Please let's keep this to entertainment. I need the escape. But if you don't believe that there is incredible amounts of hypocrisy going on read the following news item off of the wire............... Rep. Hyde Admits Affair in '60s By LARRY MARGASAK .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (Sept. 16) - Rep. Henry Hyde, the House member leading the impeachment review of President Clinton, admitted Wednesday to ''indiscretions'' with a woman in the 1960s at a time both were married. The Judiciary Committee chairman issued a statement responding to a story in Salon Magazine, which detailed an affair with a woman identified as Cherie Snodgrass. The Illinois Republican called the article ''an obvious attempt to intimidate me'' and vowed that it would not affect any impeachment proceeding. In a memo this week to Judiciary Committee members, Hyde warned that ''some supporters of the president, possibly including White House staff, may be attempting to collect and disseminate derogatory personal information about members of Congress, particularly those serving on the House Judiciary Committee.'' The memo added that efforts to intimidate lawmakers or interfere with their official duties would violate U.S. criminal law. White House press secretary Mike McCurry said the White House was not connected with the story in any way and has made it clear that anyone who peddled such information would be fired. ''People here are livid that it would even be suggested we were a source of the information and livid if anyone here attempted to the be the source of that information. It is the last thing we need at this moment,'' he said. Hyde's statement said, ''The statute of limitations has long since passed on my youthful indiscretions. Suffice it to say, Cherie Snodgrass and I were good friends a long, long time ago. After Mr. Snodgrass confronted my wife, the friendship ended and my marriage remained intact.'' Last week a conservative Republican, Rep. Helen Chenoweth of Idaho, admitted she was wrong to have a long-term affair with a married man more than a decade ago. Ms. Chenoweth has sought Clinton's resignation since April because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. And earlier this month Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., who is conducting a campaign fund-raising investigation of Clinton, admitted that he fathered a child in an extramarital affair. Hyde told a closed House Republican caucus Wednesday that lawmakers should be alert to investigations of their personal life, according to sources at the meeting who spoke only on condition of anonymity. He contended that allies of the president have hired two law firms to investigate Republicans. The Salon story said Hyde had a five-year sexual relationship with a woman named Cherie Snodgrass, and the magazine has a picture of a woman - identified as Ms. Snodgrass - sitting on Hyde's lap. The affair was carried on from 1965 to 1969. Hyde was 41 when the affair began and Ms. Snodgrass was 12 years younger, the story said. Salon quoted the woman's former husband, Fred Snodgrass, as saying the affair destroyed his marriage. The editors of Salon, an Internet publication, said they decided to run the Hyde story because ''Clinton's enemies have changed the rules. ''Does the fact that Henry Hyde engaged in an adulterous affair, and tried to keep it hidden from his family and constituents, mean he is not fit to hold public office? Absolutely not. And the same is true of President Clinton,'' the editors said. bathing in my own self indulgence.............fred ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 07:26:31 -0400 From: Michael Stevens Subject: lux vivens In ecto digest #331, th'woj appended: > n.p. jocelyn montgomery -- lux vivens Oo!

