So there goes another victim of modern society. A society that claims for rights, equality, freedom... the same society that makes these true victims. People who aren't given the right of a private life, who cannot walk in the street freely, who have to take care for evry step they take. This modernism has turned us into, beasts that kill daily by invading people's privacy. Creating not only victims that starve in Africa or freeze in Alasca, but people who aren't given the rigth of living. This world looses one of its biggest and brightest symbols of all times.

Here in the U.K there is a shock & numbness the like of which I've never seen, we all mourn the greatest friend we never knew. Diana once said she wanted to be the "Queen of our hearts", she was, & how those hearts are breaking now. Yesterday as the sad news broke nearly all National & Local radio stations played only instrumental music, today as the full extent of the loss was truly being felt lyrical works began to play. Ever since I awoke to the terrible news on Sunday morning all I could think of was Melissa's song "All the way to heaven" & the reasons she wrote it as explained in the VH1 program "Storytellers"...... in times such as these we all want to *do* something, I asked a local station to play this song & they did. Because of the hour the news of her untimely death came to light our Sunday Papers were already being distributed, ironically there was direct criticism of Diana for all the trips she'd taken over the last month including a "supplement-special" of photos with her & Dodi, yet who could have ever thought they would have been her final days, we can all only but pray she enjoyed the happiness which the pictures show. "All the way to heaven, is heaven" I hope Diana found her heaven with Dodi. ****************************************************************** * 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, 1 Sep 1997 19:36:16 -0500 From: "Ted & Laura" Subject: *etheridge* Princess I know this has been covered, and I do not respond to certain things on the list. but this truly hurt me, The Death of Diana was a tragic thing.

But people in this country act like it she was a personal friend. I wonder if the people who are crying and carrying on over Princess Diana also cry when they hear of one of these young mothers who kill their children at birth, or when they heard of the young men serving in the U.S. Air Force were blown up in their barracks in Saudi Arabia, or many of these people/families senselessly killed by a drunk driver, or the 19 year old boy who drank himself to death at LSU? These, to me, are all senseless accidents that could have been avoided.

The answer is clear if this list is read and paid attention to. We weep for all tragedy because we feel. We lay are hearts upon our sleeves and feel for the less fortunate. We pick up puppies lost and afraid to save them from tragedy and harm, how much then do we feel for human life lost so tragically. I asked that we do not place judgement or try to be wise. Simply that we feel and know because we do and because we love so much that every life is one we feel for. There is no need to stand up and point fingers nor ask why we feel. We simply do. And children have lost their mother and a mother has lost her child and the country a true friend and believer in a better world. And we all know how it feels when the music has stopped before the dance is over. And yet how in the hour of our need we hear a familiar song to chase away the darkness and sadness of the world today. Hold close my true believers of hearts so tender and caring and know it is for you that this star shone through the darkness and gave us a glimpse of what the future should bring to a world that has been tilted on its side and know that in the hour of sadness somewhere is a candle of hope. And truly if this list is read daily there is no question about do we feel. We are standing in the valley looking up into the heavens wondering why. We are holding fast to the music to comfort us and show us the stars in the dark night.. We are reaching out for hearts and shelter from the fright. We are a group of true companions and we hold each other tight. Together we find the answers on a screen in which we write. Searching through the mist and fog to find what we is for real. Knowing in our hearts and souls for certain how we feel. Do we feel. Read this list.

Yet right now I'd give just about anything to see my name assigned to her reaction to the lawsuit against her sweetie..about another multi-million dollar auction for AIDS research or something. Her obituary is wearing me out. But you know..somehow our critic is a little right. I hate to admit it..but in the everyday realities, some lives effect us deeper than others - for better or for worse. I had a hard time chosing who got to break my heart this morning..a perfect angel of a 9-year-old who was killed last night by a careless driver..or Princess Di who made a difference to the whole world..or a 13 year old who may face life in prison for shooting up is algebra class. Yet, if her passing makes us sad..then let's be sad. There's plenty of tragedy in the world..if we're not selective, when will we ever laugh? I hope we can find meaning in her death. How many of us can raise a hand and say I loved someone killed by a drunk driver? I hope my profession..and those who profess my profession will change. I hope supermarket tabloids go out of business. I hope the whole world will come forward and pick up where she left off getting rid of land mines and getting to the bottom of AIDS. I hope people will buckle their seat belts. Doesn't this whole thing scream out.."quite being so careless with your life"! Okay, that's off my chest now!

I do agree with what VQ2N63110 said, and I have said the same thing. I do feel sorry for her kids though, as I know how it feels to lose a parent at a young age (my dad died when I was 12). It seems to me that we should mourn all the horrible things that happen daily, and celebrate all the terrific things, rather than spend so much time with this Diana thing.

I guess you could say I'm new to the list, but I was signed on long ago. First time writing, though. I thought I should say something on Princess Diana. I, like so many others, didn't know Diana personally. Heck, I'm only fifteen. However, the day of her death was a sad one for me. She did absolutely nothing for me personally, but when someone dies in such a tragic way, you can't help but feel sympathetic. Especially towards her two young boys. Since the accident, I think I've loved my mother a little more, if that's possible. Everyone's quick to blame the so-called photographers, actually stalkers, if you ask me, for what happened, but we have to take into consideration that the driver's BAC was four times the legal limit. I'm sure Princess Diana didn't think that car trip would be her last. No one did. I may not be British, I wasn't even born when she became part of the royal family, but, like so many people were touched by the passing of JFK, this touches me. I just thought I would share this with you all. Thanks for your time and love all God's creatures.

Okay gang maybe it is time we all took a little walk. Come on now it is gonna be alright just take my paw. We are frustrated and in need of magic. We are starved for that passion in the dark. We need. So lets all take a little walk into the fall night air. Lets imagine for a minute that the sky is dark and the clouds are rolling in. Leaves are falling all around and the earth is radiating such sweet smells. A breeze is blowing in a storm as the rain ever softly starts to fall. But we are on fire in our souls with hunger and passion and the need for music to touch our souls. So we stand out in the rain united together and let it soak us down. We feel the coolness as our breath appears in the coolness of the night. And just as we are calm lightning dances across the sky and we know our lady is there. The sky is illuminated and our hearts have found that while standing in the rain the darkness has been defeated by the brightness of her song. No more thunder rolling through the hills, no more wind to shake the trees only the magic of the night sky illuminated and the quiet rain to quench our thirst. Silently the music can be heard and we dance. Hold on in the dry spells, hold on in the pain, stand out in the night sky and be comforted by the rain.

Diana Princess of Wales is dead. The whole world is in mourning. Myself included. Do you think it is strange to mourn for somebody you have never met ? Do you think it is strange to have a feeling of emtiness inside and to be extremly upset ? I think not in this case. Finally she was one of the most important human beings this world has ever seen, because she gave so much hope to people. It seems the majority has realized this only just after her death. She is at a better place now. It will take some time to accept, but then we will only keep her charisma, her warmth and her beauty in our mind. Sorry, I have forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Manon. I am a 24 year old girl from Germany and I am new to this list. Thank you for reading this mail and excuse me for possible spelling mistakes. I try to improve my English.

And if you will cry for a Princess, will you also cry for all these other "nobodies" who we lose every day?>> First of all, good for you for having the courage to speak your mind. I have thought the same thing, but since I was one of the masses who was very upset by Diana's death, I felt a bit hypocritical. Yes, I cry almost every night when I watch the news as I hear about all these senseless acts. I wish I wouldn't let the tragic side of life get to me as much as it does, but I can't help it; that's the way I am. So yes, I do feel for the "nobodies" whose lives are touched by tragedy and I think a lot of other people do too. In fairness, I have seen posts in the pasts remembering or mourning some of those "nobodies." I won't speak for others, but I think it hit me so hard because aside from all the obvious reasons to be sad about this event, Diana was simply a good person who could influence almost the entire world. No, I did not know her personally. I didn't even pay too much attention to what the press, legitimate or otherwise, reported about her. But here was a woman who DID things, important things. She could have sat back on her royal duff but she was active in what I think, and she thought, are important charities and issues (AIDS and landmines are the obvious two that come to mind right now). And she didn't just donate money and say, "What a shame." She got her hands dirty. I respect her work no more than I respect the person who donates $20 to GMHC or spends the day visiting with the elderly or marches for his own chosen cause. But she had the power to reach millions of people, and that could have been another million people donating $20 or donating their time trying to make a difference. That's what I see as one of the greatest losses resulting from her death. Just MHO.

These, to me, are all senseless accidents that could have been avoided. And if you will cry for a Princess, will you also cry for all these other "nobodies" who we lose every day?< Of course our POOH responded to this the best, but I really must add MHO. The Princess was a public figure who was not afraid to break down barriers and shatter the notion that the British Monarchy was cold and unfeeling. It is only natural that so many people would be deeply affected by her death, as senseless and untimely as it was. This does not mean that we are not affected by the tradegies of the less famous, or just plain folks like us. I must agree w/POOH's wise words..... >There is no need to stand up and point fingers nor ask why we feel. > We simply do. It's human nature.

I heard the news about Diana's death on Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. and it truly shocked me and I couldn't believe it. And it made me very sad!!! Since I've always liked her, and she was about my age and I felt a bit *close* to her because she's one of my generation. But this woman, this princess, this *star* was first of all a human being just like everyone of us. Most of her life she was not treated like a human being though, but rather like somebody who was unreal, a fairy tale princess, an angel, a fantasy...the press and the public thought they owned her, and tried and finally succeeded in doing everything to her they wanted. I mean let her be *human* in her death finally!!! This glorifying somebody, putting a halo over her head....in my opinion is like starting this whole business of making her *unhuman* all over again even after she has died!!! I am not saying this was POOH's intention or anything, but a sentence like "...it is for you that this star shone through the darkness and gave us a glimpse of what the future should bring..."...well, it is over my head! What does anyone of us really know about Diana Spencer????? "Grand words" are sometimes very much needed, but sometimes a little less would be more fitting and be more according to the situation. And all those "we" in POOH's post!!?? Who are those "we"?? All the probably thousands of people who are subscribed to this list??? Do "we" all have the same opinion on everything??? Do "we" all know what "we" think and feel???? Why not put an "I" where it is appropriate and meant and a "we" when talking about a couple of people whose opinion one really does know!!! That all this is just my opinion, well, that goes without saying....ooops, said it anyway. KEEP IT PRECIOUS, 'cause it's the only life we've got!!

We're still doing well, it's just that someone didn't agree with the opinion of another lister. Martina didn't express herself in an unflattering or inflamatory manner. Just because she took exception to something someone wrote does not mean that we're headed for all-out war. Why is it that just because someone disagreed with another lister that it's automatically assumed that 'Elaine' is at the root of the problem?

I realized when I sent the post that I quoted part of the message I did not intend to. I do not take exception to the opinion about Diana, as it was Martina's opinion. I *do* however take exception to the "who is 'we'", don't speak for me because you have no idea what I think kind of comment. Disagreement is healthy and promotes discussion, but jumping on somebody because because they use the word "we" is petty in my opinion. This list has regressed to this point before, and Jenn, yes you, have sanctioned those participating before. Why is this different? Same behavior, but now you support it? Pooh has brightened this list for some time now, and has often framed her ideas and thoughts in the collective (using "we"). Pooh makes an effort to promote harmony on this list and for that I am very thankful. Watching a person get attacked who is only trying to inspire and motivate others makes me upset. As far as the Elaine comment, I apologize as it was inappropriate to make publicly. It came from anger and in the moment. So...lets continue on and try to be nice to eachother (what a concept.)

