times even exciting because of all of you. Thank you. Well, I have nothing about ME but I have missed posting so I thought I could give Holly my .02. Holly - you mentioned that your friend is not happy with the person she is with right now. I would use this as a way to find out her possible feelings for you. You could ask her if she is really unhappy with the other person, why she doesn't want to be alone with them, what went wrong and if she ever thought of leaving them. If she tells you ways the other person treats her badly you can slyly stick in that if you were the other person you would never treat her that way. Perhaps this will give you an idea if she really wants out of her present relationship and give her the hint you might like to be with her. Well, anyway, this is just one idea. I'm never very good with direct approaches :) Hope it goes well! Hoping for new Melissa stuff very soon!

I never wanted to be "the lesbian actress." I never wanted to be the spokesperson for the gay community. Ever. I did it for my own truth.

Hiya I guess I have a confession to make. The last year I haven't been listening to Melissa at all. Joining the list made me wonder why I threw her music aside a bit. Listening to her again today made me realise why. And I have to get this out of my system again, who better to tell then the people who might know what I am talking about. Last year I had a boyfriend (yeah i know i know, it's oldfashioned to be straight) he was german and I am am belgian, we lived 3 houres apart, both speaking a different language but communicating in English. I never saw a problem in it. But he did. After 10 months he dumped me. The reason, I lived too far, the language was too hard... I still loved him and I knew he still loved me. A month later he had a new lover, a girl living in NYC (so much for the distance), he said he really loved her, making plans on getting married to her, in the mean while telling me that "it was his brain fighting his heart" and "if it wasn't for your dark side I would come running back to you", in the mean while, I was still crazy about him. So... I fell for someone new, just as he broke up with his american girlfriend... Things with the new guy (he was my best friend) didn't turn out the way I expected it to. Whilst i was dating him, my ex was telling me things like "if i make mistakes then i make up for them, but in some cases there is no way of turning back the clock", I should have known then that I still had feelings for him... I realised it only later, when it was too late and when I had almost ruined a great friendship. After that my ex and i got a bit closer again. Now he's got a new girlfriend, a real barbie. And everything is going GREAT. After he dumped me, I sorta went totaly bonkers, I was getting myself an ulcer worrying too much over it all. I lost 40 pounds. (in other circomstances, I would have been glad) You may wonder what the hell that has to do with not being able to listen to Melissa. Well she seemed to describe everything i was going through in some songs of hers... And at times the truth is too hard to handle. I was starting to miss her music, and being on this list made me miss it even more. So this morning I decided to listen to her again. The result... tears and a stomach that is acting up again... I guess I got the choice now, either I ban Melissa out of my life or I get over it. Banning Melissa's music out of my life is NOT an option! So, I'll seek some comfort in her music. For all you out there who got comforting songs... Lemme know! it's been over with the guy for 9 months now... makes me an idiot doesn't it? love Karooke - --- Cos there's a queue of clowns assembeling on the horizon of your smile When most thing that you're holding back I know you're holding bile ****************************************************************** * 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, 23 May 1997 12:43:52 +0200 (MET DST) From: Kitty Van De Waart Subject: Re: *etheridge* I wondered why...

They did such a good job with the song selection. It must include: - - Let's Get it On going into Like the Way I Do from the early early days. - - Keep It Precious from the March on Washington - - Thunder Road with her and Bruce - - ITOO from the YLS tour - - Royal Station 4/16 from the YIA tour (I think) - - Occasionally from the old bar days - - You Can Sleep while I Drive either with kd or a real good live version where you can hear the crowd singing along - - The Angels, No Souveniers from NE tour - - AIH from YIA tour with good audience participation - - MBCFM and MMITB have both been big crowd pleasers and should be included. ...and the rest of the hits.

Hi All! I've been hanging out here for a few weeks now, and thought it was time to introduce myself! My name's Sheri and I'm a HUGE MLE fan from NJ! I find all your posts very interesting, and some of you have a marvelous outlook on life! I'm still in, due to the enormous fear of losing everyone I know and love. Someday though, I hope to come out and finally be myself for once! Anyway, I look foward to making lots of new friends on this board! Take care!

Just a pocket novel here before we all start our weekend! POOH: Loved your morning message! I�m one of those who�s �waiting in the dark for the moon to set and the sun to send warmth and love your way and that soon your paws will be holding more than a bottle of bubbles in the sun.� John Miller said, in regards to Ani: <<---- some Canadian and US (including ALASKA!) dates here ---- August 14 Water Festival, Stockholm, Sweden 22 Reading Festival, Reading, England(rumoured) 26 La Batie, Geneva, Switzerland>> JOHN: Where is the Alaska date??? My sister lives there and I might just fly up to see Ani if the time is right!!! I�d love to see ME�s version of AD/DC�s �You Shook Me All Night Long� on a live compilation! She sang it here in Milwaukee and it was incredible! Oh, to be able to hear her sing �Knockin me out with those American thighs� anytime I wanted =o0 She really ROCKED when she sang that one! Regarding ME and Sophie: I loved the way Sophie played with ME (I was so pleased that they did DWIWYL because it�s always been one of my favorite tunes!). I think ME was a bit embarassed but I choose to not read too much into it. Sophie, in some interview, identified herself as �omnisexual.� Go figure. I�ve always thought Helen Hunt and ME looked like they could be related. Helen is SUCH a beauty. I love watching Twister just to see her in that tight white shirt =o) DAMON: HAPPY B-DAY honey and please cheer up. I know how missing someone stinks, but take this time to get to know yourself and enjoy the peace and quiet! Have a great weekend everyone! I�ll be moving so I�ll be totally stressed out! On the up side, I hope to be buying my home computer VERY soon and can be online more! Eileen �Guess I wasn�t the best one to ask. Me, myself with my face pressed up against love�s glass.� The IG�s. ****************************************************************** * 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, 23 May 1997 12:35:37 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Re: M.E.I.N.

For the newer listers, besides providing cool information and discussion threads about MLE and other musical artists, this list has also introduced some of us quite by chance to the 'loves of our lives.' I met my honey accidentally on the list over a year ago and she ended up relocating from Florida to Maryland to be with me (well okay, and my 11 yr. old twins, and our cat named Shorty...) Heck, I've even got her coaching the kids' co-ed youth soccer team with me. It must be love! If memory serves me correctly, Kate and Sarah met because of this list too as have several other couples. And I can't even begin to imagine the number of new friendships that have started all over the place because of the list. And speaking of friends I've met on the list.... my favorite dominitrix buddy, Deb, responded to my post about the upcoming IG concert: >>I'm looking forward to catching them in concert the week before (May 28) at >>D.C.'s best outdoor venue, Wolftrap Amphitheater. Hope to see some local >>ME Listers there as well. > >Maybe. Twist my arm. You're *such* a tease.... (Besides, you're just worried I'm gonna kick butt when we go bowling - NOT!!) And finally, here's my wish list for a live MLE CD (in no particular order): 1. You Must Be Crazy For Me 2. Yes I Am 3. Like The Way I Do 4. Skin Deep 5. Ain't It Heavy 6. Talking To My Angel 7. Nowhere To Go 8. An Unusual Kiss 9. Come To My Window 10. Bring Me Some Water (with Joan from Duets) **And some bonus cover tracks- 1. Shook Me All Night Long 2. Hunka Burnin' Love (from the Elvis tribute) 3. Maggie May 4.

