Or something to that effect? Does anyone who was there remember? I certainly remember her talking about the red shoes. When someone posted about the Red Shoes fairy tale some weeks ago, I thought of it immediately. I think I remember her talking about a photo shoot in NYC, too, and that the shoes were a gift from someone involved in the shoot. - -Matt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 17:59:08 -0400 (EDT) From: "Stephen V.

Gilmore" Subject: Re: MM: Matt's coments Most commercial radio stations play music as a loss leader to saturate your ears with commercials. The FCC and FTC should investigate to see if commercial radio stations are really advertising delivery devices. For real art, try non-commercial radio, and programs such as PBS' Austin City Limits.

I wasn't attacking Pattys music as much as I was attacking the industry and how it works. The point someone brought up about the music standing on its own is my point exactly. There are WAY too many "artists" making big bucks and saturating the airwaves because of the cost and effort their record companies were willing to sink into the video. Big production videos in my opinion TAKE AWAY the credibility of the music, or at least taint it. Picture this, someone from A&M decides Patty should do a video for OBL and be as sexual and provocative as TV will allow. Now folks are talking about what a "hot" chick she is and what a sexy video she has and what gets lost? The song, thats what. Think it doesn't happen? 2 words, Spice Girls or Shanaynay Twain. Very little talent, megastars. For all intensive purposes, Flaming Red IS Pattys debut album, and I pray that "instant" stardom (if it happens) doesn't get Patty stuck in a rut giving people what she thinks they want to hear, rather than writing from heart. FR is a pretty good first effort. There are a couple songs I think don't do her justice, a couple that I think are incredible, and a few that I think will grow on me. Here's wishing Patty success and hoping she stays true to herself.................amen ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 21:03:59 -0500 From: Kuhl Subject: MM: my thoughts on FR Well like everyone else on the list i picked up FR on Tues. I've been listening to at alot and i really really dig it....when i 1st bought it and listened to it in my car i enjoyed Flaming Red and One Big Love....but then Tony came on...oh my gawd....as soon as the chous kicked in and the bass started thumping in my car i knew that this one was a treasure. its a brutaly honest song with a up beat tempo. i dunno...every time i hear the song i wanna cry and laff at the same time. Carry Me, Christina, WF, Blue Skys, all them....just wonderful, wonderful music. Patty if your out there and read this, Thank you soo much....you rock my world Sean ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 21:04:42 -0500 From: Kuhl Subject: MM: my thoughts on FR Well like everyone else on the list i picked up FR on Tues.
