This is my first post so I hope this works... I first heard Like the Way I Do on WXRT in Chicago in 1988 (which I think at the time was the only station playing MLE). I heard it and thought "Who IS this woman?" My requirements for buying an album is usually that I like maybe 3 songs on the album. In this case I bought the red album from the first place I could find it!! So I like to crank it up on Like the Way I Do and especially Bring Me Some Water. I love playing any of her live versions loud in my car. There's no better music for cruising around int he summer. I saw Melissa in Chicago when she was here last and I have to say I never seen a more passionate woman! Talk about making love to your guitar! When is a LIVE album coming out???????

Keep on goin'!" MLE was filmed at the Hope Floats' premiere, based on her attire and those bitchin' blue shades she was sporting. KUKULSKI@aol.com wrote: > Taking a chance!!!!!!! Hey, if anyone caught the following > clips on tape; Tom Cruise tribute {ME singing 'Brown Eyed Girl'}, > ME at movie premire for Hope Floats and today's Rosie show > {w/Rod} .... and is willing to do a video trade > for em'...please email us FWIW, the clip of MLE singing BEG is *maybe* 5 seconds long, and they didn't even show her the entire time. ET switched to nicole kidman (sitting next to TC) singing along to MLE rather than show MLE for the duration. there's a subsequent clip of MLE with her fabulous 'do talking about how TC asked her to perform at the Artists' Foundation Gala and how he sent Bailey the biggest toy car she's ever seen - total clip length: approx. 5-10 seconds. so, we're talking about a total of 10-15 seconds (give or take) for the whole deal. the total length of the shots of MLE at the Hope Floats' movie premiere are probably shorter than that. wrt Rod Stewart...for those listers in the LA area, according to the LA times, Rod will be doing a special in-store performance tomorrow june 2nd at 6:30 pm at the Tower Records on Sunset in West Hollywood. free admission to the performance with the purchase of RS' new CD, "When We Were the New Boys." maybe john shanks'll be there, too. asked: > When is a LIVE album coming out??????? the burning question. the last news we heard is that her next album will be the new one due out in january 1999. as for the elusive live album that MLE always seems to talk about releasing but just never gets around to doing so, the last news, which at this point is about 18 months old, was that she had recorded the 12/17/96 SF cow palace show for eventual release. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

The hourlong show will go behind the scenes to look at the making of the film, as well as the creation of the movie's soundtrack CD - which already is getting good reviews from critics. Martin Landau, who stars in the movie, hosts the special; the inevitable guest celebs include "X" fans Stephen King, Cher, Rosie O'Donnell and Melissa Etheridge. Cynics will see this telecast as a bald-faced publicity stunt, geared to bolster the film's opening-weekend box office. Fans - no ninnies they - will say OK, it's brazen, but it's "X." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

The film will trace the involvement of musicians in important social and political changes from the post-Civil War era through the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and to major musical events such as the concert for Bangladesh and Live Aid. "It occurred to me that no one had ever chronicled what music had done socially and politically," Crosby told Daily Variety. "I realized that most of the musicians who do this kind of work are friends of mine. I thought it would be very rewarding to ask them not just what they have done, but also why they were moved to put their time, energy and sometimes their lives on the line for these causes." The picture will feature dozens of interviews with many of the most influential folk and rock musicians of recent decades, including Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Elton John, Sting, Carole King, Don Henley, Shawn Colvin, Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young. Actor/comics Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg will also appear in the film. Documentary filmmaker Todd Robinson ("The Legend of Billy the Kid") has writing and directing duties on "Stand and Be Counted." "Right now we're looking to finish the film by the end of the year to try to get it into the next Sundance Festival," said Sidney Sherman, who is producing the film. Crosby, who gained fame with the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, conceived "Stand and Be Counted" as a book, during his convalescence after a 1994 liver transplant. Crosby is co-writing the book with author David Bender for the Harper San Francisco publishing imprint. Crosby was born into the movie industry: his late father, Floyd Crosby, was an Oscar-winning cinematographer whose credits include "High Noon." Crosby is currently touring with his new band, CPR, in which he plays alongside his son, James Raymond. Reuters/Variety _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

JJ was referring to the reply to her email that kay received back from rosie, which stated [paraphrased] that rosie would be happy to have MLE on, once the new CD is released. > Does anyone happen to have the address for tickets to the > Rosie show? check out http://www.rosieo.com/cmp/tickets.htm. unlike some other talk shows which distribute their tickets on a first come, first served basis, due to the show's popularity, the tickets are distributed via a lottery system. so, the chances that you will get tickets to the show that MLE will be at are fairly low. even if you do get tickets to the requested show, those tickets do not *guarantee* your admission to the taping. IOW, if you get tickets, you should line up *early*. for MLE's appearance at the leno show back in december 1996, we were in line about 2.5-3 hours before they started letting people into the studio, which was an hour before the taping actually began. there are stand-by tickets available for each show day, but again there are no guarantees that you will actually be admitted. something to think about, if you're considering a special trip to NYC... *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I swear, I haven't changed personalities (though there are no doubt some who may wish to argue the issue!) I have never cancelled my screen name, so it's still me. :-) In fact, I doubt I will ever cancel this screen name. There is some person here on AOL who has taken Melissa Etheridge's "Melisssaa" screen name (the one MLE used for her live AOL chat in August 1996..she deleted that name for herself shortly after using it). So this impostor was going around online last summer telling people that she is MLE. Some people just need to get a real life! LOL So anyway....I completely understand Yasir's skepticism.

It was a dark and stormy night. (Well, it was actually an early spring afternoon with sun and brand new tulips blooming under my office window...but that's not quite as dramatic as 'dark and stormy', so 'dark and stormy' it will be.) It was a dark and stormy night, four long-ass years ago (I was only 49 at the time--where *does* the time go?). I was bored shitless (can I say that on this list...'shitless'...can I say 'shitless'?) so I decided to surf the net and see what I could drum up on Melissa Etheridge. I cruised on in to the official list page and looked around for awhile...it all seemed pretty much harmless, so I decided to give the mailing list a try. 'Twas all down-hill...uh...I mean, fun and games after that! I'd subscribed to mailing lists before...participated in usenet groups (one in particular--soc.motss.--where people made even *my* worst rant read like a welcome guide to sunny Florida)...I figured that I'd give it a few days and see what kind of trouble I could get into. To make a long story short (a tall order for me...), I lurked around for a few days and decided to make my first post to the list. Almost immediately, I received a most lovely private message from 'jlucky7@aol.com', welcoming me with the most open of arms to the MLE family. I was nearly moved to tears by her prolific words of peace and kindness. (Well...actually, I don't really think it happened that way. I really don't remember my first post to the list, nor do I remember my first correspondence with Joyce. It was probably something more along the lines of her sending me private mail and calling me a 'smartass', but that scenario just doesn't seem to ring as sincere to someone who is already questioning Luck's honesty/existence...) Seriously, though......I would count Joyce among my best on-line buddies. Definitely the most humble of folks, and chock full of down-right honesty (uh, as far as I know...). Mail from Joyce has always appeared in my box first-thing when I've let off steam, gone off on one of my signature rant-tangents, or after I've vented some built-up emotion, so in the spirit of 'vouching' -- Joyce Luck is certainly real and she really did write that book about kd lang! :-D jen, who figures that Joyce *might* be a tad bit embarrassed about the above testimony--but only *after* she's done spell-checking it! ****************************************************************** 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, 9 Jun 1998 12:38:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* MLE to appear on Tammy Wynette tribute album http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/upi/story.html?s=n/upi/98/06/09/general_news/people_1.html Tuesday June 9 3:55 PM EDT People By PAT NASON United Press International - - snip - REMEMBERING TAMMY WITH MUSIC: Elton John, Melissa Etheridge, Faith Hill and Wynonna will appear on a tribute album in memory of country legend Tammy Wynette, who died April 8.

