So I put in her FIRST released CD and played it again, I guess It will be the song he remembers....

That is the easy way out for alot of so call straight people. It was easier for you to pick your boyfirend. It sounded like to me you love your roommate very much. How did she feel when you left her for your boyfriend. I bet she was very hurt. You have to ask yourself, how did she make you feel inside. You also have to ask yourself, how do your boyfriend make you feel inside. Which feelings was more satisfying and stronger. Maybe it was just the easy way out, you never know.

Hey there, MElisters!! What a day!...I met Joyce "The Shirt Gal-ivanting" Stoliar today at DFW airport for about 45 minutes as she flew in from LA -- & an all-too-brief visit with John Juan DeMiller in San Jose -- on her way to New Orleans. Tonight (though she doesn't know it yet) I'm gonna surprise eLIZaBURN (Liz Burns) at the airport on her brief layover toward Austin from visiting Jud in New Zealand for a month :) Joyce asked me to post that she'll be in N'awlins for a week, so if there are any MElisters in New Orleans who want to meet one of the funnest women on the planet, email me privately (at pattif@iadfw.net OR pattif@airmail.net) and I'll give you the details on Joyce's stay in New Orleans so you can hook up What a year so far....I saw Joyce at the Fajita Fest in June, in San Antonio in August, and in Dallas today :) She's in my blood now, I think!! We had -- OF COURSE -- the traditional MElister "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!" tequila shot at the airport...with an additional shot in honoUr of "Travelling MElisters -- May they be safe!" We chased it all with a Sam Adams and then followed with a w-h-o-l-e (what a TREAT!) famous "evil evil cookie (tm)" personally baked by John Juan DeMiller!! (Last time I had one of John's famous evil evil (tm) cookies was at the very first Fajita Fest....a whole box of them arrived, but they were all CRUMBS by the time we opened it....not to fear though, every crumb went like hotcakes! ) I really encourage any MElisters who are in the New Orleans area to make time to meet up with Joyce....you will NOT regret it!! She's one of the (many ) crazy Canucks on this list and our very own original Shirt Gal, the one who made the purple MElister bowling shirts a WONderful reality for so many on this list :) She's met Our Lady of Etheridge in person twice now, and is the very same Joyce Stoliar in Joyce Luck's bio of MLE....so give me a shout! She really wants a chance to meet up with any N'awlins MElisters who might be out there :) I'm gonna see her again next Friday when she passes through Dallas again on her way back to Banff On a different note (MEC) , someone asked about the Cologne boot (by various names). I've got it on tape and CD, but please note that this is the concert where John Shanks was playing his guitar tuned just enough off from Melissa and the rest of the band to be somewhat distracting...though the quality of the recording is good.

SueD reporting under the guise of one of those eastern PA wimmin! (Darn those descriptive sig files). Anywhoooo, all thanks to Rhondda and the traveling concert guides of hers. The reports of Sedona were an inspiration to us poor, Melissa starved devotees. I got some more input on Sedona from buds off-list, some of the crazies who helped make last fall such a Melissa Hall of Fame travel extravaganza. They were also at Sedona and experienced the fun of MLE in the sun (hmmm, no never mind, don't go there). The report in says Melissa looked great, sounded great. My friends were hangin around before/after the show when they saw a van drive up with Melissa, Julie, AND Bailey Jean. Bailey was riding on Julie's back in one of those back-carrier thing-a-ma-jiggies (ooooh, all of this technical talk). Bailey was nattily attired in a lovely little red sun bonnet. When my buds waved, Julie & Melissa smiled and waved back. Sounds as if the happy family is doing just fine. :o) Now on to other news...Shirl the hurling girl has returned to the eastern shores of PA. I stole her back from those BABers (waving madly to the Cookie man, Mel, Rhondda, Kim, et. al). We whisked her away from the hustle and bustle of the Allentown, PA INTERNATIONAL airport (hear that Joyce, you can still come and visit from the cold shores of Banff) straight into a Halloween bash not for the faint of heart. Welcome back Shirl, you were sorely missed here. And to Patti Fink, airport hostess extroidinaire, well done reporting. Shirt Gal, ElizaBURN...whats the 1-800 number for your taxi services when travelling through the fair city of Dallas?

Hello my fellow Melisters, Well I am not German, but I think I can corroborate on this one, hope you don't mind Rhondda?;-) For as far as I know, it was the German radio broadcasting. I was at that concert, (all the way from Holland ;-)))). I didn't notice it in the hall.( I mean John's guitar sounded very GOOD, we were standing at his side in front of the stage). A friend of mine who lives near the German border, taped it first from the radio, and it was on that as well, that "strange noice". I hope the Germans who were there as well and are on this list can tell it, to confirm this( As I am not very technical or sowhat). I never noticed this on any other "live" bootleg of Melissa before, so I think that must be the REASON. Go now, Pat the Dutch. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Nov 1997 09:56:41 -0800 From: "Rhondda L.

I'm Medea Willebrands. I'm a dutch Melissa fan and I received the mailinglistdigest for the first time a couple of days ago. I've seen Melissa play several times last year, all over the world and also in Cologne, Germany. About the CD... No more secrets. . It was suppose to be live on the air but due to some technical problems it aired the next day. The technical problem was that they couldn't record John guitar the way they should. It sounds like it is out of key. It wasn't at the concert, but it is on the CD. I find it really annoying. There's a second boot out from this particular concert. It's the same taperecording.This cd is called "The witch queen of Cologne" From that same concerttour there are some other boots that are really interesting. for instance: Live in Ahoy (Rotterdam the Netherlands, februari 2nd.) Melissa loves to play in Holland for the audience's participation. You can hear it on this CD. (It's great, but an audience DAT recording) Another really good boot is : "Valentines day" It's taped in Berlin and has got an excellent sound.

Yes, they are one and the same, Sauza. I have them under both names, on tape and CD, and they are precisely the same. Both have two bonus tracks from the live 93 Chicago concert (separately available in full as the import "No Souvenir [sic]"). However, the double-CD import called "Bonsoir Montreal" has an additional two bonus tracks from the Chicago concert, and so is longer. So it's not just MLE's pre-DYN giggle that matches, m'dear ;) Frankly, the Montreal 94 concert is my favoUrite live boot...though the Chicago gig is right up there with it.

From the beginning there has been rumor and speculation as to when Melissa might stop by. I don't believe they know at the MEIN offices when she'll be stopping in. I'm sure her password works just like anyone else's, and she can access the room whenever she feels like it. The only way they'd be able to let us know, is if she let them know. Don't complain to Kurt and Enric! It's not their fault!

Anyone can get in the roon, no MEIN membership necessary. I like to believe that she has been in, even if just lurking, to check out the room. The room regulars are an ecclectic bunch, from all over, just like this list. Personally, I'm just glad that she's finally made an *official apperance* in the room. Even though I can't access the chat right now, it's nice to know they haven't been blowing smoke with their promises that she would be making appearences there. >so, does this mean that i'm gonna have to hang out in the chat room at 10:23 am every day? ;-)< well....could be!

