The importance of Williamson and Fure cannot be overestamated.

While this is true, Michigan and many other women's festivals are open only to women both as performers (male band members can't even play with the artist) and as attendees. Michigan even has a "woman born woman" requirement (or did a few years ago. Maybe that's changed). Male->female transsexuals can't attend. Most of the artists are lesbians who write "lesbian" music. Not exactly universal appeal. Granted, with the billions of people and millions of different musicians in the world, no artist really gets a very large audience, but the artists and festivals are cutting themselves off from a much larger potential audience. Another granted is that the majority of people who attend Lilith Fair are women but it is open to *anyone*.

If not...forgive my ignorance! First off I wanted to thank the person who posted the links to the 5 MP3 files of Melissa songs! I was so excited I had to go download them immediately! Thanks! Does anybody know where there might be some others on the net? Im looking more specifically for duets she has done or for the unreleased stuff. Even the covers that she has done would be great. If you know where I might be able to find some of this stuff please email me. Secondly, I wanted to also post my disappointment over the Lilith Fair lineup this year. Not only are they not playing in Raleigh this year but they have none of the big acts that attracted me to it when it first got started. I have to say though, I admire the Indigo Girls for staying with it but to be honest, I would rather see them go on tour themselves...they rocked Raleigh and basically stole the show the last two years! I am also very disappointed in the exclusion of some of the women who have made a show like this possible. Although they never went mainstream I think they deserve a second stage appearance. I can remember when Lilith Fair was first announced and everyone was saying "Wow! A Womens Music Festival...never been done before!" It seems a shame that today's women in music have no knowledge of some of the festivals that have been going on for years and have the guts to continue even after Sarah got bored with hers (and I do like Sarah!) And remember...email me with those MP3 sites!

Johnson Julian feels abandoned because his dad left when he was 3. He's also mad at his dad's second wife, who he says is cheating him out of his inheritance. Julian tried his dad's business but felt used by greedy associates. Now, he's trying again. This melodrama - the story of Beatle John Lennon's elder son - is familiar to fans. But that didn't keep them and thousands of others - 700,000, on average - from tuning in April 25 for the premiere of his biography on Behind the Music (Sundays, 9 p.m. ET/PT), VH1's surprise hit series. Just as they have tuned in for Cher's story, and Shania Twain's, and five dozen others in the past two years. If previous patterns hold true, a lot of those viewers will buy Julian Lennon's albums in the next few weeks. And they'll tune in to see Lennon's story again and again, catching the 10 repeats that will air in the coming weeks. "It's so weird. You don't get sick of it," says fan Linda Cabrera, 27, of Chicago. It's the music industry's new nirvana: Viewers are happy, musicians are happy, record labels are happy, VH1 is happy. VH1's ratings for Sunday nights have soared since the series premiered, up 109% with the coveted 18-to-49 age group, Nielsen Media Research says. The show has helped VH1 leapfrog past hipper, younger-skewing sister channel MTV on Sundays. Average Sunday night viewership for VH1 has jumped 496%, to 600,000, compared with April 1997. MTV's numbers increased 159%, to 431,000, for the same period. Overall, observes David Adelson, executive editor of Hits magazine, "they've been able to strike an emotional response in a generation. It's helped put VH1 on the map." Many are attracted for the same reason as Motley Crue guitarist Nikki Sixx (a fan and subject of a 1998 Behind the Music): The show doesn't let musicians skip the lowlights, including catastrophic addictions, affairs and business decisions. "I like the ones that are like train wrecks," Sixx says. Producers tell artists upfront what unsavory aspects of their lives absolutely must be covered. For MC Hammer, it was how he lost his $33 million fortune. For Fleetwood Mac, it was the adulterous intraband affairs. For Leif Garrett, it was how, while drunk and drugged, he had a car accident in which a friend was crippled. Both good and bad are elaborated upon by friends, critics and business associates; details are filled in by a narrator. The producers have news backgrounds: Creator Jeff Gaspin came from NBC's Dateline; executive producer George Moll worked at ABC News. Why do the artists agree to cooperate on a show that airs all their dirty laundry? For the artists, it's an opportunity to set the record straight. The focus of each show is an interview with the star. Says Tony Orlando about his 1998 Behind the Music show: "Those who have seen it. . . . seem to have a better understanding of what they thought they read or what they thought they heard. It allowed a presence of truth in the now." But musicians also have learned that confession is not only good for the soul. It's often good for cold cash. Motley Crue's Sixx says crowds at the group's concerts "doubled immediately" after their show premiered, bringing in younger fans of Korn and Marilyn Manson. Jan and Dean's manager, Bill Hollingshead, says their VH1 episode was like a "free infomercial" that moved the '60s duo from playing "flatbed trucks at fairs and rodeos" to performing at arenas. "Cruise ships are next," he jokes. The week before Behind featured Madonna in 1998, she sold 26,401 copies of her Ray of Light album. The week after: 39,954, moving from No. 55 to No. 31 on Billboard's chart. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Skynyrd's Innyrds jumped from No. 60 to No. 28 after the band's show premiered in 1997. But the show initially had trouble attracting contemporary stars. The first featured act was Milli Vanilli, the duo forced to give up a Grammy for lip-syncing songs. Musicians were cautious; Peter Frampton declined a request to do a show. Before Orlando's show aired, says manager David Brokaw, his lawyer got involved because Behind planned to air information that was "not only false, but libelous and defamatory." Moll says he received a letter from Orlando's lawyer but denies that anything was cut. "If something is true, we're not going to be muscled out of putting it in the show." But as its becomes clearer the show isn't out to skewer them, Behind is attracting more stars. May episodes will feature the Black Crowes (May 9), Tom Petty (May 16) and Marianne Faithfull (May 23). On May 31, Behind repeats will begin airing daily at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Upcoming artists include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Melissa Etheridge, Glen Campbell, Jackie Wilson, Lenny Kravitz and Quincy Jones. Frampton has changed his mind and will shoot his story. Moll is in what he calls delicate discussions to shoot his top pick for Behind the Music: the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam). And even manager Brokaw makes it clear that he has no reservations about the way his client's show turned out. "I got to know one of my very best friends better than in all the nights when I sat up talking to him about this stuff." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Can anyone tell me when it was and if there > will be another chance to see it? there's some misinformation floating around. the GLAAD Awards are not being broadcast. E!'s show, "FYE!," did a "behind the scenes" at the GLAAD awards, which consisted of backstage interviews with some of the celebrities attending the gala. MLE or JC were *not* interviewed. in fact, there were only 2 shots of the dynamic duo. the first one was right at the beginning, which showed MLE kissing E!'s correspondent, Ken Taylor, on the cheek. the second shot of them was during Tom Hanks' interview. Tom mentioned how he was good friends with MLE and JC and was happy to present them with the award. all in all, it was rather disappointing. the entire 30 minutes was not devoted to the GLAAD Awards. believe me, anybody who missed the show didn't miss much. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I had the ocassion to be in Montreal this past weekend and the memories of one of the first gatherings (March '96) came flooding back. It was the first wave of "Joyce the Shirt Gal" shirts, it was really a wonderful time. Melissa's concert was of course *wonderful*, but the connections we made with one another and the lasting memories are unparalleled. Some of the players I have continued to be in touch with from time to time since then....Shirl, Sue D., Sue M., Lisa, Nancy.....but where is Joyce now? Where is Haley? Where are the rest? Are you still reading this list? I'd love to know everyone's whereabouts......Meanwhile, Melissa will soon be back and a great many more "Camp MLE's" will be popping up and a good time will be had by all. It *is* precious.