But people in this country act >> like it she was a personal friend. I wonder if the people who are >> crying and carrying on over Princess Diana also cry when they hear of >> one of these young mothers who kill their children at birth, or when Well stated. But the fact is we live in a celebrity-oriented, gossip-oriented society. How many of us have never glanced at/through a tabloid while standing at the checkout line in the supermarket? How many of us don't slow down and look at an accident scene? I try not to participate but I do admit to reading alt.showbiz.gossip (the last time I checked it seemed like over 90% of the messages were about Diana; usually there are several threads going at the same time), Cybersleaze and Tinseltown Trash (Mercury Mail/InfoBeat). I read them for fun, of course. Isn't this list - and others like it - much like the tabloid press but just on a smaller scale? There will always be people who ask for - and some who post - a celebrity's home address or phone number. Isn't wanting to know information that the celebrity hasn't put forward an invasion of privacy? Isn't calling her "our Melissa" implying a closeness that most of us have no right to claim? If you've been on the list for awhile or if you have the time, check out thearchives. Well before Melissa and Julie had the baby, there were people who complained about Julie - she was married, she'll leave Melissa for a man, she's not good enough for her, I hope she doesn't hurt her - stuff like that. Who are we to make statements/judgements like that? Like you, I wonder if we care about tragedies that don't make world headlines. But I think we do. I think we do care about individual pain and suffering, but we're not in a position where all of us can know of those involved or even of the act itself. We grieve by ourselves or in small groups, but others cannot really share the pain and mourning *as much* simply because we're not able to know the people involved as well. In Diana's case, we all did know quite a bit about her - because of all the media, of course - but what we've known about her has been positive. She was an influential humanitarian who continued to do "good works" while undergoing the incredible scrutiny of the world. She apparently was a very good mother who believed in keeping her children's lives as "normal" as possible. It's not necessarily that we care more deeply about this tragedy than others but because it happened to somebody we all knew about, we can all share in the grief. I wonder, too, if the massive coverage of Diana's death isn't somehow just as bad as the tabloid coverage. We can complain all we want about the paparazzi and the tabloids but I seriously doubt that they'll go away anytime in the near future. One thing we do know is that there won't be any "death scene" photos in the National Enquirer. It turns out the publishers actually have some integrity (at least for the moment) and they're refusing to buy the photos. Maybe this will encourage other tabloid publishers to have second thoughts about the effect of what they do. And maybe finally the public will show some integrity in not encouraging the paparazzis' behavior by wanting to know the private details of celebrities' lives. And, after all this, I will admit to shedding some tears at the news.

My mom phoned me with the news on Sunday morning at five o'clock after I had been in bed for half an hour so it took a while to sink in. My friends had been watching the tv since thrree o'clock and had gone through a good tree boxes of tissues by the time I saw tem. My thoughts on Princess Di are fairly mixed ... I grew up seeing her as a fairy tale princess. I slept in the streets when she got married in order to get a good spot. I had my walls covered with pictures of her, ny hair cut in the same style. But that was many years ago and I have since grown cynical, perhaps more analytical. I feel that what we are responding to is "loss". We had something, we had a person we could always count onto exist, suddenly she isn't there anymore ... we woke up one morning and she was dead. Mixed up with this is our own fear of mortality - it reminds us that no matter who we are, where we are, how old we are we can all die at any point in time. And instead of shedding tears I have looked at the situation ... the media who killed her are now canonising her, people who were once ambivalent to all but the gossip around her life are in deep grief, Prince Charles escourted her body back - like he cared when se was alive. Lets look at this rather and learn from it rather than taking part in the myth which built her and destroyed her. And on a more positive note this gave me one good lecture or two on the creation of history. mic ============================================================================== I will stand firm in the tempest I will ride destiny's trail To believe when the truth comes up empty To hold and respect without fail - Melissa Etheridge ============================================================================ ****************************************************************** * 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, 04 Sep 1997 06:55:07 -0400 From: Betsy Lewis Subject: *etheridge* PETA poster I purchased a framed copy a year ago from Alternative Creations which was advertising big in Girlfriends magazine.

Regardless of what I think about someone (or the kind of person who insists on bashing others and bringing negativity into everything) I should have not posted it publicly. As far as this post, I was addressed publicly and will respond in kind. > You remind me of lesbians I used to hang out with.

So much for > diversity, so much for respecting others. This is a good example of what I am talking about. Making assumptions and attacking based upon those assumptions. IMO, those who choose to interact with others in this fashion are part of the problem, not part of the solution. IMO, disagreement is healthy but can be handled with basic respect. It is the *respect* I don't see. We are all in this life and on this planet together, and IMO it is in our best interests to curb the infighting and instead use that energy to accomplish something positive. I suppose I am a dreamer. I don't believe anyone is *wrong*, we all have our own thoughts and feelings. But, I do believe disagreement can be handled in a respectful manner. > >> Pooh has brightened this list for some time now, I can't find my original post, but I thought I made it clear that this was *my* opinion. If not, I should have. > >> So...lets continue on and try to be nice to eachother > > Perhaps you should take your own advice. You're the one who constantly > blames somebody who isn't here for messages *you* don't like. First, your facts appear incorrect. I have only posted maybe 5 or 6 times to this list that I can remember. Again, an attack without investigation. IMO, this is how wars begin. It saddens *me* when hostile negativity shows through on this list. Second, this list is supposed to be about Melissa and the messages and feelings her music and lyrics teach and portray (at least that is *my* understanding.) Much of the behavior I see represents just the opposite, IMHO. IMHO, Melissa is about and teaches *respect*. I'll go back to lurking now, for me this is reaching that just banging your head against a wall and not getting through stage. It is not a productive use of energy.

He was shot & killed in the line of duty. His death affects me greater than that of Princess Diana's hands down because of what I do for living & where I live. It doesn't mean her death hasn't affected me though. It's been talked about a great deal at work & pretty much everywhere I go. She was known internationally as a good, kind person who tried to make real change. I work in a job where I see death just about every day. It's my job to do what I can to prevent it. I can't always succeed. I don't post to this list every day who dies, I don't talk about it in the grocery store, and it doesn't even make the local news very often unless there are circumstances surrounding it to make it interesting to the media. Every time one of those people dies, a little piece of my heart goes with them. I can't show it. I can't break down every time or it would tear me apart. When Diana died she took a piece too. It wasn't bigger, it was just talked about more because she was known as least in face & name to just about everyone.

This is turning into a continuation of *the most* inane argument that I've ever witnessed on this list, and it's going to be nipped in the bud before it grows further. Jane knows there are people on the list who appreciate her posts and I'm sure she's not going to let one person who took exception to her use of the term 'we' discourage her from list participation. I swear I'll throw my damn computer across the room if we are once again inundated with 'Please Don't Go Pooh' posts. Therefore, in order to save myself a few thousand dollars, the thread concerning the use of the term 'we' (when it is and and is not appropriate) is off-limits. I really hate having to prohibit discussion about certain threads. I appreciate intelligent discussion about difference of opinion and thought--I know that I generally end up learning something. However, I definately don't want to have to sit through a pseudo flame war and feable attempts at one-ups-manship by people who can't stand not to participate.

Well, so far, I've withheld my opinion on Princess Diana and whether or not I should be saddened at her passing...I am deeply saddened and I just haven't really felt like trying to defend why so many people feel the way they do. I don't feel as though I've lost a friend, but I've lost *something*...we all have--regardless of other world tragedies. I just tripped across Elton John's rewrite of 'Candle In The Wind' for Saturday's funeral. It's the first time I've cried, and I'm not a 'crier'. It's odd to not be able to explain 'why'. I think that for me, it's part of my recent struggle with the stark realization that I'm no longer a 'kid'...that time can take away things that, as a child, brought me happiness and a sense that the world was a secure and friendly place...that things can change on the turn of a dime...that I alone am responsible for my own happiness and security. One more fantasy of my youth has gone...and so has a woman who I admired as an example of strength and rebirth and in-your-face independence. "Goodbye, England's rose; may you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind: never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills; your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will. Loveliness we've lost; these empty days without your smile. This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child. And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; all our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know." ****************************************************************** * 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, 4 Sep 1997 17:37:09 -0400 (EDT) From: MC0611@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Re: Vanessa's post NMLEC Just some thoughts here on Vanessa's post.... <> I do admit that I don't like it in general when people use the "collective we".

Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. there is no drawing against the "tomorrow".

Meaning they were testing the system for when MLE comes in to make sure it would work properly. They are working hard on the bugs and kinks in this still very new chat, and we (as in the room regulars) are hoping this is a good sign that she may be stopping in soon. For those listers who haven't stopped in yet, you'll find quite a group in there most evenings. Ages run the gammit from 16 to 60, and from all over the world. C'mon listers!!!! Stop in and check it out! Just one other brief pondering (to borrow pooh's word). I joined this list back in Feb. shortly after I purchased my 'puter. Of course my main reason for joining was to keep up on as much MLE info as possible. Obviously, the ME content has dwindled since she finished her last tour . Have I unsubbed? NOPE. I continue to recieve the list because I enjoy the diversity of thought, personality and opinion expressed here. Do I agree with every post? Of course not! I have , however, learned my lesson about perpetuating silly flame wars. If someone post something that I trully feel I need to respond to, I'll do it privately. No need to bring it to the list. As for POOH....well, she knows how I feel about her. Therefore I have no need to jump up and defend her publicly. I've met some wonderful people due to this list. A few I'm proud to call friends.(and you know who you are!) I wouldn't let that go for a flame war, or a few negative posts. Any Star Trek watchers out there? If so you'll understand what I mean when I say, I would never want to be a Borg. Diversity of thought and opinion is what makes us human. The freedom to express our thoughts and opinions is one of the joys of this list. I'm thankful for that. Just one more humble opinion. :-) Stay Strong. Teach Peace.

You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind: never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills; your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will. Loveliness we've lost; these empty days without your smile. This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child. And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; all our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know.

All I have to say is that in a moment of silence for those who have left us one could not but feel so much for the paths they opened for us to walk ahead in. In the presence of such good music as Chris Williamson and Tret Fure and June Millington who truly "Rocks" can that woman ever make a guitar talk!!!!! I was truly aware that life goes on and we are belssed by those left behind. Suzanne Westenhoefer made us laugh and reached in and made us aware of those who walked in grace before us so that we would not be afraid to walk in the light. She is one wonderful being and I could have sworn that the spirits of those who have come before and recently left us were with us then as always they will be. The music of their lives still echoes in the universe and their songs of hope and love will truly resound forever.

Personally, in my lives of my friends, the death comes in 3s happened about two years ago. For one of my co-workers it happened to him about 6 months ago. For my family, it happened about 8 years ago. For the public as a whole, it just happened and has happened in the past. When I acknowledged this as a "death comes in 3s," I meant it as for the general public. The public as a whole mourned the death of 3 people (everyone knew who they were) in a short period of time. I am not so shallow as to think these people were more important than a baby, teen, adult, or elderly who has passed away. These three deaths were ones that were so close together and that the majority of the public mourned about that *I feel* they can be considered part of the "death comes in 3s" myth. It is merely my opinion, and possibly that of others. So, please do not call ones opinion "crap." If your opinion is different than mine, no problem. But you don't have to be rude about it. To ackowledge the death of only 3 people in the past 2-3 months is to say the lives of those not acknowledge were worthless, not worthy of being "counted." Enough with this crap. It's simplistic.

Just to let all y'all know, in the September 15 issue of People (with Diana on the cover) there's a picture of MLE. This issue also includes the best and worst dressed of '97, but she's neither best nor worst dressed. She's on pg. 179 and it's because she wore stripes. In case y'all don't want to waste four bucks on such a small picture, here's the caption: "Rocker Melissa Etheridge struck up the bands in a zippy pantsuit at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's annual awards banquet in Beverly Hills in May." So, there ya go. Thanks for your time! Much love and pride, A.

I will not address this lister by name publicly since I did not address her publicly originally (I purposely deleted her name from the quoted post because I thought that would make it clear that I was not addressing a certain person, but the entire list). I do, however, want to take the opportunity to apologize for including the part of her post where she expressed admiration for Jane Vaughn's posts. The lister pointed out to me that, by quoting this part of her post, I painted a somewhat hypocritical picture after having agreed that it was ok to diplomatically point out offense taken at someone else's writing. Although including that part of the post was poor judgment on my part (I should know better than to try and send public posts while I'm getting ready for a board (bored?) meeting!), I do not feel as though praising someone's writing is wrong. What I wanted to prevent was another please-don't-go fest, which I do feel is an unnecessary waste of list-space and time. One-liner personal responses are better left to private email. Again, my apologies to the wounded...she knows who she is. jen - ------------------------ "And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills..." -Taupin/John ****************************************************************** * 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, 08 Sep 1997 16:56:48 -0500 From: Jenniffer Smith Subject: *etheridge* SMEC RE: People >>> 09/08/97 02:35pm >>> writes: >Hi!