LOL! >The only way they'd be able to let us know, is if she let them know. >Don't complain to Kurt and Enric! It's not their fault! They just wrote the >program, and I'm damn glad they did! :-) i realize that MEIN's hands are tied wrt what information they can officially release. after all, they have to answer to her. OTOH, MEIN is a service organization, which MLE hired to deal with the nitty, gritty everyday fanclub details that she doesn't have time for, including dealing with the public. sometimes what MEIN does makes people happy, and sometimes it doesn't. since we can't direct our complaints, which are every bit as valid as praise, btw, to MLE directly, we have to direct them somewhere, and i'm afraid that MEIN is naturally going to take the brunt of that criticism. i'm not grousing about missing out on the MEIN chat just for the sake of bitching. i am an avid fan, who is hungry for information about MLE, especially now that she's not touring and preparing for the janis movie. i admit that i demand a lot from MEIN - i want my information, and i want it now, darn it! you would think that it's not called the "melissa etheridge *information* network" just for the hell of it, right? however, it's becoming glaringly obvious to me that MEIN is not necessarily the first place to go for this info fix. >Personally, I respect her wishes. I could see how the room could >quickly become a madhouse if she informed ahead when she'd be in. well, i'm sure the room would go absolutely nuts if she made an official announced appearance. the 2nd chat looked much more crowded than the 1st one. however, i can't tell from the information that i have received from MEIN whether or not they will *ever* announce any future MLE appearance. does anyone know? or is she just going to continue to drop by unofficially? ========================= The Divine One, "Deyoung, Susan @ GNPMO" , wrote: >I am NOT a John Shanks fan but after listening to the Montreal boot >quite a bit lately, I do like his work on Royal Station 4/16.

I can see how people would like to be notified ahead of time, but look at it this way -- she's at home, with a baby and a partner and a bunch of critters; when she's not busy rehearsing for the movie and stuff, she probably doesn't want to have to stick to a minute-by-minute schedule, y'know? I think people would be ten times as upset if she announced an appearance and then showed up two hours late because the baby was crying. Seems like maybe the chatroom is just a fun thing for her to do now and then, and not a Big Deal like a concert or an interview that she has to be on time for. If she's just dropping in every now and then, sounds like maybe this is something she *enjoys*, not something her management is pushing her to do; and I think it's terrific that talking to her fans is something she enjoys enough to do on her own time, "off the clock" as it were. (Although maybe she just misses all the attention, now that she's not performing much! She can get online and everybody will get all excited that Melissa's actually talking to them... born performer that she is, I bet she misses the ego-boost of applause. I bet Bailey Jean doesn't give her a standing ovation every time she changes a poopy diaper. ) What if *you* had to announce it two days ahead of time when you planned to make a post to this list, and tell everybody what time you'd be posting? What a pain, eh? I know if I had to plan ahead for every time I wanted to hang out on a bbs or chatroom, I probably wouldn't bother most of the time. I think it's cool that she has a chance to be spontaneous about this so that it can be fun for her, and not a high-pressure thing.

I love this idea (as long as it doesn't mean digests become tooo congested!) I think it would be interesting for ppl to write what they thought a song meant when they first heard or before they saw Storytellers of had it explained to them. Good examples of these are Testify, Silent Legacy or The Boy Feels Strange. Another interesting one to go through would be It's For You (line by line interpretations), Don't You Need, and we never did get around to doing Resist justice (I was cleaning out my mail box the other day and I found a posting suggesting a discussion on this but it never really eventuated.) Of course there are so many others. I'm just glad Rhianon (sp? sorry:) has volunteered to be chief song picker (as long as she continues it:) as I wouldn't want to decide. The only other alternative is to go though each song on each album... but do we really want to sit here and decipher what Melissa was on about and have a big D+M over "you're spilling all the wine, leave it on the vine, I can't give you mine" (Opps apologies to YLS fans but I think someone else commented once on thoses lines and oh dear....) But I do think some of the slower songs off this album {Shriner's Park, ATWTH, NW2G, change, ICHBY etc} would be interesting to do, as Melissa did say she's "adopted a more narrative point of view" {wasn't it edgy or someone from this list who asked that very poignant question- sorry I wasn't subbed on then - just heard about the legend:-)} So does this start this Sunday? Do we get any warning to which song it will be in advance (b4 the discussion starts) so we can get our thinking caps on and sit down a *really* listen to the song. (Not that I don't have MLE in rotation 24hrs a day but how often does it just blend back into the back ground and you stop and think "Hey what was Melissa really trying to say there..." Obviously she is consciously trying to communicate a msg to her fans "One little piece of my soul , one little piece of my whole life, I give to you" She wants to share her experiences with us. Opps I'm getting into this already. Maybe I should wait til Sunday... BTW Rhonnda is the POMH rap MLE did a sendona the same as the Woodstock 94 one? *very cool* ;) Love Peace and Rock and Roll Joanna Who should be studying... but hey there's so much more to life (So much email so little time LOL) **************************************************************************** I've been a little wild Since I turned 17 Or... is it madness?

I was in the MEIN chat last night when SHE stopped by! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!( seems to be the standard reaction!) lol SHE didn't stay for long at all, maybe 5 to 7 minutes. I'm sure a log will be posted soon enough :) Bailey is cutting 3 more teeth, some of her band will be playing of the Joplin film, and MLE just couldn't keep up! lol I did notice a rather serious problem last night, though. For those of you who haven't been, the MEIN chat has a "whisper" mode. Now, the number of people in there quiclky jumped from 12 to over 20. Tough enuf for our dear Missy! lol How many of those were also sending her "whisper" messages ,I don't know, but I can only imagine her screen was flying! I sent a message to a room administrator in hopes that they may be able to block this feature for her. Will let everyone know what he says! >Anne Haines wrote: You know, personally I think it's cool that MLE has made appearances in the chat room at all -- even though I'm envious 'cause the only web access I have from home is via lynx (text-only), which makes most chatroom-type things difficult or impossible to use. I can see how people would like to be notified ahead of time, but look at it this way - -- she's at home, with a baby and a partner and a bunch of critters; when she's not busy rehearsing for the movie and stuff, she probably doesn't want to have to ten times as upset if she announced an appearance and then showed up two hours late because the baby was crying. Seems like maybe the chatroom is just a fun thing for her to do now and then, and not a Big Deal like a concert or an interview that she has to be on time for. If she's just dropping in every now and then, sounds like maybe this is something she *enjoys*, not something her management is pushing her to do; and I think it's terrific that talking to her fans is something she enjoys enough to do on her own time, "off the clock" as it were. (Although maybe she just misses all the attention, now that she's not performing much! She can get online and everybody will get all excited that Melissa's actually talking to them... born performer that she is, I bet she misses the ego-boost of applause. I bet Bailey Jean doesn't give her a standing ovation every time she changes a poopy diaper. ) What if *you* had to announce it two days ahead of time when you planned to make a post to this list, and tell everybody what time you'd be posting? What a pain, eh? I know if I had to plan ahead for every time I wanted to hang out on a bbs or chatroom, I probably wouldn't bother most of the time. I think it's cool that she has a chance to be spontaneous about this so that it can be fun for her, and not a high-pressure thing.< very well said Anne! :) It seemed that it is something she just enjoys doing. Bailey was sleeping, Julie was downstairs, and no good tv was on yet!

I was a bit stunned myself when I started reading some pretty harsh posts chastising her and MEIN for not announcing it in advance, but I think most people have settled into the neato idea that she might drop by any time! I loved that part in the second chat session where Enric tells her "If the chat is too chaotic I can have people speak in turns, Melissa"....and she replies, "Do you think they would?" Pretty kewl to think that she might put Bailey down for a nap and then casually fire up her computer and log in for a few minutes of chat with her fans I was in Best Buy the other night for some other stuff and stopped by to see what they had in stock for Melissa....and I noticed that they had the Red Album, YIA, and YLS at premium price ($14.99) while B&C and NE were non-sale priced at a mere $11.99. While I think it's great that folks can get some older Melissa for less, I still find it amazing that retailers somehow consider those to be "lesser" albums....*especially* B&C! Maybe it's just a stock issue or my area, but I've found that to be pretty consistent among the major retailers these days. Has anybody else seen retailers "classify" MLE's albums like that?