That's so true. I met my soulmate through this list. And before i met her, i didn't really know what a soulmate was. We aren't living together yet because she's finishing up her Masters degree (and maybe a PHD as well) in New Zealand first. Then comes the tough part of immigration...one way or another. Unless of course, some miraculous ruling comes through in the Hawaii case... And as for live ME tunes on a CD... 1. Ruins 2. the other ME tune from Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael 3. Let's Get It On - leading into... 4. Like The Way I Do 5. Chrome Plated Heart 6. Testify 7. Let Me Go 8. You Must Be Crazy For Me I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend. 15 days till the Fajita Fest.

I used to be fairly involved with the list, but the past few months have been quite intense for me, and I sincerely apologise to the people who I have lost contact with, but you have never left my heart!! Spring has finally sprung here in the Canadian Rockies and with it my heart is once again filled with happiness and my cupboard filled with Tequila!!

I'll tell you a little about myself. I'm 15 years old, possibly the youngest on the list, not sure. I live in Pontiac, Michigan with my mom, brother, and cat, Bailey (guess where I got that name). I have all of Melissa's cd's, which I'm sure most of you do. I'm the only one around this neighborhood, my age, at least, who is a huge fan. I go to sleep at night listening to her with the radio blaring. Many people say I'm obsessed (thank you). That's nice of them to say, don't you think? Unfortunately, I've never been to any of her concerts, because I have no one to go with and I'm too young to drive there by myself. Feeding my addiction to Melissa is difficult because the only thing to collect around here is... well, cd's, which I have. Other than that information, I lead a very boring life. So, thanks for reading this long message. Bye-bye! April P.S.- Thanks Leila. ****************************************************************** * 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, 23 May 1997 16:34:56 -0400 From: Deborah Jones Subject: [none] Happy Memorial Day, Everyone!!

But in the entertainment business it doesn't take luck...it takes talent. So I'm back from the Big City and I have to appoligize to the Toronto people that I could get a hold of while I was there. I was only there for 2 days and one of them was my audition. I thought my audition went very good, but they didn't so unfortunatly I have to tell you all that I didn't get into George Brown. I'm alright though. As I beleive that everything happens for a reason. I did have fun in the city while I was there...even got a minute and a half to go to Speakers corner. So that adventure is over now, and now I have to find a new one...maybe Hollywood:) Thanks for all of your support.

The big thing is that I think Melissa wrote so many songs that are in touch with all problems people can have. Unimportant what kind of sorrow u have I'm sure Melissa did a song about that !!! And if u r in a bad mood and listening to the right song I'm sure everything will break thru...but the other thing is that it should comfort u because to see that Melissa felt the same long time ago and she came thru - very well !!! I think that is one thing that makes her so special - she felt everything she wrote about and she can understand whats going on in the people and she "is the only one" who can bring u thru with her music....So, I feel like I should say that u must listen really close to Melissa, u have to face the situation u r in - but after that u will come thru and feel better and u will "never be the same". But don't think that I mean its an easy way - its never easy when its in touch with feelings. It's not like I'm just writing about things I don't know. I've had a bad time quite a while before - a very hard one. But I listened to Melissa as often I was able to do and I felt comforted by her - although a lot of songs reminded me of the person I felt sad about. Sometimes I think Melissa wrote some songs only for me - how should she otherwise know what I feel ;o) . Well, only by the way I'm also straight but I discovered that I can also have feelings for ladies - the hard thing is that I'm married. It's not because of Melissa I discovered my feelings for females but its a fact that I like her a lot and not only the music, u understand what I mean ?? so, I hope I didn't bother u but I felt like I should give u some of my intentions - not only for u also for myself. I hope - no I'm sure u will go thru the mist and u will feel better after u crossed it - so take care of yourself and keep yourself precious. Love, Frauke* ****************************************************************** * 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 #85 ****************************** From [email protected] Sun May 25 06:03:26 1997 Received: from oliver.cs.mcgill.ca ([email protected] [132.206.3.1]) by lisa.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id GAA06465 for ; Sun, 25 May 1997 06:03:26 -0400 (EDT) Received: from esosoft.com (esosoft.com [192.41.13.64]) by oliver.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA07520 for ; Sun, 25 May 1997 06:03:24 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA21544; Sun, 25 May 1997 04:02:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: by esosoft.com (bulk_mailer v1.5); Sun, 25 May 1997 04:02:08 -0600 Received: (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA21538; Sun, 25 May 1997 04:02:07 -0600 (MDT) Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 04:02:07 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <[email protected]> From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #86 Reply-To: [email protected] Sender: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com Status: RO etheridge-digest Sunday, May 25 1997 Volume 01 : Number 086 Re: *etheridge* Flying Free For Fajitas!!!! *etheridge* The book Re: *etheridge* The book Re: *etheridge* The book *etheridge* Remembering *etheridge* New to List *etheridge* Re: At the station Re: *etheridge* New to List Re: *etheridge* Re: At the station *etheridge* not much MEc - New York or visitors *etheridge* not much MEc - New York or visitors *etheridge* live CD speculation *etheridge* VH1 Duets *etheridge* Songs for ME to play *etheridge* Wish List for MLE CD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 24 May 1997 06:37:02 -0700 From: Randy Subject: Re: *etheridge* Flying Free For Fajitas!!!!

Big green ones that graced the signs of the Sinclair Sohio Stations throughtout Ohio. A time when sandlot kids met up after a game of baseball to grab cokes and candy bars and potato chips and rave on about home runs and pop flies caught that shouldn't have been. I was the girl always picked to play baseball with the guys and darn proud to be one of the gang! Then it happened.That moment in time one never forgets. The most beautiful car we had ever graced our lowly eyes upon pulled in. Top down, and you with the widest smile I had ever seen. And you were in heaven there in your new flying machine. Grubby paws and dirty tennis shoes sprouted wings that day leaving only dust settling behind as we flew out that station door. In awe we stared at the boy looking so like a man in his uniform. You spun a web of stories and places so amazing and our imaginations took flight along with you as you took us to places you had been. And then you reached in your pocket and handed me a lock made in Germany and said: Here you keep it. It's yours. It was a gift from far away, a place I had only heard of and one I knew I would never visit and you chose me to give it to. I was humbled. I made you a promise there that day. In front of the guys with the grass stained pants, wads of bazooka and dirty tennis shoes. That I would keep it forever and hold it dear just as I would you and the memory of that day and I took the raz from the gang for being so like a girl. But later on that same hot summer when the news came in that Allen Sheline was killed in Viet Nam, I pulled out a grey lock with brass chambers and held it close knowing in my young heart life was different and innocense was forever lost. And as I remember and look at it today some 33 years later I see that bright beautiful smile and that young handsome boy trying so hard to be a man and I know I will never hold such a precious gift again. Yes, I remember. Here's to all who gave so much for us and the sacrifices they and their families have made. I am ever thankful for the gifts they gave on this day made for pondering. I remember.