The cable channel also has plans for two new original series for next season, says USA Today. One is "The Ruby Wax Show," a new version of the short-lived Fox series starring the BBC talk-show host doing outrageous celebrity interviews. (Gee, maybe she'll interview us. What we lack in celebrity, we make up for in outrageousness. Trust us.) The other is one of those reality shows, hosted by Melissa Etheridge. Melissa Etheridge?

If you asked all the lesbians on this list what they called their significant other, they wouldn't agree on a term. I think mentioning how long they've been together and that they have kids is the opposite of belittling Julie's role. It's stating that a long term homosexual relationship is possible despite what the Jerry Falwells of the universe think.

Someone on the Indigo Girls list (Freida, are = you on here?) suggested the word "lesband", which she coined. This is = great if you're a lesbian. Gay men, however, would find it a touch = inappropriate, I should think. It doesn't work for me because I don't = like the masculine feel (it's too much like husband). I don't like the = word "mate" because, quite honestly, dumb animals have mates. Humans = have committed relationships. I have no particular objection to = partner, but it's not for me either. I do, however, like "significant = other"... a straight man who works in my office refers to his live-in = girlfriend of several years as his SO. It's a nice, generic term. Wife = would be nice, but we don't yet have that "special right" of legal = marriage. All things considered, I think WF was probably trying to be = sensitive to everyone - both the gay community and the Jerry Falwells of = the world. It would have been more PC if they'd said SO or maybe = domestic partner... but hey, at least they mentioned her at all, and = they did so in an inoffensive manner.

OTOH, i'm buying a Lotto ticket tonight (or 2 or 5 or 20 ), so i might be joining you after all. > Now I know Melissa won't remember that chat appearance in March, so > I'll have to come up with something original to capture her attention > this time around (without embarassing Randy to the point of no > return).

As you can see, there are problems with every label (after all, they are just a convenient shorthand), and I think "girlfriend" is probably the term acceptable to most. Perhaps you don't remember the days when Julie would have been labeled Melissa's companion (or, if they really respected her, "long-term companion"). Maybe "partner" would have worked in context, but I don't think "girlfriend" is a slight.

Julie is more than a "GIRLFRIEND." >> Hmmm. Well, I think it all depends on whether you are embracing common heterosexual definitions of what a "girlfriend" is. In the heterosexual scheme of things, a woman meets a man and they start dating; they're girlfriend and boyfriend. If they get serious about each other, then they become engaged; they're fiance and fiancee. Finally, if they marry, they become husband and wife. So *in heterosexual terms,* there are clear agreed-upon definitions of "levels" of intimacy and commitment. In the gay community, there are NO clear-cut agreed-upon labels for our relationships (especially since we cannot legally marry!), and we may, if we wish, not even choose to follow the "heterosexual model." If I'm reading Deb and others correctly, this is really what they mean. Terms that get used *interchangeably*--not in some hierarchical sense--are girlfriend, lover, partner, significant other, life partner, soulmate, mate, etc. Consequently it was not necessarily a "slight" for the newscaster to refer to Julie as Melissa's girlfriend, especially in light of the fact that the person went on to acknowledge the length of the relationship and the fact they have children. (It is a slight, though, if one believes there's only one definition of "girlfriend" and the newscaster also thinks that. But those are some awfully big assumptions.) I hope this explanation makes sense.

My mate and I happen to be two people who feel this way. I guess it is the closest step to being part of a world where so many prejudices rule and I think that by knowing what role you are comfortable with as a gay or lesbian person, makes you feel that you are that much closer to being a part of the whole. I think too that it is much easier and more spelled out (if you will) for straights to understand better (in their terms) the normalcy and the naturalness (just like them) that we express; and that we can love just as deeply and completely as they do! So, I do not think that labels are all that bad.......I just like to take the most good out of something and leave the negatives(which usually are less) and live my life in peace and harmony............We must love much to make a mark in our societies today. An example: Chris and I are out at work. We have many different cultures of people coming to us and asking us questions for a better understanding of who we are. One was a Mexican woman and she asked Chris what do you call Pauline? Chris explained to her in a way she would understand....in her language,, she told her that I was her "esposa" for life which means wife in her language. She understood then how deep and how much we loved each other. That seemed to break the ice of her ignorance and now she talks so much to us as a couple, that she continues to want to know more about our lifestyle. This way of communication seems to work: meeting the person at the level of their understanding............because our lifestyle is still a mystery to the straight community. If Melissa is ok with her mate being called her GIRLFRIEND, so be it.......but I think when things like this are voiced in the media, this is an opportunity to set the world straight(pardon the pun) LOL, and EDUCATE those who need to understand better.

So when the former Hearst Books chief showed up for work some months back, she was troubled when she found a project by David Crosby that was languishing. "Stand and Be Counted: Artists and Activism," the rock icon's book, written with George magazine's David Bender, started out 15 years ago as a proposed photo book about Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's life in and around music, mainly using Graham Nash's extensive photography collection. "I looked at what there was so far," Perle said, "which was going to be pictures with a little text, and said, 'wait a minute, there's a whole history here.' " Crosby, a published New Agey novelist, dug in. Reaching from the '60's civil rights marches and anti-war demonstrations through Live Aid and Free Tibet concerts of more recent years, the book includes interviews with Aretha Franklin, Sting, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Jackson Browne, Melissa Etheridge, Elton John and Harry Belafonte, who recounts singing at a Martin Luther King Jr. rally. Part of the proceeds from the $25 book are earmarked for the Children's Defense Fund. Boomer hearts will race at the thought of an upcoming reunion tour, along with an album Crosby, Nash and Neil Young are currently recording. The book comes out two months into the tour, in October. Hoping to benefit from the huge success of "The Sixties" mini-series on NBC in February, the "Stand and Be Counted" team is in talks with the networks and PBS about a three-part documentary.

I still wanted to toss in my 2 sense. Thanks Rhonda for the assistance. < I think the organizers didn=92t want people to thin= k=20 Lilith Fair was a lesbian festival.=94 - - -snip-> I do believe that there was an obvious shying away from the image that Lilith Fair was anything lesbian. I conclude this due to the obvious exclusion of Melissa herself, only this year was she ask to perform on the Europe portion of the tour this summer.{she declined, see last chat.} I love Chris Williamson,Tret, Holly, Meg etc. They were my source of support as a young lesbian, coming out in the late 70's. However, for the most part the women's music scene did tend to exclude anything non lesbian. In fact Melissa herself was rejected by Olivia as not being enough of something or other. {too many experts here to miss quote the facts!!!} I can see how the shoe being on the other foot might be a bit tight. As a bit of history for the music festivals--- I remember repeatedly being told by participants that they desired " a place of our own", there was a distinct attitude and big push not to be mainstream, a refusal to not sell out to the masses. So why now, what has changed? With that said I do bow to the greatness of Chris Williamson as she is definitely a pioneer in women's music. I believe one does have to wonder where Ms McLachlan gained the concept of Lilith Fair and I believe that Chris along with other artists deserve some acknowledgment. Alice aka Dial history/herstory is merely the recordation of the days of our lives.

