Did a search on her on CDNow, found a bunch of stuff..and clicked on the 'store'. It took me back to the home page I want to take one of the awesome .gifs I found on the 'net and get a shirt made.... but I don't want to take anything from her. She's still 'struggling', and I don't want to bootleg a woman who is trying Pax, Apryl apryl@mail-me.com - ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1998 00:36:24 -0400 From: Michael Yarbrough Subject: For the discography Holly Palmer, _Holly Palmer_ Reprise 46281-2 "Come Lie with Me" and "Lickerish Man" Me'Shell NdegeOcello--Bass I know there are more out there--anyone have them so Apryl can build the list? - --Michael NP: Bruce Cockburn, "A Dream Like Mine" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1998 22:25:11 -0700 From: Mike Theiss Subject: Funny Me'shell T-shirt story.... >Please let me know if I can buy teeshirts, hats, or something to put on >my body with Me'Shell's face on it.

Most of the shows I've been to had nothing for sale. Though when I saw her in 1996 one of her crew members was wearing a beautiful Peace Before Passion shirt! I happen to be the proud owner of a Me'shell NdegeOcello shirt, though for the most part I can't even WEAR the thing, or at least have to be extremely cautious when I do.... (don't even ask though, it's not for sale.....) I bought this shirt at the first show I saw her play which was here in Seattle in 1994. The front side of the shirt has the "no stereotypes" logo with the crossed out nappy headed cartoon caricature on it (pictured inside the cd booklet of "Plantation Lullabies". The back of the shirt says "Me'shell NdegeOcello" written in the same font used on the first album's cover. Why can't I wear it??? Well, I'm white --- so people don't quite get the symbol if I wear it. It gets perceived as a racist symbol if I wear it. So I have to wear the shirt backwards with something over it covering my back, else I get all sorts of funny looks. (I walked out of the show with it on, not even thinking about how it'd be perceived and had a weird confrontation with a black man that thought I was a skinhead or something....) Don't have time to try and explain that sort of thing to people on a daily basis, and so when it's hot I just don't wear the shirt. Sometimes I wear it around the house if I know I'm not gonna go anywhere though. - --Mike ------------------------------ End of god-shiva-digest V1 #9 *****************************
