Pretty darn professional, in my opinion. 1. Most guitars are played in *standard* tuning (EADGBE), or, at the most with low E tuned down to D. 2. *Many* Indigo Girls songs are played in *non-standard* tunings (e.g., DADGAD). 3. Switching between tunings (especially on the high strings) is a lot more time-consuming and fiddly than "tweaking" an already-tuned guitar back to pitch. (Low strings are a lot more forgiving.) 4. High strings tend to break pretty darn quickly when tuned repeatedly between pitches a couple of apart.* Get the picture? Of course, if someone prefers going to a concert where the between-song breaks take ten minutes each, guitars go out of tune in the middle of the song, and strings break every couple of songs, then there's probably a good argument for confining performers to a single guitar each. (And that's not to mention whether the tonal colourings and qualities of different guitars are better suited to different songs, electric vs. acoustic, six- vs. twelve-string, etc.) Now, if you want to suggest to Amy & Emily that they confine themselves to writing songs in standard tuning only, in the interests of "greater professionalism" through fewer guitar changes, that's your lookout. Or you could just suggest that they play all of the songs in order by tuning -- although it might get a little monotonous for the rest of us. You could also try to get capos banned, whilst you're at it, since capoing takes up time. > That would be a "fun" stat.--how many guitar changes different > bands/musicians make. Why? Would they be playing the same set? What next? Criticising what people wear on stage? Pointing out when they've gained a little weight? Mentioning visible panty lines? Oh what a Brave New World, that has such perfect people in it. And before you ask, yes, I am an old grouch. And proud of it.** Cheers, Kate * Due to Newton's law of inertia. ** And I have been known to use multiple guitars when performing. - --- ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 13:14:14 UTC From: "Kate Blackmon" Subject: *etheridge* Re: In defense of Indigo Girls I would hereby like to publically apologise to Jacky Abromitis who wrote: >> I don't think it has to be an either/or issue.

Hi folks! I had to claim some MEC in this posting cos well, this list is the medium through which Liz and I first met....yeah, if it sounds strange to you then it's even stranger to me the skeptical southerner... Anyhow, I s'pose we can claim we're going to have a wee Melissa fest down here in Christchurch, NZ in about 3 days time cos that's when Liz (formerly from Austin, TexaRse) arrives back in our kiwi town. Actually it was only by pure coincidence I found out recently that Austin is Christchurch's sister city in the US....boy was I surprised!! So Liz will be here shortly : ) : ) : ) and she's already been offered a spot on the local radio show to play some of her wares...MLE boots no doubt...so even though she'll be absent for a while 'I want to testify' that this little pacific wanderer will still be humming....but probably not a Bali Hai Melissa tribute in the shower...

Lakeshore Entertainment and Paramount Pictures have set an early January start for "Piece of My Heart," a $30 million project that will star rocker Melissa Etheridge as Joplin under the direction of Stephen Gyllenhaal. A competing project, to which director Nancy Savoca is attached, has been put in turnaround by TriStar Pictures. The producers said Thursday that they still hope to make their version at another studio. "Heart" will shoot in Texas, San Francisco and L.A. Etheridge, whose live act incorporates a Joplin tribute, will herself belt out such hits as "Ball and Chain" and "Piece of My Heart." A soundtrack album will likely go out through Island Records, where Etheridge has her deal. Originally scripted by video director and Etheridge's partner, Julie Cypher, the screenplay has undergone rewrites. Gyllenhaal, whose credits include "Waterland" and "A Dangerous Woman," directed the upcoming film "Homegrown," starring Billy Bob Thornton. Producers of the rival Joplin picture, Peter Newman and Rich Guay, said they are in active discussions with another distributor and hope soon to announce a start date. Based on the book "Love, Janis" by the singer's sister Laura Joplin, the film would feature actress Lily Taylor lip-synching to Joplin's voice. "We're making it," said Newman, who added that the films are different enough in approach to coexist. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 15:42:26 -0400 (EDT) From: roger zender Subject: *etheridge* NMEC: Any Green Bay'ers?

Amazing Grace CD Compilation to benefit the fight against breast cancer All are very cool. The lullaby lyrics were posted to the MLE list, but if you want/need them, email me and put Lullaby in the header. In the Rolling Stone book, Indigos are mentioned on page 129 and 133. MLE is mentioned on several pages: 323, 359, 368, 374, 375, 419, 558 on 558, MLE has a picture (not a new one, but hey it's a picture) Anyway, I'm giving all of these to my g/f for Christmas, so I will be wrapping them up now. Just thought you all would like to know. P.S. The Rolling Stone book is very very cool. I recommend as a gift. ($25.00, but I got it for $20.00 with my Bookstop card) $8.00 for the two magazines $14.99 for the cd.

I am SO jealous! But I'm glad that you had such a great day. On another topic: Anyone here have great foresight? If the filming of the Janis film isn't set to begin until January, there isn't enough time for a new album. Yet MLE has obviously been writing. Will any of this end up at the recording studio? If not as a new album next year (?), maybe in some compilation? Wouldn't this sort of "in-between" time be great for MLE to release that much-desired live album? I guess I just don't think that a musician should be out of the public eye for so long. Not just because *I* want to see her do something (which I do!), but that in general, people are very fickle and forgetful. Filming the movie will take a while, and I seriously doubt that it will get a big push at the box office (if that is where it is intended to go). Releasing a live album sometime this fall would be a great way for MLE to remind the listening public that she is a fantastic performer and an artist who needs to be remembered into the next year and until she has another new project come out. What do y'all think?

At that point, I would hope that MLE would just happen to be getting out of her own car and notice the incident and rush to my side--along with EDG and AH (and maybe Gina Davis, if she had recovered from her BBall game with MLE and JC, and Christine Baranski, and Sela Ward, and Janine Turner, and Isabella Rosselini, and...and...oh, dear, I'm getting a bit carried away, eh?). It really would be the best of both worlds, because if I kept my senses as I was flying over the Porsche, I would be able to avoid serious injury and would probably get backstage passes and front row seats--between MLE/JC and EDG/AH--for the show. jen "the closest I ever came to getting hit by a car was when I rear-ended an orange Vega while riding my road bike" smith. - ----- "Ok...now don't anybody shoot me, but isn't this a 'Hanson' song?" --j. smith (after having what could best be described as a minor brain hemorrhage) ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 13:29:11 -0400 From: briefqueen@juno.com (M Something) Subject: *etheridge* IG & political messages Gynergy wrote: >as someone who is a fan of both ME and the IG I think it may have >been unfortunate that this particular show was your first concert >this was clearly billed as a benefit show,part of the Honor the Earth >tour, and focusing on the issues facing Native Americans >at the two concerts I saw earlier this year that were NOT part of the >Honor tour the IG played well over two hours perhaps you might >want to give a regular concert a chance Judging from the responses I've received, both public and private, I guess I didn't really make my true feelings known about all of this. I honestly didn't have a problem with the political messages at the concert. I understand that it was a benefit and I expected to hear the messages. However, I didn't expect to be chastised and berated because I'm white. Winona LaDuke just went way too far in her comments and, instead of gaining support, alienated many audience members. If I attended a Farm Aid concert, I'd expect to hear all about the plight of the American farmer, but I wouldn't expect Willie Nelson to try to lay blame and guilt on the audience in attendance who bought tickets to support the cause. As for the IGs, I'd definitely see them again, even if it's another benefit concert because I do support the cause as well as enjoy the music.

Wow!! You got some stamina since you're still "with her" and >obviously haven't given up on her totally?? For one thing, it has never been just about the CDs for me. There's only been one tour that I didn't have a blast at, and that was the last one (and that was probably mostly because I'm tired of John Shanks, and the show was too similar to the previous tour). And I have every expectation that her CDs will come back to what I enjoyed when the spotlight dies down a bit. If the lyrics in the Advocate are any indication, maybe sooner. What did you all think? I thought it was thoughtful without being as narrative as she has been recently. >Unlike others who have posted earlier on this I don't feel YLS to be a weak >and too commercially oriented album (what does that mean anyway???and is it >bad????? are the "good albums" the ones nobody buys, but which get a good >review in The Rolling Stone???) .

I agree with you, Deb. I think that every artist probably goes through a period when they first make it big that they feel they have to keep up the pace...produce more of what the audience wants to *hear* than what the artists themselves want to *play*. That's not to say that I don't think MLE didn't enjoy the YLS and it's not to say that I think it's a particularly bad album, I just feel as though it was directed, as someone said (was is rhondda?), at 'fence-straddlers' who discovered MLE w/YIA and who didn't really care for the older material. >If the lyrics in the Advocate are any indication, maybe >sooner. What did you all think? I thought it was thoughtful >without being as narrative as she has been recently. Well, I merely skimmed 'Lullaby' the first time I read it...I just now went back and re-read it and I *really* like it. I have to admit that when I skimmed it earlier, during the first verse, I thought, "Oh, no...songs about how the world isn't fit for a child to live in," but I really do sense her love for her daughter and perhaps her sense of fear that all she has to offer her child, wrt to how to cope in the world, is what she's learned from hate. Right now, my speak-before-I-really-think reaction is that this could be a very *strong* piece of work if it is set to the right music...that it will be almost a waste of terrific writing if she's not careful how the accompanying tune is composed. >I don't associate popularity with quality, though I'm afraid >many do.

Like Deb, I would hope that MLE changed for artisitic reasons. However, I have to say that IMO, her most recent effort seems to have been based on a desire for CD and ticket sales rather than artistic evolution. I tend to agree that she might not have enjoyed such commercial success (as opposed to artistic success) over the past 3 or 4 years if she hadn't made her music more, as I would call it, 'radio friendly'. Unlike Deb, I really like YIA (not that Deb *doesn't* like YIA, but I would place YIA 2nd on my fav list behind B&C and followed closely by ME). I am thrilled that YIA had the success that it did because I think that if an artist puts as much work into their careers as MLE has, they deserve that big break. At the same time, I also feel that 'good' artists (and I feel that MLE is good) tend to come full circle as far as their reasons for writing and recording. IMO, 'Lullaby' is representative of MLE writing for MLE--not for the sake of sales. >>According to which "standard"????? >Exactly.

Not good signs... I'm not, actually. I'm curious, though...is JC the person who is re-writing the script? If she is the person doing the re-writes, then I might be a little concerned. I'm not a big fan of JC's work. OTOH, how many times to movies go through re-writes before they are filmed? I would imagine that perhaps Rocco got tired of the bitching and fighting over who had what rights to which songs, who was really authorized to make the movie to begin with, etc. Could it also be that he didn't like JC's work and that caused a bit of a tiff, maybe? I would hope that the fact that JC is MLE's partner does not stand in the way of hiring a decent writer, if that is in fact a major hang-up with the beginning of production. What bugs me is that there are *two* bios in the works. I don't recall a situation like this in the near past. I would think (and this has nothing to do with the impact that JJ had on music) that a JJ bio is not going to be destined for greatness--regardless of who plays JJ, whether or not the actor actually sings and who writes/directs. But two of them at pretty much the same time? Sounds like overkill if you ask me. OTOH, it sounds as if the 'other' JJ bio might not be getting off the ground at all. I personally think that there is no way that a JJ bio with a lip-syncer (even though acting is the lead's forte) can stack up against a bio w/MLE actually singing in the role. That's what JJ was all about, no? I've said this before, but my unbiased feeling is that MLE would be better in the role since she probably isn't as polished an actor.

The IGs have toured Australia once, so our opportunity to enjoy them perform live has been somewhat limited. They toured with Sara Lee playing bass on about half of the songs. But at the conclusion of EVERY song they walked from their mikes way off to the side of the stage and changed guitars. This took at least 30-45 seconds every time, sometimes longer and really destroyed the continuity of the performance. In my opinion of course. I do understand the need to change guitars - but it was very odd to be enjoying them singing, clapping enthusiastically, and then have them disappear for a while and leave the whole stage empty. I have seen lots of concerts with lots of guitar changing but never anything as disruptive as this. btw .. I am an IGs fan and own all of their cd's and I'm looking forward to their Feb shows.

OTOH, because the joplin movie appeared to be floundering (and until the article in "variety", i was seriously doubting it was going to happen at all), perhaps island/MLE were waiting for the final details on the movie to be firmed up before moving on to the next project, i.e. a live album? >Anyone else nervous about the Joplin movie given that Marc Rocco has >dropped out of the project, and the script is going through a re-write? >Not good signs... i *was* nervous before when it appeared that the movie was stalled and nothing was happening, at least publically. the silence was absolutely deafening. now that we've got something to go on - a new director and a target production start date - i'm very much relieved. films are often rewritten, and this one will probably continue to be reworked until production begins. ================== Jenniffer Smith wrote: >What bugs me is that there are *two* bios in the works.

It could explain why I like the earlier albums so much better (when she could pick from years' worth of backlog)? Actually, I have often wondered this myself. I have the impression that our heroine is not an everflowing fount of lyrical/musical creativity. Why do I think this? Well, IMO, YLS was not up to the standards that I had set for her in my own mind according to the previous work she had done. Secondly, she continually repeats themes and ways of expressing herself. I am not only referring to the "lust, love, lost love" circle. Peruse some of her lyrics line by line. Several lines from earlier songs are reiterated and paraphrased in later ones. For instance, does anyone ever notice that Melissa often has trouble breathing? Perhaps this is a trait of several writers (not the trouble breathing :), the idea recycling), and MLE is the only one whose material I know well enough to make this observation. Anyway, I don't think MLE should "push" herself to write songs, and in the meantime, she should release a live album, do a Janis tribute album, and/or continue to expand her repertoire of cover songs. =-=-= >>Anyone else nervous about the Joplin movie given that Marc Rocco has dropped out of the project, and the script is going through a re-write? Not good signs... Actually, in my evil little heart, I was hoping that the movie would fall through. I have long believed that musicians have no business acting and actors have no business playing/singing. There are a few exceptions, of course, but in general, being famous enough to do it doesn't mean that it should be done.

Sometimes radio-friendly is good: it can help >to create a new fan base. actually, by "fence straddlers", i'm referring to those fans who could go either way, i.e. continue to support MLE or not. i didn't intend to imply that those who discovered MLE with YIA or YLS are necessarily fence straddlers, because if people became fans with these albums, then that's great! however, i wonder about those others who bought YIA/YLS based on what they heard on the radio or saw on VH1/MTV/Much Music and could really care less about MLE's work in the past. MLE may have to work harder to keep the interest of these fans. if MLE wrote something vastly different from YIA/YLS, then she may take the chance of losing these more casual fans, who are really responsible for the success she achieved (as measured by album sales). losing these casual fans isn't necessarily a bad thing, because i believe that MLE should write what feels true to her, regardless of whether it's popular or not. *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Oct 1997 17:37:59 -0500 From: Patti Fink Subject: RE: *etheridge* Re: mein - -----Original Message----- From: Deb [indigo@mindspring.com] Rhondda L.

No info is given in the liner notes. :-( I'm *very* glad to see (re: the new lyrics) that MLE's been working! I know she often gets much of her songwriting done on the road, so I was a bit concerned that with the long layoff she might not have much new material (other than the Joplin stuff) when she comes back. Like others on the list, I like the lyrics -- I'm a bit nervous about the music though; I can easily hear this one sounding like several other songs -- you can kinda sing the lyrics to the tune of "YIA" or "ITYWM" (or, for that matter, Springsteen's "Racing in the Streets").

That's an opionion and as such can neither be *right* nor *wrong*. But my feeling is that you did not really address what I had said earlier in my post. I didn't comment on your *opinion* that YLS is a bad album, I commented on your assumption that MLE would appreciate constructive criticism from her fans. What I found to be patronizing in your post of last April was that IMO you equaled your opinion with being constructive criticism, and other opinions with pledging blind allegiance. I was only saying that I can very well like YLS and believe it to be a good album without going into the pledging blind allegiance department. I am not saying my opinion is *right*, and I'm not saying your opinion is *wrong*, I simply didn't appreciate a remark which I found to be a total generalization. <> Agreed. I think it borders on being ridiculous when taking criticism which MLE is confronted with personally. Hey, that's almost patronizing in itself . I just had that feeling that you were creating something yourself that earlier you were criticizing on, i.e. the "Real Fans" category. But in your reading those were the fans who offer "constructive criticism". Now I might have totally misread and misinterpreted that, but it's true that post really struck a chord with me, so that I can quote it even after 6 months off the top of my head. I am glad you feel flattered by that . Although I don't have any proof for this, I think that deep down inside MLE couldn't care less of what her fans think of her and of her music. Well, probably she enjoys it when having success, when selling 5+ and have sold out concerts, good for her!!!!!, but I really can't see her sitting somewhere biting her nails to the bone and trying to write the music her fans want her to write. She's got millions of fans, how could she possibly ever satisfy all of them??? That's impossible. I think she only thing she can really depend on is her own "standard", what she thinks, what she wants to do, where she wants her music and themes to go. And I think it's pretty much a *take it or leave it* thing. I think many of us have wishes what we'd like to see MLE do next and that's great. In a way I am uncritical about her music, no problem admitting that. If I don't like too much what I am hearing, I hit "forward"....but more often I hit "repeat". Take it or leave it. But since she's got me hooked long ago, I am really looking forward to her new album. So then it will be time for "forward" or "repeat" again.