I'm new to the list and relatively new to ME-I became aware of her when Yes I Am was released and have since bought every other cd and saw her in concert here last Fall. Anyway, I have heard & read so much about the VH-1 Duets special and am dying to see it. Unfortunately, VH-1 has not responded to many requests to re-air. I read on the list today that it was on last night, but after checking VH-1 online I discovered that it was just the "best of duets" and that included some parts of Melissa. My question is, does anyone know if I can purchase this video somewhere? Thanks so much- Michele ****************************************************************** * 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, 25 May 1997 08:52:48 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Whoopie's tattoo Hey everyone, Haven't posted in along time because I've been house cleaning before my little brother (little - right, he's 6'5" and weighs 230#) comes to visit here from Texas after seven years.

I have 10 diffrent ones from MLE and three diffrent from John Shanks The very first I got (1988 or 1989???) doesn`t have her name on it. The others have Logos and/or Melissa Etheridge written on it. One of Johns has in addition to his name the keylogo on it. >...how can I obtain ALL of them? I am pretty sure not even anyone in MLE area has all of them !!! The picks come and go for them. Trace(ME`s guitar tech) never mentioned to me anything about, that they try to keep from each at least one. He sometimes gives the order for them to be made and he told me that he had the ideas for one or two. >How many different colors of them are there? I have 7 diffrent colors. >How many different designs as well? have 10 diffrent designs Before I get any requests: I don`t have any picks double anymore. - SORRY I gave all the ones I had double (at least 20-30 since Jan `96) to other fans.

Hi there, I just wanted to say something to Joyce book although I guess you have already discussed it for several times...! Well, however - thank you Joyce for doing such a fantastic job! It's so great and so powerful... - it makes me laugh and it makes me cry...! It's a great thing to have all these stories and everything put together! As I come from Germany I had to carry over several copies of it for my friends when I was in America two weeks ago... - I myself read it in two nights! While reading it I couldn't get enough and wished it would be longer... By the way, hey Tim, I have already heard a lot about you! During Melissa's concerts in Germany I was always looking around me in the first rows, asking myself who of these guys might be you...!? I was very curious about the story behind it - so great to hear about it in Joyce book - and what an amazing story...!! John mentioned the ANI DIFRANCO - dates in one of his last mails - thank you for that, John! I was really surprised to get to know that she will be even playing Germany! You have to know that Ani is really absolutely unknown here but when I was in SF I had to buy her live-album cause everyone I met was so enthusiastic about her! Now I will be even able to see her performing live soon - GREAT! Take care you all and keep on going... - it's always refreshing to enjoy your mails!

And Joan, Paula, Jewel and Sophie were great choices for this show. I think the part with Jewel seems so genuine, that she really was in awe to sing with Melissa. (I'm very jealous - - aren't we all). I would love to know more about picks also. Where to buy, how much, etc. And of course, I love hearing from POOH, too.

It pains me badly to say this, but the techno version of "Phantom" is really quite good - and I was literally cringing while listening to as much of the "2001" remix as I could stand.

I am constantly hearing the lyrics of "The Angels Won't Let Me" And I feel the meaning to this for me this week is that they just won't let me give up. Grateful for a song that gives such comfort, the bear of little brain goes forth humming it throughtout her day. Thankful that Melissa the vessel for the song brought it into my world. Hopeful that the music will pull me through as I deal with yet another crisis in the on going saga known as life. Life can be a funny thing. Life can be sad. Tossed in the huge salad bowl of life sometimes you end up with all lettuce and no mixins! These are the dark days in the world of pooh. It all started 6 years ago when mom came to live with me. Take the salad bowl and throw in a smoker and a non smoker. Now add lung disease on top of the smoker and see what happens. You end up with water and oil. Just don't mix. Yet the salad wants it to mix and trys every known combination to make it so. Always arriving at the same effect. Pneumonia! Not a good thing. Now take a bear who wants to have her mom around a little longer yet seems to always be standing there watching as mom gasps for air. Hard boiled egg! This brain of mom. Soft hearted bear cries out "Why" And the angels sing and the bear draws strength and reaches out a paw to hold on. And she is ever grateful, ever humble, ever sad as the needles come and go. And there in tormented sleep she knows it is out of her control for nothing is gonna change until the last breath is drawn. I don't know how many of you out there smoke but take a moment and think about how hurt the ones you leave behind are gonna feel. How helpless they are and how loved you are and know they want to hold onto your paw a little longer and share stories and have you sing to them and hold you close. I'm not getting on a soapbox today for I am too sad. Just know you are loved more than the feeling you get when you inhale and that there are lonely paws reaching out in the darkness to touch you one last time for we never know when the trip to the hospital will be the last. I Thank God For The Angels, "POOH" [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: Tue, 27 May 1997 11:42:19 -0600 From: Kate Bender Subject: *etheridge* Ellen episodes Hey, everyone!

This post is mainly a request for musical critique. Has anyone (well, I know several of you do) got the MLE songbooks? I am more of a pianist than a guitarist, and am wondering what the transcriptions for the keyboard part looks like. I have repeatly gone to several music stores, and they never seem to have the books there for me to peruse. Any comments are very welcome, because I don't really want to order the books from MEIN if the arrangements are quite cheesy. Thanks!

Hi Melisters.... I'm sorry I'm going to bother you with my talk, but I do not have anyone I could talk about this. So I'll do what a lot of other ppl already done..... I'm going to talk to you. In some ways it's far more easy..... Everyone has a name, but not a face... Well it's about this person I'm attracted to. ( I already told you about it... well when I answered Holly's question....) I do not want to illude myself, because as I told you, I know exactly 'Love's' thoughts about an 'US'. (I hope you can understand me...) Well, today I was already at work when 'Love' came in. For the first time I felt a need/ a wanting/ a desire for 'Love' giving me a 'good morning' kiss. (....you undestand what kind of kiss....) After 'Love' wished all of us a good morning, I felt empty, disappointed, frustrated. As I told you before I know about my 0% chances.... but it was soooooo strange, such a strong desire for 'that' kiss.... I think I'm driving crazy.... Did someone have such crazy and strong willing to be hurt ?!?!?!?!? I'm sure not.... I must be out of my mind... After getting hurt willingly (sp?) it felt like something I could never expect from _my_ 'Love'. I mean, this is what you would call a real masochist..... Sorry for stealing your time folks....

