The Lakeshore Entertainment and Paramount Pictures project Piece of My Heart will instead star Clueless' Brittany Murphy. The Hollywood Reporter says Etheridge moved on after the project lagged. At one time, Etheridge's partner, Julie Cypher, was also attached to the project as a writer. It is unclear whether she will contribute at all to the upcoming project.

(AP) -- Friends say Billy Jack Gaither didn't deny being gay, but he also didn't flaunt his sexuality around his hometown, a quiet textile community in central Alabama. Police said Thursday that two men who claimed to be angry over a sexual advance by Gaither plotted his murder, beat the 39-year-old man to death with an ax handle and then burned his body on a pyre of old tires. ``He was a good person. He didn't deserve this,'' said Donna McKee, a waitress at a bar Gaither frequented on weekends. Steven Mullins, 25, and Charles Butler Jr., 21, were arrested this week and charged with murder. They were each held on $500,000 bail. The case reminded gay rights groups of the brutal slaying of Matthew Shepard last October in Wyoming. The college student died following a beating near Laramie that police said was motivated in part because he was gay. ``There are a lot of people still out there who believe gay and lesbian people are a threat,'' said Bruce Steele, editor of The Advocate, a news magazine for gays and lesbians. ``Until that is educated away, these sorts of things will continue to happen.'' Alabama is one of 19 states with hate-crime laws that don't cover offenses related to sexual orientation. The charges against Mullins and Butler carry a maximum penalty of life in prison. A grand jury could indict the men on charges punishable by death. Mullins and Butler, who apparently knew Gaither from going to the same bars, claimed the textile mill worker made a pass at them in early February, Deputy Al Bradley said. The two then plotted his murder, the deputy said. Mullins telephoned Gaither and the two picked up Butler at a nightclub where he was participating in a pool tournament, authorities said. The men went to a secluded boat ramp, where Gaither was beaten and thrown in the trunk of his own car. Gaither was taken to the banks of Peckerwood Creek, where many area churches used to hold baptisms. Bradley said two tires were set on fire with kerosene atop a concrete platform overlooking the slow-moving water. ``They took him out of the trunk, took an ax handle and beat him to death. Then they put the body on the fire,'' said Bradley. Gaither's burned-out car was found the next day on a country road. Butler's stepmother today said Butler had told family members he was involved in the killing. But Butler placed much of the blame on Mullins, saying he believed they were only going to beat up Gaither, Terry Butler said. Friends of Gaither's said they did not believe he would make a sexual advance on the men. ``He didn't ever put anybody in (an awkward) position,'' said Marian Hammonds, who owns the nightclub where Ms. McKee works. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance of Alabama learned of the Feb. 19 killing through a contact in the area and notified authorities, complying with a request to keep the slaying quiet so as not to interfere in the investigation. ``We wanted to make certain it was not one of those things that would be swept under the rug,'' said David White, the group's state coordinator. State Rep. Alvin Holmes has filed a bill that would extend Alabama's hate-crime laws to cover gays. Holmes said he was moved to file the bill by the Shepard slaying. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "sometimes if i listen real close, i can hear the dark side of the moon." -m.e. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

IMO, this certainly doesn't bode well for MLE's upcoming release. can anyone say further delays? in the same issue, there's an article entitled, "The Holy War on Gays" by Robert Dreyfuss. the subtitle of the article is, "The Christian Right is on a new mission: to drive homosexuality back into the closet. Inside the war rooms of evangelical intolerance". the article begins on p. 38 and is accompanied by several pictures of members of the Christian Right, phelps' minions holding their hateful signs at matthew shepard's funeral, one of the anti-gay ads, and shepard's accused killers. i haven't read the article yet, but i thought that there would be several on the list who'd appreciate the heads-up. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Italian women are wearing jeans and black shirts this Friday, March 12, in their 'march on Rome' in a national protest of the recent Italian appeals court decision overturning a rape conviction on the absurd premise that a woman wearing jeans can't be raped without her consent since jeans are 'impossible' to take off without the cooperation of the person wearing them. NOW and other feminist organizations are calling upon women everywhere to give Italian women their support by wearing jeans and a black shirt to work (or wherever you may be) this Friday in solidarity with their cause.

Thursday morning, March 10th 1994, I was 17. Enjoying my winter break week. The Montreal area received 20cm of snow but for me that doesn=92t matter, I=92m going to see my first big rock concert in my life. The place : The Montreal Forum, the artist : Melissa Etheridge. I had the chance to saw her the day before behind the Musique Plus Building after a interview. We were a dozen of people who watch the interview in the windows outside the station at -20C. I made a computer draw of the YIA logo in a wall with " Melissa Etheridge ", Montr=E9al, 9-10 mars 1994. I had the chance to say to her " Melissa, in my heart in music you=92re the only one " she said " oh that=92s sweet ", she sign me draw put her hand on my left arm and said " And it=92s very nice what you made ". she probably saw my draw early during breaks of the interview beacuse I put a copy of the draw in the window. But Iwas so impressed , and surprised that I said noting. I totally forgot to give to her a copy of the draw... She left in a purple mazda with her press assistants continuing her promotion in Montreal. My ticket was section 200, row E seat 12 in front of the stage, it=92s was the " theater " configuration who only 9000 people could see the show. The playlist was CTMW NS AAG YIA IIWT DYN SF AIH, Occasionally and YCSWID alone CPH SL RS4/16 ITOO 2001 MBCFM BMSW Maggie May In recall ITWID CTMA I remembered the atmosphere, for the first time I was with fans of MLE (at that time friends of mine ain=92t know who she is) . I was so happy to ear all the people sang AIH with MLE alone, the drum guitar on CPH, MLE says things in french, the long solo on RS, the guitars on 2000 etc. The concert was live in radio stations across North America She sang all the songs I wanted to eared. She also realize my fantasy to sang LTWID with the Montreal Canadiens jersey (the Habs won the Stanley cup one year ago). When the show was over. I was so happy that it took few days to get my feet on the ground J I said to my cousin who was with me at the concert : She=92s ready to do a " unplugged " special don=92t you think. I saw the MTV unplugged concert 2 weeks before my second MLE concert June 21t 1995. I saw MLE the last time March 22 1996 (Hi to all the Montreal Bash people J , she done the last rock concert in the history of the Montreal Forum. The Forum closed few days after and now they rebuild inside to make the biggest movie complex in North America with 30 screens, themes restaurants, multimedia and virtual reality arcades and stores. I worked now in front on the Forum, at the Montreal Children=92s Hospital . I can see the Forum through my office and yesterday I played in my office the bootleg of the show (who cost twice the price of my ticket !) and I remembered that incredible night We can see a picture of MLE in concert at the Forum at section 112 of the Molson Center, the new arena, MLE will probably do her Montreal concert in that building this summer. Even if she will make her best performance in career this summer in the Center, in my heart the concert of Marsh 10th 1994 was the greatest concert I=92ve never saw in my life.