Two posts in one day!! Uh oh!!! I am thinking of planning a MEIN gathering for Sept. 24-26th. I am looking to bring in some of the people from the chat room and anywhere else for that matter. Now that I know there is a Bay Area group that makes it all the better. My plan is to set up reservations with a San Francisco Hotel for out of State/towners. A get to know each other/party Friday night. Saturday SF sight seeing and/or hop a rented van for Russian River Women's Weekend. Now for the locals you may know what that is. For you non locals, Russian River is a quaint little town located in Northern California's beautiful wine country. It is also known for it's rather large gay population. Two weekend's out of the year hundreds of gay women descend on this town. If you have never experienced the rush of being completely OUT while walking through Safeway supermarket...you haven't lived!!!!!(ok that was my experience the first time I went, I was very closeted at the time). I was going to invite Enric, Kurt, Fannie etc. from MEIN to SF , and I have been offered a box of trinkets from MEIN for the party. So my question is who is interested. Email me and I will send more information. This is in the planning stage so suggestions are welcome, encouraged even. And for the BABERS ( I hope I got that right). Anyone wanted to help me out feel free to offer.

Last night's 13th annual Fashion Cares event, the MAC viva, glam, mondo, movie-rama, fashion-pack-can party. More than 4,000 guests, including stuffy executives, la-di-da snooty socialites, outrageous drag queens, hard-working volunteers, including a bevy of bare-chested waiters, and of course the city's hardline fashionistas, dressed in black, raised almost $1 million for the AIDS Committee of Toronto, the country's largest service organization dedicated to assisting men and women with HIV/AIDS. It was a tribute to film and fantasy. The event, which started yesterday at 5:30 p.m. and ended around dawn this morning at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, honoured the moving picture, from trashy 'B' films to cultish flicks, horror films and over-the-top blockbusters - the good the bad and the scary. For the entertainment and fashion portion of the show, designers created costumes that reflected their favourite films - the movies of Russ Meyer, the films Foxy Brown, Friday the 13th, La Dolce Vita and the ubertacky Can't Stop The Music, starring the Village People. (Picture the foursome dressed as women - Yikes!) Jane Avery wore it attached to her feather boa. Laminated spills from her favourite movies such as Some Like it Hot, and A Streetcar Named Desire. Canada's superstar designer Lida Baday, for example, combined the images of the country singing divas (Tammy, Loretta, Patsy and Lynn) with the quirky film Midnight Cowboy. "It was all about glam country," said Baday. The evening got under way with a cocktail party and silent auction, a sit-down dinner for 2,000, a headlining entertainment line-up, and the perennial hit, a fashion show of outlandish proportions. British hat designer Stephen Jones designed a collection of hats with a Canadian theme - an ode to Canadiana. Hats were presented as Niagara Falls, the aurora borealis, snowshoes and igloos. The designer was amazed at the size and magnitude of the event. "There's nothing like this in the world," he said. Gala tickets cost $300 and tickets for the party sold for $75. The interior focused on the grand ballroom scenes from famous films, a black, white and silver decor and an elegant chandelier at each table. There was big band music. It took an army of volunteers to pull off the massive fashion and entertainment extravaganza - 80 hairstylists representing 10 salons, 80 makeup artists, 110 models, 25 dancers and a legion of stylists. The volunteer entertainment committee enticed American Grammy award winning rock singer Melissa Etheridge, Canada's Philosopher Kings (I Am The Man, Hurts To Love You), Nashville country singer Lynn Anderson (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden), disco singer Lolitta Holloway, and for the third consecutive year East Coast fiddler Ashley MacIsaac. And there were celebrities in the house including New York designer Kenneth Cole and Olympic gold medalist Mark Tewksbury. That the event was realized at all was thrilling for the many Fashion Cares followers who worried the purchase of MAC by U.S. cosmetics giant Estee Lauder might spell the end for the internationally popular fundraising event. According to Phillip Ing, the show's producer, the Toronto Fashion Cares is unparalleled in the world, thanks largely to MAC. But Estee Lauder has proven their support is ongoing. "MAC has continued its involvement. In fact it's even stronger," says Fashion Cares chair Jann Coppen. As well, there were more than a dozen other corporate sponsors including the Bay, Eatons and Macy's West department stores. "AIDS-related charities are no longer a hard sell," says Coppen. "Now, because there is so much education out there, we have sponsors approaching us." Both Coppen and Ing agree there is still a lot of need for funds. "People with HIV are living longer and therefore require even more services," says Coppen. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I'll tape a copy for myself on the next (and last) airing. But first, please don't anybody ask me for copies as I only have one VCR. If you ask other people, find out how much postage from Canada to the US is and how much exchange is before you offer to shortchange them. Mike called Julie "partner". There, that's out of the way. The new album will be out in 4 or 5 months. When she tours she will play at least Montreal and Toronto on the Canadian leg (gee thanks, Melissa, what about the other 25 million Canadians who don't leave in or near these cities?) At "Fashion Cares" she planned to play "Silent Legacy" and a song from the new album. According to Mike, the show is taped for tv and aired worldwide. Some women in the audience had a sign. Mike teased them that "Melissa" has 2 "l"s and that they'd spelled her name wrong. Bonnie _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

It >may be "minute" to others, but for me it means a lot. >> I see your point and I think it's a valid one. It is aggravating that a good portion of heterosexual America plays down commitments between gays and lesbians because people aren't viewed as "officially" committed until there's a piece of paper stating that they are legally joined. I think you should label yourselves however you best see fit, and if someone refers to you in another fashion and it offends you, let 'em know about it. then wrote: >I think Melissa too would have spurted out a correction if the >chance existed!!! Whoa...how do we know that MLE or JC, either one, would be offended at someone referring to one of them as the girlfriend of the other? Have we asked them? If either of them have stated this in an interview somewhere along the way, then I'll eat my shoe (mind you, I made this same offer awhile ago on the Ellen list and I believe that I got called out on it...). However, I don't think that it's fair to take the liberty of assuming what someone else would do unless we know that person very will. Wood2Chris@aol.com wrote: >Granted there seems not to be clear cut labels for our >community, but there are many,many who DO want to have a >label or want to be referred to as a certain '"model" in the >community in which they live and work. True. But do we know for sure that MLE and JC are two of these people? Perhaps the label of "girlfriend" suits them both fine (or at least they may not be offended by it, even if they don't use it). Perhaps they're not interested in labels at all? >I think that by knowing what role you are comfortable with as a >gay or lesbian person, makes you feel that you are that much >closer to being a part of the whole. True. For some people, labels are a necessity to feel as though they belong somewhere in the grand scheme of things. I identify as gay if the issue comes up, but first and foremost, I identify as "me". There are so many things that define who I am as a human being...being gay sometimes falls way back on the list. >That seemed to break the ice of her ignorance and now she >talks so much to us as a couple, that she continues to want to >know more about our lifestyle. Case-in-point of how even the seemingly easily offended amongst us can offend others: using the term "lifestyle" to address one's sexual orientation. I got raked a few years ago by someone on this list (who shall remain nameless, but who knows who she is! ) for using the term "lifestyle". My sexual orientation has no bearing on how I live my life other than with whom I choose to live it. Being gay isn't something that I went out and chose to become, like I would choose how to furnish my home or like I would choose a car to drive--two things that make up my style of living or my life- style. Being gay is not a "style"...it's an inherent part of what makes up who I am. My home decor and my car, OTOH, can change on a whim. >This way of communication seems to work: meeting the person >at the level of their understanding Ah...so perhaps a good level of understanding, for some (maybe most?) heterosexual people, is to at least acknowledge a same- sex relationship by using the terms boyfriend/girlfriend in a positive light (as did the author of the article on MLE/JC/Family)? I would much rather gain acknowledgment as a strong family unit rather than bicker or quibble over whether or not I was referred to as someone's girlfriend vs. whatever-label-didn't-offend-someone-else. >If Melissa is ok with her mate being called her GIRLFRIEND, so >be it... Exactly. >...but I think when things like this are voiced in the media, this is >an opportunity to set the world straight(pardon the pun) LOL, and >EDUCATE those who need to understand better. Educate according to *your* opinion? To *my* opinion? Whose opinion are we going to use to "educate" those who need to understand better? What if I don't want to call my girlfriend my "mate"? Because you're comfortable with "mate", does that mean that I have to be comfortable with it, too? I refer to other same-sex couples as "partners". I would use "partner" or "girlfriend" in my own relationship (were I to have one, God Forbid) (<---best Jewish impersonation I could muster through email ). What I'm getting at is fairly simple...whose standard of labeling are we all going to be happy with? Answer: There isn't one. I think that making an assumption that someone we don't even know personally is, or will be, offended by certain terms or labels is rather presumptuous. Whether heterosexuals (or even homosexuals, for that matter) refer to same-sex couples as girl-/boyfriends, partners, lovers, soul mates, life companions, etc., is not, IMO, worthy of such debate. Labels used are not where education about our lives and communities begins. 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: Mon, 10 May 1999 09:01:37 PDT From: "Bonnie Phillips" Subject: Re: *etheridge* (SMLEC) Re: Labels, Schlabels (long-winded) The Jen wrote: >this in an interview somewhere along the way, then I'll eat my shoe >(mind you, I made this same offer awhile ago on the Ellen list and I >believe that I got called out on it...).

