[Riphug ] Re: (harbinger) cryptic names and messages ["Steve Bornstein" Subject: (harbinger) Paula phones Sarah-Jane Article Hi ya. Thanks a lot to whoever sent the Rolling Stone article-can't wait until it hits the news stands. That was rad. And knowing how much i appreciated thatpost, here's the Paula/Sarah article from the May issue of Jane mag. (yup,it's the one with Halle Berry on the cover). Jane is a fairchild publicationgeared towards the 20-something fashion junkie/hipster...it's a good magazine.They seem to recoginze when a model is really skinny ("she's just like that,ok") but as you know, all magazines like that promote a screwed-up ideal offeminine beauty and societal norms. Buy the magazine for the article and theclothes-but cringe when they tell you what your aesthetic ideals should be... Sorry about the type-o's!!! "Paula Cole phones Sarah McLachlan (we tap the line)" (2-page b/w photo spread of Paula reclining in a sunlit room on the 1st pagesof the article. On the 2nd pages of the article, smaller sarah pic and quote on one page, smaller paula pic and quote on opposing page.) "eavesdropping on paula cole and sarah mclachlan Paula Cole had just won a Grammy for Best New Artist, so it was only appropriate that she phoned up double Grammy-winner (and Lilith Fair high priestess) Sarah McLachlan, who took Paula on a pre-Lilith tour when she was nobody and helped make her a star. It was inappropriate that we listened, but what the hell. Why Sarah gave Paula her big break Sarah: I was trying to remember the other day, um, when did we first meet? Paula: It was the San Francisco show and your Fumbling Towards Ecstasy tour,and I remember that was the first show and- S: I probably had my head up my butt. P: It was sold out, and I just remember feeling a little nervous 'cause I-Iwas just feeling extremely thankful, you know, that I had the opportunity todo it. I really needed a break at that time because my record company had gone down the tubes, and I couldn't find my record anywhere. And then you just organically belived in the music. So I was nervous and I remember coming off stage, and you and your entire band and crew were stage left, applauding. I thought it was so sweet and supportive and kind, and I was kind of blown awayby that. S: It was [for] totally selfish reasons. I heard your music and actually saw you live in Boulder, Colo., and you were absolutely amazing - really powerfuland passionate. I just thought that I'd love to get you up there and hear your music every night. Whether touring sucks P: My mom says it's like I've gone off to war, that she never sees me, and I'm sure from her perspective it is like that. It's just wildly intense. You go unsupported emotionally for long periods of time -months or years- without seeing your family or your close freinds, or maybe you see ther person you're having a relationship with once a month. It forces you to become more stoic,more kind of spiritually strong in your nomadicism. But that is good, too. I find that in the end, I love my independence. In the end I'm not afaid of it,and I need it; I actually crave the road after a while. So it has both things. As you know, I'm not married, but I have a major person. He doesn't usuallycome along because he has so much of his own life, but occasionally, here and there. S: But Paula, you're coming to Lilith this summer, aren't ya, darlin'? P: Yeah, a couple of weeks, yeah. S: Excellent. Om P: You can do yoga anywhere, any hotel room; lay down a sheet or some towels.I find it keeps me flexible, and it just helps my life - everything from my posture to my diet to more positive thinking to humility... S: I gotta get into that. P: It's really life-changing. It's wonderful. The Lilith forecast S: Well, let's see. the first week, which is actually the only fully confirmed, check's-in-the-mail kind of jobby is: myself, Natalie Mercahnt,Sheryl Crow, the Indigo Girls, Sinead O'Connor, Erykah Badu...I think Missy Elliot's confirmed for sure, as well as [for] later in the month; and you.It's been easier all around. It's been easier not only with the artists - the artists were never really a problem....There was a lot of hesitance from labels or managers, or maybe promoters and stuff - but definitely this year it's been much, much easier to get people intersted in it. I mean, it's areally pretty darn friendly and uncompetitive environment, to the point wherethe Indigo Girls and Sheryl Crow were going, "Oh, we both really want these dates," and the Indigo Girls were all, "Well, Sheryl, you can go second- to-last this night, and how about we go second-to-last the next night?"Everybody's really into making whatever everyone else wants work. To Lilith's critics S: At this point, fuck off. I have very little patitence left anymore in discussing what Lilith isn't. I'm walking a hard line because I'm the representative for it. And when I'm face-to-face with interviews and I get asked