I'm dying to see Missy again..... nope, i haven't heard this information anywhere (and that means absolutely squat ). when one of the DJs on my local radio station says something that i don't understand or need clarifying, i call them and ask what they're talking about. many radio stations have toll-free phone numbers that you can use to call up the on-air staff directly. it's worth checking out. wrote: > Is the new CD available for purchase yet, or will it be released in > the Spring? no, the new MLE-only CD is not available for purchase yet. MLE indicated in her post on the AOL board and her 02/09/99 chat that she hoped it would be released in June. personally, i'm not holding my breath that it will be released at that time due to the continuing turmoil surrounding her record label. > I wasn't carefully reading each post, and thought I saw that it was > re-scheduled for release sometime in the Spring. Then the other day, > I thought I saw a post from someone who said that she had ordered the > CD. some list folk ordered the "Lullabies with a Difference" CD, which includes a new, previously unreleased MLE song, "A Truthful Lullaby." this is the lullaby that was originally printed in the october 14, 1997 issue of "The Advocate." the "Lullabies" CD is a UK benefit CD, benefitting a cerebral palsy charity. currently, i haven't found it at any local CD store in the bay area, including the Virgin Megastore in San Francisco. however, it is available via a couple of internet online CD stores (thanks to Satsanga for this information): Audio Street: http://www.audiostreet.infront.co.uk/ or Frontstage: http://www.frontstage.com/. i believe that Audio Street is the cheaper of the 2. for those of us in the U.S., Harmony Ridge Music is selling the CD for $24.99 (+ shipping/handling). they accept visa, MC, personal check, and money orders. they also handle orders outside the U.S., but considering the other vendors which Satsanga has already provided, i'd say it's cheaper to order through Audio Street. Harmony Ridge is located at this URL: http://www.hrmusic.com/artists/jaart.html, and scroll down to the appropriate link to order it online. finally, if you want to hear ATL, Satsanga has a MP3 file of the song at her web site: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Set/2167/Lullaby.mp3. if you don't have a MP3 player, then head on over to T-Bird's site to hear the Real Audio version: http://come.to/mywindow. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

FWIW, the latest press release at http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/990310/ca_forces__1.html doesn't list her as an attendee though. * "EDtv" premiere at Universal Amphitheater on tuesday, march 16th: the latest movie (one of 3 this year so far) co-starring good pal, ellen degeneres...again, while the press release doesn't list her as attending, it's a possibility. the press release is at http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/990309/ca_edtv_be_1.html. * The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on monday, march 15 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City: one of her idols, bruce springsteen, will be inducted this year. while she's not inducting him (the latest rumor is that Bono will be doing the honors), she could be there, and maybe she'll even sit in with the all-star band. who knows? VH1 will be showing 2.5 hours of highlights from this year's induction ceremony on the following dates and times (there could be more later on): Wed 03/17/99: 9:00pm; 11:30pm Sat 03/20/99: 9:00pm Sun 03/21/99: 12:00pm (noon) * Vanity Fair's post-Oscar party on sunday, march 21: hey, MLE and JC attended last year's party, so why not make it 2 years in a row? anne's presenting this year, so she and ellen could commemorate their 2-year anniversary at the party again. the more, the merrier! i'll repeat my disclaimer at this time: without an official announcement, there are no guarantees that MLE'll be at any of these events. have fun playing the list version of "Where's Melissa?"! :-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

"The Legends Speak" list is on the left hand side of this page, where you can find separate links to RS' designated "legends." here's what MLE had to say about her favorite "Guitar Gods": http://www.rollingstone.com/sections/news/text/newsarticle.asp?afl=&NewsID=7119&navchoice=cage&LookUpString=225 Melissa Etheridge "Keith's riffs are open and easy, but we never forget 'em." Keith Richards was really my largest influence, because he plays with such a rhythm style. Especially in things like "Start Me Up." It's rhythm, it's all those notes, it's five strings. And they're real open and easy, but, man, we never forget 'em. When I was a teenager and started playing in front of people with just my guitar, I was influenced by Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez, this kind of fingering-guitar thing. I wanted a big rock band behind me, but I didn't have one. So I played the guitar like it was a band. That's like what Keith does. He drives it; they're not solos. I also thought that Kurt Cobain was just a great guitar player. Once again, it was the rhythmic issue. Because Nirvana were just a three- piece, he had to hold everything together, and he had such an amazing range. You know who doesn't get a lot of notice for being a great guitarist? Bruce Springsteen. He doesn't show it off. I've actually gotten to sit in his house and hear him play, and I was like, "Wow, he's really a good guitar player!" There's no over-the-topness. It's all in helping the song. Like, when you ask me about guitar solos, I'm more about what a guitar and a guitarist can do for the song. * * * * * after the article, there are separate links for "Keith Richards' greatest moments," "Joni Mitchell's greatest moments," "Joan Baez's greatest moments," "Nirvana's greatest moments," "Bruce Springsteen's greatest moments," and finally Melissa Etheridge's greatest moments." these links appear to send you to tunes.com and a Real Audio file of some sort. however, since i don't have a sound card, i can't tell what RS determined what MLE's greatest moments are. perhaps someone would like to listen to them and report back to the list? *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

First, there's a slightly different layout.. I got tired of the "two column" format :) Secondly, you may have noticed that I ported data over from the old EFnet site to this one. This was done mostly to encourage other folks to come visit the channel (if they see a long list of people they might want to talk to them), and partly to show that the channel has been around for a while, even though it hasn't been on DALnet for very long. I've tried to contact all the people who were on the EFnet site, but some of the old e-mail addresses resulted in bounced mail (for those folks I have changed their status to "inactive" until I figure out what to do next). If any of you can help me out with this, please visit http://drchuck.simplenet.com/melissa and let me know what's new, what's not new, etc. Thanks :) Chuck mailto:drchuck@nais.com ----> ICQ: 692904 ----> AOL IM: DrChuck68 http://drchuck.simplenet.com --> Rockline, Long Island Radio Dial, (Unofficial) Albright College Home Page, #Melissa_Etheridge on DALnet, Dr. Demento Campaign for the New York/Philadelphia Region ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/etheridge.html Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V3 #21 ****************************** From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V3 #22 Date: March 16, 1999 3:01 AM etheridge-digest Tuesday, March 16 1999 Volume 03 : Number 022 *etheridge* get well(NMLEC) [Damon M Glenn ] Re: *etheridge* MLE on Lifetime as part of Women's History Month ["DeAnn ] Re: *etheridge* MLE on Lifetime as part of Women's History Month [JLUCKY7] *etheridge* Re: etheridge-info-digest V2 #9 (fwd) [Annie Glotzbach Subject: *etheridge* get well(NMLEC) Hi everyone, Forgive me for posting this on the list.

Well, as I said (was it Friday? ), I sent another email to Lifetime to ask about new air dates, so maybe they'll confirm the above. Late August/early Sept. would be a major WAIT .