One friend is a musician (she's finishing up her first CD). After the concert she played her cover of CTMW. She plays it much more slowly because she thinks Melissa's rock version detracts from the passion. Other than I think her version is too long, I think the slowed down version adds a lot to the song. The musician we went to see came in just before she finished and started drumming along on a chair. After she finished, he started singing a bit of the song so I guess he likes it.

When your friend slows the song down, does she play just chords or has she added a fingerpicking pattern? And better yet, did you record her?

HEY MELisers!

I also wonder just how many people they can sell this privilege to and just how much they are scalping from MEIN members. isn't asking someone to pay $699 plus aifare and other travel associateed expenses (don't forget buying all that fine fan asylum merchandise) to find out what their "secret surprise" is, might just be a little manipulative and declasse'? certainly, the opportunity to meet Melissa and see her in a what should be an amazing venue is great.

Although it may appear that MEIN is scalping in a big way, you have to first off look at WHERE this event is taking place - New York City. It is a fact of life that this area sucks up cash like one of those fancy Hoover tornado vacuum cleaners. The average cost of a night's lodging in these parts is around $200.00 (for a decent hotel not some fleabag). Now that does not take into account discounted rooms or group rates but it does show the basis from which MEIN is working. Add to that transportation to the venue, then tickets to the private showing, then whatever costs are incurred to have set up a "meet & greet" with Melissa and things add up. No, it is not cheap but well worth the money for the opportunity. And even though MEIN has screwed up things in the past, their travel packages are worth the investment, not manipulative and declasse`. I know I am looking forward not only to meeting Melissa (be still my beating heart), but also the chance to catch up with old friends and make some new ones such as Margaret, Lisa, Nicki, et al.

He said there is a "fair amount" of people in the area, but wouldn't verify how many tix they will have. They will notify "winners" sometime next week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I couldn't give a hoot about the 'secret surprise'; it wasn't the deciding factor im my decision so I don't feel manipulated. Since I live so close, it was easy for me decide to spend the remainder of my income tax refund. If I hadn't had it, I wouldn't be going.

I respect the fact that three nights in new york can easily $700. of course I don't think the people going will be staying at those hotels. but I am just guessing, I have no direct knowledge of what they plan or what their costs are. and yes, any business should be able to make a fair and reasonable profit. I agree. I have no problem at all with that. my point was rather, shouldn't fan asylum have considered doing this in another manner, this first MLE event, as sort of a welcome back. rather than drop it into travel package mode and start that gravy train? if everyone is truly happy with it, members and otherwise then I have the information I was seeking. perhaps I am burdened with too much knowledge of how things work on the inside there. rest assured my goal in that post was to start people thinking and see some thoughts from others. flame wars and such I'll leave to the kids on other mailing lists. so, I would love to hear from anyone else, privately or otherwise. for now, I will go back to my usual lurking and just watch the parade. thansk for listening, - -russell ****************************************************************** 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: Wed, 12 May 1999 05:51:13 PDT From: "Bonnie Phillips" Subject: Re: *etheridge* incendiary posts and a non-flammable response Russell wrote: >rather, I had hoped to start what certainly could have been spirited but >reasoned discussion about the event. apparently, I am wrong.

Thankfully the amount of MLE information on the net is awesome (see I'm even using American terms!). I've not found anyone else who seems to raise such affection in her fans - maybe because most of the others have gone into orbit since they became famous.

Trashy B-movies, bad girls and superheroes were the reel images that inspired the Fashion Cares M.A.C Viva Glam show Mondo Movie Rama. Real was the $1-million raised Saturday evening for the Aids Committee of Toronto (ACT) by 4,000 guests and volunteers who danced 'til dawn at the Toronto Convention Centre. The event has grown from a modest show attended by 400 guests 13 years ago to what is now -- the largest AIDS fashion/variety show fundraiser in Canada. The always outlandish and outrageous fashion spectacle is directed by M.A.C showman Phillip Ing, who describes this year's theme as a twisted tribute to film and fantasy. "We went into the most obscure corners of movies -- no Oscar ball gowns here," Ing says of the work of 80 local designers and special-effect makeup artists and stylists. Costumes played on cinematic genres. Think Can't Stop The Music starring the Village People played by drag queens in angelic white. Think the Trevi fountain scene in La Dolce Vita, which inspired a gush of water fantasy creations. Graphic twists came from mystic eyes and bloodied gowns paying homage to scream movies and horror flicks. Space-age superheroes dropped by, including Barbarella meets Mad Max. A wild west show segment spoofed country divas with big hair and watermelon bosom whooping it up with Midnight Cowboy gigolos. Upping the entertainment quotient of the show were rock singer Melissa Etheridge, Nashville sweetheart Lynn Anderson (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden), dance diva vocalist Loleatte Holloway, Cape Breton fiddling sensation Ashley MacIsaac, the Philosopher Kings, and Bodyvox modern dancers Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland. Haute milliner Stephen Jones flew in from London with two handfuls of hats that played on an "Ode to Canadiana" theme. American designer Kenneth Cole also helped to raise the event's international profile. For those who missed the big bash, MuchMoreMusic will broadcast a Fashion Cares special on June 24 at 10 p.m. -- Photos by Mark O'Neill, SUN _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

In attendance were cast members Kate Capshaw, with Steven Spielberg, Ellen DeGeneres, Julianne Nicholson, Tom Selleck, Blythe Danner and Gloria Stuart. Also on hand to greet the audience were the film's director Peter Chan, producers Sarah Pillsbury and Midge Sanford, executive producer Beau Flynn, and screenwriter Maria Maggenti.