I couldn't get it downloaded, so here are just a couple of snippets: ------------------- Island Records founder Chris Blackwell, who helped the late Bob Marley rise from obscurity (sic) to reggae superstardom, was ousted from Polygram NV Thrusday after clashing with the Dutch giant that bought his label. Blackwell, who sold Island to Polygram eight years ago for $300 million, left due to a dispute with PolyGram president and chief executive officer Alain Levy, sources said. -------------------- For those of you who aren't familiar with Chris Blackwell, he was a major force behind the discovery of our Lady of Etheridge (although they do not mention her in this article). He was willing to sign her when other record companies turned her down. He gave her a second chance to record the first album, when the first effort was not up to the standards. He continued to support her and give her the opportunity to build a strong and loyal fan base (that's US!) when the album sales and hit singles just weren't there. The article says that Blackwell has been "credited with having a fierce dedication to artistic development." I think we should all be very thankful for that. I wonder how dedicated MLE will be to the Island label (and vice versa) now that he is gone? The article mentions that there is some speculation as to whether Island will remain independent under PolyGram, or be merged into another PolyGram label. Danny Goldberg is the new chairman of Mercury (another one of PolyGram's labels). He is credited with "hit acts as the young pop trio Hanson." Blackwell was responsible for Bob Marley, U2, and The Cranberries, in addition to Melissa. Let's hope that Island doesn't move under Goldberg's wing. I know some of you like Hanson, but think about the possible development of the group, longevity, contribution to music, quality of artistry...looks like Goldberg goes for easy one-hit wonders, where Blackwell had a more discerning eye. I just hope MLE continues to get the backing from Island in the future as she has in the past.

Besides we don't have as many out gay celebes as the >USA (question are there many in Europe?) I want to react to the last question (i included the rest for context). First of all, i would like to say that i believe that creating a Gay Channel wouldn't be such a good idea. In my opinion it is the duty of the media to finally integrate homosexuals instead of giving them their own little corner to play in. If i remember correctly, there was a group of people in Holland that wanted to do just that, creating a Gay Channel. It never saw the light of day, but i believe they were planning to do this. I don't know why this failed, it just didn't happen (any Dutch MEListers who knows about this?) In Holland we have a lot of gay celebreties and a lot of gay stuff on tv: talkshow hosts/hostesses, singers, writers... In one Dutch soap we had a lesbian couple, in another Dutch soap we had two men chasing each other thru the eps, we have a series that is about a gay couple owning a restaurant, there is a singer who also has his own talkshow and he often refers to himself being gay or issues that has something to do with that. We have gay singers who appear with their partners in shows, or give guidings thru their homes, singers who are very open about their personal life in magazines. A gay talkshow host who has a show at a catholic station... and many more. I think it just wasn't 'necessary', there is no need for a gay channel in Holland because you can find a lot of 'gay tv' in the regular programming! Just my thoughts on this :) Now something totally different: I have a 2CD set of Your Little Secret for trade. It's the 'limited edition' European version, the one with the bonus CD. If anyone is interested, please email me privately.

Well, I've heard this happen to other artists before, although I can't think of any off the top of my head right now, but sometimes when certain people at a label move on to another label, then the artists follow them over to the other label as well (of course, that soemtimes depends upon how close they are at the end of their contract, and so on).

The song of the week will be a weekly occurence. Every Sunday I will post a different Melissa song. Listers should post their different thoughts on the song. Examples might be: Is this one of Melissa's best or worst? Why? Does this song have special meaning to you? For what reason? How do you interpret the song? etc. You don't have to stay within these guidelines, feel free to post whatever you want about the song, staying within the list guidelines of course. If you don't wish to post, this is, of course, not a requirement. Next, remember, if one lister hates this song and you love it that does not make he/she a bad person.

It is a prime example of Melissa as a lyricist. Whew, ok, I said it.

I'm just returning from a fabulous week in Key West Fla. and caught up on my 77 emails :-O ! I'm back in Boston where the rain is falling and the wind is chilly- UGH! Anyway- I was very happy to hear that MLE made an appearance in the MEIN chat room! I certainly understand the feeling of frustration of those who missed her! But, I think it's great that she goes in whenever she feels like it on her "off" time! After all, she is a free individual first and our goddess second! I know she has made scheduled appearances on AOL in the past, and she may do the same on MEIN in the future, who knows! I don't think she should have to alert the press every time she feels like logging on though. That takes the fun out of it! I just wish I could get in! I'm on webTV so I don't have access :-( (all expressions of sympathy will be excepted ;-) ). I love the idea of the song interpretations! Can't wait! Well, that's it for now! Take it easy everyone!

I've been very busy lately so I haven't had a chance to check out the chat room - it's great that Melissa has found the time, with a new baby and all! I've been reflecting a lot lately about the last year. The cold wet weather has reminded me of last November when I was able to see Melissa in concert for the first time. I tried for weeks to win the radio contest, finally giving up the day before and going to buy tickets. I hadn't been to many concerts and I had never been around many gay people. The concert was so amazing and wonderful! In January my friend Tasha and I got on line so I could find out more about Melissa, not to mention also getting cable for VH1 :) Thank goodness Joyce also put out a book for me to read to try and satisfy my new obsession :) Through meeting all of you, on line and in person, I not only have been able to learn more about Melissa but also about being gay and accepting people for who they are. This last week I was able to come out to my sister and a gay co worker. I would never have been able to have come this far without Melissa as such a great role model and all the wonderful people on this list - Thank you! Keep it precious, Tigerlily (waving hi to Patti, Claudia & Janis and everyone) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Nov 1997 21:26:32 -0800 From: "Rhondda L.

Dappert" Subject: *etheridge* New Melissa fan I don't post very often but have enjoyed the list for a couple of years now. Just wanted to relate something that happened to me lately. I was sitting in my own chair in my own office, in front of my own computer when a coworker came by. She asked "who is that singing?" I said "it is Melissa Etheridge" and handed her the self-titled red CD. She examined it and began to read the lyrics to some of the songs. She asked "What is her best song?" Well, how do you answer that? I attempted my best ME commercial. I explained how she writes all of her own stuff and how her words can be so powerful and touching at the same time. My coworker was impressed but quickly informed me that she had just discovered Celene Dion (sp) and thought she was wonderful. My hopes of converting this white, straight, married, 50-year-old mother of two, into a Melissa fan were fading with her every word. Then, she asked "Can I borrow this?" I said sure and quickly gave it to her thinking she will bring it back tomorrow and she would never ask again. WEEEELLLL, she came in the next day with big wide eyes and said WOW! Is she powerful!! I love all of her songs! I told her that I had more CDs and I thought she was going to flip. She begged me to bring them in. The next day I brought another CD trying to give them to her in the order that Melissa released them. Then I mentioned that I had Melissa doing some covers of other people's songs. She wanted those, too. It has been about a month and she has devoured all of my CDs, videotapes, and Joyce Luck's book. Every morning she tells me something else that she has learned about Melissa. She said the cover of "Let's get it on" almost made her run off the road! I know this isn't worthy of a toaster-oven, but it tickles me to think this unlikely woman would become and undying Melissa fan. What is it about Melissa that sucks people in grabs their very soul?

I dont think mle is as good a piano player as she is guitar player but there's a kind of raw energy about her piano playing that just never ceases to impress me. I have recently come back to the Never Enough album and when you get past the obviously overblown publicity stills on the cover this album contains what I think are three of the most underrated Mle songs, TLG, DWS, and IFY (took me a while to get the hang of those acronyms:) The Letting Go has a special meaning for me right now because I'm in the process of going through something that requires me to let go of a long relationship that has seen me through some tough times... I have sat and listened to a live version I have of this over and over to try and come to terms with that. Fave line: "Piece by piece I take apart, this complicated heart..."

I love the piano and to hear her speak softly. When I first heard the song it was one that I wished I could be saying to someone at the time, I felt like I had lost love in the relationship I was in and just needed to go ahead and let go of it. I was scared that if I did I would be letting go of everything I had or thought that I had and would never find that feeling again (?does that make sense?). Anyway, I didn't...in fact I played the song one night as we were going out to dinner and it lead to break through conversation that was overdue. That has been awhile ago and all I can say now is that I am glad I didn't let go and now I feel it's true and can say it is MINE!!