(*Thanks again!*) When I later asked her for *desperately needed* pertinent info on a mutual friend, she came through for me without a problem (much to my annoyance at the time, LOL). This has to be the most entertaining material we've seen on the list in a long while! You know how good your friends are by how much they tease you... (so where does that put Michelle, Joyce??) Judging by the overwhelming response, it looks like Joyce has a lot of wonderful friends around the world who'll vouch for her ANY day!

A party followed at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Star Harrison Ford called the evening "a critical moment in the path of the experience of the film," surely one of the more cerebral definitions of a premiere. The Party: The hotel's pool area was redone by Merv Griffin Productions as a Polynesian resort with a small forest of thatch and bamboo, screeching parrots, sushi and seafood buffets, Tiki god ice sculptures surrounded by shrimp and the five-piece Mambo Dread Band playing with Taj Mahal. Who Was There: The film's stars, Ford and Anne Heche; co-star David Schwimmer; director Ivan Reitman; producer Roger Birnbaum; plus 700 guests including Ellen DeGeneres, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Melissa Etheridge, k.d. lang, Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Sydney Pollack, Brian DePalma and Tom Pollock. Theme: As Heche and DeGeneres are in the planet's most publicized gay relationship, TV crews outdid themselves in the arena in which they excel -- repetitive, one-note questioning. To wit -- "Will audiences accept a lesbian as a heterosexual romantic lead?" The number of times this was answered "yes" is incalculable. Quoted: Reitman on Heche -- "She comes to it first as a dramatic actress, but she has the heart of a clown. That's what great actresses like Carole Lombard had." Fashion Statement: What one guest described as the look of the "hard-edged Hollywood career woman." The uniform includes a black BCBG suit, white shirt, Kate Spade bag, cell phone and an attitude that says, "I have an agenda, and I am with talent." Overheard: A producer recently returned from France said that "going to Cannes makes you yearn for the depth and sincerity of Los Angeles." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Harrison Ford attended the premiere of his new film, co-starring Anne Heche. It was a big night for couples, with Heche joining girlfriend Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge and her partner, plus k.d. laing and friend were there, as were the Schwarzeneggers. Harrison and Heche get romantic onscreen. They say their sexuality offscreen is irrelevant to the film. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARRISON FORD, ACTOR: I enjoyed working with her, and if people like, you know, the movie, I think that's what is important. ANNE HECHE, ACTRESS: I do hope that takes away a question in people's minds. You know, whether you're gay or straight, you're an actor, and you should be able to play any role you want. And I hope this removes that notion in the world that gays can't play straight. If I'm the person to lead that fight, I'd love to be able to do that. I hope this movie takes that away.

The Midwest is very pretty, the cost of living is reasonable, and I do appreciate "down-home" values and so on, but Ohio (just like my home state of Virginia) was really too conservative for me. No legal adoptions for second- parent gay parents, etc. Let me put it another way. In Mansfield, where I lived, some of the professional gay women would not be friends of my ex and me because we were *too* "out" for them. That is all fine...but just not a comfortable way for *me* to live. :-) So the move away from Ohio has been refreshing and "freeing" for me, personally.

She didn't think she was pretty, she never wxperienced a stable love relationship , and she turned her blues singing and fondness for booze and drugs into therapy--a remedy to blunt the sadness in her heart. No one, then, would be more surprised than Joplin herself to know that today, nearly 28 years after she died of a heroin overdose in a Hollywood motel, she's the subject of two musical biopics that are racing to beat each other to the screen. The more publicized of the two, under development at Lakeshore Entertainment, was originally to star Melissa Etheridge. That project is on hold today as Etheridge cuts her sixth album for Island Records and prepares for the second child that her partner, filmaker Julie Cypher , is expecting in November. "Melissa will be in the studio for the next couple of months," says John Vlautin, senior vice president for media relations at Island Records, "She'll be busy with the album until the end of the year." It will be out in January, he adds, and Etheridge will launch a concert tour next spring. Given that schedule, Vlautin says, "I'd think the Janis thing would be off in the near or not so near future." The other Joplin film would star the gifted Lili Taylor(I Shot Andy Warhol) and be directed and cowritten by Nancy Savoca, who guided Taylor through the fondly remembered Dogfight. Originally on TriStar's production slate, the film is now being produced independently. "Whoever gets into production first will win, " says Rich Guay, Savoca's husband and coproducer. "Things are looking very positive in terms of getting the financing together. I don't know if it'll be ready in the fall but certainly the beginning of the year." Guay says that Savoca and her cowriter, novelist Francine Prose have done a tremendous amount of research, including interviews with Joplin's male and female lovers. According to Guay, Savoca's film eill include lesbian love scenes: "I don't know how explicit they're going to be, but they're definitely going to be there. This isn't sanitized by any means." Although their film would have a smaller budget than the Lakeshore project, Guay says, "we're the authorized version. We're working with the family and with Big Brother and the Holding Company(the San Francisco acid- rock band with which Joplin sang), and we have rights to use Janis's master recordings." Lakeshore Entertainment CEO Tom Rosenberg says his company also has nonexclusive rights to several songs and exclusive rights to the Joplin classic "Piece of My Heart." Even with Etheridge's questionable participation, Rosenberg says the Joplin film hasn't been shelved. "Melissa might come back," Rosenberg says. "She had this scheduling conflict she had told us about. We weren't able to start filming before that, (but) she indicated to us that when she's done with the concert tour, she wants to think it over again."

(We normally email the customer) Then, I must've missed her announcement of moving to California since I was unsubbed at that time, but she comes out of the woodwork with Mardi and Rose's visit and emails me. Subsequent emails reveal that she's moved in with the roommate of a softball teammate AND went to our team's party that I missed! I then miss several BAB events, which delayed meeting Joyce until Mardi and Rose's gig at Sisterspirit, which people soon figure out, is NOT the best time to meet me. We introduce ourselves and talk for a very, very brief moment before I take off again, so Yasir, I don't know if she's the real thing 'cuz I didn't have time to check her ID. Just kidding!!! Sounds like we need a "Voucher of Joyce" pin, which old-timers will recall, is similar to the "Friends of Elaine" pin. =) Andrea ps. Yasir, you can just sub to the digest...your inbox won't get cluttered and you won't miss anything. ****************************************************************** 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: 11 Jun 1998 15:23:58 -0500 From: MARYLOU.CUNNINGHAM@co.hennepin.mn.us Subject: *etheridge* The Joyce Roast I have not met Joyce.

We'd like to get suggestions for other bars (great music and dancing) as well as any gay owned/managed restaurants. If there any listers in the area that would like to meet up with us, we would love a lister gathering. Bars are open pretty late there aren't they? Unlike the sad time of *1:00 am* here in Minneapolis! So far, our plans are to go to Navy Pier and one of the museums (the one that has the lions from the movie, The Ghost and the Darkness on display). Good movie (Relic), if you haven't seen it yet. We'll have to make some time to visit family too! :-} Looking forward to a Red's hot dog! I'm hoping to find a Jr's to get some chili and chips (are they still around?).

We really wanted to see Melissa do the Joplin movie. Pauline and I feel like she was the best canidate for it. It is ashame that they could not get it to the screen. We think that Melissa would have been a great Janis Joplin. We really do not think that anyone else could have pulled it off the way she could have. She has that raspy voice like Janis and the fact that she admired her and loved her makes it even more special. This movie has been trying to get to the big screen over a year now and all over a script that Julie wrote; now they decide to boot it. It just does not seem that would be the only reason to cancel the movie for now. It has to be alot more to it. It all seems like a waste of time and Melissa could have been touring if she was not commited to this movie over a year ago. Her fans miss her alot and we all wanted to see her on the big screen. I guess this is just the way Hollywood does things. Any one else have any suggestions on why this movie cannot get on the big screen? I really do not think Melissa is going to do it now.