Opening nationwide on May 21st, "The Love Letter" is set in the sleepy New England town of Loblolly by the Sea, where a letter has arrived that is going to wake things up. It is a love letter -- ardent, sensual...and unsigned. Everybody who reads it wonders who it's for and who it's from. Unexpectedly, one mysterious love note has the power to unlock some startling secrets, changing the lives of everyone it touches. "The Love Letter" stars Kate Capshaw, Blythe Danner, Ellen DeGeneres, Geraldine McEwan, Julianne Nicholson, Tom Everett Scott, Tom Selleck and Gloria Stuart. The film marks the American debut of acclaimed Hong Kong filmmaker Peter Ho-sun Chan. Sarah Pillsbury and Midge Sanford and Kate Capshaw produced the film from a screenplay by Maria Maggenti based upon the novel by Cathleen Schine. Bandeira Entertainment partners Beau Flynn and Stefan Simchowitz are the executive producers. DreamWorks SKG was formed in October 1994, by its three principal partners -- Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen -- to produce live-action motion pictures; animated feature films; network, syndicated and cable television programming; home video entertainment; records; books; toys; consumer products and interactive entertainment.

INTIMATE PORTRAIT: MELISSA ETHERIDGE is premiering on Lifetime on Sunday, June 20th at 10:00 PM. Here is the information that included in the email. - ------------------------------------- It was originally scheduled to air in October to coincide with her album release, but Lifetime is airing it early because they want to beat VH1's BEHIND THE MUSIC, which is currently in production. The INTIMATE PORTRAIT was completed in December. Melissa was interviewed in the summer and gave a very in-depth interview. Unlike BIOGRAPHY or BEHIND THE MUSIC, the series relies on the artist themselves to provide most of the story. Melissa reveals her feelings about growing up in Leavenworth, coming out to her parents, coming out professionally, her relationship with Julie and her feelings about gay marriage (a very surprising revelation). The INTIMATE PORTRAIT is narrated by Kathy Najimy and features interviews with by k.d. lang, Ellen DeGeneres, Julie Cypher, Elizabeth Etheridge (Missy's mom), Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, John Sykes (of VH1) and Bill Leopold (Missy's manager). It also features exclusive, never-before-seen footage of Melissa's coming out at the Triangle Ball in Washington D.C. There is a possibility that Lifetime will air the show only one time in June and then re-broadcast several times in October, so make sure you catch it...and spread the word!!! - ------------------------------------- - ---onek--- Melissa Etheridge Come To My Window http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/davis/72/index.html ______________________________________________________ Sent by FortuneCity Mail at http://www.fortunecity.com Join now and receive 20Mb of free web space and E-mail ****************************************************************** 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 #78 ****************************** From: owner-etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com (etheridge-digest) To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V3 #79 etheridge-digest Sunday, May 16 1999 Volume 03 : Number 079 *etheridge* Renaissance Faire Goers???

Maybe in the year 2001 and even then tickets will be $65 + Aust ... that is if she tours here at all! Hey, maybe she could do her comeback concert in my backyard. Then it would cost me and about 5 of my friends nothing, although it would cost her around $80,000. Best wishes to those who can go to the concert in NY, and who can watch the upcoming TV specials.

I was searching this Mle guitar magazine cover on the net and this is what I found: Nothing about Mle in GUITAR MAGAZINE (http://www.guitarmag.com) The June 1999 edition is about Jimi Hendrix. 20th Century Guitar Magazine (http://www.tcguitar.com) The May issue has Julian Lennon in the cover. Guitar Player (http://www.guitarplayer.com) Current issue: Ani DiFranco, Cranberries and Mick Ralphs. Nothing on Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Fingerstyle Guitar or Total guitar Magazine, too. Well, I think this Melissa guitar mag. is an old issue, but I'm not sure. I think it is strange to have Melissa in a guitar cover magazine these days, because she is not promoting any album, and she is not having regular shows or anything... Well, that's it!

My tenant plays the guitar and gets a subscription to Guitar Magazine. He's not home, but I'm going to ask him if I can have it for a bit to get all the pertinent info. I don't know how far in advance the subs. copies are, but he just got one a few days ago with a young male group (4 or 5 guys) on there. The one before that (2-3 weeks maybe?) had Melissa on the cover (still with the long hair, btw). Some blurbs on the front about the contest. I actually sent in a postcard and entered. I was curious enough to confiscate the magazine for a day before I gave it to him, but don't tell.... LOL! There was no story or anything on her, just the cover and the contest inside. I'll re-post when I get the magazine from him. If you all would like, I'll scan the cover and put it up somewhere on the web. Darlene > Good question!

All U.S. TV shows are broadcast in NTSC format. I understand the UK and _most_ of Europe uses PAL format, while France and a few other European countries use SECAM. In order to view a tape made in the U.S., you would need to have access to a combo-VCR which can play NTSC, or convert the NTSC tape to PAL format. This conversion can usually be done by commercial video studios. Cost on this side of the pond varies from $25 to $50 US, depending on the tape's length. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Now, before I get inundated with requests for requests for Melissa stuff here's the deal. I will only transcode tapes from NTSC -> PAL/SECAM if you have some video or audio to trade. I can get PAL/SECAM tapes transcoded here so video is no problem. For audio I'd prefer CD format (I can make a CD-R) but tapes can be dealt with. I have a wide range of musical tastes so it doesn't have to be Melissa material that I receive to trade. I would be VERY interested in obtaining any live video of Alannah Myles (hint hint). I also have a 4-head HiFi -> 4-h HiFi setup to do NTSC VHS dubs. LMK through private e-mail (mosika@iupui.edu) & not the list if you have any offers. I will not respond to offers sent to the list as that's not its purpose & I don't wanna get Jen pissed off @ me. ;-) peace, mitch PS .... Marcel, I got your e-mail but have been way too busy @ work lately to reply but I'll get back to you soon.

It's been 30 years since the hot summer nights of June 1969 when queers fought back against the harassment and extortion of New York City police. Now this powerful new sequel to Before Stonewall proclaims that "everything changed after Stonewall. It lead us to a time when millions of homosexuals around the world would no longer hide their identity. It also marked the beginning of a seismic shift in society at large. How did this happen? How did a new openness among gay people transform virtually every area of life?" To document the many milestones in the struggle for lesbian and gay civil rights, the filmmakers have assembled remarkably rare archival photographs, ephemera and moving image footage (including clips of Stonewall itself, early demonstrations, performances by Bette Midler and Sylvester, Gay Games, Lesbian Avengers and much more). Narrated by Melissa Etheridge, the film features an amazing assortment of queer luminaries, principally from New York and San Francisco, offering their astute perspectives on the movementís strides and setbacks including: Dorothy Allison, Rita Mae Brown, Jim Fouratt, Barbara Gittings, Jewelle Gomez, Karla Jay, Larry Kramer, Craig Lucas, Armistead Maupin, Rev. Troy Perry, among many others. The film, sensitive to complex issues of class, race and gender, is a wonderful achievement - a historical survey that is thrilling, poignant and informative. - - Jim Van Buskirk After Stonewall 1999 USA 87 min. 16mm This program is sponsored by SAAB. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

This weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the LA premiere of this documentary, and all I can say was that it is a truly marvellous film. It provides an overview of events in the gay & lesbian community since the famous Stonewall Riots. I cried three times during the movie and laughed out loud more times than I can count. (Heck, the whole thing is worth watching just to see Anita Bryant get a pie in the face. ) And, of course, the film is narrated by Melissa Etheridge. There is a nice short clip of her at the film's beginning, where Melissa is performing "Keep It Precious" at the 1993 March on Washington. A surprisingly small gathering attended the premiere at LA's Gay & Lesbian Center, probably the nicest gay community center I've ever seen, with a great auditorium seating about 150 and very comfortable seats (hey, some things are important to a gal ;-)). I'd say about 30 people were there. Among the attendees were Robin Tyler (of the West Coast Women's Music Festivals) and Harry Hay (who founded the Radical Faeries and the Mattachine Society). Producer John Scagliotti was there in addition to Melissa herself, who spoke briefly before the film's showing. She talked about how she'd seen "Before Stonewall" in the theatre way back when and had been blown away by the history of our community and how much she had not known. So, she said, she leaped at the chance to narrate this film, considering it an honor to do so. I also got to meet FINALLY in person the fabulous German Superfan, Tim Dunker (hi, Tim! ) and I met Melissa too, who wandered over to our group to say hi to Tim and stayed to chat with us about five minutes and who, to my great pleasure, recognized my name the second Tim introduced us. Melissa is gracious, down-to-earth, friendly, and actually very playful. :-) Joyce ****************************************************************** 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, 24 May 1999 10:08:51 -0700 From: suzi kalmus Subject: Re: *etheridge* After Stonewall BTW the film will be part of the SF Gay and Lesbian film festival in June.