Gee, I guess my >> opinion is all wrong, I just haven't listened >> properly yet. I don't know about patronizing but Sasha seems to be of the opinion that everybody will like every piece of music they ever hear if they just listen to it a few times. That is unrealistic and if it were true, very expensive. I've listened to groups such as Rush and Genesis for over 20 years and I still don't like them. I've long since given up that I ever will. And no matter how many times I hear "You Light Up My Life", I still think it's the worst song ever written. I'd also like to know how Sasha knows that the critics haven't listened.

Sharon wrote <> I guess you're neither suggesting that Melissa suffers from asthma nor as Rhondda said <>, but that "breathing" or trouble breathing is an often repeated image in her lyrics, right??? Okay, I can't detect any breathing trouble in ME nor in B&C, neither the words nor an image that would describe that is used there. But then in NE we face major breathing trouble, "Place your Hand" ".....and it chokes all of my breath out" (count 1). And then we have YIA and CTMW and I hope the line "I would dial the numbers just to listen to your breath" does not classify as MLE breathing trouble!!! (count is still 1). And then we have "Resist", hm, does "confusion on the ground, breathing soft and holy, tempation's only sound" count???? Don't know, let's say it does. (so count is 2). Oh but now we have to find big breathing points on YLS since we're running out of albums!!! And right with YLS it starts "my senses soaked, my ego's choked"....hm not really breathing trouble but ego trouble, well, anyway let's give it a point (3 now). And in NWTG the line "you might as well scream", now that's quite the opposite of breathing trouble , and I am tempted to take away one point again, but okay, count is still 3. And even in AUK, well the "subject" of this song almost cries for some heavy sultry breathing trouble, but nope, nothing there, hm. Okay, next.....well I couldn't find any more!!!! No more breathing or breathing trouble!!!!??? So in 50 songs Melissa used the image of "breathing" as much as three times (even if I have overlooked one or two, so what???). WOW!!! Now what does that mean???? That she really is not very prolific??? Where do you see "idea recycling"???? And what lines from earlier songs are reiterated and paraphrased in later ones??? Well then as an example you gave these repeated breathing problems, which are not there IMHO. So please give some examples for reiterated and paraphrased lines!!! And btw your FOP count looks pretty bad ;-) Martina who wants to leave y'all with a beautiful (just MHO) example for breathing problems "And I can't explain but it's something about the way you look tonight....takes my breath away, it's that feeling that I get about you deep inside" ~~~Elton John/Bernie Taupin ****************************************************************** * 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, 6 Oct 1997 01:11:09 +0000 From: "J.

At this time, YIA had been out some time, but i was listening to country music at the time, so i'd missed all its singles. i fell in love with her music, and bought YLS as soon as it hit the stores. reluctantly, i bought YIA--but it took a little getting used to. eventually, i decided i was a true enough fan, and bought ME. i now have BC, but i'm still having trouble getting used to some of it. because many of you started at the beginning, the later stuff seems a departure for the worst, or at least the not-quite-as-good. well, when you're a backwards devotee, as i am, the opposite holds true. not to say i don't like the earlier albums! but for the longest time, my favorites songs were DWS and IFY from NE. when it's all you know, that's what you know. i think i'm rambling, and i'm not sure if i'm making sense. i wonder if the other backwards fans out there in MELister land feel like i do? if i'm alone, well, fine. i do things my own way anyway! my two cents --do i get any change back? ;) J. - ---------- http://www.quill.net/ ****************************************************************** * 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 #234 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #235 Date: October 7, 1997 3:40 AM etheridge-digest Tuesday, October 7 1997 Volume 01 : Number 235 *etheridge* Re: Xena review [Satsanga ] Re: *etheridge* Xena review ;) [Damon M Glenn ] *etheridge* NMEC: Dirty little secret...

We drove 250 miles, from Kingman, Arizona, to Sedona, and got to the concert site (the Verde Valley School) about 11:00 a.m. The amphitheater was about half-full when we arrived, and we realized that we'd be sitting on grass, and didn't bring blankets or chairs! :-( Ah well, a small sacrifice. The first group to play was Indigenous, a band of Native Americans. They sound A LOT like Stevie Ray Vaughn, with a little Hendrix thrown in now and then, and they put on a good show. I kept expecting them to break into "Little Wings," though. Next came Jimmy Dale Gilmore. A weak version of Willie Nelson, he played two songs: one of them twice, one of them five times. We couldn't distinguish between any of them. Next came Keb' Mo', with his Lou Rawls voice and excellent guitar work. Jackson Browne only did two songs I knew (not a big fan) and his voice cracked a bit. Finally, the moment we'd been waiting for: Melissa Etheridge. As well as we can remember it, she opened with Chrome Plated Heart, and played (the order may be wrong) CTMW, YIA (where she forgot a line), NTG, LID, YCSWID, IWTCO, and ATWTH. For her encore, she talked about portraying Janis Joplin in the upcoming bio-pic (10/4/97 was, ironically, the 27th anniversary of JJ's death) and performed Piece of My Heart. Although MLE questioned whether she'd remember how to perform after taking 9 mos. off, she was perfect, even on the long, drawn-out screams in POMH. In the second encore, she was joined by all the other artists, to sing "Not Fade Away" (I think that's the song) and "America the Beautiful." Highlights: she said Julie told her that her career as a songwriter is over, since all she writes about now is "It's your turn to change the baby." MLE also said that sometimes, when it's 3:47 a.m., and she's walking around in circles (holding the baby, presumably), that she really needs to have people scream at her. So of course, we all did. :-) During "America the Beautiful," she changed the lines to "God shed Her grace on thee" and "crown thy good with sisterhood." It was a great concert, and we were so glad that she chose a venue near enough to us that we could make it. For all of you who missed it, I hope this gives you a little "MLE fix" to hold you over until she's touring/recording again. That's all for now.

Well, it wasn't meant to be a generalization about everyone who liked YLS. In fact, I don't think it referred to any specific album at all. As I recall, it was a response to people who objected to my criticizing MLE (the criticizing itself, not the criticisms per se). I would say that these people who think that MLE is above criticism have pledged blind allegiance. >Although I don't have any proof for this, I think that deep down inside MLE >couldn't care less of what her fans think of her and of her music. >She's got millions of fans, how could she possibly ever satisfy all >of them??? Right. Again, my remarks need to be placed in context. As I recall, the earlier posts said something about how MLE would feel if she were to read my comments, and I kind of figured she would appreciate them because she knows they're from a fan who has high expectations of her work, and isn't afraid to give her both positive and negative feedback. I know if it were *me*, I'd take the comments of people more seriously if they appeared to be somewhat objective, than if they were starry-eyed and couldn't see anything which could use improvement. - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ___________________________________________________________________ "For every hand extended, another lies in wait / Keep your eye on that one -- anticipate" - Ani DiFranco, "Anticipate" ****************************************************************** * 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, 6 Oct 1997 13:41:16, -0500 From: FMCR30B@prodigy.com ( APHRODITE BRAY) Subject: *etheridge* best album jenniferj@quill.net wrote: >i fell in love with her music, and bought YLS as soon as it hit >the stores. reluctantly, i bought YIA--but it took a little >getting used to. eventually, i decided i was a true enough fan, >and bought ME. i now have BC, but i'm still having trouble >getting used to some of it. > >because many of you started at the beginning, the later stuff >seems a departure for the worst, or at least the >not-quite-as-good. well, when you're a backwards devotee, as i >am, the opposite holds true. I am also a backward devotee I guess, because I discovered Melissa when Yes I Am was popular, and I got her older albums afterwards. But my favorite album has always been B&C... I just think it's her best work, all around. I don't dislike YIA or YLS because I think she has branched out more and she couldn't keep doing the same things, because it would get old. I personally think NE was her worst album, or at least her least like Melissa album, but it is more interesting and different. I think she has been going in a more "commercial" direction starting with NE, but if she hadn't most of us never would have known who she was, right?

And we are here to benefit from the pureness of a heart so young and beating so true.

In the darkness, through the trees, carried on the wind comes a lullaby so soft and so sweet and we know that voice as if it were our own mothers tender chrous in the dark singing and slowly rocking us at any age into peaceful slumber.

The statement about her having trouble breathing had to make me laugh. I just watched 4 video tapes (Thanks to someone very special) full of Melissa performing in many different settings, and I honestly didn't see her gasp for air once. I did however notice how long she can hold a note and how the crowd seemed to appreciate it. Constructive criticism is one thing but I think it has gone a little beyond that. I first heard and saw Melissa when she was on the Yes I Am tour. Seeing and hearing her perform those songs only made me want more, so I went and got all her previous CDs. Two years later (and they were two very long years for me), your Little Secret came out and I got that CD as soon as the record stores got it in. Now I am trying to find some good boots that have some songs that Melissa usually doesn't sing. Now if Melissa wrote something vastly different from Yes I AM and Your Little Secret she would not be taking any chance of losing me as a fan (which I would not refer to myself as a casual fan) as long as she stays true to herself.

But since > she's got me hooked long ago, I am really looking forward to her new album. > So then it will be time for "forward" or "repeat" again. What the > hell...after all it's only Rock'n Roll and I sure like it!!!!! and I have to agree with her. I think Melissa will continue to create songs true to her own nature. She should be true to herself ! Melissa has said herself, without any shame I might add, that the majority of her songs are about love and fear and dealing with that fear. If the topics are not interesting, simple, don't buy the CDs, don't go to the concerts. Maybe even join a different list, just kidding. All kidding aside, I feel that constructive criticism can be helpful and is even sometimes needed but what Melissa wears or even more interesting, what she doesn't wear, is not going to affect the quality of her songs. It's like saying that maybe someone feels that she looked better with shorter hair. It's nice to have your own opinion but does it make a difference in her creative ability to write a song? I think not. But of course that's just my opinion and that's worth just about what everyone else's opinion is worth, not much. Someone said ( and I can't remember who) opinions are like a--holes, everyone has one. Now isn't that the truth.

(97.7 HTZ FM, St. Catherines, Ontario) It was only $10.00 and was issued by the station for charity. The CD contains three interviews from Sept '93, June '95 and Nov '95. The interviewer is a DJ named Kristy Knight who is such a Melissa fan she should be a member of this list. It was refreshing to hear an interview with a enthusiastic interviewer who is a true fan with questions of her own, instead of just reading questions from a list. Try to get this CD if you can. I got mine from a dealer in Goldmine. I know we have worried this subject to death, but one of the last questions on the CD was about An Unusual Kiss. Kristy asked "Hey, Melissa is the song about "doing the nasty" or about a guest that wouldn't leave"? Melissa kind of laughed and answered "It's about both". Kind of gets the imagination stirred up again. pk ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Oct 1997 02:05:14 -0400 (EDT) From: Sooz911@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* from the Advocate If you'd like to see the pictures & the lullaby written by Melissa in the recent issue of the Advocate magazine, you can view them on my web page. http://www.geckotech.com/sooz911 Susan ****************************************************************** * 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 #235 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #236 Date: October 8, 1997 3:08 AM etheridge-digest Wednesday, October 8 1997 Volume 01 : Number 236 *etheridge* NMEC, support disney [halfpint ] *etheridge* melissa etheridge webring [halfpint ] Re: *etheridge* melissa etheridge webring ["Tricia" ] *etheridge* Etheridge sighting at Paramount ["J.

Croft" Subject: *etheridge* Etheridge sighting at Paramount Hey Everyone - I got a phone call today from someone I don't know very well (a friend of a friend thing - he needs something and my friend gave him my phone number) who works at Paramount. My first convo w/him was last week, just prior to leaving for the Sedona concert. So the first thing he said in today's call was "didn't you go see Melissa Etheridge play over the weekend? Because she was in my office yesterday! They shuttled her and Julie in for a meeting... had some chicken teriyaki lunch for her and got her right in." I asked if the meeting was related to the movie she is making -- he asked what the movie was about, I said Janis Joplin and he said, "Oh yeah -- I bet it was." Then he said he wasn't sure if it was chicken teriyaki, but it was chicken-something. That's all the detail I could get out of him, but I didn't push too hard not knowing him very well... if I get to know him any better, I'll seek a fashion report. ;) Jib JL Jiblet Croft ** jiblet@pretenders.org ** http://www.pretenders.org ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Oct 1997 00:23:16 -0500 From: "Patty Kolakowski" Subject: *etheridge* blind devotion Hi, Vickie wrote: > I must say the discussion of Melissa's music has gone around the bend, and > of course that's just my opinion. Vickie and I have discussed this privately and I couldn't agree more. I have to trust that Melissa knows just what she is doing with her career and hopes her fans stay with her. I for one will always be first in line to buy the next album, just like I was for the earlier ones. There will probably be a song or two that will not be my favorite, but I will appreciate the effort.

Catalog #: CGPINT8004 Manufactured in Canada >The interviewer is a DJ named Kristy Knight who is such a Melissa fan >she should be a member of this list. yes, she's quite the gusher, isn't she? patty already posted the tidbit about AUK (i did LOL after hearing MLE's response to that question!), but i found a couple of other interesting sections on the disk relating to the recent threads on the list about MLE's growth and what we expect from her. here are those excerpts... * * * * * * September 1993 * KK: So, do you pay attention to what your fans want or do you write an album for yourself? MLE: I have to write an album for myself because I think that's what my fans want. KK: Yeah? MLE: I think that they appreciate the truthfulness and the realness in living and learning in the moment and not trying to write what I think somebody else might want to hear. * November 1995 * KK: Fabulous record. MLE: Thank you. KK: But then again, you know, I'm a fan, so everything's fabulous with me. But it's much in the same vein as "Yes I Am". Did you feel that right now was not a good time to take a chance? MLE: Well, I think this is firmly planted where "Yes I Am" was planted, but I think it's a few steps out. I think I'm moving towards places of experimentation, places where I can go and grow. KK: Well, like what? MLE: Well, like the song, "I Could Have Been You". That's different lyrically, musically. It's, it's, it's a collaboration with John Shanks. It's a, it's a different space for me. Songs like the last song on the album, "This War is Over", which I wrote on keyboards and piano, and it just comes from a different place, and I need to work on those places and move forward. KK: Isn't that a lot like the way you felt when you put out "Never Enough"? MLE: I think I put out "Never Enough" going to those places without first, it's like passing "Go" and not collecting the $200. I needed to, I needed to get the experience in and do what I do best and do it the best that I could and then move on. KK: Do Melissa fans stop you from taking a chance sometimes and say, "No, this is your place, and we want you to stay here"? MLE: No, I think the only thing they ask of me is to be honest and have it come from me, and so they can always feel that it comes from me. * * * * * for me, one of the more hmm-inducing moments was when kristy knight asked about kevin mccormick. * * * * * * June 1995 * KK: Fan question for ya, and I've never heard a story on this, Melissa, and I have to know. What happened to Kevin McCormick? MLE: Ah. My...When I recorded "Yes I Am", I used Kevin and Fritz and some other musicians, and I also used a different bass player for some of the tracks, and that was the beginning of Kevin and Fritz starting to work with Jackson Browne, and it came a point when they had to choose between Jackson and myself, and Kevin and Fritz thought it was the time to break away from what they were doing with me and now he's working with Jackson. KK: Did you take offense at that, did it break your heart? I mean I know you guys are close; he really influenced you. MLE: It was, um, it was very hard. It was, it was like a change in relationship, you know, and it was very hard, but it was, it was necessary, and change is like that, you know. It can break your heart, but it's for the better. KK: But you still speak? MLE: (tentative) A little. KK: Oh, really, huh? * * * * * at this point, kristy knight changes the subject rather quickly. i got the feeling that she sensed that MLE was uncomfortable with this particular subject. it seems that there are some conflicting reports on kevin's departure. i recall reading (i think from joyce's book) that he wasn't exactly pleased at being replaced as MLE's producer by hugh padgham. however, her interview suggests that kevin moved on himself by choosing to work with jackson, not that he may have been pushed out. hmm, wonder if we'll ever hear the real story? still writing my sedona report... *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Oct 1997 01:14:53 -0400 (EDT) From: halfpint Subject: Re: *etheridge* melissa etheridge webring On Tue, 7 Oct 1997, Tricia wrote: :>I looked at the geocities page and didn't find anything related to :>a MLE webring.

Reading this list is completely mind boggling at times. Some people seem so willing to attack people for the most minor of causes, yet I wonder if you look that closely at yourself? If you accidentally slip up and say a different word than you mean, do you immediately begin to berate yourself for being so stupid? I doubt it, nobody should do that. Life is way to short to be worrying about whether or not other people are giving rap a fair chance or using the right word in the proper context. I see so many people on this list talk about letting people express their feelings, everyone's entitled to an opinion, blah, blah. Well, it seems that talk is cheap, at least here.