Talking to other Listers on the (quite excellent IMHO MEIN chat) recently the subject of the above song came about. One of my many great loves about MLE's work is the multi-adapatibility of the subject matter ..i.e.. some songs can be related to different subjects (I site of course SL, underage sex / sexuality) now I found Melissa with the "YIA" cd & so listened back. Got the 1st cd & loved it, the song "Late September Dogs" I immediately took to be a subtle reference, a 'testing the water' if you like, of her sexuality. "Rain" being used to simulate the cleansing / refreshing effect that water would have, ...to wake yourself up you'd splash water on your face.I imagined the use of such imagery in the chorus to assert that the writer wanted this awakening, this affirmation of what they were feeling. "silence is the steel that pierces & cuts me to the bone," stifling your fears can be self destructing, you don't need to be a Psych. major to know that ..... Now I could analyze this song line by line but I wouldn't want to bore you, you're a discerning lot, but that's what I've always taken from the song .....& as for the title ..... I thought it would have been common knowledge to this forum but obviously it's not. The "Late September Dogs" was an English band formed in the early ( I think)-eighties that played the British circuit. I know little about them except when they finally got a record deal they shortened their name ? Moondogs (with an ex- member of the Bay City Rollers) my brother told me this & he has a vast vast musical knowledge (10,000 vinyl's none of whom I'd heard of until I musically matured ... I was running around in my youth, in a "Fame" T-shirt wondering why he was so weird when all along he had the taste of a true master) ......so apologies I don't know anything else about the band, what their "warning , I understand their song" refers to ...... but maybe someone else does ????? But I just thought I'd let you all know .... Margaret Now I don't want to be "flaming" re: people's opinions to Pooh's musings.... but in the midst of Earl Spencer's address I did think of Pooh & some people's comments towards her, when he said ..... "I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at [by the media} why there appeared to be a permanent quest to bring her down. It is baffling. My own & only explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the spectrum." You may think me wrong in that statement but ...

Margaret, what little analysis you did give intrigued me. I've always loved that particular song and while parts of it have held significance for me at different times in my life, I've wondered as to the overall meaning within it. I'm all for a line-by-line interpretation.

I hadn't listended to Melissa Etheridge the self titled album in some while and after doing so last week I was sort of re-introdused to the reason I do so love this womans music! It was a rejuvenation of sorts and showed me exactly why I listen and why I feel so much for Melissas music. For if anyone can listen and not feel the passion and ache for the desire that echoes and lingers and truly does cut you to the bone then I guess truly you cannot feel. And this is a very sad thing indeed. I need only to place the headphones on and set back in the bear chair and know, yes this is why I listen. Once again, "Thanks You" Margaret for putting a song in my heart. pooh Vaughn@oumail1.email.ohiou.edu ****************************************************************** * 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, 10 Sep 1997 16:07:43 -0500 From: "Karen Steenstrup" Subject: *etheridge* Picks and Pans A Plenty edgy wrote: > Speaking of Melissa Etheridge: if you had to choose... > > 1.

I need to tell this to people who might appreciate its significance for me: Yesterday I was looking through the used cd's bin at The Record Exchange right here in little Boise, Idaho. My gf had just got a '92 red corvette, so I was looking for a copy of Prince's "Little Red Corvette." [(Though the first music she played in her RED 'vette was of course, Melissa's RED album (cd)]. Anyway, I hardly ever shop, hardly ever shop for music, hardly ever look at the used bin first. And there I found...a promo of live Melissa from 1988!!! What luck. I couldn't believe it. I kept saying "who would let go of such a thing?!" My niece, who was with me, visiting from California, kept saying "you're so loud." I know that last comment is hard for any of you who know me to believe. Now I'm wondering, who in town had this promo, who would sell it?

I can't remember who it was that wrote what they interpreted "The Late September Dogs" to be about, but a light bulb flashed over my head (literally, someone came in and turned on the light.) when I read it. I thought I would pose a question. I've heard many stories behind "An Unusual Kiss" (actually, only two or three) and I'd like to know what all of you think it's about. So, what do you interpret the song "An Unusual Kiss" (or another song, if you choose) to mean? I think it's all about making love, then making up. First two people make love and one is about to leave (possibly just a one night stand). The person whose house it is is thinking the other person will have to explain where they were to someone ("It's 2:45 and you'll have some explaining to do"). Before the person leaves, the other person realizes they don't want them to go and maybe they start arguing. After a while, with the taxi waiting for them outside, the person leaving finally decides to stay. That's pretty much it. I know my interpretation may be a little confusing (I mentioned "person" six times in three sentences), but you may see the song entirely different. So, tell me what you think. Thanks for your time! Much love and pride, A. "...and they don't understand what they don't see and they look through you and they look past me oh you and I dancing slow and we got Nowhare2go..." - M.

Enjoy! From the moment I heard AUK I just assumed it was about M & J getting together,it just seemed so obvious,especially when you relate Melissa's previous interveiws regarding the writing/inspiration for her songs,her honesty,well just about every reason that we love her. I always just assumed there was no-one in the taxi. Maybe this is an Irish thing but to try and get taxis' some nights is just about impossible for any amount of circumstances so its common enough to ring and pre-book one,now every once in a while for whatever reason,whoever your with/the coversation/alcohol-usually due to a mix of all your plans change & you decide to stay.In Ireland to herald their arrival cabs honk their horn & if you don't open your door within a few minutes they drive off,they're none the wiser cause you usually book under a false name so not to be blacklisted by the firm in the future. Face it theres just so many specifics you can include in a lyric without compromising it......so picture it, M invited J over (or vice versa) perhaps to discuss a further video project,each had a hidden agenda which became apparant as the night progressed***I think I've seen that look somewhere before** culminating in one of them testing the water by leaning into the other just so much that it was kiss or run time,all or nothing,lover or left....they kissed and all the mixed up emotions that had been making their heads throb so much recently just exploded in a cornucopia of love,friendship,desire,passion because although this moment had been wished for at the same time it was neither preconceived or premeditated,it happened because *we all wanted this**,picture it, that first time, the craziness of the pieces suddenly fitting together mixed with the knowledge that that person loved you,they'd told you,you were sure of it and you knew that you had that ultimate Access All Areas pass,your mind could hardly cope with what was happening and the realization that love was going to be soooo made that night and as every minute progresses and gets better than the last, you're trying to map it all,nothing has been decided or dicussed,you're just going with the flow,you want to remember every detail because in the harsh reality of daylight all the problems that have kept you apart before this will resurface,the demons to be faced will be waiting for you to explain your way out of this one and as your mind tries to focus on what is happening at that moment coordinating your every wished for pleasure....a car horn blares...the embrace is broken,the body whose every contour you've imagined,wanted,needed is making her way to the window after realizing her cab has arrived,she looks to the bed,then out the window staring at the car & all that isn't there but exsists and now must be faced,the heart on the bed is trembling channelling her every thought to the figure at the window whose gaze is nervous,jerky and unsure "stay,stay,this was meant to be..you know that,we can work it all out,together,we can do anything....."the heart momentarily flutters as *my baby draws the sheets as the taxi pulls away.........******* The Defense rests & awaits the jurys verdict..........

Kitsch wins out over camp as purple fringed jacket wins out over goldlamefauxleopardskin (tm) pants. What *would* andy warhol say? 2. The blondes have it. In an overwhelming landslide, the latter do wins. It's time to invest in miss clairol. 3. The ancien regime reigns supreme as the ovation plucks its way to the top. 4. But wait my liege, a revolutionary impulse emerges as ATWTH narrowly edges out my all-time favorite tune LSD. Must have been the cotton candy. 5. Despite a few VW die-hards, the 80s have permeated, albeit gracefully, our collective (un)conscious: the BMW wins, hands (free cell phone) down. 6. By two measley votes, those Melissa-full eyes win over the snarky giggle. 7. And I'm sure I'm hearing a heavy sigh of relief from our friends over at MEIN: most, mind you not all, voting fans would rather take their chances with MEIN than go through a vicious, probing, and painfully comprehensive tax audit. 8. And the land of shallow minds, dense smog, and delightfully hip eyewear beats out the land of...the vast expanses of...the amber waves of...aw, you know, Leavenworth. 9. Front row or backstage? Looks like fans would prefer a glimpse of her blondness backstage over fighting for a handshake in the front row. 10. Poor Pat Boone. It was, however, brought to my attention that I really meant to put the hideous "Being Sensitive" up against those cartoon classics. Despite all, the lounge lizard turned heavy metal rocker loses big-time. 11. And finally, in a close one, picks win out over pecks. Thanks for playing! Departing contestants will receive a range of delightfully useless parting gifts. And, maybe one day, one of us will win Ben Stein's money.

I did apologize to Glenna TWICE for the mistake (which I am sure noone else has EVER made with their email notes). I only was trying to add to my MELISSA collection and after all insn't Melissa and making new friends and contacts the reason we are all here? All of this started when a NEW member to the list punched the wrong button too, human error, which does happen you guys, and even on the computer. She was publicly put on the spot with her first post and then this!! What a welcome to the list!!! Can we all just be friends and recognize individual opinions and forgive mistakes and go on with "happy days" on not only this subject but with others too??? LYNN PS It would be helpful if there was a printed set of rules to follow for this list as we all are not mind readers and simply don't know all the legal issues and such of the carrier of this list.

Evenin', Melisters, Trolls and occasional flame-wars aside , I've always found the list to be a wonderful resource for meeting amazing people from all over the world. This being so, I thought I'd ask for a bit of help from our European Melisters, or those who may have spent time in Europe, in planning my backpacking trip to Europe. It's going to be a whirlwind seven week trip throughout seven countries - specifically: England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy. (as well as Germany and Switzerland if time/$ allows). If anyone has any suggestions on must-see sights, great places to eat, or cheap yet relatively clean/safe hostels in those countries I'd really appreciate it! With only so much time, we're looking to see and do as much as possible, and make the trip a memorable one! So, if there are any Melisters out there who could make a suggestion or two, please email me. Thanks for your time & patience in reading this Melissa-less post.

Dogs--an overview One of the greatest attractions of MLE's music to me is that on hearing any of her songs the lyrics are scripted in such a way that imagery of a situation is instantly created, & on hearing her work my mind seems to project an accompanying scenario almost as if its subliminally intended, granted any of the videos I've seen (which are few) have never been that similar to my own vision but nonetheless they capture me. Initially reading the sleeve notes of the 1st recording & seeing the title "Late September Dogs" I wondered was it a song about drug addiction, using the assumed word play the Beatles were accused of in "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" ......i.e. :LSD .. the drug, listening to the song I saw an addict walking the streets looking for a fix or the friend that had left them because they wouldn't tolerate the present addiction. The chorus calling for the rain to fall down & set the person free meaning to wake the addict up to how desperate a person they had become, the subject had lost a friend but still didn't seem able to lose the habit, although they wanted to. The 2nd verse added weight to this theory, " hours with the devil to understand just what you need" suggesting that the subject could not find a pleasure so intense in the real world although had enough a grasp of reality left that they yearned for help, knowing that there was only so much of a part in their lives the distraction could fill. Continuing "And so I beg for sleep, the child who walked before they crawled" visualized for me someone who knows they are in too deep, too quick, the remaining lines perhaps suggesting the final realization that the loss of the friend was not due to the subject using drugs but because of the person they became when 'high'...."the spear in your side is me " ............. Singing this song one day I was heard & informed that the LSD were a 70's cover band, now coupled with the fact that after trying to find out more about the singer I'd come across her sexual orientation this shed a different light on the lyrics. When listening now I began to see someone who had fallen for a friend of the same sex & had their advance not only rejected but the friendship lost as a result. As the subject in their solitude looks from the window they hear a song, not necessarily playing, it just may just be in the mind, but it's as if the song was there as a warning that was never understood, until now & it seems to be too late. The rain is called for, a "wake me up & tell me this is a dream" plea, the second verse now pictures the late night out- pouring of emotion & truth that was as unexpected as it was un-requited, the silent reply was never what was expected as the friends had never been anything but honest with each other, each had told the other they loved them, the intensity of that love had just been mis-read, the common mistake of being told "I love you" yet hearing "I'm in love with you", so similar in wording but a million miles apart in meaning. Through this simple but disastrous mis-conception there's great pain, as in an attempt to fuse the relationship foresight was not called upon .........& now... in hindsight, a chance for explanations may not be given. Sorry for the length, but brevity has never been a strong point. I look forward to your comments.

Hi, This is for those of you out there who have an MLE *album*. What do you think of the sound on vinyl compared to CD? I have the CDs, and my gf has the Red *Album*. Our turntable is not really what I would call a quality piece of stereo equipment. Anyway, I have heard a lot of people comment on the sound of CDs being "warmer" than vinyl. I really think that MLEs music should have a more raw, edgy sound. Anyone got an opinion? I don't want to consider investing in a new turntable if it's not worth it. Thanks, Sharon ps--Earlier this summer someone posted about Michelle Malone, and quoted reviewers (?) who said that is grittier than MLE or like MLE with an edge. I bought the CD (it's pretty good), but I just don't see it. If you can explain this to me, please email me. Grittier? Maybe Joan Jett. ****************************************************************** * 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, 15 Sep 1997 10:48:57 -0700 From: Suzanne Glass Subject: *etheridge* Re: NMEC ~ My new CD I wrote: > Hi All, > Just wanted to post and say I *finally* have my new CDs in.

