As a matter of duty, I planned my entire Sunday evening around two showings of Vh-1's Storytellers and was not disappointed that I'd done so. IMHO, SN is one of the premiere song writers of this generation and, of all the performers I've had the opportunity to see live in the past 10 years (MLE, IG's, Paula Cole, Springsteen & Mellencamp, to name a few), she lends the most passion and feeling to her work of any of them. While watching the first airing of Storytellers with a friend who is also an avid MLE admirer, we agreed that while MLE is a most energetic musician who lives to perform, she has yet to really hone that passion and 'feel' for her music that SN exudes. I also came to the conclusion that the thing that sets SN apart, for me, is the variety in her subject matter and emotion. Where MLE has, in the past, dealt mainly with anger and loss (although YLS saw her branch out a bit more), SN's writing has generally been varied in it's content and delivery. Now to the Janis content. :) Someone in the audience asked SN who her female influences had been (she lists Tom Petty and Bob Dylan as male influences). She answered, "Janis,"=20 and I thought, "Why am I not surprised?" I had never really made a connection between the two until last night (yes, I generally have to be conked over the head with an iron skillet before I 'get' much of anything that should be obvious! ). But the longer I considered this revelation, the more I began to think that I see=20 more similarity between JJ and SN than between JJ and MLE. No doubt a few of you will label me a blasphemer for my conclusion ...but perhaps a few will see what I mean. While MLE can belt out those raspy screams better than most anyone, Stevie ain't too bad herself and lends the experience, in her sound and delivery, of a hard-lived life similar to JJ's. This is, of course,=20 leading up to my suggestion that SN would make a decent choice for the lead in the JJ movie originally slated for MLE's appearance. I say this w/o having ever witnessed any true attempt at acting from either SN or MLE, however SN's videos and stage presence lead me to believe that she'd have a hand up on MLE in the theatrics department. Just my $.02 on a rainy Indiana day...(or maybe it's those cheap drugs again...) 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, 2 Nov 1998 16:19:43 -0500 From: "Molly" Subject: Re: *etheridge* Janis (NMEC)~ plus some other stuff Speaking of Janis :) Has anyone here heard of Pretty and Twisted? It's a band stemmed from Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano (I'm not sure if any of the other members are in it) album in the store the other day, I had to buy it. I was reading through the lyrics, and came across this beautiful song that really caught my eyes. When I looked to see if she wrote it herself (like most of her songs) I discovered it was JANIS that wrote it! Needless to say I hit the floor. :) I like the thought of Stevie playing Janis. I definitely think she could do the role justice. (Obviously) Now I'm sure most of you've heard the song Torn, by Natalie Imbruglia. At this point in time I can't listen to that song ever again (due to overdone air time), however a friend of mine has the CD, we were listening to it, and it makes me wonder... how could Torn be the song that made her famous. There are some awesome songs on that album. One more thing that I found out a few weeks ago. I was in the car on the way to swim practice listening to the radio (the tape deck was broken) when the DJ came on. It was Kristy Knight! I got really confused. I thought she lived in Canada. starry skies Molly ***** ****************************************************************** 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, 2 Nov 1998 18:22:24 -0700 (MST) From: vjanes@mercury.networx.net.au Subject: *etheridge* new email nmec >Hello oh fine and wonderous friends of the ME list.

Stevie Nicks is AMAZING! She's my all time second favorite performer. I have seen her live many times and she still blows me away. Bella Donna was the soundtrack to my high school years (guess that dates me). Just over a week ago while in phoenix, we watched the sun go down from a lookout point just below her house. How Beautiful! As far as her playing Janis... indeed that would be GREAT but I don't think she's right for the part. MLE maybe.. is Courtney Love still up for the role too? (you know, there already was a movie made, loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin. Anyone remember The Rose? Bette Midler gave one of the performances of her life in that one.) Anyway, Stevie was most definitely influenced greatly by Janis as was Ann Wilson. Both were up and coming ROCK singers in a world where there were only a few - Janis and Grace. I'm so glad Stevie is still around - she walked on the edge, and almost twirled off the stage a few times(:, during the 70s and 80s. She is the epitome of Rock Goddess and sober enough now to keep living it.

Fans will remember how devastated Phillips was when he lost former wife Julie Cypher to rock superstar Melissa Etheridge - made worse when he was publicly humiliated before a national radio audience by the ever-sensitive Howard Stern. Anyway, tonight Phillips will guest star on "Spin City" (8:30 p.m., WBBM-TV, Channel 2) as a love interest for Michael J. Fox' gay assistant Carter, played by Michael Boatman. Phillips portrays a naval officer and old pal of Fox' -- who doesn't know he's gay. The episode's closer is a musical spoof (Yes, they play "Up Where We Belong") of the final scene in "An Officer and a Gentleman," starring Richard Gere and Debra Winger. - - snip - Bill Zwecker (zwecker@suntimes.com) is a regular contributor to Channel 5 news at 10 a.m. weekdays and at 9 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

A lot of the visual appearance for any role in either movies or on stage comes from within to begin with. As far as I can tell, based upon interviews I've read and seen with both MLE and SN, SN beats out MLE in the "been there, done that" department. If SN were interested in revisiting her past problems on film, I think she'd have MLE beaten hands down. Again, only MHO. >A little plastic surgery can do wonders. I think she looks better - >and younger - now than she did 20 years ago. What-what-what?! Do you really think she's gone under the knife? ;) In all seriousness, for me, the attraction is mainly rooted in her attitude and the part of herself that she lets her admirers see through her song-writing. I'm not much of one to want to "get into people" and find out what makes them tick, but SN is one of the few celebrity-types that I'd actually like to meet and get to=20 know...although there is always the possibility that I wouldn't like what I got to know and that would ruin every fantasy I've ever had abou---uh, I mean--it would ruin my enjoyment of her music. Yeah.

I think I have to agree that SN's capacity for "been there, done that" would greatly outweigh MLE's, certainly in breadth and depth. Melissa may have been "around the block" but I seriously doubt she's ever been in as many "states" as SN over time. Of course, having a rich fabric of personal troubles to keep one close to the human condition is not the same thing as willingly using it as a well from which to bring honest human pain and struggle to the screen, as Courtney Love demonstrated when she scoffed at the personal price of the Janis role, complaining about the give and take of such a journey through her own inner life. Rhondda posted a quote from Premiere magazine back in August: >"No one is less surprised by Barrymore's skill at navigating >the tough Hollywood terrain than Love, who describes Barrymore >as 'way canny and way ambitious.' She gives an example. 'I'm over >at her house,' Love recalls. 'And I was whining, "I don't want >to play Janis Joplin! Fuck Janis Joplin.

And Drew >said, very cold and clinical, "How much are they offering you?" >And I said, "Seven Million plus first-dollar 10 percent." And she >said, "Well honey, in this town, that's the biggest gift you can >get."' If SN were *willing* to revisit her past problems in any role -- but particularly a tragic figure like Janis -- it would indeed be an amazing performance, IMHO. After all, the word "passion" comes from the word "suffering." In that, SN and Janis seem to have a lot in common. IMHO, Stevie's gorgeous at any age,...and I think she's an "old soul" :) Patti ****************************************************************** 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: Wed, 4 Nov 1998 14:24:41 EST From: Jessluvsu2@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* fav 3-song set Let's see.

Patti http://www.boston.com:80/dailyglobe/globehtml/308/New_money__old_Papa__Ally_ oops__sta.shtml - ----------------------- [...snip...] Rolling Stone for Nov. 12 works up its old political dander to condemn Kenneth Starr and the inquisition of President Clinton, with a strongly worded editorial by Jann Wenner. To underscore the point, the magazine collects comments from a bunch of rock and movie celebrities, including obvious big mouths like Eddie Vedder, Bono, and Lou Reed. The many observations end up sounding like repetitive cant, except for a few light spots, one or two unusual points, and some unexpected venom. David Byrne has no fond feelings for Clinton: ''I think he's a lousy president, I think he's scum,'' he says, though not in reference to the small-potatoes Lewinsky business. Melissa Etheridge feels sympathetic: ''I lied the first few years of my own sexual behavior, so I know what it's like.'' Patti Smith has a cultural interpretation: ''When I look at the crucifixion of Clinton, I look at the crucifixion of my generation. They are finally nailing us for introducing new ideas about sexual mores, sexual freedom, personal freedom.'' And Shirley Manson of Garbage has a literary perspective: ''It's beautifully Shakespearean.''