Melissa released songbooks for each of her albums, plus an anthology of her catalog after YLS was released. The anthology is carried by LADYSLIPPER... see their web-site at and search under 'artists' for Melissa's name... you will find the following songbook listed: PG9532SB - Melissa Etheridge Anthology $22.98 (US) I don't know if the anthology includes *every* song from her albums, so you might want to just purchase the 'Never Enough" songbook if you want sheet music for "The Letting Go". Songbooks are still listed on the MEIN web-site: Search under 'essentials': The following songbooks are listed: Melissa Etheridge Songbook $14.95 Brave & Crazy Songbook $14.95 Never Enough Songbook $18.95 Yes I Am Songbook $15.95 RE: "The Weakness In Me"... this is a Joan Armatrading song, released in 1981 on "Walk Under Ladders", A&M SP-4876... sheet music published by IRVING MUSIC INC, registered with BMI. I have never seen any of Joan's sheet music (except as part of a promotional package sent to radio stations), but perhaps a local music store could order it for you (assuming it's still in print).

De-lurking after many months. I am a latent songwriter, and I remember reading someones comment that said that Melissa's earlier work was so much better because she had so many more years of material to pick from. Mmm, I think that assumption is, well, not wrong, but, well, as a writer, there's some stuff that I wrote when I was first learning that I wouldn't want to share to save my life! It's that bad! Personally, I think we're having the same discussion here that I remember having on a U2 board once... everybody was so het-up over the change from _Boy_ to _Joshua Tree_ to _Zooropa_. Some hated the new material, saying that the new stuff had deviated from their original "sound." Someone made the point that all artists do change, and grow. Their albums seem to run in "sets" as far as style. The first three were setting up the "U2 standard sound," the next three were showing how they could work with other groups and artists and still be "U2," and this third set of albums is again a growing in another direction. I don't like ALL of U2's albums (personally, I despise _Rattle and Hum_," but I still think of myself as an ardent U2 fan. In the same vein, I think Melissa TOLD us she was planning to do some growing; listen again to the line "the only thing that stays the same, is change." IMOHO, quit griping about the thought of Melissa possibly changing something! At least give it a chance. If you don't like the changes, fine. Wait. Perhaps she'll come out with something more to your liking next time. This time someone else may like the changes, and not like what you,like next time. Take care.

Actually, if I remember correctly, I think I said that I thought MLE's writing could have been better on her first two albums because she had more 'angst-matter' to draw from...she was still going through, or re- covering from, nasty relationships, and it seems to me that her writing is stronger when she writes about lost love and futile lust. >I wrote when I was first learning that I wouldn't want to share to save >my life! MLE began writing long before ME and B&C came out--I don't think that those were necessarily her 'learning years'. She's said in interviews that she didn't like all of her early stuff and would never think of recording it. Some of it has turned up on imports, however, and I don't think it's all that bad. >I don't like ALL of U2's albums (personally, I despise _Rattle and Hum_," >but I still think of myself as an ardent U2 fan. Which is basically all that myself and others are saying about YLS in par- ticular. I certainly don't 'despise' YLS, it just doesn't affect me the way ME, B&C, and YIA do...too light on the acoustic and too weak in the lyrics department--IMO. >IMOHO, quit griping about the thought of Melissa possibly changing >something! At least give it a chance. Beg pardon? I haven't heard anyone griping about MLE's change of style for YLS. Several of us don't like it, but I have to admit that I believe we are the minority. Believe me (us?)--I've given YLS a chance and there are parts of it that I like. To follow in the path of another thread that's been developing on the list (and which, btw, probably needs to cool down a bit before somebody puts an eye out! ), I think you should probably give those of us who don't really care for YLS enough credit to have already given it a chance and to have made intelligent, well-thought- out decisions. How much of a chance did you give RAH before you decided that you despised it? >If you don't like the >changes, fine. Wait. Perhaps she'll come out with something more to your >liking next time.

What do either of those questions have to do with the reason I posted halfpint's original post? I don't think that you have showed above that your post, in which you stated that: >> Actually what you wrote was more along the lines >> of "rap sucks" implying that *nobody* should like >> it, not that *you* didn't like it. IMHO, people >> were justified in their response to you. >> was justified as anything other than an ad hominem attack. Halfpint wrote that *she* got pissed off -- she didn't say that "all right-thinking, God-fearing, patriotic Americans ought to be pissed off" along with her. In fact, strict interpretation of halfpint's statement above can be generalised no further than "Rap remakes of pop songs that I like suck" -- no way can it be generalised to "Rap sucks -- no one should like it." > My point is that she did *not* > give her comments as an opinion, but stated them more > as facts that we all should agree with. If every statement of opinion has to be prefaced with weasel words like "in my opinion" or followed with an emoticon in order that no one mistake a personal opinion for a statement of fact, then we need to institute reading comprehension / sanity tests for access to the Internet. Most people can discriminate between statements of fact (e.g., Pistachioes make a good snack) and statements of opinion (e.g., Pistachioes taste funny) without some kind of explicit "hey, pick up the big clue phone, there's a fact/opinion contained in this statement". > Obviously *some* > people like the new version, because it's been a huge seller. > People don't listen to (by choice) or buy music that they > don't like. So? A lot of 4- to 7- year-olds like the Spice Girls, but that doesn't make them great musicians or the Spice Girl album great music. > It's funny that people accuse Puff Daddy of > stealing a Police song when he had permission but > don't mention that Sting stole parts (words and tune) of > at least one song without permission.

For music within a subgenre to be characterised as part of a genre, then it must share at least one or more characteristics with the other subgenres and the overall genre. If I don't like the particular *shared* characteristic -- the one common factor, in other words -- I don't have to sample more than one song from any subgenre to know that I won't like any other music in that genre. To use a more mundane example, if I don't like the distinctive musty cardboard taste of calf's liver, and I know that all forms of animal liver contain the enzyme that creates that taste, I don't have to eat another bite of liver before I eliminate it from my diet. > >> "Oldies" is anything that came out before you > >> were old enough to buy music (or control the > >> radio) yourself, > > By your definition.

I am as ever warmed by the gifts mother nature sends my way. The leaves screaming with glee as they soar on a final flight towards the ground. The music they give as we walk upon them on quiet country lanes and the aroma radiated to warm my heart. Reminds me of Melissa and her music right now. I have all these CDs which are gifts given to me from her. I hold each one with the highest regard because each note, each song, each moment of her time to play for me is a gift. Now I know she wouldn't know me from the next bear at the zoo. But she still gives out these gifts to each and everyone of us who listen. I don't know and I don't speak for each and everyone of you but for me when someone gives me a gift, I am always very humbled by it. I hold it precious and in the warmest place I know, my heart. It touches me, just as the musical gift our lady gives each of us does. I don't pick it apart, I simply love it for what it is: a gift. How cherished a gift can be that is given. And the depth of the gifts go unmeasured. When it comes to music. It is and shall always be a gift. All we have to do with it is listen and be touched. So listen to the gift and be grateful. The leaves and their music on the wind are calling me so I will cease my rambling and simply go listen.

Or if they release a compilation of ME songs but the America's Best Country Artists, count me out!!! *************** And trust me your dollar will not be missed because for every one person who is intolerant of a particular artist and/or their sound - there are thousands of others who will make 'em rich, but thanks for sharing. __________ Only, it's statements like these "but I hate Rap, Hip Hop, Techno Pop, and Country/Western" that prove exactly why people on this list will almost always go to battle. When you make a widespread comment like this, you can't assume that people will AGREE with it, be COMFORTABLE with it or ACCEPT it for that matter. When you expose your dogmatic opinions and come off as an unaccepting and partial person for which you are ENTITLED to do - people react - and I for one hoped this list would be filled with people who were more flexible than that. Especially knowing the type of message that ME sends Now If Sting gave permission to allow Puff Daddy to SAMPLE his works and got onstage at the MTV Music Awards to EXPRESS that support of the collaborative MUSICAL effort they put forth, it was his right, which proved his acceptance of what they achieved TOGETHER as artists - so if his "FANS" can't stomach it - tune it out b/cause Sting's obviously well tuned in and not worrying - I admire the examples Sting and Puff Dady have set forth - something we need more of in this society, examples of unity, not HATE - But understand, that if you take this list as an opportunity to bash an entirely different genre than Rock & Roll, prepare yourself for the results - I recently heard Marilyn Manson and thought - What is this about? but would I USE the ME list to express my distaste for the Devil Praising, Hair Raising sounds that he exudes? No - it's just not appropriate - I don't know if some ME fan adores him or not and it would only prove how little RESPECT I have for anything that's DIFFERENTand/or DISTATESFUL to me. Now, although we on this list don't personally KNOW eachother - I'd like to think that we are capable enough not to scream out "INDIFFERENCE! INDIFFERENCE" at every breath we take - Finally, as far as Half-Pint's comments go, well, I think she knew very well what she said (she's already expressed her feelings about this issue in the past and continues to disregard several members on this list) so she doesn't need any foreign spokespersons who save e-mails from the month of June to come to her defense even though she may feel comforted by their attacking, aggressive and often JUDICIOUS approach. ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 19:31:51 -0400 (EDT) From: JENFER7193@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* Another War Eh? i was just sitting reading all of the mail from the list today...if you choose to call it mail...and i was struck with a thought...

Look, I don't know why you're even bothering to get all worked up over this (of course, you'll now tell me that I don't know you so how do I know if you're worked up...) it just seems incredibly silly to me. I don't understand why it's so necessary to certain people that even be perfect in their grammar at all times. She never said that that was how everyone should feel, that is how you chose to take it. This is supposed to be a place for discussion. When you're talking with your friends and they accidentally say "we", or "us", when they should be saying "I", do you flip out and tell them how wrong they are to speak for you? If you do, then I doubt that you have many conversations with anyone. >Is that because it's ok >for white artists to rip off black ones *without* >payment or credit but wrong for black artists to >use white music *with* credit and payment?

Hello folks! Apparently my share caused a great deal of discomfort to some, as I knew it would. I first off make my amends for being a tad bit mischievous. That was the mood I was in that day and I am entitled to my moods. Since I share them with the rest of my world, why not this part of it. After all it was all in fun. Secondly, its becoming clear that I may need to point out that MY original post was written in the first person it said and I quote "I" hate rap, "I" hate techno-pop, "I" hate country music. I went on to say that if Melissa made a rap CD"I" would not buy it. Additionally I said "I" would not purchase a country artist tribute to Melissa. Not once did I suggest "we" hate anything, "we" should boycott any such product. Nor did I suggest that you (the collective you) should feel the way I feel or that I would want to convince to do so in any way. As far as my $$s not being missed that is so very true, but it is in fact the best way I have to make ANY statement about what I like or dislike, condone or condemn, support or not support...you get the drift. Lets face it this world is run with $$s and mine and yours DO make a difference. There are many artists that I have liked that were "one hit wonders" that makes me sad as I enjoyed their music. I am glad that Melissa was not a "one hit wonder" when I discovered her first album, back when Similar Features was getting a little airplay. I am glad I listened to the rest of that CD while I did housework and came to love the songs it contained. I am glad I searched out her other CDs when they hit the market, because I love the sounds she makes with voice, her imagination, and her fingers, as well as whatever other body parts she uses. I happily support, condone, and love Ms. Melissa Etheridge. If my $$s help her to buy a package of diapers for Bailey then my work here is done. However, I own more than Melissa's CDs, I enjoy more than Melissa's music. I don't find this to blasphemous on this list (as I may point out neither do most of you), nor do I find it objectionable to state any negative opinions "I" may have with regards to music. I have never asked, nor have I seen it asked on this list for anyone to keep quiet about their opinions regarding the Indigo Girls, Ani DeFranco, the Spice Girls, etc, etc, etc. So if my opinion should be censored then so shall the others. However, I do not want my opinion, nor theirs censored. Mailing lists, the www, the internet are all the epitome of the expression of free speech. I do hope this clears up what I believe was a clear, succinct, concise message to begin with.

I too joined this list with the hope of learning new things about Melissa. Yes we all have "moods" and my mood this morning is to just drop this whole thing. Petty bickering about other peoples opinions has no place on a list devoted to Melissa. How can we expect to be accepted by "society" in general when we can't even seem to get along with each other? I'll probably be attacked for my opinion now but you know, I'm a bigger person than that. And I also know how to spell the word that removes me from this list. Lets see how much bickering we have this week and decide what action to take based on that. There are many sources of information about Melissa.

This one might not be as good as the last or at least a little less intense, but I like it anyway. So here it is........ 5 October 1997 Today Today it makes four months since the time when your lips first touched mine. Today makes four months since we officially started this crazy relationship and still no one knows. Today you are with her and not here with me, and it hurts to know that tonight someone's lips will touch yours and they will not be mine. Someone arms will hold you as you sleep, they tell you goodnight, and yet it will not be me. Fingers will gently stroke your hair and touch your face, and they will not be mine. Tonight my heart will burn with desire and my soul will scream in agony all directed towards you. Tonight when I close my eyes, I will see your face, remember your gentle kiss, and warm embrace. I will feel your hands upon my body and my lips upon your skin. I will hear you every word bounce around my heart and then wonder if you said the same to her. Your image will chase away my sleep and make dawn come all to slow. Tonight I will wonder if your words were true and you do want to leave her to be with me. I will wonder if your feelings run as deep as mine, if you know that I love you. From the first day I saw your blue eyes, I knew I would never be the same. The day you entered my life I felt a tingle in my soul and a tug at my heart. Day by day the tug grew more intense and the tingle turned to a burning sensation that would not leave me night or day. As the weeks turned to months, my feelings grew to love and for the first time in my life I understood. I understood how someone could want to call just to say "hello", drive for hours just to see one's smile, wait on a phone call, drop everything at a moment's notice, how love could actually hurt this bad. I understood more each day. How my life became brighter when you were near, how my smile came easier, the spring in my step higher, and the world became more. As our friendship went further my love grew stronger and my pain grew deeper. See I am the other woman that I never thought I would be. I am the one that I never dream I could be. Today we are not together and tomorrow I will wake up alone. While somewhere not so far away you will wake up and see her face as I whisper your name. ~Holly ****************************************************************** * 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 #241 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #242 Date: October 14, 1997 3:07 AM etheridge-digest Tuesday, October 14 1997 Volume 01 : Number 242 *etheridge* Another Inspiration?