Hi I just love the idea of song of the week. Hmmm...let's see, i love 'The Letting Go'. That song means a lot to me. I love when she palys the piano, she's so talented. TLG has such great lyrics and sometimes it practically makes me burst into tears, 'cause MLE sings it right from the heart, and sounds so sincere, and gives it her all (like always) The first time I heard it, i couldn't get it out of my head, but I didn't know the words so just the one part of the chorus kept playing back again and again in my head....I just HAD to buy 'Never Enough', and now that song is one of my favs. well, there's my story on 'The Letting Go'. Hope ya enjoyed it.

When I first heard the song it was one that I wished I could be saying to someone at the time, I felt like I had lost love in the relationship I was in and just needed to go ahead and let go of it. I was scared that if I did I would be letting go of everything I had or thought that I had and would never find that feeling again (?does that make sense?). Anyway, I didn't...in fact I played the song one night as we were going out to dinner and it lead to break through conversation that was overdue. That has been awhile ago and all I can say now is that I am glad I didn't let go and now I feel it's true and can say it is MINE!! That was my story of the song as for Melissa singing the song; she does it... "OH SO GOOD", with meaning, heart and I think she makes you feel the song! Well, this is the most I've ever posted (not bad for a lurker, eh...) just wanted to give my two cents cause I like the idea of a "Song of the Week". Hope to hear from the rest of you too!

What is it about Melissa that sucks people in grabs their very soul? >> If you think your friend is an unlikely Melissa fan, you should know me. I am a 66 year old woman who has been married to the same man for 42 years. I have kids older than most of you, and I think Melissa is the greatest entertainer I have ever heard or seen. My daughter was telling me just yesterday that she tried to get me to listen to her self-titled cd back in early "89, but I was so into New Age music that I wouldn't really listen. Then, right after YIA came out she talked me into buying that cd and I have been a fan ever since. That has led to my listening to more rock and alternative artists. But Melissa is still my all-time favorite. Once in a while, I still listen to a little New Age music. I think the thing about Melissa that grabs people's souls is that we have all gone through some of the emotions that she expresses in her songs, and if we just open our ears, hearts, and minds to them we just can't help but be a fan. Then there is the way she delivers those songs in such a strong passionate way that we know that she has been there and really felt those things of which she writes.

TLG is one of my favorites. I liked it enough when I first heard the album, but it became a favorite a year or so later. I'll try to make my explanation brief. My college roommate had a friend who she was very close with. She felt they were soulmates from the time they first met and they came very close to consummating their relationship several times but other circumstances always seem to prevent it and they remained platonic but very close. He ended up dating another girl and who felt threatened by his friendship w/my roommate so they didn't spend as much time together, but she talked to him fairly often and *knew* in her bones that they would end up together. About a year after graduation (1990) he was killed in a motorcycle accident. My roommate was devastated. She was inconsolable for a very long time. About a year later she met a guy she had known casually in college and became very close to him very fast. She said she was in love and wanted to marry him but she felt a termendous amount of guilt, like she was betraying her soulmate. She did get married but still thought about her lost love often and still felt guilty. She was confiding this to me one day after she was married a few years, saying she still couldn't shake this feeling of guilt and betrayal. The following week or so I happened to be listening to NE and the words to TLG came together for me and my friend's situation. I called her and told her to listen. Obviously hearing it once wouldn't immediately "fix" her situation, but a few months later she did tell me that it made her feel better bit by bit. She confided her feelings in her husband, who was very supportive, and slowly she was able to let go of her guilt without throwing away all her positive memories. And about a year later she named her son after him. Sounds sappy but it's true and it's the reason TLG ALWAYS makes me cry.

A few weeks later, my grandmother died, and in all of the mess, I broke up with my fiance`. So, to make myself feel a little better, I put on the radio and heard TLG. I was bawlling! I knew I had to let go of both of them, and I listened to the song a few hundred times that night, and by the end of my crying, the letting go had finally taken place.

I have to agree with Medea, it brings back memories of Melissa's concert back in 1992 in Rotterdam Ahoy, Holland. The final song was TLG, Melissa all alone with that BIG piano. The concert was very Emotional, (too a lot of fans I think, speak for myself :-) and too Melissa as well) Touched me and that song gives me Goose-bumps ever since.

This is a beautiful song and I, too, love to hear Melissa performing the few songs she does accompanied by piano. Unfortunately this is a difficult song for me to listen to right now as I am currently trying to reach a point of letting go with respect to a cherished, long-term relationship that appears to have come to an end. Obviously my choice of words, "trying", "appears", reveals I'm having trouble letting go. It's never easy, is it? But I listen to this song and remember that I have been there once before and I did get through. I can recall listening to this song back then, when I had finally let go of that earlier love, and the lyrics were comforting and made me feel at peace knowing that the letting go finally had taken place. So listening to it now, I feel sad, I don't want to let go of my love, I sometimes don't want to hear the words and I fast forward through it, but when I do listen, it reminds me that I can get through it all and will find peace again.

This song has been a great strength to me in recent times, and Melissa can express the thought and emotions in ways that inspire us all. The rawness of only the voice and the piano really drives hope the feeling in this song. It is surely one of Melissa's best.

I think everyone has had a moment in their life when they've had to let go. It's not usually an easy thing to do (although at times there is celebration!) ;), but having a way to express your feelings, even thru singing along with Melissa, is always healthy. Recently this song has taken on a whole new meaning for me. Someone that I've come to know uses FTLG as her sig...For The Letting Go. This special woman has a heart of gold, and a soul bright enough to light the darkest night. If not for MLE, I would never have come to know her. If not for MLE, she would not be the woman she is today. If not for TLG, she would still be lost in a world of pain.

I have taped TWIM and TLG one after one anther and I noticed that they are very similar - I feel that perhaps since Joan Armatrading one of her favourite artists she's attempted to mimic her style in this song. Being a bit of a song writer ppl say they can hear Melissa's influence in my songs so this is not surprising. BTW Does MLE do any other piano songs (covers or otherwise - these are the only two I've ever heard of) I wish she'd do more. Also I only recently heard one of JA's songs - - by chance it was Love and Affection (that MLE and Co did on Duets) and I feel the MLE's version sounds better (ok so manybe I'm a little biased - -Has anyone heard any of JA's other songs - excuse my ignorance, she's probably b4 my time) For the Info of any Aussies (I don't know if it's for sale anywhere else) Love and Affection is on the Woman to Woman Cd put out by Polygram - it doesn't have Our Lady of Etheridge on it but many other great female artists including Edie Brickell -Thanks to everyone who answered my question about "What I am":) Lyrically the theme of TLG is quite different to MLE's usual "I want you and I'm not going to get up until I have you and If I can't have you then no-one else can either" (hey some of those quote can actually be found in her songs!) It 's a very healing song, where you reach that point of understanding. It reminds me of a poem a friend sent me in reaction to a piece I'd written called "Being Alive" (I might include that at the end but I think I've already rambled too much...) This is the poem she sent me... COMES THE DAWN After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean learning. And company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts And presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats, with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build your roads on todays, because tomorrows' grounds too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in midflight. After ahile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much... So, plant you own garden, and decorate you own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong. And you really do have worth. And you learn... With every goodbye you learn. ANON I hope this managed to touch you MEListers the way it touched me -after hearing all these Letting Go stories some of you sound like you need it. Although the send didn't know it this poem came into my life when my "future was falling down in midflight". It helped me through a lot of that as did TLG but I didn't hear it till some time later because I didn't have a complete version of NE -just a mixed tape a friend had made. What the poem was actally send in responce to was (this is actally something I wrote in an Essay - you never know when inspiration will strike!) "This is what *Being Alive* is all about - having the *courage* to *hurt*, to do things that little bit *differently*, to be *afraid* but still to *stand up* anf *face it*. And know that *some days* it will be *bad*, *samedays* it will be *really ugly* But *somedays* you'll feel like you're *on*top*of*the*world*, like you're really *alive*, and it's then that you're going to *realise* that all this time you have been...." -JLD (FYI - Being Alive is captialised cos in the essay it refered to the song by Sondheim in the musical "Company") Well I've managed to get of track of the SOTW and waffel on as per usual.