I have no idea who she is, but I saw her speak a little on VH1's "Women First". In response to someone asking were they the only one's who liked B+C, no. I love it. Actually, I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!! About MLE cutting a live album, there's no way I can only pick ten songs for her to put on it. All of her songs are unique in their own way, so one isn't better than the other.

I realized my opening statement said I hope you all survied labor day! Whew! Messed that up royally!!!!! Anyway, you all are too much! I have come to know and understand that love has no boundaries and that families are everywhere. The next 24 hours are gonna be rough and will show us more. I hope my mom is strong enough to pull through all this. I am very overwelmed by your support and love. This is the greatest bunch of human being on this earth. Know that you are treasured beyond words and that you are loved by this ole bear. I leave you with this: It was a warm breeze blowing on the meadow and the bees were singing. Pooh sat curled up against a tree and pondered her sadness. Life is not fun thought she. Yet when you think you are all alone, paws reach out and show you warmth and love from places far beyond the realms of this bears imagination. Surrounded in that love and compassion she thought of Melissa and knew it was her candle in the dark that summoned us all together to draw near to the light and illuminate the darkness. As we did we knew that the power of our love together would shine and darkness would be no more and sadness would be more tolerable. For united we are strong and the bond is ever growing, ever strong yet gentle and kind and this list is a place we all can call home. As the moon rose in the night sky the bear in the dark looked up and the moon smiled and shone down on a nearby stream and it flowed as if it were liquid gold and the bear knew this stream flowed with love and compassion to surround her in her time of need. And she knew that it all began with a single candle in the dark and her name was Melissa and her list was overwhelming. And a very humble bear stood and knew she was loved as never before. 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: Tue, 27 May 1997 22:42:05 +0000 From: "tbird" Subject: *etheridge* On the Mountain recording Howdy....

Am I wrong? Why is that? If you like Brave and Crazy, which I do, you must try to find a bootleg CD called Precious Pain. It is a FM concert from Boulder Colorado on Oct 1, 1989. The broadcast was just before B&C came out and it is great fun to hear her introduce the songs we are now so familiar with from B&C as new. It is also a great sounding disc with lots of energy. As a bonus she sings Ready to Love as an encore. Regarding a authorized live album, it's hard to imagine it could only be done on one disc. Recent versions of ITOO and LTWID would take up more that 30 mins of the disc. Silent Legacy, YLS and RS run about 8 or 9 mins each. If they didn't use the extended concert versions, what would be the point. I would be happy with anything they put on it as long as it includes You Used to Love to Dance. 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/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #89 ****************************** From [email protected] Wed May 28 06:04:14 1997 Received: from oliver.cs.mcgill.ca ([email protected] [132.206.3.1]) by lisa.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id GAA10383 for ; Wed, 28 May 1997 06:04:13 -0400 (EDT) Received: from esosoft.com (esosoft.com [192.41.13.64]) by oliver.cs.mcgill.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA03918 for ; Wed, 28 May 1997 06:04:12 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA09955; Wed, 28 May 1997 04:02:35 -0600 (MDT) Received: by esosoft.com (bulk_mailer v1.5); Wed, 28 May 1997 04:02:34 -0600 Received: (esosoft@localhost) by esosoft.com (8.8.5) id EAA09948; Wed, 28 May 1997 04:02:34 -0600 (MDT) Date: Wed, 28 May 1997 04:02:34 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <[email protected]> From: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: [email protected] Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #90 Reply-To: [email protected] Sender: owner-etheridge-digest@@esosoft.com Status: RO etheridge-digest Wednesday, May 28 1997 Volume 01 : Number 090 *etheridge* MLE mention in "Milestones"/Albany-flamenco-"concert" Re: *etheridge* On the Mountain recording *etheridge* Tim.... RE:*etheridge*ME-Sign *etheridge* RE: smoke&the angels ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 27 May 1997 23:24:06 -0400 (EDT) From: Vivian Choh Subject: *etheridge* MLE mention in "Milestones"/Albany-flamenco-"concert" Hi all, Meant to post this short little blurb before heading down to Albany to visit my sis, but alas, did not get the chance. Better late than never I guess!! Toronto Star, Saturday May 3, 1997 (reprinted without permission) "On May 6, 1995, Melissa Etheridge set a record with back-to-back singles -- 'Come to My Window' and 'I'm the Only One' -- on Billboard's Hot 100 for at least 40 weeks." BTW, when I was down in Albany, I went to see a show/semi-concert (I don't really know what to call it) at a restaurant called Stephanie's in the Park, featuring some flamenco guitar music. I thought it was fantastic. The trio featured two guitarists and a Flamenco dancer; one of the guitarists is a fellow graduate student of my sister's, who, if I recall correctly, composed several of the pieces that were played that night. The guitar playing was great, but the dancing was bit wasted on us, since we were sitting rather too close to get the full effect, although the location was great to catch a close up of the castanet (I'm sure I've spelled that incorrectly) playing!! And because we were sitting at such close quarters, the sound (of the guitars as well as of the castanets) was also fantastic. I'm not too sure what the group is called; I think it's El Hale, or something like that. I'm also not sure that the dancer is always in the group. I only know the guitarists regularly play together at other gigs. The night that we went was the first night of an experiment that the restaurant owner wanted to try. The owner basically wanted to know if there was interest in late night "concerts" (on weekends) in Albany. The cover charge was $5, after 10:30 p.m. and this was supposed to last 'til 1:30 a.m., when I suppose, the restaurant would be closing (we left at about 1 p.m.). For those of you in Albany, if the restaurant owner (of "Stephanie's in the Park" -- I think the park it opposes is Washington Park(?)) is still experimenting with late night "concerts" and if you like flamenco or even just guitar (acoustic/classical) music, I would definitely check it out (I like Spanish classical music, but I think I like flamenco better!!). My sis just told me yesterday, that the group is now recording ("cutting" is I believe the word?) a CD. Will let you know what it's like if I ever get my hands on it...

Just another day here in cheese land. Can anyone tell me why my quotation marks come up on the list as those annoying little black boxes? ME Symbol: I also don�t think it�s lesbian related. I have it on my ankle, quite large. When someone asks me what it stands for, and if I don�t feel like giving the whole truth, I just tell them that it�s a symbol of female strength. Stephanie: Sorry to hear things didn�t go the way you would�ve liked :o( It sounds like you�re ok with it though. Karooke (sp?): I�m so sorry for you hon. Take the time to listen to our ME because even though it may make you cry, it�s cathartic. I found crying was needed in so many situations I�ve been through and listening to ME�s music helped me so much. I�d have to say that Brave & Crazy is my favorite cd! I just LOVE The Angels and Keep It Precious. Here�s a poem for y�all: UNEXPECTED LOVE I never expected that I would like her. I had spent so much time doing just the opposite. I never expected that after finally meeting her I would feel the way I did - unsettled by my attraction. I never expected that as I got to know her, she would unknowingly make a place for herself in my heart. I never expected to find myself in her arms kissing her tender lips. I never expected that I would fall in love with her. 5/24/94 T.T.F.N.

