"We are very excited and honored that Vice President Gore will attend our National Dinner. The Vice President has a long record of advocating equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans. The Vice President's presence reaffirms his commitment to battling discrimination and demonstrates his willingness stand up for what is right," said HRC executive director Elizabeth Birch. The Second Annual National Dinner will take place on September 19, at the Washington, DC Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. In addition to Vice President Gore, the black-tie gala will feature world-renowned poet Dr. Maya Angelou. HRC will also present its first National Family Civil Rights Award to rocker Melissa Etheridge and her partner, producer Julie Cypher. Last year, President Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker. OutVote '98, HRC's second national political convention, will take place the same weekend as the National Dinner, Sept. 17-20. OutVote '98 will help mobilize the vote for fairness and equality and teach members of our community and our allies the campaign skills necessary to have an impact in the November elections. The event will also give activists the opportunity to network and form working alliances with the community's brightest leaders from around the nation. OutVote '98 is expected to draw 1,000 lesbian and gay activists to Washington. Like the National Dinner, the political convention will also take place at the Washington, DC Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. OutVote 98' will offer a top-notch line-up of speakers including: Rev. Jesse Jackson, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, Assistant to the President Virginia Apuzzo, White House AIDS Policy Director Sandra Thurman, Representatives Barney Frank (D-Mass.), Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), and Connie Morella (R-Md.), Seattle City Council member Tina Podlodowski, Betty DeGeneres, and John and Michael Galluccio and other prominent national leaders. The weekend will begin early for dedicated activists, who are invited to Washington on Thursday, Sept. 17, to lobby their senators and members of Congress. "We encourage everyone who can spare the time to come to Washington that day and visit their elected representatives," says Winnie Stachelberg, HRC's political director. "Get in touch with us and we'll help you coordinate these visits and provide whatever background materials you might need to talk to your congress people about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, hate crimes, lesbian health, HIV and AIDS or other subjects." Travel-On is HRC's official travel agency for the weekend. We urge you to make your airline reservations through them.

It is not really the actual concert but photos from the rehearsal. The clothes she has on look like they came from the Salvation Army sale rack. I usually don't care what she wears, but this outfit is an all time low. There is a lot of photos of her and Julie as well as one from 1988.

These images {or ANY image from the web for that matter} can be copied to a favorite paint program of one's choice; by right- clicking on the photo itself, selecting copy picture, then selecting 'paste' from within a paint program.

A word of experience ... it seems as these ftp sites always have a poorer download reliability during the daytime hours, it's best to access them at late in the evening! Hope this helps!

I imagine it is also posted at the MEIN website, which anybody can access. Date: August 5, 1998 web: http://melissaetheridge.com/ email: melissa@fanasylum.com Last Night's Melissa Chat First and foremost, we'd like to take this moment to thank Melissa for making her precious time available last night for what we hope will become the first in a monthly series of chat appearances. We'd also like to thank each of those members who participated in yesterday's chat--you made it a very informative and exciting experience for all. We have now confirmed that Melissa will make her next MEIN chat appearance on September 9th, from 6 - 7 pm Pacific Time. A very very special thanks goes out to MEIN member Medea from The Netherlands--in fact, if it wasn't for Medea's efforts, we wouldn't have very much else to say or include in this bulletin. You see, Enric--the java genius who created our chat software and did the bulk of the work last night in administering the chat--didn't have enough time before the chat to set up his transcript feature (due to a power failure in parts of the Bay Area, including a part of town where the chat server is!), and then after the chat his computer crashed which prevented him from "grabbing" the chat text. Medea--one of the lucky MEIN members chosen to participate in the chat with Melissa--was still hanging around in the room we'd created for the chat, and she volunteered to do the transcription. Now, mind you that Medea was in Holland and it was already 3 in the morning when the chat started! Medea then had to transcribe the chat by hand, and from that she then typed everything into Word. We would have been grateful to get the transcription a couple of weeks from now, but amazingly it was in Enric's inbox this morning. We hope you called in sick to work, Medea!!! So, really it is with a very special thanks to Melissa and Medea that we now present to you the transcript of last night's chat: CHAT LOG 8/4/98 6-7 PM PACIFIC TIME *v* Melissa Joined room True Chat on TUES AUG 4. snuffy << does everyone have there thoughts together?

The female DJ opined that there must be a lot of female Melissa Etheridge fans out there who do it, too. Is this true, or does the "male-only air-guitar tradition" carry over to Melissa's music? James P.S. For those of you who don't know, playing air guitar means you hold your hands as if you were holding a guitar, and pretend to play this imaginary guitar along to the music you are listening to. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Aug 1998 19:46:46 -0500 From: Lisa Nordeen Subject: *etheridge* new address...

["P.Teunissen" Subject: *etheridge* SMEC--Travel advise for 99!! Hello fellow MElisters! I want to use this list for some Melissa travel advise. I am intend to see some shows of Melissa during her next tour in the U.S.A. I want to get in contact with people who did a Travelpackage once and/or people who organized trips on their own. I mean here concerts in driving distance from eachother, like a part of the West Coast orso. So that I will/can rent a car and sleep in motels. I 'm looking for people with this experience, the fun(the travelpackage in particular), the cheapiest way for, probably, 2 to 3 people. I have been in the States before but never organized travel on my own. Is it good to get the tickets through the MEIN or is it better(and possible for me as an European) to get tickets by another organization? Hopefully that there are some people on this list with experience on one of the things I mentioned above and are willing to tell me what the best way is to look for before I come the whole way to the U.S.A. You're the first onces to turn to or not??You might e-mail me privately. I don't want to bother the MElist with this anymore. I would be very thankful if some of you can help me out with it. Then I have already a start, of maybe a GOOD Melissa year in 1999!! Thanks for reading this and I am looking forward to your answers, From a Sunny Holland, Pat the Dutch.

The list guidelines (which I'm certain everyone has read) specifically address the selling/auctioning of material on this list. Here's the excerpt: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4) SELLING MLE-RELATED ITEMS ON THE LIST FOR PERSONAL PROFIT IS NOT ALLOWED! The MLE list is not maintained for use as a marketing tool nor a vehicle for personal monetary gain. This includes the selling of memorabilia which has no fair-market value (ie, picks, autographs, other items received from MLE, herself, in concert or chance meetings) and the selling of commerically purchased items at a price which garners a profit for the seller. Commercial items, such as 'import' CD's, picks and other memorabilia sold through the likes of MEIN or other outlets, posters, etc., maybe be offered for sale at fair market value *only*. It is preferred that the list-owners be contacted in advance if such items are to be offered. **This guideline has been put into effect not only for ethical purposes (this list is about sharing MLE-related information--not making money off of her name/likeness), but also for legal purposes. There exists a possibility that the owners of the list could be held liable in the event that it was discovered that the list was being used as a profit-making venture. Please hold this guideline in the highest regard. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> While the selling of other items (ie, IG's CDs and guitars) is not specifically mentioned above, it is assumed that common sense will win out and those offering such material for sale will clear it with the list owners prior to posting. A BLANKET LIST WARNING: The next person to post items for sale w/o prior approval from the list-owners gets a short vacation from the list. Folks, I know that it's a bit slow wrt MLE news right now, but that doesn't mean that it's ok to ignore the rules (especially this one). 2) As list-owner Glenna has recently advised, *please* cut posts before sending responses to the list. It's only a matter of common courtesy to refrain from sending two posts quoted in their entirety and add the equivalent of "me, too" at the end... Thanks for everyone's cooperation! (If you need a refresher on the guidelines, you can access them from the official list page--the URL is included at the end of each list post.) jen ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 11:17:51 -0700 From: Alma Goldchain Subject: *etheridge* Some NMEC and Some Relevant MEC - you decide... I rarely post, but it seems like I've posted more in the last couple of months than I have in the 4 years I've been on this list (wow, I can't believe it's been that long!) I'll start with my latest comment and add a few other tidbits that I've been wanting to write for the last couple of weeks, but haven't had the time. "rnbwflg@idt.net Subject: *etheridge* Interesting item on eBay web site item#24226875: MELISSA ETHERIDGE 16 UNRECORDED/UNRELEASED" With regards to this post, it's quite a coincidence, because I was just discussing the CD with our beloved Don Juan. I have this CD and I love it! However, I just learned that "Total Control" is not a Tina Turner song, it's a Martha Davis of the Motel's song. How do I know this? Well, I just saw, met, and hugged Martha Davis this past Friday night (I'm on a total roll with musicians lately - Kim Luce is my witness) and she sang "Total Control." John, who is a walking music encyclopedia, confirmed to me that this was originally a Motels song. Now I haven't gone anywhere to confirm this. I'm talking John's word for this. I was so shocked to hear her sing this song cause I've heard it so many times on this CD and yes, Melissa refers to this song as a Tina Turner song. Rhondda, you might be able to confirm. I couldn't find the site for lyrics... Don't have that much time today. Next little tidbit, was that I finally got my Billie Myers cd "Growing Pains" and noticed that Kenny Aranoff is the percussionist on almost all the songs. No wonder this cd rocks! (IMHO). Last, but never least, several weeks ago, I was flipping through the channels and stopped on the Spanish channel. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, there on my screen were a group of women in very short skirts and nothing but little guitars on their breasts. This totally floored me and captivated me at the same time. I was cracking up! It literally looked like they had nothing else underneath these little guitars. Guess I should start watching the Spanish channel more. This takes "playing the guitar" or "girls with guitars" to a whole new level! Guess it's never too late to want to learn to play the guitar!!! Okay, now I've shared all the information that I wanted to share. Have a great week!