Released this fall by Razor & Tie Entertainment, in association with Rolling Stone magazine, The Rolling Stone Women In Rock Collection, is a three-volume collection of music chronicling women's vital role in the history of rock 'n roll. This is an unprecedented set featuring nearly every important female recording artist from the dawn of rock in the '50s all the way through to the riot grrrls of the '90s and beyond. Compiled by Holly George-Warren and Barbara O'Dair, the editors behind the successful Rolling Stone Book of Women in Rock: Trouble Girls (Random House 1997), this collection will be a must for all fans of great rock 'n roll. A portion of the proceeds from sales of Women In Rock will benefit breast cancer research. Volume one of Women In Rock takes the listener back to the dawn of the rock era. Remarks Holly George-Warren in her volume one liner notes, "Since rock & roll's earliest roots, women have played a crucial -- though often unheralded -- role in the music's development." Thus the set kicks off with Big Mama Thornton's original version of "Hound Dog," the very same song that Elvis turned into a number one smash. In fact, Elvis recorded his version three years after hearing Big Mama's. Etta James was another one of the early hard-edged vocalists whose feisty, demanding "Tell Mama" appears on the collection. Then it's on to more familiar, but equally breathtaking performances by such legends such as Diana Ross & The Supremes ("Stop! In The Name of Love"), Janis Joplin ("Me and Bobby McGee"), Aretha Franklin ("Chain of Fools"), the Velvet Underground & Nico ("I'll Be Your Mirror") and Carol King ("It's Too Late"). Each of the artists, in their own way, would inspire much of the music that would follow. Disc two is the bridge between the turbulent '60s and the pop and rock that would distinguish the rock 'n roll women were making twenty years later in the late '80s and early '90s. Featured are a wide variety of styles and voices, including such gutsy, hard-edged performers as the Pretenders, Eurythmics, LaBelle ("Lady Marmalade") and Joan Jett ("Bad Reputation"). While the girls of rock had traditionally informed their writing and singing by their experience, the '70s was the first time confessional songwriting appeared among women: thus, Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" and Janis Ian's "At Seventeen" appear here. The disco era is represented, too, by the likes of Donna Summer ("Hot Stuff") and Chaka Khan ("I Feel For You"), and the intensity of punk rock is showcased by X-Ray Spex's "O Bondage, Up Yours." Notes for volume two were prepared by Arlon Berger. The third edition in the collection spans '87-'97, the period when hip-hop and "alternative" took center stage. Bands like Sonic Youth, featuring Kim Gordon, and Belly, and artists like PJ Harvey were making edgy, progressive strides. At the same time Queen Latifah, a 19-year-old powerhouse was singing catchy, hip hop songs from real-life experience. Her duet with Monie Love, "Ladies First," is a sassy and hummable number. Madonna proved as vital as ever, reaching her creative peak with the blockbuster smash "Express Yourself." Artists like Sheryl Crow, Joan Osborne and Melissa Etheridge were proving yet again that women were every bit as ferocious and rocking as their male counterparts, if not more so. And, of course, the singer-songwriter movement had regained its momentum with songs from artists like Suzanne Vega ("Luka"), Shawn Colvin ("Sunny Came Home") and Jewel ("Who Will Save Your Soul"). Notes for the third collection were written by music journalist Elysa Gardner. The Rolling Stone Women In Rock Collection is a rich, enlightening collection that will be of interest to fans of good music everywhere, putting into perspective the extraordinary role women have played in the history of rock 'n roll.

Today's winners: * Melissa Etheridge's "Chrome Plated Heart," for the redundantly repetitious line, "And the night is black, as black as night." This jewel was submitted by David James of Long Beach, Long Beach's David James. * In a similar vein, reader Mike Kvammen of South Pasadena nominated George Thorogood's "I Drink Alone," for the verse: "I drink alone, with nobody else. You know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself." Apparently, Thorogood also writes his lyrics alone, with no editors. * Next up is No Doubt's "Just a Girl," which was selected by April Abercrombie of Loma Linda for its anatomical expertise: "I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak, 'cause they all sit and stare with their eyes." As opposed to staring with their elbows? * Finally, Andrew M. Duncan submitted the Doors' "L.A. Woman," for this grammatical innovation: "I see your hair is burning, hills are filled with fire.

I personally missed it, but it'll probably roll around again as a re-run. Patti - ---------------------- An Officer and a Gentleman Gets New Spin On the Tuesday, November 3 episode of Spin City, Mike=92s (Michael J. Fox) childhood best friend Nate (Lou Diamond Phillips) visits and falls for Carter (Michael Boatman). On the eve of New York City=92s "First Annual Tolerance Day," Nate, on leave from the Navy, shocks an unsuspecting Mike who discovers Nate and Carter in an embrace. An upset Mike arranges for Nate to be shipped out of town early. In therapy, Mike admits that he may be a little homophobic. After confrontations with both Carter and Nate, Mike surprises Carter by having Nate enter the Mayor=92s office in his officer whites, swoop up Carter and carry him away as onlookers gaze and applaud approvingly=97all to the theme from An Officer and a Gentleman. While the idea that a member of the Armed Forces could be so open about their sexual orientation, let alone in such a public, government building is a tad unrealistic, this latest episode of Spin City (see GLAADAlerts 11.1.96, 2.4.97, 11.7.97) deserves kudos. Nate=92s coming out makes a gay-friendly Mike confront homophobic attitudes when sexual orientation hits a little closer to home. It=92s also encouraging to see Carter, the only regular African-American gay male sitcom character on primetime TV today, in such a positive relationship. Please thank Spin City, 1997 GLAAD Media Award winner, for this great episode about tolerance and friendship, regardless of sexual orientation. And, please thank them again for the amazing Carter.

I can't *resist* answering your least favorite lyric question. Mine would be "So I run into the street, And I shout into the phone, asking everyone I meet" from My Back Door. However, I ignore these small lapses in lyrical sense, because I love the tight poetic structure of Testify and I'm the Only One. And Nowhere To Go, and Silent Legacy, and ... well, you get the idea.