Hello, everyone! Well, I've been lurking here for quite a while now, but a recent "disaster" of sorts made me delurk - I lost my Ellen shows!! You probably all saw the post I sent two days ago, and I just want to say thank you for the response. I'm 20 years old, and I live in Minnesota. My best friend/roomie/ex-gf got me involved in this list, and since then I look forward to all the postings and opinions of the fellow listers. It's been a real treat. I first started listening to Melissa about three years ago...when I first came out to someone. (Rather than bore you with the details, I'll just cut right to the chase.) The Melissa Etheridge song "Silent Legacy" really hit home that summer, and since then I've been a fan of hers. I have yet to see her in concert (hides), but plan to as soon as she starts up again. I hope to be able to write more in future posts, and look forward to reading more from all of you. Until then, keep it precious.

Before you start reading my post, let me forewarn you that it doesn't have any MLE content whatsoever, so please feel free to skip it. Also before I begin, I want to include a disclaimer that my little story is to be taken lightly because it's a "tongue in cheek" poke at gay parenting. (Btw, where did that that saying... "tongue in cheek" originate anyway??) What I mean is that I hope no one bombards me with any indignant responses or sprains an ankle by jumping to conclusions because they think that I'm making sweeping generalizations. Besides, it's not like I'm wishing everyone a Happy Easter or anything. ;-) So anyway, here goes.... I've mentioned in passing a few times on the list that I have 11 yr. old girl & boy twins. My son, Corey, and my daughter, Alex, are my pride and joy. They're very bright, social, atheletic, loving, funny, and cute, (and both of their parents are gay). This is not to say that they don't drive me crazy when they argue over who cleaned the kitty litter last or who ate the last ice cream sandwich. Over the years Alex has taken a strong interest in sports; she's assertive; and she's very self-confident. Her number one hero is Xena, with Gabrielle running a close second. Heck, in third grade she even socked a bully who had been picking on her younger brother, Corey. (Note: Corey is one minute, as in 60 seconds, younger than her but she never lets him forget it.) Anyway, imagine my surprise, when just a few weeks ago, after soccer practice, Alex announces that she wants to try out for Poms. I stare blankly at her and ask, "What is Poms? Some new type of kick-boxing?" <<>> It's CHEERLEADING!!! Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer here. But it's not *just* cheerleading. It's the "dance kind of cheerleading" where you shake those pom-things and dance around with your pony-tail flouncing in time to your dance routine during half-time for the local boys football team. So what's a mom like me to do??? I spent several sleepless nights asking myself, "Where did I go wrong?" Was it because I let her watch the video of Clueless??... Then I tried to convince myself that it was "just a phase," that these kinds of things didn't happen in my family.... I even surfed the 'Net trying to see if PFLAG had any kind of support group for "PFPAC"- you know, Parents and Friends of Poms and Cheerleaders. But all to no avail. In the end I was forced to accept the fact that my little girl may grow up to be- yes, to be Homecoming Queen. (Oh the irony of it all!) But you know what.. once I gave her the go-ahead, Alex practiced her routines every night and two weeks ago she competed against a bunch of girls in her age group who'd already been on the Poms & Cheerleading team... and I'll be darned if she didn't make the JV squad. Now if I can just get her to quit playing her Hanson (that Um Bop song) and Spice Girls tapes for a day, I'll be happy. Ah.. the joys of raising teeny-boppers. :-) Have a great day!

A big {{hug}} and *kiss* to all of you. Seeing as how I've (sigh) never been to one of Melissa's concerts, I was wondering if she explains each song like she did on Storytellers. If she does, could you tell me what she says? I just want to have a feeling of what it's like to be at one of her concerts. I loved Storytellers because it made me understand songs that I previously had no clue what she was talking about. Also, does anyone know if Melissa will be putting out another album? I read somewhere that her previous songs were about heartache and she got out all her rage, but now she's so happy with Julie that any more songs would just be about love. So, they wouldn't have the same feeling. She never mentioned if that meant she'd make an album with songs about love or there's no point in making another album. I'm pretty sure she will make another album, but I was wondering if anyone could verify if and when one will come out.

I feel totally at home now! And also a very special thanks to the people who offered to send me a copy of the Ellen shows I lost while moving. Don't ask me how, they just are gone. :( While I've been on the list I've seen many people discuss problems they have had. Well, I'd like to ask for some advice about my situation. I'm home living with my parents who do not yet know that I'm a lesbian. It's been an uphill battle for the last few years, but bareble. My sister asked me about a year ago if there was something going on between me and my best friend (which at the time, there wasn't..so it wasn't a lie when I said no). I believe now that if they ask me, I will not deny it. But there have been times when I just want them to know, without me telling them. I want to tell them about my ex, my new postion at school as co-chair of B-GLAD. So..what do I do? How do I tell them? I would love some advice on this matter. Thank you to all...you've made me feel very welcome here. :) Kate ****************************************************************** * 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, 28 May 1997 23:23:44 EDT From: [email protected] (Victoria M Knight) Subject: *etheridge* aol transcripts on aol, go to "keyword" and type in transcripts. at that screen type in melissa etheridge. there were many,many references to melissa. every time someone said something about melissa or she gave an interview on aol, it was listed i know so little, i just lerk, but reading about melissa, i know . kathy ****************************************************************** * 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, 28 May 1997 22:38:01 +0000 From: ~The Saint~ Subject: Re: *etheridge* HAPPY BIRTHDAY I'd love to give Melissa the birthday bumps;) 1 2 3 4 oh what!

Needless to say, I havn't gone a day since without listening to some Melissa. The original cassette I had has long since gone to the great cassette graveyard.....stretched to it's limits . It didn't take long to figure out that I'd never get enough of this woman. Several concerts, cd's, posters, T-shirts, pics & years later....I still can't get enough. Hard to believe I won't be seeing her in concert this summer :-( So, Melissa, if you happen to check in on your devoted listers today,I just want to say THANK YOU. You've deeply touched my life and those of countless others with your music. We'll wait patiently (ok... not so patiently) for you to go on tour again, for the next album, for the Joplin film....... May all your wishes come true, Melissa Happy Birthday Peace, chefdeb - --------------------------------------------------------- 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: Thu, 29 May 1997 13:05:40 -0700 From: [email protected] (Udo Dunker) Subject: *etheridge* Try to explain ... Hello, I just want to make sure that you know it was not my intetion to get big thanks for anything I did with picks, strings or whatever. I just wanted to make sure that I really don`t have any picks to share left and that I normally share, if I can. There have been quite a few people asking for those in that time I am online now (about 16 month) and I don`t mind the asking at all. It is just not allways possible to help and please every request. I am also not always able to respond right away to every email. So I hope all those who waited for an answer or something I wanted to send to them don`t take it personal. I never ever did not respond or waited so long to respond because I didn`t want to. I just don`t get enough time beside my job and I am also very slow on typing that I have a little aversion to it. So this is also the reason that I normally don`t have any long posts. I work from Mondays to Fridays and on Saturdays I study at university (on Sundays at home) to get my graduation in business management. Until the end of April I went in addition to this every 4 month for one month to a school for torism management where I just had some finals and have one more test in July before I finsh that. And to be honest it is very good for me and my future that MLE is not touring anywhere in the world for the next 1 and 1/2 years until I finished my business management graduation. So I hope I could explain a bit ... To those I owe any replies, please forgive me and keep on reminding me .... Thanks and I wish we all have a great day today while MELISSA celebrates her birthday.

