Paula Coles song "Where have all the cowboy's gone" was originally suppose to be on her first album but was dropped because the producers has reservations about the song. So it is interesting that her most commercial effort was penned and recorded prior to any commercial success.

I know a lot of people like seeing lists of what is on people's CD players but, well, a lot of people don't and I think Richard was just saying that, in his experience (as it's been in mine), the intent is to just tack on what you're listening to at the time of your post. It's no big deal if you want to post simply what's on your stereo but my goodness, don't jump on him for having stated what he believed to be the point of the thing. With all due respect (catch phrase of this thread?), I'm with him- I don't care to read everyone's posts about what they're listening to but I'm not going to get all bent out of shape about it- that's what the delete button is for.

It didn't look too good, so I didn't try to get in before the show started, since that didn't look like it would happen. But I did come back later after meeting a friend elsewhere for drinks and weasel my way in. My impressions were as follows: Patty's band is made up of hot high school football heroes Patty wants to make a dent in the music industry before she gets too old, and this is why she's touring with full band... I am sure she knows that just her and the guitar is her most pure, powerful form, however, one could hardly blame her for wanting to attract a larger fan base and break into the mainstream. I for one hope that she does, and believe she's poised on the threshold of stardom. She is very cute He guitar player was hot, and very taken The songs may have lost some of their power and specialness, but she's been around longer than Jewel and knows that if she wants to make her mark, and take the music industry by storm, then why not? I like the solo thing better myself, but I am very much looking forward to FLAMING RED. I got a tape of some snippets of songs from FLAMING RED--One BIg Love, Change, Christina (One Big Love was the only full song...the others were snippets), and I really think I will like the album a lot. "Christina" is a gorgeus song. "Mary" is very haunting. Well, bye y'all.... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 09:19:15 -0500 From: Mark Cicero Subject: Re: MM: WHO DIED AND MADE YOU BOSS -Reply My experience with email lists of this nature are that they are (or should be) self regulating. I don't want anybody telling me what to say and how to say it, or where to put it when I say it. If a particular thread finds some interest then it will generate a fair number of responses, if it doesn't then it will die a quick death. I have no patients for control freaks. Sorry If I seem a little hostile this morning but it's Monday. I guess I should listen to a little LWG to soothe my soul.

And if I was even worthy of such honest friendship. My only answer was "yes! Of course I am worthy." You see, I believe in the whole "there is a reason for everything" philosophyit has never steered me wrong. And when I broke down friendship into the beginnings of what it really is, man such a smile came on my face. If a person is on this earth, alive, then he or she is totally worthy of being here. I mean, why else would this person be alive? And what is life, really? What is humanity? It's not something that can be described (never completely defined, as the definition changes person to person) from below itselfit's something that can really be attained by funneling down from all that is above itself. Break life down. Not into skin and bones and hair, but into time. And soul. And mind. And thought. And love. It's a creation. An expression. Something that is determined by love, or else the word creation really wouldn't exist. Man, what a beautiful thought. Life plays itself out over a period of time, and in that time so much can happen. But one thing that remains constant, in the true sense of life (not the trivialities of today or even of Thursday, where people tend to concern themselves with the silly stuff that can be burned in a fire or exchanged for credit on a Visa or scribbled down in a resume), is that love is the determinant-whether you choose to acknowledge its presence and fulfill your responsibility to it or whether you choose to deny its presence and only see in black-and-white-tunnel-vision. Is love something that can really be understood by and through this lifeform? Not completely. Perhaps its enigmatic quality is what makes it such a thread. It can't be completely comprehended, because it's something which has funneled down into this life with the form of feet and hands and teeth and tears and humans. The whole of love, in all its limitlessness, can't be intimately comprehended. But it can be understood and attained and stomached when its broken down, somehow, into its partssort of like having the circus come to town and looking through the holes in the high wooden fence because you don't have enough money to buy your entrance ticket. But the funny thing is that even though you have a glimpse of it from many different angles, from many different "holes in the wall," and even though you get a sense so strong inside you of what it's all about, you still don't have that feeling of standing right in the middle of it. One of these partsone of the most basic and obvious "peeping holes"-is friendship. It shouldn't ask questions of worthiness. Because the answer is always "yes"if it were "no" then friendship would not be a part of life and, thus, would not be a part of a person's vocabulary and mental comprehension. But the cool thing about friendship-when taken to its fullest sense-is that with two people peeping through the hole, your heads bump, and neither of you can see. But there are two people thereso you can give each other a better view by hoisting each other up on your shoulders so you can see over this high wall separating you from what you should be standing smack-dab in the center of. And you take turns carrying each other. And then you can talk about what it is you see. Isn't this all so cool? A beautiful thought, indeed. Thanks all for hoisting me up and giving me vision love you all stephanie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 13:02:31 -0400 From: Amy_Emerman@time-inc.com Subject: MM: Katell Keineg Is playing tomorrow night at the MErcury Lounge at 10PM.

I'm in total agreement with you though. Methinks some people take these lists too too seriously, and stand ready to jump down one's throat if they deem a post "not appropriate". NP: "Exile on Main Street" - the Stones best, in my opinion "Sweet Old World" - Lucinda Williams "Mortal City" - Dar Williams Well, technically these are not playing, since I'm at work and my CD player is at home, but they ARE in my CD player.

I saw her Saturday night at St. Ann's in Brooklyn, and I've been a fan of hers for about 3 years. She has two excellent albums out, O Seasons, O Castles, which leans a bit more towards traditional "folk" music and last year's JET, which is more diverse musically and even more genius, I think. Live she is very intense as well, with a great voice and a tight band. Definitely check it out if you are into the whole chick singer songwriter genre that Patty falls into. For more info, there's a great site dedicated to her at http://www.users.interport.net/~slambert/katell.html But it is DEFINITELY worth it to go see her at Mercury!

Hi folks :-) Just wanted to announce that the news version of this list is now up and running! :-) I want to again stress that this is just a *brand new* list....it is NOT replacing either the loose mail version of mad-mission, nor the digest version. Those two versions will live on unchanged. This NEWS version is for those folks who just want the news type posts from the mad-mission list. How it will work is that I will simply send on to mad-mission-news any posts that are of a Patty Griffin news nature. If you have a post of a news nature, just send it to mad-mission@smoe.org as usual, it will not be necessary to send it to the news list separately. (It would bounce to me for approval anyway) I also recommend the news version of this list to all digest subscribers, as the news posts will be separate emails and will "stick out". "OK Mike, enough with the sales job.....how do we subscribe??" Easy.....in the BODY of an email, send the following two line command subscribe end to mad-mission-news-request@smoe.org Of course, as THIS list is generally slow (generally, not lately of course ;-) the NEWS version will most certainly be slow....not too many posts per week. Please note, all posts FROM mad-mission-news will have a subject leading off with PattyG-News: If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