Atlanta's WPBA, the area's secondary public station, will run the documentary at 9 p.m. on June 26, three days after PBS's national feed to stations, which is timed to coincide with Gay Pride Month. GPTV is the only primary public station in a top-ten market not scheduled to show the film. But there are public stations or statewide networks in smaller markets that also haven't scheduled the film: South Carolina Educational TV and Louisiana Public Broadcasting, which does not include New Orleans. The primary public station in New Orleans is airing the documentary. Werner Rogers, executive director of Georgia Public Broadcasting, said the 90-minute After Stonewall is not airing on GPTV because of a scheduling conflict with local programming. The station annually airs Job Fair on the same Wednesday each June, which this year is the night PBS feeds After Stonewall to its primary stations. Job Fair is a live three-hour call-in show, in cooperation with the state department of labor, devoted to giving viewers employment information and job opportunities. Shows with gay themes have a controversial history at GPTV, which has nine stations statewide. In 1994, GPTV aired the unedited version of Tales of the City, a weeklong miniseries based on the widely acclaimed Armistead Maupin stories about a group of people living in 1970s San Francisco. There was some nudity and profanity in the unedited version, and sex (gay and straight) and drug use figured in the story lines. Reaction against the program in the state legislature threatened to derail Georgia Public Broadcasting's $19.6-million request for funds to build its current state-of-the-art facility near Georgia Tech. WQED in Pittsburgh, the nation's 19th-largest market, is not airing After Stonewall in June because of a local membership drive that week, though program director Chris Fennimore said of rescheduling the film, "It will air." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

She repeated the release dates for her single and album. She's looking forward to the VH-1/MEIN concert thingy in NYC. Um.....she chose NYC over LA because she has way too many friends and connections in LA and thus would have so many "obligations" for invitations that it would be impossible to invite fans, which I thought was nice of her....so, it was mostly small talk.

While the decision does not legalize gay marriage, or even extend legal rights to same-sex couples, it does represent a major shift in that direction. Thursday's decision culminates a case that began when a Toronto lesbian tried to sue her ex-partner for alimony and was rebuffed because Ontario law did not recognize her as a spouse. The justices ruled 8-1 that the heterosexual-only definition of spouse is unconstitutional. ****************************************************************** 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: Tue, 25 May 1999 16:09:39 -0400 From: "Eddie Cohen" Subject: *etheridge* New trivia Hi Everyone, Just thought that I'd take a break from lurking to let everyone know that I have a new trivia question about Melissa Etheridge on my hyper-poll so go and answer it and see it you are right.

KDHX will have prizes based on MLE-related trivia. if you're not in the St. Louis area, KDHX is available on the net at http://www.kdhx.org/listen.html. you'll need Real Player to listen to the broadcast. while there aren't any hours listed on MEIN's news page for the broadcast, i reviewed KDHX's Program Schedule, and it looks like the show might air from 8:30 pm to 10 pm CT. KDHX's "Women of Note" show airs at this time, a show devoted to "influential female artists on the Rock Scene, past, present and future." you can check out the blurb on MEIN's news page at http://www.melissaetheridge.com/melissa/news.html.

MLE appeared a little after 7:30 a.m. (EDT) and chatted with the DJs for a few minutes - they complimented her new hairdo, etc. Then while she was moving over to the stage, one DJ lead us in singing Happy Birthday to her. (I couldn't see her at this point but I think she liked it.) Then she picked up the Ovation and the whole crowd started cheering. It was just MLE and the Ovation under the lights. She did CMTW, then two new songs called (not sure I got these right) Angels Would Fall and Enough of Me, and closed with ITOO. The new songs are very soulful and (I thought) mature - less imagery, more direct lyrics. Angels Would Fall was kinda quiet and thoughtful, Enough of Me rocked out in the chorus. In between songs, MLE confirmed that the name of the new cd is Breakdown (for reasons she's sure she'll be talking about for some time to come), and made some comment about if it's ever released. Sounded like she shared our frustration about that. She also blew the beginning of ITOO and joked with us that we were all just singing along, as if that's the way it's supposed to go. (She started with the second verse.) She said "I know how it goes" and started again. She also said that she's missed performing and that she'd been rattling around her house and finally Julie said why don't you go find some folks to play for? She also said she'll see us again in the fall! MLE finished performing a little before 8:00 a.m. and left the stage. Some people who were closer than me will have to give the fashion report. It looked like she was wearing a black scoop neck t-shirt and black or brown leather pants. Her hair is a little longer. She bounced around on stage a few times and faced different parts of the audience, tho' she had precious little room to move up there. I happened to see her as she left with security around 8:30 and she looked tired. I don't know when she flew in - we all speculated about jet lag. I think she enjoyed doing the show - she said something about looking forward to NYC next week. That's all for now.

About 5 rows from Mel and standing directly in the middle. There was a contest going on and the person asked my name. I hated that and tried to move away with no luck as I stammered out my name... uh..uh.. Eddie. Talk about embarrassing. Wish I had known others listers that were going to be there would have been trilled to have a face to put with the name. It was great to see that Melissa hasn't lost her edge. The new songs are great, and leaves you wanting more...and more...and more... My partner Theresa was able to take 2 rolls of film with a zoom lens. I am just happy to say...New York Here we come! Got tickets for next week!! (YIPPEE). It is her first full length show of Melissa's that she will be seeing. She is relieved that there isn't reserved seating. She doesn't want to be in the horde of screaming women in the front. I don't know about the rest of you but I am going to do my dammedest to be apart of the horde of worshipers in the front. Have a good night, going to bed. I have been up for over 30 hours now. We just got home. It's 4pm here.