How many people went? Did > anybody take pictures? Do tell. Now that i have a minute, i thought i'd chime in my 2 cents about FF98. As usual, i had a great time. The crowd was much more subdued this year. and there were fewer people in attendance, overall. That's fine, it just means more leftover fajitas for Mich and me!! Of course there weren't many shots done either. Or maybe i just wasn't invited to participate in them. :) Either way, it just goes to prove that we do more than drink at the FF - even tho we talk so much about it. :) As usual, alex was a no-show, but we still yell TRAIIIIIINNNNN! in her honor, every time one drives by. It was great to finally meet Shirlthehurlgirl. and Vicky, i'm sorry i didn't get back with you, but my other roommate deleted the message with your hotel number. I wish you'd have called back. Ray wins for the farthest travelled to date - all the way from Scotland. He's such a sweetie. And a big man!! He picked me up and dumped me in the kiddie pool/cooler the next morning while we were cleaning up. Of course he also threw Joyce the shirtgal in. and i got bec, with their help, of course. it was quite amusing. And the new catch phrase is "rustling the sheets". ask joyce (the Shirtgal - not the Roaster) for more info there!! Anyway, it was great to see everyone again. and it was great to see some new faces as well. we'll do it again next year and i hope y'all will too. One last thing, i didn't take any pictures, since i knew everyone else was. So if you have pictures and are willing to send me some duplicates, i'll be happy to reimburse you. Especially any of the group photos we took.

Hello Everyone! This is a rather extensive post which we would like to direct to the people from this message board that we participate in trades with. Please forgive us for not answering you directly...it's much easier and less time consuming for us to post one BIG reply post to address some of the repeated questions, comments and complaints that you all send us through emails. Firstly, a few of you that we had done video tapes for had commented on the poor quality of these recordings. We'd like to remind everyone that the greater majority of the Melissa recordings that exist out there are way beyond 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. generation recordings {meaning that they've been recorded over countless of times}. The distortion that you're experiencing has nothing to do with either your vcr or our vcr's performance...and/or the various brands of video tapes. Each of the video tapes that are featured on our trade page had been sent to us by other traders, therefore, there's no telling what generation these tapes are! We can only offer our apologies, and to maybe suggest that if there's an overwelming feeling of dissatisfaction with your tape...perhaps you can search for another source that may offer an ealier generation recording of that particular tape{s}. Secondly, many of you have complimented me {Kay} on my cd jewel and video case art work...and wanted to know if I design cases for a living. Well, first of all....THANK YOU for the kind compliment!!!!!! And, no, this is not my field of occupation! Unfortunately, I am, and have been unemployed due to my physical challenges. Although I must admit, I dearly wish that I could embrace a position working with audio artwork...as I enjoy it very much! Lol ... my other in-home career is building computers! Anyone interested??? ... take your place in line. Lol. Please feel free to email us with any questions/comments regarding the above. Thanks. Kay n' Les Kay n' Les's Trading Page PS. A big THANKS to all of you who offered their assistance with sending us copies of the Rosie Show {w/Rod} and the Tom Cruise benefit clips. MUCH APPRECIATED! :-) ****************************************************************** 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, 12 Jun 1998 16:16:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* (NMLEC) bay area lilith fair shows Andrea Tan (the very first lister i ever met) wrote: > You guys already know about Rolling Stone's Women in Rock, right? > MLE doing YLS as well as other big named women.

No, the bash in an airplane hangar at Santa Monica Airport was heavy on Hollywood-honed visuals. Lasers flashed. Waiters in lab coats served multicolored cocktails called Alien Hybrid Martinis. Tables were backlit to give everything a translucent glow. Oh, and some hors d'oeuvres were served in what appeared to be petri dishes. Speaking of experimental material, a source with ties to the new flick told Daily Dish that one of the big X-Files mysteries - the fate of Fox Mulder's sister, Samantha, who disappeared when Fox was a kid - was left on the cutting-room floor. The storyline apparently was too "heavy" and "insider" for the casual moviegoer. But fans shouldn't despair about the cut, according to our mole: The answers should emerge in the TV show's next season. For those of you who missed TVGEN's star-studded Webcast, the movie debut spawned an endless parade of bold-face names. Never mind the expected X-Files stars: Fabulousity was in effect everywhere you turned. There was Party of Five star Scott Wolf powwowing with Star Wars' Mark Hamill. There was Mimi Rogers in an astoundingly tight dress. There was Martin Short cavorting with the press. Other famous people who stepped out of limos: Old teen hunk Luke Perry and new Buffy the Vampire Slayer angel David Boreanaz, Bill Maher, Melissa Etheridge, a Stone Temple Pilot whose name we can't remember, and this X-traordinary pairing: Lisa Loeb and Dweezil Zappa, a coupling that, somehow - we can't for the life of us understand why - managed to fall way below our radar before last night. - John Walsh _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Geez, I think I subed back on just in time to catch all the Joyce Vouching but the ironic thing is (at least in Alanis Morrisette's definition) I avoided reading the list for a couple of days while I finshed my essay which was about communication on the net and barrier to it, such as people claiming to be who they are not and also net communities and how they use the net to communicate - and case senario A was unfoldering in my inbox and I didn't have time to read it. It's funny - I believe Joyce too (great book BTW) but the point is why? The net allows us to be anyone we want to be in cyber space but it seems at least here there is a certain honesty taken for granted. Living down Under, I have only ever met one person from the list and I knew her before I joined (if anyone remebers Veronica Holmes you may have noticed the same university tag in our addresses) but in the 14 months or so that I have been on this list I have learnt a lot about Melissa and many other things I wouldn't have otherwise, trusted ppl when it came to trades etc and made some good friends in the process. I'm sure that are ppl on here that disguise themselves with cyber identities for whatever reason (I've sometimes wondered if there are guys on this list who post as women because I think I can count on one hand the male regular posters (I won't name them cos I'm sure to leave some one out and offend them ) Despite the lesbian factor, sure MLE has more male fans than that or are you all just lurking.:o) Due to the distance factor I would proably never meet most of you, though I would be interested in joining the "You can sleep while i translate road signs" tour :) - I plan to travel to Europe within the next few years anyway, either that or do a stop over in the USA on the way back to check out one of these BAB rendez-vous! (BTW if there are any Sydney, Newcastle or sourounding areas MEListers on the list I will be in Sydney in the next couple of weeks and would be interested in meeting up with anyone - email me privately - a Video showing/trades maybe able to be arranged even - need NTSC playback vid though!) These's nothing on the MEIN site about it but I found a log of Melissa in chat just last Thursday - 11th June!!(JUst b4 she went to X-files) I've read all the posts I've missed and no-one's reported on it. There was even a nick in there I recognised from here - Beachdeb. It seemed pretty genuine to me. I can't access the chat because the uni's firewall won't enable java chat (humph! :-( what do they expect us to use our free access for academic work or some thing !!!) So maybe everyone else have decided MLE appearences are old hat and not worth MLEC any more (though I doubt it!!!!) The log can be found at http://www.connect.ab.ca/~mcgaled/index/melog.html It's on Harobed and Lejre's Home page - I don't know if either of them are on the list or tigger who logged it but perhaps one of them would like to vouch for it's authiencity - just joking - unless of course you really feel the need ;-) Sorry if this has already been posted but I resubed about 6th June and I haven't seen anything about it. If anyone can't acces the net I could post the whole thing - but I wanted to check that it hadn't been posted. Some relevant points: *Still wants to do Janis movie but doesn't know.. not until after the album. *Hopes to tour Aus (I assume/hope this is short for Australia!!!) *Asked about joining Lilith - would only be able to play for an hour (If she's going to take time to tour she may as well do her own jammed pack 3hr show!) *Recorded Tammy Tribute a few weeks ago in LA *Bailey's now a full fledged toddler *Julie's having strange cravings like Veggie junk food and she's very tired. *Agrees with chatters comment that she hoped Scully would meet the right woman LOL :o) *When asked about what she DIDN'T say at the end of You Must be Crazy... MLE doesn't answer - too long and boring - Huh? Does anyone know??? While I'm on this rant I've always wanted to ask about the Velvet Janes - - everyone seems to rave about them on the list, and maybe I've had my head in the sand (or in the books ) but I live in Australia and I have never heard mention of them except on the list - they are from Perth right?? Hey there's a post here from mardi I might email her and she if their going to include Sydney/Newcastle in there tours since they seem to have made it over to play for the BABers a couple of times, then I too can experience this wonder you all rave about. Anyway that's my raving for a little while - but I'm on holidays now so you'll be hearing a little more from me soon enough :o) Love, Peace and Rock'n'Roll Joanna PS -Thanks Rhonda for bringing me up to date on the Joplin thang. Joyce's post was in my inbox along with many others but i hadn't gotten around to reading them at the time. ****************************************************************** 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, 14 Jun 1998 11:48:48 EDT From: Wood2Chris@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Happy Birthday Joyce!!