The 1960s icon, who died earlier this month from breast cancer, will be inducted alongside Sir Paul McCartney at a ceremony in New York on Monday. When the honour was announced in November, Ms Springfield had hoped to attend the ceremony herself, despite the illness she had battled for years. But she died at her home in Henley-on-Thames on 2 March at the age of 59. Hundreds of fans and friends crammed the streets of the Oxfordshire town for her funeral on Friday. She will be inducted by Sir Elton John, himself a member of the Hall of Fame. US singer Melissa Etheridge will sing one of the songs she made famous. Sir Elton - currently on tour in the US - said she was the first performer he had ever idolised. "Hers was the first fan club I belonged to. I had pictures of Dusty all over my walls, " he said. When he learnt of her death, Sir Elton sang one of Springfield's hits, I Only Want to Be With You, to an audience in Illinois as a tribute. - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Patti - -------------- http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusic/mar16_fame.html Tuesday, March 16, 1999 Springsteen, McCartney, Joel inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame By TED ANTHONY -- Associated Press NEW YORK -- The Piano Man's beard is more salt than pepper these days. The Boss is a half-century old. And the Beatle -- the impetuous, impossibly handsome Beatle who wanted to fill the world with silly love songs -- is a widower with three grown children. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame convened Monday night to honor its new inductees, and what it staged was a sweet, slightly melancholy blend of elegy and glory-days reminiscence. The angry young men and women, the ones who defined the rebellion, have grayed and grown. "Tonight," said Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, co-chairman of the Cleveland-based hall, "tonight we honor legends." [...snip...] Time has silenced some instruments. Four of the performers inducted Monday are dead -- including Del Shannon ("Runaway") in 1990, and Dusty Springfield ("Son of a Preacher Man," among many) just two weeks ago. Another, Curtis Mayfield, was too ill to attend. "I'm sure if you told any of 'em 25 years ago that there's gonna be a Hall of Fame and they're going to put on tuxedos and have a dinner, well... ," rocker Melissa Etheridge said after performing "Preacher Man." Then she trailed off, laughing in disbelief. There was the inevitable mutual admiration. Elton John told of joining a Dusty Springfield fan club as a boy. Neil Young swore the first song he ever played -- in a school cafeteria, no less -- was the Beatles' "Money (That's What I Want)." And Joel credited his R&B influences -- quite bluntly. "I know I've been referred to as derivative," he said. "I'm damn guilty ... If everyone who is derivative was excluded from this institution, there wouldn't be any white people here." Mavis Staples of The Staples Singers, the gospel group inducted Monday, agreed. "All of this music is related," she said. "We're first cousins with each other." And the jam session -- more than a half hour of improv. In the end, McCartney sang "Let It Be," and they all stood behind him, adding their voices and instruments to his: Lauryn Hill. Eric Clapton. Bonnie Raitt. Melissa Etheridge. The Staples. Wilson Pickett. Generations crossing, creating something with a bit of the old and a dash of the new -- the very definition of rock. Then McCartney smiled. "It's time to go home," he said. It was just past 12:30 a.m. When they were younger, the night would have been just beginning. But that was a lifetime ago.

You were enough to turn a gay boy straight, but not quite enough." then, they showed a shot of EJ talking backstage about how important Dusty was to him. they showed some footage of MLE singing "Son of a Preacher Man," standing at the mike without her guitar. she then removed the mike from its stand and strutted across the stage. her singing got more passionate as the song progressed. CBS: This Morning then cut into a backstage interview segment with MLE: "Someone asked me, 'You know, are you excited?' It's like, well, if she hadn't died, you might not have done a song for her. Tonight, it's kind of, it's kind of bittersweet, it's kind of, gee, I get to come and honor her, but unfortunately it's because she passed away." CBS: This Morning returned to more shots of MLE singing. i noticed that she was backed by Paul Shaffer's band from the Late Show. Paul and some other unknowns (other members of his band?) provided backup vocals, too. as MLE sang, pictures of Dusty flashed across the back drop behind the stage. * fashion report * well, you knew this part of my post was inevitable. MLE wore a short black leather jacket, a black leather/rubber top with a diamond pattern imprinted on it, black suede pants, and black boots. she also wore several bracelets on both wrists and a black choker necklace. it appeared that she was also wearing a black blouse under the leather/rubber top, because the tails of this apparent blouse were hanging over her backside, but i couldn't see any other part of the blouse in front. it was rather strange, if you ask me. she could have done without the long shirt hanging down, IMO. otherwise, she looked great! about 20 minutes later, CBS: This Morning did an expanded report on the HOF induction ceremony as a whole, which included shots of the inductees singing (Bruce, Billy, Paul). they ended their report with the all-star jam on inductee's Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready." MLE sang backup (and shared a mike) with Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler, Lauryn Hill, and another unknown woman. at one point, MLE raised her hands in exultation during the chorus of "Hallelujahs," and Bette high- fived her. LOL! i'm *positive* that there will be further reports today on the usual entertainment news shows: Entertainment Tonight, E! News Daily, Access Hollywood, CNN: Showbiz Today, etc. the only thing i'm not sure of is whether the reports will show MLE. further to my post from yesterday, KFOG's DJ john grappone called in this morning during my morning commute with a report after the HOF induction ceremony. he mentioned that MLE looked "stunning" (which led into a funny discussion among the DJs about who looked the worst...Little Steven won the prize ). grappone also said that MLE talked about being a parent, her new record, and the Janis movie. she stated that she was no longer involved in the movie, but wished them luck and hoped that they would do Janis justice. whew! getting excited about the VH1 broadcast...:-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

He was facetiously referring to the 1980s teen idol. Regarding Springfield, John said, "She was enough to turn a gay boy straight -- but not quite enough. She was a diva to the end." http://wallofsound.go.com/news/stories/rockhall031699.html But Melissa Etheridge - "scared" and "nervous" in her first public performance in some time - delivered a smoky rendition of the late Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man," while the Staple Singers shined on a medley of their two biggest hits, "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There." woo hoo! *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I saw her at The Happy Hour in Garden Grove, California. I know this is a shot in the dark, but Jo Moore, the owner of the Happy Hour is turning 69 (march 26). We are giving her a surprise birthday party on the 27th of March. The Secretaries have donated their time to play for the party, and a lot of others are helping out with other thing's. The only reason this is so important is that Jo has always supported all kinds of lesbian & gay programs. Jo has held bar parties for donations to help pay for funeral's and other hardships that were needed at the time. She has never asked for, or wanted recognition for all she has done. This is our way of saying Thank You. We know the bar will not be there much longer, Jo's health isn't what it used to be. So we are contacting people that have been to the bar in hopes that we can all get together for her birthday. If you could make it down there it would be great. Thank You for your time.