Anyways, I always want to tell my family b/c it is killing me by not talking about it and I know they will be supportive and are very open to this kind of things. But, I can never find the words to tell them!!!!!! So I know it is very hard and I too could use some advice on this subject.

Hello, It seems like alot of use are sharing common problems. Our families are always a sore spot in discussing who we really are. I am coming to terms with alot of stuff my self and it seems like the last people in the world I want to tell are my parents and other close family members. About a wee ago at a family gathering I sat in disturbing silence as i listen to my family members down the gay and lesbian community. I put in my 2 cents worth and was shot down immediatly. So for the rest of the dissucsion my only words were can we please change the topic. it hurt me deeply and forced me back farther in to my own little closet. I wrote about it and thought that many of you out there in Melissa land....are sharing the same problem and maybe this will help you... THE FAMILY The family doesn't approve. The family doesn't know. Their words cut deep and sting with ignorance. They don't want to see it. They don't want to deal with it. It is closer than they think. They talk like it is monsterous, a diease with a cure. Not a born with trait fought from day one. To be normal To be acceptted by society It is only a dream, far, to far away. To live a lie, knowing everyday/ What would they say if they knew you weren't who you had seemed to be. To face their words you have heard since birth. To be one of "those" To be one of the "wrong" The struggle goes on against family and friends Living a lie and not being you. It is a hard place to be To live in the shadows and hide your real feelings. To keep your family To keep your friends To keep your job You lose yourself and your happiness. To live with this tourture of knowing your not accepted of knowing they don't approve. 5-24-97 Hope that it helped someone 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: Tue, 28 Aug 1956 12:54:17 +0000 From: Jill Borden/ Jill Bateman Subject: *etheridge* Happy birthday Happy Birthday, Melissa...the one who is so loved!!

So, they wouldn't have the same feeling. You know, as a songwriter, I went through the same thing. It was pretty easy to write all those songs about all my old, rotten relationships, etc. When I got into a good relationship, I worried that I had lost some inspiration for writing. It is somewhat well known among writers that it is easier to write from a sad place than a happy place. However, ME was already crossing a few of those lines before, on the last couple albums. You get much better at expressing "happy" and "joy" as time goes on. And then, somewhere, you find that rage again. It may be directed at a social cause, political cause, inequity, etc, or you may even write about another person's bad times. So, to sum up, IMHO, I think Melissa will come through the transition with flying colors. She has some time to adjust. And never fear, she is a songwriter, she has ideas inside that *must* come out. It will prove great, even if she experiments with it at first.

A pooh fan club huh. Well, I don't know about that one but Ms. Jones seems to be enjoying herself so I will let her run with it. Family matters. Whew lord that is a hard one. I feel I have been dealing with family matters since I was a mere bearcub. I have come to find in my life that I am a member of many families. I am loved by most of them and the others well I don't think their opinion of who I am holds any water. So I don't go there to drink from that well. I find that whenever I need my thirst quenched I go to the source. And always I am satisfied. Families do matter and love matters and hatred for others who are different is untolerable. I am reminded of two kids one black and one white who found some loose change in a phone booth at a jackpot telephone and guess what? They shared that change. One bought a root beer and one bought a popsicle and when half the popsicle was gone and half the root beer was gone they swapped and each was in heaven. The simplest rules to live by I learned on the bank of salt creek. When you have worms and your friends don't, cut the worms in half and share. And when you run out of bait, it is time to grab your ball mit. And when someone on the opposite team has a good hit, you tell them so. And on a pond in Kansas alone with the man I thought was God I learned that when I said who do you see sitting across from you in this boat. And he said my babygirl and I said see I am still the same Janie and tears welled up in his eyes and he gave me one of those big bear hugs of his I knew and so did he that though we were different we were still the same and the fishing was good that day and cruising in that big ole chevy pick up was never the same as he pointed out look over there at that cowgirl! I guess what I am trying to say is it took time but when I was honest and those that loved me were to, life somehow got sweeter after the bitter taste wore off. So if you are mistreated and misunderstood, hit em in the head with love and share your life with those that really are the family that matters. Much Warmth, "POOH" [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: Tue, 28 Aug 1956 14:04:15 +0000 From: Jill Borden/ Jill Bateman Subject: Re: *etheridge* Re: Family Matters Hi everyone...inspired as ever by Pooh thoughts, and touched as I was with a new lister's struggle to come out to your family please allow me to add a few words as well. Many of you know that my spiritual background is steeped in Christianity and as one good friend once pointed out, I've taken that drawer, dumped everthing out and am sorting through the garbage...and leaving the treasures in tact. Here's one. Jesus was really busy and tired to the bone one day trying to get people to understand love...and his mom and brother shows up and wants his attention, so his buddies say "hey, your mom's here, so's your pesky brother" or something to that effect! And he looked around the room and said "these are my mothers and my brothers". Some of us are fortunate in that our biological families can move past the social stigma that attacks those of us in the gay and lesbian community...but so many others are not so blessed. So for us, in my humble observation, families take on entirely new dimensions. So should you come out to your family? I don't know. You do. I do know that despite the old joke "you can pick your nose but you can't pick your relatives" doesn't always apply. We, like our wise African brothers and sisters, make the community our family. And if I could just steal a few more words...imho, it's a tremendous advantage to be out as a homosexual. Some people think homosexuality is all about sex...I think it's all about philo-truth-y - the love of truth. Just a thought. By the way Holly, that was a wonderful poem. kip, jill ****************************************************************** * 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, 29 May 1997 14:22:29 -0400 From: Deb Subject: Re: *etheridge* live cd & other stuff At 08:14 AM 5/23/97 -0500, David Goodman wrote: >I would love a live cd to be like the Indigo Girls >CD was.

You love her so dear, She's number one in your heart, But there's a new addition, So this birthday's not the same. A little girl named Bailey. A child that bears your name.

In interviews before little Bailey was born, Melissa said she and Julie were going to change their last names so that all three of them would have the same name. Well, since the baby has been born, have they already changed their names? They had to put something on the birth certificate, right?