I have recently rediscovered NE and play it a lot with TLG on repeat a couple of times. The song also showcases her voice so well. I like the R&R songs, but I find myself returning to the softer songs, such as TLG, a lot. pk PS: Her piano playing is also one of the reasons I like The Weakness in Me so much. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #272 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #273 Date: November 14, 1997 4:09 AM etheridge-digest Friday, November 14 1997 Volume 01 : Number 273 *etheridge* now me...

Well, I guess I do have a story about the SOTW. It seems like I have a story about all of her songs :) I had just moved back home after living on my own, surrounded by buddies for over a year. Very depressed. I drove back to visit all the time, just about every weekend. Although it was always fun, they were all still together and I wasn't really a part of it anymore. That was during the same time that I listened to Melissa 24/7. I heard TLG on the way up there one weekend and it made me cry. I realized that I would have to let go a little so I could get on with my own life. That was '93, I don't keep in touch with any of them anymore. Isn't it amazing how life changes?

I was on this list years ago and have been lurking again for a few months. I finally got around to buying a copy of Joyce Luck's book...mainly because a friend of mine told me I was mentioned in it. Well...she was right. There on page 124 Joyce describes a brief encounter MLE had with a fan named Lauren following a concert in Atlanta, concerning the fact that ME wasn't singing "It's For You" in concert. Although Joyce spelled my name wrong...that *was* me! The autograph line forms to the left...;-)! BTW, a few days before the Atlanta concert I had seen ME in my own hometown of Raleigh, NC., where I had taken my then 12 year old daughter, Megan. We waited in line to see Melissa and when it was Megan's turn she stepped right up and said, "Melissa, can I have a hug?" ME seemed a little startled but shrugged and said, "Well, you're under 21," and gave Megan that hug. I was, and am, supremely jealous! Ah the fantasies that encounter has spawned!

But I went back and listened to the song last night (AFTER watching Ellen and Xena, of course) and it made me think about this girl I really liked in high school. But I never had the guts to ask her out or anything cause I always thought she couldn't be gay (even though she never seemed to have a boyfriend and was always hanging out with a girl all the time--but a different one every three months or so). Anyway, at graduation, I saw her, and I gave her a lei and she gave me a rose and we talked for a little while, and then she hugged me and told me she loved me. I was a little shocked, and I just said that I loved her too and I thought, oh yeah, great time to be sharing feelings now, you idiot, it's graduation and you're never going to see her again. And I was right, I never did see her again (sigh) and now I guess, even though I never had a real relationship with her, I feel this song is pretty appropriate for me right now. (Hey, I did have a crush on her for three years--I still do). Now if you excuse me, I have to go mourn some more.

Anderson is Etheridge's cousin -- their mothers are sisters -- and Brantley lived down the street. Missy, as Etheridge was known then, lived in Kansas and would visit on holidays and summer trips. The guys didn't mind Missy's sister, Jenny, hanging around, but they didn't want her. "Missy would try to tag along, but being much younger and somewhat of a pest, we would try to lose her quick," Brantley says. "She wanted to go everywhere we did," Anderson says. "She was a little tag-along." He adds, through, "Even when I say she was a pest, I still loved her to death. She was a doll ... every parent's dream come true." But those weren't qualities the guys were looking for. Anderson teased Missy mercilessly. "Big old tears would well up in her eyes," he says. "I was bad about that." Etheridge, whose mother now lives in Buena Vista, just outside Camden, often played guitar at holiday gatherings. "It was just so pleasant," Anderson says. "One thing stands out, " Brantley says. "She was maybe 5 or 6 and dragged a guitar around even back then. I never put Missy and Melissa together until a few years ago at a class reunion [when] Donnie enlightened me to who she was." Even Anderson is still reeling from Etheridge's success. "It's a trip, man, it really is," he says. But her talent isn't surprising to him. Back in the late 80's when Anderson's sister, Andrea, got married, Etheridge sang at her rehearsal dinner at DeGray Lake. Anderson's mother, Martha, requested the Janis Joplin tune "Me and Bobby McGee." "I was floored," says Anderson, who just learned his cousin will star as Joplin in a new movie. "I said, 'My God, that's good. You sound just like Janis.' "I can't think of anyone who could do it as well as Missy could," he says. "She's got that soulful voice." Even if she is a bit of a pest.

I haven't checked the site in a few days so I don't know if they've added more transcripts or if it's still just the first two appearances.

I am really sad because I can't listen to this song any more, I listened to it so much it skips now....but any way. I know you will probably all think I am weird but I conect this song with the horse I had when I was young. I never was a popular one in school and didn't have many friends....but I didn't need them, because I had my horse Chant.