The Boss is a half-century old. And the Beatle -- the impetuous, impossibly handsome Beatle who wanted to fill the world with silly love songs -- is a widower with three grown children. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame convened Monday night to honor its new inductees, and what it staged was a sweet, slightly melancholy blend of elegy and glory-days reminiscence. The angry young men and women, the ones who defined the rebellion, have grayed and grown. ``Tonight,'' said Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, co-chairman of the Cleveland-based hall, ``tonight we honor legends.'' The rebels, now legends. How incongruous: They came in formal wear and ate off fine Waldorf-Astoria china, these architects of status-quo toppling who made lives out of fiddling and strumming and banging and swiveling and setting raw thoughts to music. Getting top billing: Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney, with nearly a century of music among them and strikingly diverse origins. McCartney came from the middle-class grit of Liverpool, England, Springsteen from the streets of New Jersey, Joel from the postwar suburbs of Long Island. ``I'm from Levittown,'' Joel said, marveling after Ray Charles inducted him. ``This is not supposed to happen to people like me.'' McCartney, in his first major appearance since his wife, Linda, died last year, lamented her absence. ``I would like my baby to share this with me,'' he said. He also threw in a plug: ``While we're here, you've got me, you've got John in this, how about George and Ringo? C'mon, guys.'' The Beatles were inducted as a group in 1988. Springsteen jammed with the E Street Band, a much-awaited precursor to an upcoming reunion tour. He stood back and smiled, a generation of memories in his eyes, as Clarence Clemons did his sax solo in ``Promised Land.'' ``Thank you for giving me access and entrance into your lives. I hope I've made a good companion,'' Springsteen said. U2's Bono, in a manic, brilliant tribute, covered just about everything -- from Springsteen managing to have ``no bad hair period, even in the 80s'' to his ``eyes that could see through America.'' ``He created an alternative mythology -- one where ordinary lives became extraordinary,'' Bono said. He said Springsteen, when he appeared in the 1970s, immediately set to ``saving music from the phonies, saving lyrics from the folkies, saving black leather jackets from the Fonz.'' Time has silenced some instruments. Four of the performers inducted Monday are dead -- including Del Shannon (``Runaway'') in 1990, and Dusty Springfield (``Son of a Preacher Man,'' among many) just two weeks ago. Another, Curtis Mayfield, was too ill to attend. ``I'm sure if you told any of 'em 25 years ago that there's gonna be a Hall of Fame and they're going to put on tuxedos and have a dinner, well... ,'' rocker Melissa Etheridge said after performing ``Preacher Man.'' Then she trailed off, laughing in disbelief. There was the inevitable mutual admiration. Elton John told of joining a Dusty Springfield fan club as a boy. Neil Young swore the first song he ever played - -- in a school cafeteria, no less -- was the Beatles' version of ``Money (That's What I Want).'' And Joel credited his R&B influences -- quite bluntly. ``I know I've been referred to as derivative,'' he said. ``I'm damn guilty. ... If everyone who is derivative was excluded from this institution, there wouldn't be any white people here.'' Mavis Staples of The Staples Singers, the gospel group inducted Monday, agreed. ``All of this music is related,'' she said. ``We're first cousins with each other.'' And the jam session -- more than a half hour of improv. In the end, McCartney sang ``Let It Be,'' and they all stood behind him, adding their voices and instruments to his: Lauryn Hill. Eric Clapton. Bonnie Raitt. Melissa Etheridge. The Staples. Wilson Pickett. Generations crossing, creating something with a bit of the old and a dash of the new -- the very definition of rock. Then McCartney smiled. ``It's time to go home,'' he said. It was just past 12:30 a.m. When they were younger, the night would have been just beginning. But that was a lifetime ago.

Oh dear. I was hoping it would look better than your description, but alas, I thought she looked dreadful... I can only hope that still pictures didn't do her justice. And isn't she getting a little old for that sort of heavy-duty wrist ornamentation? She looks like some of the kids I knew in high school, the ones that generally spent most of their time outside smoking. I just think she's trying too hard to look like a rocker... Maybe she's concerned about being taken less seriously after time off for mothering? Whatever it is, I sure wish she'd get back to boring old jeans one of these days... you'd think someone who has a self-confessed fashion impairment would just keep it simple... Don't flame me, it's an honest opinion, and I have as much right to mine as Rhondda does to hers: >it was rather strange, if you ask me. she could have done without >the long shirt hanging down, IMO. otherwise, she looked great!

He added, "I love you, Dusty - you're enough to turn a gay boy straight." Melissa Etheridge capped the speech with a hearty, if somewhat histrionic, performance of Springfield's hit Son of a Preacher Man. - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

It is *not* on Melissa; it's on Marilu Henner, according to the ad. No word yet on April 1. Also....I still note that on March 25 (next Thursday, which, as I recall, was also a date Lifetime once gave for airing Melissa's Portrait) there is a big gap at 10pm. Their online tv listings don't give anything for that time slot. Hmmmm. I believe Lifetime updates its Intimate Portrait page every weekend to list the new week's shows, so we should know on Sunday if Melissa's portrait will air next week or not. Apparently somebody at Lifetime thinks it will......another friend of mine got an email from them yesterday which insisted Melissa's Portrait will air on the 23rd.

I had to run to the vcr and switch it onto record again; luckily I only missed 1 commercial (lol). The last half hour is the jam session with virtually "everyone" on the stage - it's really crowded! MLE is in there, singing back-up with the women (on the side of the stage). There is one neat moment, at the pause in "Let It Be", where you can see her put her hand over her heart - I think she was really thrilled to be there, with all those great musicians. And, by the way, Bruce's performances lit up the place - you can really see that he's gearing up for the tour. I was also personally pleased to see and hear Bonnie Raitt playing there. I loved all the blues in the show.

BTW...where did Elton disappear to? I was in and out of the room a lot during the show and may have missed his exit, but why wasn't he on stage for the jam sessions at the end of the show? 1st of all...I have to say that MLE looked better than she sounded. That, of course, is strictly MHO. I thought she looked terrific (a heard 3/4 of the way across the country, originating in San Francisco!). I believe that whatever the shear skirt thingy was, it was possibily attached to the leather shell she was wearing under the leather jacket. Looked like skin-tight pants that flared slightly at the bottom. I really liked that look--much better than some other fashion statements she's made over the past several years. I loved her hair, but then I'm on a shorter hair kick these days and want *everyone* to cut their hair so I can see their faces. Granted, I'd pay good money to see her in a white t-shirt, faded 501's and scuffed black boots, but I thought she looked just fine last night. I would've lost most of the bracelets and that choker... it looked to me as though it *was* choking her. Her sound, OTOH, left a lot to be desired for me. Maybe it's just because I'm a Dusty fan to begin with and hearing someone else sing that particular song just didn't float my boat. But I just didn't think she did the song or herself much justice. There were a couple of times when she had to go down too low and just didn't project and I didn't care for the style she used. What makes the song for me is Dusty's hint of innocense when she sings it. MLE didn't have that, but she shouldn't have been trying to immitate Dusty and it was a GoodThing that she didn't try to. It was good, though, to see her perform again and I really am looking forward to the new album and ensuing tour. I thought Bonnie was terrific and someone mentioned earlier that they were really happy with all of the blues music performed...."I second that emotion." Blues music is what has been "talking" to me for about a year now, and it was great to see all of the representation on last night's show. Sir Paul's performance of Blue Suede Shoes was great...although it seems to me that the poor guy has aged tremendously over the past year. I guess having a broken heart will do that to you? I didn't see his induction (why is it that no one ever calls me on the phone unless I'm busy doing something else?), but I'll watch it all again Saturday night. I've completely given up on taping stuff because it's more of a hassle for me to remember to set the damn VCR, I get completely stressed if I forget and, in the event that I do remember, I never watch the tape again anyway. I've never been much of a Clapton fan, but I could've watched 2.5 hours of Eric last night. His first performance with D'Angelo was terrific, and his second performance had me wrapped around his little finger. Why haven't I given him more attention in the past? It's not like he's a new-comer. Maybe it's because my head and my CD rack are so jammed full of sh*t that I've never listened to that I didn't think I had time to devote to him. He'd never really struck a chord with me before, but I'm hooked on what I heard last night. I guess it just goes to show that you can never have a broad enough taste in music. I also have a new-found respect for Robbie Robertson. Yes I have several CDs (including his most recent--a must-have), but again, I guess I'd never given him the credit he deserves. A great example of another performer with such an eclectic range of style...there is surely something for everyone to like when you listen to him. I think there are just too many artists and not enough time to enjoy each and every single one of them. What's a girl to do about that? jen--off to figure out how to quit her job, shirk all of the other responsibilities in her life, and just listen to music all day. :) ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/etheridge.html Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 09:59:56 -0500 From: Deb Subject: Re: *etheridge* more on MLE at the HOF induction ceremony >From: JLUCKY7@aol.com ><< She looks like some of the > kids I knew in high school, the ones that generally spent most of their > time outside smoking. >> > >Hey!! *I* was among that crowd!