For those who might not have heard, Martha Davis re-formed the Motels in May/June and has started a small tour, with her first date last Friday here in the Bay Area (Palo Alto) at a very small club (about 400 people attended)... next show is in LA, Aug 29. >and she sang "Total Control."

I'm talking >John's word for this. The BMI website lists nine different songs entitled 'Total Control', but the first (and best known) is documented as being written jointly by Martha Davis and Jeff Jourad... none of the other songs with this title are credited to Tina Turner. >I was so shocked to hear her sing this song cause >I've heard it so many times on this CD and yes, >Melissa refers to this song as a Tina Turner song. Yes, I also have the "16 UNRECORDED/UNRELEASED" boot-CD, and Melissa *does* say it's a Tina Turner song... then she sings the Martha Davis version... my guess is that Melissa simply learned the song from hearing Tina perform it, and she assumed Tina wrote it.

REMEMBERED, an Asylum Records CD paying homage to The First Lady of Country Music who died of a blood clot to the lung in April of 1998, will be released on September 8th. The 12 cut CD is the first project produced and released under the new Asylum Records regime of Evelyn Shriver and Susan Nadler, who were close friends of Tammy's and features some of the most important artists in popular music history reinterpreting the classic songs of Tammy Wynette. Paying tribute are: Stand By Your Man Elton John 'Til I Get It Right Trisha Yearwood D.I.V.O.R.C.E. Rosanne Cash Apt. #9 Melissa Etheridge Woman To Woman Wynonna Take Me To Your World George Jones Your Good Girls Gonna Go Bad K.T. Oslin You & Me Lorrie Morgan I Don't Wanna Play House Sara Evans Golden Ring Emmylou Harris with Linda Ronstadt and Kate & Anna McGarrigle 'Til I Can Make It On My Own Faith Hill In My Room Tammy Wynette and Brian Wilson In announcing the release of TAMMY WYNETTE ... REMEMBERED, Asylum Records President, Evelyn Shriver, said, "I am extremely proud of this record. This project was done for all the right reasons and by all the right people. Every artist and person involved in this disc loved Tammy and she them. Somehow, I know she is active in every aspect of this record: the ease by which artists agreed; the expediency of the business arrangements; the amazing performances and the tireless production efforts to make impossibly tight deadlines. Virtually everyone involved made it easy and was extraordinarily generous with their talents. I don't recall a 'tribute' project that was done this personally and with this much love." Asylum Records believe that the difference between this album and other tribute projects is the unique and personal interpretations of Tammy's songs. This is a testament to the timeless and universal qualities of great music. In addition, Tammy Wynette's husband, George Richey assumed the role of executive producer of TAMMY WYNETTE ... REMEMBERED and his involvement in every aspect of this record was paramount. Asylum Records invite you to listen to what we consider to be a very personal and fitting tribute to the greatest voice, role model, and 'lady' country music has ever known.

And congratulations Alma on meeting the fabulous Martha I have been a fan of the Motels for the past....um, ...since I was a teenager ....and have to confess that this classic song goes on my list of all time favourites...great choppy rhythm guitar and saxophone riff and Martha's breathless, slightly slurred lyrics.....sooo romantic when you're 16 :-) I resurrected this classic as a cover song in a band I played in around Melbourne in the '80s and it was *very* popular with the pub crowd that could remember it !!! Somewhere I think I've got the sheet music if any one is interested in the chords.... I've got vague memories of a Tina Turner version live in concert on the television ...some time mid-80s maybe......I am surprised that Melissa made that mistake and that she wasn't more familiar with the Motels' original version. She and I are of the same vintage, although we were growing up in different hemispheres.

I never suggested there would be *no dancing*...

I also said: >>and no rushing the stage to get close to Ani ====================== More to the point, since this is a benefit, and the *promoter* is trying to get extra money by selling special high-priced seats in the first few rows, it is the *promoter* who will be working very hard to enforce rules about stage-rushing. The high-priced seats will be blocked off and require special access. Molly continued: >be like sitting still during BMSW or something. Exactly! I've been to 10 Ani-shows and I've rarely seen anyone remain seated...

Nothing really new is mentioned: second baby in November, spend time with kids, new album early in 1999, Joplin movie on hold, etc. John Vlautin, a publicist at Island (is there still an Island these days?), says, "'I would bet there would be a tour in the summer of 1999'" (32).

[Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* NY Daily News: MLE sings "Ave Maria" at Kathy Najimy's wedding... http://www.mostnewyork.com/1998-08-13/News_and_Views/Daily_Dish/a-2283.asp?today=1 Pitt and Aniston Seem More Than 'Friends' When it comes to pretending they're "just friends," Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have got to be the world's worst actors. For months, their publicists have maintained there's nothing romantic between the "Seven Years in Tibet" hunk and the "Friends" actress. But then Pitt and Aniston go and make out in a roomful of people. It happened again last weekend, at the nuptials of "Veronica's Closet" actress Kathy Najimy and actor Dan Finnerty. "They were kissing in front of everybody," said one spy. "It was the talk of the wedding." Najimy and Finnerty did their best to protect the lovebirds. Guests were asked not to take pictures. They were also stopped at two security checkpoints and requested to show photo I.D. The wedding was held at L.A.'s Jonathan Club, the conservative downtown power bastion. Safe to say, the Jonathan never saw a wedding like this before. Najimy's bridesmaids included drag diva Ru Paul. Performing the sacred "Ave Maria" was openly gay rocker Melissa Etheridge. Najimy also arranged for black cloth to cover portraits of U.S. Presidents she didn't especially care for. The couple - who have a one-year-old daughter, Samia - also wrote their own vows. Said Finnerty: "I never thought I'd be an unwed father." - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

