I sure am!!! I've been a ME fan for 10 years, have seen her almost that many times, have met her and talked to her. I am a bigger fan of her personally than I was of YLS. I think that album was lame. Sometimes people, no matter who they are, run out of things to say. I hope the new album is a lot different. By the way Joyce, I have yahoo and the links show up in pretty blue letters. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Can anyone say: It has been a too long time a comin' !!!!!!!! I for one am thirsty for anything coming from Our Lady Of Etheridge! She could sing the Barney song and I would want to hear it ! Well..... that is a little bit of a stretch !!! LOL! Anyway I am hoping for a CD with songs from the heart. Full of that infamous passion we all know so well. One would think that time has definitely given her the opportunity to bring forth some wonderful work. As I stand here in this desert thirsty... I can know in my heart that I will not be dissappointed. How could we be. It is Melissa ans she does nothing halfway. That is my .02 for what it is worth. Yes said the bear as she watched the red sun rising.... the wait will soon be over and just as surely as I can hear the dew sizzle in this morning the music shall surely sound the same. Just as the fog rises on the pond in the nearby meadow once again the stage shall be set for us to listen and feel with hearts on fire. And we will be bask in it... yes we will. Much warmth, 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: Tue, 01 Sep 1998 07:03:26 -0700 From: "David LaFountain" Subject: *etheridge* New Disc In the opinion of myself I do not think it matters when they decide to release the new disc. What does matter is that the new disc will be out in a short while and I think we can wait that long since we have waited so long already. In regard to the other CD's being released, that may have something to do with it but again who cares. We still have ME's other CD's to listen to and they can hold me over until the new one is released.

But I hope the great parodies continue. Speculating on the contents of the album from its title isn't a lot different than assuming that because it's MLE it's going to be wonderful. The only assumption that I make is that I'll buy it unheard. I'll reserve opinions on whether or not I like it until after hearing it.

YCSWID (i'm sure you're surprised ), TLSD, LMG, CPH, SF, DYN, MBD, ITOO > 3. What song has the best message, in your opinion? don't really listen to MLE for her message. i just wanna rock. :-) although i do relish her obsessive side. > 4. What Melissa song are you playing the most? not really playing one song over another...but when i am listening to her, i'm usually listening to a boot...something like "Live from the Bottom Line" or "Let's Get It On" or the 12/92 chicago show. > 5.

Your favorite tour performance? 12/17/96 cow palace show in SF. i've written about it enough... don't y'all know the story by heart by now? for sheer adrenaline rush, her 3 song set with big brother at the maritime hall in SF was a very close second. > 10.

Who did (or are you going to) take with you to see Melissa? probably some pal 'o mine... > 21. What song, not by Melissa, do you like the most now? Lucinda Williams' "Can't Let Go", Train's "Free", Grant Lee Buffalo's "Truly, Truly", and Shawn Mullins' "Lullaby" are recent ones that have caught my fancy. otherwise, i will drive around the block just to hear U2's "Bad" and "One Tree Hill" in their entirety. > 22. What was the last album you bought? Cowboy Junkies, "Miles from Our Home" (love it!) > 23. What's you favorite video other than Melissa's? wow, really nothing recent comes to mind. i do love just about any video by peter gabriel. i crack up every time i see U2's "discotheque", because my boys look so silly (especially larry!) dressed up as the village people. it's way too late to be at work...so i think i'll go home. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Pick yourselves up off the floor, y'all...I'm in the mood to *participate* in a *survey* (God...chills just shivered up me spine!). It's okay...I feel just fine...no need to call in the EMT's. Here goes...probably nothing earth-shattering in these revelations, but I'll do my part to encourage MLEC. These are pretty much knee-jerk responses, so I reserve the right to a) be corrected if need be ;) and b) to claim, "What was I thinking," when corrected (if need be). >1. What Melissa song has the best music? RS4/16, ITOO >2. What Melissa song has best lyrics? B&C, TTMA, WY >3. What song has the best message, in your opinion? NWTG, TTMA (Although if I'm in the mood for a "message", there are other artists besides MLE who fulfill that need for me.) >4. What Melissa song are you playing the most? I'm really not listening to MLE much right now, to be honest. The B&C CD is just about worn out, though, as is "Acoustic Fire". >5. What's, in your opinion, Melissa's best video? NWTG (AIH is close 2nd) >6. What's, in your opinion, her most beautiful video? NWTG >7. In which video does Melissa look the best? Hmmm...I guess I'll go for AIH, but I don't like those bangs (don't like bangs on anyone for that matter...*least* of all Xena!) >8. What is the most annoying scene in a Melissa video? CTMW & ITOO. Yes, I know the question was limited to a particular *scene*...I still choose CTMW and ITOO in their entirety. >9. Your favorite tour performance? YIA Indianpolis Murat show...May of '94? (Sorry...I suck at two things: spelling and remembering dates) **HINT** This would be the perfect opportunity to correct me, per my opening dialogue! **I'll add my own question: 9a. Your favorite concert moment? YIA tour, Indianapolis/Deer Creek/Vh-1 Show...during her audience set, a little girl sitting on her daddy's shoulders waved at MLE as she started ATWTH and MLE smiled and waved back. Sappy, but if you'd been there, you'd have thought it was sweet. Maybe. I did. >10. Who is the sexiest woman alive? You had to ask? You mean there are people in the world who remain unaware of my obsession? It's an on-going toss-up between Christine Baranski and Isabella Rosselini (and yes, I thought the "new and improved" Princess Diana would've made one hell of lipstick lesbian). Oh, yeah...keep your hands off both of them...they're *mine*! >11. Which DJ do you want to remix Melissa, but hasn't yet? Pardon me? I don't think I heard that right... >12. What is your favorite movie off all time? Casablanca, Fried Green Tomatoes >13. What is your favorite Melissa Quote: Don't really have one. >14. What country do you live in?

Which of Melissa's decisions in the past do you disagree with? No live album/video compilation (although I can't be 100% sure that this is her decision and not her management's directive); Posing for PETA for Julie w/o really understanding their over-all stance. Not that either of these two things has hurt her career in any way, mind you. >19. Have you decorated your home with Melissa? Nope. >20. Who did (or are you going to) take with you to see Melissa? Friends. >21. What song, not by Melissa, do you like the most now? "Looks Like We Made It" - Shania; "Thank You" - Natalie; "One Week" - - Bare Naked Ladies (who said I don't like variety?) >22. What was the last album you bought? Bare Naked Ladies' live compilation (sorry...can't remember the name of it because it appears as though I've managed to misplace the damn thing...) >23. What's you favorite video other than Melissa's? I *love* the video for "Thank You". My all-time favs, though, are "Need You Tonight" - INXS; "Sweet Dreams" - Eurythmics; "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" - U2 INXS is one of my fav bands and the last two are purely sentimental. And there you have it. Agree with it. Cherish it. Laugh at it. Wonder who/what/when/why the hell am I. Burn it. Do whatever suits you best. Just don't take it personally.

Pondering a bit this day as I drove past the lakes and small farm ponds on my morning ride this beautiful early fall morning watching as the fog rose and kissed the morning sky. I ponderered if there in the reflection of the water would I see lyrics floating with the fall leaves. Lyrics which spoke of love fluid and pure with no clouds to be seen in memory nor sediment stirred in the crystal clearness of the water. No ripples at all a liquid mirror of what is true. Laugh lines showing ...eyes sparkling with the sunlight dancing on water with a rythym which speaks of a love so "Beloved" that only those involved in the dance know of its content and depth. It is a pureness of light which cleanses the soul and brings us to our knees with joy , replenishes us for all we have and all we give away, shows us how very blessed we are. This is how I see the new album....but then I am just a bear of little brain. Much warmth, 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, 03 Sep 1998 06:12:17 PDT From: "Deb Alley" Subject: *etheridge* Fwd: etheridge-digest V2 #118 yes.........I realize I'm a couple days behind on this fun lil survey, but I have been one busy chef!

What Melissa song has the best music? Like the Way I Do, Late September Dogs, This War is Over, You and I Know 2. What Melissa song has best lyrics? Meet me in the back yeah, depends on your mood really...so many of them I like...if I had to choose I would say Testify, Silent Legacy and I will never be the same 3. What song has the best message, in your opinion? Silent Legacy but it really depends on your mood at the time...so many of them have great messages and some not so obvious... 4. What Melissa song are you playing the most? I'm not. Oppps what a confession....I'm mellowing out to Madonna's new ones at the moment... I've really enjoyed her covers of the old Motels song, Total Control and Van Morrison's Moondance... 5. What's, in your opinion, Melissa's best video? Come to my Window...I like Juliette Lewis in her psycho roles and MLE rocks in it too...better loolk in it than her Revlon Hair days when it looks as if she had 'never enough' body... 6. What's, in your opinion, her most beautiful video? beautiful? Somehow I don't find her videos beautiful...gutsy but not 'beautiful' as such...and based on that I don't rank this one...just for the sake of it 7. In which video does Melissa look the best? ooooo....that shimmy on the Jones Beach video...whaddaya reckon Ren? Have you worn out SueD's video yet? 8. What is the most annoying scene in a Melissa video? The Nowhere to go Vid...she's miming bits and pretending to play her guitar in the back seat I thought...ok, I might be wrong but it's been a while since I've seen it. I prefer to see an artist really perform, not just fool about for the cameras...what a dreamer I am, it probably never happens in music vid production... 9. Your favorite tour performance? I've only been lucky enough to catch one in Wellington...bummer I know but when it comes to MLE for us in kiwidom, there's NEVER ENOUGH. 10. Who is the sexiest woman alive? well of the star variety - Isabella Rosellini, Linda Fiorentino, Lucy Lawless, Uma Thurman, Michelle Pfeiffer....ahhhh, so many to choose from...thought I'd stick a Kiwi in the selection, just because...and well, in all that leather, ahhh, what a babe...even if she's from Auckland 11. Which DJ do you want to remix Melissa, but hasn't yet? Hell, have any? 12. What is your favorite movie off all time? Le Grand Bleu - The Big Blue ...without a doubt. 13.