Hey y'all...GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (copied from AOL w/out permission...oops) Newt Gingrich Resigning From Congress By DAVID ESPO .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (Nov. 6) - In a stunning end to a tumultuous career as House speaker, Newt Gingrich abruptly dropped plans to seek a new term Friday after Republicans lost five seats in this week's election. In his conversation with the rank-and-file, Gingrich indicated he would also leave Congress before taking the oath for the term he won only 72 hours ago. ''We have to get the bitterness out...,'' he told fellow Republicans in a conference call. ''It is clear that as long as I'm around that won't happen.'' Gingrich dropped his bombshell three days after his party was blindsided in mid-term elections. Already, one lawmaker had stepped forward to challenge him for his powerful post, and others were weighing candidacies, as well. Gingrich's departure is likely to set up a wide-open succession struggle for the post that the Constitution places third-in-line to the presidency. Rep. Bob Livingston of Louisiana announced his effort to dethrone Gingrich during the afternoon, and Rep. Bill Archer, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, was canvassing support even before Gingrich broke the news to his staff, fellow GOP leaders and then the rank-and-file in a series of conference calls. ''I am appreciative of Newt Gingrich for bringing us to the majority and even more thankful that he understands that for the Republican Party to go the distance, we need a new leader,'' said Rep. Michael Forbes, R-N.Y. In his conversation with the rank and file, Gingrich several times referred to cannibalism to reflect the GOP infighting that has broken out in the wake of Tuesday's setbacks. ''The idea that I would be the excuse to cannibalize the majority is so sickening I couldn't risk it,'' he said, according to sources. White House spokeswoman Julia Payne said President Clinton was aware of news reports about Gingrich's announcement. Gingrich's departure would mark an abrupt end to a remarkable career in which the Georgian rose from back-bencher in a seemingly permanent GOP minority to architect of the Republican takeover of the House in 1994. Even his critics acknowledged his intellect and ability, but after four years, even his allies had grown weary of his management style. Republicans lost five seats in Tuesday's elections, the first time since 1934 that the party in power in the White House mad scored gains in mid-term elections. It left them with a 223-211 majority with one independent. The outcry was instantaneous. Gingrich came under fire from fellow Republicans. Some complained about a late-campaign series of television commercials, and some complained he gave away too much to President Clinton and the Democrats in year-end budget negotiations. Gingrich had flirted with resigning as speaker in the past when he was buffeted by political setbacks and crises, including the politically disastrous 1995 government shutdowns and an abortive coup against him last year. Eat time, though, he resolved to stay in his post. Livingston's decision to challenge the Georgia Republican for the speakership was the latest manifestation of the seething within party ranks over setbacks in this week's elections. ''Revolutionizing takes some talents, many talents,'' Livingston, a 20-year House veteran from Louisiana, said in praise of Gingrich at a news conference where he announced his candidacy. ''Day-to-day governing takes others,'' he added. ''I believe I have those talents.'' Livingston stepped before the microphones a few hours after Rep. Steve Largent of Oklahoma announced plans to challenge Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas, the second-ranking leader among House Republicans. The elections, in which House Republicans lost five seats, indicate that ''the Republican Party hit an iceberg'' on Nov. 3, Largent said. ''And I think the question that is before our conference today is whether we retain the crew of the Titanic or we look for some new leadership.'' Behind the scenes, there was ample evidence of the turmoil in the party's highest ranks, a reflection of the frustration Livingston and others feel with Gingrich's leadership style, and long-festering animosities among top leaders themselves. Sources who spoke on condition of anonymity said Gingrich and Livingston, who have worked closely for years, had talked by phone in the hours before Livingston made his formal announcement. At one point, Livingston faxed Gingrich a three-page letter containing an implicit suggestion that he might be willing to drop his challenge to the speaker in exchange for a grant of power. Marked ''personal and confidential,'' the letter called on Gingrich to agree to a list of requirements for the new Congress. The requirements included giving Livingston ''final authority to determine content'' of his committee's bills, ultimate authority in the selection of his committee's members and authority to make ''all final decisions'' on last-minute deals with Democrats or the White House on appropriations matters. After the letter was sent, Livingston told Gingrich to ignore it, say GOP sources, speaking on condition of anonymity. Livingston made his announcement at campaign-style rally with the Capitol as a backdrop. Supporters and longtime associates had been urged to attend, and some carried hand-painted signs that read, ''Speaker Bob.'' Rep. Jim Talent of Missouri, a third-termer who has been weighing a run for governor in 2000, said through an aide he is seriously contemplating a run for speaker. Indiana Rep. David McIntosh has also been flirting with a leadership challenge, for speaker or another post. In addition, two lawmakers said they would attempt to draft for the speaker's job Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., who is leading the impeachment investigation. The leadership figure whose job looked safest was Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, the whip. He issued a declaration of support for Gingrich on Thursday that pointedly did not extend to Armey or Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the fourth- ranking leader, with whom he has clashed in the past. DeLay raised his profile again Friday, as sources said he was working to help Virginia Republican Rep. Tom Davis become chairman of the GOP campaign committee. Boehner, whose name had surfaced as a potential rival for Armey, announced he would seek re-election to his current post. But he already has at least one rival, and the prospect of more. Boehner's frustration with Gingrich's leadership style is an open secret among House aides, and his decision to seek re-election to his current post apparently reflected a belief that Livingston could succeed in his challenge.

Enjoy, - -Anne - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- November 8, 1998 Aronoff to headline IU marketing This year's plan to feature performance by famous drummer By Mike Wright, Sunday Herald-Times Four new television ads featuring former John Mellencamp drummer Kenny Aronoff will begin airing this week as part of Indiana University's latest marketing campaign. The 30-second spots, to the beat of Aronoff's drum score, show a fast-paced sequence of student portraits interspersed with statistics about IU's academic prowess, its position with employers, national honors and wide choice of course offerings and campus locations. "The concept we used demanded a hard-driving drumbeat," said Christopher Simpson, IU vice president for public affairs and governmental relations. "The moment we began thinking of who we could get, Kenny Aronoff came to everyone's mind." Aronoff is a music instructor at IU in addition to his working in rock 'n' roll. He is best known as the longtime drummer for Hoosier rock star John Mellencamp but recently worked with the Smashing Pumpkins as well as with a number of other musicians in the studio. Aronoff donated his time to write and perform the music for the ads, Simpson said. "We went to the studio for five hours one night to lay down the track and mix it on computer," Simpson said. "He spent that time in the midst of a tour, late at night, free of charge. We owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude." The ads will cost about $1 million to produce and air, about 25 percent less than was spent on the 1997 campaign to enhance the university's image and raise its visibility. ****************************************************************** 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, 09 Nov 1998 09:35:28 +0100 From: ines Subject: Re: *etheridge* moronic lyrics SHARON.A.ROUW@monsanto.com wrote: > If I were to choose a lyric of MLE's, it would be "All the way to > heaven is heaven."

"The coolest thing about KBCO," he told his audience at the Buell Theatre, "is that they don't care what the rest of the world thinks is cool." Friday night, Wilcox and others performed in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Boulder station's acoustic Studio C broadcasts. Also on stage were tunesmith John Hiatt, Chicago soul-rock band Sonia Dada and a surprise act, hometown heroes Big Head Todd & The Monsters. It was a night for the rockers to give back something to a station that pioneered the loose, rootsy rock format now known as adult album alternative and that, at one time or another, gave each of them some much-needed airplay. Deejays on KBCO (97.3 FM) gave away tickets to the show to listeners, several of whom were seated behind the performers on the informally decorated stage. In keeping with Studio C's unplugged character, the concert was mostly acoustic. Only Sonia Dada (which performs again tonight at the Boulder Theater) was fully amplified, but no one seemed to mind; the group's simmering gospel-on-steroids sound met with the warmest audience reaction of the night. The well-balanced show also offered Wilcox's lean, muscular story- songs, a laid-back Big Head Todd set that closed with the Elvis Presley hit "Suspicious Minds" and a twitchy, manic performance by Hiatt. The show closed with Hiatt joined by Sonia Dada singers Shawn Christopher, Paris Delane and Michael Scott for a stirring church-choir treatment of "Have a Little Faith in Me." The concert was dedicated to Scott Arbough, who as KBCO's Studio C producer has been the mastermind of the series. Earlier, Arbough that Studio C started by accident during a visit to KBCO's former studios by Melissa Etheridge. "We were the first station playing her," Arbough said, "and she came here in June of 1988 to do an interview. It was a hot day, so she brought her guitar in from the car because she didn't want to leave it out there. We said, 'Hey, you've got your guitar, do you want to play?' So we set up a couple of microphones in the hallway and that was it." By 1991, said Arbough, the station hit on the idea of selling CDs of Studio C highlights as a way to raise funds for charity. The discs have become immensely popular; last year's edition of 25,000 copies sold out in 2 days. Volume 10 of the CD series goes on sale Nov. 27 at Blockbuster Music stores. Proceeds will go to the Boulder County AIDS Project. Today, Studio C is an actual studio, with an adjoining mixing booth and 16-track recording gear. Over the years it has been visited by Paula Cole, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, John Fogerty, Jewel, Lyle Lovett, Dave Matthews, Sarah McLachlan, the Moody Blues, Willie Nelson, James Taylor and many others. Last week, Phish stopped by. "Early on it was easy to get people to do it, because KBCO was one of the first stations in the country to do this," Arbough says. "These days, a lot of people are doing it (including rival station KXPK with its 'Peak Lounge' series) and it's become more of a chore to get people to volunteer. But, KBCO has a heritage and people know the station." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

But when Joplin's former band, Big Brother & The Holding Company, throws out the reference, it's something special. Members of Big Brother once saw up-and-coming blues diva Susan Tedeschi in concert and after the show, they told her she was Joplin reincarnated. Tedeschi told POLLSTAR that members of Big Brother asked when she was born and upon hearing that her birthdate was November 9, 1970, they exclaimed, "That's right after she died! You are her.... You came back." Tedeschi thinks the comparison comes from the emotional release she goes through while performing. "Sometimes I let the music totally take control and I'll just start preaching," she said. "That's the gospel coming out in me. And a lot of times, instead of it sounding like Irma Thomas or Etta James, it sounds like Janis, because it gets a little raspy or a little crazy." She's incredibly flattered by the comparison, however. "It makes me feel like, wow, I must be doing something right if I'm touching people in this way." Tedeschi said Big Brother member Sam Andrew suggested she play the role of Janis in an upcoming movie, but Susan said she doesn't want to be known as Joplin. She wants her own identity. - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

The show, entitled True Life: Matthew's Murder will include coverage from the city where Matthew lived and died, Laramie, Wyoming, where friends reflect on the loss of Shepard to violence. In New York City, a vigil where police confronted 5,000 marchers, resulting in charges of police brutality and over 100 arrests, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community makes its anger and sadness known. MTV also traveled to South Carolina, where young people talk about the murder, struggling with the belief that somehow gay people "ask for it," while also feeling the horror of the brutality of the hate crime in question. During the show, viewers will be provided with an 800 hotline for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth, as well as a web site with live peer counselors available immediately after the show. In addition, the "Fight for Your Rights" initiative will produce television programming, public service announcements, and live events in order to empower young people to take a stand against violence.