First, I want to thank John "Don Juan" Miller for crawling out of his work cave to reconfirm that "Total Control" was indeed a Martha Davis song. John, as always, "I'm not worthy." Lisa Lou did too, but my comments to her message are below. Then Mel wrote: "Sheesh, next thing you know, Alma will be onstage singing backup :o) Alma, I'll have to take you to a show next time and see if whatever knack you have rubs off on me!" I'm still figuring out how this is all happening to me? I think it has to do with a positive attitude, total excitement for the music and the musician, some clever manuevers and trying to be at the right place at the right time. If I can rub this off on you, I'll definitely consider it. You'll have to tell me where to rub though Mel??? As for singing, that's never going to happen. But if someone wants me to play the tamborine or maracas, well that's very different! Lisa Lou wrote: "And congratulations Alma on meeting the fabulous Martha I have been a fan of the Motels for the past....um, ...since I was a teenager ....and have to confess that this classic song goes on my list of all time favourites...great choppy rhythm guitar and saxophone riff and Martha's breathless, slightly slurred lyrics.....sooo romantic when you're 16 :-)" Thanks Lisa it was truely a thrill. It's really tough to say which was more of a thrill for me - Billie Myers or Martha Davis??? Her voice was in great form! She sang all the songs we know and love. However, she seemed somewhat nervous or a little clumsy at first. Guess I would be that way after 10 years. She was genuinely floored by the response that she got from the audience. There was one song that she sang (a B side song that never got played - John, help me here with the name of it since you've got this on tape) that got her all choked up. On "Only the Lonely," she pointed right at me during the "you and me" part of the song. Of course I was pointing at her right back. That was a lot of fun. I'm not making any of this up cause Kim Luce and John are my witnesses. The songs are really still just as sexy as they were when you were 16 Lisa! Then last, but never least, our fav author, Joyce wrote: Dunno, Mel, but you can bet whatever knicker Alma might have will rub against you. ;-) Joyce, who is now ducking and running for cover in a MAJOR way Love ya, Alma! :-) How can I respond to this without not cracking up first! Joyce, I do have Victoria Secret underwear, which is something I have in common with Billie Myers (she flashed me her underwear) - can I just say "WOW!" Of course, hers were much sexier than mine. I think now my "knickers" are used for signatures and not rubbing." I've got something right here for rubbing Joyce! If I did have a knicker, then you bet I would rub it up against Mel! If, and only if, she'd want me too. Everybody gets hugs though! She did say she wanted me to rub "something" off on her. Once we figure that out, then her request would be my command! As for you Miss Joyce, don't run too far, I'm looking forward to the Luau. I already know that if Elizabeth White plays for us, I'll be first in line for her to sign my underwear!! Or, whatever piece of clothing I might deem worthy of her signature. I already got one of her guitar picks, so I'm already ahead of the game! Rhondda, I will do my best not to disappoint you on trying to get close to Pat Benetar. I'm very excited about Sat.'s show. I'll see you soon. Gotta run, I'm very swamped at work but I HAD to reply.

No offense to any "True Fans" out there, but I can only imagine this as being intolerably horrifying or completely hilarious. From the rest of the wedding report, I will guess that it was done in fun. Can't you just imagine MLE rolling her eyes and really hamming it up? Everyone would be laughing so hard, there certainly couldn't have been a dry eye at this wedding! ================================== Silly MLE-related anecdote: My gf was listening to the radio last week, and NTG was playing. When the song had finished, the DJ said that he couldn't wait for Melissa to come out with a new CD because he was suffering from "MEDD"--Melissa Etheridge Deficiency Disorder." I believe this whole list is suffering! :) ================================== The "Other" Melissa: OK, all of you lucky people out there who are/were able to go to a Melissa Ferrick concert--give up some info.

I recently went to LA to see Melissa Ferrick's most recent West Coast shows (July 30/31) before she traveled east to perform at Boston's AUG 12 Lilith (plus several other east coast shows)... she has many new songs, and has completed a new CD *with a band* (drummer and guitarist)... new CD will be out 29 September. At both July shows she brought with her a partial mix of her new CD which had *her* parts missing, then she played two songs live with the CD so we could get an idea of how the new CD sounds... I'm certainly ready to buy it! At the recent Little Frida's show she told us she'd be in Chicago sometime soon, but her website currently does not list a Chicago date... nearest other date to St Louis is a women's music festival in Ohio, a *long* drive... keep watching her website's 'tour' page for further info: John Miller San Jose CA ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1998 19:47:04 -0700 (PDT) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* (NMLEC) brad, aka suck-face artist crystal greer wrote: > excuse me suck face brad pitt???

OK, first things first, the NY daily news is a tabloid "newspaper". i would think that anything they might say or how they might state it would be taken with a grain of salt by most discerning folk. second, sue d was *joking* in her use of "suck-face artist". that term referred to his apparent skill at making out in public (i.e. kathy najimy's wedding). it was not meant as a derogatory comment towards his character, his acting, or whatever quality of brad's you think sue was declaiming. also, while you're certainly welcome to dislike jennifer aniston, i'm at a loss as to *why* you felt it necessary to call her an "airhead" or a "sucky actor". is it because she's currently brad's squeeze (at least, according to this and other gossip mongers)? if these reports of their relationship are true, then i think it is only fair to respect their mutual decision. they are adults, after all; no one is forcing them to get together. i happen to think that jennifer is a talented young actress with a long career ahead of her. also, from what i've seen of her character in print and TV interviews, not to mention her involvement with the recent GLAAD awards and her appearance on the "Ellen" finale, i like her as a person as well. as for your comment "[w]hat a dumb thing to say about one of MLE's friends", just because someone might be connected to MLE in some manner doesn't mean we can't comment on them. you might not like what someone has to say about your precious brad, but rather than insult someone, wouldn't it be more productive to tell us exactly why you disagree with that statement? finally, please don't quote an *entire* digest in your reply. it's really unnecessary. glenna (one of the list owners) and jen (our moderatrix) both sent posts about this recently. i'm off to the patti smith show... *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

So it's not OK for someone to insult (according to your perception) an actor *you* like (or maybe you're just defending him because he's linked to MLE), but it *is* OK for you to insult someone you *don't* like.

THE REAL ELLEN STORY, a one-hour documentary detailing the story behind the legendary "uppy Episode" on the hit television sitcom Ellen, premieres on Bravo Profiles on Wednesday, September 30, at 8:00PM ET/5:00PM PT. When Ellen DeGeneres decided to come out on national television, her writers, producers, actors and family quickly embraced her decision, yet she would soon learn that it would take more than moral support to get her through what would become an epic struggle to air the episode. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato reflect on their inspiration as the directors of the film, "When we first set out to make this film, we thought there was nothing left to be said about Ellen. Little did we know that the real story of what happened had not been told." Through in-depth and refreshingly candid interviews with DeGeneres, Betty DeGeneres, Anne Heche, Laura Dern, Diane Sawyer, Melissa Etheridge, the entire production team and former Disney executives, Bravo Profiles' THE REAL ELLEN STORY provides a compelling time-line of events leading up to the historic moment (an enthusiastic audience of 42 million tuned-in to watch). Their stories describe the rumors, accusations, boycotts, bomb threats, politics, publicity and the heartbreak of cancellation. In response to the constant opposition Ellen had to face in order to fulfill her artistic and personal vision, Anne Heche proclaims, "Even though they may not have wanted it to happen, she did get to change the world." Bravo Profiles tells viewers what it's really like to be creative. Bravo Profiles, which investigates the work and creative process of contemporary artists and their enterprises, airs every weeknight at 8:00PM/ET and 9:00PM/PT exclusively on Bravo. Bravo, The Film and Arts Network, offers critically acclaimed American and international films as well as performing arts, including dance, theater, classical music and jazz. Bravo is available to over 35 million homes nationwide. Contact: Rainbow Media, Woodbury Sommer Hixson, 516/396-4544 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

What were you thinking? When was it? I'd like to share my first experience. It was May 1993 and I had heard that there was going to be a charity softball game at my old high school's ballpark, with a bunch of Rock musicians there to play. I tried to get tickets but it was sold out and so I thought I'd just go down there and maybe find someone selling a ticket. I was there to see Mark Slaughter who I was madly in love with at the time. No tickets available so I thought I'd just watch from the parking lot. To make a long story short....I was finally able to get into the ballpark and watch the game. They announce that a Melissa Etheridge will be singing the National Anthem. I was thinking...who's Melissa Etheridge?? Out she comes to the plate to sing. I thought hummm...she's cute, love the hair. : ) Well, she starts singing and I just about fell off of the bleacher I was sittin on. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. THAT VOICE!!! I was engaged on every word. After the game...I ran over to the music store and bought my first ME CD and the rest is history. I'm a huge fan... and so thankful I went to the ballpark that day!