So while you may think it's really cool to grab a verse of your >favorite song and post it on your site, the record company--and its >lawyers--could have a different opinion.) Yes, it means exactly what your first interpretation says. Reproducing any copyrighted song lyrics, copyrighted sound recordings, scans of copyrighted photographs from albums or magazines, infamous use of the 'right click' to save cool photos & text from other websites without permission *is* illegal - - and subject to prosecution, at the option of the copyright holder - or their record company or publisher (which is more likely). Plus, there's a second issue - mechanical / reproduction royalties! Technically, even authorized mechanical reproduction of copyrighted works owes a fee for each play of that work. Both the BMI and ASCAP websites have sections which address reproduction of sound on the web - and their own 'licensing' arrangements. And one (I forget which) points out that even the commercial sites which include 30 second clips from albums technically owes fees / licensing. Thus far, there hasn't been a *lot* of legal action taken against personal sites - although in music, as far as I've read, it tends to be more against personal sites which start small but grow into large resources. One site which used to house guitar tabs for many artists (Adam's guitar chords; also Online Guitar Archive has had problems) closed down because of action by (I forget - EMI??) ... after all, to reproduce even the chords I transcribe as I watch a concert requires me to also reproduce the lyrics of the song ... which transgresses those copyright lines. Another site (Digital Tradition) which included lyrics to songs that were believed to be in the public domain had to search out another hosting site because some contributed songs/lyrics were *not* public domain, and again representatives of the copyright holders threatened action. In the case of unofficial, unauthorized "fan sites" for artists (musical & other), in some cases they've been requested, by the artist's label/publisher/representative, to shut down - and no legal action is taken. I do suspect, tho, that all this hype about 'the web' and 'marketing power of the web' etc. is going to "get to" corporate management and their minions - so that corporations are going to think of their corporate assets in terms of the web and (select word: panic / overreact / get tough / begin to take appropriate action...) and pay more attention to personal sites than they have in the past. At the same time, personal software is making it easier & easier for people to put up webpages with minimal technical knowledge - and minimal exposure to /research into the basics of "publication" issues. No, not a lawyer - or rep. for any publisher or record label (tho I do the website for a NY indie label). Just too ingrained from a past life of working in print media ... so I'm always keeping my ears/eyes open to legal ramifications. ... On my personal site, even though I only use photos I've [legally] taken in concert - theoretically I need releases from the subjects - and would have to pull them if asked by the artist reps! And on the sites I host for independent musicians, as we add sound samples, I need from them release letters in which they give up royalty rights for the sound reproduction ... starts to make all this web-spinning not fun anymore - more like a "day job" than a hobby! ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #274 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #275 Date: November 16, 1997 3:44 AM etheridge-digest Sunday, November 16 1997 Volume 01 : Number 275 *etheridge* Re: Melissa or Indigo Girl songs on web pages [pattif@iadfw.n] *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #273 [Chris2Wood@aol.com] Re: *etheridge* Re: Melissa or Indigo Girl songs on web pages [thack22@li] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 15 Nov 97 12:18:15 -0600 (CST) From: pattif@iadfw.net (Patti Fink) Subject: *etheridge* Re: Melissa or Indigo Girl songs on web pages Carolyn Andre wrote: [snip] >Thus far, there hasn't been a *lot* of legal action taken against personal >sites - although in music, as far as I've read, it tends to be more against >personal sites which start small but grow into large resources. [snip] Thanks for a very interesting post, Carolyn! While every icon (person, content, or GUI button) is subject to copyright law infringement unless created from scratch by the web author, I think that the reality of it all is a matter of balancing practicality for the copyright owners. Just as most major software developers -- including Microsoft -- are keenly interested in those who pirate their products, websites offer a parallel of balance. It becomes an issue of commercial profit, and most software companies pivot their efforts and limited resources on those who pirate for financial profit, rather than the individual end-user. Of most interest are those OEM companies who reproduce the products, shrink-wrap them, and sell them with forged certifcates. And too, companies who buy one copy of, say, Office 95 and load it on 300 desktops are of FAR more interest to anti-piracy programs than the middle manager who takes the CD home one night after work and loads it on her home computer. The home user who, say, "borrows" the CD from a friend may in fact be one of those pirating end-users that the big players like...because they may turn around and ask/push their employer to purchase the same software title for use at work. Early on, Apple set up DEEP discounts for their products in school systems, and WordPerfect GAVE away TONS of copies of its software to universities worldwide, on the premise that students are users who leave academia and go into the business world wanting to use a familiar tool in the workplace. Such end-users are "bred" to be word-of-mouth loyalists, not unlike users of the FREE ("Take it! Use it!") MS Internet Explorer (currently trying to get market share from the "Hell no, it's not free anymore" Netscape). Fans who create enthusiastic websites devoted to musical artists (or film artists, etc.) are most often an artist's best marketers, and record labels know well the value of this expense-free marketing that they could never accomplish on their own. I'm just guessing now, but I really don't think record labels and other copyright holders are going to crack down on personal websites that sing the praises of an artist, even though the site may have copyrighted pictures of the album covers, etc. They'd be cutting off valuable GENUINE "advertising" for the artist while also coming across as "mean" and "greedy." However, if the website started selling something related to the artist....or somehow crossed the line into reaping personal financial gain from the website (like even accepting advertiser dollars on the website), a copyright owner *might* come after them. Otherwise, I think they welcome the publicity. Not unlike the idea of bootleg recordings, to some degree....artists often *encourage* it, as it only increases their market value when they release a new album or tour in concert....it just generates and feeds fans of their product. On the flip side, I think most record labels would be alarmed if suddenly there were NO personal websites devoted to their artists because folks were too afraid to use something that has a copyright attached to it. The onus for touting their artists would be left to themselves....and I doubt they'd be very pleased with that turn of events The content and quality...and independence....of a fan's endorsement of an artist cannot truly be "officially" reproduced by a record label. I think they enjoy the free almost-"testimonial" marketing on a worldwide medium without the budget expenditure of creating it and maintaining it all...so in most cases of tasteful pages, the record labels gain far more commercial value than the actual royalty value of the photo, sound file, etc (or the legal fees to chase down a royalty). When that balance changes dramatically, they change their tune. It's all just finding a balance of commercial profit.... Just my $0.02...

I know how I would feel if I ever lost Pauline, which I also consider my Soulmate. Your Soulmate to me is far and in between to find. I really do believe in my heart and soul that everyone has one, they just have not met them yet. I also believe there are different levels of Love or being in Love. I really feel like you meet your Soulmate once. What I am trying to say Dianne is if I ever lost My Pauline, I could not love anyone else the way I did her. It would not be the same. So I understand what your dear friend went through, but will never understand fully, because I have not lost my Soulmate. I know in my heart, I could probably love someone else again, but will never Love anyone the way I Love Pauline. This is why I say there are different Levels of Love. It was good that she told her husband her feelings, that really took courage. Thank God he was an understanding man, that could help her through such a trying time. I am also happy that you told your friend to listen to TLG song played by Melissa on Piano. It is a truly spiritual song and a great choice on your part to help your dear friend in mourning. Wow Our Melissa has done it again. Through her music and lyrics, Melissa songs helps heal our souls. If I lost a Soulmate or any one in my family I LOVE so Dearly, TLG would be my choice. I would listen to it over and over again. Tell your friend for me, I am happy that she was able to Heal, I really do not think I could have, if it happened to ME. :o( I would feel like part of My Soul was Missing. I know she will always keep that part of her Life with her and In her heart. I am sure he is tucked away in a very special place.

I would wholeheartedly agree with Patti on this one. Capitol Records, for instance, goes to great lengths to publicize and provide links to fan sites for their artists off of their "official" artist page. Last glance at the Capitol Duran Duran page found links to over 30 fan sites, many of which have MIDIs, WAVs, lyrics and other items which legally may not be quite kosher. That does mean, however, that fans should simply go hog wild about how they put together a site, particularly if they are going to load it to the brim with copyrighted materials. Many sites I've seen are doing a little preventive butt-covering with a nicely worded disclaimer somewhere on the front page, advising holders of the copyrights of any material found therein that simply notification of violation will result in immediate removal of said material, yada yada. Legally, it's the equivalent of holding up a paper plate to stop a bullet, but if you're friendly about things, and aren't reaping untold millions from your site, its doubtful that anyone is going to pull the plug on you. However, if they do and you need legal representation. . . um, call your local Bar Association. (Not stepping into THAT snare tonight!)

The bear seems to have lost something in the woods..but everyone in the search party is pretty sure she'll find it again. One thing that might help is if anyone has an extra pot of honey they might consider leaving at her doorstep...especially if it's mixed with a little extra kindness. mailto: vaughn@oumail1.email.ohiou.edu I heard a whisper in the wind that wishes you all "Much Warmth".

MEIN updated their web page today - it's pretty snazzy. although some of you may not appreciate the frames, i actually think they did a pretty good job (notice i'm complimenting MEIN ;-) ). check it out at http://fanasylum.com/melissa/ also, i checked out their "box office" section, and discovered MEIN's latest change in their ticket buying policy. some of you may recall how the last MEIN email newsletter mentioned how members' seniority would be taken into account when purchasing tickets. here's what the pertinent blurb stated from the "box office" page: >Seat Assignment >The box office is given a list of all M.E.I.N. members who have >purchased tickets to the show. They randomly select names from the >list to fill the fan club seats that are held in the first two rows in our >hold. All other seating is assigned by the Seniority System (members >who have been in M.E.I.N. the longest receive the closest seats). The >time you call us or pick up your tickets from the box office the night of >the show has no bearing on where your seats are located. so, as you can see, it's still a partially random process for the 1st 2 rows of MEIN's block of tickets (please note that this doesn't necessarily mean that MEIN holds the 1st two rows of the venue - they might, but they might not). the rest of their block is filled according to members' seniority. for reserved seated shows, MEIN's block of tickets will be "generally within the first third of the venue (under normal conditions)". anyone wanna take a gander at what they mean by "under normal conditions"? ;-) oooh, gotta go..."shaft" just came on the radio...right on...:-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #277 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #278 Date: November 19, 1997 4:03 AM etheridge-digest Wednesday, November 19 1997 Volume 01 : Number 278 Re: *etheridge* Roxy Boot [Kelly McGregor ] Re: *etheridge* Where's Pooh - NMEC [Kelly McGregor ] Re: *etheridge* "Our Little Secret" [Kelly McGregor ] *etheridge* Re: BMSW [Redsocks ] *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #277 [Chris2Wood@aol.com] *etheridge* (fwd) ["Glenna Johnson" ] *etheridge* DUCK!