Hi all.. gonna delurk for a tad here.. Being the annoying perfectionist I am, I was going through my "Melissa" tapes last night trying to find some empty room to tape the HOF ceremonies. Not only did I discover that I missed the last 30 seconds of the second half of the Ellen's coming out episodes (the last 30 seconds of the second show--the part where Melissa makes Ellen sign all those forms and Laura Dern gets her toaster) but I didn't realize that Melissa's performance is within the first 15 minutes or so of the show so I was too late. Thank God it's airing again tonight at 8 p.m. Anyway, I thought Melissa looked wonderful. It was so exciting to see her onstage again. Her outfit was very 90s, I guess. I've seem similar fashions on Alanis Morrisette and Fiona Apple. It's kind of like a little wrap that goes on like a skirt but the top is hidden underneath the shirt. Then again, she could be wearing just about anything and I'd still love her. :) Her hair does look a bit better than it did on the Kathy Najimy Intimate Portrait as well. More flippy and what-not. Does anyone know how much coverage she gets later in the show? I was so mad that I missed her singing "Son of a Preacher Man" that I just flipped the channel and didn't go back to it. Thanks.

Rocker Melissa Etheridge, comic Ellen DeGeneres, recording artist RuPaul, and REM front man Michael Stipe are symbols of gay pride and part of a "Famous Gay People in History" display at North Farmington High School. Kristin Hoerner, an 18-year-old senior, said the hallway photos remind students of contributions from entertainers who are gay. She proudly notes that the bulletin board hasn't been vandalized, unlike a "rainbow mural" that has been defaced repeatedly after being put up by a student group at Farmington Harrison High School. "Our group is small, but we don't have any problems here," said Hoerner, president of the four-member Gay-Straight Alliance at North Farmington High. "I started this group because I thought there was a need for a support group. "It's easy to feel alone," she said. "I know there are other kids here who are gay." Deborah Clarke, the principal, said her school is supportive of issues important to its 1,258 students. The alliance is among roughly 50 clubs, organizations and athletic groups at the school. "It points to the guidance of staff and leadership of our students," said Clark, who noted students' parents are advised of activities open to their children. "We encourage diversity and participation in extracurricular activities," she said. "We also have a Bible club, but we don't teach religion in our school." Actually, the stars' photos nearly didn't go up on the wall. Administrators initially denied Hoerner's request because it was felt the photos would constitute "passive instruction" on sex education, which is not taught in Farmington Public Schools. But through Hoerner's efforts and backing from the American Civil Liberties Union, the school relented. In a Jan. 22 letter to the school, the ACLU argued that the photos reflected the subjects' sexual orientation, not sex instruction, and that a denial would be unconstitutional. Hoerner, who plays oboe in the student orchestra and is an assistant athletic trainer, stressed that her experience at the school has been very positive. She plans to pursue a physical therapy degree at Quinnipiac College in Connecticut. "This is a good school and everyone is supportive of everyone else -- this shows that," she said. The bulletin board normally displays news articles on events of interest to the alliance and other students. "Before this we had some articles up on Matthew Shepherd," said Hoerner, referring to the gay 21-year-old University of Wyoming student killed in October 1998. Hate crimes FBI statistics last year show more than 1,400 people around the country were victims of crimes because of their sexual orientation. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

WOW Rhondda, thanks for that blast from the past, I grew up in Farmington Hills many years ago! It appears at least some things have changed. I went to Harrison High school which was pretty laid-back in my day, I'm afraid it sounds as if that attitude is sadly lacking there these days. I certainly am glad to see that some progress towards tolerance is working its way through high schools. SueD - suddenly feeling kinda old.

Last week in my localnewspaper here in Holland, they were talking about a tribute cd with songs of Dusty Springfield. As I know some Indigo Girls fans are also reading this list I thought I would mention it: title: Forever Dusty: A Homage to an Icon. The names they mentioned in the article were Indigo Girls, Kate Pierson. They were talking of June as the date for releasing. I am sorry, they didn't mention Melissa, maybe she will join as well??? For as far is I understood the article right, it wasn't recorded yet. As I couldn't find anything about this cd on this list, I decided to write it down just in case somebody likes to know. That's all, I am happy for you all, that Melissa is back in TV-land. We in Holland and problably the rest of Europe/Australia etcetera have to wait much longer :-( Until the single and of course the new album. I am happy I can read this list, so I keep informed about how she was dressed (was it a skirt or still pants ;-)) and sounded during the HOF. Thanks!! The picture I downloaded wasn't soo bad. I was glad I could have seen something of the "new" Melissa. :-) I have to go, have a good time, Lot's of greetings from Pat the Dutch. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/etheridge.html Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 10:37:32 EST From: "Cher Jones" Subject: *etheridge* Re: etheridge-digest V3 #27 I can't wait until the new album comes out. One of my goals for the future is to see Melissa in concert. I was just wondering if anyone would like to share their favorite moments with Melissa. Anyone interested. My only contact with her is through her music. She's definatly my mood music. Sometimes I just load up the cd player with all of her cd's and listen to her all day while i'm working on something or other. I was trying to think of what my favorite album is but I can't seem to put my finger on it. I guess if I absolutly had to chose...I think it would be Brave and Crazy...cause that's definatly what I am. Unfortnatly one of my room mates left a scrath right over top of that song and now Ihave to skip it...I was very upset.

S: Paul Schafer should be shot. Well, maybe not shot (I wouldn't wish that on someone unless they'd irritated me over a long period of time or cut me off in rush hour traffic). He has to be the *most* annoying little man I've ever seen. He makes a good side-kick for Letterman, but he was just so damn annoying running around on the stage during the jam session...directing the likes of Clapton, Robertson, Springsteen, Joel, et al. I guess that if he was annoying the performers as much as he was annoying me, they'd have had him thrown in the dungeon beneath the orchestra pit. He just looked like such an impish little goon... Okay...enough. jen ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/etheridge.html Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 17:10:03 EST From: MJG333@aol.com Subject: *etheridge* RRHOF Did any nice person make copy of the special? ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/etheridge.html Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 17:23:36 From: Patti Fink Subject: *etheridge* RRHOF thoughts I'll chime in with my $0.02 worth on the RR HOF appearance.... I thought MLE looked great! The 'choker' was, I agree, too tight not to notice, but a 'look' nonetheless. When I first saw her, I noticed -- MHO, mind you -- that she was wearing a black sheer skirt (with a slit up the side) with spandex pants. I didn't think of it as pants with something over it, but a skirt with something under it. JMO. I, for one among many, wish for the 501 and t days again too, not unlike one of my very first posts to this list years ago. While I admittedly know nothing about Dusty Springfield (though I'm of the age where I probably should! ), I thought MLE's RRHOF performance was good, but not mesmerizing like some have been... But it was GOOD....so good to see her perform again!! As for her hair and it making her look 'older' -- older than....what? Older than she really *is*? Personally, I think she looks like a HOT 37 y/o woman :) Wasn't the conspicuous 'blur spot' interesting on Paul McCartney's daughter? (like we all don't know what was there from other news reports ) Funny how she was showcasing her bosom area, only to have VH-1 struggle to bring attention to it ;) Oh wait...just read Jenn's post: >Q: What did McCartney's daughter's t-shirt say? It said, "It's About F**king Time!" For me personally -- and I don't presume to know how other MElisters feel about this -- it was overthetop arrogant for Paul McCartney. The other recipients of RRHOF stature were so grateful and appreciative to be included among many greats, but Sir Paul spent a lot of his speaking time basically saying that he's pissed about how it's all gone down. And maybe he's right to be angry. He knows firsthand where the Beatles fit in music history and perhaps his anger stems from also knowing firsthand that he would be in a very different place if it had not been for the success of the Beatles as a group...and it pisses him off that the others aren't equally recognized. I loved it when Dusty Springfield's best friend and manager (family-esque fer sure IMHO, but also warm to see wearing leather at HER age) told Elton John that Dusty would be particularly happy to know that a true 'diva' inducted her :) JMHO....