I posted earlier about MM and the "MLE with an edge" review. That review (for Band de Soleil) is the reason I decided to check out MM's music; however, I also don't completely agree with it. I don't know... reviewers have limited space to describe their subjects and music is so hard to "capture" in words anyway. A quick comparison sometimes helps. On the surface - two women singer/ songwriter/ guitarists who play rock instead of folk - MLE was receiving a lot of media attention at the time of that review and was thus an "obvious" comparison for MM. On another level, both play and sing with a lot of power and passion. I think the comparison is valid to that extent and I'm very happy to have discovered MM's music!!! That said, the "edge" is another story (not to be confused with "The Edge," which is one of my favorite songs off MM's Devil Moon CD). Certain songs of MM's are "grittier" than some of MLE's, but the reverse is also true. To say that MM is like "MLE with an edge" implies that MLE's music lacks an edge. I disagree, but I guess it depends on how you define "edge." To me, it has much more to do with the intensity of emotion in a song than with the volume of the guitars. For example, I think The Late Sept. Dogs has more edge than a lot of the stuff on YLS, even though LSD is quiet and the latter stuff is loud and rockin'. The emotion in LSD just jumps right out of the speakers <-- if someone read that out of context, they'd call me an acid head ;). Speaking of which, I found Margaret's interpretation interesting - that never occured to me, even though I'm also a Beatles fan and familiar with the theories of Lucy in the Sky's meaning. BTW, LSD was the first MLE song I ever heard and it snagged me from the start. Anyone else have any comments on the "edge"? I know some people said with YIA, she lost her edge, but one listen to SL or ITOO and I have to disagree with that too. And some people thought that YLS, with its emphasis on electric over acoustic guitar, was a return to form; a reaction against the criticism that she'd "gone soft." I don't think she ever had. (Not that I don't like YLS; it just took a little longer than some of the others to grow on me.) BTW, I'm listening to MLE as I write this and I still think she has as much or more soul than anyone performing today -[Everyone agrees, right??? ;) ] - I'm pleasantly reminded of that soul each time I listen. And although I'm very happy she's spending time with her family, I'm anxiously awaiting the next tour!!!!! I'm going to see Bonnie Raitt and the Indigos on the HTE tour next week - think she'll show up at that one?

This is the first time I'm attempting to post to this list. I've enjoyed reading the posts; particularly the ones by pooh. I appreciate her insights. It's natural for all of us not to agree at all times; for our reality is our own perspective. It doesn't make it right or wrong; it's what makes us individuals with our own opinions is all. I've been a Melissa Etheridge fan for only a short time and I love her music. That's why I joined this list. I've found this list to be quite informative. Thanks to all of you. I'd like to take this opportunity to share some of my thoughts with you all: as I look out my window... The sun is out, the skies are bright I feel an awakening, I see the light I draw back the curtains, in my mind It's simply amazing, what I find! I knew something was hiding there, just misplaced Memories only briefly lost, the challenges I've faced Thoughts of a love so long ago Time to move on; let it be so I'm seeing things now, for the first time at last Things that are over, thoughts of the past It's another new day beginning, I'm still here Thinking of you, and wanting you near Remembering the choices that I have made Should I have gone? Should I have stayed? That's all over, I cannot change what might have been Now I look ahead, and in this life I aim to win As the light shines inward, I see there is hope I've learned some of life's lessons; I'm no dope I've heard them say history repeats itself It's time to put that book back on the shelf This is simply a time for reflection As life continues in a new direction I've seen changes in others, I've seen changes in me It's all part of growing; it feels great to be free As the wind blows gently, the leaves are rustling Life's full of wonder; I'd better get hustling I realize our time here may not be that long Must make the time, to hear the song There is a tune, to which we should listen It plays in our hearts, makes our hearts glisten The music is soft, yet full of passion Sometimes it's loud, whatever the fashion The melody I hear, as bright as this day Plays with such zest, as it lights my way...

On the surface - two women singer/ songwriter/ guitarists who play rock instead of folk - MLE was receiving a lot of media attention at the time of that review and was thus an "obvious" comparison for MM. On another level, both play and sing with a lot of power and passion. True, true. You have a good point. >>it depends on how you define "edge." To me, it has much more to do with the intensity of emotion in a song than with the volume of the guitars. Or even the kind of guitar, to my mind. Don't tell me the Ovation can't rock "like the way (electric guitars) do". It's all in the way it's played, baby. >>Anyone else have any comments on the "edge"? I know some people said with YIA, she lost her edge, but one listen to SL or ITOO and I have to disagree with that too. And some people thought that YLS, with its emphasis on electric over acoustic guitar, was a return to form; a reaction against the criticism that she'd "gone soft." I don't think she ever had. (Not that I don't like YLS; it just took a little longer than some of the others to grow on me.) YIA is *NOT* going soft. (People really said that? If I had to choose a "soft" album of MLEs, I would go with Never Enough.) To me having an edge often has to do with the overall sound--production, arrangement, and instrumentation of a song. Synths and drum machines are not edgey (is this a word?). Sparse arrangements with little production are better. YIA has a cleaner, sharper sound, more like the first release (which is, of course, the ultimate in "edge"). As for YLS, I think it falls short of the edge it may have been striving for simply by plugging in. Raw, edgey music can exist as electric or acoustic, but MLE reigns in the acoustic-based format. There are others out there who come across better on electric guitars. Anyone else?

Not the drug! The song! This song has always been a source of confusion for me. I just thought at first that Melissa was being quite literal: she was writing in September and heard dogs outside, and their mournful cries reflected the way she was feeling. The veiled reference to the drug never crossed my mind, but it is an interesting idea. I remember reading somewhere (one of the biographies, I think) that MLE was at one time quite taken with the Beatles and listened to the Sgt. Pepper album every day one summer. She may have latched onto the LSD theme. However, I now think that the Late September Dogs may be a reference to some sort of a symbolic myth or an omen: a raven, or a hoot owl howling outside the window. (This also would be appropriate for a band name.) One thing that makes me think this is that the "dogs" are first "just outside the window," and later "just inside the distance." I think the song is about MLE's quest for forgiveness and overcoming guilt. Rain can be a bummer, but as mentioned before, in this case it is clensing and freeing--she's wanting release. I believe that something happened between MLE and whoever she was with, that person left, and MLE realizes that she wants that person back and feels guilty about what happened. She probably hurt the other person badly ("the spear in your side is me"). Time passes (the "dogs" are further away), but MLE still feels the pain and guilt of the situation ("damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain"). Just my current take on the song (it always seems to change). But it would be noteworthy--could our beloved MLE actually have written a song where she wasn't the one visciously spurned? Just a thought. Looking forward to any other takes on this ambiguous song.

Dogs--an overview m.mcardle@btinternet.com (Margaret McArdle) wrote on LSD: <> Hi Margaret, I was wondering why the meaning of the lyrics changed for you after you found out Melissa was a lesbian?? I mean if she were hetero would you still think the lyrics were about drug abuse??? And why do you think that the "you" in LSD is a hetero female friend of the lesbian "I"...and that because of a hetero/lesbian thing this song is about unrequited love?? In which lines do you find proof for this? Please, explain some more!!! Actually I never felt that LSD referred to the name of that 70's British band (and neither to the drug LSD). I am asking myself if MLE knew at all about a band which was popular in England in the 1970's. (Hey Melissa, did ya??? ) Even if she did, why would she name this song after a band??? We don't know to which of their songs she might be referring to, and so this would have been a very *inside* thing and it doesn't make any sense to me at all. I always took "late September dogs" quite literally. "September" because it might actually had been September when what she is talking about took place. Or "September" as a metaphor for change...late September...summer is over, fall has just begun. ("I feel change in the air since you left"). Since you left....so obviously the "you" left her, her lover left her, simply a split up...probably because of someone else ("the hand that touches you is mine and mine alone"). So the "I" is standing at the window, maybe at night, and hears those dogs outside. Maybe stray dogs who bark and howl...a metaphor for abandonment, and loneliness, and desperation. "And I understand their warning I understand their song"....when you are "abandoned", left by your lover, you might end up emotionally just like such a stray dog out there in the streets. That is this warning the "I" understands and she's afraid that this might happen to her. Maybe it was a night like tonight!! September, full moon outside, the dogs howling at the moon, singing their own song...feeling lonely and desperately. You don't want this to happen to you, you didn't want her to leave, you are tormenting yourself, why had this to happen??? So maybe the only thing you can think of now because you are feeling so awful and desperately, is that at least you don't ever want her to forget what she did to you..."the spear in your side is me"...if you can't love me anymore, if I can't have you anymore, remember me at least...some kind of "get even" thing. Her soul remembers and clutches to this pain, she can't let go although she wants the rain to wash her clean of all these memories, wants to start all over...and eventually she will get over this. Since she was "the child who could walk before she crawled"...and yet she doesn't know what to do at the moment, but she will find ways!! Writing a song about it for example. When I listen to YIA and the song "Ruins" and to the line "If I am to heel I must first learn to feel in the ruins", I feel that IMO Melissa through all these years had the need to really get down deep inside of her, go where that pain is, deal with it, even use it as "safe chains" to get over it eventually. And obviously then she really met her *love*. The song "Yes I Am" is a very very beautiful love song for somebody. A song which also deals with these awful memories of the past, they aren't forgotten, but she has dealt with them and learned from them and now this time it is the *real thing*. I remember months ago we had this discussion about Melissa's developing or non-developing anymore as a songwriter/musician. When I listen to her songs from ME thru YLS, I feel so much of developing, of maturing, of growing. Musically wise AND as a person...if you can possibly say that about somebody you don't know, but just taken into account that her songs are always very personal and about her own feelings, she has said that often enough. Sometimes I believe you have to look at all her 5 albums at once!!! I mean look at "Keep it precious" and then look at LSD!!!! In KIP there's nothing left of that "the spear in your side is me" thing. Here I really see how much she has "matured"......"Holding you tight with wide open arms". Geez, enough now!!! It must be because of that beautiful, beautiful full moon out there. Martina....who is very much looking forward to that day next month when there will be a beautiful full moon again!!! October 16th!!! ~~Am I your passion, your promise, your end...I say I am, oh yes I am~~ ****************************************************************** * 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, 18 Sep 1997 03:11:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Trpcaldrem@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* On LSD...

I recently borrowed the video "Wecome Home, Roxy Carmichael" from a friend; she insisted that I watch the movie because Melissa does 2 songs on the soundtrack. One of them is "I Will Never Be the Same" which I know & love, but the other one was unfamiliar to me. It's called "Don't Look at Me." Could anyone tell me where I could find that one? Thanks!

But since I'm feeling a little snickery tonight, couldn't this, with all appropriate accolades and admiration of course, describe 2/3 of Melissa's discography? Who was it a couple of years ago who did an all-in-fun parody of a day in the life Melissa's songwriting? I remember there being a bag of flashcards about heartache, retribution, and the like. Anyone remember? I thought that was *the* funniest post to the list in five years. A close second was Deb's explanation of the "Nowhere to Go" video (it's Melissa saying, "Come on baby, let's get out of this town..."). As for LSD, I'm with Renee and others on this one. It's late September now, the coyotes in the hills are desperate for water, and there hasn't been rain for months. The Santa Ana winds are expected this weekend and, in the heart of Laurel Canyon, the sound of those late september dogs can be eery and haunting. Come on, let it rain. LSD has, for me, always seemed to capture the quiet and trembling despair that permeates LA. Sometimes in this city, it's not hard to "understand their song."

But she's not only going to be hunting for an apartment... We have big plans for Shirl... two weekends from now I'm taking her into the High Sierra for a two-day backpacking trip to 12000 feet (got to get there before the first snow!)... next weekend we're day-hiking in a local Bay Area wilderness area which has elk, mountain lions, bobcats, deer, wild pigs and wild turkey... amazing that it's only one hour from San Fran! But this weekend we're celebrating Shirl's *birthday*... Sunday afternoon (late, about 5:30pm) a bunch of us are meeting in San Jose for a rowdy Shirl-birthday... any Bay Area ME-listers who would like to join us can get detailed info from me via private email.