When #Etheridge was started a few years ago it was simply to be a place where fans could get together meet new friends, talk about Melissa, and what ever happened to be on their mind. It slowly got away from that concept, and at times seemed like the dating game. Hopefully things have changed, and we can get back to the original concept of the room.

In my experience with chat rooms--which is, admittedly, limited to the Ridge on AOL and to the MEIN chatroom, and to some of the lesbian chats on AOL--that about sums it up. For example, in my visits to the MEIN chatroom, very seldom do people discuss Melissa Etheridge. It is instead a forum for Melissa fans to meet and get to know each other. Kind of like a party. So if I threw a party and invited Melissa fans to it, I wouldn't expect them to sit around talking about Melissa the whole time. I'd expect that they'd get to know each other and talk about everything under the sun. I think that is more or less how most chatrooms work...unlike a "topic oriented" list or bulletin board. So I think your expectations may not have exactly matched the rooms' purpose. Have you tried The Ridge on AOL? Anyone can go in at any time. Perhaps you can organize a Melissa-only chat, where people agree to just discuss the music. Hope this helps, 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: Tue, 10 Nov 1998 13:30:10 -0800 (PST) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* (NMLEC) LA Times: Seagram Plans Major Revamp no actual MLEC, but this article discusses the massive pending cuts which seagram is planning on doing to its various music companies, including island (MLE's current label). i've only included the most relevant excerpts. it'll be interesting to see how this restructuring will affect MLE in the long run. *rhondda* http://www.latimes.com/sbin/iawrapper?NS-search-set=/3648a/aaaa001Ro48a8a8&NS-doc-offset=2&NS-adv-search=1& Tuesday, November 10, 1998 THE BIZ Seagram Plans Major Revamp PolyGram, Universal to See Cuts, Closures and Consolidations By CHUCK PHILIPS In the most massive restructuring in the history of the music industry, Seagram Co. has developed plans to slash $300 million in costs annually from the PolyGram and Universal music groups by integrating dozens of business operations in 44 markets around the world. The unprecedented move will result in the shuttering of well-known labels, the closing of plants and warehouses as well as the loss of thousands of jobs. Some of the nation's best known record labels -- including Motown, Geffen, A&M and Mercury -- are expected to undergo significant downsizing as Seagram attempts to transform itself into the largest and leanest music conglomerate in the world. Seagram plans to consolidate its U.S. music division into four large groups and install an aggressive new management team made up of some of the industry's youngest and most successful entrepreneurs, including Interscope Records' Jimmy Iovine and Def Jam Records' Lyor Cohen, sources say. Internationally, the combined company is expected to rely heavily on the strengths of PolyGram, which has been the industry leader for a decade. The U.S. organization is expected to become a hybrid of both the PolyGram and Universal music groups. The reorganization -- which will follow the December completion of Seagram's $10.4-billion purchase of PolyGram -- is expected to begin in January and will take at least until next summer to implement. Rival music industry executives predict that the combined entity -- to be called Universal Music Group -- will emerge as a formidable competitor, accounting for at least 25% of all music sold around the world. Analysts suggest that the massive restructuring will provide Universal with unparalleled economies of scale guaranteed to boost operating margins and position the conglomerate for strong revenue growth during the next three years. "After Universal completes the consolidation, it should be able to outperform anybody in its peer group," said Michael B. Nathanson, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. "Because of its size, it will definitely have the most attractive cost structure of any of its competitors. Guys like Sony or [Time] Warner can't possibly cut costs that deep. Universal will benefit by keeping PolyGram's highly profitable international operation intact and emerge with a leaner, more efficient U.S. operation that should give them the highest margins in the business." The reorganization is certain to cause management discord and morale problems in the months ahead as Seagram attempts to merge the different cultures and operations of the two companies. Several competing record chiefs said they hope to use that window to raid the company for executives and artists. - - snip - Details about the consolidation plan and management structure are not expected to be announced until late December, but sources say the U.S. division will be divided into four large companies -- two on the East Coast and two on the West Coast. Morris, an industry veteran with a track record for discovering and grooming successful managers, has already lined up an ambitious executive team to run the proposed units, although no contracts have been signed. - - snip - Island, home to U2 and Dru Hill, will be combined with Mercury, home to Kiss and Bon Jovi, to form Seagram's other major outpost on the East Coast. Staff and artist rosters will be cut at both labels, and PolyGram distribution chief Jim Caparro, 46, will take over as chairman, with John Reid, the 37-year-old chairman of PolyGram Canada, brought in as president. Island executives Hiriam Hicks, 35, and Johnny Barbis are expected to take on new roles at the combined company, but Island President Davitt Sigerson and Mercury chief Danny Goldberg are likely to leave. Luke Lewis will continue to run Mercury's highly profitable Nashville division, which will remain operating as a stand-alone label -- although back-office functions for the company will be combined with MCA's Nashville operation. Under the plan, each of the four U.S. units would be pared to about 100 recording acts and 175 employees and expected to generate an estimated volume of at least $200 million per year in album sales. Each company will maintain its own marketing and promotion staff, but payments to independent promoters and industry tip sheets will be slashed. The Interscope/Geffen/A&M unit will end up being a somewhat larger structure and be expected to generate more than $300 million. - - snip - "There is no question that management is making a very strong effort to integrate the Universal operations with those of PolyGram," said Christopher Dixon, media analyst for PaineWebber. - - snip - Rudi Gassner, chief executive of BMG Entertainment International, predicted that Seagram's new Universal Music Group will alter the balance of power in the global record business. "Once Seagram overcomes the integration problems inherent in every takeover, the new company will emerge as a formidable competitor," Gassner said. - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

In response to Joyce...I can sorta understand what she's saying but what was going on in the room was not a get to know ya, lets chat kind of thing. At "your party" would you expect everyone to be a lesbian?? or expect people to make sexual passes with each other all night?? Again...just my opinion. Something to consider. The only reason I wanted to go there was to chat about Melissa. I didn't expect everyone to talk exclusively about her but an answer to one question would have been nice. That's all I was saying. I was looking for a place where others share my interest in her. Nobody I know likes her or cares to hear what I have to say regarding her. Well, I've rattled on. I really don't like to post much here, in fear of being jumped on for saying the wrong thing.

Kunz" Subject: *etheridge* Etheridge Room - Dr. Chuck speaks Ok, I don't know what happened to my last post, but somehow it got cut off! I don't think I used any funny ASCII, so I don't know why it was cut. I just have a few things to say (and respond to) about the new #Melissa_Etheridge on DALnet. * New web site - the new URL is http://drchuck.simplenet.com/melissa (thanks to Tina for mentioning it :) This is a *brand new* site, being built from the ground up. At some point, there will probably be a regs section, but not until the new channel has been up for a while. The old site will eventually be phased out, but again, not for a while. New things will come (hopefully) quickly to the site, so stop by every so often to see what I'm up to. * Old #Etheridge on EFnet - I had no idea that this channel had degraded so far as to become a flirting channel. At the beginning, it wasn't, it was just a nice place for people to get together and chat (for both Melissa and non-Melissa oriented discussion). The biggest problem with EFnet was the total lack of control over just about anything. Often the channel was taken over, effectively blocking out others from joining it. That's not good, in fact that sucks. That's elitist and disgusting. Even I wasn't going there anymore, and when I did go there was no one there (probably because the usual crowd was hanging out at 3am, gettin' jiggy wit' it!) * What's different about #Melissa_Etheridge on DALnet - the first thing you'll notice is that it's on DALnet, which is a big difference. EFnet was (and still is) chaos. DALnet is much more controlled. DALnet is a lot more structured to allow channel operators to keep control of their channels, even when they're not online. In the past, anybody could be a channel operator, now only a few people are ops. Right now it's myself, Tina, and I think Cheryl. It's also easier to administer channel rules and keep out the "undesirable element" (i.e. no flirting, if you want to do that there are plenty of channels on IRC for that... Tina? Any other suggested rules?). Feel free to take a look at http://www.dal.net to see the services they have for channel operators. You'll see that they're quite a big help. Having said all that, I do encourage you to visit #Melissa_Etheridge on DALnet. With a new album on the way, there will be plenty of Melissa to talk about, and new folks to talk about her with.

