Van Morrison/Natalie ["Victoria Chenevey" Subject: MM: UTNE A few months back I had some friends over for dinner who didn't know much about Patty so after dinner we gathered for an informal listening party. I was playing all kinds of stuff on my stereo by different artists. Our radio station out here has pretty much played all of _Flaming Red_ but, particularly, has played "Change" quite a bit. I slowly made my way through "Flaming Red," "One Big Love," and "Tony," as they quietly and repeatedly asked for "Change."Just as I switched tapes to play "I Write the Book," one of my friends just looked at me and said, "Cristina, please just play 'Change,' That song ROCKS!!" We were drunk with wine and singing our hearts out to "Change" at almost 2 in the morning and it was probably the most fun I've EVER had since moving out here to Nash-"Vegas." My point is, people remember that song. It's bold, it's funky, it's irreverent, and like it or not, it's feminist. While I've tired of "Tony," I've NEVER tired of "Change." That song, like "Flaming Red," is just so much damn fun to listen to, sing, and shake my ass to. I can't help but attribute her growing fanbase here to the reliable presence of that song on Lightning 100. So if you haven't guessed (and you're still reading this) my vote is for "Change." -Cristina ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 17:44:58 EDT From: Mudhoney49@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: UTNE I TOTALLY agree with Cristina. I've recently been giving Flaming Red a lot of play, and Change has emerged as my favorite song on the album. I vote for Change.

And I'd also like to know if this'll be available nationally, though I assume it would be, since Utne is. The only other artist I could think of to add is Alison Krauss. - -----Original Message----- From: Erin DeRuggiero To: Mad-Mission@smoe.org Date: Wednesday, May 12, 1999 9:46 AM Subject: MM: Patty on "Utne Storytellers" CD >Greetings from Minneapolis! > I'm currently working on putting together a track list for an Utne >Reader CD compilation, to be released by Rykodisk, entitled: >"Storytellers".

(Kimberly on Diff'rent Strokes). I was so sad when I learned of her death (I was visiting in Vegas and heard about it from a stranger I met who said he knew her briefly when she lived there) that I cried. I was never a big fan of hers or even of the show, but I've followed her misadventures over the years and for some reason always felt for her. She struck me as sad and lost. (Not unlike some of the characters our darling Ms. Patty G writes of) Anyways....hope my fellow MMer's don't mind this digression.