Allison Fraiberg wrote: > I can't imagine Rhondda hasn't posted this , but I may have > missed it as I lay buried under student essays. yup, i posted about it last week. i'll forgive you this time for not committing my every word to memory. btw, there were several shots of MLE and JC at E!'s X-Files premiere show. right after E! correspondents' tod newton's and melissa rivers' interview of david duchovny, there was a quick shot of MLE and JC standing on the red carpet. about 5 minutes later, TN and MR did a quick interview of MLE (JC was noticably swathed in some cranberry number as she stood below the stage). TN asked her if she had her guitar - uh, no, she didn't. MR asked if MLE was a big X-Files fan and if she had been invited to the premiere. MLE responded that she called someone up and asked to be invited. TN asked her what she was up to this summer, are you touring? MLE replied that she was working on the album this summer and raising a baby, and that she'd tour next year. TN asked how's the baby doing and when's the album coming out, is it coming out by Christmas? the baby's doing great, and no, the album'll be out in january. with that, MLE shook their hands and left the little stage. TN made a glowing comment about how he had seen her concert in st. louis, and that's why he asked if she had brought her guitar. there was a mention of MLE during kelly preston's (mrs. john travolta) interview, which was right after MLE's. MR mentioned to kelly that MLE had to solicit her invite to the premiere, and then she asked kelly, "did you get a 'real' one?" (ouch!) "yes, i did," kelly replied, "but that's cool!" (i'm presuming in reference to MLE's gumption in obtaining an invite). at the post-premiere party, MLE provided a brief testimonial about the movie, stating that it was fabulous and that she'd "been taken over by pod people." fashion report: i'll have to check my tape again, but MLE appeared to be wearing some kind of tailored, double-breasted black blazer thing that had big white buttons situated about 3 inches (or so) from the blazer's hem. a row of these aforementioned buttons circled the bottom of the blazer every couple inches (or so). it wasn't that flattering, IMO. i know that Entertainment Tonight did an extensive report from the X-Files' premiere, but i missed almost the entire show during their broadcast on early saturday evening and forgot to set my VCR for the rebroadcast at 3 am on sunday morning. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

The ceremony was dogged by Greene's much-publicized troubles over allegations of mishandling the Recording Academy's funds and a public feud with New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Melissa is butch, Julie is femme. I think with this couple it's about attitude...and to some degree they way they dress. I don't think I've ever seen Melissa in a dress (correct me anybody?) She wears dark bold colors, lotsa leather, jeans...boots...and the way she carries herself...there's a quality to it that I consider butch. Julie is softer (not weaker)...and appears more feminine to me. In Santa Cruz, where I live...there are a variety of lesbians...but probably a lot more butch lesbians than most places I've been with the exception of maybe San Francisco. Short, buzzed haircuts, no make up, 501s, t-shirts, boots, usually a tough attitude. Femmes sometimes get mistaken for "straight" women...and this is a complaint I have heard from many femmes. They like to dress up, wear make up, heels, often no identifiable "lesbian" signifiers. Butch and femme is not about strength and weakness, cuz there are plenty of strong femmes and wimpy butches in the world. I think it's a combination of looks and attitude and if ya study (i.e. check out) enough women you start to get a feel for it (really no pun intended here!) There's a whole spectrum of women who fit somewhere between very butch to very femme, and some people who proudly identify this way and others who don't. It's an important part of lesbian history and lesbian culture...and you'll find quite a few books and articles about it in bookstores these days.

I dunno, is it *practical* for a female performer who plays the guitar to perform in a dress? It would fly up all over the place and surely would make it hard for her to jam with the guitar between her legs. It would probably also kill her little performance during "Silent Legacy" altogether . I know female singers who merely SING will often wear dresses, but they're not jamming big-time on an instrument either. What other female rockers can we think of who play instruments....? Um, Chrissie Hynde...doesn't wear a dress, but she's a straight girl...um, Nancy Wilson of Heart...never saw her in a dress onstage, but she wouldn't identify as butch, I don't think.....hmmmmmm..... Melissa *did* don a dress for her "The Angels" video. Melissa also identifies as androgynous....neither strictly butch nor femme, just a little bit of both. :-) Joyce ****************************************************************** 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: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 13:33:47 -0700 (PDT) From: Kelly McGregor Subject: *etheridge* Re: Butch vs. Femme (NMEC) (I've been lurking here for awhile and while I know this isn't MLE-related and probably not the best topic to delurk on, I can't resist ) - ---Wood2Chris@aol.com wrote: > Chris and I Ok...before I start, I have to ask a question.

Do you feel as though it's a solid argument to say, based upon your own experience, that neither femme/femme nor butch/butch relationships are ever really strong? Your reasoning that you'd clash if both of you were femme reads like it would play right into the hands of some of the more ignorant heterosexuals who ask lesbian couples, "Who plays the man and who plays the woman?" I've had two long-term relationships--both of my partners would ID as femme if asked--and we were like water and molasses as far opposites attracting. I doubt that all butches have the same personalities or likes/dislikes--same goes for femmes. My motto has always been, "If I wanted a man, I'd date one." That's not to say that I've never been attracted to butch women or that I will never be attracted to a woman who ID's as butch (I'm open to whomever may strike my fancy). However, for me (and this is strictly MVHO), the whole point of loving women is lost when I think of a relationship with a butch lesbian. I am most attracted--both personality-wise and physically--to feminine women. OTOH, I've only dated a couple of women I would consider butch and have never been engaged in a long-term relationship with a butch lesbian. As I said, it could certainly happen, but I would find it highly unlikely in my case. > God forbid you call a dyke a butch!!! ??? Does this mean that only femmes are dykes? > Tou are right on the money when you say > it is an attitude!!!! Ok...I'll agree with you on that one. > So thank you for stating what wefeel atre the facts!!!!!!!! If it's only what you feel, then it's more likely your opinion instead of fact.

We are completely alike in a gazillion ways ...and we usually have to fight to see who's on top...which makes it that much more interesting...of course we both love to be flipped too...so it works for us! I do have a few friends in butch/femme relationships and I see how that has it's own magnetic dynamics happening...but the spectrum is wide and far reaching and there are a multitude of relationships that can and do work....butch/butch and femme/femme are out there and they work too... the next question is why do they have to be long lasting to be successful? Some people are into serial monogamy...and that's groovy too...I just don't think that longevity is necessarily a sign of a healthy relationship. Some people know when to call it quits...no regrets...they move on and have many more relationships that they enjoy and learn and love from...until they are ready to move on to the next encounter. My preference is to be in a longlasting monogamous relationship but that's cuz I'm with someone who I'm totally compatible with and for the first time in my life I can actually visualize living my life with one person.

Actually, it's very handy to feel ok to be butch when we want to - like doing fix-up projects in our house: I do the plumbing, she does carpentry, and we pay someone else to mess with electricity. She also cries over sappy movies, I read romance novels, and we both love action movies (other Die Hard fans out there?). I could go on and on, but my point is one of the joys of our 15-year relationship has been discovering these often-contradictory character traits in each other. In fact, that combination of strength and vulnerability is one of the reasons I love Melissa's music. The celebration of difference, as well as similarity, works well for us, and I'd guess it won't work for everyone.