Among this stuff is a number of items obtained in my many years as a serious MLE collector. First, I have one of the list bowling shirts from a couple of years ago. It is *very* purple, the key logo on the front pocket, the old list address on the back with a drawing of a guitar, it's XL, and never worn. I would be happy to give this shirt to the first person to request it AFTER 7pm EST tomorrow, 3/23. I want to make sure that digest people have a chance. Early entries will be deleted without response, and please don't send any after 3/23 because I am certain it will be gone by then. The winner will just have to send me an SASE to ship it back in. As many of you here know, I am a fan of MLE's from the B&C era, and have amassed quite a large collection of rarities. You also know that my affection for MLE's music has waned over the last few years, and while I'll keep the studio CDs around I don't really have any use for all the other stuff I've bought over the years. So I am disposing of 10+ years of MLE CDs (promos, bootlegs, radio interviews, singles with live tracks, etc), t-shirts, ball caps, and more on eBay . I'll be adding a few items per week. To keep track of what I'm selling (and avoid paging through the 100+ other listings of mostly newer stuff), you can bookmark this link: http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=spktrue&completed=0&sort=0&since=-1 You'll need to cut and past the pieces of that URL together... or you may go to and enter "spktrue" (my seller id) in the seller search box and bookmark the resulting page. Occasionally the eBay server is busy and searches produce an error... you can usually retry right away and it'll work. I'll post to the list when all items have been sold, so you can keep checking in until then. - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/etheridge.html Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 11:08:50 -0800 (PST) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* (SEDC) ATN: MLE at Springsteen concert http://www.addict.com/MNOTW/lofi/ NEWS FLASH Bruce Springsteen Delivers On 'Promise' Plays storied song for first time in 20 years at second of two tour warm-ups. ASBURY PARK, N.J. -- Bruce Springsteen played "The Promise," one of his most storied unreleased songs, live for the first time in more than 20 years Friday. Springsteen's solo version of the song -- which is finally to be released April 13 as a bonus track on the box-set sampler 18 Tracks -- was a highlight of the second of two benefit shows Springsteen and the E Street Band played here last week to warm up for their upcoming reunion tour. Roughly 3,000 fans saw Friday's show at Convention Hall, a grand but decaying old building in the seaside town whose rock clubs gave Springsteen his start in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and whose places and people he has chronicled in countless songs. Among those fans were singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge and her partner, Julie Cypher. "I've died and gone to heaven," Etheridge said. "I'm seeing Bruce Springsteen in Asbury Park." - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Completely sponsored by InStyle magazine, the event raised more than $300,000 for the charity. The gala, which was held at Pagani restaurant in West Hollywood, began with a sold-out benefit dinner and viewing of the Academy Awards telecast, for 170 guests. InStyle retained Merv Griffin Productions to transform the eatery into a site worthy of Hollywood's most exciting night of the year. In celebration of Elton's new album, "Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida," which will be released this week, guests entered the party through a specially- constructed 30-foot high pyramid. Dramatically lit from the inside, the pyramid also featured an obelisk of high density white light shooting out the top and into the sky. - - snip - Elton was joined at the dinner by kd lang...

DeYoung" Subject: *etheridge* Melissa chat OK, OK...I wasn't going to do this but... First off let me say one thing, I nearly sh*t a brick earlier this evening because I could not access the MEIN site and thus the chat room. I sent email filled with a string of invectives to Randy (which I am sure thrilled her no end). Anyway, after a harried call to my ISP provider, I finally got into the chat room. Sweatin' bullets takes on a whole new meaning. If I may recount a few things, I will take the liberty of cutting and pasting from a snippet I sent Rhondda a few moments ago. I used Joyce Luck's name in vain...quoting her as saying that enquiring minds want to know if Melissa would be touring with an opening act this time around. No decision yet but later in the chat she said she kind of liked being the only one (har har har) even if it was kind of selfish. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how we have to suffer . Anyway, what I gleaned amongst the rabble is as follows: As to the release of the CD, she said it would be out late summer, but thats all. Someone asked her about getting the cd released and she said something about working with a big faceless company now. Guess that is kind of telling, isn't it? Her guitar tech Trace showed up under an assumed identify. That was cool, fooled her completely. Supposedly she will be shooting the album cover for the new cd in NM some time soon. Just in case anyone is interested in stalking Hey, I asked about the "skirt thingy" on the HOF show. She asked back what we all thought about it during the opening free-for-all. She said it was an experiment. When someone said we preferred jeans & t-shirts, melissa said something like "you gals" always like the jeans & t-shirts. A girl can't have only jeans. She may thing so but I beg to differ. As to specific questions I asked: I asked if she thought there would be any shows with Bruuuce and she said there just might be. She ran into him or saw him in Asbury park and he made some mention of possibly joining her for a couple of shows. Go figure. I asked if the new cd was more acoustic or electric to which Melissa answered some of both (OK, OK...a weasle answer but ya never know). Um, what else, oh yeah, could she joing us at the Fajita Fest this summer. She said no, probably not but that it sounded good. I said it was a good party and she replied with I bet you know how to party. Hmmm, wonder if she has heard of those parties in Texarse. Wish I could remember more but it sure is swirling in my head.

If it hadn't been for a wedding, she wouldn't have gotten the part of cousin Rivkah in Showtime's The Devil's Arithmetic. And she certainly wouldn't have nabbed the plum assignment of playing '60s rock icon Janis Joplin in a Paramount movie biography that will go before cameras this summer. Murphy, 21, best known for her role as Tai in the film version of Clueless, went to a friend's wedding last year, where another guest was director Donna Deitch, who was about to begin filming Devil. Murphy told Deitch she had just worked with Devil's Kirsten Dunst on the upcoming film Drop Dead Gorgeous and what a good time they had working together. "Three days later, I was told to pack my bags for Lithuania," where Devil was mostly filmed, Murphy says. In another wedding, Murphy sang the old Gershwin standard Our Love is Here to Stay. The casting director for the long-in-development Joplin movie (singer Melissa Etheridge was attached to the project at one point) was there, too, and she quickly set up Murphy to meet with producers. Murphy got the gig, which she calls the "biggest thrill" of her career. - - snip - For now, she's spending a lot of time listening to Joplin tapes. "I've always been a fan," says the actress, born many years after Joplin died. "Just getting to be her for nine hours in a screen test was more of a thrill than I could ever have imagined. And for them to have told me I had the part . . . that was just way too much." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Etheridge said, "I am deeply honored to be a part of this important telling of our community's history and contributions." After Stonewall is scheduled to air nationally on PBS stations throughout the U.S. on June 23, 1999 at 9:00pm EDT, according to the documentary producer, John Scagliotti. Etheridge's narration chronicles the growth and empowerment of the gay and lesbian community following the historic 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, which represent a pivotal moment in the struggle for visibility and equal rights for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people. "Having Melissa give the voice of gay and lesbian history makes a very resonant statement to all viewers about the importance of our story," said John Scagliotti, After Stonewall's creator and producer. "We are equally proud she has agreed to share her talents with us in this personal and memorable way." As with its popular predecessor Before Stonewall, After Stonewall includes archival and never-released footage from the gay and lesbian community, including personal videos and 8mm home movies, as well as exclusive interviews conducted by Scagliotti with many of the principals. After Stonewall explores many facets of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities, with domestic and international footage, including glimpses of last year's Gay Games in Amsterdam. "People must be educated about the profound effect and change gays and lesbians have had on the shaping of the 20th century," said Scagliotti. "These people and their stories prompted our country to question its own fundamental values with regards to family, work, religion and relationships." Significant underwriting funds for After Stonewall were made available through grants from Subaru of America, Inc., the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Additional funding has been provided by the Soros Documentary Fund, the Gill Foundation, the H. Van Ameringen Foundation, the Joseph and Sally Handleman Charitable Foundation, and many individual contributions.