I wanted her so badly, but could not have her at that time. When Melissa says in her song, Baby got my Heart and Baby got My Mind and tonight the Sweet Devil got my Soul. This is just the way I felt about her. I knew she was with someone else, but she had my mind and soul and never knew it. The sweet Devil had my Soul, because I wanted something that I could not have at the time. It was really driving me crazy, just see her every day in my presence and because I knew I could not touch her or hold her. What a desire I had to do so. I needed something to put out the fire and the desire of what I was feeling for her. To this day the Fire is still burning for my Sweet Love Pauline. Pauline will always be that burning desire for me. This is what I think and feel when I hear BMSW. Melissa Etheridge baby you really do great things for my love life with My Sweet Pauline. }:-> Chris2Wood ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 11:23:16 -0800 From: "Glenna Johnson" Subject: *etheridge* (fwd) >From: "Hike High" >Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 10:49:39 PST > > I've been quietly reading the list for a few months now and things >seem to be quieting down.

I will probably have to respond to all of them, since so much of this woman's music has meaning to me. First though, no-one seems to have answered the newbie's questions! ;) >Kelly McGregor asked: "So pardon me, but what is a boot? What is a Roxy?" - -first of all kelly, welcome to the list :) I think you'll find most of the folks around here pretty nice. make sure you take the time to check out the list guidelines.....addy please jen? ;) ok, a "boot" is an unauthorized recording of a , usually, live performance. the particular "boot" Joyce is talking about was recorded at the Roxy Theatre in LA. right Joyce? hope this info. has helped kelly also asked: >I have seen now two posts that talk about Pooh. Is there a character named Pooh here? I thing that's great! Piglet is my favorite though. Are there other characters on this board? If there is no Piglet, I can be Piglet!?< yes kelly, this list is blessed with the presence of a snuggly and wise bear namned POOH :) she drops in periodically to remind of of all the wonderful things we tend to overlook in life. at this moment she is being missed because it has been AT LEAST a week since she's posted. POOH....need some of that warmth dear :)!!! >--What everlasting impression do you think Melissa Etheridge has made on society through her social actions as well as her music?<< I don't know who asked this question.....but woah! "everlasting" is quite a word! lol Obviously her actions and music are not known by everyone, but for those of us who live and breathe MLE, they are certainly "everlasting". Her political, social and humanitarian work sets an example for us all to follow. Her voice in such causes as aids, homelessness, womyn's issues,and gay/lesbian issues have done much to enlighten many. Her music is, of course, a whole different beast! So much is raw emotion. Expressing for many thoughts and feelings they could not otherwise express. For that I can only give "everlasting" thanks :) OK...the reason for this post.....SOTW: Bring Me Some Water I first heard this song in a womyn's bar. I was shooting pool and trying not to notice that the woman I had been seeing on the arm of another. (yeah, right!) It was my shot when this song came on, and the person I was playing got a little irritated. Why? you ask??? Because she had to wait for me to come back from the juke! I had to know who was singing that song! The next afternoon I got the cd. By the end of the week I also had B&C, and it wasn't long after that NE came out. At the time I knew little about MLE, but I was addicted. The rest, as they say, is "herstory" :) peace, chefdeb ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 19:54:03 -0800 From: Maurene Poppers Subject: *etheridge* RE:SOTW Hey all!!

BMSW is lethal. I nearly got run down by a truck listening to it! I've owned the "NTG/BMSW feat Joan Osborne" tape for two months now, and it rocks harder than anything I've ever heard from either before (Christmas in August!). It means more to me since I bought it on holiday in Florida. Melissa sings straight from her heart, with only the shortest of pit-stops in her head. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think "The Late September Dogs" is better than BMSW. It grabs hold and shakes me so hard... At times it's like looking in a mirror, and I remember those times I felt so lost and cold. I have to listen to TLSD every day to remind me why I like it so much, and I think it's the chorus that gets to me most. Maybe it's because I like the rain. I only like singers who print their lyrics on the inside cover (or should have done in the case of Joan Osborne). Whenever Melissa is less eloquent, it's where she sings closer to her heart. **Handmade In The UK** by Jaime Allan cyberwomble@hotmail.com ~ Never wrestle with a pig.

SOTW Hey all, I have once again emerged from an exam-induced coma--apparently only to slip into the virtual world. :) Oh, well, I like it here. First, for the SOTW. (By the way, I spent several minutes trying to figure out which song this was before I finally got it. Duh. :)) I have no story or testimony about cheating lovers, people I wish were lovers, or the like. Just like the song. I love the tension-building off-the-beat guitar puncuations that *explode* into the chorus. Also, how can anyone not like such a personification as the "slap and sting of the foul night air?" Other lines I like: "feel the steel of the red-hot truth" and the much-loved "I need some insanity, of that temporary kind." The only thing I don't like about this song is that I have a hard time taking it seriously now, after hearing Ellen DeGeneres poke fun at the title. ("Somebody bring me something, I'm really thirsty," etc.) Second, I must admit to a ME relevation. Although I knew that she had written IFY for her audience, the power of it never hit me until I listened to my new boot of the Chicago '92 concert (thanks Jen!). Wow. I suffered from a guilt complex for the rest of the day. Was anyone here at that concert? Please email me and tell me what it was like! Third, and kinda silly. I have been wondering if ME would ever consider doing a theme album (kinda like kd lang's last one). I have imagined a series of 3 songs for a tribute to sweets album. (Oh, c'mon, don't tell me that chocolate hasn't helped just as many of you get over a past love as ME's songs themselves!) Anyway, she could do covers of "Brown Sugar" (Rolling Stones), "Pour Some Sugar on Me (or ME)" (was this AC/DC?), "Sugar, Sugar" (by whatever 60's group that was), and that song by The Guess Who that goes "no sugar tonight in my coffee, no sugar tonight in my tea." I'd love to hear her do covers of these, so why not just make a whole album? Anyone else have any ideas? See ya. Sharon ps--Does anyone know where Joan Osbourne has been? Is she ever going to put out another CD? ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 14:03:21 +0100 From: Jill Subject: Re: *etheridge* ME musings, inc.

(All typos mine) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'The Insider' by Mitchell Fink 'Piece of My Heart', a long-awaited film biography of the late Janis Joplin, is going to keep people waiting a little bit longer. Paramount's deal with the movie's star, singer Melissa Etheridge, called for her romanic partner, filmaker Julie Cypher, to serve as a producer and write the screenplay. That was fine until Cypher turned in her script, which I hear was not up to snuff. Three other writers were subsequently brought in to rewrite it. As a result the production, which was to have begun in January, has been pushed back to mid-February. Neither Etheridge nor Cypher would comment... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Was I stoned, or did MLE say in her brief MEIN chat that filming would start in January? We knew that there had been problems with JC and the script...but have there been more developments in the past couple of weeks? I know that most movies go through several re-writes in the course of editing and production, but it seems as though this is dragging out too long. Could be that this is one of only a few movies that I've ever followed pre-filming, but I'm about ready to scream, "shit or get off the pot!" I've made my opinion of JC's talent known here before, and if the script she wrote for the JJ biopic was anywhere near the quality of 'Teresa's Tatoo', then it's no wonder no one wants to film it and the originally slated director left the project. Sounds to me as though it's an 'all or nothing' deal on either the part of MLE or JC (or both) and I'm beginning to feel a bit uneasy about the quality of the outcome (if there ever is one) of the pro- ject. I honestly feel that MLE has a good chance of pulling off the on-screen portrayal of JJ if she has some decent writing and direction...but, IMO, she ain't gonna get it from JC. jen--who met the cutest little 12 week old black pug puppy yesterday and who also has decided that she likes hedge hogs... - ---- Jenniffer Smith | 03jesmith@bsuvc.bsu.edu | RIP, MICHAEL HUTCHENCE Ball State University | Muncie IN | My opinions bear no resemblance whatsoever to those of my employer ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 19:52:04 +0000 From: "Amy Partrick" Subject: *etheridge* Covers & NMEC - Anyone own a KIA?