I am asking myself if MLE knew at all about a band which was popular in England in the 1970's. (Hey Melissa, did ya??? ) Even if she did, why would she name this song after a band??? We don't know to which of their songs she might be referring to, and so this would have been a very *inside* thing and it doesn't make any sense to me at all. Melissa does write about *inside* things. For example, the whole buffalo necklace thing ("the way you make the buffalo roam"--NS) is an inside thing that she has chosen to share with us. I agree with you in that I don't think she was actually referring to the band directly, but I wouldn't put it past her. I am still holding to the "late september dogs" as a legend or omen. Renee posted that she thought there were some legends, and I am anxiously waiting to see if anyone else may know. >Aren't there some legends that go along with them?

What that direction is, or where it leads I have not a clue. Somewhere different then the painful place I am stuck now would be nice. The only thing I am sure of is that I want her by my side as I travel down this path. If she would take my hand I am sure that together we could find some semblance of peace, and I am sure we would find happiness. In this hectic world I am sure of very few things, and I am cannot even remember the things I am sure of. In my life I have never been aware of the price of love or the pain it inflects on people. Now love has my full and undivided attention. I never loved him, but I thought I would grow to. He was the man I saw myself settling down with and trying to start the life I had been brought to think was the one I wanted. If she had not came along I would have married without love and maybe even been content. But I would have never been able to experience happiness or true, undying love that I am sure awaits me in her arms. If she had not came along I would never had felt this pain in my chest that aches so bad that I cry. I would have never known the true me, and I would have never loved someone with all my heart like I do her. I would have never seen the uselessness in my current place and direction in life. I would have never lived life to its fullest, done things for myself and things for someone I loved. If I had never laid eyes on her I would had been able to walk through this world blind to love that surrounds each flower, bird, song, word, sunset, sunrise. Everything that I see as so beautiful would have not been as radiant or half as wonderful to gaze upon. If I had never meet her I would have never seen all the world, I would have never heard my heart sing so....strong and clear. I would have never understood how a person can give all of themself to another and ask for nothing in return. If I had never meet her I would have never felt my heart shatter in to a million pieces with one tear drop that belonged to another, I would have never cried when I was away from her side. I would have been lonely inside my soul, if I had never meet her. The simple act of calling to hear another's voice would have been lost on me, if I had never heard her's. The sparkle in my eyes would have been dimmer and the spring in my step not as high. My laughter would not have been as loud, my crying not as hard, my love not as deep, my days not as bright, my nights not so restless for her touch, my mind not so clouded, my heart not as strong, my will not so weak, if I had never kissed her. I would not long for an embrace, a gentle touch across my body, her breathe in my lungs, her fingers in my hair, if she had never touched my soul. If we had never meet, I would have never been me, I would have never been whole. If I had never meet her I would have never lived. If I had never meet her I would have never loved with all of my heart, my soul, my mind, my body, my being....if I had never known her. ****************************************************************** * 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, 20 Sep 1997 01:11:38 -0400 (EDT) From: TazTra@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* ok....help me out here.

I read daily in newspapers and see daily on the television grave injustices and huge travesties that occur. These occur with little more than a murmur from the masses of the people. People live in poverty and the world turns a deaf ear, and many proceed to eat their meals without even a thought of other peoples hunger. People are shot on the streets of our cities and the world shuts their eyes and thanks god that they live where they live. People fight in wars for little more then land and pride and we discuss the political ramifications for our countries, never even considering that fact that many have lost loved ones today because of those wars. Governments build weapons that could kill us all and we sit in silence and pray that we will never have to suffer because of these weapons of mass destruction. These are but a few of the situations that face us everyday and with everyday these are the situations that we ignore. While all this occurs our world leaders who stand up and fight against these great tragedies die. We no longer have the true leaders who stand up for what is right and just, rather we have pseudo leaders who stand up for how this will help them. We have lost Princess Diana, a women who touched the diseased and fought for their survival. A women who went out of her way to do not what was easy and conviant but rather what was right. A women who defied a royal tradition by acting from her heart. A women who will live forever within many people because she truly tried to do what was right for the people of her country and the people of the world. We have lost a poor women by the name of Mother Teresa. A women who dedicated her self to the poor, the diseased, and the aged. A women who gave up personal satisfaction and comfort for the well being of other. A women who by god's grace gave out her hand of help and her heart of love. She too will be greatly missed in a world where leaders like this come few and far between. In this world were people appear not to care about each other, the death of these two fabulous people hurts those of us who care about the well being of others greatly. Many sit and wonder who will be the next person to move the world? Who will touch the hearts and the minds and do what is right? Who will we follow? I offer a suggestion. Listen to the music. The words help touch, sooth and guide us. Listen to the words and stand up for right and wrong. Be a leader for youeself. If others do the same, maybe someday the world will be a better place. Music inspires the power of love. Love my friends is the cure to all of our world problems. Not simply love for just your friends, family, and God. But a deeper love. A love that is spread from your heart to every man, women, and child on the face of the earth. A love that is unbreakable. A love that moves you to do not what is just easy but instead allows you to do what is right. A love that comes from the depth of your heart and pours out onto every person you meet. Whether they are black or white. Jew or Gentile. Democrat or Republican. Gay or straight. It does not matter. It is simply follow the rule to follow your heart and love one another. Love for One Another will lift us to the greatest heights that this race has ever seen. Love for One Another will make the hungry full. Will make the killings stop. Will make the bombs go away and the wars end. Love for One Another will make a new world. So in our days of mourning great leaders who have past away remember a great leader who is still among us. A leader that speaks through music. A leader that believes in love. A leader that will one day be remembered as being a catalyst of change. A leader that will help to create a New World. Human Beings Loving each Other. God is LOVE!

I find most of the themes (love/lust/lost love etc.) to be worn out and the lyrics to be forced/immature (I won't give examples here since this is an opinion post; I'd be happy to give examples if anyone wants to know). And I do realize that there are some exceptions to the themes, notably Silent Legacy, Testify (*great* song), etc. So, I began to wonder where's she'll end up going with her song writing. I'm a serious Springsteen fan--probably the only artist I'm more a fan of than ME. I look at how his work grew from many of the same themes as ME's, and I hope the same will happen with her. Given the sales on his last cd, some will say that I'm wishing bad things for ME, but I'd like to see her song writing grow beyond the themes that she has done *well* on the earlier albums. I'm wondering if taking this time off will help. Many on this list speculated that parenthood would give her a new outlook on life and therefore new material. I hope so. One part of Springsteen's growth has been his experimentation with different genre's and sounds. I wonder if ME has can "hear music" that isn't made for 2-3 guitars/keyboards/drums. I wonder if she'd consider horns, strings, etc. John Mellencamp is another artist who I think has grown *so much* as a songwriter with pretty much each album. I can think of so many who have deteriorated with age/experience--far more than those who have improved. I hope ME follows the footsteps of Springsteen/Mellencamp. While I haven't kept up with the LSD posts, I think it's a great idea to go back and look at old songs. One of my all-time favorites is Don't You Need. Note, this is one of those themes that she's done many times since, but I think this is one of her best efforts at it. I saw her perform this as the opening number the first time I saw her--April '89 at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philadelphia. The impact that of that performance has contributed to my being such an admirer of her music. I'm just wondering where she's headed next with her music. Enough. I'm thinking too much for so early in the morning.

Wow Jacky and everyone...some food for thought! ***Purely Jill's Opinion!!*** I recently plopped YLS into the cd player after months of keeping in it's jacket and realized why I don't listen to it much. There are some remarkable songs on it..but it seemed..too smooth or something. Having said that, I don't see a digression toward YLS..in fact YIA is my favorite overall CD from Melissa. I like to think YLS was kind of a "quick let's get something out before the baby comes out!" thing. As far as the growth thing goes..I join you in your hope for her growth as a person..but I think that's been happening for quite some time..maybe as I read somewhere (can't imagine where!) from "Keep It Precious" on. On the other hand there've been some songs since then that make me wonder about said growth! But ain't that the truth for all of us? I do know this much..I seem to be a true-blue Gemini in a lot of ways and we do tend to get bored easily..and I have never listened to any artist as many times as Melissa Etheridge.. and I've never had the slightest hint of boredom. If she gets any better than this, I'm not sure my little heart can take it!! But you know what?

Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* MLE song on new benefit compilation boy, this psychic thing is getting scary! ;-) last night, i was perusing my new copy of "premiere" (the 10th anniversary issue with kevin costner, jodie foster, and mel gibson on the cover) when i discovered an ad on page 42 for a new benefit compilation entitled "amazing grace". this is what the ad says: "An international cast of artists gather to benefit cancer research. A seamless uplifting listening experience, featuring tracks by an all-star cast including: Ani DiFranco, Daniel Lanois, and Bob Marley, as well as rare tracks from Automatic Baby, Melissa Etheridge, and The Cranberries. Profits from this album will be donated to various cancer research facilities." the other artists listed in the ad include P.M. Dawn, Jane Siberry, Djamel Ben Yelles, Angelique Kidjo, Wally Badarou, and Uman. of course, i was planning on doing some more searching about this compilation when i arrived this morning. however, that proved to be unnecessary, because a lurker (but a very reliable source ) had forwarded the following article to me... * * * * * By PAUL VERNA Billboard NEW YORK - With acts ranging from rock superstars U2, Melissa Etheridge, and the Cranberries to reggae icon Bob Marley to Afro-pop chanteuse Angelique Kidjo, Island Records has been synonymous with diversity. On Sept. 30, the label will make a show of its eclectic roster by releasing "Amazing Grace," an all-star compilation of music with spiritual overtones. Net proceeds from the project will benefit the Multiple Myeloma Fund at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the T.J. Martell Foundation for Leukemia, Cancer, and AIDS Research, two foundations dear to Island founder Chris Blackwell. Multiple myeloma, the medical name for bone marrow cancer, afflicts up to 15,000 people each year, of which 9,000 die, according to the album's liner notes. "I've gotten to know people involved with the Multiple Myeloma Fund personally, specifically Dr. Joseph Michaeli," says Blackwell. "So I'd learned that he was really on to something, and I wanted to help out by trying to raise some funds for the cause." The record is made up of tracks - many of them previously unreleased - by Ani DiFranco, Uman, P.M. Dawn, Jane Siberry, Djamel Ben Yelles, the Cranberries, Marley, Automatic Baby (a group comprising members of U2 and R.E.M.), Kidjo, Etheridge, Wally Badarou, and Daniel Lanois. Bookended by DiFranco's and Lanois' renditions of the title tune, the album also includes live versions of Siberry's "Calling All Angels," the Cranberries' "Dreaming My Dreams," and Etheridge's "I Will Never Be The Same"; Automatic Baby's recording of the U2 hit "One," which features U2's Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. as well as R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and Mike Mills; and Kidjo's cover of the George Gershwin and De Bose Heyward's "Summertime." Kidjo says the "Amazing Grace" project had special resonance for her because her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Although Kidjo's sister, 45, is doing well, the event served as a wake-up call to the family to be extra vigilant about their health. Kidjo says she was drawn to "Summertime" because she has always loved the song, which is from the score of "Porgy And Bess," and wanted to record it in Beninese, her native tongue. "Originally, I recorded it for an album that was going to be French artists singing jazz, but it wasn't released," says Kidjo. Then, when Blackwell approached her about "Amazing Grace," Kidjo thought the track would be a natural fit.