I've snipped a lot, but as always am posting the link to the full article if anyone's interested. Seems that it's a Word macro virus. Fringe "Melissa" trivia fer sure... ;) (not to be confused with Melissa fringe trivia ) Patti - --------------- http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990328/17/tech-internet-virus 'Melissa' Virus Hits Internet, May Cause Havoc Monday By Dick Satran (March 28) SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A virus that spreads a list of pornography sites via e-mail hit computers over the weekend and threatened havoc Monday as workers return to offices and begin opening messages sent over the Internet. The virus, called "Melissa," comes in the form of a document that lists pornography sites on the World Wide Web. Computer experts said the virus was aimed at widely used Microsoft Windows-based e-mail address book software, Outlook and Outlook Express, and it can send up to 50 additional versions of the e-mail to other users, threatening a widespread infection of computer systems. That could create a flood of unwanted e-mails around the Internet as the program perpetuates itself using pre-programmed "macros," software embedded in the Windows operating system that sets off complex computer functions with one command. [snip] "Melissa is widely reported and spreading quickly via mass e-mail, a function of the viral infection," said Network Associates based in Santa Clara, Calif. [snip] The only damage the virus causes is that it replicates itself and creates a flood of e-mail, though it apparently does not hurt the computer itself, experts said. The real danger is that the virus will overwhelm the server computers that handle computer messaging systems, which could lead to system shutdowns as each e-mail multiplies itself 50 times. Already, a wave of the e-mails has been sent out and awaits office workers Monday morning. "It's not doing malicious things or removing files or anything like that," Allman said. "I've heard claims that it has been doing more but I haven't seen any substantial verification of that. It's really more of a wake-up call, that shows us how you could take a malicious virulent virus and reproduce it all over the place very quickly." Computer experts warned users to be wary of documents sent from any senders asking them to open up a file for Microsoft Word. That file, in turn, asks for a prompt asking users whether they want to initiate a "macro," and requires users to approve its use. Those checkoffs make it relatively easy to avoid the problem. Microsoft itself has simply warned users to "be careful about what runs on their machine," the New York Times reported. Carnegie Mellon said, "our analysis indicates that human action (in the form of a user opening an infected Word document) is required for this virus to activate." The virus can be identified, Network Associates said, because it will read "Important Message From Application.UserName." The body of the text reads "Here is that document you asked for ... don't show anyone else" and contains a list of pornographic Web sites. Melissa creates the following entry in the registry: HKEYCURRENTUSER/Software/Microsoft/Office/"Melissa?" Network Security said that to avoid the risk of contracting the Melissa virus, "it is recommended that network administrators and users upgrade their anti-virus software to include detection and cleaning for W97M/Melissa." [snip] "I suspect we'll see a day or two of extremely high e-mail loads and then it will just die out, so in some sense this virus is not that critical but it's one what demonstrates what could happen if a truly malicious virus were released," Sendmail's Allman said. "The ability to spread something so broadly is scary." - --------------- ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/etheridge.html Official list web site: http://www.esosoft.com/etheridge/ NOTE THE NEW URL -- PLEASE UPDATE ANY LINKS ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V3 #36 ****************************** From: owner-etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V3 #37 etheridge-digest Tuesday, March 30 1999 Volume 03 : Number 037 *etheridge* (SMLEC) AP: Celebrities Use Fame To Push Causes [Rhondda Ash] *etheridge* Choice words (NMEC) ["Susan L.

Barbara Sinatra, Frank Sinatra's widow, calls on friends to raise millions of dollars annually for her children's center, Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John do the same for AIDS research and Nancy Reagan, whose husband suffers from Alzheimer's disease, promotes its study. Hollywood's younger stars have taken up newer, more diverse causes, too: Ted Danson's passion to stem ocean pollution, for instance, and Kim Basinger's vilification of animal research. Their attention can prove key to the success of a cause. "There is so much value in celebrity attention, even more than the money they give," said Michael Levine, author of "Selling Goodness," a book on how charities and nonprofit groups can attract attention. "They have an incredible, staggering influence on the public." The Entertainment Industry Foundation, Hollywood's key philanthropy, is the clearinghouse for 40,000 industry workers who contribute to 230 organizations. It will distribute more than $14.5 million this year for cancer and AIDS research, child welfare and environmental causes, among others. That figure is up from $10 million last year. It has seen a change in giving, too, branching out from AIDS research, long one of the community's favorite causes. "Social, health and welfare issues change and so do the interests of celebrated individuals in our industry," said foundation President Lisa Paulsen. The stars, as well as entertainment industry movers and shakers, managers and publicists, get daily calls from charities seeking help. "A lot of giving is done with anonymity," Ms. Paulsen said. "If you are a major star giving $1 million to a charity it puts you on the giving radar map and the calls start coming." Now, there's what Levine calls "the nuance cause." The clearest example is Jay and Mavis Leno's campaign to call attention to the Taliban's restrictions on 11 1/2 million Afghan women. "You've got to bring things to light. People will do the right thing for the most part if given a chance," Leno has said. His wife is on the board of the Feminist Majority, which is leading a campaign in the United States to denounce oppression by the Taliban militia. The group controls about 90 percent of the Central Asian country, where it has imposed its strict interpretation of Islam that forces women to wear the veil and bars girls from attending school. "Mavis is focusing on a move toward the nuance cause, and she's doing a good job," Levine said. Mrs. Leno agrees there seems to be a shift in Hollywood activism. And there's been no trouble getting Hollywood's support. "It was instantly galvanizing to me and it has proven to be the same way to everyone I've told," Mrs. Leno said. The Lenos donated $100,000 to the Feminist Majority's Campaign To Stop Gender Apartheid and Mrs. Leno chairs the fund-raising event Monday at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood. Some of the guests include Kathy Bates, Natalie Cole, Claire Danes, Geena Davis, Delta Burke, Sally Field, Laura Dern, Melissa Etheridge, Daryl Hannah, Salma Hayek, Cybill Shepherd, Lily Tomlin and Alfre Woodard. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sorry!!! - -----Original Message----- From: DeAnn Sanders To: Etheridge@esosoft.com Date: Tuesday, March 30, 1999 8:14 AM Subject: MLE at anti-Taliban benefit Hi all, coming out of lurkdom to give a report on Melissa at the benefit last night. First off, it was a zoo!! There were a million people there and protesters and police and it was just overwhelming!! Anyway, Gayle (my partner) and I got there around 7pm and did the whole mix and mingle thing while trying to keep from spilling your drink or food or doing anything else to embarrass yourself... So people are bumping in to everyone and trying to watch the press area for any celebs, but it was not hard to tell when "someone" came in because about a million flash bulbs went off and the press went nuts. There were way to many people there to name them all, but some we met were: Fran Dresher, Halle Berry, Kathy Bates, Markie Post and Laura Dern. We couldn't see everybody and we didn't see MLE or Julie at all before we went into the Theater. But all the big entertainment shows (E!, Entertainment Tonight, Access) were there, so watch tonight. Anyway, one funny thing happened in the lobby, Gayle was trying to find a place to go out an smoke and was getting pissed at being pushed and shoved and all so she just bulldozed her way out a side door and nearly knocked over this woman. Gayle apologized and the woman was cool, after she walked away I told Gayle " That was Sarah MacLaughlin (I cannot spell her name - sorry) you almost killed." She said "Cool". Strange. Ok, into the theater for the show. OMG, so many famous people, I was trying not to stare, but it was hard. The program was very moving and I could tell the speakers and performers were touched by the plight of these women in Afghanistan. Melissa was up about half way through the show. It was just her and the Ovation. She looked great, stripped multi-color top, black pants, black boots, black leather jacket, not too much jewelry, hair looked pretty good. She introduced herself then said she was sitting listening to all of the speakers and thinking about how lucky she was just to live in a country where she could walk her dogs with her partner in the morning and they could take there daughter to her favorite restaurant. She said that some people didn't like it and that was OK, because it was the freedom that was important. Anyway, then she said "Tonight I would like to Testify" and she sang.... Testify. Very beautiful. She changed the "he" in Testify to "she" I guess to make it more fitting as a tribute to all of these women who are fighting for freedom in Afghanistan. That was it for her, she left the stage and the show went on. Afterwards I did not catch a glimpse of her again. But I was in the bathroom with Alfre Woodard... so there ya go. :-) Watch for the coverage...