I would also expect some flirting to go on amongst straight, bi, and gay people. I would also expect different "clusters" of people to talk about different things and that some of the clusters would stay the same throughout the night whereas other people would wander and mingle. In short, there'd be a lot of different things going on. I'm sorry, but I did not get from your post that ALL that was going on was flirting between lesbians. It seemed to me (at least, this is how I understood you) that you were upset because the chat wasn't centered on Melissa Etheridge. So all I was trying to do was explain that perhaps not a fair expectation, because I'd never been in any chatroom that always stayed on topic. Then I suggested a possibility for you: that perhaps you personally could arrange some kind of on-topic chat about Melissa. And I signed my email "Hope this helps." <> What am I to make of this? Coming on the heels of your response to me it sounds like you're saying I "jumped on" you. I didn't. I regret that you took it that way when I was only trying to be helpful.

I know of several people from the old and new channel that have tons of .wav files, pictures, and other stuff that they are interested in sharing with other people. It is not just a channel for lesbians either, (no offense to anyone here). It is a very mixed crowd, myself being a straight, married, mom of a four year old little girl *grin*. I guess what I am really trying to say, is that the whole point of #melissa_etheridge on DALnet is to try to meet new people that have a common interest. And part of the new guidlines, if you want to put it that way, is that there is no flirting on the channel keep it in private. If not you are out. Not trying to jump on anyone, but I felt my point was somehow lost.

I would ask that you all keep a copy of = the guidelines in the same place you keep your welcome message to the = list. If this is not possible, a link to the guidelines can be found on = the mailing list web page at esosoft (the address for which is included at = the end of every post to the list). I would like to try to remember to = send these guidelines to the list every couple of weeks or so, but like I = said, that could very well be a tall order. =20 Here goes...questions should be directed to either Glenna or me. Thanks. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1) As has always been the case, cross posting from other lists or = newsgroups is a no-no and can merit a warning upon repeated offense or if = the material is extremely offensive in nature. [**Exception: Cross-posts are allowed if they pertain to the topic at = hand, as we've seen in the past few weeks with the gay parenting and Ellen = issues. When cross-posting occurs under this exception I will send a = reminder of the guidelines to the sender as a technicality only--no = warning will be given.] 2) Posting of private e-mail w/o the consent of the originator is = considered poor netiquette It's also not acceptable fare for this list and = offenders will be issued a warning. **This is different than sending posts to the list, addressing a specific = person, which *should* be taken to private mail. If I feel that an = exchange between two people really does not warrant the space and time of the entire list, I will ask that further = conversation pertaining to said discussion be taken to private mail. = Requests of this kind are *not* warnings...they are simply courtesy calls. 3) CHAIN LETTERS, GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEMES, PETITIONS AND 'URBAN LEGENDS' = ARE GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THIS LIST! This is stated in the = FAQ that we all received when we first subscribed. This includes posts = about 'Killer Computer Viruses', sick little boys who want post-cards, = etc. As I do not have the ability to sub or unsub, removal based on this = offense will be entirely up to the list owners. **The posting of other non-MLE related 'crap mail' (ie, lists of bumper = sticker sayings, lists of jokes, lengthy anecdotes, etc.) will warrant one = warning per incident. While some folks may find these posts amusing, the truth is that they are rarely original and have been = circulating the net for years. They take up disk space and the more = lengthy posts can sometimes take a while to download. 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 memorabili= a 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.=20 5) Personal pot-shots and flames will not be tolerated on this list. = Spirited discussion and mature debate is welcome and disagreements may be = voiced, but direct attacks on each other will simply not fly. Thinly = veiled attacks against one another (ie--"You know who") will also be = grounds for me to issue a warning. If you feel that you simply *must* give = someone a piece of your mind, give it to them off-list. **I will not be responsible for off-list feuding! If you become involved = in an argument off-list, whether or not you are the perpetrator, there is = absolutely nothing I can do to resolve the issue. If you feel strongly = enough about something that someone from this list has written to you = through private mail with regard to list material (if the situation turns = into harassment, threats, etc), I will read a complaint, but I will not = intervene. If you feel threatened or someone will just not leave you = alone, you must take it up with the offender's provider. A person's = off-list actions will have no bearing upon their list status, unless it = comes to my attention that a person or persons are harassing or threatening= people off-list on a regular basis. If this situation ever occurs, the = matter will be forwarded to the list owners for their review. 6) As far as finger-pointing among listers...this, too, is a no-no. I = won't take kindly to people writing to me and telling me that what someone = else said offended them and that they think a warning should be issued. If = you are offended enough to think a person should get a warning, then I = suggest that you take it up with them through private mail. Remember--I'm = subscribed to the same list that everyone sees. If things start to get = rough, I'll intervene and attempt to keep things civil. **Administrative warnings/suspensions will never be made public--no = exceptions. 7) This is not the MLE Info-Only list (MLE info-only is not moderated, as = there is really no need for it). NMEC is allowable as long as it's in good = taste and follows the guidelines set forth for MLE-related posts. NMEC is a big part of what makes this list 'family' to = a great number of people. I will, however, reserve the right to ask that = any topic (MEC or NMEC) be discontinued if it is apparent that the participants are allowing things to get out of hand = (ie--flame wars erupting every other post, off-topic discussions that = dwindle down to participation among only two or three people, etc). 8) Warnings will be issued for some of the more major violations (where = stated above). Upon receipt of two warnings within a thirty day period, = the offending poster will be suspended from the list for one week. Each warning thereafter will result in a suspension = which will increase in duration with each incidence (ie--a lister's second = suspension will last for two weeks, a third for three weeks, etc.). Repeated violations and suspensions will, at the = discretion of the list owners, result in permanent removal from the list. For now, I will send a majority of ADMIN posts from (jsmith3@bsu.edu). = However, on weekends and in the evenings, if I see a need to send ADMIN = messages or posts, I'll send them from (03jesmith@bsuvc.bsu.edu). I'll try not to be too confusing where = this is concerned. In closing, I'd just like to say that I think we all make up a mature, = diverse, friendly, safe place in which to share our differences and = similarities--the biggest of which is our mutual admiration for Melissa Etheridge. Thanks in advance for helping myself and all other = listers to keep it that way! :-) *Glenna Johnson - List Owner glennaj@earthlink.net *Jen Smith - Moderatrix, Jr. jsmith3@bsu.edu --OR-- 03jesmith@bsuvc.bsu.edu ****************************************************************** 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: Wed, 11 Nov 1998 18:40:29 EST From: RHYTHM19@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* baby's due date !!!