I find most of the themes (love/lust/lost love etc.) to be worn out and the lyrics to be forced/immature YLS is not my fave of MLEs. But IMO, Shriner's Park is an amazing song and is capable of standing alone as a tribute to MLE's growth. The song is a testimony in a way. Its tone is not the "poor me" kind of "lost love" attitude, but a mature, albeit sad, look back at a person who played a very intimate role in shaping Melissa. I personally think that it took guts to write the song. >>that there are some exceptions to the themes, notably Silent Legacy, Testify (*great* song), etc. These are two of my favorites. Especially Testify. These songs show the depth and broadened sense of awareness that MLE is capable of expressing. I *really* hope that more songs will continue this type of songwriting. >>song writing grow beyond the themes that she has done *well* on the earlier albums. I agree. However, I think that she has already shown that she *can* do that. But being able to do something does not mean that one should, or even that one enjoys it. If Melissa continues to put out CDs that are predominantly "love, lust, and lost love" oriented, so be it. I will buy them, and I will go to as many concerts as possible. *Most* music is immature fluff. But we like to listen to it, myself included. To quote the Rolling Stones, "It's only rock'n'roll, but I like it!" >>Many on this list speculated that parenthood would give her a new outlook on life and therefore new material. Maybe, but I have 6 young nieces, and if she covers the "Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round" I will not listen to it! :) (I probably would, but only if it were a duet with Barney!) >>One part of Springsteen's growth has been his experimentation with different genre's and sounds. I wonder if ME has can "hear music" that isn't made for 2-3 guitars/keyboards/drums. I wonder if she'd consider horns, strings, etc. God, I've been wanting that for years! She has done a little, but that may have just been the production (ugh, I can't remember now, but I know Dermot what's-his-name played cello--this is going to drive me CRAZY! Help!) I'd like to hear more of that kind of thing. Different sounds. I'm kinda waiting for Melissa to be the one to bring back the old rock solo saxophone. Can't you just hear her in concert with Jon Shanks and someone like Clarence Clemons? That would be *heavenly*. >>John Mellencamp is another artist who I think has grown *so much* as a songwriter with pretty much each album. I agree that John has really extended himself. But you know which albums of his I listen to? The early ones (up until Rain on the Scarecrow). I must add here that the one and only artist that I am a bigger fan of than MLE is Elton John/Bernie Taupin. You just can't argue with 30 years. But they had songs, albums, and pretty much an entire decade that just wasn't up to par for them. If YLS isn't your cup of tea, maybe something later (soon, please!) will be better. I just see it as a necessary thing for any artist to have up and down times. I personally thought NE was a "down time," but after that come YIA, which is my favorite. >>I'm just wondering where she's headed next with her music. To Rhonnda's living room, I think. Then hopefully to *mine*. :) Sorry for rambling, I've been a hermit today.

I find most of the themes (love/lust/lost love etc.) to be worn out and the lyrics to be forced/immature << > YLS is not my fave of MLEs. But IMO, Shriner's Park is an amazing song and is capable of standing alone as a tribute to MLE's growth. The song is a testimony in a way. Its tone is not the "poor me" kind of "lost love" attitude, but a mature, albeit sad, look back at a person who played a very intimate role in shaping Melissa. I personally think that it took guts to write the song.< AMEN SHARON! I must disagree with Jacky's words on YLS. Although YLS isn't my favorite cd, I can't use the word "weak" to describe any of Melissa's work. She has proven the depth of her talent as a singer/songwriter again and again. IMH (and hopeful!!) opinion, I hope she continues to do so for a long time to come. It is certainly apparent that she is not afraid of trying new themes or stretching her parameters a bit. Melissa writes about the world as she sees it. Be it commentary on her own lessons learned, or the lessons the world is wrestling with now. Because of the anaylitical turn many of the discussions here have taken lately, I have found myself being much more anylitical when listening to MLE. I've listened to all MLE I have, in no--particular order. Yes, many of her songs are about love/lust/lost love,but they have changed over time. YIA and YLS, by far her best selling cd's, are not at the top of my list. Both have some wonderful work on them, but (IMHO) sound too commercial...almost pop-music. (espically YIA) I prefer the rougher sound of her earlier work. More than anything, I admire the woman. It's takes guts to write and sing about many of the things she does. Like wearing your heart on your sleeve. Anyway you look at it though, I'll be first in line when her next cd comes out....when the tickets go on sale....when she FINALLY appears on Rosie!!! LOL No musician has ever made such an impression in my life. I'm just glad she's OUT THERE! :-) Melissa, thanks for doing what you do. Listers, thanks for keeping the discussion lively! ;-) Until next I de-lurk! btw...sorry if I rambled! peace! chef ______________________________________________________ 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, 25 Sep 1997 12:54:29 -0400 From: "Deb" Subject: Re: *etheridge* future of MLE's songwriting SHARON.A.ROUW@monsanto.com wrote: > >>Many on this list speculated that parenthood would give her a new > outlook on life and therefore new material. > > Maybe, but I have 6 young nieces, and if she covers the "Wheels on the > Bus Go Round and Round" I will not listen to it! :) Are you sure?

Okay, Jill's got a Horrible crush on the baritone sax player (Baaaarbara) ..but geez it was cool to hear the Billy Tipton Memorial Sax Quartet join in with the Indigo Girls in Seattle..and I agree, Deb..their use of different instruments really rocks!

He is actually also in a band with his brother and some others - they are pretty good, and a lot of fun live. They are called the 'Low and Sweet Orchestra'. One aspect I love (of their music) is the mandolin - and I believe Dermot plays that in the band. When I saw them in Philly though, unfortunately, he wasn't with them. I have always felt that "I'm the Only One" sounds an awful lot like "Black Velvet". The only other song "twin" I can think of at the moment is the following - I always thought that the song "Steal Away" (I'm not sure who sang it) sounded a lot like the Doobie Brothers' "What a Fool Believes".

I'll bet Deb agrees! ;-) I've not been able to decide if YLS is a weak effort, or just merely too commercial...trying too hard to capitalize on the success of YIA. I thought that YLS was over-produced, and I really do not care for MLE w/o the Ovation. That Ovation really adds a lot to setting MLE apart from the 'other' girl rockers. But, as has been suggested, there is nothing that says she can't branch out. I just don't think that YLS is her best effort lyrically. >I find most of the themes (love/lust/lost love etc.) to be worn >out and the lyrics to be forced/immature [snip] >So, I began to wonder where's she'll end up going with her >song writing. I was just discussing this with a friend the other night as we watched Elton John's Storytellers on Vh-1. Bernie Taupin has written some excellent material for EJ over the years, and I know that some people don't give artists (such as EJ) much credit if they don't write their own lyrics (saying that an artist cannot 'feel' the lyrics as well if the words are not their own). However I would really like to see MLE branch out *lyrically* as opposed to instrumentally. By branching out lyrically, I don't just mean subject matter, but singing other's lyrics as well. A good example, IMO, is Joan Armatrading's 'Weakness In Me'. While it's a cover, it's still someone else's writing and I think that MLE does an excellent job with her own interpretation of this song. It piques my curiosity wrt to how she would do with interpreting lyrics written specifically for her--not just covering a song that's already been recorded. >I'm a serious Springsteen fan-- Why the hell is it that I have *never* been able to 'get into' Bruce? That doesn't make the anti-Christ or anything, does it? ;-) >Given the sales on his last cd, some will say that I'm >wishing bad things for ME, but I'd like to see her >song writing grow beyond the themes that she has done >*well* on the earlier albums. I don't think that you're wishing bad things for MLE at all...I think that a lot of her fans are probably interested in seeing her develop. I think she's changed a lot since her first album, but I'm not necessarily equating change with development. Even though she still sings a lot about 'lost love/heartache/etc, it's not as harsh and biting as the first album. I believe that MLE said most of the material on the 'red album' was written with a particular ex in mind, which explains the anger, frustration, etc. I think that now, many of her songs are still based upon what she knows about losing love and being kicked around--however they have more of a 'general' theme...they're not based on MLE's experience with one person or situation, but on many different occurances. Given the tone of YLS, it seems that MLE has come full circle in writing about her love life and history with relationships...from the anger and resentment directed toward someone who has hurt her, to the longing and profession of love for someone who she feels is 'the one' for her and who reciprocates those feelings. >Many on this list speculated that parenthood would give her >a new outlook on life and therefore new material. I've thought about this, too, and I have a sneaking feeling that she might delve into writing about political issues and the state of the world, so-to-speak (such as how certain issues might affect Bailey Jean or any other child growing up in today's world). I, for one, hope this does not happen. I love the Indigo Girls, but I can only take so much of their political messages. I listen to music for the enjoyment factor and also for how it relates to my life and personal issues (many of MLE's lyrics describe how I've felt at certain times in my life)...therefore, I become weary toward music with major policital and social issue themes. >I wonder if ME has can "hear music" that isn't made for 2-3 >guitars/keyboards/drums. Interesting thought. If I'm interpreting your question correctly, I would assume that MLE *can* hear other music since she plays the piano. My reasoning is thus: she needs to be able to hear both a base-line and a melody in addition to being able to sing while playing. That's a lot of 'stuff' going on all at once for her not to be able to hear what's happening. >I wonder if she'd consider horns, strings, etc. Well, didn't she use a cello on PYH? I think? I'm not sure I can 'hear' horns backing MLE's voice...what did you have in mind? >John Mellencamp is another artist who I think has grown >*so much* as a songwriter with pretty much each album. Agreed...although I really did *not* care for the Scarecrow CD! I think a lot of an artist's musical development is based in their own personal development and maturity. I can remember when JM first hit the scene and was *extremely* chauvenistic in his attitude toward women. I think this was a combination of his youth and his belief that all men who sang rock music *had* to feel that way toward women. I think, however, that as he's grown older, he's come to realize that he can be successful and just be himself (plus the fact that his own daughter has 'come of age' and he realises that he'd probably kill any man who treated her the way he used to act toward women! ). Well, that's my two cents for now... jen - ---- Don't mind my driving...I'm reloading. ****************************************************************** * 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, 25 Sep 1997 17:25:51 -0400 (EDT) From: TazTra@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Hello Can someone please e-mail me if this actually works?

By branching out lyrically, I don't just mean subject matter, but singing other's lyrics as well. A good example, IMO, is Joan Armatrading's 'Weakness In Me'. While it's a cover, it's still someone else's writing and I think that MLE does an excellent job with her own interpretation of this song. It piques my curiosity wrt to how she would do with interpreting lyrics written specifically for her--not just covering a song that's already been recorded. I would like to see this as well. One of Melissa's strong points is her interpretation and performance of music. Not just her own. Many of her covers are of songs that I didn't know before, or don't like, but her presentation has made them some of my favorites (esp. The Weakness in Me). Just my $.02.

MLE developed a more commercial, mainstream sound on YIA and YLS with the hiring of hugh padgam as her producer and the dropping of kevin and fritz from her band. now, for her to take a "leap of faith" and write something as commercially unsuccessful (although critically acclaimed) as bruce's "the ghost of tom joad" might mean that MLE would have to risk losing a part of her mainstream audience ("the fence straddlers"), who might be turned off with her unfamiliar material. she might have to start playing smaller venues (can i get an amen on that? ), because her new material may just not appeal to the same numbers of people as YIA and YLS. during his TGOTJ tour, bruce had to play smaller venues, which was partially due to the intimate nature of the work but also because his album wasn't as commercially viable as his earlier stuff. however, his smaller audiences or lower album sales didn't seem to matter to bruce. it looked like he was enjoying himself immensely during this tour, and i certainly thought that the 2 TJ shows i saw were some of the *best* concerts i had ever seen [granted, i had front row seats to one of them, but that's a story for another time...;-) ]. that said, i hope that MLE *does* take the chance and experiment with some new ideas, even it means that she may sell fewer albums and play to smaller audiences. i don't believe a smaller audience is a sign of failure, because if the material feels right to *her*, then that's all that should be important, not whether she's still playing arenas, IMHO. ================ that lurker ;-) , "Deb" said: >Are you sure?

Friday September 26 8:07 AM EDT Joplin Biopic Gets Start Date By Andrew Hindes HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - There appears to be a winner in the race to get a Janis Joplin biopic before the cameras. 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.

I sit behind a blue screen and I watch and I listen. In the quiet of this night I feel. I am taken back to a place when out of the words of a motion picture came silence and then a voice singing and at that second I knew I had to watch this movie through and see to whom the voice belonged. And there in the credits she came forth this name of a woman whom I had only heard of once when she sang of "Bring Me Some Water". And in this moment I knew magic was in the air. I often close my eyes as if to be blind and simply listen. The words are not so much as is the heart and the soul and the passion which springs forth from this spirit which graces us so. If I were blind I could hear it still. If I could not hear I could sway to this sound as a willow in the wind. Somewhere, somehow she reaches out and touches a new heart every day even in the silence now. I do not disect this womans talents I do not condemn those who do. I simply listen and answers flow as clear as the stream throughout the wood. There have been times on this list of late that harsh words are spoken from unthinking hearts as if those who read do not feel. There are those who seem so quick to lunge for the throats of the innocent and try to bring them down by pointing out what they feel to be mistakes. In the quiet tonight I wonder who amoung us has the switch to expose. I have seen our Lady Of Etheridge falter on the stage and forget the words to the songs but never the music. And it was not wasted time to witness this act. It was a glimmer and a glimpse at humor and humaness and laughter as she herself pointed this out and we all smiled with her. And still the music never faltered nor the crowd be displeased. For the music remained steady as the beating of a heart and the blind saw and the deaf heard and the warmth and love swayed in the crowd of strangers come together to be one with the music. So in the silence tonight behind the screen I do not dodge nor do I condemn I simply sit and listen and feel for the music is why we have a list and why there is no bitter cold nor snarling that gets past it for it is steady and strong and has no fear.