MLE came onto the stage and I thought OMG - she's beautiful. When she started singing "Somebody Bring Me Some Water" I thought she had total control of me!!! Then a few months later I went to her concert....she was wonderful and I got the chance to meet and greet her in person afterwards. She is a wonderful woman, very down to earth and we talked had a beer or two and I even kissed her good - bye!!! When I first heard her I was just breaking up with my First woman lover after 5 years and that song - SBMSW- was exactly how I was feeling. Every song after that has some meaning to me!!! Personally, I have all her CD's and can't wait until Beloved hits!!!!

(If you're a blues guitar fan and are suffering from MEDD, Bonnie could help you get through the next few months until MLE's new cd comes out in Jan. 1999.) Bonnie was wonderful in concert - she's obviously enjoying herself, her band is great, and she's playing the slide guitar to perfection! I highly recommend her new cd, Fundamental. She played all the songs from it in her concert, plus some old favorites, like Love Letter, Thing Called Love, and I Can't Make You Love Me. She and Jackson sang together on a few of his songs, too. It was a great show - lots of acoustic, rock, and blues guitar music! She has some US cities left in her tour, then she heads for Canada in September. You can check out her tour cities and schedule at http://www.hollywoodandvine.com/bonnieraitt On a different note, I look forward to Beloved more now that MLE shared some of the lyrics in her most recent chat. I've been hoping for more strong, passionate music about commitment from her - it's one of the reasons I love her song "I Take You With Me" from Boys On The Side. I have also "made a promise that I intend to keep" and it's a challenge, a wonder, a mystery, and its own reward. 4.5 months to the new cd - bring it on!

Anyways, I just happened to hear Come To My Window and I was like - "Wow this is really good!" and thinking "Who is this new artist!?" and ran out and bought the Yes I Am cd immediately, not paying attention to whether or not there were other cds with her name on it *which of course there were* and then some friends of mine and I were talking. I started going on about "this new artist Melissa Etheridge" and they started laughing and told me how long she'd really been out. They then got me a copy of her self-title and Brve & Crazy...

Personally, i don't think there's anything wrong with the title. But it does lead me to think that it will be an album of ballads. And i'm not exactly thrilled about that. I like some of her slow songs, but i don't want an entire album of them. I much prefer the rockin' music - from back in the days of the red album. But that's a whole 'nother argument altogether. How can you be sure that we'd all love melissa to show us her loving side? I don't have much interest in it. I'd rather she keep me entertained with her music. Something which is unlikely to occur with an album of ballads. So what kind of music does the name Beloved bring to mind for y'all? Here's hoping that Beloved takes her back to the acoustic days of her first three albums/CDs and away from the electric of YLS. liz ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 13:08:10 EDT From: "Jane Vaughn" Subject: *etheridge* First time & Beloved Hey Melisters, My first time to hear Melissa was in the movie"Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael". Waited all through the credits just to see who was singing. Ran out and bought Never Enough on cassette just in case I did not like her I would not be out the money for the CD!!!!!! Can we say "Right" I was hooked and soon owned everything I could find by her. I am hoping Beloved will be more acoustic but I am sure there will be some rockin' good songs on there as well. I don't think we will hear songs like "Baby I'm Yours" though that is a great song!!!!!!! Perhaps a deeper passion than we have heard before! Imagine that my fellow listers ! Talk about goosebumps ! Melissa is always gonna be Melissa! It is in her blood to rock ! One cannot see her in concert and come away believing any differently. She loves to play with those eyes that pierce and draw you into the song. She weaves her magic throughout the performance and encapsulates you into her magic. Once there you become a believer. You believe that she loves what she is doing and that truly she can turn sparks into ice. A single spotlight... a stool .... and a 12 string guitar would be a wonderful setting for her but my oh my there is so much more and I for one believe "Beloved" will show us the different sides of the looking glass. And in its prism we are drawn to dance as the colors reach outward pulling us towards the glow to bask in the warmth as the singer once again sings her song.

My friend Joyce Luck likes the title. Well my personal opionion. I think Joyce Luck will like what our Melissa Etheridge does. Joyce feels like it shows a different side of Melissa and she loves Tony Morrison. LOL Well I feel like the title is a bit Mushy. I hope our Melissa Etheridge will have second thoughts. When I first heard Melissa Etheridge was when I saw the video "I'm The Only One". Now that got my attention. I wanted to know more about her and hear more of her music. My wife Pauline went out and brought me the CD "Yes I Am". Awesome CD IMHO! I could not get enough of her music. When "Your Little Secret" came out. Some of us love it and some of us thought it could have been better. I for one love it. I thought it was SEXY and a Dramatic Video. Well I cannot wait to hear this album in six months. Maybe, just maybe the Title will change before she records it. I think the title can be a bit stronger and catchy. Now I have put my 2 cents in. Cannot wait to hear others opinions on this list. :o) Peace Chris2Wood ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 10:35:19 -0700 (PDT) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* TV Guide: more on "The Real Ellen Story", HRC dinner http://www.tvgen.com/dish/0821f.htm - - snip - ELLEN COMES BACK: Just how tough was it to feature a lesbian leading lady on a network series?

The first time I heard Melissa was back sometime in 1988. I heard Similar Features on the radio. I have always liked her particular style of voice. As evidenced by the fact I have always been a Rod Stewart fan. Also one of closest friends is a singer and has that deep, throaty kind of voice like Melissa's. I was taken with the song Similar Features, both for Melissa's voice and for the lyrics. So I went directly out and bought her first CD. I have a tendency to not listen to *new* music so it took a while before I listened to the rest of that CD, but one day while cleaning house I listened to it and I LOVED all of it. I anxiously awaited new material and snapped it up when it came out. My first impression of her picture on the cover of her self-titled CD was *dyke*. But then I thought perhaps that was my imagination. I was still in denial about myself. Then when Never Enough came out with that *OH So Sexy* pic on the cover I fell in love with her too. When I finally got to see her in concert (not until 12/96 =() I was absolutely taken!!!! She is an sexy, energetic, and giving performer. She is worth any amount of $$ to see in concert. Her live performances leave you with the impression that this a woman with *REAL* talent, not studio enhanced talent. You also get the impression she is undoubtedbly a consumate professional. I have learned more about her personal life, since being online. What I have learned has led me to believe that this is a person I would be honored to call a friend, if that miracle ever happened. Reading her interactions in chat rooms, articles, and of course Joyce's book, have led me to believe that Melissa is a sincere, genuine human being (there is no higher compliment in my book), who is dedicated to the causes in her life and to her family. I also firmly believe that Melissa appreciates her fans very much. I don't get the impression she does what she does for her fans because she *has* to for publicity. I believe she does what she does because she wants to give back to her fans in the most personal ways that she can, without risking her valuable privacy. As far as Beloved goes...my feelings are that I have not disliked any of Melissa's albums so far. There are songs I like better than others, but on the whole *I* like Melissa's music. Unless, God Forbid, she records a disco, rap, or hip-hop album I am sure I will like it. I am not a country music fan, but I am considering buying the Tammy Wynette Remembered CD because of Melissa's participation. So in my humble opininon I think we should wait to hear Beloved before judging it. Rock and Roll may just be one of the *Beloved* things in Melissa's life. Just a thought... Hugs, Sue "Time can even change the hopeless ways of fools..." Melissa Etheridge "Time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions."