What country do you live in? the remotest antipodean paradise....New Zealand, and we do have power, contrary to popular belief : ) 15. How often have you seen Melissa live? Uno...but she moves on tv...on the rare ocassion that she ever makes it on Kiwi tv...we only have 5 channels...yeah, and even then they're not very good ; ) 16. Does your family like Melissa? My sister came to the concert with Margaret (then Wellington MELister) and I Anyhow my sis thinks she rocks too. 17. Do your friends like Melissa? yep. 18. Which of Melissa's decisions in the past do you disagree with? Her decision to have her hair like it was on the Never Enough album and all the videos associated with it... That was the Barbie Melissa era I s'pose... 19. Have you decorated your home with Melissa? I'm a minimalist....which is just as well considering Liz's fixation with the gal... 20. Who did (or are you going to) take with you to see Melissa? If I'm in the States next time she tours it could well be on the cards that Liz and I could see her in concert together for once...that'd make a nice change 21. What song, not by Melissa, do you like the most now? That one by the Goo Goo Dolls, er, Iris...oh, and Torn by Natalie Imbruglia... 22. What was the last album you bought? Bob Dylan - biograph...well, since I have no longer got access to an LP player I can't play Masterpieces anymore and I needed something mellow but tuneful : ) Correct that....I bought Madonna's Ray of Light today...succumbed to the pressure...and crumbled... 23. What's you favorite video other than Melissa's? "You Place a Chill in my Heart" Eurythmics. ==================================== ****************************************************************** 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, 03 Sep 1998 07:35:33 -0700 From: Jenn Subject: Re: *etheridge* A fun survey okie........here goes: > 1.

(AP) - There's a big dilemma in doing a tribute album to the late country legend Tammy Wynette. Who among today's female singers should get the honor of taking on Wynette's theme song, "Stand by Your Man"? On the outstanding "Tammy Wynette Remembered," to be released Tuesday (Sept. 8), the question is sidestepped with style. Pop star Elton John is the choice, singing over a slick arrangement reminiscent of Elvis Presley's sound on hits like "Suspicious Minds." "Sometimes, it's hard to be a woman, givin' all your love to just one man," John sings to open the album on the Asylum Records label. Columbia Records, Wynette's longtime label, has a multi-artist collection dedicated to Wynette coming out Sept. 22. Called "Tribute to Tradition," it contains remakes of two Wynette hits, "Stand by Your Man" by the Dixie Chicks and "'Til I Can Make It on My Own" by Martina McBride. But it pales as a tribute to Wynette when compared with "Tammy Wynette Remembered." Most of "Tribute to Tradition" is country classics not connected to Wynette, and sung by men. The male singers included on "Tammy Wynette Remembered" - John, George Jones and Brian Wilson - are the exceptions. The main event is hearing female singers pay a debt to Wynette by reinvigorating 1960s and 1970s hits like "I Don't Want To Play House" and "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad." Wynette had a huge influence on female country singers, and her records also inspired future rock stars like John. She was 55 when she died at home in Nashville on April 6 from a blood clot to the lungs after years of health problems. Though Wynette hadn't had a country hit since the 1980s, the outpouring of grief from her fans and peers was immediate and huge. Her star-studded memorial service was carried live on CNN and tributes poured in from around the world. "I have been a fan, admirer - tried to be a clone years ago - in regards to Tammy," said Faith Hill, who sings Wynette's 1976 hit "'Til I Can Make It on My Own" on "Tammy Wynette Remembered." "Her music is timeless. It will speak to women and generations years past and years to come," Hill said. Wynette's background is the stuff of country music legend. She picked cotton as a child in Alabama and worked as a barmaid, waitress and hairdresser before her strong, emotional voice took her to country music stardom. Her first record, released in 1966, was "Apartment No. 9." "Stand by Your Man" came in 1968. "Tammy taught me how to sing," said Melissa Etheridge, who sings "Apartment No. 9" on "Tammy Wynette Remembered." "The voice you hear today on stage singing rock 'n' roll came from Tammy Wynette - 'Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad' and 'D.I.V.O.R.C.E' - it came from that ... . "After I heard her, I never sang softly ever again." Wynette helped glamorize country music's image in the 1970s when she dated actor Burt Reynolds. She also made news campaigning for Alabama Gov. George Wallace when he ran for president in 1972, and 20 years later when she told a magazine she had a circle of gay friends. Over the years, she recorded with Sting and Aaron Neville and scored her last hit, "Justified & Ancient," in 1992. It was a dance record made with the English band KLF. "Tammy was really country, but she made country more sophisticated," said Evelyn Shriver, Wynette's longtime friend and publicist who now runs Asylum's Nashville office. "She wasn't the buffoon woman. She was the woman that movie stars wanted to go out with. She just represented a very classy-lady aspect of country music that up to then really hadn't existed." Wynette's favorite song themes were dear to her audience: the trials and tribulations of being a wife and mother. Thirty years after feminists dismissed her, "Tammy Wynette Remembered" proves her songs have stood the test of time. Listen as a knowing Wynonna Judd offers advice to a rival on "Woman to Woman," or Rosanne Cash spells out "D.I.V.O.R.C.E." Also singing on "Tammy Wynette Remembered" are Trisha Yearwood, K.T. Oslin, Lorrie Morgan, Sara Evans and Emmylou Harris. Shriver and George Richey, Wynette's husband, compiled the album. George Jones, who was married to Wynette from 1968-74 and who was her frequent duet partner, transforms her "Take Me to Your World" to "Let Me Take You to My World." "It was really important to me that Jones liked it, because I knew if George liked it, Tammy would have liked it," Shriver said. "He said, 'I think you did a great job, but it's not Tammy singing.'" The final song on the album is Wynette singing a version of the Beach Boys' hit "In My Room" with vocals and production by Brian Wilson. It's the last song she recorded before her death. Even though the song was not recorded in a good key for Wynette, and despite her being ill at the time it was recorded in 1996, the performance is chilling, especially when her voice breaks into a slight yodel as she reaches for high notes at the end. "She said that she could relate to (Wilson's) pain and isolation," Shriver said. "In one sense, Tammy lived a very isolated life, with her illnesses and everything. She was home and she was in her room a lot. "Whenever I hear the lines, 'And now I'm alone and it's so dark' and all of that, I can barely deal with it.'' _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

What Melissa song has the best music? Ain't It Heavy... it's so strong. All American Girl is #2 >2. What Melissa song has best lyrics? Change , All American Girl >3. What song has the best message, in your opinion? Keep It precious , All American Girl >4. What Melissa song are you playing the most? Ai'n't It Heavy / The Letting Go / All American Girl >5. What's, in your opinion, Melissa's best video? CTMW >6. What's, in your opinion, her most beautiful video? NTG >7. In which video does Melissa look the best? don't know.... the video is more important then her looks in it >8. What is the most annoying scene in a Melissa video? The live performance black/white... ( I think All American Girl?) what song was it? I've forgotten :-( >9. Your favorite tour performance? Ahoy 10-10-1992, Holland definately ! >10. Who is the sexiest woman alive? difficult one......not Mel, sorry.... Sheryl Crow somewhere on top of the list >11. Which DJ do you want to remix Melissa, but hasn't yet? ? don't know any d j's >12. What is your favorite movie off all time? I did like "The Client" very much >13. What is your favorite Melissa Quote: Keep It Precious >14. What country do you live in? Holland , better known as The Netherlands >15. How often have you seen Melissa live? 3 times >16. Does your family like Melissa? My parents like it (don't turn it off if played) and my sis and br/in/law love it >17. Do your friends like Melissa? Most do because I made them listen to Mel a lot :-)) >18. Which of Melissa's decisions in the past do you disagree with? The PETA campaign! It was a careless action and these sorts of groups should be kept in closed rooms. The radical sub-groups are dangerous for society. PETA members are burning down companies in Holland and they are proud of it.... Someone who cooperates in such advertizing campains is not thinking! Yes, my love for her music hasn't got less because of it..... but this hurts. >19. Have you decorated your home with Melissa? Yes I have some items at the wall. Example: all tickets of the concerts I have seen (not only the Melissa ones). >20. Who did (or are you going to) take with you to see Melissa? My sister/br-in-law and next time I'lll go with dutch Melissa friends. >21. What song, not by Melissa, do you like the most now? John Hiatt's " Have a Little Faith" and Springsteen's "River" >22. What was the last album you bought? A dutch group called "The Scene" with albumname: "Blauw" (= blue) Last int. album was Billie Myers' "Growing Pains". >23. What's you favorite video other than Melissa's? Springsteen's "Dancing In The Dark" So it's clear that All American Girl is my favorite song. And in general I like the melissa rock-songs more than the ballads. Hopefully the new album will get a sort of "Never Enough-sound". Bye ! Marcel. ****************************************************************** 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 #127 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V2 #128 Date: September 9, 1998 2:58 AM etheridge-digest Wednesday, September 9 1998 Volume 02 : Number 128 *etheridge* Re: Covers & Duets and misc.