the question, it's always, "Why isn't it more like this..." And that'smy own thing that I have to deal with - not to see the negative side of the question but to turn it into soemthing positive; just like you were saying,Paula. P: Yeah, i was really pissed off the first time when we [nominees Paula,Sarah, and Shawn Colvin] all had to play together [in a Lilith-y medley] at the Grammys. We want the world to acknowledge us as artists, regardless of gender. But I always have to take the higher road, because I know in 20 yearsif I'm looking back, I'll know that negativity never brought me anywhere....That minute and a half did me more good than I could have possibly imagined. S: But sometimes early in the morning, you're just not as diplomatic as you should be. Give us a break! And then they go, "Oh, my God, you're certainly jaded, aren't you?" It's like, I'm more fucking jaded to have to get up at 8 in the morning and talk to you, the day after the Grammys....[Laughter] Free stuff now! S: I got baby booties handed to me a couple times. I did The Rosie O'DonnellShow six months ago, or something like that. We were talking about having kids, you know; eventually iI really want to have children. She gave me a baby book with 3,001 baby names or whatever, and that prompted a lot of people to think that I was actually pregnant already. P: I thought you were. My dad told me you were pregnant, 'cause he got it wrong. I get lots of flowers, which is wonderful. Yeah, lots of notes, personal notes. I'm sure you get the same, Sarah - letters of how songs are really meanigful and how they touched their lives. Sometimes it really helps them through really difficult times. I don't even attach it to my ego. That's the music, you know? I am in service to the music. It's so wonderful that the music can move mountains like that. I've gotten instruments. I got an Autoharp. S: Really? That's nice. P: Yeah, that is nice. When I was on Rosie, Kermit the Frog came up, and I getKermit the Frogs now. I'm your biggest fan P: Remember, Sarah, we were in the room with Stevie Wonder? S: Oh, yeah. That was so cool. P: It was during rehersal for the Grammys, and he walked offstage into the side room where he had electric keyborards. Because, you know, music really is his primary language. And he just sat down and started jamming with Wyclef Jean. Stevie's left hadn plays the most soulful bass lines, and his right hand plays the most beautiful kind of jazz, improvised melodies. All I could do was be quiet and hang my head. I couldn't even introduce myself to him, as much as I wanted to. I kind of hung my head in humility as I listened to him.There are actually very few people I crave to meet, you know? Well, I met one. I met Aretha at the awards. The 5-things-on-a-desert-island question P: Things, not CDs? S: A "thing" doesn't constitute a dog or person, then: Oh, this is too wide open...My guitar. My husband, my dog...a knife. I've got to cut things up,right? I have to be practical somewhere in there. [Paula laughs] Let's see...matches are pretty boring because they'd run out pretty quick anyway.Let me think. P: I'd definitely bring my man and my piano. S: Oh, great, so you take the piano, okay. P: And my cats, Max and Lila. S: Well, I have to bring my two cats, too, then - Shala and Simba. I guess I'mkind of over my limit now. P: Maybe some reefer. [Laughs] If we keep it light. S: And some seeds so we can grow th rest of it. I'm afraid I have to run offto my next interview. P: Okay. Hey, Sarah, you take care, all right? S: You, too, my dear. I love you. P: Hold you head high, up there on the road. - -Phone-tapping by bill Van Evol" That's it. Paula is fantasticaly eloquent and articulate. I guess that's what i love about her music. I'm sad that Paula's not going to play PHX for either HORDE or Lilith...That means I'll have to trek it up to Salt Lake...What's up? I feel like a dead-head...touring the US for the music...oy. It'll be cool to see Lilith twice. I'm stoked about the tour plus, I've GOT to see Paula. You lucky east-coast-ers, you! I can't wait!

I don't know for sure but my guess is that April 26 was the day that Paula (if indeed she is writing a true and personal story) and John (if that's really his name) shared their first intimate encounter. Just my opinion, but that does seem to be the theme of the song - her first love. > and speaking of cryptic letters, i can't tell you how long it >takes me to figure out what song people are talking about when they >abbreviate, for example WHATCG or IDWTW. I always sit here going "nerr >whaa??? ...*five years later*, OHHH!!!!" *smack me upside the head* > >katie > Yeah, me too. I'm still wondering what BAM is. You know, it only takes one more letter to type "Cowboys" than "WHATCG". Clarity is a good thing, worth practicing. Of course, sometimes a little mystery makes things intriguing . . . BTW - My guess about "ILML" is it stands for "I love my life."