Patti - ------------ http://www.planetout.com/pno/news/features/1998/10/hatecrime.html Campus Anti-Gay Violence Study NewsPlanet Staff Friday, August 21, 1998 / 04:23 PM SUMMARY: A shocking number of community college students not only admitted committing homophobic harassment and violence, they saw absolutely nothing wrong with it - and would probably do it again. "Indeed, assaults on gay men and lesbians were so socially acceptable that respondents often advocated or defended such behavior out loud in the classrooms while I was administering my survey," wrote forensic psychologist Karen Franklin of her pioneering study of campus perpetrators, presented at the American Psychological Association convention on August 16. Franklin administered questionnaires to a general group of 500 students at several unnamed San Francisco Bay area community colleges with shocking results: of the men in the sample,18% reported having physically assaulted or threatened someone they believed to be gay or lesbian, and another 32% admitted to verbal homophobic harassment. When women, who reported much less violence and harassment, were included, the overall figures were brought down to 10% and 24%. This may be the first systematic empirical study of perpetrators not only of homophobic hate crimes, but of any kind of hate crimes. Most of the attackers "do not fit the stereotype of the hate filled extremist. Rather, they are average young people who often do not see anything wrong with their behavior," Franklin wrote. Those who attacked or taunted gays and lesbians fell roughly into four groups. The largest described their behavior as "self-defense," based on the perception that gays are predatory and therefore even a friendly gesture from one is sexual and a legitimate reason for violence. A second group felt a duty to enforce social norms, a third group were described as thrill seekers, and the fourth group simply went along with their homophobic peers. Across all four groups, wrote Franklin, "almost half the assailants reported a likelihood to assault again in similar circumstances. That is, they either lacked remorse or did not see anything wrong with their behavior." Even those who had never assaulted or harassed gays and lesbians were not so much more tolerant as they were concerned about getting in trouble or experiencing retaliation. Franklin concluded that, "The reason they don't see anything wrong is simple -- no one is telling them that it is wrong." She called for "a national policy of pro-active intervention against school-based harassment and violence," with anti-bias activities beginning as early as possible, even kindergarten, to prevent homophobic attitudes from taking hold. ****************************************************************** 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, 12 Nov 1998 03:38:31 EST From: KUKULSKI@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* CD DATABASE SITE {NMEC} Hello Everyone.

"Along Came a Spider" was actually the first novel by James Patterson that introduced the character Alex Cross, who was played by Morgan Freeman in the first film. Dish hears Paramount got a strong script by Mark Moss, who did rewrite work on "Kiss the Girls." The studio had a sequel option with Freeman, but the big question will be whether director Gary Fleder will be back. The studio wants him, and he's amenable. The trouble is, "Kiss the Girls" was his last film and he wanted to do something different first. Unfortunately, that film is the Janis Joplin biopic at Lakeshore, one of two films about the songstress that have been stuck in neutral. The Lakeshore project once had Melissa Etheridge, and then Courtney Love as possible leads, but fell apart both times. The rival project is still on track with Nancy Savoca planning to direct Lili Taylor as Joplin. If Fleder can find the right actress, then he would likely make the biopic his next film. But if he doesn’t, he might well be rejoining Freeman and producers David Brown and Joe Wizan. Fleder's repped by ICM and Freeman by William Morris. - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I for one am ever grateful for the friends I have made here and know that each day I will find something to be grateful and appreciative for.. Today it is for Melissa and her music. I love it. I am grateful for it. I love those around me more and I tell them so quite often now. Today I will tell you all. I love your stories and your experiences. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for being part of this life of mine fragile as it may be. It is a great day to be alive and listen to music once again with new meaning and appreciation.

The featured look at Matthew's murder -- its causes and its aftermath -- launched MTV's new "Fight for Your Rights: Take a Stand Against Violence" series, partnering with the US Depts of Justice and Education in an anti-violence awareness and education campaign. I have posted strongly from Day One of Matthew's murder about many aspects of it, all because it really struck a nerve in me that was there all along, and I know that I am passionate about this issue. I am aware that there are those who really don't care or who shrug it off as something someone else needs to deal with or who think it has no place on a Melissa Etheridge mailing list. But I feel it has relevance to us all -- as human beings. This kind of invasion and violence has no place anywhere....and unless we speak out, unless we stand up to a clique (and clique is really "cling") -- here, we have a straight group of human beings who think they are superior to us by their membership in the clique...and express that membership in dehumanizing ways....Unless we stand up and say "I'm a human being, and I may not be like you, but my rights as a *human being* don't change in light of your opinion," then the outcasting and the dehumanization and the violence will continue unchecked. What struck me most was that at the heart of anti-gay sentiment as portrayed by the homophobic human beings interviewed is their intense focus upon the sexual aspects of being gay. Things like "it's not 'natural'" and "a man and a woman just 'fit' together, I don't need a Bible to tell me that" and "it goes against procreation" -- all very stereotypical justifications. No one among the homophobic human beings who were interviewed ever mentioned or acknowledged anything about love or understanding or genuine intimate connection between two gay men or two lesbians. The other thing that struck me from the interviews with homophobic human beings was that because they believe that being gay is wrong, it's "understandable" and "acceptable" and "OK" for a straight human being to "do whatever is necessary" when a gay human being expresses an attraction for him/her. An activist lesbian in NYC responded to this belief by noting that "if every girl could say that every time some unwanted advance was made to her by a guy, that she just had to KILL him, then I think that half of the male population would be decimated." Frankly, I *loved* the line from a straight woman in a NYC bar who noted that "I've had women hit on me, and actually - usually - no offense to you guys - it's usually a little classier and more elegant." The half-hour was filled with lots -- and the episodes preceding it were very good....even a lot of focus on gay human rights in public schools. For those interested, it will air again on MTV in the US on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 8:30am CDT. As always, check local listings Patti "Who I am is measured in every encounter between character and circumstance; the net total is my integrity." ****************************************************************** 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, 13 Nov 1998 23:05:47 From: Patti Fink Subject: *etheridge* SMEC: Birth Day of the Week My sister Eileen wrote to me, lovingly noting that Sunday's child is gay :) >Monday's child is fair of face, >Tuesday's child is full of grace, >Wednesday's child is full of woe, >Thursday's child has far to go, >Friday's child is loving and giving, >Saturday's child has to work for its living, >And the child that's born on the Sabbath day >Is fair and wise and good and gay.

I really like a lot of your posts, but appreciate this one on Matt Shepard so much I had to write and thank you for it. His death also struck me hard. I still choke up when I think they stole his shoes. That just seems so cruel. The violence scares me, but I also know that my silence will not save me. I'm going to join the campus gay and lesbian organization. At first I thought I might be too old, but then... I am attending college now for the first time in 18 years. I have lived here in Boise for 15 years. I am astounded at the level of homophobia, especially in young men, at the university here. It seems to be an acceptable thing to use the word gay as an insult, as in, "that's so gay." I think it is fairly obvious that I am a lesbian. But in my accounting class the other day when talking of taxes and someone asked about how it works when people live together, the teacher answered the question that they could probably file as married if they were living together and put out that they were going to get married. And I said...if they are heterosexual...and she said well yeh. Two boys behind me started to giggle and whisper, saying did you hear what she said, etc. Sheesh. Like it surprised them? I hope by my (trying to be) being visible and strong it may help boys like them feel less right...and maybe they'll think twice when they encounter a gay man, and consider instead that he may actually be a human being. I know there are a couple gay men in that accounting class even. Anyhoo, thanks for listening (and for speaking out). - -marcy - -- "Life is full of wonder, love is never wrong." -M.L.

This article is from the _Indiana University Home Pages_, a weekly paper for IU faculty & staff. It can be found (with a photo) at: http://www.iuinfo.indiana.edu/HomePages/111398/text/aronoff.htm - -Anne - ------------------------------ 'Smashing Pumpkins' drummer Kenny Aronoff creates soundtrack for new IU ads By Jeff Austin Never one to shrink from a new musical challenge, drummer Kenny Aronoff recently wrote and recorded the dynamic solo soundtrack to a new series of television commercials for Indiana University during a break from his touring duties with the Smashing Pumpkins. Widely recognized as one of contemporary music's finest drummers, Aronoff has provided the musical foundation for artists as divergent as John Fogerty, Neil Diamond, Travis Tritt, B.B. King, Celine Dion and many others -- all on top of spending the better part of 20 years as a member of John Mellencamp's band. Even with the Smashing Pumpkins tour schedule and the steady demand for his studio services, Aronoff (IU Bachelor of Music, 1976) was eager to donate his time and talent to his alma mater. "I enjoyed going to IU," Aronoff said. "I learned a lot about music, working hard, and achieving long- and short-term goals. I'm glad I could be involved with this ad campaign." The solo soundtrack by Aronoff is the perfect counterpoint to the energy and life of the university captured in the student portraits and hard hitting statistics that make the ads visually exciting. "I saw a rough version of the video and just used my intuition and objectivity to make the decision on what to play," Aronoff said. "I tried to put myself in the viewer's position. I was going for a feeling of excitement. People relate to rhythm and dance beats, so I tried to play a beat that was happening now but add my own energy and spirit to it." Aronoff's energy seems boundless these days. After the Pumpkins' Halloween gig with KISS in Los Angeles -- where he and the band walked out dressed as The Beatles -- he was back in the studio. "I just recorded a very exciting, powerful song with Billy Corgan and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) this week. I also did a song with Rod Stewart for a Robin Williams' movie. I have more Melissa Etheridge coming up and lots of other sessions all over the country." Aronoff explained that his drive and desire for professional growth were nurtured at IU and that the lessons he learned did more than hone his chops as a drummer. "George Gaber, my private instructor, was not only an amazing teacher of percussion, but he also taught me a lot about life situations," Aronoff said. "It's not just the course work. It's the work ethic, the responsibility to yourself and your life that will eventually affect others around you and therefore the world." Aronoff, in turn, has passed along those values to other students. He served as an associate professor of music from 1993 to 1997 and continues to teach master classes as his schedule allows. "It was an honor to be able to come back and teach at IU for a while, plus I really enjoy working with up and coming drummers."