[apparently, MLE has already forgotten about her incredible set at Sedona, AZ back in October 1997! what do they say when you get older...the memory is the second thing to go? ] * here is the chorus on one of the new songs (MEIN didn't indicate which song this was from though): > I held the world back for you > Ain't that enough > I loved you past the point of dying > Ain't that enough * "How Could It Happen" will premiere on Lifetime (a U.S. cable station) on August 16th. however, the series will be renamed before its airdate. check it all out for yourself at http://www.melissaetheridge.com/melissa/main.html (click on the "news" link). *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I'm on the digest so I'm not sure if someone has posted about this morning's mini-concert by Melissa but I thought I would put in my 2 cents. First, she looked great! When I first saw her new hairdo on E! I wasn't sure what to think. Seeing it in person - wow! It looks so great on her. She wore a tight black short sleeve shirt and dark brown/black (?) jeans (hard to tell the exact color in the lighting) with "snaps" on the outside and inside seams. They were typical "Melissa pants" She did a very brief interview with the DJ's, then walked to the nearby stage and proceeded to play 4 songs - all acoustic. The first, of course, was CTMW. Then she played 2 new songs (I hope I remember the titles right) - The Angels Would Fall and Enough of Me. (My new favorite lyric is "I loved you past the point of dying. Ain't that enough.. .of me.... for you?) Her finale was ITOO - which she messed up the lyrics to and had to start over. Must have been the early hour - 7:30 a.m.! She told us that the new CD is due out in October and then said she had "waffled and waffled" about what to call it but for a "multitude of reasons" decided to call it "Breakdown" Hmmmm. We were the first ones she told the title to and the first ones she played the new songs to. The 2 new songs are awesome, particularly "Enough of Me". This song seemed to be the favorite of the people that surrounded me at the concert. I really believe this will be the first release from the new CD. Now, I did bring a cassette recorder with me and was able to record it. HOWEVER, the quality is not great and is like most bootlegs - you hear all the people standing next to you and Melissa's in the background. I'm hoping there is another lister that might have recorded the broadcast off the stereo and will therefore have a much better recording. If not, I will gladly start some type of tape tree. Please, if someone has experience with this sort of thing, can you email me privately and tell me how to set it up? Also, WPLJ and the New York Post did a promotional cover of today's newspaper. It's today's paper but the cover story is "Scott and Todd's Summer Blastoff" with a pix of Melissa etc... I have ONLY 2 copies that I will gladly send to the first 2 people to email me PRIVATELY on Tuesday (I will only charge for postage.) Any emails I receive before Tuesday will not count. I want to give the people who are away this Memorial Day weekend to have equal opportunity. I also took 2 rolls of film - hopefully they will come out good. Anyone interested in putting a couple up on their website for others to see? Email me privately. Well, that's all for now. It was a great way to wake up this morning - even if I did have to wake up at 3 A.M. Lisa :) ****************************************************************** 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: Fri, 28 May 1999 17:41:07 EDT From: LunaNegra@aol.com Subject: Re: *etheridge* In a message dated 5/28/99 5:17:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Lisa_Eidel@berlex.com writes: << "I loved you past the point of dying.

Well, it was great! We got there early enough, 6:30 AM.. UGH! Had to be up at 3AM to make it there....I'm so ready for bed right now. But it was well worth it. Anyway, we actually made it into Jenkinson's (the restaurant where the radio guys were set up) about 6:45ish. I nudged my way for about the 1st 1/2 hour to get as close as possible. But there were so many people there (6-7,000ish reported by about 9AM), that we were like sardines. Couldn't really see much but could hear everything great. Even though I'm a loyal listener to Scott & Todd, I couldn't stand it waiting to hear when Melissa would show up! Finally the first mention about 7:30 said "Up next, we talk with Melissa Etheridge." A low roar of excitement through the crowd......... Had to wait for some commercials, etc. I was itching to get a view, but couldn't figure out where the "stage" was. Then someone squished next to me said it was "behind that wall". Bummer! Now... what to do...... think... think.... While I was thinking, I hear something about welcoming Melissa Etheridge! Now I'm sweating! I have to get a better view. The good part is I brought along my new Mini DV camcorder, so I stick it up in the air and start recording. Got her! She had just sat down and put on the earphones. Okay... she's sitting with the guys and chatting. Getting it on tape too. Feeling better now... She talked about how it's been awhile since she's done this. Only a song or two here and there, but she's happy to be performing again. Oh, and the album is definitely called Breakdown. She finally committed to that title. They commented on the new hair too. After the chit chat, Scott and Todd joke about how they "just happened" to have a stage all set up and ready for her "just in case". Damn! I was thinking she'd be doing it by them since it was just acoustic and I had that "sort of" good view (through my camcorder anyway ). Oh no! She's getting up and panic sets in again! She's going behind that dreaded wall!! So I grab Jessie (my daughter) and say - "We're goin' in!" So we pretend we need to get out and mosey our way through the hoards of sardines (aka people) and get to the other side of the wall. She's already into CTMW, but I find a spot by the bar and throw the camcorder up again. Yes! I now have my spot and I'm not moving. It wasn't the greatest view if I didn't have my camera, but I was happy. Oh, before she started CTMW, the guys announced her birthday was tomorrow and started the crowd in a rousing Happy Birthday to Melissa. Everyone around us was intrigued by the camera and kind of helped me get good views. :-) I must say, my arms are still killing me! Imagine holding your arms totally outstretched for a good 1/2 hour and trying to get a good image. My arms were trembling by the second song. People kept joking... is it getting heavy yet?? I knew while doing it, it would be a bit shaky, but it was just for the memories for me anyway. I had to bring it down after each song to bring the blood back down to my fingers, so I missed a bit of the talking between songs. (We just finished watching it - it's definitely shaky, won't win any awards, but still fun to watch. The good part is the audio!... more later) Several times I was bumped, pushed, etc... which doesn't lend to good video. After CTMW, she sang 2 new songs. Someone help me on the first. Angel something.? But I think the second was called Ain't That Enough. They were both pretty and singable, but I was hoping for something really rockin'. Good chorus on the 2nd one - catchy with feeling. Unfortunately and pretty annoying was when she was losing the crowd a bit during the new songs. On the tape you can hear where the talking picks up since they can't sing along. Come on people, just listen and enjoy! Then the funny part. She sets up for the last song, ITOO, starts singing and starts with the Wrong Verse! Everyone is singing right along - even with the wrong verse, but she realizes and stops. Jokes about it and starts over. She was strong on this one and the crowd was again happily singing along. :-) So Melissa says goodbye, stops for a few photo ops with the PLJ guys and goes off to who knows where. We hung around a bit for some more of the PLJ show, then decided to hang out on the beach awhile. Had to go out to the car for chairs, and beach stuff. On the way out... to my surprise, Melissa was just leaving. Only about 10 people waiting to catch a glimpse. I was surprised she kind of kept her head down as they hurried her into a black van. It wasn't like she'd be mobbed or anything. They should have let her at least wave and say hi or something. Okay, so about the audio. It's also digital, so I'm working on turning it into some MP3's. Mom has a better system and a CD-R so she said she'll do it all for me on Sunday (my birthday, btw). I'll post to the list when I get them up on the web for those interested. I'll be doing the 2 new songs and ITOO, since I missed the first verse of CTMW. Before writing this I checked email and saw the announcement about Irving Plaza. Darn! Of course it's too late now to order tickets. Anyone know if they'll still be available on Monday? I'm still disappointed about not being picked for the MEIN thing. I would have been happy to buy the tix to IP. Oh well... Whew! That was long. Anyone else on the list who attended (Amy, Krrazy?) have anything to add to today's fun at the beach?

FINALLY!!!! I got to see Melissa perform live. She sounds so great in person. I've always hated it when singers sound terrible when they perform live but not her. :-) (Like you needed me to tell you that) It was worth every minute of standing in the cold at 4 AM. Even though I really wanted to be there at 3, probably wouldn't have made too much of a difference. They were lining up at midnight to get in. If I had known that, I might have tried to get there even earlier. :-) Where DID all those sleeping bags and blankets end up anyway? :-) As it was, I think I still was in the top 250 to get there and I ended up about 7 to 8 rows away from her. Didn't have the lucky number for the car though :-( I had number 248 and gave it away when I had to leave. So, to the un-named individual that I gave it to, sorry it didn't win! To answer someone's question of how many people showed up, the number that was given was about 7000 people. Probably 6000 left after Melissa finished her set. :-) I wanted to shout out to the line to ask who was from the mailing list to say hi but I forgot. Oh well. As to what she was wearing, I couldn't see her from the waist down except that her pants looked black. She made a comment about being the only one wearing suede at the beach, so I guess the pants were suede, but those standing closer than I would be a better judge of what she wore. She could have gone up there wearing a burlap sack for all I cared. I just wanted to hear and see her SING!!! :-) When we started singing Happy Birthday, she seemed touched. Someone gave her a balloon animal and she jokingly said it looked rather obscene. She also pointed out a drawing someone made of her (which I could see) and also of someone's tattoo (which I couldn't) Jeez, I went through all that turmoil last week about calling in late for work to go see her and I didn't even need to. She finished up at about 8 to 8:15 and I actually got to work EARLIER than usual. What a perfect way to start the day! Can't wait to do it again. :-) Deanna ****************************************************************** 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, 29 May 1999 00:28:58 -0400 From: "S.