This week, to mark the release of a new collection of her songs, an exhibition of photographs of the star went on show in London, including pictures by the late Linda McCartney. Joplin - who led an archetypal sex-and-drugs-and-rock'n'roll lifestyle until her death from a heroin overdose in 1970 - is to receive wider airplay with the release of her "Ultimate Collection" CD. A car television commercial has been featuring her Mercedes Benz song, and two feature films about her life are planned. Lesbian singer Melissa Etheridge has been lined up for the lead role in a movie which explores Joplin's bisexuality. In town to promote the Joplin revival is her former road manager John Cooke, who was with her throughout her brief four-year career in the late Sixties and found her body the day she died. "She was unquestionably the first female rock superstar," said Cooke, who is working on a book about the Sixties music scene. "The defining moment for Janis came in 1967 when she took the Monterey pop festival by storm. Before that she was only known in the San Francisco bay area, but afterwards she became a legend. "By the summer of 1970, shortly before her death, she was making $25,000 a show, which was more than any other female artist." Joplin's fame has remained undiminished in America, but she is more of a cult figure in Britain. Here she is better known for her hard drinking (she single-handedly popularised Southern Comfort before moving on to B&B - brandy and Benedictine - and tequila), her on-off heroin habit and her extravagant bisexual exploits than hits such as Piece Of My Heart, Cry Baby and Me And Bobby McGee. The latter was written by one of Joplin's many lovers, Kris Kristofferson. It remains something of a mystery why she has not previously enjoyed the same kind of revival as other fallen stars of her era such as Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison of The Doors. Mat Snow, editor of Mojo magazine and a big Joplin fan, believes it is largely because her best work was live on stage rather than on record. "I think it was also because her role in rock history is more as a catalyst than as a star in her own right," he said. "She certainly opened a lot of white people's ears to blues and soul, but many of those listeners then moved on to discover black singers who were arguably better than her. Her recorded repertoire was oddly small - four albums, including one which was released posthumously - compared to other legends of the time." The photographic exhibition runs until 22 August at the Special Photographers' Gallery in Notting Hill.

Beyond that, I like the title because I think it hints of *maybe* a slight shift in her song writing? Of course, this is pure speculation/wishful thinking. The lyrics that were posted in MEIN chat certainly weren't (in my *opinion*) encouraging. Someone posted that they thought, based on the title, that the new album would be all ballads. I don't read that into it, but I do think the shift might be away from the heartbroken angst of the previous records. What would the shift be towards? Sounds like family, huh? It can work. Probably the only artist who I like more than Melissa is Springsteen, and Lucky Town, his testimony to domestic bliss, is one of my favorites. My partner Kathy and I are heading to San Francisco way too early on Saturday morning. I'm looking to finally getting to meet Rhondda and John, and I get to see Andrea Tan.

I would expect the tenderness that is evident in, say, Watching You. But Melissa does have a passion not only for her music and her family, but for her fans, as well. We are no doubt a part of that "beloved." Because of that, I'd also expect alot of passion and friskiness -- much like Ain't it Heavy and the songs from Brave and Crazy. And, knowing melissa, the title track is the name of the lullabye that she wrote for Bailey Jean. and the cd is probably dedicated to her and the rest of the family. That said, I seriously doubt that it will be a cd of "all ballads." melissa usually records with her live performance in mind, and a live performance of ballads would be, well, Oliva Newton-John I agree slightly with the comment that was made about the desire for more acoustics vs. the elctric she did with YLS. After about the 1000th playing, the screaming was a little much.

Nothing worse than a music mailing list in drought (except maybe TV show lists during the summer hiatus). All of the lists I'm on are for artists betwixt releases, and it is hell.

I would post my "where I first heard MLE" story again, but I'm sure it wouldn't be the same as the last time and I'd hate to embarass myself if someone dug through the archives and came up with contradictory evidence. *smirk* Trace - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trace <> trace@bluesilver.org <> totallytrue@hotmail.com ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 18:21:44 EDT From: CalifiaFn2@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* (NMLEC) wet blanket In a message dated 8/21/98 3:16:17 PM US Mountain Standard Time, trace@bluesilver.org writes: << Don't forget goldleopardskinlamepants, or whatever.

Sleep tight, my dear, may your dream boat take, You, my angel...to a beautiful lake Where, I, my dear, give you a dream to dream For you, my dear, I give the moonbeams For every star in my sky shines for you As sweet it may be, and gentle as the dew I wish I could take you away And hold you, my dear, for the rest of our days Have you seen my angel? Down by the earth and fire, mixed with the rain Under the old tree, without my mind I often wonder if a day could go about, as if we were sane Locked in seals of energy, and lost in time Who chased away the sun from my life? I live in total night, under the New Moon Inside my heart, she twists her soul Cut in me like a double edge knife Lost in a place, warm and wet Can anything heal my bleeding wound? Ask the world, with silent content Have you seen my angel? Down there I walk, a place near the lake I hear the voices that pass over the quiet To you I give the stars that I make To kiss your taste in the sweet silent Free me from my world and to someone my soul to give Who chased away the life from my day? To live in everything that is gone Release me from her, I hope, I say To say everything and never once be wrong And I ask again, to the world... Have you seen my angel? I am so lonely I watch the world from a distant plane I watch the time with an open mind I watch the people suffer in pain I watch all of mans crimes I feel so left out I feel so gone I kick and I shout Is everything I do wrong? I am so lonely I watch you from up above I see what you are going through I sail free, like a Dove Then I wonder what I am going to do I see the tears from angels that fall I see what is to come My spirit is always on call Pain happens because of what we have done And I am so lonely What am I to say? I am so lonely Everything is wrong in every way I am so lonely What is going to mess up today? I am so lonely My sky is forever gray And I am so lonely Tears from Heaven In the shadows of the new fallen snow In places of mystery and light In folds of energy with lights they show Ideas from imagination and thought take flight In the foliage of the weeping willows In the soul and deepest places of my heart We lay together in love on soft pillows The rain falls soft and slow You and I, we know It's tears from Heaven Relax and together we will grow The sleep comes soon, and I will keep you warm Our love together, we will have to show I wrap you in my arms and keep you from the storm I feel, I know, I remember the softness of your kiss >From now on, no day shall we ever part Together we know loves sweet bliss Trapped together in love The rain falls softly and slowly from above We know it's tears from heaven Use Me I watch as the world passes me by Such an evil tool, the world beside me I watch as the angels cry I wonder sometimes if I am the only one who sees I want to jump in and be one I would like to normal for a year I want to be a child of the sun But your hate pierces me like a spear Twisting me into heaps of piles Go ahead and throw the match I look around to their wicked smiles Your love of hate in my heart does catch And you use me I watch as the ground freezes from the winter I know the coldness of your heart and mind that knows no deception Your hate of me is like a splinter I look into your eye perception All is forgiven we see the light The snow falls soft on the water that floats We have no cause, and there is no fight When they are gone, and all is well...I hope You tell me that all is right Still you use me...

My first Melissa experience was in November 1988. I saw her perform in a Dutch programm, she was singing "Bring me some water" and "Like the way I do". They both impressed me, but also Melissa who was singing them. Wauww a girl with a guitar and her own band. Nowdays you see them EVERYwere, but back in those days, it was very unusual.(Especially overhere in Holland) In February 1989, I bought the album, right from the first time I played it I was hooked!! Well the rest is the same like to most of you guys, it became worser and worser this addiction ;-). I think/believe it NEVER goes away. Brings me to Beloved. It's fun to read the discussion about this. I don't think Melissa will put only ballads on this new cd. Maybe that the ballads she puts on it, are a little different then before, but I believe that she also puts songs on it like she wrote before. I mean here the Rock/Blues ones. Melissa can't live without making music in the style she is good at. We have to wait, maybe that she really wants to surprise us, and will it be complete different from what we think right now. I can't wait until January, and then we will start the discussion again about the album. I was "glad" to get 35 e-mails again of you guys this morning, I felt that we are on the right track again. That's where this list is also for, to talk about Melissa even in the "quiet" times 'cause we have to "KEEP the SPIRIT alive". Well I go now, thanks to Pooh who's back to the list. I always love reading her kind words about life, music and Melissa. Bye and all the best Pat the Dutch. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V2 #108 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V2 #109 Date: August 23, 1998 2:57 AM etheridge-digest Sunday, August 23 1998 Volume 02 : Number 109 *etheridge* Isnt it strange...