We have a yours, mine and ours family meaning my husband has kids (and grandkids), I have a kid and we have a daughter together. Our kids range from 5 to 29 years of age. While I don't have much influence on my stepkids, I have always tried to teach my own kids not to label people but to like them for themselves. Cady, my 5 year old, and I talk about different families. We talk about Melissa and Julie and Bailey being a family, about families with single parents, etc., etc. We talk about the important thing in a family is that everyone loves everyone else. That is what makes a family. This is a premise that is really important in our family. Cady was born with hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and has multiple surguries. She is a wonderful kid (she loves Melissa Etheridge so she has to be). I don't want her judged by her disability. She is exceptional and needs to be judged by who she is not what is different about her. I could ramble on but I think you can get the point. My favorite Melissa Song is "Silent Legacy" which talks about mothers teaching their children that "love is never wrong". That is certainly what I am trying to reach mine.

Last March Melissa blessed the hotel with a mini concert that was known as Snow Job, (I haven't forgotten about your tape Joyce), it was there today that I wished Melissa the very happiest of birthdays. Every time that I visit the hotel, I stop for a moment to remember the last time that I spoke to Melissa, and I hope, that through all my ramblings I remembered to thank her for the music, the joy, the goodness, and the wonderful people that she has brought into my life. And if I did not get those words out of my mouth, it was not because they were not filling up my heart. It was likely because I couldn't get my brain in sink with my mouth. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Melissa for all the above, and to wish you all of the happiness in the world. Happy Birthday! Joyce, (The Shirt Gal, who is really really psyched about the up coming Fajita Fest, a belated Tequila birthday toast will be done in honor of Melissa's birthday, any MElisters care to join me???

A little miracle. It was a cold and very misty day and it started Pooh to pondering. Same highway as yesterday but different. There along the side of the road stood a deer and "Benny" honked her horn to send her back into the woods where she belonged and gracefully she went. Same highway that mom traveled down dying and in distress when the poohster decided to come years ago and there was no saying "No! Not Yet!" A miracle was born on that day for both mother and child. Mom asked to live long enough to see her children grow. Pooh was just lucky to be alive. Or was she? I think it was a little miracle for both. Same highway and hospital that grandpa went to when he suffered his stroke years ago and as he lie there like a baby bird knowing not one member of his family the Poohster walked up and when asked if he knew who this was his reply was: "Thats My Girl!" Another little miracle. Same highway different miracle about to happen. For as she wearily walked toward the hospital doors with no smile to be found, a man on a park bench sat and as I approached him he looked up and lit a cigar then as the smoke left his lips he smiled and looked straight at me and opened the box in his hand and said: "Here You Go!" As I reached out my paw I saw a pink label shouting out at me"It's A Girl!!!!" And I look at him all proud and excited and say "Congratulations! A little girl huh? And he beamed as he said Yes! As the doors swung open to allow me entrance I hesitated and for a brief moment I wanted to sit down by this stranger and thank him for sharing his miracle but I went on. Twirling the cigar as if it were a baton I looked down at it there in the elevator between my fingers and it hit me. A baby girl born on Melissa's birthday I wonder what her name was, could it have been a Melissa too? Maybe, maybe not. But somewhere in a basinet lies a little miracle who brought this bear to her knees with just the mere announcement of her birth and I hope that one day she will know what a little miracle she is and how her light shone down and put a smile on this bears face that warmed her heart and made her realize that even in the face of despair little miracles are here. And I am ever so thankful that my heart is open enough to see little miracles. As I sat on the bed and massaged moms feet the nurse came in and mom looks up at her and says: This is my babygirl, her name is Pooh. Funny, mom has never called me that. I guess it is another little miracle that she knows this bear for who she is. What a day, what a life, what a miracle. Looks like mom will be coming home this week-end. Yep, another miracle! Thanks to all of you on this list who send warmth and love and positive energy to a little hospital in Southeastern Ohio. I am forever grateful and as always a very humble bear. Much Warmth, And Love, "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: Thu, 29 May 1997 22:32:40 -0500 From: Jan Subject: *etheridge* deb, tag, and listowner stuff Deb wrote: > Gee, Dave, we didn't even have to tag you! ;) > > Who's currently "it"?

Hm, I'm not so naive that I don't know that it is only a wish but if we wouldn't have our wishes this world would be more darker then it is now.

Well, this has been the longest short work week of my life I think. Even so it has been a week of blessings. I have been blessed with kindness, joy, tears, and so much warmth and love that I am truly as a child watching fireworks on the fourth of July. I believe in the power of the heart. The power it has to show emotions and to share them with others whether it be in sadness, kindness, happy or sad times. It is a miracle to me the strength that the human heart has. The passion it sends out, the willingness to open itself to others and the ability it has to be the tenderest part of the human body. This week has shown me that even an old bears heart has more strength than even she thought possible. It is because of this list and the passion and power of Melissa's music that I can truly say that yes, I can walk on two feet instead of crawling on all four and I can breathe a sigh of relief that everything is gonna be okay. And life as hard as it can get always offers us a rainbow behind the storm clouds and "Oh how I do adore that sight!" I am wishing you all a day of nothing to do but play! To go out and splash in the puddles after the rain! To go out and play red rover and hop scotch and don't forget the jacks! To sit in fields filled with flowers or nothing at all and listen with your heart at what the earth is saying. And last but not least, don't forget to bring the bubbles! Make it your day and know you have all earned it for somewhere in the woods a bear sits by a stream and stares at the beauty that surrounds her and gives thanks for each and every one of you and truly you all deserve to smile and be loved for you have truly made me feel this way and I wish for it to be returned tenfold!

I am so impressed!! And thankful for the responses!! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that kind of response. I maybe expected a few things here and there on the posting if I was lucky..but wow! I wish there was something I could do for you guys!! I laid out in the sun(a small miracle here in MN) listening to ME...the NE tape I copied from my roomie/best friend/ex-gf (long story, and if anyone wants to hear it email me..yet be prepared for one of the longest emails you have seen.), and I just relaxed and remembered the past three years of my life, and the differences that have occured. Three years ago, (and if I tried I can probably figure out the date) I told a girl named Amanda that I might be gay. Now look at me....20 years old, a junior in college, through my first relationship, gained many friends, and most importantly gotten more comfortable with who I am. Whenever I listen to ME, I'm reminded of that summer that I spent a week in Iowa on a church retreat. It was the greatest week of my life...I had found someone who understood me, and who was willing to help me out. (And if you're out there somewhere, Amanda Busch....THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU!) I also found that my friends were willing to stand by me through it all. yep...a great week, indeed....*sighs softly, remembering.* I had gotten YIA a week after I came home. My sister asked me if I know ME was gay. I said yes. That was the end of our discussion. Maybe she knew abut me back then...? How can I forget?? Happy Birthday, ME!! You were with me in Iowa, and you are still with me today, when I post to the wonderful group of people who have opened their arms to me. I am eternally grateful. That is all from me. Once again, thank you so much for the support. I usualy don't babble on this much about my life...hope you don't mind. :) - -Kate (still trying to think of something to write at the end of her posts) ****************************************************************** * 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, 31 May 1997 03:34:14 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: *etheridge* Crown Royal Bags >>Barb Biagi wrote: >>(who has her string & pick in a *special* Crown Royal drawstring bag, >>hanging near her computer where she can see it !) >>SueD commented: >>Umm, Barb, if I promise not to tell anyone can I get a private viewing >>of what else is in that Crown Royal bag?