Alfonse D'Amato criticized his party's top leader for refusing to let the Senate vote on the ambassadorial nomination of a gay philanthropist. ``On a personal level, I am embarrassed that our Republican Party, the party of Lincoln, is seen to be the force behind this injustice,'' D'Amato said Thursday in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss. D'Amato said he believes James Hormel's nomination to be ambassador to Luxembourg ``is being obstructed for one reason and one reason only: the fact he is gay.''........... ......President Clinton nominated the 64-year-old businessman and Democratic Party contributor last year, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee recommended the nomination to the full Senate last October. However, his nomination has been held up by a small group of conservatives who say the issue is not his homosexuality but his active support of gay causes. *end* But wait there is more.......this is what Lott---one of the most powerful men in Congress today said about this whole issue... *snip* Lott, who opposes the Hormel nomination, stirred new controversy this week by saying homosexuality should be treated ``just like alcohol ... or sex addiction ... or kleptomania.'' *end* So there is our government hard at work,,oh one more little tid bit before I let you al go...Some are saying the only reason D'Amato is speaking out is because he is 6 month from election time.....let's all hope that he is not.

It's a good topic seeing on how it's Pride month and Pride weekend is coming up next weekend in San Francisco. I think my friend Keri stated it very eloquently, but then again so did Martha. It's kind of funny cause I've been hanging out with Keri lately and we have been discussing this very subject. We have very different tastes in women which makes it so much fun to people watch. It's a lot of fun to see the variety of women that are out there. The possibilities are endless!! However, as already stated, there is no "guaranteed" formula for a successful relationship. This is what makes Life so interesting. Labels can be confusing and if you stick to them too adamantly you might miss out on the Love of your life. No one can tell you what's right for you. Just be true to your heart and live with your eyes wide open to see what's really in front of you. As for Vicky Adair's comments, she's so right about people's perceptions. It's going to take a little more time for people to become aware at how much variety their is in our community. I am the total classic example of a Fem with a hidden soft butch side (although John Don Juan Miller really is a better example of a soft butch). I'm not very handy when it comes to house stuff, but I try. I do like the feel of a tool belt (wore one for Halloween) and love wearing my construction boots. I'm more athletic now than I was in my teens, but I wear dresses and suits to work. I like being me without the labels. What people don't realize is that our sexuality is really such a small part of who we really are. I use to think that I had to change to come out. You know, look tough, get rid of the makeup, buy a whole new wardrobe, etc.... That kept me stifled, unhappy, and very lonely. Once I realized that it was ok for me to wear makeup, dresses, heels, or jeans and my dyke boots, my Life totally changed. Melissa and her music helped me out through my first year and still continue to do so. Even though I prefer other Fem women, who's to say what my next g/f is going to be like? Opposites do attract, but there has to be commonalties as well. Besides the attraction and the sex, there has to be something else that will keep you together. It won't last if that's all you have. So after rambling on and on about this, all I'm really saying is that thank goodness for the variety out there! Oh one more thing, I found it very comforting to see the long relationships that have endured the test of time! You go girls! Like Keri, I too want to share my Life with just one person, but I know I have to be patient. I'm happy she's found Claire (said with a very heavy English accent) and that long term relationships are a reality in our lifestyle. Sometimes, I've totally questioned it. I'm hopping off my little soapbox now. Thanks for reading this far cause this one was a long one. Have a great weekend, Alma ****************************************************************** 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, 19 Jun 98 19:37:05 +0100 From: florian Subject: *etheridge* Female singers in a dress Hi everyone!

How about Sarah Bettens from K's Choice?? She sings, dances, jumps while she's strumming on her guitar and wears sometimes a dress on stage. Recently she played a festival in Holland and stage dived while she was wearing the same dress as on Cocoon Crash's cd cover... I bet when she saw herself on tv later on, she probably regretted wearing this dress: while she was crowd surfing, it went up on her thighs and you could see her underwear very well!! Sarah is married to a man but somehow my gaydar can't believe she isn't a lesbian or at least bi. Perhaps because I wish she was... ;) Cheers, Florence. ****************************************************************** 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, 19 Jun 1998 11:44:19 -0700 (PDT) From: "julie l."

Subject: *etheridge* butch v. femme I think the only thing that matters when in a relationship is whether or not the two involved love each other. I myself look femme (LONG hair, soft face) but most of the time I find myself leaning towards the butch side. I work in a warehouse, love the work boots. Yet, every now and then I tend to want to wear a skirt or dress. I guess one could say I float in the middle on this. Although the label shouldn't really matter. I am who I am and I'm comfortable with it (finally). I have dated both types of women. I am in a relationship right now with someone who is a bit like me (although she dresses up more because of her job). Anyway, I'm rambling. I just wanted to say that I look at the person for what they are on the inside and not the fact that they are butch or femme. It's what's inside that counts the most. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Then again I have seen some pretty butch dykes around here who wear dresses with workboots. I have been known to stomp around the kitchen in hiking boots while I'm baking brownies. Hmmmmmmmm. I guess labels can be convenient for the sake of helping us organize our existences, but truthfully.....they are seldom 100% accurate in all cases. I guess I always thought the whole idea of some traits being "masculine" while others are considered "feminine" is just a big sham, anyway. How can we call a trait "masculine" if women can have that trait? And vice versa? Pauline, you call yourself a femme but do you burst into tears at every little thing and totally fall apart and go running to Chris to fix things for you? Or do you face your own problems with strength and courage? Oops, strength and courage are "masculine" traits. Does that mean you're actually butch, not femme? See what I mean? Labels can be convenient, but they are also flawed.

Jonatha used to be part of a group called The Story, and her stuff is sort of like Shawns. And Michelle, well, that girl just ROCKS! They both are very different, but appeal to different parts of me.

I'm sorry to be a wet blankey...but on a level closer to the topic of this list, would you/do you pirate copies of MLE's commercially released CD's to folks who accidentally erased previously pirated copies? Hopefully you don't, as it takes money away from the person who writes/records the music. Same goes for software, as far as I'm concerned. If you're not willing to purchase the software upfront, don't use it. For those of us who shell out big bucks for legit copies of decent software, it's rather a slap in the face. jen--who has invested more money than she cares to think about in software and CD's... ****************************************************************** 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, 19 Jun 1998 14:33:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* women in dresses with guitars, brownies JLUCKY7@aol.com wrote: > And Andrea Tan suggested: > > > Sheryl Crow?

Maybe so? well, i've never seen the bangles, but i did see susanna hoffs 3 times last year. she wore the same mini-dress at each show (gee, i hoped she washed it! ), and she played her rickenbacher (sp?) at the same time. granted, she wasn't rolling around on the stage with her guitar like MLE but she still managed to bop around fairly well. before she turned into a versace queen, courtney love used to wear baby doll dresses, and prop one of her feet on the monitor as she played her guitar and sang. i've also seen clips of her stage diving in these dresses as the surging throng groped her. > I have been known to stomp around the kitchen in hiking boots > while I'm baking brownies. well, there's something you haven't made for me...yet. ;-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I disagree with the statement that strength and courage are masculine traits. Do you know how much strength and courage it takes to carry a baby to term and then give birth naturally? Is it a masculine trait? No...but I've done it three times and I can tell you it took all the strength and courage in the world to do....and there will never be a man on earth who will do it. I reiterate...butch and femme have nothing to do with strength, courage, weakness, vulnerability. These are human characteristics that we all share to some degree, no matter how we identify. And we all identify with labels in one way or another, whether it's mother, sister, brother, father, friend, lover, or even melissa fan extraordinaire...these are labels...we identify with them.

Not true, if a current version of the software exists. That's why there are still stores around that sell old DOS versions of software (I know this, because my father buys DOS versions of software for his computer). Two other things: I will not allow this list to be used for pirating *anything*. I'm the one who would get into trouble, and I won't stand for that.