Greeting Everyone, Okay, for those of you that didn't know already, I am new to this list...but I have been on here before, but that was about let's just round it off to about 2 years ago. I can see that a lot has changed...hmmmmmmmm, now let's see, oh yes. How about a nice little topic for us to discuss? Are you game? Well, I hope so.... I just recently bought a program about Astrology, and it really did surpirse me. All I did was put in a little data, and !BOOM!...all this information came up about me...I mean this stuff new everything about me...how I act, my feelings, fears, etc..ect.. and it was just neat to see this stuff come up. So, I have really taken quite an intrest in the area of the occult...but there is still that fear of Evil vs. Good, and Good vs. Evil. I was just wondering if anyone could help me...or if I can talk to someone on here that knows about this stuff, and possibly practices it. It would be great... Now, the reason that I am wanting to go into this is mainly cause there isn't a christian church that will except me (I think we know why LOL), so why not just go into an area of inlightenment, unless anyone has any info on some form of christianty that excepts me....well, I was just wondering. I just have a hard time every now and then, dealing with who I am, and why I am this way...oh well....thanks for your time, and please, please dont be offended or mad in anyway about this stuff.

Picture it. Long Beach, either late 1983 or early 1984 (hard to remember back that far). In a little dive called the Que Sera. My then girlfriend's best friend literally had to drag me into that place. It was in a fairly seedy (even then) area of Long Beach and I just wasn't in the mood. Melanie said I wouldn't be sorry. (That was an understatement!) There were only a few people milling about the bar and a few shooting pool. In a matter of moments this woman (and a cute one at that!) stepped up to the microphone, with her 12-string guitar and, after a bit of chit chat, just started bellowing out a tune. I don't even remember the tune! By the end of her first set I was hooked. I stayed for all three sets that night. There were quite a few times where she was having a bad night, or even a bad moment. Her playing in those days was very inconsistent and she just wasn't always up to par. But, one of the songs she played quite regularly was Watching You and, I must say, it is still one of my favorites. I knew it was a hit if ever I'd heard one. And, of course, Like the Way I Do . . .. wow! Twist and Shout was always one of my favorite covers (she'd play & I'd dance!) And, all of Joan Armatrading's songs she did (especially Love and Affection). . . sigh. I do remember specifically the night she came in and said she'd written a song the night before, in her car, and wanted to know what we thought. There were about 20 or so of us in attendance. She then proceeded to turn her guitar over so it's backside faced us. I thought, "Now what the heck is she doing?" She then pounded out Occasionally. Talk about an innovative performer! I think it was at that moment I realized she wasn't going to be *ours* forever; that some day we'd have to share her with the rest of the world. In those couple years before she got her recording contract there were quite a few memories including once when her guitar being stolen, and another when some drunk knocked over the amplifier (Melissa I swear that wasn't me!) I also remember when I saw her in person at the Jay Leno show. I hadn't seen her for a couple years, but had only just talked to her on Mark & Brian's (local L.A. DJ's) radio show a few days before, and she sounded exactly the same. So, when I saw her with all that blonde hair I thought, "That's NOT Melissa!" I thought at first she was an imposter! It took me some getting used to the hair change, but I know the voice will never change. Sorry I'm blathering on here, but once I sat down to try to remember my first experience it just brought up a whole host of other experiences, too. I'm really glad now that she's performing all over the world and doing exactly what she set out to do. Not many of us are quite that lucky. Take care all, Kym ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1998 19:06:14 EDT From: Sooz911@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Suzi Quatro on Happy Days Mystic Hawk writes: <> Then Joyce wrote: <> yup....Joyce is right.

The character of Leather Tuscadero was played by the british bassist Suzi Quatro. She was the only actress to play the role. I hope this settles your debate. As a parent,i think the title beloved would be very reflective of the new direction melissa's life has taken.Although i would put the words For My in front of beloved. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1998 09:53:18 -0700 From: Shannon Subject: *etheridge* 1st List experience Hi!

The newlyweds already have a daughter -- Samia, 21 months. - ------- Warbled? I've always thought of "Ave Maria" as not unlike the US national anthem as a difficult work to perform. Our Lady of Etheridge is no Kathleen Battle, so I suspect this might've been a rather amusing rendition for all ;) (especially with a backdrop of presidential portraits draped in black and RuPaul sporting a bridesmaid ensemble...)

Before there was Joan Jett or Pat Benatar, there was Suzi! And I was a huge fan...even tho I was still riding a 10 speed Schwinn at the time! For such a lil thing, she could rock!!! I was fasinated by her leather looks, with the huge bass guitar strapped over her shoulder. I had all her albums on vinyl, from the first self titled released in 1974. In 1978 she did the duet "Stumblin In", off her "If You knew Suzi" album. It was much more mellow, yet got the most airplay, and even on the cover she traded her leather and wild style for a girl next door look. I was glad to see her back to being the rocker I loved in '79 when she released " Four Letter Words", which has both hard rockin cuts as well as ballads, most with an angry edge. Of all her songs tho, my absolute favorite is " Your Mamma Won't Like Me" where she screams " I wear my jeans too tight, my necklines too low I'm getting stared at wherever I go.........nah nah nah your mamma won't like me". Probibly not, but I sure loved that vision!! Well, my ole turntable has been dead for many years now, but I may just have to make an investment to be able to hear these songs again...I wonder if Polygram still has any of her stuff in their catalog on CD or even cassette..hummm...guess I have some surfing to do! Thanks for the memories!!

Here goes.............................. I have never come out to anybody about my sexuallity before, except to one guy, and that is because he is gay.....but I am not gay. I would say that I am more along the rim of bisexuallity. I can really go either way... and i am having some trouble dealing with it. I mean, I have known that I am like this for a long time, but know that I am entering High School, and meeting all these friends, it is hard for me not to become emotionaly attached...and well, I have become attached to this one friend of mine. He is so sweet, and nice, but he claims that he hates "Gays", and well.....I have fallen in love with him. This has really bothered me, because I have all these thoughts, and feelings, and emotions towards him, but I cant act on them. It is really ripping me up inside. Ever since I made this discovery, I have had a long hard road full of hell, and fears. I have tried to kill myself several times, and well.......I was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this before, and if so, what did you do to over come it. All advise and help, will be and is greatly apreciated. Thank you all so much for your time...

Even though MLE's acoustic and electric songs are great and i love each and every one of them -- i personally think that when she's at her best it is when she is live in concert, sitting at the piano or strumming her guitar (whichever one that would be but mostly her acoustic) alone, and singing. Or even when she sings without any instruments at all!! When she sings "Keep It Precious" sitting on her stool strumming her guitar with a single light shining down on her. It's the BEST!!

I can tell you that there is a signed electric guitar (sorry I don't play so I can't possibly tell you what kind etc.) hanging in the Hard Rock Cafe in Ottawa, Ontario. I had heard about the guitar being there off the list a couple of years back and since my boyfriend was from Ottawa and we were going there to visit some of his family I made it a point to stop by the HRC. I walked it and immediately went up to a employee and asked "Where's Melissa Etheridge's guitar?" with my boyfriend back a few steps. Turned out the guitar was just up and to the right, so I stood staring up for a bit. Once we went upstairs to eat my boyfriend said the girl was really eyeing me - you know I was obviously a MLE fan and some folks just assume. I did take a picture and once everything calms down in my life (new house and new job in the last month) I'll get around to scanning it and put it up on my page. So if you're every in the Ottawa area you can be sure to see some MLE in the HRC!

Nope.. the one and only Leather Tuscadero was played by Suzi Quatro, no one else. Suzi Quatro was one of the first female rockers to acheive much in the way of success, although for Suzi most of that success came in Europe, not the USA, unfortunately for us here in the states. Oh... and Melissa would have been a bit young to play Leather at the time anyway. Suzi Quatro is right around 50 years old now, and was pretty young when she played Leather on Happy Days.

Thanks for the memories!! Yes indeed, Suzi is available on CD now, although unfortunately many of them are "imports" since her success was mostly in England and Germany. There was a laser disk of a Suzi Quatro concert in Japan up for bids on eBay a while ago and I forgot to check back at the last minute and was outbid... bummer! Now there's another "gotta have it" I need to find. (Not to mention having to buy a laser disk player just for this one concert!) Just like with Melissa though, you have to be careful when buying Suzi Quatro import CDs, as many of them duplicate material from other CDs. And unfortunately, she hasn't released a lot of new material since the albums you mentioned, so what you heard is pretty much what you get. Most of the online CD stores should have Suzi, and big record stores like Tower should too.