Good topic you all. I think Melissa would sound really good doing a duet with Kim Carnes or with Joan Jett!! As to songs I think "Never Been Rocked Enough" A Delbert McClinton song whom she has sung back up with and would sound good again with! That my .02 for what it's worth. At this point anything new by her would be a breathe of fresh air. Except maybe a cover of "Ben" can we say Ewwwwww God! Just a little humor. Small miracles happen when we believe. Suddenly we see the man in the moon and the vision of a new tomorrow where there are no color boundaries... no injustices nor harmful words shot into the hearts of small children who have the magic to believe and love unconditionally. For it is when we let all the matters of the day float into the heavens that we see what is essential. That spark of magic that touches the hearts of young and old... and when we listen we hear music for it is everywhere. In water as it slowly trickles over the rocks in the streams.. in the leaves as they float with glee to the soft earth below, if we stop and listen close enough we hear what our hearts truly need. So today take time to listen to your hearts.

She puts a lot of time and effort into her music and she wants people to feel and to understand her passion. It's an outlet of communication. I have fairly similar feelings about Tori Amos. I understand the passion in the keys. It's like she's making love to a piano. --It's an exciting feeling. That's the power in music-- This has gotten way deeper than I ever anticipated.

Hike High wrote: > When I play her music I can feel the power, be it piano or guitar. > She doesn't owe anyone anything, she does deserve our love, > respect, and passion. so, now you're saying that while MLE doesn't own us anything, *we* owe her?! i feel that i owe her absolutely zilch. as an artist, i feel that MLE just needs to put out the best music she can. what she feels is "her best music" is up to her and her alone; i can either like it or not. respect and love are qualities that must be earned. i find it impossible to "love" someone whom i don't even know personally. yes, i talked to her very briefly after the lapiduss show/revue in LA last year, but that doesn't mean that we're friends nor does it mean that i love her. i'm just a fan, no more, no less. i respect her for being out and proud, but that really has nothing to do with how i feel about her music. i feel passionately about much of her music and believe that she is one of the premiere live performers around, but OTOH, i don't feel that this means that i am accountable to her for anything. > She puts a lot of time and effort into her music and she wants > people to feel and to understand her passion. i'm constantly amazed by those fans who claim to know what MLE is thinking or wants us to feel, as if being a fan automatically means that they are privy to some "inside" information that the rest of us mere mortals are not. yes, MLE has stated in previous interviews that she wants her music to appeal to all sorts of people, but i can't recall her *ever* saying that she wants us to feel Emotion X after listening to her music. ====== now for some random MLE-related thoughts... while i was in LA this w/e, i was pleased to spot "Our Little Secret" at Midnight Special, an indie bookstore in santa monica. i didn't see nickson's book anywhere! of course, that's because i had stashed their supply in the religion/philosophy section! also, after back announcing SF this afternoon, annalisa, the KFOG dj, said [paraphrased], "and that was from melissa etheridge's self-titled debut which came out 10 years and a couple of hair styles ago". her hair style comment did make me chuckle...:-) and one non-MLE-related comment directed at a specific MLE lister... how 'bout that mark mcgwire?? ;-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

How do I know. I followed the big yellow school bus down the road this morning. As the beautiful little blonde child awaited to get on the big bus with her little lunchbox and bookbag I wondered..... When did Melissa start writing down those words that would one day be these gifts of song. Was it in class with that big black fat pencil that lasted through the whole first grade. Was it as she stared out the window of that big yellow bus that she knew she was different. When was it you suppose that words and thoughts and visions appeared. Do you think she was a curious child who just had to taste that white paste before she glued those red and yellow leaves on the construction paper. Did she sing then and be filled with warmth and laughter in the Christmas play. I think so. When do yo suppose she knew "I want this... this is what I want to do." While waiting for the bus watching her breath rise in the crisp fall air? I wonder. Perhaps not... perhaps all she saw was that big yellow bus and friends inside with lunches to trade and pencil boxes to explore. Then again perhaps just as in my grandmas bible I find a poem written from a child full of love there is a little Melissa poem pressed between the pages. Perhaps..... I Wonder. :) Much Warmth, 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, 10 Sep 1998 09:28:15 EDT From: INDGIR@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* weakness in me Hello all, TWIM is also on ME's unplugged and more.

You mean she put out a CD of that? > Is it available in chain stores or what? no, "Unplugged + More" is a bootleg. you might be able to find it in your local independent CD store, but it's *highly* unlikely you'll locate this at a chain store such as Tower, Virgin, or HMV. try a local record collector's show or scan the ads in a collector's magazine such as Goldmine. FYI, the version of TWIM on "Unplugged + More" is from the 1994 VH1 special entitled "Roots, Rock and Roll of Melissa Etheridge". this version of TWIM can be found on other boots, as well. for those who have questions about MLE bootlegs, check out deb's fabulous list at http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo/music.html (click on Artist Index, then E, then Melissa Etheridge, and then Melissa Etheridge Bootleg List). there's loads of cool information there (what was that about joyce was mentioning about a kickback? ). the only officially sanctioned CD release that contains MLE's cover of TWIM is "Ain't Nuthin' But a She Thing". this is still available at chain stores - try the "Various Artists" section of your local chain store or the used section of your favorite indie store. ======= hey, lucky chatters! any reports from last night's chat? i'm still waiting for baited breath for the transcript from MEIN... *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Hello folks! My name is Natalia, and I live in Brazil. I'm relatively new on "Melissa's world". I first listened to a song by her about a year ago, while watching the 'Boys on the side' movie, and I don't even have to mention that I just loved it. Then, I started searching for her albuns, that in Brazil are really hard to find. It took me a lot of money, a lot of time, but it was (no need to say) really worthed. Well, here I am, with my 5 albuns, 2 live cd's and a soundtrack, and I'm desperatly in need of gettin to know more about her. If anyone could help this poor little fan, that's got 'nowhere to go', I would be really, really, REALLY thankfull. Here it goes: - - How can I get hold of rhe following items: Teresa's tatoo movie (I heard that Melissa appears on it... is it true?) and (even most wanted) soundtrack. Any bootleg CD of her Mtv unplugged (and the unplugged video as well...) Her videoclips (the videos I already saw: Come to my window, nowhere to go, your little secret. 'Poor girl', you must be thinking... but M.E. is almost unknown here, so I feel really lucky for having the chance to watch those videos in Mtv) Any live concert or TV appearence (I just saw VH1 - duets) Any studio songs that doesn't appear in her albuns If anyone could help me find any of these items, thank you very,very much. I have also a few questions (oh. no!): - - Does anyone know when will she release a new album? - -When was her last live concert and where? When wil she tour again? - - What's the e-mail address of the responsable for the M.E.I.N? Well, I guess it's enough for this time. For the ones who were pacient to read this e-mail to this point, I'll let some answers that you are probably thinking of asking me (as the most of you are americans...) - - NO, I don't live in Rio, Sao Paulo or Amazonia... - - NO, in Brazil we don't speak spanish, we speak portuguese - - NO, there are no elefants running cross the city streets - - I'm 18 years old and single :) - - I'm tired of writing, so... ... this was my FAQ :) Lots of luv to everybody, Natalia Serrano ****************************************************************** 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, 10 Sep 1998 16:04:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* TT, new album, MLE's last concert, future tour, MEIN nati@vortex.ufrgs.br wrote: > - How can I get hold of rhe following items: > Teresa's tatoo movie (I heard that Melissa appears on it... is > it true?) and (even most wanted) soundtrack. yes, MLE is in "Teresa's Tattoo", but her appearance is a cameo. she doesn't speak; she just sits and smokes. i won't tell you what she's wearing. that'll just ruin the surprise. ;-) one of MLE's videos is shown on the TV during the opening scene. i think it's "2001", but since i'm remembering this off the top of my head, i'm probably wrong. there isn't a released TT soundtrack on CD, vinyl, or cassette. the only way to get MLE's music is to dub it off of the video (or laserdisc ). you should also be warned that TT isn't very good. it's quite campy and has an all-star cast, but that's about all it's got going for it. i recall someone posting that the video could be purchased fairly inexpensively (around $20), but that's probably only in NTSC format (US video format), which may not do you any good since you live in brazil. > - Does anyone know when will she release a new album? unless this was updated in last night's MEIN chat, the last report we heard is that "beloved" (her tentative album title) will be released in january 1999. no specific date in january as yet. > -When was her last live concert and where? MLE's last YLS concert was on december 22, 1996 in los angeles, california. she also performed at the valley verde music festival, along with jackson browne, keb mo', jimmy dale gilmore, and indigenous, in sedona, arizona on october 4, 1997 (almost a year ago!). otherwise, she's performed at various black tie events and awards' shows such as the Artist Rights' Foundation gala for tom cruise, the LA Shanti Awards, the TJ Martell Foundation gala, etc. according to the gossip reports, she's also performed at tom hanks' and rita wilson's 10th anniversary celebration and most recently at kathy najimy's wedding. > When wil she tour again? undoubtably. MLE mentioned she would tour in support of "beloved" in last month's chat. no dates announced yet. > - What's the e-mail address of the responsable for the M.E.I.N? there are quite a few addresses for MEIN. i think it depends on what your question/problem is. melissa@fanasylum.com - i think that this is if you want to send a message to MLE in care of MEIN. custserv@fanasylum.com - for questions "regarding your membership, merchandise, or the MEIN Preferred Concert Seating Program"; with a subject heading of MEIN. MEIN should get back to you within 48 hours unless you send your email on friday/saturday night (this info from their latest MEIN-mail). i think there are other email addresses, but perhaps someone from MEIN can pop up here and answer them better than i can. > - NO, in Brazil we don't speak spanish, we speak portuguese knew that one! > - NO, there are no elefants running cross the city streets too bad! one just ran by my office window! ;-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Melissa sings "Apartment #9". How good it was to hear something "new" by her! I've listened to it about 12 times and seem to have had a bit of remission in my Melissa deficiency! Since I don't recall ever having heard Tammy's version of this song, I have no basis to compare the 2. That being said, I found/find MLE's version to be appropriately (based on the lyrics, you know how those country ballads are...) sorrowful/lonely/ready for a good cry in her beer. And, based on my listening and reading the credits, it's MLE singing her own background vocals -- a little Melissa harmonizing with Melissa bonus! Other tracks which have garnered repeated listening by me include Elton John singing "Stand By Your Man" and Wynonna doing a wonderfully gravelly/bluesy version of "Woman to Woman". Since I've decided to delurk, guess I can add my pennies about duets...Bonnie Raitt would definitely be at the top of my list... Back to my lurking....