WHOEVER YOU ARE! By David Sprague A Father's Day card addressed "To Whom It May Concern" might sound like the punchline to a playground joke, but such a seemingly un-Hallmark item might soon be flying off shelves if the current trend toward so-called "turkey-baster babies" continues. It wasn't all that long ago that television's most visible single mom - Murphy Brown - found herself on the receiving end of brickbats from politicos such as Vice President Dan Quayle. But these days, dad-free family units are all the rage, what with adoptive moms like Rosie O'Donnell and proudly single mothers-to-be like Jodie Foster and Sandra Bernhard earning praise (rather than raised eyebrows) for expanding the definition of "family values." Even Madonna, often pilloried for her erotic enthusiasms, has been rehabilitated since evolving from Material Girl to Earth Mother - even though wags have whispered that co-parent Carlos Leon was little more than a turkey baster with a really good gym membership. "She tried to create the illusion of a serious relationship there, but it was really hard to swallow," says a former Warner Records employee who asked not to be identified. "She'd made no secret of the fact that she wanted a baby, and she wanted a very attractive man to father it." ROCK songstress Melissa Etheridge - who publicly proclaimed her lesbianism long before Ellen DeGeneres' more celebrated de-closeting - was involved with companion Julie Cypher for more than eight years before they decided to explore the option of parenthood. "I never thought 'parenthood' would be difficult because I was a lesbian, but I knew my career would make it difficult," Etheridge said in a 1996 interview. She did note at the time that Cypher (who is currently pregnant with the couple's second child) carried their daughter Bailey because "dedicating nine months of my body would be a serious stop to my career." That hasn't stopped single women like actress-director Foster - who is rumored to have chosen her sperm donor from an agency specializing in ultra-attractive fellas who share her Ivy League smarts - or Bernhard - who is due to deliver her first child in less than two weeks - from carrying babies themselves. Pamela Abrams, Child magazine's editor-in-chief, believes that the celebrity endorsement can only encourage the average working woman who might be considering similar action. "Jodie Foster is a good example of someone who's well-respected and thought of as very normal, which makes the whole idea more acceptable to people who might be on the fence on the issue," she says. "So, in that way, I think there might be a bit of a trickle-down effect." "CYNTHIA," a Brooklyn-based communications executive who asked that her last name not be used, says that while she and her lover made the decision to have a child together prior to the current boomlet, she's pleased to see high-profile role models for other women. "I'm a big believer in the idea that the media have an impact," she says. "And having an "out' couple like Melissa and Julie be vocal about their situation means that we have to do less explaining to people when we first meet them." Tanmoy Mukherjee, an obstetrician and assistant professor at Mount Sinai Medical Center concurs that the number of so-called "alternative family units" taking advantage of assisted reproduction could increase because of the influence stars have on the populace. "I think people feel less stigmatized about their situation when they see high-profile celebrities openly acknowledging that they're going through the same thing," he says. Whatever the reason, statistics show that more women than ever are taking the fatherless-homestead route. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, more than 16 million children currently reside in households with no full-time adult male presence. That's a problem for most technologically enhanced families, but not an insurmountable one. "Of course, children do need some form of male presence in their lives, and I think most single moms go to great lengths to make sure it's there - through an uncle, a grandfather, a close family friend," says Child magazine's Abrams. Cynthia and her partner have taken the rather unusual step of making sure that the biological father of their daughter - a close friend of both - fills that role. "She spends time with him every week, and she calls him "Papa,'" Cynthia says. "I know a lot of lesbian couples don't necessarily agree, but I'd prefer to have her know her entire parentage." PUBLICLY, Jodie Foster has been less forthcoming, telling The Post's Liz Smith: "I'm not going to discuss the father, the method or anything of that nature." Etheridge and Cypher also demur when asked to provide specifics - although both have denied the oft-repeated rumor that the man in their life, so to speak, is good pal Brad Pitt. "We wanted to get those questions out of the way early on," says Cynthia. "We've had very few problems so far, but my lover and I are waiting to see how much concern other parents have when our daughter gets to the age when she wants to start having sleepovers" with friends. That's a tough one, but not as tough as worrying about Lourdes' little friends stumbling across that special family photo album - you know, the one entitled "Sex." And what about those fathers-once-removed who donate sperm to infertility centers? Don't they feel an empty spot - somewhere near the tie rack - on this special day? "It is kind of weird to see a kid and wonder if he might be yours - but you have to be able to detach yourself from the situation," offers "Chuck" (not his real name), a Minneapolis artist who estimates that more than 20 women in his hometown have borne his children. "I only got a little uncomfortable once - when someone told me a friend of mine had a son that looked a lot like me." It turned out to be a false alarm. Now, however, Chuck insists his "deposits" be deposited a little farther from home. ****************************************************************** 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, 21 Jun 1998 14:44:56 -0400 From: Catherine Donkers Subject: *etheridge* interests outside MLE > Well, I was wondering if all of ya could let me know what other music > you're listening too.

There's 'NO' pirating of > any licsensed software happening here!!!!!! as i understand it, a software license extends rights to the copy purchased only; it does not automatically give one the "license" to use others' copies of the software to replace the one that you lost. if you lose your copy or decide to use the CDs as coasters or frisbees, then you must purchase another copy to replace your original one. however, i believe the point of this discussion is being lost. one can certainly pirate software or CDs or whatever to their heart's content, however, *this list* isn't the proper venue for this activity. glenna and david are the list owners, and they have the right to set the rules for the list. since glenna just said that this activity is forbidden, there really isn't any point to debate this further. speaking of the list rules, for all of the new listers out there, please put NMEC or NMLEC in the subject line if your post doesn't have any MLE content (i.e. the latest saga about your love life, your job situation, etc.). the subject line isn't set in stone, so please change it to reflect the content of your post. that way, those who don't wish to read NMLEC posts can just delete them. also, it isn't necessary to cc someone on the list if you're sending a post to the list. it should be fairly obvious that if you post to the list, then that person whom you're cc'ing will get a copy (he/she is on the list, remember?). there's really no need for he/she to receive *2* copies. please remember to remove the original addressee's address from your to: or cc: field. and i thank you...:-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I know I've done it (although I also buy a good deal of first-run tapes because the recorded ones generally sound crappy). >I possess vasts amount of respect for artists and their music that they >produce for us listeners! Well, putting aside the debate about whether or not WordPerfect (or any other software company) still benefits from the sale of software that's no longer produced, don't you feel the same way about software as you feel about musical artists? >I just wanted to clear things up for those who haven't studied their >homework! :-) Hint: the word 'trades' was used throught my entire >previous post! I'll discuss a difference or misunderstanding with anyone, anywhere, but the above statement ruffles my feathers a tad bit. Assuming you're referecing moi in the above statement, I *did* do my homework, and you did *not* mention the word 'trade' in your request for a copy of WP 6.0. You used the word 'trade' only in your requests for people with whom you're trading to write to you since you lost email in the transfer to your knew computer. In point of fact, you asked if anyone was willing to 'lend' you a copy of WP 6.0, preferably on CD ROM. Big difference between lending and trading. >In a message dated 98-06-20 10:48:12 EDT, Glenna writes: >>Considering the current version of WP is available at college >>computer stores for next to nothing (think I paid $40 Canadian for >>WP8), why would anyone bother to pirate it, anyway, for private use? >Thanx very much ... you stated my exact thought! :-) > >I HAD a copy of WP, I OWNED this copy...and I LOST this copy! Now I >just wanted to replace it ... that's all. There's 'NO' pirating of any >licsensed software happening here!!!!!! That's strictly your opinion and a matter of personal interpretation (I guess). The fact of the matter is that you *are* participating in piracy if you copy software owned by someone else onto your own computer, if it's still loaded on their computer (I do believe that if you read the licensing agreement that comes with the software, you'll find the section covering such a practice). In essence, it's not going to hurt me personally (although I would imagine that at some point, piracy effects the price of software), and you'll end up doing what you want to do. As I stated previously, however, it frosts my butt given the fact that I have no copied/pirated/borrowed software on my computer and have paid through the nose for software that I wanted/needed or I've done without. 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: Sun, 21 Jun 1998 22:30:16 -0400 From: johnlee21@juno.com Subject: *etheridge* New Book (Gay + Lesbian Oriented) I just got the new book by Bob Paris.

