I overlooked strep throat and a fever to brave the smoky bowels of the Varsity Theatre to watch Patty open for Lucinda Williams. Apparently Lucinda was pleased with her homecoming and the reception and played for nearly three rowdy hours if my sources are correct, but by then the smoke got to me and I left after three songs. But now Patty..... I had great fun filling in the heathen who were clueless about the opening act, explaining that I came to see her more than the headliner. A little PR, pumping them up, you know. But she impressed them. Are we surprised? Set List: Go Now Flaming Red Blue Sky Goodbye (I Feel Like) Breaking Up Somebody's Home Tony Wiggley Fingers Mary I thought it was gutsy to open with something as low key as Go Now but it worked nicely. And Flaming Red and Wiggley Fingers threatened to rock the house down around our ears. I think people were astonished that this petite person had such a loud band. Mr. Bass dude was definately flaming in a bright red jumpsuit. And it looked like the bandmembers were really jamming and enjoying themselves. Their cover of "Breaking Up Somebody's Home" was just incredibly funky -- fantastic rubbery bass line. I can't remember who did that song originally -- it's written by Denise LaSalle, but I'm assuming some more famous R & B person recorded it -- but I know it from Bette Midler's second album. In her intro chat Patty said, "I don't think there's a cooler gig than opening for Lucinda Williams in Baton Rouge," and the crowd went wild. Oh, and she was wearing some flowery little frock with chunky black sandals. It was a privilege to see her, large as life, right there in front of us. She looked just like I expected her to. Sigh, Susan in Baton Rouge ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 16:24:44 EDT From: Hejjira1@aol.com Subject: MM: A Quick Question!!!!! Does anyone know what path one would take to become a successful music reviewer? I think I have decided that that is the path I want to take with my life......but I'm a little unsure as to where I would start, what type of education I would need, places I could apply for an intern, stuff like that. If any of you have words of wisdom, experiences, or just some FYI's PLEASE PLEASE send me a line! I would be much appreciative!! Peace Out, Paul "Don't you get sensitive on me, cause I know you're just too proud. You couldn't step outside the Boho dance now, even if good fortune allowed." J. Mitchell ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 08:29:35 PDT From: "Amy Emerman" Subject: MM: patty & tori I like Patty much more. (NOt that I really see a reason for comparing the two other than they both have red hair--Patty's is real, TOri's isn't. I think that's symbolic--Tori has a phony hard edge while Patty is authentic, soft, raw, real...sweet and kind and sensitive. Tori's sensitive, but has that phony hard edge and is a bit to out there with her faeries and whatnot. She's like a phony theatre major type...Patty is like a NATURAL WOMAN--Beautiful, real, powerful, tiny, cute, kind, strong, etc. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 18:32:41 -0500 From: "James P" Subject: MM: Re: patty & tori Amy, Are you saying that people who die their hair are not genuine people? -Cristina - -----Original Message----- From: Amy Emerman To: mad-mission-digest@smoe.org Date: Friday, April 30, 1999 4:36 PM Subject: MM: patty & tori >I like Patty much more.

Let's hear what he has to say... Dave, read my private email. I find what you say to be extremely interesting. If the Badlees really didn't want 50-G's, then I'm gonna get some of my school newspaper friends on this. Even though a couple of years old, I think that story should be written. Paul, if you want to review CD's then do it. Listen to CD's and write about them. Start with stuff and music you know more about before going into others. Then after a while start sending your reviews to major players (like a free-lance thing). After a while, they might start sending you stuff to review. My father reviews books for some quality publishing company. He wrote a few books and reviewed a few books. Now they keep sending him new books, and pay him, for his opinion. Whatever you do, my advice is "don't be wishy-washy." I wrote Cd Reviews for the school newspaper in college and many people enjoyed them....a few called my articles shoddy journalism (but I never said I was a journalist). I like to think that people enjoyed them cuz I said what I thought. I didn't do the "I didn't like this CD, but you might" thing. The point of reviewing something is to give your opinion. Some are gonna hate you, some are gonna like you. Many of my articles are on the internet. I strongly urge you not to emulate my writings because you probably won't get a job writing about drinking and alcohol..oh and hey a CD. Email me privately for more info. since this is like way not PG related. I'll give you some of the addresses. Also you might want to try to write for Linc Magazine (a college mag sent out to most colleges). email them and tell them about your interest. There's no guarantee but they could use your stuff, and you'd be published. Julie, Your conversation with Ms. Griffin was priceless. I loved it! You write ab fab. Oh, who is this Tori Amos? Is she any good? ha ha. Just kidding. But I do think she has a chance over Patty Griffin in the Celebrity death match thing. Well, stick a fork in me, I'm done. Still bumming from missing the almighty in two concerts within driving distance. ;I Happy Beltane, all! Dance Naked! peace, love, and vegetable rights. paul ********************************* * Damn, woman. I just gave you * * sweet lovin' five minutes * * ago.

So that makes her a phony? I suppose Me and a Gun is phony, and RAIIN is all done with mirrors. Give me a break Amy. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 21:15:01 -0400 From: "Darren" Subject: MM: Tori & Patty My apologies to the list for the anger in that last post, but Amy's comments really ticked me off. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 May 1999 00:57:59 EDT From: MistyBC@aol.com Subject: MM: Read! Patty at Riverstages! Hi all! Sorry to post this to the whole list... But another MMer, named John (I believe) emailed me saying that he would be attending Riverstages with his sister and friend. John (I really hope that is your name...)--- Please email me! I lost your address. If you want to meet up with some MMers in Nashville--we'll be meeting at the Lightning 100 table/booth at the Gay Street entrance to the festival right next to Fort Nashboro. We're meeting at 3 and I hope to see you there! If you see two dark haired 18 year old girls, one tall, one not, then say hi! It's Erin and me! Byeee! :) - -Misty ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V3 #122 *********************************