[note: before anyone writes me asking for copies of the LA show, please be aware that i do not have dubbing equipment. surely, someone else can provide copies gladly. now back to our regularly scheduled programming...:-)] when the spanish lyrics were posted, i recall some discussion on the list that they weren't a direct translation of NTG, but a rather sloppy transliteration (?) of the lyrics. since i know about 5 words in spanish , she could be singing gibberish for all i know! compared to the live rendition, the studio version on "Silencio = Muerte: Red Hot + Latin" is rather tepid, IMO. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Well as the week-end fast approaches I thought I would make a post regarding Melissa covering a Tammy Wynette song. I think it is a great idea to have a legend in her own right cover another legend in her own time. And I will be looking to buy this CD as it would seem to be water to an empty well. It has been wayyyyyy to long since we have heard anything new and I for one am very parched! Fall is calling from the valleys and hills. The colors slowly change with the blinking of an eye. Quiet streams seem to slowly trickle now with a sense of the chill in the air which will soon stop the flow and freeze the music until spring. The hummingbirds have left with the first call for change in the weather. As the squirrels busily scurry for nuts to tuck away in the nooks and crannies of a nearby tree I seem to understand what they are saying. Truly we can make it through until once again the music will be heard live. And surely we will be in awe of our legend in the making. Have a wonderful week-end everyone.

Needless to say I chose Melissa. The shirts (I got 2) are terrific!!! The ones I got were Hanes T's and the quality is wonderful. They wash beautifully. You can customize them with whatever picture you like. I chose to have my URL printed on the back. You don't even need to have the pic. You can upload it directly off the web! And since I have over 200 MLE pics on my site it's a good place to start. I've linked to the site with some instructions. BTW I need to mention that the shirts are 24.99 CND$ shipping included. They only can be order via the web with a credit card. And in case you're worried the system they use, Internet Secure, is real time and doesn't show the card # to the vendor (better than giving your card to the waitress to pay for dinner!)

I called the co. myself, SEVEAL times and they too said backordered....that purple bowling shirts arent routinely in their line of production and I guess we werent a "priority". I ran into this same problem in round 1 also.....so I finally pulled from them and found another co. that was able to make the same style, tho they said the purple color may be slightly different. Believe me folks, NOONE wants these packages out of my office more then I do, not to mention the long distance calls and hours spent just trying to get an answer! I am told the new co has ordered the fabric, and will begin production as soon as this week. I do plan on calling to veerify that tho and will keep you informed.

VARIOUS ARTISTS, "Remembering Tammy" (Asylum). Tammy Wynette didn't write her own songs, but she sang them with a strength that came straight from her heart. She also fashioned a recognizable persona as the long-suffering, wily wife - often beseiged, never defeated. Such a firm character gives focus to this new tribute album. It offers mainly country women of the '90s saluting the breakthrough Nashville star of the '60s and '70s. The exceptions to this approach disappoint. Elton John's take on "Stand By Your Man" deserves kudos for avoiding easy camp, but the production sounds soggy and his voice waterlogged. Likewise, Melissa Etheridge hasn't the vocal beauty of the other women, and the duet between Tammy and Brian Wilson on his "In My Room" at the end baffles. Thankfully, the other nine cuts ring true. Trisha Yearwood never sounded more gorgeously poised than on "Til I Get It Right," gracefully pronouncing the lovely line, "my door to love has opened out more times than in." Wynonna does a soulful and dangerous "Women to Woman," where female friends talk about the threat of sexier babes. But the scene-stealer comes in Faith Hill's take on the lovely "Til I Can Make It on My Own," in which she asks a lover who dumped her if he'll suffer her lack of pride in stride. Moments like these capture the honesty of Wynette, a lost voice of love gone wrong. Original Publication Date: 09/13/1998 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

By the time she tours next, she'll have gone from no baby yet to two....hmmm. That she's considering adding a keyboardist to the band for the album tour is great, IMO! I think it adds a lot of depth to many arrangements, especially her older stuff.

If you have not seen this woman perform take my advice and do so when the opportunity arises. She gave a great performance and should be in the group of next duets Melissa E. does, in my opinion they would sound great together! She is very personable and quite willing to please her fans. While standing in line I was saddened at the thought that no longer Melissa can be close to her fans in the same way. The girl in front of me had 2 CDs. layed one down to be signed and then started to leave to which Melissa Ferrick says I will sign that other one for you if you would like. I found it to be refreshing. Sighing my Melissa Etheridge baseball hat Ms. Ferrick acknowledged by saying: Nice hat. I found her to be quite sincere and appreciative. SO.... if you get the chance give her a shot I think this small woman with that huge voice will amaze you. Another performer I discovered was a Canandian singer by the name of Lucie Blue Trembulay.. and all I can say is nice very nice. If you get a chance check her out as well.

Melissa sings "Apartment #9". How good it was to hear something "new" by her! I've listened to it about 12 times and seem to have had a bit of remission in my Melissa deficiency! I went to Borders to listen to this CD yesterday, but I didn't buy it. Usually I will buy any new MLE song without listening to it, but this disc was full price, so I wanted to listen to some of the other songs on it first. Needless to say, I wasn't very impressed with the compilation as a whole. And I wasn't even that thrilled with MLE's song (which surprised and disappointed me). Why? Her voice sounds OK, and her delivery is, as always, heartfelt. The MLE/MLE harmonizing is something different and kinda cool. But I couldn't stand the musical "arrangement"--the approach the instrumental music took to this song. I wish MLE would have just done it with her guitar, and forget the rest of the band. So, like it or not, you may want to just listen to this CD before you buy it. Also, if you want a glimpse of how the new album *may* sound, listen to this song. MLE and John Shanks co-produced it. Sharon, who wishes MLE would just do some roots rock, "cock rock" (rhondda's term), or maybe even some old soul (James Brown, anyone?) ****************************************************************** 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, 14 Sep 1998 10:05:07 -0600 From: Marcy Subject: *etheridge* have we already done the Wynette thread?

I am also kind of curious about that. After all, we MElisters have different ideas about what "intense" means. Maybe in Melissa's mind (Note I said "maybe," implying that I realize I am being merely speculative. I can in no way know what MLE actually thinks. :) ) she believes that all of her past efforts have been intense. Maybe some of us agree. But there are definitely different kinds of intense, as you pointed out. "Progressive change in albums over time," hmmm. Let's just follow the album titles: Melissa Etheridge--Brave and Crazy--Never Enough--Yes I Am--Your Little Secret--...Beloved? I know they are just titles, but there seems to be quite a shift there at the end. Lullabies and ballads can be intense, especially to a parent. Just a thought to mentally chew on. >That she's considering adding a keyboardist to the band for the album tour is great, IMO! I think it adds a lot of depth to many arrangements, especially her older stuff. I've never seen her perform with a keyboardist in the band. Do you think she might play any of her piano songs? TLG?