Attending the widely publicized public show of support for Afghan women were actors, musicians, activists and producers, including Marlo Thomas, Linda Carter, Morgan Fairchild, Sidney Poitier, Lionel Richie, Melissa Etheridge, Jennifer Holliday, Geena Davis, Dyan Cannon and her daughter Jennifer Grant, and Naomi, Ashley and Wynonna Judd. "In Afghanistan today, 11 and a half million women and girls are prisoners in their own homes under a system of 'gender apartheid,' which began two years ago when Taliban seized control of the Afghanistan government," said Kathy Spillar, spokeswoman for the Feminist Majority Foundation, which sponsored the event. "Women are not allowed to work, attend school ... and the windows of their homes are painted black so they cannot see out. They cannot leave their homes unless escorted by a close male relative and shrouded in the head-to-toe burqua, with only a narrow mesh opening through which to see. They literally can't see to walk and are getting hit by cars," Spillar said. Two years ago, Afghan women moved about freely, working as nurses, teachers, doctors and as civil servants in the government, Spillar said. But under the fundamentalist Muslim Taliban, they now risk being flogged publicly or beaten to death if they so much as let a bare arm show in public, or walk with anyone other than a husband or adult son, she said. Women without male relatives to support them have been left destitute. Some are so depressed they are committing suicide, Spillar said. The program, held in Hollywood for maximum media exposure, was written, directed and produced by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, "Murphy Brown" producer and close friend of President Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. The effort seeks to raise money for a continued media campaign, and to fund refugee camps set up to provide women escapees with food and basic health care, organizers said. "Right here, right now, on this very spot, on this very night, we pledge that we will never again look the other way when women or girls are being abused in the name of religion, culture, political expediency or corporate profit anywhere in this world," said Alfre Woodard in a speech prepared for delivery with "X-Files" actress Gillian Anderson. "But tonight," Woodard said, "Through the magic of the human heart and a little crackling electricity in the air waves comes one of the first glimmers of light into the darkness -- the news that America cares! American women care! And the women who are gathered here this evening want to say to you, the women of Afghanistan: 'Mahba Shumah Hahsteem.' (We are with you.)" _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

YES, she may appear with Bruce later this year! And, did I read between the lines or did she also say she may do some warm-up concerts before her official tour begins?

"Gender apartheid" in Afghanistan was the focus of passionate speeches, songs and dances before a celebrity crowd of more than 1,000 for a cause championed by Mavis Leno, wife of comedian Jay Leno. She said she hoped the event would raise the visibility of a plight unknown to many - that of 11 1/2 million women and girls who are kept in shrouds, forbidden to seek education or medical care, forced to live behind windows painted black and barred from leaving their homes without a male escort. Actor Sidney Poitier likened the situation to South African apartheid, saying, "In truth, they are one and the same. Oppression is oppression....Let's call it what it is. It is evil." The program, organized by the Feminist Majority Foundation, featured a videotaped message from President Clinton denouncing the repressive actions of the ruling Taliban party, and an appearance by the granddaughter and great granddaughters of Eleanor Roosevelt. It was broadcast around the world by Voice of America with supporters hoping it would reach Afghanistan. Lionel Richie wrote a song for the occasion and sang it in a dazzling production number with some 100 young people from two school choirs. Wynonna Judd, Melissa Etheridge, Vince Gill and Sarah McLachlan also performed at the event. There were passionate speeches by such stars as Kathy Bates, Hallie Berry, Lily Tomlin, Marlo Thomas, Alfre Woodard and Gillian Anderson denouncing the inhumane treatment of Afghan women. A film, "Shroud of Silence: Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan" - vividly depicted human rights abuses against women. The movie and the two-hour stage show were produced by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, a close friend of President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Although Mrs. Clinton was out of the country, her mother, Dorothy Rodham, and her brother, Hugh Rodham, had front row seats. Outside the Directors Guild of America, where the benefit was held, a group of pro-Afghanistan protesters shouted slogans denouncing the event. They were occasionally drowned out by counter-protesters. Both groups included Afghan-born women now living in the United States. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Two years ago, with an international tour in tatters and the health of lead singer and writer Dolores O'Riordan imperiled, the pulse of one of the biggest-selling rock bands of the '90s was weak indeed, by their own admission. But they have weathered the storm to complete "Bury The Hatchet," their fourth album, due for U.S. release by Island on April 27. The set bows April 19 in the rest of the world. The new set will be one of the first major worldwide releases since the Universal/PolyGram merger and will be an acid test of the new setup in the United States and internationally. Lead track "Promises" went to U.S. radio earlier this month and is already off to a hot start internationally, echoing the positive attitude toward the project from the band, management company the Left Bank Organization, and Island Mercury in the new infrastructure of Universal Music Group (UMG). - - snip - Island Mercury Records Group chairman Jim Caparro says that the label is also turning the hiatus into a positive. "It energized them creatively, and I told them, our focus is today and tomorrow, not yesterday. The break worked for them; you can just see the fire in their eyes." Rumors that Left Bank held back the album to await the UMG restructuring are inaccurate, says manager Lewis Kovac. "I'm pretty in touch with what's going on," says O'Riordan. "I've met a lot of the new (label) heads. I guess we're the first big project, and in a way we're the guinea pigs, but I think there's lots of excitement among the new staff. It's also sad, because lots of our friends are gone." "They're one of our first major releases coming out -- I wouldn't say guinea pigs," says Caparro, pointing to the Tuesday release on Rocket of "Elton John & Tim Rice's Aida." Noting that his staff has been preparing for "Bury The Hatchet" since the first of the year, he adds, "The four-month lead time is a perfect indication of a fundamental difference in the company. Every record is going to be put on the schedule only after it has the right plan associated with it." - - snip - _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