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* 10/04/97 - 8th annual music festival - sedona, arizona - part 1 well, it's certainly been a whirlwind melissa-related week for jib and i. what with melissa cohosting maxine lapiduss' "Situation Tragedy" in los angeles last weekend (with allison) and her headlining appearance at the "8th annual music festival" on saturday in sedona, arizona (with kim luce, one of those quiet, demure BAB'ers ), we're definitely primed for more of her in the near future. europe, here we come! what is it about melissa that makes the two of us want to jump into rental cars and follow her around like a couple of misplaced deadheads? good thing we get along so well because otherwise we'd be at each other throats after logging thousands of miles on the road together. :-) anyway, off with the horns and on with the show (whoops, wrong list! )...i decided i'd write a review of the sedona concert similar to my YCSWID reports from last year. it is odd that i'm writing this review before i've submitted my phoenix, san diego, and los angeles reports, but i'll do that soon enough. until then, i hope that this will suffice. :-) * we're outta here * i swung by and picked up kim at her apartment in my not-so-new honda civic on friday afternoon. after packing up my car with her stuff, we were off to LA just before 3:30 pm. it was a pretty uneventful journey, except for running into some traffic in southern san jose. we did have a rather hilarious incident occur at the buttonwillow (in california's central valley) arco station. the gas pump was being rather temperamental so it took me a couple of times to get it to work properly, probably because i failed to park close enough to the pump. as my car was getting happily filled with gas, kim and i were chatting near the trunk of my car, when the pump clicked off and *flew* out of the tank, spilling gas on my car and the ground. kim turned off the gas and went into the station to get some paper towels so that i could wipe off my car. she returned with the towels doubling over in laughter the entire way back to my car. i'm just glad that i wasn't standing any closer to the pump, because i would have been doused with gas. * los angeles * we arrived at jib and allison's house just before 9 pm. jib and i ran off to pick up the rental car while kim stayed and babysat jib's dogs. we rented a rather plush dodge intrepid, the perfect vehicle for 3 valiant women on their way to an etheridge concert. :-) jib continued to pack as kim and i took naps. we were going to relieve each other along the way, so since i had already driven 5.5 hours to LA, jib suggested that she take the first leg. * the long 500-mile drive to sedona * we left LA just after 1:00 am on saturday morning. as promised, jib took the first shift and managed to drive until we reached blythe, california near the arizona border when i relieved her for the next leg. i drove for 2 hours from 4:30 am-6:30 am, quietly listening to melissa tapes and watching the sun rise as jib and kim snoozed. jib took over again when we reached goodyear, arizona (a phoenix suburb) for the final leg to sedona, and i caught a few more winks in the back seat of the trusty dodge intrepid. the southern part of arizona is a typical desert environment, full of sand and 20 foot saguaro cacti. driving northwards from phoenix, the desert landscape slowly changes into a more mountainous one. as we drove closer to the sedona area, we could see the red rock buttes that sedona is famous for rising in the distance. there are really no words to describe how absolutely beautiful and awe-inspiring this region of the state is. * we made it! * we reached the parking lot at approximately 8:30 am. concert goers have to park in lots located in the village of oak creek, and then are bussed to the hamilton warren amphitheater on the campus of the verde valley school. we had a laugh getting into the school buses because we were trying to remember when we had last ridden on one. since the school buses were basically designed for 8-year-olds, we comically squeezed our way down the aisle, carrying our beach chairs, cooler, blankets, backpacks, and bags before plopping ourselves down in 3 seats. * the venue * having survived a 10 minute bumpy ride from the parking lot to the school, we picked up our tickets, bought t-shirts, and walked to the amphitheatre's entrance. the venue hadn't officially opened yet, so the crowd patiently waited. we were somewhat concerned and confused about melissa's position on the concert program. the artists were listed in this order: melissa, keb' mo', indigenous, jimmie dale gilmore, and jackson browne. because she was listed first, we thought that melissa might be the first act. then, at exactly 10:30 am, someone opened the gates, and the crowd surged forward. as people reached the open area, they ran down the gentle slope to garner the best spots on the lawn in front of the stage. i told jib and kim that i'd make a break for it, since i wasn't carrying as much stuff as they were. i ran down the slope, vaulting over various blankets and lawn chairs, to find the perfect spot about 25 feet from the stage only to realize that the william tell overture was playing over the stereo system! LOL! when everyone who had been waiting was seated and the overture ended, the crowd cheered! i guess this is an annual tradition. * waiting * when jib and i went to the phoenix YLS show last december, we arrived at our motel only to discover that arizona was an hour ahead of california due to daylight savings time, so we had arrived later than we thought. because of our prior experience, we believed that we had lost an hour travelling to arizona and that it was actually 11:45 am. then, the MC told us that we had an hour and 15 minutes before the show started. after asking someone what time it was, we realized that we had not lost an hour, after all, since daylight savings time had not kicked in. feeling silly yet relieved that we had some time to veg out, we relaxed on our chairs and blankets for the first time since leaving los angeles at 1 am that morning. while we were waiting, the light breeze that had been gently cooling off the amphitheatre abruptly turned into this weird wind vortex. suddenly, lawn chairs turned over, and trash flew into the air. we watched as a concert program caught the wind current and shot hundreds of feet into the air within moments. ooo, spooky! i slathered myself with sunscreen every hour or so (i learned my lesson at the 2nd berkeley IG show ), as jib attempted to get her skin to match the red rock buttes surrounding the amphitheatre. * everyone else * indigenous opened the show at noon with a blistering 45 minute electric set reminiscent of stevie ray vaughan and jimi hendrix. someone obviously forgot to tell them that the show was supposed to be acoustic. boy, were they loud (yet better than i thought they'd be)! their lead guitarist/singer got the crowd to its feet with his hendrix-like solos with his teeth. what a wake-up call! after a 15 minute break, jimmie dale gilmore was next. we didn't know that jimmie was on the bill until we saw his name on the program. he played a beautiful acoustic gibson guitar while his lead guitarist played an equally exquisite takamine. i enjoyed his country-folk style - or should i say, what i could hear of it, since we were sitting near a group of "chatty cathies" who talked loudly fairly consistently throughout his set and would let loose periodically with a perfectly timed cackle or two. i'll never understand why people insist on going to concerts and talking loudly at them. at 2 pm, keb' mo' was next on the bill. keb' has played many times in the bay area, including free shows, but i had never managed to make any of them, even after one of my best friends raved about him (he got to see keb in a small club). he was incredible! the audience loved his smooth acoustic slide blues, leaping to their feet several times for standing ovations. the MC had mentioned earlier that keb' was supposed to perform at last year's benefit, but he had to drop out because he had snagged an opening spot on tina turner's european tour. keb' promised to play the benefit this year, and he was well worth the wait. after keb's set, we were stunned when the MC announced that they were getting the stage ready for jackson's set. so, that would mean that...melissa was headlining?!?! WOW! sometime during either jimmie's or keb's sets, we noticed a guitar tech (not trace) tuning 3 ovations on the stage. he continued to tune them all the way through jackson's set. it takes quite awhile to tune 36 strings! at about 3:15 pm, jackson began his 50 minute set. i've seen jackson a few times over the years, and this was not one of his better efforts. he sounded like he was losing his voice, perhaps due to a cold. i do recall him playing "the next voice you hear", "i'm alive", "everyman", "for a dancer," "the pretender", "take it easy" (co-written with members of the eagles), "rosie", and "world in motion". after the last song, jackson announced that melissa would be taking the stage in a few minutes. the crowd cheered loudly! periodically throughout the other performers' sets, we could see glimpses of melissa hanging out behind the stage. of course, we could generally just see tufts of blonde hair (which looked lighter than last weekend) with occasional flashes of those familiar brown eyes and quick smile. we were trembling with anticipation. just a few more minutes, and we'd be seeing melissa perform her first set in more than 9 months... would melissa premiere "a truthful lullaby"? would she be rusty after more than 9 months off the road? would she show us how to properly change a baby's diaper? and the most important question of them all...would melissa invite us to dinner after the show? ;-) ...to be continued... *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 12:50:22 -0700 From: "David and Glenna Johnson" Subject: *etheridge* an aussie MLE lister will be visiting the states...(NMLEC) (fwd) >Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 12:35:43 -0700 >From: "Rhondda L.

Let us please take a moment here...... take a deep breath and come on a journey with me. Now let us go back to a simpler time............ close your eyes and feel that first time you ever heard Melissa sing. That feeling your heart felt when you heard that voice singing in the dark, on the radio, on the movie screen, in your car on a desolate highway, in a parking lot of a softball field, in the dark with your heart ripped out and thrown upon the floor! And the rush your heart felt when you found out who was touching your souls so deeply and where her music could be found. You hungered for it so as you searched until you found everything this woman had ever recorded and even some bootleg stuff and why???? Because your soul could not get enough. So those of us who were blessed with computers searched for a place where we could get more input and share what we had found like a child who had found change in a coin slot and could buy penny candy for everyone. We were so very hungry indeed. And we found a forum.... a table to sit at together and simply share the woman and her music. It was so simple and easy to do then. I was reminded of this when I was driving my truck tonight in the rear view mirror the almost full moon was shining and as I looked up through my sunroof I pondered... why am I not content with an almost full moon.... why do I have to have it all..... then futher on my journey it hit me.... the simple pleasures have been lost. It came to me as I drove past a house that had a child playing in the yard.... a simple stick in his hand and a garbage bag tied to it like a kite and he ran so fast making that bag fill up and fly. And my god his face was so aglow from this simple pleasure of a stick with a bag on it. Somehow I feel we have all lost our training wheels and hit the road at warp speed leaving behind the simple pleasures. We want to be right and we want to be big and grown up. I think we need to go back to what we are here for. A woman and her music and that song we first heard coming to us on the wings of angels. A simple gift.... a gift of music.... a gift to share...... a gift of pleasure. I say we go back to better times and simple pleasures and the reason we are here. I say we should start today by opening our eyes and our hearts and share this gift of music and what it means to us one and all. Much Warmth, pooh ****************************************************************** * 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, 13 Oct 1997 21:55:21 -0500 From: ann strother Subject: Re: *etheridge* WHY IS ALL THIS CRAP GOING ON!!!!!!

I shrieked because they had spelled her name "MELISSA ETHRIDGE" on the plaque. One of the employees came up to me and said, "You noticed. We didn't think anyone would." Well, their asking price was $3750, so you'd think they'd change it. They also had a framed autographed photo for $495. MLE's prices were higher than many other artists, such as Billy Joel and Sting.

I really like the video for Come To My Window. I don't really like Juliette Lewis that much, but the interpretation was outstanding! I really LOVED the video for No Where To Go (I loved the fact that Julie directed and co-starred, too). I prefer the videos with Melissa, and you can really "see her". For example, I do not like the video for IF I WANTED TO. I love the song, and love listening to it, but I don't care for the video. (I'm sure I will get flamed.) And because I like the song so much and expected more for a video probably has a lot to do with the fact that I don't the video. Love the new topics . . . let's discuss them all!!!

Our dear POOH has asked some wondrerful MLE related questions! Let's keep it precious in responding, eh? >>What do you think Melissa was thinking about when she wrote the some Come To My Window???<< well...the entire tone of the song seems somewhat obsessional. " I would dial the number just to listen to your breath..." >> And do you think anyone else could have done a better job in the video???<< No...IMHO the video was excellant. The images went extremely well with the words and tune. >> What do you think a new video will be about?<< I hadn't heard one was in the works, but I'd bet the next couple will be Joplin related! >>Ever notice when she sings how few cavities she has when she open her mouth and holds that note???<< ROFL....really, I hadn't noticed POOH! >>Do you think she will make her voice change with the songs in the Joplin movie since Joplin did scream alot???<< will she try to change her voice?? hmmmmmm....I'm just hoping she protects that voice as best she can! Joplin DID scream alot, and MLE needs to do whatever it takes to make sure her vocal chords don't get damaged! PLEASE!!! >> Do ya think she will try Southen Comfort?<< and what makes you think she HASN'T tried SC already??!! ;-) >> Will she trade in her BMW for a Porche???<< doubt it! lol >>Will she wear fake tattoos?<< oh my! the blasphemy of fake tattoos!!! I suppose she'll have to if Janis had tats, dear! >>Will she wear feathers in her hair like Joplin did and make it alot darker?<< well, from the Ladipuss and Sedona reports, it seems she's let her hair grow longer already. some darker tones and feathers would bring out the Joplin in anyone! ;) >> What do you think???<< I think I'm looking foward to this film! I really want to see MLE take a serious shot at acting. I know, I know...there are those out there that believe actors and musicians should stay in their seperate little worlds. I just can't agree with that. If they can blend the two together professionally, and make it an enjoyable experience, then I say GO FOR IT! So far I'm enjoying the topic POOH!

Oooh, ooo, I do, I do! I was driving across country (well, halfway, St. Louis to NYC) and was somewhere in the middle of Indiana - I honestly do not know where - at about 3:30 in the morning when I heard "Bring Me Some Water" on an Indianapolis radio station. I had no clue who I was hearing, but I liked the song *a lot* and my brother, fount of knowledge that he is, supplied the name. . . "Oh, that's Melissa Etheridge. She rocks." 'Nuff said.

What do you think Melissa was thinking about when she wrote the some Come To My Window??? I think we can safetly say it was for Julie ( seeing she's said it at concerts) And do you think anyone else could have done a better job in the video??? For the part Juliette Lewis did the business, was it on the "pop-up" that it was said the director stopped shooting once because he thought she really was losing it, although personally I thought it did portray the lyrics as being somewhat obsessional, read on their own it's a beautiful love song (to me anyway.........yes I'm Piscean) What do you think a new video will be about? Janis tie-in definately, & I hope it's film clips & all Ever notice when she sings how few cavities she has when she open her mouth and holds that note??? But notice how her dental work has improved from the early photos to the recent ones .... I'd love to have her dentist's number. Do you think she will make her voice change with the songs in the Joplin movie since Joplin did scream alot??? hmm, & Melissa dosen't ..... I'm sure she won't change it, it's one of the many individual facets I'm sure she'll bring to the portrayal. Do ya think she will try Southen Comfort? I don't think she drinks much ....Mr Prop man, some iced tea when you are ready ! Will she trade in her BMW for a Porche??? Never, drive one of those things & you'll want to sell your house for it. Will she wear fake tattoos? Probably, for a lasting memory of her role hopefully she'll have an award or 2. First time I heard MLE was YCSWID on a priate station in 92 ( when the passenger seat was empty & it seemed it would always would be) couldn't trace her but on a U.S. trip 8/10/95 I was played a song by her, significant but personal.

The rolling lyrics, the perfect (in my eyes) format of the mix of verses, chorus & bridge, the sentiment (ah-ha, the piscean in me arises..again) the rhythm, the guitar solo .. just about everything endears me to this song. In my personal catalogue I've blatantly followed the format to such an extent it's held my next-gen demo back for fear of plagurisim.............the live version especially, can't be beaten in my eyes.

My instructor asked me if I wanted the chords to LTWID. I said no (!); I didn't know the song. Even though my friend had mentioned it to me just a week or so prior to this, I hadn't heard it. Then, I saw ME perform on the Grammies--1989--BMSW. I was so unbelievably blown away. I can picture the room and my surroundings of that night. It has become one of those frozen-in-time moments. I asked the friend who had mentioned ME to me for a tape. I saw my first show that April. I saw her again in July or August and twice more in September at The Bottom Line shows. In total, I've seen about 16 shows. One of these days, I'll count 'em up. Great idea for peaceful, fun posts.

Julie was having a particularly hard time one time when Melissa was on the road and the only way Melissa could reach out and touch her was on the phone (no, its not a GTE commercial).

There are probably a lot of people who first heard her that night. I made a mental note of the name "Melissa Etheridge" and filed it away for future reference. A few weeks later, I heard a song that intrigued me, called "Similar Features". The DJ said the singer's name, and my mind clicked - "Oh yeah, from the Grammies!" The rest, as they say, is history. As for the original question ... I don't really have an answer.

Usually I attach to a song that I related to best at a certain point in time of my life. CTMW has always been a favorite of mine, not only for the passion, but the depth of the lyrics. They conjure images of pain, love, lust, hurt, missing, wanting...all at once. The line "I would dail the numbers just to listen to your breath" makes me picture a person who misses someone so much that they would call the house time and time again, and listen to the answering machine message over and over again, just to hear there voice and then quickly hang up before the beep sounded...only to call right back. They miss that person so much that just nowing that some how that made her closer to her, it soothed her soul (somewhat). Then the line "nothing feels the blackness that has seeped into my chest" Have you ever loved someone so much that their absence just makes you feel this huge void inside you chest where your heart rests? It just feels dark and empty and painful...... And then "I need you in my life I'm forsaking all the rest" How for that one person you would do anything, no matter how many people you had to hurt to get to her, Another favorite is IIOWT---because we have all been there and done that, some of us more then once. PP---because one tender touch does make all the pain and suffering worth wild if only for a few short moments, then you get to start all over! That is all I got time for "The great the pain, the great the joy" "I would rather die on my feet, then live on my knees" HOLLY ****************************************************************** * 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 #244 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #245 Date: October 17, 1997 3:24 AM etheridge-digest Friday, October 17 1997 Volume 01 : Number 245 Re: *etheridge* An Opinion Request [MBald66286@aol.com] *etheridge* Questions [DICK J L ] *etheridge* RE: opinions ["Deborah Alley" ] *etheridge* Re: Favorite Songs ["Jane Vaughn" ] *etheridge* Favorite song, first heard ["J.

Picking one favourite Melissa song is a very hard thing to do. When ever I hear one just by chance (as in on the radio or jukebox) I take it as a good luck omen. Usually what I hear on the radio is SF, BMSW or LTWID. But one of my few all time MLE songs is CTMW (I could list many but it could include half the contents of her albums) This was the first song I learnt to play on guitar. It's a very passionate song. I will mention one other favourite which is Let Me Go. I love the imagery in this song (Is this anyone else's favourite?) As for the film clip to CTMW I didn't see it untilrecently and had a very different view of the song. I saw it as a love song - yes she desperately wanted to see/be with this person (I think so far most are in agrement ME's refering to Julie- but if there are any other options please...) but I don't think it went as far as psychosis! I really liked the clip for NWTG but found YLS to much like a Calvin Kelin "One" ad (as in the unisex scent). Any other critics on video clips? The first MLE song I heard was LTWID back in '88. I was only a young thing back then but I really liked the song. I had a hits of '89 cassette with this song on it. I didn't hear any thing else of hers until 94 when CTMW was getting a fair bit of air play. About that time I met my 1st g/f and she had MLE's full collection (except YLS which hadn't been released) and i was soon turned into a full-on Melissa Fan - unintentionally i think.