Liz Smith - - snip - SOMETIMES A Great Notion: L.A.-based producer and author Cathy Griffin (she worked with the late Sydney Guilaroff on his memoirs last year), recently dropped by Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard and picked up the new Asylum disc, "Tammy Wynette Remembered." This is a collection of terrific artists, like Elton John, Melissa Etheridge, Wynonna, Roseanne Cash, Faith Hill, Emylou Harris, Trisha Yearwood, K.T. Oslin and Linda Rondstat, performing Tammy's greatest hits. (The centerpiece of this CD is Elton's spine-tingling version of Wynette's anthem, "Stand By Your Man.") Now Ms. Griffin wants to put together a TV special based on the the album. She says, "I'd like to use most of the stars who worked on the record - Elton John especially. And maybe a couple of people who weren't on the album, k.d. lang, for instance." And who would Griffin's dream co-producer be? "Gary Pudney. I thought what he did for Elizabeth Taylor's 65th birthday bash was extraordinary. He really gets the stars and knows his business." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

As a result, "Tammy Wynette Remembered", out this week, consists largely of the kind of artists Wynette influenced most: older performers (Wynette's ex-husband George Jones, Emmylou Harris, K.T. Oslin), second-generation country singers (Rosanne Cash, Lorrie Morgan) and gay rockers (Elton John, Melissa Etheridge). "This album may be different from a lot of tribute albums because there was a real connection between Tammy and those people," says Shriver, who worked for eight years as Wynette's publicist. "The people involved did loving interpretations of her songs, and they put their hearts and souls into it." John's rendition of "Stand by Your Man", Wynette's best-known song, is entertaining but slightly campy, while Etheridge's "Apartment #9" captures every bit of the desolation of Wynette's 1966 version without sounding anything like it. Morgan and Trisha Yearwood reflect Wynette's torchy side with their respective versions of "You and Me" and "'Til I Get It Right". Harris brings in Linda Ronstadt and Kate and Anna McGarrigle for "Golden Ring", Wynette's 1976 chart topper with George Jones. "It's the most bittersweet thing I've ever been a part of in my life," Wynonna Judd says of the project. "The queen is gone, and I feel like it's important to honor her memory." Judd recorded a stirring gospel/blues version of Wynette's 1974 hit "Woman to Woman". The album's final tune is also Wynette's last recording, a 1996 cover of the Beach Boys' "In My Room". Sounding frail and vulnerable on a song that's obviously not in her key, Wynette adds a degree of loneliness that Brian Wilson could only have imagined when he wrote the song in his early 20s. Shriver, who attended the recording sessions, says Wynette identified with the song's pain and isolation. "Tammy and Brian would be in the corner, just talking to each other," she says. "You could see this amazing feeling between them." Wynette's songs also are featured prominently on another forthcoming album, "Tribute to Tradition". Dedicated to Wynette's memory, that collection includes the Dixie Chicks remaking "Stand by Your Man" and Martina McBride singing "'Til I Can Make It on My Own". "Tammy Wynette Remembered" is the first album recorded during Shriver's tenure as Asylum's president, a position she assumed the day after Wynette's death April 6. Shriver also is organizing a tribute concert next month in Nashville and working with the Country Music Association to plan the segment of the CMA awards show during which Wynette will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

(AP) - A Melissa Etheridge fan was committed to a state mental hospital after trying to steal a plane to fly to Kansas City to be with the rock star. Heather Schleig, 32, who sometimes reportedly used the name Heather Etheridge, was found innocent by reason of insanity in August. "I don't know what else to do," Circuit Judge Nancy Donnellan said before committing Schleig on Monday. She said Schleig sometimes seems "normal and able to get by," but not all the time. Schleig tried to steal a plane on Dec. 26 at Venice Municipal Airport so she could go see her idol for the holidays, a prosecutor said. An airport security guard noticed the privately owned single-engine Cessna 175 sitting in rain with its landing and navigation lights on. The guard found Schleig in the pilot's seat, trying to start the aircraft, according to court records. The guard said Schleig told him she wanted to be with Etheridge, that her father owned the plane and that she had forgotten the keys. Etheridge won a 1995 Grammy for "Come to My Window." Her lover, Julie Cypher, is expecting her second child in November. Copyright 1998 Associated Press. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

They also talked about her being honored this week and about if being a parent has calmed her, about everyone's prejudices in reference to them having not one but coming on 2 baby's with both parents being of the same sex, and JC's answer is that it doesn't matter that both are of the same sex as long as both parents really love and take good care of the children. ME agreeded and then they talked about male involvement and they stated that they have lots of male friends that fill that void. Also they talked about telling the kids about them and they said that Bailey was a genius even at 2 and that they already have started because she can handle it. Just thought someone who missed it might want to know.

They talked about the prejudices in reference to the babies having parents of the same sex. Yes, it is true that it does not matter if the parents are the same sex as long as they are loved. But Melissa and Julie are famous so perhaps the children will not suffer the same taunts as other children from not so famous lesbian couples. This I know from a friends experience. Just would just like to say that I am new to Melissa Etheridge, heard a minute of her song online the other day and felt compelled to buy her c.d's and get to know more about her.

Remembered" is, by and large, a success. Stars of pop and country celebrate the legacy of the late country singer who died in April but left a large body of work ripe for revisiting. The set's happiest surprise comes from rocker Melissa Etheridge, who tackles Wynette's earliest hit, "Apartment 9." Etheridge, who had sunk into a morass of obsessive "Fatal Attraction"-type songs, is warm, expressive and convincing in country mode. K.T. Oslin's sassy cover of "Your Good Girl Is Gonna Go Bad" is a hoot, and Elton John's straight-faced read of "Stand by Your Man" would be, too, had Lyle Lovett not done it already. - - Howard Cohen, Knight Ridder _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Remembered. A painfully out-of-place Elton John joins a mainly superb cast of predominantly female country performers to put an annoying, adult contemporary pop slant on Wynette's signature song, Stand By Your Man. To make matters worse, it's the first song on the 12-track collection executive-produced by Wynette's husband George Richey. One rumour was that all of the women on the tribute album -- including Trisha Yearwood ('Til I Get It Right), Wynonna (Woman To Woman), Faith Hill ('Til I Can Make It On My Own), Lorrie Morgan (You And Me) and K.T. Oslin (Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad) -- were vying to sing the classic Wynette tune, so the producers ended up giving it to John. I guess it was supposed to be campy as John sings, "Sometimes it's hard to be a woman, givin' all your love to just one man." Instead, it's a waste of a great song on an otherwise valiant effort to remember Wynette, who died in April at the age of 55. You'd think Wynette -- the "First Lady Of Country Music" who sold 30 million albums worldwide, had 36 No. 1 hits and a career that spanned nearly 50 albums and four decades -- deserved a more fitting singer for what was her signature song. Granted, John, along with the rest of the female performers on the album, was a friend of Wynette and is pictured with her in the liner notes. "This album may be different from a lot of tribute albums because there was real connection between Tammy and those people," Asylum Records president Evelyn Shriver -- and Wynette's publicist for eight years -- told USA Today this week. In the liner notes Shriver also writes: "I know that Tammy would laugh at Elton's choice, as she cherished their relationship." So what do I know? As for the other male contributors, Wynette's ex-husband George Jones sings Take Me To Your World and former Beach Boy Brian Wilson joins Wynette on the final recording of her life -- a poignant 1996 cover of Wilson's In My Room. Also doing right by Wynette are Yearwood, Morgan and Hill, who manage to capture her world-weary sadness, and Wynonna, Melissa Etheridge (Apartment #9) and Emmylou Harris (with Linda Ronstadt and Kate and Anna McGariggle on Golden Ring), who make their respective Wynette songs their own. But it's Roseanne Cash (D-I-V-O-R-C-E)who sums it up best, with her quote inside the album: "The world will never be innocent enough again to produce another Tammy Wynette." Still to come are the Country Music Association awards next Wednesday night in Nashville (at 8 p.m. on CBS), during which Wynette will be inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame, and another album dedicated to Wynette's memory, Tribute To Tradition, which will have the Dixie Chicks' version of Stand By Your Man. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 13:20:56 PDT From: "Rhondda Ashby" Subject: *etheridge* E!

You're having a baby together and you don't know?" this is when MLE and JC said that they had a more important production (pointing to JC's tummy) in mind right now. OTOH, KN could have been asking both of them if they'd be doing a video together. however, he didn't ask if JC would be *in* the video. nit picky, i know...;-) *rhondda* ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 18:04:43 EDT From: CalifiaFn2@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* a site with pics ya'll may already have this, but if not: http://clever.net/lounge/Melissa/pictures.html marnie ****************************************************************** 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, 18 Sep 1998 18:05:32 -0400 From: "Molly" Subject: Re: *etheridge* GMA I actually missed my first class for the show. :) It was worth it though.