Also, Susan's got a new web site at http://www.susanwerner.com WERNER GETS ON BOARD BOTTOM LINE WITH 'TRAINS' BY EILEEN FITZPATRICK LOS ANGELES - In an industry that loves to put artists into categories, Susan Werner is one singer/songwriter who's tough to peg. On her latest release, "Time Between Trains", due Tuesday (15) in the US and Canada from start-up indie label Bottom Line Records, Werner shifts easily from the folky title track to the jazz-inspired "Montgomery Street," which features a heavy bassline and muted trumpets that would be at home on a film noir thriller soundtrack. "This record is parked at the corner of Joan Baez and Cassandra Wilson," says the Philadelphia-based songstress. "It's more of an old-time jazz record than today's pop, which has the desire to perfect every track instead of looking for the emotional level of each song." Werner says she wanted to capture the production style of Norman Granz, one of the best-known jazz producers of the '50s and '60s, who produced many of Verve Records' greatest artists, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. (continued on page 109) WERNER GETS ON BOARD BOTTOM LINE WITH 'TRAINS' (Continued from page 11) "He captured the whole performer and really got what happened over the course of a five-minute recording session," she says, "and that's what we were trying to get with this recording." It's not surprising that Werner leans towards the classics: She has a master's in classical music from Philadelphia's Temple University. Familiar folk themes of betrayal, lost loves and facing life's crossroads are well-represented on "Time Between Trains", but Werner also throws in the breezy "Petaluma Afternoons" and the jazzy rap "Bring Round the Boat". This is Werner's fourth album and the first under her new deal with Bottom Line, which is distributed by BMG Distribution in Canada, and various indies throughout the rest of the world. Her 1995 effort, "Last of the Good Straight Girls," on Private Music, sold 22,000 units, according to SoundScan. She also self-released "Midwestern Saturday Night" in 1991 and "Live At Tin Angel" in 1993. Throughout the last five years, Werner has played more than 200 dates a year with established artists such as Richard Thompson and Joan Armatrading. And although she had three albums to her credit, Bottom Line was more impressed with her live performance resume. "Our whole philosopy is to sign acts that are out there doing it," says Bottom Line co-founder/president Hank Medress. "If I heard a great tape, we [still] wouldn't sign them until we heard them live. Medress says Werner's ability to "win over" an audience is her strongest asset. "She's a funny person, and her timing is excellent," says Medress. "She makes you feel like she's sitting in your living room - it's that intimate a performance." Because of Werner's strong performance abilities, Bottom Line's strategy for the new album is clear: tour, tour, tour. She is booked on a six-month tour swing that kicked off at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in Schwenksville, Pa., last month and winds down in Dallas in mid-January. Her booking agent is Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Fleming-Tamulevich, which also hands Ani DiFranco and Dar Williams. She is managed by Larry Goldfarb and Rich Cohen at Philadelphia-based Golden Guru Entertainment. "The most important thing is that we don't expect to sell a million units or even 100,000 units," says Medress. "We're about staying with the artist and building the audience." Bottom Line has used the same strategy with Canadian band Moxy Fruvous, which after years of touring is ready to "Break", according to Medress. The label has signed only one other artist, Veda Hille, another Canadian who Medress says "makes Tori Amos seem calm." Triple-A and noncommercial radio will be courted, and as Werner's fan base expands, the label hopes she will cross over into other formats. Werner already has caught the ear of WFUV New York Music director Rita Houston, who has supported the singer since her first album. "A lot of times a singer/songwriter is defined as someone up there with a guitar," says Houston, "but Susan has many more elements than just an acoustic guitar. There's a certain freshness to what she does, and sh'es an artist who has the potential to reach a wider audience." Werner's previous album bodes well for the new set, some retailers say. "Her last album did really well," says Newbury Comics buyer Carl Mello. "We put in a medium-sized buy for the new one and will feature it in our new-release section at our $11.88 sale pricing." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 00:42:29 -0400 From: meredith Subject: tori on leno Hi! Okay, so I just had the pleasure of seeing two of my personal goddesses on the same television show, and I must say I'm rather giddy. Tori Amos did a nice version of "Jackie's Strength" (cutting out the middle verse like she did on Conan O'Brien a few weeks back). Her speaking voice sounded pretty ragged, though - how long is the tour going on, again? :/ Yes, Jay Leno actually spoke to the musical guest, for more than thirty seconds. And said musical guest actually interacted with the other goddess on the stage, Xena herself, Lucy Lawless, which totally cracked me up. I was interested to note that this was the first time I've seen Lucy Lawless on a talk show where she didn't get the biggest ovation. Tori's Ears With Feet clearly far outnumbered the Xenites in the audience (though I'd wager there was at least some crossover there :). At the beginning, when Leno came out on stage and shook hands with the crowd right up front, I noticed a *lot* of Tori t-shirts in the group. So now it's way past time for me to go to bed. I just had to share my joy with you all. (Does anyone know how one goes about getting tickets to tapings of Saturday Night Live? Lucy Lawless is going to be hosting on October 17th, and if the universe presents another convergence of host and musical guest like last year when Sarah Michelle Gellar hosted and Portishead did the music, I'll just *have* to be there.) +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V4 #332 **************************