And I don't know what you think I was talking about when I said friendly, but I can assure you my friends are not a bunch of cheap easy homosexuals. (And how does that make Mellisa fans look bad?) But most people are a lot more out going and FRIENDLY when they are drinking. When you say we should all get along, perhaps you should read what you wrote again. I was not trying to cause any conflict, I was merely stating how I felt about a particular post, which I thought was what mailing lists were all about. Sharing information and giving ones opinions on Mellisa and even life in general. I am very new to this list and it seems as though too many people on this list react sharply or get the wrong idea about other peoples opinions. Maybe there would be more posting if that wasn't the case? I did not think that posting ones *opinion* meant they were not getting along with others.

It's a thing of character not gender. Anyways, never did I say that people's opinion did not matter, if that was the case why would mine be any different?...All I said is let's get along, all of us, gay straight, bi, whatever. I am not causing you not to post or discuss by asking that, am I? I am an easygoing person, I can usually find something to laugh about, I am sure a lot of people would agree with me when I say why spend your life taking everything to heart...let things go. Oh yeah correct me if I am wrong, never once did I say anyone was a cheap homosexual...If i said that then someone please show me where... I am not one to judge, No one died and made me god. I know that I wouldn't say a thing like that. That's my five cents worth of opinion...I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings or insulted anyone, that was not my intention. Take care all and remember to laugh today, Monicca! ****************************************************************** 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, 16 Nov 1998 08:07:10 EST From: SilntLgacy@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* FINALLY SHIRTS ARE IN! Well folks, it's been a LONG time coming, but the shirts are IN!!!! I will be picking them up this week, and they will be in the mail by the weekend! My life has been turned upside down the past few weeks as my 7 year old son was picked to compete in a MAJOR modeling convention in L.A....and the preparation is rather overwhelming...( Deb can testify to this!) But again, I promise to get these out to you by the weekend at the very latest! I have gotten some inquiries from people that are new to the list inquiring about shirts. Sorry...the shirts were all preordered and I have no extras :( Thanks so much for your patience!! And watch your mailboxes next week!! Whhhheeewwww....this is a BIG load off my mind!

Since "T" has more opinions than she does correctly attributed postings....NOTE *I* posted the first half of the below comments, not Monica, and I don't appreciate her getting in trouble for what *I* said. Miss Vera, please read your posts better before you hit your send button.... I will also take the rest of my comments to "T" offline since we don't need to fill the list up with her bullmalarky either. But I am gonna suggest she ask Hotmail if they have a spellchecker...real fans know it's spelled M,E,L,I,S,S,A... (P.S. Sorry you got blamed for MY post.....hope you understand that I am taking full responsibility for what I said.) << What a lousy assumption Theresa........and it says so little of Melissa's fans. Why not just say we are a bunch of cheap, easy homosexuals. I think Shannon's concerns were valid and your comments inappropriate (at least Joyce knows how to handle herself like a true lady)........ I know that a lot of you will probably jump my bones,(literally speaking) after I ask why can't we just get along...all of us, joyce, Theresa, and whoever else. Who cares who invites heterosexual or homosexual friends to their party?...Come on guys it's my opinion that you can invite heterosexual people to your party and that doesn't make you straight or gay, it makes you less narrowminded. A party will be a party no matter what gay, straight, purple pink, blue, etc. Let's all get along and get a little excited about Julie and Melissa's baby coming.>>>> See you missed the point completely Monica. The reason I put the words no offense, is because I simple meant no offense at all. I have met many homophobics and they will *sometimes* react the same way. I was simple posting an observation. And I don't know what you think I was talking about when I said friendly, but I can assure you my friends are not a bunch of cheap easy homosexuals. (And how does that make Mellisa fans look bad?) But most people are a lot more out going and FRIENDLY when they are drinking. When you say we should all get along, perhaps you should read what you wrote again. I was not trying to cause any conflict, I was merely stating how I felt about a particular post, which I thought was what mailing lists were all about. Sharing information and giving ones opinions on Mellisa and even life in general. I am very new to this list and it seems as though too many people on this list react sharply or get the wrong idea about other peoples opinions. Maybe there would be more posting if that wasn't the case? I did not think that posting ones *opinion* meant they were not getting along with others.

Good morning, folks... Your mean ol' grouch of a moderatrix here to suggest that this discussion = over gay/straight friends and party lists be taken to private mail. It is rather obvious that it's a bit difficult for some folks to accept = differing opinions for what they are--opinions--and discuss their = differences in a rational manner. It's also obvious that some of these = same people can't offer opposing points of view w/o getting cranked over = the issue, so it's time to leave the topic and move on.

(SMLEC) Hi y'all! How's everyone doing out there? Good, I hope. I haven't posted in a really long time, but I thought I would come on here to cite a personal example of a successfully "integrated" party. The Fajita Fest, which I have attended for the last 3 years now, is a party that has hetero- as well as- homosexuals in attendance. And guess what? We all get along great! Cause everyone there has a common goal- to have fun, meet people, share experiences, anecdotes, opinions, etc. When I first went to this gathering I really didn't "know" a lot of the people there, but felt at home right away and now I consider some of the people I met to be my bestest friends EVER! And some of them are gay, and some of them are straight (oh the horror!) and some are even bisexual. So what???? We love each other, share common interests and are Melissa Maniacs to boot! What could be better? Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but I felt the need to post this morning. Congratulations to our newlyweds, Joyce & Ray Shanks!!!! (no relation to John) Soooo happy for you guys! Love and other stuff- Renee' (in Dallas, looking forward to seeing a certain Kiwibird very soon now!)

It's also *very* possible that the Aronoff interview is rather dated... it was more of a "feature story" than anything meant to be timely, I suspect. If anyone knows the schedule for some of the other gigs he mentioned, that would give us a clue. Or, maybe he's adding some additional tracks very late in the process... but I'm betting, now that I think of it, that the interview probably took place a while ago. - -Anne, who gets to see Patty Griffin *and* Janis Ian in December (yay!)

Online News Staff Nov 19 1998 7:55AM http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0%2C1%2C3930%2C00%2Ehtml Melissa Etheridge has rocked the cradle--again. The roots rocker and lover Julie Cypher welcomed the birth of their second child, a son, Wednesday in Los Angeles. The nine-pound, five-ounce baby, dubbed Beckett, was born Wednesday morning in Los Angeles. "Everybody is doing fine," the couple said, in a statement. As with their first kid, Cypher did the heavy lifting, or birthing, as the case may be. The couple's first child, daughter Baily Jean, was born February 10, 1997. Etheridge, 37, and Cypher, 34, have been a duo for about a decade. Etheridge is a two-time Grammy-winner. Her sixth album is said to be slated for a January debut. Hits include: "I Want to Come Over" and "Come to My Window." Cypher, the ex-wife of actor Lou Diamond Phillips, is a filmmaker who reportedly worked on the script for Etheridge's long-rumored (and delayed) Janis Joplin biopic. ******************************************************** Click into E!

You don't do that. Now this is the second time I have posted to this list and both times you have desensitized the issues. If your children approach you (on an everyday basis) referring to you as a "stupid bitch" or other derogatory names how would you feel?