The HRC is a homosexual activist group that lobbies for homosexual "marriage," "gay" adoption, pro-homosexual programs in schools, and "transgender rights" (including affirming "transgender youth"). Last February, the organization sponsored a college youth conference for "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered" youth that featured a presentation by an actual prostitute, the showing of hard-core pornographic and sadomasochistic films, and a talk by a female-to-male transsexual activist. "Al Gore's scheduled acceptance of an honor from the Human Rights Campaign is further proof of his hypocrisy on the issue of 'family values.' Mr. Gore has been busy currying favor with the homosexual lobby -- a wealthy constituency for his expected presidential bid. At the same time, he continues to list membership in the Southern Baptist-affiliated Mt. Vernon Baptist Church (in Arlington, VA), whose pastor -- K. Bruce Miller -- believes the Bible that homosexual behavior is a sin. Like his boss, Gore wants to have it both ways. He will campaign as a 'pro-family' candidate even as he makes a mockery of traditional and biblical beliefs on homosexuality and abortion - -- beliefs that may be politically incorrect in the Democratic Party (and among some in the GOP), but which embody eternal truths," LaBarbera said. "Mr. Gore cannot have it both ways. By celebrating a group -- the Human Rights Campaign -- that smears faithful Christians and Americans of all faiths who oppose homosexuality as 'extremists,' he has sided with anti-religious bigotry. He has also turned his back on those who offer homosexual men and women the truth: that they can change, with God's help. But worse than that, the Vice President has turned his back on the God that made this country great, whom America abandons at its own peril. It is tragic that Al Gore has surrendered his moral authority to blind political ambition." Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, based outside Washington, D.C., is a group dedicated to opposing homosexual activism. It publishes the bimonthly Lambda Report on Homosexual Activism.

I tuned in to C-SPAN early this afternoon and caught the tail end of Gore's speech at the HRC Awards. I don't know if they showed MLE prior to this, but I doubt it. Does anyone know for sure? Speaking of Gore, I don't understand why people call him "wooden". I don't see it at all. As for his speech, I thought it was well-written and well-presented. He spoke about the achievements that gays and lesbians have made over the past few years and rightly thanked Bill Clinton for his role in all of that. And while I'm on *that* subject - I think what Clinton did with Monica was wrong, wrong, wrong, but I will not play into Republican hands and forget all the good that Clinton has done. Before you turn your back on Clinton, think back and remember how things were under Reagan/Bush.

Years ago, I thought Melissa would follow in the path of Neil Young, and it seems like she is. Neil was constantly writing, constantly recording, switching the members of his band (and changing the band's name at times), and still felt the same anger he did when he was younger (I think it was in 1989 when he said something like "still an angry young man," I don't know if he would still say that today, he might). I guess at 37, Melissa is still an "angry young woman." 37 isn't that old either :) Chuck drchuck@nais.com ----> ICQ:692904 ----> http://drchuck.simplenet.com ::: (Unofficial) Albright College Home Page ---- #Etheridge Regulars ::: Rockline Home Page ---------------------- Long Island Radio Dial ::: Dr. Demento Campaign for the New York/Tri State Area -------- :) ****************************************************************** 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, 20 Sep 1998 22:21:44 From: Patti Fink Subject: *etheridge* GMA Transcript 9/17/98 (long) I was transcribing something else from the same tape and went ahead and did the GMA interview as well. All typos are mine (except one...Kevin Newman did in fact lithp when he introduced MLE...) ...if I got anything wrong, please jump in with corrections ;) - ------------ [The segment opens with the NTG video at the point just before Julie gets into the convertible. Conversation begins while the video is rolling.] JC: There... KN: There you are! Singer/songwriter Melitha Etheridge, as always been said to sort of speak for America’s working class, good rough edge, lovely music...big fan of hers, musically. Her partner is Julie Cypher and the two of them are being claimed as the voice for another group: gay & lesbian families. The couple are raising a daughter of their own, and have been honored with the first ever National Family Civil Rights Award. That’s given by a group trying to advance the rights of gay and lesbian families, and...we are happy to have Melissa & Julie with us this morning. [camera moves to Melissa & Julie sitting on a couch, Kevin Newman sitting in a chair to their left -- Julie sitting between Melissa and Kevin] So...you’re being celebrated as “role models”...what do you think that means, Melissa? ME [Melissa Etheridge “Singer/Songwriter”]: Oh...it’s interesting because it’s not something you grow up, “Boy, I wanna be a role model” -- that’s...that’s not what it is at all. And you find yourself doing what you love and being yourself, and all of a sudden somebody....looks... KN: Does it make you nervous? ME: ....looks up to that. Oh yea, because I’m gonna make lots of mistakes, and...ya know, that’s...I’m only human...and it’s...it’s hard to think that people are looking at you that way. KN: Why do you think they are? What do you think it is about your arrangement that is being held up as a role model for other gay and lesbian couples? JC [Julie Cypher “Filmmaker”]: Boy....ya know, we just started thinking about this when this issue came up of being a “role model.” We’re just doing what we wanted to do, which is to have children....but I guess because we’re in the public eye and people see us doing that and not kowtowing to what might be another viewpoint of it, it makes a difference. KN: Was it a difficult decision to decide who would have the second child? ME: [laughing with JC] No, ya know, she did it *really* well the first time... KN: Voluntarily? I dunno.... ME: I was there in the, ya know, in the room and she did it so well [patting Julie’s shoulder], like, you go right ahead! JC: Yea, I guess I’m just good at it! So....so....we said alright...yea... ME: She’s good... KN: Yea? ME: ...I’ll sing the songs, you go ahead...[mouthing downward] wow... JC: Yea...yea, I’ll go again... KN: But you’ve always said you wanted to have maybe a couple of children...Melissa, do you think at some point you’ll want to have a child of your own? ME: Ya know, no. I’m a little bit older than her....I’m, ya know, getting up in that more difficult time and... like I said, she’s real healthy and she does it real well! KN: Now, you know very well, there are some people out there who are gonna say that this was wrong the first time, it’s wrong the second time. ME: Yea yea... KN: How are you preparing Bailey, your first child, to sort of answer that question...because she’s, what, two now...or almost two? JC: Almost two. ME: Nineteen months. KN: So, you know, another couple of years, ya know, they’re gonna know who’s baby she is, and there’s gonna be talk around her, if not from her, then, ya know, the families of other children that she’s gonna play with. How are you preparing her for that? ME: Well we talk about it all the time, we know it’s an interesting situation...and....you have two children and you know you can....you can think ahead of exactly what you’re gonna do...but these little kids, they’re so individual and they have such personalities, and where I might’ve thought “Well, when she’s six years old, maybe I’ll say this”....I think my daughter’s a genius *right now*... KN: Right... ME: I mean I really do! KN: ...they’re always geniuses.... JC: Well she is! ME: No...no, she is *really* a genius! KN: No, MY children are geniuses! ME: No, no.... KN: Right... JC: [leaning forward between them, hands up on both sides] They *both* are! [laughter from the offstage production crew] ME: OK... KN: OK... ME: So....so I can see myself very soon....I can see her comprehending and understanding....as long as you present it in a...in sort of a non-threatening way saying “This is the world, and there’s...there’s good and bad...and there’s...” JC: There’s differing viewpoints and there’s respect for people’s viewpoints. KN: Right, but you know as a parent you want your child to have the maximum amount of everything that they can possibly have, and I think that most of the research shows that having a strong male influence is a good thing in a family. How are you guys making that happen for Bailey and, I understand, for the son that you have inside you? JC: Yea, we have lots of friends who are men, and they have volunteered to be that male role model. And I think...actually, I believe it’s more important that children have, ya know, a set of parents that *love* them....what their gender is is secondary to the fact that they are *responsible* parents. KN: But are you going to do anything differently given the fact that you’re having a boy this time as opposed to a girl? JC: Noooo.... KN: Just the same? JC: ....not a thing. KN: OK, we’re gonna take a quick break here...talk a little bit more, and also talk about the music and how being a parent has influenced that as well....when GMA continues. [cut to NTG video; commercial break] [panning back in to CTMW] KN: Melissa Etheridge, her partner Julie Cypher back with us. Got one more invasive question... JC: Uh-hmm? KN: Is the donor the same as for your first child? JC: Yes it is! KN: And will the child know the donor if he wants to? JC: Yes...they will, eventually. KN: And is the donor involved in your first child’s life at this point? JC: Um...he’s...he’s met her maybe...three or four times. KN: That’s interesting... JC: Yea... KN: OK, let’s talk about the music. You have a new CD coming out, Melissa. Has being a parent changed the tone of that from what people expected before? ME: That’s the most asked question...um... KN: I’m glad I repeated it then... ME: Yea, ya know...maybe this’ll help make it less...um...yes, only because she has just influenced my life *in general* ...I’m not writing songs to my daughter or anything. But...becoming a parent makes you look at the world so... KN: Less angry? ME: Actually, more angry! I want the world to be perfect! Ya know....I...I don’t want it to be dangerous...it makes me mad. KN: Does it make you more fearful now? ME: More fearful, there’s more to lose....ya know, I’m that type of person, I just go right there, ya know....dark. [off-camera laughter] KN: That’s great. Just dark, more fearful? ME: [laughing] Just dark, yes. KN: [to JC] You working on the video for anything off the CD? ...because I know you’re a filmmaker... JC: Probably. ME: Probably...yea. JC: Probably, yea. But that’s next... KN: Probably? Don’t you guys know? I mean...you’re having a baby together! JC & ME: That’s next spring! JC: [pointing to her abdomen] Ya know we’ve got something *else* on our minds right now! ME: [pointing to Julie’s abdomen] This is the production we’re doing right now. KN: Yea well, alright. Well, Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher, thanks for being with us this morning. JC: Thank you. KN: ....appreciate it. GMA continues in just a moment.