You got some stamina since you're still "with her" and obviously haven't given up on her totally?? 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???) . And I feel the changes AND the development she has made since her first album in '88. I wonder if you can really compare her to Springsteen, Mellencamp, Browne and the like in terms of looking at the changes they have gone through over their many many years. In terms of Rock'n Roll MLE's career is quite young I think. Just 5 albums so far. The woman is 36 years old!!! And if you look at Bonnie Raitt and her more than 25 years in the business, well, way to go Melissa!!! <> Her first album and B&C are just GREAT albums in my opinion, too. Not a single song on them where I could say, naw, not really. But I think hadn't she changed and developed after B&C she wouldn't be here anymore. Well, maybe she'd be back playing the real small clubs, have a handful of hard core fans and others might go..."Etheridge??? Yeah that was that one chick with the 12-string who had that one hit back in the late 80s. Whatever happened to her??" Both ME and B&C had this enormous intensity, this "fire", this anger. And starting with NE I really see her changing and growing gradually until today, until "This war is over". That fire is still there, but she's older now and there are 10 years of living in between!!! And I am really glad for her that she has come to terms with many things in her life...obviously she must have since that's how I understand TWIO. Maybe she really cares about what her fans think of her music. But I cannot believe that this is really of such a great influence to her when she writes songs...if you start to think about what "the public" might want you to do, I don't think you'd be in the business for too long. And since today I am responding to a post by Deb, I remember that months ago Deb made a post saying something like she'd think MLE would appreciate fans who offer constructive criticism as much if not more than those who pledge their blind allegiance regardless of the perceived quality of Melissa's work. I think that's almost an exact quote, although I didn't go back and check it. I really remember that post since I found it to be very very patronizing. Perceived quality???? According to which "standard"????? Pledging blind allegiance???? Well..... I admire MLE for being who she is and doing what she does, for making YLS although she must have sensed that many fans would want her to do stuff like BMSW over and over again or who ask for "Ready to Love" at every single concert. I like her for making the list of the "100 worst dressed people in show business" almost every year. I like her for being "real". I think she has come a long way since Similar Features!!!!

I have enjoyed everyone opinions on her music and since I don't get into analyzing it is interesting to find out how others feel. I listen to her music for enjoyment and pleasure. When I listen to her songs and feel the power in her voice something inside of me stirs. I have said that Melissa's music touches my heart and moves my sole and I still feel that way. I am not sick of the topics, love, love found, love lost, or lust but if she branches out on other topics, fine. I saw Melissa eight times last year on her YLS tour and would have seem her more if I could have afforded it. I love to watch her perform and feel the energy that she give to us. I remember her body movements and those eyes, God, can she work those eyes and hair. Maybe you can tell I am a die-hard fan of hers and I imagine that I will always will be.

Hey everyone, I just did some major shopping yesterday and wanted just wanted to let you all know what I found. First of all I finally picked up the Janis Box! That is awesome!! Next, I also picked up a Janis Bootleg called "Summertime." It was recorded in Amersterdam in 1969. It's GREAT! It is probably one of the best quality boots I have (keeping in mind it was recorded in 69). It's on the Moonraker lable which I have some great stuff from there. It's even got some talking between the songs. Here's a question about Janis' catalog. I haven't picked any of her individual CD's yet because i'm scared i'm going to get them and in the next 6 mos. or so they are going to get remastered. Does anyone know if there is a date for this yet, or if it is even in the works? The chances seem so great w/ movies coming out an all. Some catalogs that they have already remastered is the Kiss, Journey, Van Morrison, Hendrix, Moody Blues, just to name a few. Alright, well, I purchased some other CD's but these were the most relevant, so I'll leave you with that, Talk with y'all later, Roger - who is not southern :) ****************************************************************** * 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, 27 Sep 1997 15:04:56 -0400 From: briefqueen@juno.com (M Something) Subject: *etheridge* RE: Where will ME's music go next?

I couldn't agree more. I attended my first Indigo Girls concert last night. I think they are extremely talented musicians with lovely voices. I couldn't wait to hear them sing. Unfortunately, I had to wait 1 1/2 hours before they started their set. I didn't care much for the opening band, Indigenous. Their music just didn't do anything for me. However, I did enjoy it when Amy and Emily joined them on stage for their closing song - "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee." As the lights came up and the stage was being set up for what I thought was the IG's set, I started to get excited. However, that excitement quickly changed to disappointment and then anger. Amy Ray came out and introduced "tonight's speaker," Winona LaDuke, who is a Native American staff member for Honor the Earth. LaDuke immediately launched into a tirade about the evils of the white man and the white man's laws. I couldn't believe my ears. Yes, the U.S. gov't makes some bad laws. Yes, Native Americans have been hurt by some of the laws. But I didn't think it was appropriate for her to address a captive audience of several thousand people, made up predominantly of white people, and tell them that all of their laws and their gov't are bad. It was reverse discrimination and I was insulted. After LaDuke left the stage, we were "treated" to a slide presentation, accompanied by very bad audio narration, of the plight of Native Americans and the harm that nuclear waste will cause them. By this time, the formerly well-behaved audience was jeering. Can you say "overkill"? Any positive message they might have left with the audience was lost by then. On a more positive note, once the IG's finally started to sing (at 9:30), they were wonderful. Their musical talent is undeniable. Their band was taking a few days off, so it was just the two of them and they sounded great. I must say, though, that the entire show, including the two encores and a 10-15 minute interlude where Amy and Emily walked throughout the audience collecting political action cards signed by the audience to send to Washington, was over by 11:10. After 8 albums, you'd think they could play for more than 1 1/2 hours. Perhaps MLE and her powerhouse shows have spoiled me. I can't wait to be spoiled like that again.

Wow!! You got some stamina since you're still "with her" and >obviously haven't given up on her totally?? Personally, I like everything up to YLS. I don't think that NE is as even as strong as YIA, but then that's my opinion. I also don't think that YLS is as strong as NE. I don't think that it's a matter of 'stamina' on Deb's part...after having read Deb's thoughts over the past three years, I would imagine that she doesn't feel the last three albums stack up lyrically to the first two. I think that ME and B&C were more on the poetic side...not as literal in the phrasing as, say, YIA and YLS. You've got 'Late Sept. Dogs' vs. 'I Really Like You'...we're in the middle of trying to figure out just what the hell a late september dog is, but I'm sure we can all agree on what 'I really like you' means (how much 'poetic license' can you really take with that statement? ). It's my strong opinion that MLE wrote the songs on ME and B&C while the memories and events which inspired those songs were really fresh in her memory and her heart...she was writing with more raw feeling in her mind than with the idea of producing and recording. Now that she's had a major success with YIA, she's probably under more pressure to produce success than she was before...hence she might tend to force lyrics. It could also be that she was so much more intense about, and in tune with, the pain and anger in her life early on and maybe has more of knack for writing exceptionally insightful, expressive lyrics if they are drawn from painful experience. I think that YLS is more of a 'having fun' type of experience for her, and maybe she just loses her edge when she's not in pain. This is not a bad thing (I don't *totally* dis- like YLS)...it just doesn't appeal to those folks who crave the passion demonstrated on her first two albums. >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 won't speak for others, but when *I* state that I think YLS is way more commercial than any of her other albums, I mean that I think she tried too hard to shape YLS in the image of what she and her producers thought would sell the best. I personally feel as though she wasn't as intense or in touch with YLS as previous efforts. Someone else mentioned something about not losing the 'fence sitters' after a big success like YIA. I don't necessarily blame MLE for not wanted to lose fans she picked up with YIA (those fans who only bought YIA and who have no interest/knowledge of any- thing she's done previously), but I just don't think that YLS is her strongest effort. The only 'good' albums are not those that no one buys (I don't necessarily think that you could say no one bought any of her first 2 or 3 albums)...that's not what we're basing our opinions of YLS on. >I wonder if you can really compare >her to Springsteen, Mellencamp, Browne and the like in terms of looking at >the changes they have gone through over their many many years. In terms of >Rock'n Roll MLE's career is quite young I think. Just 5 albums so far. The >woman is 36 years old!!! And if you look at Bonnie Raitt and her more than 25 >years in the business, well, way to go Melissa!!! Sure you can compare her to the likes of those mentioned above, as far as development and change is concerned. As far as longevity is concerned, this marks the end of the 11th year since ME was release, but MLE was 'in the business' for several years before that, and she's been writing for over 20 years (although we really don't have access to much material pre-ME). Because MLE and Springsteen have similar careers, some people speculate that MLE could go down the same road as Bruce...have a few big successes and then sit back and take stock in what she's done so far and maybe take a different approach to her art. She very well could release an album or two that won't bode well with her current fan-base, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the music will be bad.

Croft" Subject: *etheridge* melissa at lapiduss' show (long, long, long) allison, jib, and i (hereafter, designated scribe) just returned from a fabulous evening hobnobbing with our new best pal, melissa etheridge . actually, we just got back from maxine lapiduss' show "Situation Tragedy", the opening being a benefit for the aviva center, which is a residential facility that helps abused teenaged girls. hosting the evening were melissa, david hyde pierce, and kathy najimy. there were oodles of other celebs on-hand in the tiny, 99-seat globe playhouse in west hollywood, california. here's the play-by-play...read it and weep! ;-) * 7:00 pm * after nearly mowing down a semi-nuclear family who was innocently crossing the street, i was hungry, so we strolled down santa monica blvd. looking for some carnivorous grub that i could eat downwind from jib. we arrived at the globe playhouse looking for a place to eat while we waited to get into the theatre. we found a bench that was near some paparazzi, who were busy taking pictures of david hyde pierce. before i finished my dead animal wrap, jib exclaimed, "here we go!", nodding towards melissa's black BMW (license plate number...nah, just kidding ;-) ) that was just pulling into the parking lot. melissa was driving, julie was in the front passenger seat, and there was an unknown woman sitting in the back. the paparazzi gathered around the entrance to the parking lot, yelling out melissa's name, only to realize that our gang had snuck in the side door. one photographer was overhead saying, "ain't no big thing." woo, brutal. * 7:20 * we abandoned our bench seat to stand in line. the oodles of celebs started streaming in at this point. in no particular order, here they are: tyne daly (who actually waited in line with the common folk), laurie metcalf (who gabbed with the people right behind us, and then walked right by allison), kathy najimy, kathy kinney, geena davis, and kathy buckley. amidst the hoopla, a silver porsche pulled up (license plate number...nah, just kidding ), cranking some tunes, packed to the brim with blondes named ellen and anne (no last names necessary). they parked and proceeded to the front door of the theatre, walking right by allison who tripped ellen with her brand new two tone hush puppies. well, almost. ok, so they weren't two tone. melissa came out through the side door, posing for the paparazzi and doing an interview with the local ABC news crew. * 7:55 * they *finally* started letting us in. we secured three seats in the balcony of the tiny, tiny theatre. we had a perfect view of the stage and the audience. we then noticed clea lewis, mitzi mccall, and charlie brill in the audience. julie was sitting in the second row with an empty seat next to her. * the show * melissa warmed up the crowd with a swinging medley of janis numbers, obviously preparing for the movie (nah, just kidding...). the MC announced our cohosts, and melissa, david, and kathy took the stage. david began with a take-off of "evita" by substituting appropriate aviva center-related lyrics. then, melissa sang the second verse, and kathy burst out with an operatic third. after singing the song, they thanked the audience for coming to the show, inviting us to a post-show gathering at hugo's. melissa flubbed her line, and david razzed her for that. but to make up for it all, he boasted, "i got to sing with melissa etheridge!" when kathy najimy stood there and sadly said, "what about me?", david replied, "well, you got to sing with melissa etheridge, too!" the show was hysterical. every now and then, we could hear melissa whooping it up. she also led the applause many times. ellen spent the evening groping anne, who had a permanent scowl plastered on her face. tyne seemed amused, but perhaps some of the LA humor was lost on one of the broadway crowd. one of the highlights was during the segment entitled "the lesbian status symbol". when maxine announced that babies were the accoutrement du jour, she tossed a life-sized baby doll to melissa and said, "here, you have experience with this." julie held the doll for awhile, and then passed it to melissa. some of the lesbian parenting schtick seemed to hit a little close to home, as melissa was often seen burying her head in julie's shoulder. maxine closed the show with a rousing rendition of "make your own kind of music", inviting missy (as she called her) on-stage to join her. melissa walked on-stage carrying the baby doll, which she then handed to maxine who tossed it in a nearby box. melissa cringed at the thud. great duet! lots o' fun! and it was clearly wonderful to see melissa performing again. btw, jib's got it on tape for trade only (nah, just kidding...it's not for trade ). * post-show * melissa passed us in the lobby, and spent a real good amount of time chatting with some fans both inside and outside the theatre, even posing for pictures and signing autographs. we started to walk to hugo's, but then allison realized that she wanted to buy a t-shirt, so we went back to the lobby. as we walked into the theatre, we saw julie smoking a butt on our previous bench location. melissa was talking with a couple of fans near the t-shirt area. ever the prepared one , i whipped out my trusty blue sharpie that i'd been carrying in my purse. jib held out her program and said, "sorry to interrupt, but could you sign this?" melissa willingly obliged. i also held out my program, and asked if she'd sign mine as well. as she was signing it, i said, "congratulations on your movie. i understand that you got a new director..." melissa interrupted me, and exclaimed, "yes, it's finally going to happen!" and did one of those patented melissa "yes!" moves. she turned back to the original two fans, quickly finishing her conversation with them. she shook their hands, so allison and i reached forward to shake her hand, too. everyone had shaken melissa's hand except for jib. melissa was about 6 feet away and both she and jib made false starts towards each other. the handshake was never realized. * party * we took melissa up on her post-show party invitation but she was a no-show. there was, however, a great spread, an open bar, and a choice selection of celebs, including geena davis, clea lewis, david hyde pierce, downtown julie brown (who was conspicuously absent from the performance), kathy kinney, kathy buckley, and kathy najimy. allison spoke to clea lewis and kathy kinney, while jib networked. i had meat and merlot. when it seemed like we were closing down the place, we decided to cash in our chips and leave. we loitered outside hugo's briefly, while allison finished her tasty pastry. melissa, julie, and an unknown woman and a man walked right by us back towards the theatre. they spotted geena davis who was leaving the parking garage in her infiniti j-30 (license plate number...nah, just kidding). melissa and julie waved her down, so geena pulled over and got out to chat. they finished talking to geena and walked back towards the theatre. we're not sure if they were staying for the second show, but we didn't stick around to find out. instead we rushed home to begin typing this marathon post to the list. actually, we cautiously drove home in time to catch the brief snippet about the show on the channel 7 eyewitness news. of course, we must close with the fashion report, sponsored by "ross dress for less", seven locations to serve you in the greater hollywood area. our lady of etheridge was attired in blue jeans, a pair of familiar black cowboy boots, a black t-shirt, a hideous black pinstripe blazer, and a long silver necklace. broke, and accepting sponsorships for the sedona trip, allison, jib, and rhondda "it's too cold to shop in sherman oaks...details at 11." - M.L.