This truth is a one of time and patience and surrounding love. It has been a hell of a month for this bear. I have been through the fire and know its many names. I have felt what predjudice and hate can do first hand for I have seen its ugly head reared. This bear who walked on clouds and spent hours contented by the grace of children knows what pain is. I have been written out of a lifelong will because of allegations of being gay. I have buried an aunt who loved me so yet never knew me. I have seen the eyes of greed and its belly unfullfilled and walked away not giving in to its hatred. But the pain that cut me deepest was the pain of losing a child of fur who chose me. One who stood by me lovingly on my worst days and never ridiculed. One who thought of me hourly until the gravel in the drive gave a signal of mom being home. One who searched the carpet over to find his favourite treasure to give to me at the opening of the door. One who lay his head on my lap when in sadness I did cry and through those brown eyes filled with love taught me compassion. One who never let me sleep in or be late for work for he was the best alarm clock one could have and it was he whom I swore I went off to work for just so I could buy doggie treats. All those nights staring out the window keeping watch over me so I no harm would come to me. I cannot count the sleep you lost. My friend and my loyal companion left my side only when I looked into his eyes in the early morning and said it is okay to go I will be okay. Thank you for your love my friend, my Levi dobberpuppy. You gave me 12 years of undivided, pure and unselfish love and I am eternally grateful. This precious pain you gave my heart that brings me to tears at the mention of your name or the tenderness of a gentle hello has made me a better and more feeling person. Your grace and companionship has made me whole and the tender bear I am. You loved me with all my faults just the same and you showed me grace in dying that I know I shall possess. In the shadows of the sweetness of the honeysuckle bush lies a friend and in his touching of this life I know the true meaning of love. So Melisters love your friends, your loyal friends whose names you know by heart. In my sorrow comes forth a better person more in touch with this earth and the travelers upon it both human and others whom we say are not but in this mourning and in this loss comes forth a sensitivity that is precious and humbles me so at the closing of the day. Thank you all for your love and support I am grateful beyond words. I am always around in the fields and streams, in the woods and blue skies above. In your hearts you all have a bit of me in you. The child who longs to search the earth for precious things and treasures not to be sold. The child who sees brilliance in the stars above and bows down to mother earth and her many blessings. Hence, I take a bow now for this list and the love gathered therein. You are all such a gift. Much Warmth, pooh ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 23:37:36 -0500 (EST) From: SisSookie@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #283 Hey everyone.. just popping out of "lurk" mode for a moment Jennifer wrote: >I know that most movies go through several re-writes in the course >of editing and production, but it seems as though this is dragging >out too long.

I have a thought: Perhaps the dragging of feet is due to the ability of Melissa to hold her own on the big screen. What if producers and directors were waiting to see of all the acting lessons would polish our gem? While Melissa is a shining star with warm karma to us, (her loyal following) perhaps "the general public" would recieve her with less than glowing praise.

He was a cocker spaniel, 14 years old. Casey. I always promised him that I'd be with him when he had to "go to sleep". But I'm here, in Spain. And it got to be too late. So, I made my parents promise that they would go with him, and they buried out where there were other animals so he would have friends. I've never felt such a raw pain. It felt like I would never stop crying, and there was no consolation available. I made myself go to sleep way early on the day that I knew it would happen because I knew that I wouldn't be able to stand knowing what was going on. And all I could think of was that he'd be sad that I wasn't there, and that he'd think I didn't love him. I once read that human beings can have a deeper love for their pets because it's so pure. No cheating, lying, misunderstandings. I miss Casey a lot. :( Home won't be the same without him when I go back. Hang in there Pooh.

My heart still breaks when I think of him because he trusted me completely, and he died of a disease he could have been vaccinated against. I also tried to save a one-day-old kitten and failed. Don't let anyone tell you that losing a pet is less than losing a person. The pain is greater because they trust us so much. My heart is with you in your time of grief. J. I have gone to get myself. If I return before I get back, hold me here, because it's important I see myself when I get back before I get confused. http://www.quill.net/ http://www.iherald.com/ ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 08:23:22 -0800 From: "Glenna Johnson" Subject: *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V1 #284 (fwd) [Note from list owner: please make sure that you send posts to the posting address, not the list owner address.] From: Sabine Michael To: etheridge-digest Date: November 26, 1997 1:16 AM Subject: Re: etheridge-digest V1 #284 >Morning Listters!! > >I'm back!! >No more Brazilian members, now another German one! > >Missed all of you guys, though I'm not the big writer over here. > >POOH, loved reading your words again... sometimes I can make big use of >them. > >Kitty... well, you know. > >Mary (Canada) ...

After Joyce finally got things settled with her shirt dealer, my system went down hard, and no one knew how to get it up again... then my server and I couldn't get my email working, but everything seems to be fine now! To add to this, Canada is in the middle of a nation-wide postal strike and the two people involved with this project live in Canada.... I spoke with Joyce the "original bowling shirt girl" and she says everything's ready if it's fine with me. I'm ready!!!!!!!! Realistically, I cannot say that these shirts will be ready in time for Christmas. I say they won't. ****I need to know if we still have interest even if they can't be delivered in time**** **NOTE: Tomorrow night I will post the entire bowling shirt story (for the newbies), including the prices. I lost my Melister email address database when I went down, so to those of you who were writing to me socially, I no longer have your addresses.

I have been a member for about a week now and I jsut figured out what addy to write to. Anyways first I would like to say to Pooh that I am sorry to hear about her loss. PPl wonder why we get all worked up for a death of a pet, well I've learned how to love and trust again through my two dogs. The one thing I CAN rely on is the unconditional love of my two dogs-Minnie and Daisie. I don't know what I would do without them, but I guess that day will eventually come knocking on my front door also. Levi will always be a part of you and yoou will be a part of him. Take care pooh! Now, yes I am a hudge Melissa fan(who isn't on the list), and I am really happy to be part of the list. I am a young singer, song writer, composer, and guitarist who is determined to become a TRUE musician/performer. Music is my life, but I really don't seem to be getting any further from where I am, so if anyone is interested in knowing more, just let me know :) For the song of the week....BMSW will always be the no.1 song of all times. I remember listening to that song and wondering 'WOW!'. Never heard anything like it before even Heart couldn't make me feel the way ME did.It was like she fulfilled an emptyness that was lingering inside of me and thats when I started on my music carreer. ME has benn the biggest inspiration since. A bit of news. Don't know how many of you know who Terri Clark is, but after writing to her manager, he asked if we could meat so he could listen to my music. We me t in Ottawa and I got to spend the day with Terri and her manager. While we were chatting in her tour bus, she noticed a clipping of ME taped to my music book and asked if I was a fan. From then on all we spoke about was Melissa. Terri told me that she got the chance to sing on stage with Melissa, and that she was a really great person. Terri said that while she is on the road all she listens to is Melissa, but she's not too keen on the Never Enough album. Anyways Terri is a great person and I am more than sure that Melissa is also. I am gonna close because if I don't this will become a book, but before I leave I just want to say...keep smiling, it's good for you :) Speak True Kyla ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #287 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #288 Date: November 29, 1997 3:42 AM etheridge-digest Saturday, November 29 1997 Volume 01 : Number 288 *etheridge* Melissa legally adopting Bailey [MReeves74@aol.com] *etheridge* legal adoption [Kyla Gray ] *etheridge* auction [monica@intergate.bc.ca (nicole read)] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 28 Nov 1997 07:37:28 -0500 (EST) From: MReeves74@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Melissa legally adopting Bailey How did this work?