Y'know, it sure is great to see some ME discussion's going on around here! woooooohoooooo!! *doing the happy dance!* btw, chef (yours trully) leaves for a 2 week trip to France in just 2 more days, and is VERY excited! :-) enuff about that! On to the discussion questions! beachdeb asked: >Does everyone remember where they heard their FIRST Melissa song and which one it was????< Absolutely deb! It was BMSW , and I was in a womyn's bar in Wilmington, De. MLE changed my life that night! :) Kathy wrote >>Then, a short time later, a friend asked if I wanted to go to a little club called The Whiskey in West Hollywood to hear this new singer, Melissa Etheridge...the rest is history.<< ahhhh...Kathy. I must say only one thing to this......aaaaaahhhhhhh!! I'm soooooo jealous!!!!! My dear friend Jill asked: >>What..in your humble opinions..is the best song Melissa has written to date. What is the song..no matter how many times your hear..you instinctively reach over and increase the volume on....(and the part of the question you always hated attatched to the end of the essay question)...and why?<< Best song written to date, IMHO: Nowhere To Go. It's a beautiful song full of love, but with commentary on the world too. "and they don't understand what they don't see, and they look thru you , and they look past me.." this adresses the ignorance out there, IMO. many just choose not to see. if they don't see, it doesn't affect them. "dance with me forever, this moment is divine I'm so close to heaven, this hell is not mine" ever get the feeling you don't want a moment to end? the world is a faraway place, and you want it to stay like this always..... >>What is the song..no matter how many times you hear..you instinctively reach over and increase the volume on...and why?<< Jill...we're you an english lit teacher in a previous life? ;-) So much of MLE's music ahs touched me, and in many ways. The one song that always will be that "crank it up" song for me is Ain't it Heavy. "sometime I know that it's never enough, survival is fine but satisfaction is rough" these words reached out to me during an especially difficult time in my life. and... "I'm feelin' kinda loose I'm feelin' kinda mean I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned 17...or, is it madness tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace when does the fury and the agony cease how long have I got to say please?" soul-wrenching, agonizing, and cleansing all at the same time. when I can't find sense in life's twists and turns, this song always brings me back to center. and , as usual, breathes life into my burning heart and soul. thanks Melissa. :) Yet another humble opinion. peace to all, chefdeb ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 09:01:27 EDT From: "Jane Vaughn" Subject: *etheridge* Re: Favorite Songs Hey gang welcome back! Why do I keep hearing the song: "We Shall Overcome" running through my head! Anyway, first song I heard was: BMSW heard it on a local radio. I had that voice in myhead and had to find out who it belonged to. The rest of course is herstory! I think the one song that makes me pump up the volume is: Precious Pain and Late September Dogs. There is so much passion flowing there. Of course I will be the first to admit that anytime Melissa hits the my radio or CD player, the volume goes up along with my heart rate! How many times have you been in the spaghetti ailse and heard her come on the radio and got swept away right there with the angel hair pasta????

Just one album...I would have to say YLS...there were so many songs that I could relate to..."Shriner's Park", the first place I took my first (and only) g/f was a park called Serrania Park, after our first "date". We played on the swings walked for awhile, had our first hug...had NO idea where things were going and really wanted to make some sense of it. 13 1/2 yrs later, we're still together, so, I guess we did figure it out. "Nowhere To Go", there really wasn't anywhere we could go...we spent alot of time in the car, parked in some dimly lit area in the outskirts of town, where no one could hear a scream of passion... "All the Way to Heaven"...I love that song! The first time I felt that "heaven" was with this same person, I Wanna Come Over"...she lived at home at the time, and I couldn't be with her whenever I wanted, so I used to park in the dark at look at where I knew her room was...watch the lights go out...just watch... And, last but not least, Unusual Kiss...for the obvious reasons. She caught me TOTALLY off guard in the kitchen of her family home for our first kiss, her parents were in the next room watching television...the danger, the softness of her face (after being married to a gentle, but bristlefaced man...)it was a most unusual kiss. Most of my friends that are Melissa fans disagree with me and really prefer her earlier stuff. I don't think she has ever put out an album where her heart and soul didn't go into each song. I just think that there is a little more of her spirit and a certain very human vulnerability to her last offering. Man, did I just spill my guts or what? Pull my string, and stand back!!

How rude of me! So..I join my agreement with others that say it's very difficult to pick her best song..since I'm no musician..I have to chose emotionally. That song that consistantly touches my soul is Keep It Precious. It's the most "grown up" song I've ever heard about ending a relationship..the senitment is incredible..the poetry not bad at all..and the unique placement of the common words "Keep It Precious" gives me chills...who would've thought to put those words together? "In prophesy, all good things must end..so take care my love, my friend..keep it precious"...and ending without an ending..an aknowledgment of a shift in the relationship without bitterness or regret...painful but healing. Kind of a dismal view of relationships..but not all loves end with divorce...but they all end somewhere along the line. Having said that...with gun to head I would have to chose Yes I Am.. I couldn't go on without "Talking To My Angel".

I was hooked right then and there, but believe it or not, I didn't know it was Melissa - so I asked who it was - the neph says, It's Melissa Etheridge - I was like oh wow, I didn't know she sounded that good. Sooo, the next day, I bought Yes I Am, then in less than a month I bought the other three and the rest they say is history. Well, that's my lil' story boys and girls.....'til next time.....

Hello there in Melissa-land! I am a Dutch Melissa fan, reading all your Melissa related and unrelated messages for already a couple of months. Now I finally find the "courage" to respond. :-) Pooh asked when did you hear Melissa for the first time: Well it was in November 1988, hey I actually saw her as well AT THE SAME TIME :-) It was on the Dutch TV, I had never heard of her before. She did two songs, BMSW and LTWID. I liked them both, but the lyrics of LTWID made me turn up the volume of my little tv in my bedroom. WOOOW, a girl with a guitar playing ROCK-songs. I was impressed, I felt I had to find out more about her. And so I did, since that time I am a huge fan, NOONE can EVER beat that woman singing and playing!!;-) What do you think Melissa was thinking about when she wrote the some Come To My Window??? Well as the most of you know, I do as well, it's about Julie and how she was dealing with her thoughts and feelings about Julie when she was spending lots of time "on the road" to please her fans all over the world. And do you think anyone else could have done a better job in the video??? I think J. Lewis did a good job, it's hard to "act" the feelings that people feel when listing to a song or write one. What do you think a new video will be about? I hope, just like the most of us, that there will be a compilation someday :-). And then, just like the IG video compilation, with Melissa saying a few things about the songs or whatever!! Ever notice when she sings how few cavities she has when she open her mouth and holds that note??? Hey, Pooh, that you have such a "close" and "good" view when she is singing? Do you think she will make her voice change with the songs in the Joplin movie since Joplin did scream alot??? I personally hope she DOESN'T, she has a GREAT voice please let she keep it that way! I think she does a good job when she sings it just like she does it right now when she covers Janis songs! Do ya think she will try Southen Comfort? Sorry WHAT?? As I am Dutch, I don't know what it is so I don't know what to answer here. Will she trade in her BMW for a Porche??? I think they are both made for her. Maybe when she's tired of the BMW she tries a Porche???? Will she wear fake tattoos? Wear fake tattoos?I don't care, if she wants to have them, GO and GET IT!! Listen to YLS, in two songs she's talking about them.Maybe someday she wil have one or not. Will she wear feathers in her hair like Joplin did and make it alot darker? If she wants to play Janis in the movie and wants to look like her, she has to. In "real" life I don't mind dark or light, she looks good with BOTH! Well I finish off now my first e-mail to you guys. Promise I will be back some day soon!!

I went nuts. I bought all of her CD's up to that point and a friend bought me tickets to her concert in 1993 in Orlando, Fl. I had 6th row center. I say that she made the peace sign back at me, but my sister is the only one who really believes me (she was there :) ) I used to only listen to her, constantly. It seemed like every single song had some kind of meaning to my life, like she had been exactly where I was before and knew just how I felt. I read an excerpt of an article a long time ago about her. In it, she was asked about who she writes her songs about (or something like that anyway) and she said that she tried not to put too many he's or she's, just you's because she wanted the songs to mean something to everyone. I read that when I had first heard her, and I thought that was so fabulous of her. People always said (when I mentioned her) "Isn't she gay?" I always said that yes, she was, but she was also a human being with an amazing passion and voice. I can't really pick one song...it depends on my mood. I really like the song "I Take You With Me" cause my boyfriend lives far away. And "Bring Me Some Water" cause I love to dance around my living room singing at the top of my lungs (my dog really loves this), and feeling that amazing power coming out of her mouth start to kick in, like some kind of drug. I just really love her, I wish she would come to Spain. :( Court ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 08:08:11 -0700 From: "David and Glenna Johnson" Subject: *etheridge* Only One?

MLE: When I was first being interviewed, I didn't know what to say to that because it conjured up big pictures - bra burning, that sort of thing. As more time went on, I started to understand what feminism was. It's just the right of equality: professionally and personally and politically. It's so reasonable, and the bra burning image was actually created by the media because there was backlash. So, yes, I would say that I'm definitely a feminist. =================== also, GREAT to see old time listers returning to the fold...shout outs to peter (geez, it's been a looong time since i've seen you post. i like your domain name - mindless.com ) and our new mommy, trace (yeah, i know that i owe you mail). welcome back, you two! :-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 22:07:22 -0400 (EDT) From: catherine donkers Subject: *etheridge* our favs. I have lots of favorites for all different reasons... First song I heard was CTMW on the radio in 94, but didn't realize who sang it, nor do I think I remembered. I didn't really know who she was then. Then a friend of mine and I were at a Taco Bell parking lot listening to YIA, and the first i heard was SL. I was completely moved by the message contained in that song, I had to hear more. IWNBTS is one I instinctively turn the volume up on that album. I didn't used to like track 8, but have come to love it with all the rest. (You know how sometimes something/someone seems just average at first, but the more you are wround it/him/her the more you like it/him/her?... the more you fall in love with it/him/her?...) After hearing all of YIA, I went out to Border's and listened to all of Missy's self-titled album. after hearing track 1, SF, I was hooked. especially after hearing LTWID, PP, and DYN. One hit after another. And then Occasionally and Watching you. And apparently, I hadn't even heard the "smash hit" yet, labeled on the front cover as BMSW. Wow! You mean, it gets better? Well, later, I thought no... just another mindset that picks out one song from someone's album and labels it a hit, whilst ignoring all the other great music on that album. Radio stations being notorious for this as they play the same stuff over and over again and don't introduce you to any "new" stuff for already-known artists... (anyhow, off the subject here.) After hearing all of the self-titled album, I was sold--literally. I bought every album I could find (except Never Enough, which I didn't find as I found out later). With my nice 12-cd changer in the car trunk (that i could not do without!), i often will put just all of missy in there and put it on random and sing my heart out down the freeway for hours along with her. if you see somebody crazy out there w/ a Michigan license plate tapping furiously and strumming an imaginary guitar, it could be me. Brave And Crazy--most definitely No Souvenirs, My Back Door. At a time in my life when I was just about to give up on my relationship with someone who is 12.5 years older than me (it's difficult essentially being from a different generation), Keep It Precious was very important to me. A friend of mine owned this CD (Never Enought). I was over at his house, and he was listening to me open up to him about my relationship that I just had lost so much faith in. He helped me through this roller-coaster time of mine. It was this CD he had playing when I walked in the door. It was only on track 1. I wasn't fond of it (although this is the one I crank up today and will play 20x in a row--thank God for the repeat button), so I ran through the beginnings of all the songs until I came across one that I liked. It's bizarre looking back on it now since I adore Missy tremendously, yet I didn't like any of the tracks until #8 (Keep It Precious). I think, in hindsight, I wasn't in the mood for a rock song--i wanted something that expressed what i was feeling at the moment. This was the song that hit me way down deep inside like a 2x4. Then I heard the following song, as most of you probably know already as The Letting Go. And I just felt so at peace and okay after talking about my feelings and hearing this song. I cried. I didn't want to give up, but I felt it was the only way. When it's a one-way street as far as aspirations for a relationship, there's nothing you can do about it but hope. I told myself I let go, but I really hadn't inside. This tore me up for about a year and a half. Psychologically, I have survived. (Fortunately, it's all worked out in the end, and I never had to let go). And it's Keep It Precious and The Letting Go that always remind me of that time period in my life. [later I came to love every song on that album.] Missy grows on me somehow. ITYWM I would play over and over again relentlessly. I can never get too much of this one (nor any of them for that matter, to be honest.) YLS was given to me as a gift--and at first, I dislike most of the album. Yet this time, I wasn't in any "wrong" or "difficult" moods. So why didn't I like it (less NTG)? I haven't the faintest clue. But now, I listen to it over and over and over. And I just get so absolved in the music and I'm in another world it seems. I'm in a world where everything is okay and it's okay to express feelings of love and it's okay to tell others your hopes and dreams. Like I said, she grows on me. Okay, so perhaps because I listen to her sometimes for weeks over and over again, and I have posters of her all over and Shanks' autograph amongst other stuff hanging near my pink fluorescent "U" that some may believe this borders obsession... Oh nonsense! Okay, so it is. So what? So I'm obsessed. What can I say? There I said it. I'm totally jealous that I wasn't born in 1961 in Kansas or hadn't lived in Long Beach and gone to the Que in the 80s. I don't mean to say that I don't wish Missy any happiness with Julie--that would be bordering psychotic. I'm quite very well happy in my almost 4-year relationship (though it's been rocky at points due to the age difference). That doesn't mean to say that every now and then I don't think "God I wish I was born in Kansas in 1961." Anyway, this is most long (haven't posted but a couple times about a year ago)... and I probably didn't answer any of the topic questions.. that's typical. leave it to me to ramble and tell my whole life story to the world. I've got to stop doing that!!

As do all her songs, it struck to the bone because at the time I was fallin in love and thats all I wanted to do was "come over". On puchasing and listening to all the other CDs, I realize that Melissa must be "coming to my window" because she is writing my life. I can't imagine a day without hearing at least one complete CD and having her reach in and tenderly take my soul into her hands, giving me more pleasure each time. Love the change in tone on here.

I can remember the first time ever( I heard Melissa's voice) that is. I was at a music store looking for some more Van Morrison when they were playing the first CD in the store. The song just happened to be "Like The Way I Do" I was totally blown away by that voice. I just stopped where I was and listened to the rest of the song and had to go up and ask "Whose voice is that"? and they showed me the CD they were playing and I had to have it then and there, and the rest they say is herstory! That has been my favorite song since then because of the length and the power of the song. hi ayce, I love you. Hi JoAnn, Sharon,Deb, Randy have a great day all!

So did the subject line get your attention? I was pondering here this morning a little (look out Pooh!) and wondering what might be in the wildest *musical* fantasies surrounding Melissa Etheridge. Get your minds out of the gutter!! What would be the perfect venue for our Lady Of Etheridge...is it an outdoor concert in the forest...Carnegy Hall...an eighteenth century church in Germany..aboard a cruise ship in Alaska..someone's living room? Make it good..it doesn't count to just say "my living room"... the ever present former English Lit teacher in another life asks "Why"!!! And who makes up the band...her current band? Sarah McLachlan's upright bass player on her new CD? Kenny G (no eggs...a sax player might be cool!!)?? And of course, what do you want her to sing? Now, beware she's just a human being so don't keep her up there for 15 hours singing everything under the sun! Is it covers? Old stuff, new stuff? Is Bruce going to join her? Go at it!! And enjoy the day.

Was intrigued but not really hooked, not enough to go out and buy the CD. More singles were played on the radio: LTWID and then probably my favourite etheridge tune of all time Don't You Need. DYN evokes images and an atmosphere, a feat that is hard to do in an unimaginative mind such as mine. THAT song made me go out to buy the CD and is the one I have to crank up the volume for everytime it's played (well, ok, not only 'cause I like it but also because I can barely hear her sing in the soft sections if I don't 8^) ) still don't know about the single-desert-island-CD thing. cannot decide. Jill asked: > And who makes up the band...her current band? Sarah McLachlan's > upright bass player on her new CD? I couldn't resist replying to this. Just yesterday my sister was playing what she and her friends call "six degrees of canadian bacon" and Jim Creeggan, formerly of the Bare-Naked Ladies, was her final link to Sarah McLachlan (sis' coworker at a summer job went to high school with creeggan - - in case you were interested 8^) ). I suppose this means that I, also, am within the six degrees to McLachlan??

Well, on my new server I have a lot more space to work with (and it's very inexpensive), my pages are a bit easier to navigate (the extra "//" may have confused some people, and some web browsers as well), and I wasn't too pleased with the way NAIS handled RealAudio files (this is not so much for my #Etheridge page, but for one of my other pages).

I think I would have to hear: All The Way To Heaven. Do ya think Melissa ever wear 501's????? How bout flannel shirts? I wonder if she ever sings around a campfire. Wouldn't that be a site! A gazillion stars shining in the sky and a full moon up above, a warm fire blazing on a fall evening and the sound of a single 12 string guitar. And a voice that is sent to us on the wings of angels. I don't know if I could think of a better place I would like to hear the new lullaby. And truly one could die a happy camper! Well thatis my little journey of the mind tonight.

I don't know if this sounds dumb or not, but I don't like it when Melissa tries to sound like Janis Joplin. Like at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. I like Melissa singings Janis's songs in her own style. For example, Me and Bobby MeGee on the 10 Years of Covers boot or on VH1's Roots of Rock and Roll show. >Favorite Song When I lived in Ohio a long time ago, my girlfriend and I had a terrible time trying to find a place to be together. I lived on the other side of town and she lived with her parents. We spent a lot of time finding dark corners around the Ohio State campus. When I first heard Nowhere to Go, all those memories came rushing back and it made me want to cry.