For those of you who are staying a bit longer, you can view the VENUES page for venue-specific schedules, or you can view the COMING EVENTS page for some of my recommended music events... there are also some special music 'search tools' at the bottom of the COMING EVENTS page for those of you with different music tastes than mine. :) JohnJuan 'softbutch' deMoaner 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: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 02:31:27 EDT From: JENFER7193@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* VCR Alert: VH1's Women First - Girls with Guitars In a message dated 98-06-22 01:54:35 EDT, you write: << according to RockOnTV (http://www.rockontv.com), VH1 will be showing a Women First program entitled "Girls with Guitars" tomorrow 6/22 at 10:00 am (check your local listings!). the program will include videos by MLE, sheryl crow, jewel, and paula cole (she doesn't play guitar, does she?). the description of the program on VH1's site indicates that the MLE video will be.......CTMW. *rhondda* >> to answer your question, paula plays guitar but not very well. in fact, only on one song...carmen. she looks at her hands the entire time so you can tell it's not her forte:) 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 ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V2 #51 ****************************** From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V2 #52 Date: June 23, 1998 3:01 AM etheridge-digest Tuesday, June 23 1998 Volume 02 : Number 052 *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V2 #51 [Lisa Richards ] Re: *etheridge* Re: Butch vs. Femme (NMEC) [Chris2Wood@aol.com] *etheridge* National Enquirer ["Patty Kolakowski" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 12:40:18 -0600 (MDT) From: Lisa Richards Subject: *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V2 #51 >From: Rhondda Ashby >Subject: *etheridge* VCR Alert: VH1's Women First - Girls with Guitars > >according to RockOnTV (http://www.rockontv.com), VH1 will be >showing a Women First program entitled "Girls with Guitars" >tomorrow 6/22 at 10:00 am (check your local listings!). the >program will include videos by MLE, sheryl crow, jewel, and >paula cole (she doesn't play guitar, does she?). Oh who knows Rhondda?! Perhaps if the guitar looks good on her...

Unfortunately, that's not the society we live in. "Liberty and justice for all" really means liberty and justice for all those who seem "normal"--white, middle-class, and heterosexual. I think the "no labels" phenomenon is an interesting one that historically pops up whenever under-privileged groups start demanding rights--just at the point where they form a coalition through group identity, society invalidates that identity by insisting that they are really "just like everyone else." IMHO, it's the same line of thought that allows the extremists on the right to insist that gay rights are "special rights." It's also the same argument as the one that says we should be "color-blind." In an ideal society, yes, but in the one we live in that's just a way of erasing or ignoring vital ethnic populations and differences, as well as inequities that exist because of those differences.

When those words were written over 200 hundred years ago it meant white men whom had been presecuted by the crown of England. From day one this country has been a prejuiced one. But I still have to give credit to some of my forefathers..they had to stand up to something to get there freedom. Of all of those names that adorn the Decleration of Independence only 2-3 were on there when the document was sent to England. The rest signed there name on the second round for the one that would stay in the newly formed America. Those one first where the ones who'e beliefs and courage ran deepest. A similar seen has happened over and over again in history, Women's Suffarage, Civil Rights.....everytime a group of people who are being discriminated against come together and fight for thier rights some rise to the top and become leaders...martain Luther King, Susan B. Anthony....now it may be the gays of American's turn to stand up and say 'Stop' in a loud untied voice. When women wanted the vote, they used the arguement 'no taxation without representaion' like thier grandfathers had years before them....what will be our battle cry. With key member of the government calling homosexuality 'something akind to sex addicts or achololish..'and our neighbors, family shaking their heads at us......we must bring this to the end, somehow. Now a family of two men or women moving into a neighbor hood must be the 50's version of a black couple moving into an all white neighborhood. We as a group have to stand up for our rights, our freedoms...no one else is going to do it for us, especially not the government. We have to raise our voices, raise our banners, raise all those around us....and educated people. Tell them we are still the same little girls that came to your house and played with your child, we are the little boy who delivered you newspaper, the girl who rode her bike around the neighborhood, the boy who took your daughter to all the middle school dances, the girl who was a student body president, the boy who was quaterback, the women saleing your house, the man fixing your car, the daycare worker, the sales clerk, the voice on the radio, the face on the tv........we are all of those and more....just like everyone else.

Hmm, this label discussion seems to have gone off on a tangent, which is fine, but it's not related to the original conversation. Since I may have instigated some of this, I feel compelled to point out that none of the sentiments above were ever in question. I don't believe anyone questioned who you loved, what roles, if any, you happened to fit in or made anyone take a label they didn't want, so while I think the comments above were well-intentioned, I also think they're irrelevent. (On a complete aside, don't mean to slam you, Damon, I don't mean to, but didn't you say in an earlier post that we don't need labels, yet you start off with "I'm a straight male"? I just found it interesting, that's all.) Forcing a label on someone or judging someone soley by their label is not right, that's a no-brainer. And besides, that was NEVER an issue. I was questioning someone else's label, which is what seems to have started this whole can't-we-just-all-get-along-feel-good posts. While I think labels are useful to some extent (esp. on cans), it's an ideal and not possible. Even if you don't use labels, you'll be known as "the person who doesn't use labels"...=) Andrea "I'll do the labeling for myself, thank you" Tan =) ****************************************************************** 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: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 16:53:37 EDT From: JLUCKY7@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Rocker Chicks in Dresses/BAB Party In a message dated 98-06-25 16:17:27 EDT, Andrea said: > While I think labels are useful to some extent (esp. on cans), it's an ideal > and not possible.

So, there are three dates still under consideration: Sat, August 8; Sat, August 26; and Sat, Sept. 5 (part of the long Labor Day weekend). BABers (or others) who would like to attend, please email me privately for add'l info and PUH-LEESE let me know which of the above dates would work for you and which would not.

After reading all of our recent posts, I realized why I disagreed with him: I have to be proud until society *accepts* that it "just happened" to me, until it no longer matters to anyone. I do think being gay (or not) is out of my control, but I'm gonna make myself keep my rainbow in the right wing's face (or "Testify" to use MLE's term) until they don't care any more. Then pride and labels won't matter any more, either. And I can go back to my quiet, mild-mannered (Clark Kent?) life.