Some time later a got again just one minute aprox. of her video, and a put it over and over again. I loved it. When Brave and Crazy saw the light, she came here to Spain to play live.

I, on the other hand, believe that a Great singer > can sing anything - and MLE is a great singer. I don't think anyone has suggested that she couldn't sing the song, just questioned how well she would be able to do it. As to whether or not a great singer can sing anything, well, yes, and no. There are different kinds of voices, different styles, different types of vocal ability. A great singer may be able to sing anything, but how well they can do it is another question. Pavarotti has proven that he does not do well singing pop music. I would hazard to guess that Celine Dion could not very easily pull off hip-hop ala Missy Misdemeanor Elliott. Barbra Streisand does a mean show tune, but I wouldn't particularly care to hear her version of LTWID. As a trained singer, I can attest to the difficulty of singing Ave Maria *well*. When I was at the top of my form, following five years of classical vocal training, I could sing a lot of very difficult pieces well, but Ave Maria was not one of them - there are intricacies to it that you might not notice. My vocal coach, who trains opera singers, said that 95% of people who undertake the singing of the song either give up, or do such a terrible job of it that they should have. It is not like singing the Star Spangled Banner, nor Piece of My Heart, and I too question MLE's ability to "warble" it in a serious fashion.

I think a lot of you are forgetting ONE thing. Wedding songs and music aren't competitions, concerts, etc. They are a GIFT to the person who is getting married, if you will. Let me explain what I mean. I have sung in TONS of weddings and never accepted money for the ones of people I knew personally and were friends with, as this case with Kathy and MLE seems to be. Kathy didn't hire a "wedding singer" to present the greatest rendition of all-time of "Ave Maria". She chose a special friend who is also a gifted _singer_ to perform a song that was obviously special to her for her special day. I can almost guarantee that having her friend there to take part in the ceremony, et al was a HECK of a lot more important to her than MLE's technically perfect interpretation of the song. In this case (as in many), it was more about the contribution to the bride and groom than it was about getting paid or getting a recommendation to sing at another wedding. As always, these are my opinions and many people will not agree. Thanks for "listening"... FWIW, I bet Melissa kicked ASS on "Ave Maria" and I say, "You go girl!" Renee' (in Dallas, who once had to sing "Could I Have This Dance" accompanied by an organ- ugh!) "... I'm baaaaaaaaack!" ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 21:30:49 -0500 From: dark_enchanter@juno.com (Clint Rouse) Subject: *etheridge* Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, man...

But for Mary Cutrufello, you're research. The rock 'n' roll singer and guitarist loves to climb into her car and drive into a strange town. She'll search for a bar that looks comfortable, preferably one with a decent jukebox, sit down and order a drink. And she'll listen. "I've gotten some strange looks, but actually, people are really friendly," she said. "If you're honest and sincere and not coming in from the big city to be ironic, people are happy to talk to you. "Since I write songs, it's part of my job to listen to stories," she said. Cutrofello's songs are filled with characters she's likely to have encountered along the way - a woman who can't accept the end of a love affair, an ambitious youth yearning to escape a dead-end town, a struggling single mother. Those populist themes and her searing guitar make the 27-year-old Cutrufello a worthy heir to her musical hero, Bruce Springsteen. Even the raspy voice that seems to originate from a deep well sounds familiar. While Cutrufello's songwriting occasionally suffers from the overreaching ambition of youth, so, too, did Springsteen's at an early age. Her music has an undeniable spark and has attracted an unusual amount of attention for a rookie. She may not be rock's savior, but few doubt she is a potential leader. "I feel like I'm prepared as it's possible to be," Cutrufello said with a smile in the weeks before her album, "When The Night Is Through," was released. - - snip - Besides Springsteen, another obvious reference point is Melissa Etheridge. Like Etheridge, Cutrufello can rely too much on stock images in her songs - "the fire in my heart and the fever in my soul" - but she's also unafraid to search for universal truths and common ground. You get the feeling that more adept writing will come with time. - - snip - btw, mary cutrufello will be on the leno show tonight. also, kenny aronoff drummed on her album, too (it might be easier to ask which albums he *hasn't* drummed on ). *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Fleder is at least the third helmer to be attached to the project, which has been in development for over two years at Lakeshore. "Murder in the First" helmer Marc Rocco was originally set to direct. Last September Lakeshore brought in Stephen Gyllenhaal, who had directed the company's "Home Grown." A competing Joplin biopic, with actress Lili Taylor and director Nancy Savoca attached, was put into turnaround last year by TriStar Pictures. Scripted by Rocco, Julie Cypher, Jerry Leicthling and Arlene Sarner, "Heart" will be produced by Cypher and Lakeshore topper Tom Rosenberg. Lakeshore's Ted Tannebaum will exec produce. Lakeshore, which now hopes to shoot the picture next spring, projects a budget of $35 million-$40 million. So far, however, no one has been cast to play Joplin, the raspy-voiced blues singer who died at the age of 27 in 1970. Rocker Melissa Etheridge was previously set to make her screen debut in the picture, singing Joplin's songs herself. With the competing project now dormant, however, the producers may be in a better position to obtain rights to Joplin's original recordings, which would allow them to use a proven actress in the lead role. Fleder, who has been in talks with Lakeshore about "Heart" for months, has committed only to develop the project, according to his ICM agent. Simultaneously, he is developing Par's "Along Came a Spider," a sequel to "Kiss the Girls." It's not clear which of the two films, if either, will be his next directing job. Fleder recently completed the sci-fi thriller "Impostor" starring Vincent D'Onofrio, Phil Hawn, Jennifer Lopez, Gary Sinise, Madeleine Stowe and Tony Shalhoub. He also directed episode nine of Tom Hanks' HBO series "From Earth to the Moon." Fleder made his feature directorial debut with "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead." His TV credits include two episodes of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and HBO's "Tales From the Crypt." Reuters/Variety Copyright 1998 Reuters Limited.

A review of Mary Cutrufello's CD "When the Night is Through" at . I tracked it down after an intriguing review in NEWSWEEK, of all places; haven't found sound clips yet. The little bit of info on the Polygram site sh ows and impressive roster of session musicians, including Kenny Aronoff. She's on the Tonight show tonight (Thursday). - ----- From the everything-old-is-new-again file comes Mary Cutrufello. A singer/songwriter/guitarslinger, Cutrufello recalls on her debut the blue-collar grit of Bruce Springsteen, the whiskey soul of Rod Stewart, the tough-girl rock of Melissa Etheridge, and, yes, even the arena-rock fist pump of Bon Jovi. Sure, the Yale-educated, Texas-based newcomer's throaty vocal gymnastics and very macho presence sometimes feels overblown. And some songs weigh heavy with rock clich=E9s (hence the Bon Jovi and Etheridge references). But Cutrufello's downside is countered by an upside of unmitigated rock & roll bliss--tracks such as the rollicking, anthemic "Sunny Day" and the groovy, Black Crowes-like "Sweet Promise."

What about Jodie Foster? :) I read she has a "Janis" voice, not that many would know, since they dubbed over her voice in "Bugsy" Still she definately has the talent. (Of course I'm still going for Melissa who will probably be on tour at that time, no?) I REALLY don't think it should be Love, I never had, and after reading her comments, escpecially not. Maybe someone should inform her about the doors Janis opened up for women in general, as well as musicians. She took risks for her fans that at times landed her in deep water... such as the time in Tampa (Nov. 16, 1969) when she was arrested for telling the cops to let the people dance. In other words... "Janis Joplin's 4-letter word spelled J-A-I-L." I wonder what they would've done to Courtney then... :) hehe... there I go again..... peace Molly p.s. Elizabeth! thank you!