According to Etheridge's label, Island Records, Beckett weighed in at 9 pounds, 5 ounces, and both he and Cypher are in good health while recovering. Etheridge and Cypher's firstborn came in February 1997, when Cypher delivered a baby girl named Bailey Jean. Etheridge, who backed out of plans to sing and star in a Janis Joplin bio-film, "Piece of My Heart," has kept a low profile since the release of her last album, 1995's "Your Little Secret," spending the time on more familial concerns. The singer-songwriter is tentatively shooting to have her next album out in early 1999. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher are mommies again. The couple welcomed their second child, a baby boy, on Wednesday. 9-pound, 5-ounce Beckett arrived at 10:27 a.m. in Los Angeles. He joins big sis Bailey Jean, who was born Feb. 10, 1997. Like last time, Cypher endured the labor pains, while Etheridge lent moral support. "Everybody is doing fine," the couple said in a statement. Rock star Etheridge (Yes I Am) and video and film director Cypher have been together for about 10 years. They met while Cypher was still married to actor Lou Diamond Phillips. Back in 1996, the two women sat down and talked to Newsweek about being gay parents, with Etheridge explaining, "I always wanted children in my life. I knew that with my career it would be difficult. I never thought because I was a lesbian it would be difficult... Added Cypher, "I also have always been more sure that I wanted to bear children where Melissa has been sure she wanted to have children." The couple never revealed how Bailey was conceived, but did shoot down rumors that their buddy, Brad Pitt, was the daddy. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Well, a big "CONGRATS" to Melissa and Julie on the birth of their second child. What a blessing indeed! Tiny hands to hold, my god what a gift! I would imagine that Missy Lou is wearing a grin that cannot be removed at this moment in her life and it shall remain beyond this universe. As for the name "Beckett" I feel it is a noble name that will be a force to be reckoned with one day ! In a state and town that revels in names like Billy Ray and Bobby Joe, Jerimiah, Joshua and Jacob, one would have to say "Beckett" is quite refreshing !!! Anyway take time today to listen to the little ones. This is a good day to be amazed at how much little hearts hear and feel. I offer you all a gift...... a moment to see the hearts of children who love unconditionally and know what really matters. Take a minute to look into those giving eyes and see what life is all about for just a second. If there are no children in your homes, simply look for they are there, on streets kicking cans,trading cards customizing bicycles, rolling down hills staining clothes and laughing uncontrollably worry free. Stop for a moment, simply enjoy. Much warmth, and magic, pooh Vaughn@oumail1.email.ohiou.edu ****************************************************************** 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, 19 Nov 1998 13:53:51 -0800 (PST) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: Re: *etheridge* delay in forthcoming album?

When Wynette sparkled, however, the emotions reflected in her voice were multi-faceted as diamonds. And the dozen songs here -- including a duet of Brian Wilson and Wynette herself singing the Beach Boys' "In My Room" to weepy steel guitars -- are gems. It's worth the price simply to hear Elton John open the CD with the line "Sometimes it's hard to be a woman." Then Trisha Yearwood gives " 'Til I Get It Right" a heart-melting turn. Rosanne Cash sticks to Tammy's blueprint for "D-I-V-O-R-C-E." The McGarrigles, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris team for "Golden Ring." Melissa Etheridge actually chills out to offer a sensitive version of the longing "Apartment #9." Really, it's good going all the way through. Especially when George Jones, who took Wynette to Heaven and Hell during their marriage, steps up to warble "Take Me to Your World." Every twist of his soulful voice sounds like a plea that echoes from the carnal plane into the spiritual. - -- Ted Drozdowski _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

According to Etheridge's label, Island Records, Beckett weighed in at 9 pounds, 5 ounces, and both he and Cypher are in good health while recovering. Etheridge and Cypher's firstborn came in February 1997, when Cypher delivered a baby girl named Bailey Jean. Etheridge, who backed out of plans to sing and star in a Janis Joplin bio-film, "Piece of My Heart," has kept a low profile since the release of her last album, 1995's "Your Little Secret," spending the time on more familial concerns. The singer-songwriter is tentatively shooting to have her next album out in early 1999. - -------------- ****************************************************************** 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, 19 Nov 1998 17:18:14 -0800 (PST) From: crystal greer Subject: *etheridge* Becket?

The sandpaper-voiced rocker stood by as Julie Cypher gave birth to Beckett, a 9-pound, 15-ounce boy, on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Etheridge and Cypher, who have been together for almost 10 years, already have a daughter, 21-month-old Bailey. No word on who Beckett's father is, although the couple denied rumors that pal Brad Pitt helped conceive Bailey. A Gayer 'Psycho' Director Gus Van Sant has promised that his remake of "Psycho" is faithful to Alfred Hitchcock's original. But maybe not completely. Anne Heche, who plays the Janet Leigh role, says that Van Sant has transformed her character's sister (Julianne Moore in the Vera Miles role) into a lesbian. Heche, as you might guess, couldn't be happier. "I just jumped up and down when I heard she was in it," Ellen DeGeneres' girlfriend tells Out magazine. Heche also reveals to Details magazine that not only did she shoot the famous shower murder completely nude, but she beckoned Van Sant and cinematographer Chris Doyle to join her in the bath for her closeup.

Now, my opinion on his name. I think Beckett is a cool name. Granted, it is unusual, bu this can only be a good thing in my opinion. And finally, Rhonnda asked if it was in the 20/20 interview that Melissa and Julie hinted on their combined surname...after watching my copy of it, I can say for sure that it was not this interview. I first heard that they we're thinking of Cypheridge as a common surname late in 1996 when I read a very short article in the Sydney Morning Herald which announced that Julie was pregnant with Bailey. Anyhow, that is my 2 cents and a bit more!

He claims he helped McLachlan write some of the songs on her debut album, Touch, and thus is entitled to a cut of the 600,000 albums sold. It's a drop in the bucket, but Sarah is defending herself with all the passion of a child custody case (it is, in a way). Just ask Michael Jackson about flies coming out of the woodwork suing for a piece of him. Melissa Etheridge (whose girlfriend just bore their second child) is especially careful, as former Edmontonian Bill Kole found out when he was physically retrained [sic] from giving her a tape of a song he thought she might like to record. If she took it and didn't record the song, the bodyguard calmly explained, Kole could later claim she stole his ideas. Word to the wise: When you're coming up with that catchy melody, don't let anybody be in the same room with you. - ---------------- ****************************************************************** 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, 23 Nov 1998 09:35:44 -0800 From: edgy@linkline.com (Allison Fraiberg) Subject: *etheridge* new heights of fame for Melissa Hi folks, Indeed, I have found ucontrovertible proof of Our Lady of Etheridge's historic fame.

It was a commercial for an upcoming movie called the "Sissy Duckling," which will feature none other than thee, Melissa Etheridge. The movie which will be on the cable network channel, HBO, is due out sometime next year. The story is supposed to be like the ugly duckling story, but instead of the duck being ugly, he is gay. Melissa Etheridge is said to be playing the part of the mom. Other cast members include: Harvey Fierstein (Mrs. Doubtfire), who will be playing the sissy duckling, and Sharon Stone.

I have never really understood this description of MLE. I think the acoustic guitar may have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. Personally, I would describe her music more as "heartland rock" or "roots rock"--like John Mellencamp and Matchbox 20. Wait--these guys use acoustic guitar a lot too. Geez (non-offensive term ), I don't know why people call her folk. Maybe it's that "sandpaper" voice of hers. :) I tried to get a friend of mine to go to the YIA concert a few years ago, and he said he didn't like country music. Go figure.

I was just wondering if this was something that I missed. I remember the list having some discussion, but I don't remember anything definite. Just as a thought, maybe they have never announced the new name as a way of protecting their privacy as a family, especially the kids. Since the two moms are keeping their professional names the same, it seems like a sensible thing to do.

If it is really to be a January '99 release, it's hard to imagine this happening with the anticipation and arrival of little Beckett. Melissa's attention is definately on family matters. It seems more likely that the new album will come out a little later in the year. This would also coincide with a summer tour. I had a thought on the Beloved title. Since Oprah's recent movie was called Beloved, an album with the same title could be mistaken for a soundtrack. Most of Melissa's albums have always had rather provocative titles. Beloved just doesn't fit. > With the birth of the new baby, I realized that I was never clear > on the last name that Julie and Melissa had chosen for Bailey > (and now Beckett).