This is an account of the events at the HRC dinner that pertain to Melissa and Julie. Before the dinner, a silent auction was held in a lobby area outside of the grand ballroom where the dinner was to be held. There were hundreds of items for auction. Among the items was a guitar autographed by Melissa saying "Speak True" and her name (which eventually went for $5000), a beautiful framed RIAA Multi-platinum award plaque/Melissa Etheridge albums award (went for around $2500), also an autographed copy of HRC Quarterly signed by Ellen and Betty DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell Show silk baseball jacket and autographed photo, and an Elton John Versace suit. They were also auctioning off other celebrity memorabilia, vacations, dinners, merchandise, home furnishings, artwork, and more. I didn't even bid on any items bc it took all my money just to attend the dinner! I did, however, get my picture taken holding the guitar that Melissa autographed! LOL After the auction, we all had to go through a security checkpoint/metal detector in order to enter the grand ballroom. There were 2200 people in attendance!!!! I had no idea that there would be that many people. We entered a ballroom, the size of which I had never seen before! It was enormous. There were more than a couple hundred tables, all beautifully set. There was a stage and podium in the middle, off to one side of the room. As Beth and I search for our table, we kept getting farther and farther away from the stage. My heart began to sank. We finally found our table...it was in the corner, in the back, almost behind the stage! I couldn't believe it! I thought, I'll never even get to see Melissa on stage from this view! Maybe I'd see her side or back from a very far distance. And it was true that my camera wasn't going to be much use from this distance. Elizabeth Birch, executive director of HRC spoke. She was under the impression that C-SPAN was covering the entire dinner and thanked them in her speech. She was a wonderful and empowering speaker. Tipper and Al Gore were introduced and the crowd came to their feet in a long standing ovation. Tipper spoke first. She wasn't even supposed to be there, but she felt so strongly about the organization that she attended AND spoke. Someone yelled out "TIPPER IN 2000!" The Al Gore spoke. He first made fun of himself. He was hysterical and had the whole audiance roaring with laughter. He then gave a very impassioned and supportive speech. He basically said that as long as he is in office he will always vote to protect the gay/lesbian agenda. I think he won over everyone in that room. After he spoke there was an intermission. I wanted so badly to just see Melissa so we went looking all over the ballroom, but to no avail. I didn't think she was even in there at that point. I felt so disappointed. We decided to walk out of the ballroom and down a hallway just to see if maybe she was outside the room. She wasn't. I had pretty much given up hope when Beth wispered intently in my ear, "she is right behind you, she is right behind you!" I turned, and as I did, Melissa and Julie passed right by me! I was like OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was right there in front of me! Melissa looked great. She was wearing a redish/maroon metallic sort of pant suit, and Julie looked absolutely beautiful in an all white pants suit. They walked by us very fast. Melissa was being very protective of Julie. I'm pretty sure that they also had a body guard. They diappeared into the backstage area. No time for a picture. I grabbed Beth and said "let's get back into the ballroom, she must be going there!" I became very determined. LOL Beth and I looked around the front tables, trying to squeeze past the wall to wall bodies in the room, but didn't see them. I again became discouraged. Then Beth overheard someone saying something about Melissa. (thank god for Beth ) Beth turned around and saw that we had just walked right past them and that they were sitting at their table already. Beth turned to me to tell me and I realized that I was standing right behind Julie who was sitting in her seat and Melissa was right next to her in her seat. I thought, "OMG, I can not believe that I am right next to them!" After a few moments of hesitiation, knowing that this was the chance of a lifetime, I gently tapped Julie on the shoulder. She turned to me, looked up, and smiled. I thought, "what in the world do I say to this woman??????????" But somehow I mustered up something about seeing her on GMA and how I thought she was great and good luck with the baby. She seemed so sweet and genuine. She made great eye contact and thanked me for what I said to her. I couldn't believe that we actually spoke. THEN I turned to Melissa...ok things start getting a little hazy in my memory at this point bc it was all like a dream LOL...I think I said her name or something and she turned to me and stood up so that I could talk to her...honest to God I barely remember what I said to her...I remember that she took my hand and held it, I'm not even sure why she did that...all I remember thinking was how surprised I was at how soft her hand was...I would have thought it would be much rougher, but it was so soft!! She also looked directly at me while I was talking, like she was really listening...I'm sure I said all of those things that you never want to say bc you sound too much like a fan LOL...I couldn't believe that we were actually talking to each other...I think my voice was shaking. At the end of our talk, I asked her if she would mind taking a picture with me and I asked Julie to be in it too. They were so sweet and said "sure." After Beth took the picture I walked back to our table in utter shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still cannot believe that I met her, we talked, and we took a picture! After a while, Melissa and Julie received their award. By this point in the evening, Beth and I had moved to a part of a room with a front view of the stage. Not close enough to get good pictures, but close enough to see very well. They were introduced and walked up onto the stage. Julie spoke first. She said that she never really speaks publicly, she leaves that to Melissa, but she did want to thank the HRC for the award. I don't remember what else she said, but she was sort of soft spoken, genuine, humble, and very nice. Then Melissa took the microphone and Julie stepped to the side, but stayed close to Melissa but a little behind her. Melissa confirmed that Julie doesn't speak in public much, "at home she does a lot, but not in public." It was very cute how she said that she speaks a lot at home. Melissa said that her and Julie's family were there at there table, and thanked them for coming. She said that while she thanks the HRC for the award, she is sort of puzzled by it. She feels that she and Julie were just doing what they wanted to do, have children, and they are receiving an award for it. But she does understand that they are forging the way publicly for lesbain/gay families. She hopes that in the future there will be no need for such an award bc gay families won't be anything extra-ordinary. It'll just be a normal part of society and accepted. Melissa's voice shook a little, and she acknowleged that she was nervous to speak, she said, "I have to admit I am a little nervous, if I were singing to you I'd be ok, but I am not used to speaking." Everyone laughed and Julie put a supportive hand on Julie put her hand on Melissa's shoulder as if to say, "Oh honey, its ok, you're doing fine." It was so endearing. Melissa endorsed Al Gore as the next President or the United States. She really believes in him. Melissa spoke of "coming out" to her parents who didn't really understand it but they seemed more concerned with her being a rock star than being gay. She also said that Julie's parents were more concerned that their daughter's partner is a rock star the fact that Julie was gay. Melissa also said, "all indications point to us having a boy this time. Any men out there who want to be role models for him, let us know, bc that seems to be a big concern of so many people." The audiance laughed. Melissa also said that when she met Julie, she met the woman of her dreams, the woman that had all the qualities that she ever wanted in a partner. She said that they had a lot of bridges to cross along the way and it wasn't easy, but they got to where they wanted to be. Also, Melissa said that she and Julie are from two different schools...Julie is from the "I fall in love with the soul theory" and Melissa is from the "I was born gay theory." Melissa also said that she didn't used to think that there were two kinds of people in this world...she felt that everyone was basically the same, but now she does believe that there are two kinds of people in the world..."those with children and those without." She said, "those people who are genuinely interested in how potty training is going, and those whose eyes just glaze right over at the mere mention of it." This also got a big laugh. Melissa ended her speech with a wonderful quote about ending hate and discrimination and promoting equality. Melissa and Julie exited the room to great applause. The entire night was so incredible, overwhelming, and empowering. It really makes me want to be politicaly active and really get involved. I learned that Hawaii is having a vote on election day to see if they are going to change there State Bill of Rights to take away rights! There is a huge backlash against gays and lesbians right now and it is really important that we all VOTE!!!!!!!!!!! WHEW!!!!!!!!!! Well, that is all I can remember of the events that took place that night. I hope you weren't too bored.

You are one lucky person. I think what truly makes Melissa and Julie "role models" for the lesbian/gay community is the fact that they are not really trying to make a statement about their lives as a family or as a lesbian couple for that matter. They are just living in love and living as any other couple should do that want to spend their lives together. Congrats to Melissa and Julie for just being your self.