I was just reading your posts about all the shots you will be taking at your little party this year. Being underage (15) and all, I've decided to have my own party with just taking shots of coca-cola. So, I just wanted you to know that I'll be joining in with the fun. By the way, my neice's 3rd birthday is June 8. She may not be on the list, but you can take a shot for her if you'd like. Also, as some of you may remember, I live in Pontiac, Michigan. Well, there's this place called the Palace of Auburn Hills where singers have their concerts sometimes. They keep momentos (sp?) of as many people they can and the stuff is behind a glass case where everyone can see them. Melissa was there a while back and as I was looking through the case, I saw that she'd autographed four of her cd's (all but YLS) and also autographed a guitar with "Speak True...Melissa Etheridge." Seeing as how it'd be illegal to break the glass and take these things, all I could do was press my face against the glass and look. Just thought I'd share this information with all of you. So, there you go. Hugs and kisses, April "They don't understand what they don't see..."

I am packing my suitcase in my mind as we speak, tequila drinking shirts, (including one that says one tequila, two tequila, three tequila floor) as well as my Melissa bowling shirt, toothbrush, BIG bottle of tequila, my one lolely Melissa guitar pick, (not the Melissa guitar) and maybe a copy of the snow job tape that some may not have seen just yet. Do I need anything else that I may have forgotten? Oh and Liz, I will look into that Yukon Jack thing for you, I'll price it here at the liquor store, and I'll let you know if it is better for me to pick it up here. As we have many many birthdays and reasons to do shots, I think that we MAY have to do a group birthday shot, or at least group a few birthdays together, and SueD, please don't let me forget that we MUST do a mean people suck toast in honor of our wonderful friend Shirl, who sadly won't be making it to FF. Punster, Sue, yes I will be bringing you the pictures from NYC, (finally) I know they are in this mess here somewhere. Other that that I do believe my packing list is complete, I am very very psyched about this party, my friends here think I am nuts, but they can not possibly understand the wonderful friendships that I have made because of this amazing list, and how wonderful it is to spend time with people who think similarly to the way that you do, even if it is only for a couple of days. And Glenna and Dave, I know that you are not headed out to FF this year, but I do recall that you are doing an across Canada Trip, please, please e-mail me, let me know when you are coming through Banff and we MUST get together for a little visit.

Being underage (15) and all, I've >decided to have my own party with just taking shots of coca-cola. So, I just >wanted you to know that I'll be joining in with the fun. I wanted to take the time to comment that while we've been talking incessantly about doing shots, there will be quite a few people there who don't drink alcohol (mostly because they don't care for it. I'm not sure if there will be any underage people in attendance, but they're just as welcome). There are a few people who will participate in the shots but substitute soda or water or something non alcoholic. And it's just as much fun, in my opinion. Besides, we need a few people to stay coherent enough to not let people take off if they're drunk. We try to be responsible while we're having fun!! :) I felt the need to comment on that just in case some of you wanted to come but don't drink and thought you might feel left out. That's not the case. Everyone is welcome!! Unless you turn out to be a total jerk, then we might ask you to leave. But we've never had that happen in the 6 or 7 years that we've been cooking fajitas. 7 days to go.... lizzard ****************************************************************** * 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, 31 May 1997 13:13:25 -0700 (PDT) From: [email protected] (beth stikkers) Subject: *etheridge* posting from another list...survey involving Melissa I thought this was pretty cool and a good way to express how great melissa is and how great it is being a fan!

She even got a little "uppity" (for fun!) The Girl can strum some mean cords. Her lyrics are upbeat, heart-wrenching, blue, Wild.......you name it!

Hi there, You know society has this perceived notion how a person should or shouldn't act. I think your mother still loves you, and from the way she reacted I think she just wants to keep the memory of her little girl living that so called normal life. I think she will come around give her a little time. I think what you did took courage keep your chin up, and all ways remember there is people out there who'll always love you.

WOW, this must be the week to come out to families. I came out to my mom (and dad) two nights ago when she asked me the big QUESTION!! Of course, I said no at first, but after reading some people's post's (especially POOH's) I managed to answer the question honestly with a yes (after hesitating for about 15 minutes and ignoring what my mom was saying). Anyways, Angela I agree with you love is love no matter who it is with and if more people would only try to understand this, our world would be a much nicer place to live in. It is unfortunate that things are tough for us, but luckily we do have some things like ME's music and support from friends who can help through tough times. My family took this so good that I was overwhelmed at how well they responded. I knew they would respond this way, but I was still afraid of telling them. I think that maybe your mom doesn't know how to deal with this and that is why she may be ignoring it, (which is how many people react), but, I bet she will come to realize that your her child and she will love you and accpet you unconditionally. - --Peace - --Trish "The Legacy Stops Here!!"

And having mom here sleeping in her bed all cozy with her dog at her feet is the sweetest sight these eyes have seen all week. But the sweetest gifts of all come from another home. A home I know in cyberspace where once I dare not go now I find solace. The people on this list and the love and true caring nature has touched me as nothing ever has. I am so grateful for each and every one of you and for your truth and wisdom and courage to come out of lurkdom and show up on my screen. There is a favorite place I go when I need to ponder and get in touch with me. It is on a ledge overlooking a lake. I watch the sun dance on the water and the leaves soar in the breeze and yet somehow now I think there will be a new reflection there. A reflection of friends never met yet loved, faces beaming with affection and the love and warmth from them will surely force the water to leap with life and send a wave shimmering in the golden light of the sun. For the truth has set us free. We try so not to love many times in our lives especially after the pain of loves wounds hurt us so. We say we will never go there again. Yet the flames of love beckon us to come forth and to fill the empty cup and allow that joy to overflow and fill the rivers and the streams of our hearts teaching our souls we are alive. And the lake will never be the same, and the keys I touch will somehow be different. For here in a tiny corner of the world love has come knocking and upon opening the door I find I am not alone anymore. I leave you with this: I have purchased honey from the store to savor and enjoy but the purest and most precious honey of all I enjoyed from a fallen tree in the woods as I gently placed a paw into the emptiness of its hollow and filled my soul because I stopped and looked within. And home is a place known to all who live here and the lake is a mirror to our souls. Rest easy and love!
