There was no negativity there as far as I was aware of. Sometimes email can lead to confusion about people's motives. I was just giving a little view of the show thru my eyes for those who weren't there. Nothing negative about the Yankees or about sports, just that the gesture was lost on me, personally, since I have no clue about sports. However, in retrospect, I think it was a really nice thing of Judith to do! I had heard Patty mumbling something jokingly about "kissing up to the New York audience," but that's it... Enjoy the music, and let's not misunderstand each other! This is a list for information and positive things to be passed on. The idea was to paint a tiny sketch of the show for those who couldn't make it. Peace, Amy ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 17:33:24 -0500 From: "Michael C.

My impression as well. Having a brother who is a professional songwriter, I often get the privilege of discussing song origins with him and his cowriters. Granted, much of this music is targetted for country radio - which is in a dreadful state. But many of their best lyrics (most powerful, most moving, etc) have little or no basis in fact. In great songs, like so many of Patty's, I hear "truth", whether or not they are "true stories." > Welcome to all the newcomers. > > Thanks! ~ mike (in atlanta) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 17:25:53 -0500 (EST) From: GKRG@grove.iup.edu Subject: MM: songwriting i agree with mark on this one. i enjoy listening to the music without thinking about what it means. in fact, i didn't really think about the lyrics until i signed up for this list. i thought about what the lyrics were, and what they meant to me, but not where they came from or what patty went through. does that make sense? anyway. . . being a songwriter myself, sometimes i don't like to put in too much truth. . . i want people to hear my music, not my life story. i went through this phase where everything had to be really really deep, and then i gave up. i write what fits when i'm feeling it, whether it makes sense or not. not that everyone else is that way. . .it's just me. nancy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 16:39:25 -0800 From: "Kathi Whitley" Subject: MM: RE: Bowery Ballroom show Hmmm...exacerbates, incivility and solipsistic all in one message. Pretty impressive verbalization. I had to look that last one up. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org [mailto:owner-mad-mission@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Perlman, Judith Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 1998 10:07 AM To: 'mad-mission@smoe.org' Subject: MM: Bowery Ballroom show Since people have been writing about the Yankee shirt & hat Patty put on for the encore, and since the people who were there were NOT listening when Patty announced that it was a gift from a fan, I'm posting this to say they were gifts from me. I did not post about this earlier because I did not want to seem solipsistic. But I do NOT appreciate all the negative comments about it. In addition to the fact that they are incredibly tactless, putting them on the list for everyone to read exacerbates the incivility. If you have a problem with it, please e-mail each other, or me, privately.

I will coming from Houston to attend my 1st Patty show and am very psyched about it. Name a time and place and I'm there. :) Jeff ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 17:29:03 -0500 From: "Perlman, Judith" Subject: MM: Religious imagery 2 posts in 1 day, I must be manic. As someone who had a very religious education, e.g. studied the Bible half a day every day of school, my take on "Moses" is that she's saying she needs a miracle to rescue her. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 17:29:03 -0500 From: "Perlman, Judith" Subject: MM: Religious imagery 2 posts in 1 day, I must be manic.

When I was on the list before they were seeing what we thought should be the next single. I agree with you that a red long sleeved shirt would be great. For a quote..hmm..let's see here..how about..1 of 2 quotes from One Big Love...1. "Everything Before Is Gone Or Going Somewhere" or 2. I'm trading in my things for a couple wings on a little white dove, and One Big Love" I'd have to say lyric number 2 from OBL is the better of the 2, but there are so many others that would be a possibility...I guess let me know what you think.