I attended my first Indigo Girls concert last night. I think they are extremely talented musicians with lovely voices. I couldn't wait to hear them sing. Unfortunately, I had to wait 1 1/2 hours before they started their set. I didn't care much for the opening band, Indigenous. Their music just didn't do anything for me. However, I did enjoy it when Amy and Emily joined them on stage for their closing song - "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee." As the lights came up and the stage was being set up for what I thought was the IG's set, I started to get excited. However, that excitement quickly changed to disappointment and then anger. Amy Ray came out and introduced "tonight's speaker," Winona LaDuke, who is a Native American staff member for Honor the Earth. LaDuke immediately launched into a tirade about the evils of the white man and the white man's laws. I couldn't believe my ears. Yes, the U.S. gov't makes some bad laws. Yes, Native Americans have been hurt by some of the laws. But I didn't think it was appropriate for her to address a captive audience of several thousand people, made up predominantly of white people, and tell them that all of their laws and their gov't are bad. It was reverse discrimination and I was insulted. After LaDuke left the stage, we were "treated" to a slide presentation, accompanied by very bad audio narration, of the plight of Native Americans and the harm that nuclear waste will cause them.

As you Indigo Girls fans know, they hail from Georgia, as do I. And they both graduated from Emory University - where my best friend is now attending college. At my friend's Freshman orientation, they did a free concert out on the soccer field for all the Freshman, and I happened to go with my friend that day and was there. After the concert Amy and Emily casually walked around campus by themselves...reminiscing. I caught up with them over by the Dobbs University Center and sat outside with them for about an hour talking. I was extremely nervous at first, but soon got very comfortable with them.

Pretty good show and she played with Steuart Smith on guitar. If it is the same guitarist, he appeared on Never Enough and gave Aint It Heavy its commercial guitar hook. And I have recollections of MLE saying that after she had finished recording most of Never Enough, she realised that the album did not sound much like the MLE that her fans had come to expect. So she sat down and wrote AIH in a hurry and gave it a patented MLE style. She also indicated that Never Enough was her 'experimental' record and that she wouldn't do it again ... I suspect because it did not sell very well or have many obvious singles. Pity. I think MLE now writes an album with 2-4 singles in mind.

Not only did they switch guitars *after* each and every song, many times they changed guitars *during* songs as well. I found this incredibly distracting, and it got to be annoying.

Marcy, you wanted to hear a little more about Ellen's arrival? Well, it was actually quite humorous and very dramatic! The line to get into the Globe Theater extended down the street, blocking the entrance to a small parking lot behind the theater. All of the sudden, I see this light blue Porche pull up and stop at the entrance to the driveway. Ellen is behind the wheel, with Anne in the passenger seat. The car is pretty loud, the windows come down, and they both screamed at everyone in line (in crazy voices) , "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!" And then they zipped into the parking lot. It was absolutely hysterical! And a total surprise...who knew they'd show up. Total bonus! I'd have to say the evening was very surreal with all of the celebrities around. I didn't talk to Melissa...I chickened out. I am now VERY depressed about that (and yes, I had nightmares about it all night Saturday while I slept). I kind of talked to Julie after the show (as she sat outside smoking some VERY expensive cigarettes) and her unidentified female friend (who the hell was that???), while my friend talked to their accompanying male friend (a sitcom writer...he's my friend's client). Melissa was inside the theater talking with all the girls and signing autographs and shaking hands. How could I have been such an idiot! I would have like to have talked with Ellen also, but I never saw her again after the play started (I was seated in the balcony also, so I'm not sure if her seats were underneath mine or if she and Anne left). Excellent play-by-play from Rhondda et.al.! Didn't get to meet you all, but I truly appreciate the tip about the tickets! Hi Maria in Phoenix! Email me--I want to hear what you think about this whole evening, now that we've had a little time to digest it all...

Hi. The song is "Don't Look at Me" from the movie "Welcome home Roxy Carmichael." I have a copy of the song that I tape off the movie.

Hey everyone, I'm sending this to both the Ani Difranco and Melissa Etheridge mailing lists because I found them on a CD together! Talk about making my DAY!! I went in to work and we started working on pricing CD's that are going to be released tomorrow. Well I found this CD w/ Ani and that made me ectatic, then I saw Melissa on it as well, I just didn't know what to do. :) Here's the info: Name: Amazing Grace (Island / 524 395) Due out tomorrow 1. Ani Difranco - Amazing Grace 7:09 <--- I don't think this is different from Dilate. 2. Uman - The white spirit 3. P.M. Dawn - Set adrift on memory bliss 4. Jane Sibery - Calling all angels (LIVE) 5. Djamel Ben Yelles - Unfinished story 6. The Cranberries - Dreaming My dreams (LIVE) 7. Bob Marley - Redemption Song 8. Automatic Baby - One <--- (This is 2 members of REM and 2 of U2!!!!!!) - Michael Stipe is singing 9. Angelique Kidjo - Summertime 10. Melissa Etheridge - I Will Never Be The Same (LIVE - 4:07) 11. Wally Badarou - Rain 12. Daniel Lanois - Amazing Grace (featuring Aaron Neville) There are some no namers, but there's enough on here to make it worth it. It's even for charity... here's a quote from the back of the case. "Profits from this album will go to: - - The Mulitple Myeloma Fund - - Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center - - T.J. Martell Foundation for Leukemia Cancer and Aids research - - And other research centers." So like I said, it will be released tomorrow, well, today I guess by the time this gets to most people. If your store doesn't have it, you should be able to order it w/ the label and catalog # above. I haven't gotten a chance to really listen to it yet so I can't really give a review on the rest of the album. Well, if there are any other questions about it, just let me know.

Melissa Etheridge's Janis Joplin Pic Takes the Lead It looks like the race to bring Janis Joplin to the big screen is over--and Melissa Etheridge has emerged as the winner. The $30 million Paramount Pictures flick Piece of My Heart is set for a January start date. The picture, which will star Etheridge as the sixties rocker, will be directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Losing Isaiah). A soundtrack is likely to be from Island Records, Etheridge's label. The project has undergone substantial changes: the first script, which was written by Etheridge's partner, Julie Cypher, has been rewritten, and the original director, Marc Rocco (Murder in the First), has dropped out. Still, for a while it looked as though neither of the proposed films would ever see daylight. The other Joplin flick, based on the book Love, Janis, was set to star Lili Taylor as Joplin, who would have lip-synched to Joplin's vocals. Nancy Savoca, who had previously directed Taylor in Dogfight and Household Saints, was attached to direct, but the film has since been put in turnaround by TriStar. Interesting fact: Taylor is thirty, Etheridge is thirty-six. Joplin died in 1970 at the tender age of twenty-seven. & now for the gossip ;-) At a recent opening for fellow-power lesbian Maxine Lapiduss' Situation Tragedy, I overheard the cute couple (our gals) inviting actress Geena Davis over to their place. Was it to watch A League of Our Own or Attack of the 50' Amazons? Nope. The two actually invited Davis over for friendly game of basketball!

I don't think it has to be an either/or issue. Plenty of musicians can play two (or more songs) on the same guitar without tuning it once. One may argue that these musicians are incompetent, uncaring, lousy musicians, blah, blah, blah...but I have a hunch that it is possible to play at least a song or two without having to switch guitars without it being an indictment of unprofessionalism. That would be a "fun" stat.--how many guitar changes different bands/musicians make. ****************************************************************** * 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, 30 Sep 1997 15:17:54 PDT From: "Bonnie Phillips" Subject: *etheridge* Criticism sasha wrote: >> when someone criticizes her, i can't help but >> take it personally.

Quite a few of us bought the compilation featuring MLE doing >"And the Green Grass Grows (All Around)". :-) Funny you should mention this one...I just got it from a friend last week....For Our Children: Pediatric AIDS Foundation Benefit....and it's GREAT! All the elements of a great live Melissa performance....an attentive responsive crowd that sings along....a relaxed Melissa having fun doing what she does best...and that *Ovation*!! Oh, and -- for all the Barney and Sesame Streets fans in MElisterland -- she sings about dinosaurs and birds too... :) Well, I suppose it's clear that *rhondda* has been quiTe busy of late...seeing, watching, ogling, talking to, and subsequently masterfully reporting about Our Lady of Etheridge from a first-hand view (you go, girlfriends!!!! )....glad to see Bonnie jumping in to take over this week's Elaine duty without so much as a nudge...and so adeptly, I might add ;) Patti, who's looking forward to seeing Sarah live in Dallas in just 8 days!! ....& waving to the tall blonde Canuck who's traipsing "all around....all around" Europe now...and the 8-foot Amazon Austinite who's heading the other direction to join the 8-foot Amazon Kiwi in New Zealand on Friday!!

I have been reduced to taping the movie premiers on E!, just in case Melissa shows up. Sad,Sad Sorry I didn't post about the Amazing Grace CD. I have had the promo for several weeks, but the Disc just has a sticker on the box and did not come with a booklet. There is no info with it to say what the compliation was for or if it was going to be a commercial release. 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, 30 Sep 1997 20:36:38 -0700 From: "J.

I have been reduced to >taping the movie premiers on E!, just in case Melissa shows up. Sad,Sad If you're setting your VCR for Melissa sightings on E!, keep your eyes open for a show with a title in the vein of "world's most beautiful women" -- and no, it's not one of their wonderful fashion file episodes! One of the "beautiful women" profiled is Joan Osborne. While talking about her influences, they show a VERY quick clip of Etheridge -- I believe it was press-conference footage. And of course, they couldn't publish an issue of Curve w/o some Melissa content. Flip to the back page and you'll find a gallery of small photos, featuring female performers from NY gigs. There is one of ME from 1994. This recent issue focuses on lesbian musicians -- while they didn't include Melissa, the editor's note mentions that Melissa is focusing on her personal life right now (and I suppose as such, wasn't available for an interview this time around??).