I was going through a really rough break up w/ my ex, and that song put my feelings into words. I would set my cd player on repaet song and listen to it for hours.... I think my second favorite song is "Silent Legacy." That describes my family life, almost to a "t." I got into Melissa when I heard CTMW on the radio. A couple friends of mine were MAJOR ME fans, so they turned me on to her, and the Indigo Girls, too. What other groups do MEListers like?I like: The Wallflowers U2 Indigo Girls Deep Blue Something Smash Mouth Meryl Bainbridge Alanis Morrisette Joan Osborne The Cranberries Verve Pipe Gina G. Quad City DJ's Michael W. Smith Amy Grant Elton John Some Bands/artists I cnt think of their names right now, but the songs I like are: Where have all the Cowboys Gone? Insensitive Mary Moon I Want You (male singer, real fast words, one of the lines says something about swimming with a rain coat....) Birmingham.... the one about the woman who leaves her abusive husband.... I like music that has a moral or political message to it.... something that says something about our culture or society. (That's one of the reasons I like U2, they started out as a punk band, and in some ways, they still "Rage against the Machine.") Think Melissa and "2001." If that isn't political, what is?? Gotta go.

Anyone out there who has tried taking night classes while maintaining a full-time job can understand the havoc it can create. Anyway, just went through 2 (or was it 3) weeks of email. I apologize for bringing up a crappy subject and wondering off into la-la land. Just for the record, I did not mean that MLE *actually has* trouble breathing, but I was refering to the use of that idea in lyrics (bravo Martina!). Obviously, the count is against me, but the notion was sparked by the recent posting of the new lullaby. (Of course I can't find it now that I want to reference it!) I like it overall, but I was/am disappointed that MLE sometimes uses such wornout expressions (see "Barely Breathing" ala Duncan Sheik). Where are the imaginary gems like the legendary "jackpot telephone" or even "the paint's still wet in your do-it-by-number dream?" These offbeat creations are one of the things I enjoy most about her music. Whenever she uses something more commonplace, I am disappointed. Now that I hope I have expressed my point a little better, on to more interesting MLE things. Which CD of MLE's? --YIA is my fave, but I would have to go with B&C if I only had one CD. (I am assuming that concert boots with 2 CDs don't count.:)) Favorite song? --I guess I would choose NS because I love the bridge (in some weird way, it kind of reminds me of patter from a musical) and Shriner's Park because of the images it conveys, the deep current of emotion that it rides on, and again, the bridge. Musical fantasy/bandmembers? --My MLE musical fantasy would be playing in her band and creating music with her both on tour and in the studio. So, I guess I would be on bass (or for someone *much* better, Me'Shell OmygodIcantspellthis), Kenny still on drums (or the guy from Rush), Eddie VanHalen on lead guitar, Ray Cooper on percusion, and occasional visits by John Popper on harmonica and Clarence Clemmons on sax.

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* joplin movie mentioned in "Grapevine" column here's a mention from the "Grapevine" column by marilyn beck, stacy jenel smith and stephanie dubois (in today's San Jose Mercury News). there's really nothing new and different (in fact, it appears that the "news" is a bit stale), except that the column states that the movie will start in february and not january as earlier reported in Variety. "Melissa Etheridge appears to be winning the duels of the Janis Joplin film biographies. A February start date has now been set for 'Piece of My Heart,' the Paramount picture that will have the rock songstress stepping into the persona of the late, legendary Joplin. Melissa has been so red hot to play the blues mama, she's even gone out and performed with Joplin's old band, Big Brother and the Holding Company. Adding to her desire to push the movie forward is the fact that her partner, Julie Cypher, scripted it. The film company has commenced casting for its supporting roles - a gallery of notable names of the 1960s rock world from Country Joe McDonald to Joplin's (and Bob Dylan's) manager, Albert Grossman. There was talk that Melissa's good buddy Brad Pitt might come in and do a cameo as Kris Kristofferson, Joplin's onetime lover and the writer of her hit 'Me and Bobby McGee.' We'll have to wait and see about that." *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Oct 1997 15:55:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Ally3223@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* our favs. Hi all. I am new to this list, so I am going to jump right in on this topic. The first song I ever heard was "Bring me some water" I was probably in Jr High, and I didn't like it (what the hell did I know). In high school I worked at a music store, and one of my co-workers played "Brave and Crazy" a lot. Well, that was all I needed. I think it was "No Souvenirs" that really hooked me. B&C remains my favorite album, and now BMSW is one of my favorite songs. My other top favorites are "Like the Way I Do," "You Can Sleep While I Drive," "The Angels," "The Letting Go" and "Come to My Window" (which is a song I really disliked at one time. Why? I'll never know). I have seen ME seven times in concert. The first time was at a house which seats about 1100 people and the most recent at a place which seats about 16,000.

I suppose that I would have to pick some small place in LA (because that's what I know). The Wiltern comes to mind, because that's where I first saw her, but I don't know if that's good. I think I would have to go with the John Anson Ford theatre, where I just saw Shawn Colvin. It is a tiny, outdoor place that looks like a place where they would show Shakespeare (oh wait, they do show Shakespeare there). Anyway. The accoustics are amazing, there isn't a bad seat, there are only about 25 rows, etc... As for the set. Well, going from album to album (and trying not to be greedy): "Bring Me Some Water," "Like the Way I Do, "Don't You Need," "Similar Features," "No Souvenirs," "The Angels," "You Can Sleep...," "The Letting Go," "Meet me in the Back," "Never Enough," "Come to My Window," "Yes I Am," "Talking to my Angel," "All American Girl," "I'm the only One," "Your Little Secret," "An Unusual Kiss, "All the Way to Heaven" I would also like to throw in "Me and Bobby McGee," "Maggie May" and of course a Bruce appearance. A repeat of "Thunder Road" would be ideal. Bruce is my all time favorite artist, and Thunder Road is my favorite song, so naturally.... That brings the count to 21, and that would be my dream show, especially since I have never see her do "The Angels" or "The Letting Go" But I'm not bitter. As for band members....I am not familiar enough with band members to really know, but the guy who I saw do violin, harmonica, sax, and many other instruments for the Indigo Girls in July would definitely be a welcome addition to any concert. ally ****************************************************************** * 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, 20 Oct 1997 18:58:13 -0400 (EDT) From: SEGNARP@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* ok..im not sure.. here i am again..writing... im not sure how to post to the etheridge digest... you sent me a PERSONAL response, which leads me to believe that this will either BE in the whole etheridge digest thing...or else..i did this WRONG...

Hello MElisters, Nice to see so many questions posted now! Musical fantasy? It would be great to see her in a little club with Kevin M. back on bass, playing Late Sept. Dogs. Or on a city street corner just after sunset, backed by the cacaphony of traffic and crowds, singing just about any of her songs, and one cover - Bob Seger's Mainstreet. Why? ... There's a CD called Concert 101 that has her telling a story about how, when someone throws a t-shirt on stage, it looks like an airplane to her because of the stage lights in her eyes. Everyone's laughing. Then without further transition, she sings the first line to Don't You Need and nothing matters but that voice. I think the atmosphere of the city [no, I don't mean smog ;) ] would suit her energy level, and, as on the 101 CD, once she started singing, all the noise would fade into the background. IMHO, all of her songs may not be masterpieces (I'm not referring to DYN, that's one of my favorites), but she has absolute command as a performer. I hadn't thought of the mountains, mostly because when I'm on the trail I like the silence, but I love Pooh's idea - MLE and her Ovation by a campfire, backed by tree frogs and katydids. She could sing Rocky Mountain High. Some harmonies would be nice too - maybe Amy & Emily (IG) could join in - 'cause they sing the most amazing harmonies! > If you had to choose one Melissa CD and only one, > which one would you choose??? Brave & Crazy, not a song on there that had to grow on me - i loved them all from the start... although like Turtle, I'd have to have a mix tape. Too many other songs I'd have to hear! > What is the song..no matter how many times you hear..you > instinctively reach over and increase the volume on.... You Used to Love to Dance. Nice dynamics, IMO perfect interplay between drums, bass, guitar, and of course, that voice - from the opening note and muted strings on the ovation to those sha-la-la's at the end and the way the drums kick in before the second set of sha-la's... the way the lyrics tell a story and then end up lost in the music... But it's cruel to have to choose just one song! Late Sept. Dogs, Royal Station, Brave & Crazy, If I Wanted To, Shriner's Park, the list goes on... :) Melissa with feathers and fake tatoos? Don't forget beads. The feathers I remember, but did Janis have tatoos? Either way, I can't wait for the movie. To hear MLE sing Ball & Chain and Turtle Blues, to see the concert sequences on the big-screen (next best thing to live)... I understand the concerns about artists crossing over into other fields, but judging from Janis' obvious influence on MLE and the passion in both their performances, I think this is a great first role for MLE. I don't think she needs to change her voice too much, maybe sing a little higher and add a slight Texas twang. :) She already does great versions of Piece of My Heart and Bobby McGee. > If you were on a deserted island without the skipper or gilligan! > And a boat came sailing in with a singer named Etheridge what song > would be your first request??? Does the island have to be deserted? I ask that because I think it would be cool to hear her and the band play Vahevala, and then with the congas still playing, go right into If I Wanted To... and everyone could dance along the beach. Kathy StGermain, 13 1/2 years - congrats! Nice to hear a story like that.

Aren*t there supposed to be four a year? They didn*t send me one with my membership package when i joined, & i wrote them twice about this, & both times they said one was on the way, but i never got it. Got the next one, but nothing since. Gotta say, i*m not too impressed with them. You go to their site, they still have all the stuff about buying concert tickets, even tho that was a year ago, i just don*t think they put much effort into what they do. On the other hand, i DO like the new chat part of their site. & i was TOTALLY happy with the tickets i got thru them for the three Melissa shows i attended - 2nd row twice!! & one of those we were right in front of her mike! & we got sixth row to her left the third time, an excellent spot!! & all three times we were able to make it to the little stage for a good view. i would say it was worth my membership fee, just for the tickets i got, but other than that, don*t think i*d bother. By the time i paid the exchange from canadian money for the membership, it was an expensive purchase, that i just counted as part of the ticket price, & worth every penny, that way. Think i*ll wait til she*s touring again, to renew.***barb*** * * * ~ barb biagi ~ * * * * * * * ~ barbb@mars.ark.com ~ * * * * * * * * * * * ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 12:13:38 PDT From: "Theresa Dawson" Subject: *etheridge* My ME Fantasy I apologize for not being prompt with my response the recent questions. I have just finished going through everything that I have received for the past week. I'm a newbie (to the list that is), don't hold that against me. This is fantastic, the conversations have been incredible. This is my first response to the list so bare with me. I could never limit myself to just one song. I like to travel thus I could go through every album on one trip, and then some and still be content. It doesn't matter what album, doesn't matter what song, it all captures my attention. I do have to admit that I chose certain songs and certain points in my life (Rarely). The first time I heard the phenomenal voice of Melissa Etheridge was when I on my way to Christiansburg with a group of friends crammed into a small car. (I had to ride on the hump). We were all squished but it didn't seem to matter to anyone. The album that was playing was Never Enough. I had been in college for about a year and it was great. I was sort of living the lifestyle I so desired (or that I was not permitted to at home). It is great being attached to such a moment. The fantasy that I have of Melissa Etheridge seems to be simple one or maybe not. When you guys mentioned the beach it was crazy that our ideas begin in a similar manner. It would be incredible to be sitting on the beach with my friends (of course Melissa is in my clique), campfire, tents, beer, marshmallows (o.k. so maybe not marshmallows and beer, I don't think they go well together, just beer, but it's my fantasy and anything can happen. Don't I wish). Any way, we are hanging out feeling very relaxed with our feelings and emotions, clumsily strumming our guitars, being creative with our words and enjoying the company and stories of each other. Everyone contributes to the atmosphere. But to make this sound like a fantasy, something off the wall must happen. Of course Melissa's newest album would be made from this experience. A collection of songs by Melissa's closest friends and me being one of them. I then write a book on our experience and become wealthy and live happily ever after. - --Jill, you made me think to much! I think it was a good thing but I can't seem to concentrate on school or work. I only want to wake up, turn on my computer and read. At this point I should be saying thanks. - --Pooh, you express so much passion. Or perhaps Melissa brings out the passion. - --Deb, I take it that you like the beach. I'm new so I don't know much about you guys. - --I guess the album I listen to the most would have to be YLS because it is new and I have to spend quality time with that one as well as the others I have broken in.

It would be incredible to be sitting on the beach with my friends (of course Melissa is in my clique), campfire, tents, beer, marshmallows (o.k. so maybe not marshmallows and beer, I don't think they go well together, just beer, but it's my fantasy and anything can happen. Don't I wish). Any way, we are hanging out feeling very relaxed with our feelings and emotions, clumsily strumming our guitars, being creative with our words and enjoying the company and stories of each other. Everyone contributes to the atmosphere. But to make this sound like a fantasy, something off the wall must happen. Of course Melissa's newest album would be made from this experience. A collection of songs by Melissa's closest friends and me being one of them. I then write a book on our experience and become wealthy and live happily ever after. - --Jill, you made me think to much! I think it was a good thing but I can't seem to concentrate on school or work. I only want to wake up, turn on my computer and read. At this point I should be saying thanks. - --Pooh, you express so much passion. Or perhaps Melissa brings out the passion. - --Deb, I take it that you like the beach. I'm new so I don't know much about you guys. - --I guess the album I listen to the most would have to be YLS because it is new and I have to spend quality time with that one as well as the others I have broken in.

The singer sold her Tudor-style Beverly Hills home, which boasts five bedrooms and a pool, for $3.2 million. The couple, who became parents of a baby girl in February, are now scouring the Hollywood Hills for a larger house to buy together. A real estate agent explains, "Melissa wants to find the perfect home where she and her companion can raise their daughter. They are currently renting until the right house comes along." Etheridge also sold a West Hollywood home earlier this year for $470,000 and another property for $1.3 million last year. Meanwhile, there is more good news for the rocker. She is set to be the first one to hit the screen playing JANIS JOPLIN. Rival studios were rushing to get biopics based on the rock songstress to the big screen. But PIECE OF MY HEART, which will star Etheridge, looks set to get out of the gate before a competing project which is set to star LILI TAYLOR. Etheridge will start shooting next February in the role that has been scripted by long tern love Cypher. TRISTAR have put their offering on hold indefinitely now that PARAMOUNT's project has an official start date. *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 19:44:49 -0400 (EDT) From: LMYERS2HOU@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* *Etheridge* musical fantasy Okay, It's summer and I am on a horseback pack trip in the West Elk Wilderness of Colorado. (Something I have done many times) There are two women on the packtrip, and one carefully supervises the loading of a guitar onto a pack mule. Of course, that would be Melissa and Julie. Melissa has dyed her hair dark brown and Julie's is blonde, so I'm the only one who recognises them. However, I don't let on like I know who they are out of respect for their privacy.There are only about ten people on the packtrip including the guides and outfitter. Melissa and Julie are having a great time and joke along with the rest of us and gaze in awe at the beautiful scenery.The first evening around the campfire, Melissa takes out her guitar and plays a few cowboy songs and impresses everyone with how good she is. Then she plays a few old favorite songs of some of the people there. Each evening she plays more songs until finally she is playing some of her own songs, some of which are new. I request a few of my favorites among them "I Will Never Be the Same," and she knows that I know who she is, but it is our little secret. By the end of the packtrip a few others know who she is but all respect her privacy. Besides, she is so down to earth that it is hard to think of her as a celebrity. Okay, it is a fantasy, you know.