MLE has expressed her concerns in her recent chats about access to her now that she's a mother. i don't know...if someone were to tattoo my face on their body, i might be freaked out, too. > Before writing this I checked email and saw the announcement about > Irving Plaza.

The formerly prolific singer-songwriter has been busy raising two children -- a 3-year-old daughter and a son born in 1998 to Etheridge's partner, director Julie Cypher. Etheridge recently completed her sixth album. The disc, which has yet to be titled, hits the bins Oct. 4. In the meantime, Etheridge fans eager for some of the energetic performer's bluesy rock can catch the tunesmith this morning at Jenkinson's on the Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, where Etheridge will render an acoustic set between the ungodly hours of 6 and 10 a.m. Etheridge and her fans are rising early because the free show -- which also features The Knack -- is being presented by WPLJ morning team Scott and Todd. The station is kicking off the summer with live performances, a broadcast and a car giveaway. According to an Island Records representative, Etheridge will probably be previewing a few tunes from her forthcoming album. There's no doubt that much of the plucky performer's canon will be presented. "I always love playing the old songs," Etheridge said during a 1996 interview in support of her last album, "Your Little Secret." "You have to give the fans what they want. It's obvious that they want to hear the early stuff." Etheridge established herself 11 years ago with her eponymous debut album. The disc is full of potent confessional folk tunes. The powerful "Bring Me Some Water" earned Etheridge acclaim while she worked the bar circuit. The following year, Etheridge tossed a curve ball to her fans. The disc, "Brave and Crazy," is full of reflective numbers such as "My Back Door" and "Let Me Go." The disc won Etheridge a solid fan base, which she cultivated with an extensive tour. In 1992 Etheridge recorded "Never Enough," a slick album full of guitar rock. Nothing on the disc is as visceral as "Bring Me Some Water," but such tracks as the catchy "Ain't It Heavy," and the hook laden "2001," earned airplay. Etheridge's diverse audience expanded just after the release of 1993's "Yes I Am." Three of the tracks cracked the Top 10. Those numbers -- "I'm the Only One," "Come to My Window" and "If I Wanted To" -- catapulted Etheridge to star status. By 1996 Etheridge was playing arenas thanks to the success of her 1995 release, "Your Little Secret." The fiery rocker "I Want to Come Over" became a radio staple. By autumn Etheridge will be back on the road with an extensive tour supporting her forthcoming album.

I shot a roll of stills with my camera raised - I'm still hoping I got something. I was wearing my purple T but didn't see any others (of course I couldn't get behind "the wall") I guess hitting the road at 3AM wasn't good enough. Next time I'll be ready. Melissa was incredible. The second new song she sang "Enough of Me" is still going through my head. I can't remember the words but man, what a voice! Can't wait for Breakdown and especially can't wait to see her on Thursday(I got mine) btw, radio anouncers reported that Melissa told whoever was driving her to the airport that the audience was pretty incredible:-) Roseann ****************************************************************** 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, 30 May 1999 08:22:48 -0700 From: Alice Subject: *etheridge* Alma Awards Hello Everyone I have searched the net trying to find something to confirm that Melissa will be on the Alma Awards scheduled to air this thursday June 3, on ABC at 8 pm (pacific time). She is not specifically mentioned in any article I have found on the net, however they are using her pic in commercials for the program.

Standing behind her came in handy though, because her camcorder was one of those with the little screen to look at so when my view was blocked by someone I just would look at the camcorder. :-) Deanna ****************************************************************** 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, 30 May 1999 12:10:32 -0500 From: "Patti Fink" Subject: *etheridge* Curve - May 99 I've been traveling so much these past months and my PC at home died (got a screamin' meemie now though! ), so I guess I haven't been keeping up very well recently....if anyone's already posted this, well, here's a complimentary dupe! ;) May 99 issue of Curve, page 41: "Melissa Etheridge got bumped by Brittany Murphy (best known as Tai, Alicia Silverstone's best friend in *Clueless*) to play Janis Joplin in the upcoming feature film about the hard-living, hard-rocking musician who went to the Big-Show-In-The-Sky at the tender age of 26. Melissa, who reportedly has finished an entire album, got jacked again when her record company, Island, sank into the deep end of the giant merger pool. Polygram, like a big fish in a little pond, gulped up the guppy Island and now Melissa's album is on ice." Soooo glad this is old news!! New album's finally locked down with a name and a release date...wooohooOOooo! Rhondda brought up the OLA (one-letter acronym) issue around how we refer to "Breakdown" now. Seems we've had a few song titles along the way too -- Testify, Change...heaven forbid we use an "R" with Ruins *and* Resist (on the same album, no less) But those were reasonable to type out in full...what's 5 or 6, or even 7 letters?....but now we've got a whoppin' *9*!! Can we handle it?!? We successfully managed to eliminate the confusion and *16*-letter tedium of the eponymous first album (halved but still a lot o'letters)....perhaps we should wait for the new release and check out the cover design before we attempt a solution ;) ...but by then we'll all have already acclimated to the 9-letter thing :/ ;) Patti :) ****************************************************************** 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, 30 May 1999 12:11:31 -0500 From: "Patti Fink" Subject: *etheridge* 'After Stonewall' premiere in Dallas The Guide in Friday's (5/28/99) *The Dallas Morning News* notes this at the top of page 8 under "Repertory Films": - ----------------- After Stonewall - From the Riots to the Millennium (1999) This PBS film, a sequel to *Before Stonewall*, chronicles the gay and lesbian movement since the 1969 Stonewall riots, triggered by a police raid on a New York gay bar.

About 6 fans, including myself and then gf, stood for 45+ minutes waiting for her to come out. She blew right by us and said "Sorry, too cold to sign anything" Apparently she didnt give a hoot that we had stood there for 45 minutes.

Can't wait to hear about it when you return. I must admit-I'm a late bloomer of Melissa's music. I was introduced to her music in early 97 and loved it since. I guess I missed out on all the fun. (Concerts, special appearances, the whole kit and caboodle) but after reading articles, web pages, the MEIN network, both books on Melissa, (GREAT JOB JOYCE LUCK) I feel like I was there in the front roll seat. I'm bound and determined to attend one of her concerts this year. I want to feel the power that everyone talks about when she performs live. I'm still hiding in that small place we call the closet but the more her music touches me inside, I think I'm slowly coming out. Also, I wanted to thank those who post often for all the wonderful news about Melissa. This is a very wonderful group. Remember, be safe and have tons of fun..... P.S. Can't wait until MLE comes to Michigan. Even though she's far away, we all love her here too. Looking forward to seeing her at the Palace. ~Toodles~Julie ****************************************************************** 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 #95 ******************************