[SilntLgacy@aol.com] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 26 Jun 1998 11:21:58 -0700 From: Alma Goldchain Subject: *etheridge* Lilith Fair (NMEC) (slightly long) Well seeing on how I just get the digest, I didn't read Joyce's or Glenna's post till today. Joyce, being the complete "tease" that she is, mentioned me and my highlight of the evening without really elaborating, which evidently left Glenna hanging, wondering what it could be? This is one of those situations that if you don't tell someone, then you're not really sure it happened? It still seems pretty unbelievable even to me! For those that are not interested, feel free to delete because there isn't any MLE content (that I can think of). First let me say, that no matter where we are, when we BABers get together it's always a guaranteed fun time! There were a few missing that night, but we did have a guest from LA who made up for at least one of those that didn't make it to the show. You know who you are! As Joyce posted, we all got Sarah's autograph before she even played. Thanks to Edgy's keen eye and Rhondda's confirmation, we all approached Sarah and she was nice enough to accommodate us. However, I accidentally smeared my autograph because I wanted to shake her hand. She was soooo cute! While we all gathered up front to see K's choice, we were talking about how great we thought Billie Myers was (I was very enthused and kept on saying "she was soooo hot!), this girl told us that she was signing CD's at the Tower booth. No one wanted to go, but I just HAD to. So I ran over there hoping she'd sign my ticket or this piece of paper I had. I didn't have anything else to sign, well at least I thought I didn't. These girls in front of me were starting to get bold and were asking for her to sign there bras, their breasts, their shirts, etc... I had to think fast, the pressure was on, she was starting to head out. So, I did what I had to do, I asked her to sign my underwear. I just happened to be wearing Victoria Secret wide-band undies. She gave me that all too sexy smile and dived right to them. I was in heaven! But, that's not all. While signing, she said (in her awesome English accent) "Ah, Victoria Secret's, I'm wearing them too." She then preceded to show me her's. (On the way home, I couldn't help thinking of Melissa's song "Meet Me in the Back" -- "First show me yours and maybe I'll show you mine....") There's one more thing, I had to ask her for a hug, because mainly she just signed my underwear how could I not?? She gave me a great big hug and I got to tell her I thought she was hot. I didn't mean too, but the words came flying out. I'll never forget that moment!!! (Look John ---> Goosebumps!!!) I was reeling in my moment while Sarah was playing in her short skirt and ripping at her guitar. She too was so much fun to watch. Her voice was sooo smooth yet she really rocked! By the time the show ended, I had to get Sarah to sign the other side. I needed to feel balanced. Hell, I'm a Libra. It's a way of Life to me! So, I missed Erykah Badu (SP??) because I chose to stand in line to get Sarah's autograph for the second time that night. By the time I got up to the desk, her band members where there. I didn't want to me rude, so I asked the all to sign and guess what??? They did! One guy (I think it was Sarah's brother) told me that was the first time he had ever signed someone's underwear. I liked hearing it. Sarah of course laughed and said "Sure why not?" She signed in Green, so her signature really stands out. I felt balanced and incredibly happy that I got what I wanted. The rest of the concert was just as amazing! I had never seen Natalie Merchant or the Indigo Girls live, so of course I was very impressed. Sarah was a given - her voice was perfect (well at least from the lawn that's how it sounded). The energy that hovered over all of us lifted us to a higher level. The weather was perfect and as the stars shone brightly above us, I thanked God for giving me the opportunity to be part of this night! Moral of the story, "it doesn't hurt to ask!!"

I can't imagine having a show about women guitarists and not including Nancy Wilson(who looks damn fine in a guitar!) or how about the Indigo Girls as well. The guitar play of a Jewel, Cheryl Crow or Paula Cole(I do enjoy their music) compared to that of Nancy Wilson...well really folks it is like trying to compare the guitar play of John Shanks to that of Eric Clapton. On a separate note I have really enjoyed all the discussion about Butch vs Fem. There were some very well written comments on this subject. Many of my friends here on the list kid me about being fem but I certainly have my moments when I exhibit my butch side(i.e., ball cap on backwards driving the Jeep Wrangler instead of the Z-car, playing hoop).

And it has powerful support for this: a popular culture insistent on offering images of grown single women as frazzled, self-absorbed girls. Ally McBeal is the most popular female character on television. The show, for the few who may have missed it, focuses on a ditsy 28-year-old Ivy League Boston litigator who never seems in need of the body-concealing clothing that Northeastern weather often requires. Ally spends much of her time fantasizing about her ex-boyfriend, who is married and in the next office, and manages to work references to her mangled love life into nearly every summation she delivers. She has fits in supermarkets because there are too few cans of Pringles. She answers the question "Why are your problems so much bigger than everyone else's?" with the earnest response "Because they're mine." When Ally gets any work done, how she keeps her job, why she thinks it's O.K. to ask her secretary why she didn't give her a birthday present--these are all mysteries. Ally probably wouldn't seem so offensive as an addition to the cast of Seinfeld, but because this is a one-hour drama filled with pseudo-Melissa Etheridge music and emotional pretense, we are meant to take her problems more seriously than George Costanza's. "Ally McBeal is a mess. She's like a little animal," notes Nancy Friday, a sex-positive feminist if ever there was one. "You want to put her on a leash." And what does Ally's creator David Kelley have to say about Ally as a feminist? "She's not a hard, strident feminist out of the '60s and '70s. She's all for women's rights, but she doesn't want to lead the charge at her own emotional expense." Ally, though, is in charge of nothing, least of all her emotional life.

Ally spends much of her time fantasizing about her >ex-boyfriend, who is married and in the next office, Does anyone watch this show? I've seen it once, but in general I avoid it because of the promos I've heard/seen; they all characterize her in exactly the same way: poor Ally, desperate for this married man . . .

Any ideas?" Okay, I'll admit to watching this show a few times. It's not that Ally appeals to me or seems like me. In fact, like Seinfeld, the characters are not people I like or admire. But they are all a little crazy and I watch to see what they'll do next. I enjoyed the dancing baby as a metaphor for the ol' tick-tick of the biological clock - it tormented Ally rather than fascinated her, and was definitely NOT cute. And the music on the show is good, rather than just fashionable noise in the background. I guess the show entertains me, which is the least I demand from TV. Ally is a female Walter Mitty, with really funny flights of fancy in the middle of serious situations. I don't want to be like her, yet she seems very truthful in those fanciful moments. I find this show funnier than most "situation comedies".

I am just not following the writer of the article here. Perhaps simply because the music itself seems to be full of "emotional pretense," it is only natural to compare it to the music of Melissa Etheridge, whose music is also emotionally charged. But this also doesn't make sense to me because *most* music is emotional in nature. Can anyone help me make the connection? Michele asked: >Does anyone watch this show? I've seen it once, but in general I avoid it because of the promos I've heard/seen; they all characterize her in exactly the same way: poor Ally, desperate for this married man . . . Ally plotting (in fantasy, anyway) to murder off the guy's wife . . . Ally in angst over her love-life . . . Just curious about what the appeal might be, and why women seem to identify with the show. Any ideas? I watch the show. As for myself, I don't see it as a drama at all. (Unlike the person who wrote the article previously mentioned.) I think it's the most imaginative show on TV right now (which isn't always saying much). The characters are quirky and the situations are odd, but believable enough to make it entertaining. The show is satirical of life. It's real, but just a little skewed. The appeal of Ally may have to do with the way that women identify with her. Ally obviously doesn't *need* a man--she is a very intelligent and successful lawyer. But she does want one. I think there are a lot of people (not only women) who are in a similar situation. Because of a lot of the negative media surrounding the show, I have asked several women I know who I consider to be strong, independent, and intelligent women what they think of the show. Most of them actually love it, and none of them are offended by it. They think it's hilarious. The key is to remember that it isn't real. It's not trying to be ER or NYPD Blue. Anyway, I wouldn't let all the hype keep you from watching the show. Give it a chance, and keep your sense of humor handy. Remember: exaggeration is often used as a comedic device. Sharon ps--A lot of people dislike MLE's music because it is "overdone." ****************************************************************** 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, 30 Jun 1998 16:08:24 EDT From: JLUCKY7@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* Teeny Weeny MLE Content Hi y'all! I have decided, with some regret, to part with some old magazines (featuring kd lang) that I've had for zillions of years. I know this is the Melissa list, but I know many of us are also kd fans.

But I will sell the ones listed to those people making the best offers. The mags are: August 1993 Vanity Fair (issue with kd lang being "shaved" by Cindy Crawford on cover)--complete magazine in excellent condition May 1992 Elle article: "Ann Magnuson Talks While KD Croons", pages 80-86 (article has nine color pics)--article ONLY, not entire magazine, in good condition Feb 16, 1990 Entertainment Weekly (kd on cover; a particularly collectible magazine because it was the very first (vol. 1, no. 1) issue of Entertainment Weekly--complete magazine in excellent condition December 1992 Interview magazine (kd on cover), contains an interview with Graham Fuller and has some GREAT pics! Complete magazine in excellent condition April 1992 Pulse magazine (kd on cover); article by Linda Kohanov, "KD Lang: Chanteuse Extradordinaire"--complete magazine in excellent condition *****Also I am selling an old May 1992 Music Express Magazine with Melissa Etheridge on the cover; article is with Roy Trakin, "Melissa Etheridge: The Naked Truth"--complete magazine is in fair condition.***** If any of these items interests you, email me your best offer by July 6 by 6:00 pm Pacific Time.