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* MLE collectors - silly anecdote i have some info that you collectors out there might be interested in. this saturday, i went to the SF bay area music collectors' expo, a big 2-day show that occurs about 3 times a year about 5 minutes from my apartment. i wore a MLE tour shirt to help make my interests known. along the way, i snagged a couple of MLE items: a couple of promos ("the angels" and "if i wanted to" [night and day versions]) and a press kit from the ME album. i did see a few boots, but nothing new that i hadn't seen numerous times before. i was almost near the end of my first loop through the exhibit hall, when i found this table that had some MLE backstage passes for sale. i started talking to the guy manning the table, and he told me that he had a ton of MLE collectible stuff. will (the guy) invited me over to his side of the table to check it out. very cool... first, i did get to lovingly caress a YIA tour leather motorcycle jacket that was only made for the crew/band members, but unfortunately the cost was rather prohibitive - $1,000 - so i was unable to add this tasty item to my collection. oh, well. will and i sat down behind his table, and he asked me how long i'd been a fan. he asked me if i knew kevin and fritz, and i replied, "well, not *personally*, but i know who they are." ;-) turns out that will works with kevin and fritz. that's when i noticed that will was wearing a jackson browne "looking east" embroidered tour shirt. i regaled will with stories about the YCSWID tour, talking to MLE at the lapiduss play, and seeing her and jackson at the sedona show. then, will pulled out his goodie box. it was filled with tour itineraries, promo postcards (from ME, B&C, and NE), and album flats (ME and NE). i started wading through the tour itineraries (and actually may have answered peter's question from last week) - i noticed that everything that he had was from the NE tour and earlier, with the exception of some YIA tour itineraries and the motorcycle jacket. the only YLS tour-related item he had was a MLE "stork" pick. as i stated earlier, he also had some backstage passes (cloth, handpainted, and laminates) - mostly VIP ones and a few band ones. the gears started turning in my head...he knows kevin and fritz...he has exclusive band stuff...hmm...wonder who he got this from? ;-) well, will didn't actually tell me that he got this stuff from kevin and fritz and i didn't outright ask him, but it doesn't hurt to speculate, now does it? btw, i did buy a tour itinerary, some album flats, and promo postcards from him. i also told will that i'd pass on his phone number (not toll-free) to a bunch of MLE fans. will does mail order (and accepts credit cards ), but he doesn't have a catalog since he turns the stuff over so quickly. he also has crew tour clothing and posters. so, if you're interested in contacting will, write me privately, and i'll pass on his info. silly anecdote: many vendors pointed out their MLE stuff to me, since they saw me wearing my MLE t-shirt. one guy talked to me about the janis movie, too. near the end of my time at the show, a hippie-like, yet clean-cut guy tapped me on the shoulder, said that he noticed my melissa shirt, and had to tell me a story. he told me that he corresponded frequently with sheila kuell, former actress (dobie gillis show) and current CA assemblywoman. sheila told him that a conservative congressman told her a joke: "what do you call a 100 armed lesbians?" sheila replied, "am i going to like this?" the congressman said, "just give it a chance." sheila said, "ok, what do you call a 100 armed lesbians?" the congressman replied, "militia etheridge." at this point, i chuckled politely to the hippie guy, and walked away. ;-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Oct 1997 00:28:14 -0800 From: "Rhondda L. Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* 10/04/97 - 8th annual music festival - sedona, arizona - part 2 * show recap * when we last left our fearless threesome, they were waiting patiently for the headliner of the 8th annual music festival in sedona, arizona...who was...um......oh, yeah! :-) * melissa! * melissa's set began at 4:25 pm and finished at 5:20 pm. here's the set list - i'll even spell it out for those of you who are acronym-impaired : chrome plated heart come to my window you can sleep while i drive i want to come over yes i am nowhere to go all the way to heaven like the way i do encore: piece of my heart * fashion report * you didn't think we'd forget this very important item, now do you? braving the hot arizona sun, melissa dressed all in black: black long sleeved shirt with white stitching, black pants of some sort (the intrepid reporters are still in disagreement about what kind they were...we're torn between black suede pants and black jeans), black cowboy boots, long dangling silver earrings, and a long silver necklace. * memorable moments * before her set, we discussed which songs melissa would play. using her "unplugged" show as a guide, we guessed that she'd open with CTMW, play YCSWID, ATWTH, and LTWID, and then close with POMH or a janis medley a la woodstock. since jackson had a piano on the stage, i wondered if she might throw in a piano song such as "weakness in me", but jib and kim were skeptical. i also speculated that she might premiere "a truthful lullaby." for the most part, we were pretty dead on! melissa greeted the crowd with "heellllooooo, sedona!" and launched into CPH. most of the crowd danced and sang along. it was apparent that jackson had made the correct choice by having melissa close the show. the audience who had been so well-behaved all day sitting in the sun started to fill in the center aisle. security had their hands full trying to keep the aisleway clear and seemed not to be prepared for the excited reaction of the rowdy melissa fans. during one of her mike breaks, melissa mentioned that she was concerned about being rusty, since she hadn't performed for about 9 months (the lapiduss' play and the LA sparks' game, notwithstanding ). "my hair's longer, and the calluses are gone." well, as she said later, it's just like "riding a bike." melissa seemed to feed off of the crowd's enthusiasm, giving a consistently powerful performance. one real surprise - the acoustic version of IWTCO. i'm not sure, but i guess that this is the first time that she's performed this one acoustically in public, right? during one or two of the early mike breaks, members of the audience who were located near the front yelled out requests - we heard shouts for "brave and crazy" and "must be crazy for me" (acoustic? that'd be interesting!). melissa listened to these requests without comment, before finally telling them firmly, "no." LOL! i'd been longing for melissa to sing YCSWID again ever since i last heard her do it during the YIA tour, so i was ecstatic when she did. and, geez, it's jib and my tour theme song, fer gawdsakes! inevitably, she did mess up the lyrics to one song - YIA (right after "come feed the hunger, the thirst..."), which i suppose is not too surprising after such a long break. she was able to keep singing the rest of the song without further incident. in a self-deprecating manner, melissa said that she had picked up her guitar the night before the show, figured out which songs she was going to sing, and wouldn't you know it, screwed up a line. as those of you who've been to her concerts before can attest, melissa has the uncanny ability to connect effortlessly with her audience. since this was a daytime concert, melissa spent a good amount of time looking at her fans. at one dramatic moment during her set (and we're not exactly sure when this was), kim, jib, and i were boogying down when melissa pointed *right* *to* *us*. EEK! :-O yeah, i know, i know...people always say that "she was pointing right at me" or "she was looking right at me". we're fairly certain that she did point to us, because most of the crowd in front of us, except for the very front row of the center section, was sitting down. did she recognize jib and i from the weekend before or maybe from one of the shows on the YCSWID tour? probably not, as we looked decidedly different at the sedona concert in our shorts and baseball caps (and sunburned skin ) than at those other events. it was most likely just a coincidence, but one that had us looking at each other incredulously nevertheless. while most of the crowd had been standing for her set, for some reason, one of the security guards motioned for the center section (where we were) to sit down. so, we sat down for about 3 songs. that was an experience in itself - sitting down at an etheridge concert! ;-) the audience on the sides stood for the duration, though. when someone yelled out "how's the family?", melissa replied, "the family's fine." she laughingly said that she was only writing songs like "it's 3:47 am, it's your turn to change the baby" and how much she missed people yelling at her (which caused us to do just that). at this point, i felt my heart leap into my throat - would she do "a truthful lullaby"? she's talking about bailey, after all! wouldn't this be the most amazingly beautiful place to premiere her new song? but, no, it wasn't meant to be - melissa began the familiar chords to ATWTH instead. one of the more thought-provoking moments occurred during one of melissa's last mike breaks. she mentioned all of the performers and talked about what a wonderful school verde valley was. after referring to keb' mo', melissa said, "i had a chance to get him for my band 6 years ago." hello?!?!?!? kim, jib, and i looked at each other, stunned at this revelation. has anyone ever heard this bit of news before? melissa thanked everyone and launched into her last number. the audience leaped to its feet again as she began the familiar opening riff to LTWID. wondering if she'd do the 17-minute version that she did during the latter part of the YLS tour, we timed it for the hell of it. melissa managed to do an 8-minute version, not bad all by herself. * encore * as the audience cheered for melissa to come back for an encore, we could see her standing to the side of the stage, drinking water and chatting with the MC. she turned back towards the audience (of course, it appeared that she was looking *right* *at* *us* yet again ) and mouthed, "do you want me to do one more?" we yelled, "YEAH!" so, melissa casually strolled out and strapped on an ovation. she introduced POMH by stating that it was the 27th anniversary of janis' death, and that she was going to be doing a movie about her life which would be coming out some time next year. melissa was very honored to portray janis and hoped that she would do justice to janis' life. melissa did an amazing version of POMH, including the "love is expensive / best 2 weeks you ever had / time to feed the dog / friends take me back to the bar" rap that she usually does in the middle. she threw in something about how new love is full of music, fireworks, and......tequila. she also referred to watching "x-files" and "cagney and lacey" on a saturday night rather than "the twilight zone" as she has in other versions. and i'd say that the 9 months off did her good, because when melissa hit that long scream at the end of POMH, i felt shivers run up and down my spine. after melissa finished POMH and waved goodbye to the audience, jib and i grinned like idiots at each other. all we could say was "wow!" seeing melissa perform again transported me instantly back to all of the amazing shows that jib and i saw during last year's YCSWID tour. it felt so right experiencing melissa's incredible performance with her. * all star jam * here's the set list... not fade away america the beautiful hearing the opening riff to "not fade away" felt rather deja vu-like to me because i've heard the dead cover this song at numerous concerts. i practically felt compelled to do the "dead shuffle." jackson sang the first verse and chorus, and then keb' took the 2nd. keb' motioned for melissa to sing the next verse. because keb' is so tall, the mike was arranged to match his height. we laughed as melissa tried to jump to reach the mike which towered over her head. keb' was having some problems with his guitar, so as the sound techs fiddled with the equipment, the band just jammed. the techs fixed whatever was wrong, and keb' added in some cool slide blues to the mix. "america the beautiful" was a true surprise, but yet so appropriate. surrounded by "the seven warriors", "cathedral rock", and the other outlying red rock buttes as the band began a funky slide blues version of the song that, IMHO, should be my country's national anthem, i was magically swept off my feet by the sheer natural beauty of the sedona area. jackson began ATB. then, keb' sang a verse, and said, "that was so good, let's do it again", prompting the audience to sing along with him. then, keb' motioned for melissa to sing a verse, so she stepped up to the mike (which thankfully had been lowered to her height ). melissa passionately belted out her verse. when she sang "god shed her grace on thee" and "crown thy good with sisterhood", the mostly female audience absolutely roared! * post-show * after the show, everyone had to line up for the buses back to the parking lots, so we just plunked ourselves down and waited for the crowd to die down. jib wanted to try to buy a crew t-shirt off of a crew member, so we went on a search and rescue mission as kim guarded all of our gear. jib managed to convince a teacher who was running one of the water booths to sell her crew t-shirt (and had to explain why she wanted it ), but we had to walk away from the venue before she would give it to jib. the teacher was concerned that one of her kids would see her in her jogging bra, so we walked to a place more secluded. by the time we got back, the crowd had thinned to a manageable size, so we queued up to board a bus to the parking lot. unfortunately, because of the concert (we assume), the Super-8 motel in sedona was sold out, so we had to drive about 20 miles to the room we had reserved at the Super-8 in cottonwood. * the motel * exhausted, we dragged our stuff to our room, and turned on the TV. before an image could appear on the TV, a most familiar voice emanated from the speakers. "HEY! that sounds like melissa!" i said. sure enough, we had arrived about halfway through "storytellers". how apropos! we tried looking for allison in the viper room audience, but jib said that we had already passed that portion of the show. we watched the rest of "storytellers", and then mustered some more energy to go out for some food. the 3 of us got dinner to-go from burger king, and went back to the room. i was ravenous, but also bone tired. too weary to even take showers to wash the red sedona dust off of our bodies, we crashed hard at about 11 pm, knowing that we had a long driving day ahead of us. * driving back to LA * surprisingly well-rested, we got up before 8 am, took showers, ate a complimentary bagel courtesy of the fabulous Super-8 , and hit the road at about 9:20 am. since we had taken the fast route to the show, we decided to take the more scenic route home. the hypotenuse of the triangle, i called it (assuming that I-17 and I-10 comprised the triangle's other 2 sides). ;-) we started climbing up a narrow 2-lane highway, gaining altitude quickly. before we knew it, we were about 2,000 feet above the valley floor. "don't drink and drive" signs periodically lined the highway. i mentioned that if another line had been added to the signs - "or else you'll plummet down the side of the nearest cliff" - then they might be more effective. kim periodically took pictures of the nearby scenery from the backseat. "it's like a movie!" she said looking through her camera as jib drove down the windy mountainous roads. we drove through a few more mountainous regions, continuously surprised at the gorgeous ever-changing landscapes. the familiar desert environment slowly started appearing the closer we got to the southern part of arizona. we did have to take a short detour because the highway we were going to originally take was washed out, apparently due to hurricane nora which had travelled through the area a little over a week before. to pass the long hours, we listened to numerous melissa boots, singing and laughing along. we also talked about our favorite TV shows when we were kids. jib and i cracked each other up with our reinactments of jamie sommers ("the bionic woman") listening with her bionic ear. don't forget to put your hair behind your ear before making the do-do-do sound effect! ;-) we hit some bad traffic in the eastern part of LA county. guess everyone was coming back home from their weekends abroad, including us. that slowed down our progress some. we finally arrived back at jib and allison's house at about 6 pm, 8.5 hours after we left cottonwood. * going home! * kim and i moved all of our stuff from the dodge intrepid to my car. we hung out for about an hour, gearing up for the drive back to the bay area. unfortunately, we couldn't stay much longer than that, because we were going to get back home late enough as it was. so, we said our sad goodbyes to jib and allison and jumped into my car for the final leg home. the ride home was uneventful, except that there was definitely more traffic on I-5 than there had been the weekend before. of course, i had driven home from the lapiduss' play weekend on a monday night, which probably accounted for the decreased traffic at that time. since i don't have a tape player installed in my car, kim's job was to locate a radio station that we could both bear to listen to, at least until we got close enough to pick up KFOG. that's a more difficult job than it appears, because of the lack of good radio stations in california's central valley, but kim rose to the challenge. finally, we arrived at kim's apartment at approximately 12:30 am. too tired to drag her stuff upstairs, we just stuck all of it in the trunk of her car and said good night - or was it good morning? about 20 minutes later, i was opening the door to my own apartment, not quite sure what my name was or what day of the week it was, but positive that the trip was worth every sleepy mile i had driven to see melissa's first full-fledged performance since the last YLS show in los angeles on december 22, 1996. :-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #250 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #251 Date: October 23, 1997 3:03 AM etheridge-digest Thursday, October 23 1997 Volume 01 : Number 251 *etheridge* Fave Song..

I thought that I read somewhere that there is a large mural of Melissa on the side of a building somewhere in LA, if this is true, can someone please tell me where I might find it? I was also hoping I might be able to hook up with a lister or two while I am in LA this week. As silly as this sounds I don't have a clue which hotel I am staying at, so it is impossible for anyone to get a hold of me, but if you think you might have a bit of time this week to meet up with a Canadian Lister please e-mail me privately. I am not going to have a ton of time to spare while I am there, but I am reserving 36 hours or so to party with the BABers. I arrive in San Jose on the 30th at 5:30 pm Reno Air, Shirl.... Can you hear me????? I sent a message to John with all important details. I am dying to meet some of these famous BABers, and if anyone knows how to get a hold of Kim please tell her I'm coming and bringing the pictures from our day in NYC. I guess that is it for now, thanks in advance to whoever is going to help me in this mural quest.

Hit "return" instead of "delete". Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Anyway, so long as I'm writing, I might as well answer one of those wonderful questions that has been asked recently. . . my "fantasy" Melissa concert venue: There is a "nightclub" not far from where I live. I will refrain from giving the name in case anyone, oddly, bizarrely, is familiar with it. It is a 90's update of those stereotypical 50's places with leather banquettes and a parquet dance floor. Now the banquettes are velveteen covered and separated by mirror covered columns, and there are colored lights and a mirror ball above the parquet. Nonetheless, the ladies' room is clean, the sound system is fantastic, a capacity crowd is 150, and the drinks are cheap. ($0.50 cokes with unlimited refills. . .gotta love that.) Some of my most enjoyable "nights out" with friends and the better half, in recent years, have happened at this joint (joint being the best word for it) listening to a local band that some friends are in. Seeing MLE at this place would be the ultimate. Great music in a totally cheeseball place. Boy, that speaks volumes about my tastes, doesn't it? :-\ Ah, well!

There is a nomination process to have a star put on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There are about 300 requests for stars per year and only about 12-15 stars actually are put in each year. The celebrity has to be nominated and once nominated goes before a selection committee that meets one time per year. There are five categories: movies & film, TV, radio, stage, and music. And someone from each of the categories is selected. There are people from each of the categories represented on the nominating committee. There is a fee if selected that is several thousand dollars and is used to actually put the star in and for the ceremony. The celebrity must meet certain qualifications, such as: they must have been in the business a certain length of time (approximately five years), they must have given back to the community in some way, they must be willing to have a star in their name, and once approved the celebrity must set the date to have the star dedicated. For a nomination packet anyone may write to: 7018 Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90028 It does not help to write letters or send petitions! If anyone is interested this is the way we could do it.

For my 2 cents, I believe that ME will do a wonderful job portraying Janis. I like ME's voice for the same reason that I have always liked Janis' voice. It has a rough edge. It always has, ever since I first heard Similar Features in 1989 and ran to the closest record store and bought the CD. I don't believe any actor who portrays a real person can be a carbon copy of that person, they can only bring to the role their own interpretation of the person and in this case her music. I cite as an example Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee Lewis. I am quite sure that ME will portray Janis in such a manner that Janis fans will be proud. I find it interesting, however, that people I know who are fans of Joplin but say they do not like Melissa's voice. Go figure.