Forgive me, as I'm really not a long-timer and don't follow on a regular basis unless there's MLE to be shared, but wouldn't what "Thumper's" father professed apply to what you've just done? Why is it OK to draw further attention to a potential argument instead of just letting it die down on it's own? Perhaps the people initially involved in the subject (my understanding is that you're referring to the "don't speak for everyone" post) have corresponded in private mail and have the situation ironed out (if there *was* a situation...I for one don't appreciate being spoken for by someone I don't know, but then it's a mailing list and I don't tend to take them very seriously). Perhaps the person to whom the response was directed took the response as constructive criticism and understands that some folks might be offended by her wording. Who knows? And forgive me again, but aren't there moderators on this list who can (and do) step in when things are out of hand? I could be mistaken--perhaps Jane is a new moderator and I've missed her "appointment" in one of the many messages I've deleted w/o reading. If this is the case, please accept my apology. If Jane is not a moderator or owner, then (IMO) it's a bit presumptuous for her to try to "keep the peace". > Thanks for the post I found it very interesting. Yes, the report was a nice account of a fan enjoying an evening of positive political energy. It's great that MLE and JC are so accomadating of their admirers and obviously supportive of each other. I agree with MLE that hopefully one day there won't be awards such as the one she and JC received--there shouldn't be a need for it.

How do you deal with that, do you think it's a negative thing or positive thing? A: I don't think it's necessarily either negative or positive. Me being referred to as "the other Melissa" began when Melissa Etheridge said, "Oh, you're the other Melissa," when I met her. I said that to a reporter and they titled the article "The Other Melissa" and, at the same time, I had done another interview and I told the same story to someone else, and they as well titled their article "The Other Melissa." Both magazines came out at the same time, so that's how it kind of started. I don't think people are saying the "other Melissa" musically. I think it's more the oddity that her first name is Melissa, my first name is Melissa, we both play guitar, we're both gay, we're both out...you know, whatever. That's the similarity and the oddity of it, but I don't know how odd it is. They're obviously not comparing me with Melissa Manchester. I think it's less of a musical comparison than a lifestyle comparison. I don't think it's meant with any malice. Q: I just wondered if that ever bothers you. A: No, not really, not at all. If I could sell as many records as she has and have the successful life that she's had, then that would be fine with me. There are a lot of other people that would me more offensive to be compared to, you know what I mean? (laughs) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

His videotaped testimony Monday drew an audience of 22-1/2 million people, according to Nielsen Research. - - snip - SYDNEY: When oh when will the public finally get to hear Monica Lewinsky's voice. Here with that and much more is "New York Daily News" columnist Mitchell Fink. So when? MITCHELL FINK, SHOWBIZ NEW YORK: - - snip - Melissa Etheridge didn't work out as Janis Joplin, neither did Courtney Love. As a result, Paramount will now conduct a nationwide search to find a young woman to play the late Texas blues singer in a movie based on her life. This project has been in development at Paramount for years. Somehow, I get the feeling it may remain in development for a lot longer. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I have a pen pal that is computer deprived and I am printing your message and sending it to her, if you don't mind. By the way, in this case you may speak for me. Bonnie, your response to Lisa's wonderful evening was just plain rude. Your name wasn't Elaine in a former life was it? I used to listen to Country music a lot, but got tired of the dumb lyrics and the pretty boy, one hit wonders. I have really enjoyed Tammy Wynette...Remembered, which helped me remember why I listened to Country music to begin with. It seems to be a real labor of love. I have listened to Melissa's Apt #9 probably 100 times. It may be just because it is something new by her, but I really like her they way she sings it. I had never heard this song before, but the lyrics sound like something Melissa could have written. I have always liked the songs that showcase her voice and this one does that. I am looking forward more and more to the new album and hope she includes some of the softer songs just like this one. pk ****************************************************************** 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 #143 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V2 #144 Date: September 25, 1998 3:00 AM etheridge-digest Friday, September 25 1998 Volume 02 : Number 144 *etheridge* Joplin movie/Bravo special/rude ["Bonnie Phillips" ] *etheridge* HRC dinner post [SHARingME2@aol.com] *etheridge* Melissa "Goodies"!!!!

In my comment about the article, I wasn't referring to any specific time-frame -- while MLE was involved or after -- and I agree with your interpretation of the wording from the article. Of course, this project has been around for years now in some form or another and has been rather amoeboid on many levels, especially in terms of who's doing what (or, perhaps more apropos here, who's *not* doing what ).

I also like the sound of Apt. #9 and hope it augers well for the sound of the new cd. Not that I want her to go Country - I just want to hear Melissa's voice and guitar clearly, even on the rockingest (sp?) songs. Of course, Apt. #9 could have been done the way it was just to fit in with the rest of the tribute cd. Still, I enjoyed hearing something sung by MLE with no Janis influence. Wait! Don't panic! I *love* Janis and I love what I fondly refer to as MLE's "screamers" (Your Little Secret and I Want to Come Over come to mind). I also like to hear other vocal styles from MLE. She has a complex and powerful voice, and it's fun to hear her try different singing styles and sounds. I also wonder occasionally if she'll put any "World Music"-type rhythms in the new cd, some African or Caribbean beat. And I hope she continues to put in a song or two that lets her sense of humor out to play (I Really Like You still makes me laugh, even after hearing it 999 times).

Today is the Day of Atonement...the Holiest of Holy days, in fact. It is a returning to "at onement" with God (or one's Higher Power or one's values), a time of genuine repentance for one's transgressions during the past year with the making of amends to those transgressed as a renewal with goodness and hope for the coming year...a return to "at onement" with God and our fellow human beings. I am not of the Jewish faith and have only a meager understanding of its many rich traditions, and so I can only observe the spirit of Yom Kippur in my own way. This season is quite complex, but as my friend noted, Rosh Hashanah brings a new year and Yom Kippur gives it a clean slate. ...here's a small warmth in the spirit of "at onement" today: - ------- Symptoms of Inner Peace Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world. Some signs and symptoms of inner peace: * A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences. * An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. * A loss of interest in judging other people. * A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others. * A loss of interest in conflict. * A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.) * Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation. * Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature. * An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. * An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it. WARNING!! If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk. -- Sasha Davis - ------- Shalom!

Cameras, lights, more than the usual number of same-sex couples, even for San Francisco. The fuss was for Ellen DeGeneres, who along with her mother, Betty, and her partner, actress Anne Heche, were on their way over from a benefit screening at the Kabuki Theatre. Burnham has never seen "Ellen," the now-canceled ABC sitcom that made history last year when its star announced that her character was gay. The announcement on the sitcom coincided with DeGeneres' announcement that she, too, was gay. "If I ran into her," Burnham said, "I wouldn't recognize her." But, he added, "I'm all for honesty. I don't think anyone should live in the closet." BEHIND THE COMING-OUT EPISODE That was also the feeling earlier at the Kabuki, among the audience members at the premiere screening of "The Real Ellen Story," a documentary that traces the yearlong effort to get the coming-out episode on the air. Even the presence of a security guard, who stood stiffly on stage while the women answered questions after the film, didn't alter the mood. It was a lovefest. The $50-a-person fund-raiser was held to fight a ballot measure in Hawaii that would ban same-sex marriages. Later, at Mecca, the ante was upped to $1,000 a plate. The Kabuki audience jumped to its feet when the three women came onstage. The audience clapped, booed and hissed at the appropriate moments during the hourlong film, which will be shown on the Bravo cable channel at 9 tonight. DeGeneres said she harbored no ill feelings toward ABC or Disney, which owns the network. "They allowed me to do it." But, she said, "I was a bad litmus test. People stopped watching the show. I lost my job. I've been through a dark, dark time. I won't lie and say I haven't been very depressed." SUPPORTIVE CROWD The audience made every effort to cheer her up; nearly everyone who came up to the microphone told DeGeneres how she had changed their lives. "I'm a police officer in Solano County," one woman began. "And I want to let you know that because -- of you, I have been able to let a lot of people know who I am." "You carry a gun, what can they do?" DeGeneres said. "You should try it," said the woman. "It works." DeGeneres said she had taken control of her career again. "I'll come back and prove they can't get rid of me," she said. She is working on an HBO special and two movies and writing material for a new stand-up act. "I haven't been onstage in six years. I'll probably start out spewing anger for an hour and a half, but basically I want to get back to being funny, which is all I've ever wanted to be." HECHE VS. HOLLYWOOD Heche's career appears to have survived the uproar. She said she left her longtime agent after the woman asked her not to attend the premiere of her movie "Volcano" with DeGeneres. "She said the homosexuals in Hollywood will hate me more than anybody. Where is the support in Hollywood? Let's change that." After more teary-eyed testimonials from the audience, the women were joined by singer Melissa Etheridge, whose partner, Julie Cypher, is about to give birth to their second child. That naturally brought up the question of children for Heche and DeGeneres. "We talk about it all the time," DeGeneres said. "But then we come home at 2 a.m. and say we don't want to give up our freedom." "Our kitten gets on our nerves," Heche said. "Yeah, you can't use a spray bottle on a baby," DeGeneres said. GAY PARENTS ARE COOL A boy about 10 stood up in the second row. "I just want you to know that if you ever want to adopt a child, you should do it, because I have gay parents and they are really cool." At that, he began to cry, and Heche jumped up to give him a hug and invite him onstage for more squeezes. Toward the end of the documentary, Heche declares that Ellen has changed the world. Even DeGeneres looks slightly embarrassed by the statement. If not the world, at least the estimated 42 million people who watched the coming-out episode last year heard the message. "All of a sudden, my 73-year-old grandmother in Ohio started talking about lesbians," said Kenwyn Derby, a bartender at Mecca. 1998 San Francisco Chronicle Page E1 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