OTOH, perhaps paramount/lakeshore have decided that it's too risky for them to put an inexperienced actor (regardless of her singing and/or acting ability) in a $35-40 million film. maybe it's a combination of all of these factors? who knows... i'm just speculatin' (my favorite activity ;-) ). > and will Julie still be involved if Melissa isn't? well, let's see...according to the article, it appears so: > Scripted by Rocco, Julie Cypher, Jerry Leicthling and Arlene > Sarner, "Heart" will be produced by Cypher and Lakeshore topper > Tom Rosenberg. Lakeshore's Ted Tannebaum will exec produce. please note the "[s]cripted by...Julie Cypher" and the "'Heart' will be produced by Cypher..." phrases. but the way things have changed with this movie, who knows if JC will retain her co-writing credit or if she will continue to co-produce the film? only time will tell... btw, interesting factoid..."Heart's" co-writers, Jerry Leicthling and Arlene Sarner, wrote "Peggy Sue Got Married" and "Blue Sky", according to IMDB (http://www.imdb.com). *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

(Of course I'm still going for Melissa who will probably be >on tour at that time, no?) It was unfortunate that they dubbed over Jodie Foster's voice in "Bugsy" with adult voices, as she's got a great singing voice! The suits regretted it later with lots of "if we'd only known..." However, if you'd like to hear her very own (not dubbed) raspy Joplinesque voice (as it was also compared to in the reviews at the time), check out Jodie's 1983 made-for-TV film "Svengali" with Peter O'Toole. While the film was basically a tepid flop that she took a semester off from Yale to film, it does have many wonderful vocal performances (some rock too, no less) by Hollywood's Goddess of Privacy Jodie recorded a single (yup, a 45 ) in French back in the 70's that was only released in Europe. That I could ever find a copy... ;) Did I happen to mention that I'm a *HUGE* Jodie Foster fan? (...right up there with MLE) I think she'd be a great choice to perform the lead in "Piece of My Heart" if Melissa isn't available for the role (for whatever reason)....but, like Our Lady of Etheridge, I bet she's a bit pre-occupado right now with other things ;) A belated declaration here, but "Congrats, Jodie!" on her recent new motherhood, home now with little Chuck and enjoying it...at least according to the LA Times this week, about Jodie's appearance at the premiere for Showtime's "The Baby Dance" that she executive produced, just a month after Chuck's arrival: [snip] It's only the third time she has been out of the house since Charles showed up. "I went to get my hair cut, and I went down the street for 10 minutes. That's pretty much it." [...] "He's just the nicest little guy. He's easy and he's really mellow. He's just a little sweetheart. I could have 10 of them."

With Alanis Morrisette, Sheryl Crow, and Hole all releasing highly anticipated CDs and REM and I'm sure a host of other bands as will before Christmas, I think it best that everything calm down before Melissa releases the new CD. It could get lost in all the hype. Just the Alanis CD alone is going to bring so much "women in rock" hype that no one is going to be able to compete with it. Also, YLS has been seen in the long run by fans and the press as a sub-par release. The hype for a new Melissa CD is nothing like it was for YLS which followed Yes I Am.

The wacky Hollywood affair August 7 set new heights in '90s hipness and zaniness at the ultra- posh Jonathan Club in downtown L.A. Some 250 guests included super couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche, Casey Kasem and wife Jean Kasem, and Melissa Etheridge. "Veronica's Closet" co-star Kirstie Alley was a no-show as was "Sister Act" pal Whoopi Goldberg. They were both away filming. "The wedding reflected both tradition and wackiness," said an insider. Kathy's pooch walked the bride and groom's rings down the aisle during the ceremony. "Kathy laughed and cried as her loyal dog gave the most solemn effort it could." Kathy, 41, and Dan, 28, gave each other a very loving toast, about one another's deceased father. "Kathy was certain that both fathers heard their words -- and no sooner had she said it when an arrangement of flowers eerily fell off the altar. "Then everyone saluted the couple and their dads by downing a quick shot of the Lebanese liqueur arrack." Feminist Gloria Steinem officiated at the wedding," former "Tortellis" star Jean Kasem told The ENQUIRER. Then RuPaul blessed the newlyweds -- wishing them peace and happiness -- and blessed the entire room, including the dog and the couple's 20-month-old baby daughter, Samia. "We decided that Samia needed her parents to be legal," Kathy told a friend. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Aug 1998 16:39:29 -0700 From: Kristle Subject: *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V2 #114 i hope i'm doing this right! it's my first post, but i agree if MLE isn't in the janis movie then there's no since in seeing it. there is noone else who could do her music justice. just an opinion (dont want to offend anyone with my first post) ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Aug 1998 20:44:58 EDT From: JLUCKY7@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Ebay Site Hiya, somebody was asking me for a link to ebay and so I thought I'd just post it generally in case there are others who might want the link.

I feel that it shouldn't matter if she releases it before or after christmas. I understand that there will be alot of attention paid to Alanis Morisette, and Sheryl Crow's new Cd's. It's not about the competition, it's about the music. I do not believe that she should wait because of everything that is being released before Christmas. She should release it when she is ready.

Well that's a funny way to start, not like I'm a cowgirl or anything... anyway! I've noticed a few of you hypothesise about the contents of melissa's upcoming album Beloved. Is it going to be all ballads and mellow?! What about the rock 'n' roll?! How different to her past successes?! I say, don't worry about it...have a bit of faith, trust in Melissa. Has she let us down before? 5 fantastic albums, there's no reason to expect her 6th to be a disappointment, and how can you speculate on the contents of a new album just from the album title?! And who's to say that the title of the album won't change by next February anyway?! =20 I can't wait for the album to come out, right now, I'm feeling very melissa deficient :\ This is the first time for me, in 10 years, that I've had to live without one single Melissa album... my choice, in a way. When you split up, things like cd's get shared...when your ex fiance loves melissa as much as you, offers you a bunch of other cd's that you want anyway for your share of melissa's albums....well, it was hard to turn down. So I've lived two months now without her. I used to play a melissa album every other day. Now...I'm starting to shake....it's hard to sleep at night. All I have are a few real audio files I'd previously prepared.....ruins, resist, it's for you, I will never be the same, don't you need... overplayed, but all I've got. I'm not made of money....but soon, damn soon, I need to get my fill. Be good to yourself, especially when nobody else will.

I'm hesitant to write about it as I've heard different things about it and don't know what's true. Perhaps somebody on the Springsteen list (hi rhondda!) can give you the current rumors. In preparation for the event though, I've asked for it for the gift giving season of my choice.

It could get lost in all the hype. first, let me add my own "welcome back to the (original chicago) dave" to the others who have posted theirs. it's rather nice to see some familiar names returning, especially those who were already old fogey listers when i was a wee list newbie 3-1/2 years ago. but back to your question about the timing of MLE's release... actually, while i appreciate your perspective, i think that island (or whoever) is doing a disservice to her by waiting until after the holidays to release "beloved". since MLE's been out of the spotlight for so long - the longest break of her career, if i'm not mistaken - i think she needs the added promotional and marketing boost that a holiday buying season would hopefully bring her. > The hype for a new Melissa CD is nothing like it was for YLS > which followed Yes I Am. what hype? i haven't heard any hype for "beloved" nor do i expect to for at least a couple more months.

Perhaps somebody on the > Springsteen list (hi rhondda!) can give you the current rumors. hi bonnie! :-) not that anybody on Luckytown knows what true either! the rumors are that BS will be releasing a box set (most likely a 6-disk set, but i've also heard it could be a 4-disk set) in november. these rumors were started by 2 events: 1) BS apparently played 2 unreleased songs at a Sony convention and 2) there was a Sony ad in Billboard which listed all of the upcoming Sony releases with a cryptic "...and BRUUUUUUUUCE" tag at the end of the ad. further, at the same Sony convention, BS allegedly stated that he'd be touring next year, and "we'd like his choice of bands" [paraphrased], which is, of course, fueling rumors of an E Street Band reunion. all of these rumors feel somewhat substantiated since BS is eligible to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame next year, and is a shoe-in on the first vote...at least in my professional opinion anyway. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