Well, to address your subject line...I know for a fact that not all of MLE's fans doubt her ability to pull off the role of JJ. I happen to think that she'll do ok, although I don't think she'll churn out an acting masterpiece. I've said many times that I think she'll do better in the role than someone who has made training to be an actor their main lot in life. JJ was a raw, unpolished personality...IMO, someone who is not as polished an actor (ie, MLE) will do much better with the part than someone who has 'mastered' the trade. I think one also needs to recall past experiences of singers who have tried to make it big on the big screen. More often than not, they've flopped, and I would imagine that most people who doubt MLE's ability would probably use these examples as a basis for their comparison/opinions. jen--whose only fantasy right now involves a warm, sunny beach, a chaise lounge with a comfy cushion, a pitcher of frozen margueritas and a beefed-up house boy waiting on me hand and foot (all this *after* I win the lottery, of course)... ========================= "The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and three hundred sixty two admonishments to heterosexuals.

I posted a review of that concert, and in it the reviewer mentioned that Melissa played "Satisfaction," which she hadn't. She'd played AAG during the small stage set. The songs are definitely similar. But they ARE different....not nearly close enough to warrant an accusation of plagiarism. Moreoever there are more than enough bootleg versions of that song around for MLE to easily prove how the song progressed in her mind over the years...... Didn't someone on this list once remark that CTMW and Sheryl Crow's All I Wanna Do.... have pretty much the same chords as well? And commented that there are only so many chords available in rock and roll and so these kinds of similarities happen all the time? Any musicians out there care to comment about this? It could make for an interesting thread.

Your classmate has his lesbians mixed up. It was noticed by a relative of the Rolling Stones that their new song sounded a lot like Constant Craving. Actually the quote I saw said while the song was playing one of their children starting singing Constant Craving to the chorus.

A few Newbies have emailed me, asking about the bowling shirts. The bowling shirts are purple, 100% cotton, and the logo is identical to the original. I do not have an original, nor have I seen one. If anyone has a picture of one on their web site, please let us know. There is a guitar on the back with the CD names all over it. The front will have the key logo in grey and the shoulders will have the new mailing address and bowling team name "MEListers". They should be under $30 (American). Once I get a firm price, I will post the message daily until November 10 so no one misses out. The best idea that I have at this point would be to email me your order, I'll calculate it and email you back the price. You will be able to pay by money order or VISA. We are also having a logo design contest because we want to order baseball and golf shirts with an original design for the list. I believe there is more than enough interest for this. You can view the entries that have come in so far at Nathalie's web site (THANKS NATHALIE!!) We have a lot of talented people out there! There is still time to get in a submission if you wish.

Hello everybody!! Here is a reaction to the subject-line. I am not really a movie intellect or so, but I want to say something about it. We all know, that this movie/acting thing is new to Melissa, except if you don't count the part in Teresa's Tattoo, videoclips and the things during her high-school years. (Yes, yes I did read Joyce's book, GOOD JOB she did!!!!). Playing a leading role is a hard job, NO DOUBT. I am honest, when I first heard that she was planning of playing Janis in the movie, I thought aiiiii. She had always said, ref. to "old" interviews, "I want to act someday". So this is HER CHANCE. If it doesn't work out it doesn't, but if it DOES, waauuuuw. She has been thinking about it a long time, this is not from the last two years or so I think. Maybe she's been walking around and planning this for already 4-5 years. Now she has found the COURAGE and TIME (see here: baby Bailey, no touring etcetera.) to do it. The last 1.5 years she had taking acting-lessons or a coach or whatever. I think, I feel, she's READY for it in Febr. or even Jan.?!?! If she didn't felt right about it she wouldn't force to get it through. Who would blame her if it had canceled?Nobody!! Let us ALL hope that the movie get's even better than we could imagine right now. What if Melissa lurks sometimes and read what WE all have to say about her (and ourselves, ahummm ;-))) on this MLE-list, and reads that even some of HER fans have DOUBTS about her Janis movie. It would not make me HAPPY if I was her, on the otherhand, it would or IS an extra motivation to do an EXCELLENT JOB!!!! I am looking forward to next year, when she starts filming and of course by the end of the year????( Holland is at least a couple of weeks behind) the movie. Don't get me wrong, if some people have doubts, that's okay to me. Everybody may say what they think. I am CURIOUS about Melissa's acting and the MOVIE, I have the idea she can DO IT, and I am not "the only one". Well this wasn't easy for me, as I am Dutch, to put down what I felt. I had to do this, I AM SORRY. Lots of Dutch greetings, 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: 24 Oct 1997 12:19:42 -0500 From: SHARON.A.ROUW@monsanto.com Subject: *etheridge* song doubles, crazy MLE videos On the theme of song doubles, Joyce wrote: >>Didn't someone on this list once remark that CTMW and Sheryl Crow's All I Wanna Do.... have pretty much the same chords as well? And commented that there are only so many chords available in rock and roll and so these kinds of similarities happen all the time? Any musicians out there care to commentabout this? It could make for an interesting thread.<< Here's some rudimentary musical knowledge for nonmusicians: There are only 12 notes available. A set pattern of 7 of these notes (together called a "scale") is used to define the "key" of a song. A different chord can be built on each one of these 7 scale tones. Most pop/rock music only uses 3 of these chords (1,4,5). These are often played in the same order because our ears are accustomed to hearing certain sounds (i.e. 5 usually goes to 1). Also, some keys are used more often than others, either because they are easier to play or they fit the singer's range. Of course, some musicians will use other chords, notes outside of the scale, change the key of the song, etc. I'm not a statistician (can I even spell that word?), but it seems to me like pop/rock songs will often sound alike simply because the genre (in general) only uses a few of the musical tools that are available. There was a discussion on the list recently regarding the CTMW video. I think Juliette Lewis was *amazing*, but after having watched another Jennifer Jason Leigh movie over the weekend, I am certain that she would also do a fantastic job. Can anyone imagine the two of them together acting weird? It could probably make the most stable mind bend a little bit. BTW, I loved the crazy, obsessive theme. ("I would stand inside my hell and hold the hand of death" sounds pretty obsessive to me.) MLE's songs are often obsessive, and I'm not sure whether to take videos such as CTMW and IWTCO as expressions of that singlemindedness, or as a kind of tongue-in-cheek way of MLE poking fun at herself. Anyone?

I saw the lead singer, Frederique Spigt, playing the Amsterdam COC about a year ago, she sang some MLE stuff and swore she would really stop doing that *now*, but she laughed as she said it, so there is still hope. And anyway, her own stuff is *well* worth a listen, too! Oh, and another thing, MLE is going to be on Rockpalast, on West 3, tomorrow (saturday). The whole programme is from 2.15 (so actually I am supposed to call it sunday, right? Well, you know...)

I've not brought this to Glenna's attention yet, so she can rough me up a bit if she doesn't agree! :-) Late last night or early this morning (10/23 or 10/24) I received, via private email, a solicitation for picture scanning from someone who had apparently gone to the trouble of picking a select few MEListers to contact. I, for one, do not appreciate being selected at random from a mailing list to be solicited for *anything* (although *some* things might come in more handy than others...but that's a personal issue that I'll not delve into here on the list ). Now, this is more of a personal rant than an administrative decree, but it really frosts my butt for someone send me unsolicited mail for a service that I do not need. I get enough junk snail-mail, email, phone mail, etc.--I don't want to have to hassle with someone on this list who has decided that our group of MEListers is a great outlet for solicitation. I, personally, would appreciate it if people did not privately solicit listers. Of course, I've got no say over what people do with their private email, but I can say that I don't think it should become a regular occurrence.

Why don't i know about bands like that, it seems i have got to look for other CD's than just Melissa's When it comes to 'unknown' Dutch bands, i can only come up with Platt=E8l an= d Shoot The Moon.... Quite some time ago i saw a Dutch singer perform LTWI on tv, but i can't remember her name. Maybe it was her? And i saw the Soundmixshow a week or two or something, and this woman performed as Melissa singing LTWI. Did you guys see that? Wasn't bad, not bad at all....

FYI...the MLE-related segment appears at approximately 42 minutes after the hour, *right* after the blurb about jewel doing a movie with ang lee (director of "the wedding banquet," "eat drink man woman", "sense and sensibility", and "the ice storm"). as ms. smith narrates the segment, there is a brief shot of MLE (video only) at what looks like an awards show - perhaps the grammy's? i wasn't wearing my glasses at the time, but it appeared that MLE was wearing one of those animal print jackets that she's so fond of. *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Oct 1997 23:36:26 -0400 (EDT) From: turtle Subject: [none] where can we get the biography of MLE (Joyce's book)? is it sold in stores? turtle http://cs.selu.edu/~kroberts always, always question criticism. and, question authority. ****************************************************************** * 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, 26 Oct 1997 00:46:43 -0500 (EST) From: Anne Haines Subject: *etheridge* Re: i only OWN it, i don't LISTEN :) (fwd) Found on the alt.music.indigo-girls newsgroup.

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* MLE in new issue of Rolling Stone - highlights hey, y'all...you've been awfully quiet lately. been slaving away on your halloween costumes, have you? this evening, i picked up Rolling Stone's 30th anniversary issue, aka the "women in rock" issue. damn, it's big! i know it's gonna take me awhile to read this baby. as i ate my dinner, i flipped casually through the issue and noticed all of the MLE-related sections (not counting the brief mentions in jann wenner's "letter from the editor" and the "women who rocked the world" article by gerri hirshey). so, without further adieu... * check out the island ad on pg. 57. entitled "the *woman* in rock" ("woman" is in a red font), it's a collage of MLE's 5 album and 5 singles' covers (CTMW, ITOO, IIWT, IWTCO, and NTG). * MLE's interview on pg. 159, accompanied by a great, laughing picture of our lady of etheridge (with her head thrown slightly back, natch - but you can't really see up her nose or down her throat ) playing an acoustic guitar that appears *not* to be an ovation ! of course, i say that being the absolute non-guitar expert that i am. ;-) please, someone with better guitar knowledge correct me if i'm wrong! fashion report: MLE's wearing all black, which seems to be her favorite color these days. if the picture were a bit more in focus, it might even be the exact same outfit she wore at the sedona show. while her footwear isn't in the picture, i would hazard a guess that's she's wearing her comfy black cowboy boots. key observations: - - there aren't any real advantages to being a woman in the music business. it's a business, so if you make a product that the people want and the record company is willing to sell, then you'll be successful, regardless of whether you're male or female. - - MLE wants her music and performance to reflect who she is at the time and "not try to chase something." i'd say based on this statement in addition to how being a mother has changed her writing, MLE may continue to do more narrative songwriting and less of the "lost love / obsessive love" themes. - - the idea of being pregnant intimidates MLE. she doesn't think she'll do it herself. julie did it so well! - - MLE will put "all of herself" into the role of janis joplin. - - the single greatest moment of her career was playing with springsteen at her "unplugged" show. MLE wants to stop time and "just be there." * in the "high notes" section, which is a selective discography of some of rock & roll's most influential recordings by women, YIA is listed on pg. 181: "In a musical climate dominated by cynicism and irony, Melissa Etheridge restored an earnestness and passion via her anthemic arena rock. With this album, she also injected an openness about her sexuality into the lyrics of her guitar-driven heartland music. Yes I Am, Etheridge's fourth release, covers all her bases: Springsteenian character studies, raspily sung power ballads and straight-ahead rockers."

They show butts and boobs, murder, and violence on even the commercials for the cop shows, but a short sweet kiss requires a warning? I thought the episode was wonderfully done, despite the fact that it had been edited quite a bit. The last line was dubbed over, when they were leaving the bar...originally it was: After Ellen asked if she wanted to go somewhere more quiet, she answered,"Yes, especially if you want to take me like a wild animal", not "Yes, especially if I'm dating a wild animal." What was the point to that? I suppose it's less threatening to middle America. Regardless, Ellen is still the show I never miss, and I was sorry to hear that this will probably be her last season. Peace, my fellow listers. And Happy Halloween!

Sorry if that is a stupid question, but what I see >all the time at record conventions is take offs and they are pretty bad >imitations. So I wonder if it's a genuine release or what? hmm..."real release" or "genuine release"? if you're asking if this import was released by Island/Polygram, MLE's record label, then the answer to your question is "no". "No More Secrets" is a live import, aka "a bootleg." as far as i know, "No More Secrets" is the same show that was also issued as the import, "Witch Queen of Cologne." also, many listers have tape copies of the february 5, 1996 cologne show because holger treed it last year. >Is it "rare?" i don't think it's too rare. it pops up at every record collectors' show i've been to in the past few months. however, listers in some parts of the US or other countries may have problems finding it depending on the general availability of imports in their area. >How much have others on the list paid for it? 2 disc imports generally run about $40-50 US. 1 disc imports are generally $20-$30 US. hope that helps...:-) *rhondda* ****************************************************************** * To unsubscribe, send a message to * * majordomo@majordomo.esosoft.com with: * * "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format * * "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format * * Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ * ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Nov 1997 10:34:24 +1100 (EST) From: DICK J L Subject: *etheridge* Ellen Episode? Hi Everyone! Can someone please enlighten an Australian (and all those other *international* listers) who aren't lucky enough to get Ellen anymore. It was cut here before the "coming out" episode (Channel 7 says it doesn't rate and won't even bring it back just for the one episode even though it won a grammy - wasn't the same mistake made with Sienfield?) However I was recently able to see it thanks to a friend who used to be on this list - - I believe she got it from someone on here -It also contained the MLE Sesame Street segment which as really cool to see (don't know about the aqua pants and the 70's style lights though) Anyway It was great to finally see the imfamous episode followed by the coming out to parent show. Though as it was on NTSC video (we use PAL in Aust) we had to watch it in the uni Library with headphones on and had to choke ourselves to keep from laughing out loud and disturbing everyone around us - rather frustrating that.:) So what happened in this new Ellen episode that's caused such a stir - sounds like Ellen got her first kiss(or was it her first?) Just give a few more details so we can get the feel of the show. Your right it's such a shame Ellen might not be back but at least the USA got this series (anywhere else geting it?) I just had an idea (and please don't flame me and start the old not everyone on this list is gay arguement - I'm fully aware of that but MLE would hopefully be envolved in this so everyone on this list would benefit:) Correct me if I'm wrong but in the US cable is fairly - Hmm what's the word? well can be operated by anyway who has the right equipment and applies for a frequency a la Waynes World and To Die For? Over here cable is called PayTV and it only came in a few years ago and seems to be more or less monolplised tso I don't think this would be possible here at this stage. What I was wondering is is there a Gay channel? _ No I don't mean a porno channe- I mean one that addresses gay issues and gives and avenue for gay artists and shows. I know the rights to something like Ellen would probably be huge (at this stage - maybe after it is no more reruns would be cheaper) or I think that many Gay artists would support such an accurance and do it for the social betterment of the world (:-\ ok so they still have to pay bills too) But think of this you could have MLe, kd and indigo girls (etc) playing all the time. Ellen reruns and a new series - if she's nice enough to make it, a good old lesbian soap opera and a catch show that talks about gay issues; coming out, finding a place in soceity,gay marriage/adoption etc. It would also provide a forum for so may other would be gay celebs who can't get a foot in the door because the main stream has no place for them. I imagine with a large propotion of 10% (where did they get that stupid stat from anyway) of 250 Million or how ever large your population is now that the audience size whould be decent enough. Does this exist? (if it did I thought it would have rated a mention by now) and if not why not?! I f anyone has the resources and the inclination to take up this project please feel free (as long as I get my name in the credits LOL) If any one has any info on the possiblities of this happening please discuss. I don't think at this point in time this would be probabile in Australia (though if any Aussies have any info to contradict this thinking I'd be happy to hear it.) Besides we don't have as many out gay celebes as the USA (question are there many in Europe?) Well I've rambled for long enough. But if anyone has any thoughts on this ( or wants to fill me in on the Ellen episode) please do.

Isn't cranberry juice and soda the drink that wimmin bought for Melissa when she was singing in gay bars?! Cuz, that was the drink that Ellen Morgan's new gf ordered on the episode this week. A tip of the glass to Melissa? I am in the process of moving (still), so my resources are not at my fingertips. In fact, I wasn't sure I got the address to post this correct. My address book is on my newly ex.'s 'puter. I just set up my laptop here cuz I HAD to find out if that was Melissa's drink then. (This modem is sooo slow it drives me crazy, my new 'puter won't be here for another week or so!) Also, since I'm on the subject...my friend Karen, who used to work at UPS, and I play Marco Polo a lot, not just in movie theatres, but also for example if we wander away from each other in stores, etc. And, yes, I too noticed that the lips of the new gf on Ellen were not moving in synch with the words we were hearing.

See now, me and my g/f say she said "I've never done it with a wild animal," and we recorded it and replayed it 5-6 times to really look. AND, we think it was Sharon Stone doing a voice over there. Listen to it again, it sounds A LOT like Miss Sharon to us...very sexy voice by the way. Everyone has been asking me where we know her date from...anyone know? She is wayyyy too familar. My g/f and I were thinking a major cross between Mary Louise Parker (Boys on the Side) and Parker Posey.
