The first time I heard it I though "Did Patty know my mother.?" lol I guess I just always felt different from the rest of my family--and was glad I did. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 21:47:41 EST From: Redcuillin@aol.com Subject: MM: re: most moving song in a normal year, i'd probably go with "poor man's house" but i have always been moved by "every little bit" and now that i'm the jilted half of a dying marriage, the passion and fervor in patty's voice seems just a little more meaningful and personal. - -reuben dover, nh ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 23:08:37 -0500 (EST) From: Amy Suzanne Butler Subject: MM: Tearful, soulful song It's odd, but the Patty song that most moves me is not my favorite. I think my favorite is Mad Mission or Every Little Bit, but the song that rarely fails to knock the breath out of me is Goodbye. It reminds me of someone very special who died -- almost tells the story of how I feel about it -- and I often find myself singing along and crying at the same time. Not a good thing when I'm in my car on the way to work :-) Great and thought provoking questions recently! Wow!

I have introduced Patty to quite a few of my friends and to my suprise, my straight friends were more receptive to her music than the gay ones. My b/f is your typical gay teenager (club kid techno freak) and him and all of his friends hate "lesbian music" - therefore he sleeps on the couch alot :O) - My point is while Patty may be popular among the gay female crowd, I think you and I are loners in the gay male Patty fan area.

I hope Patty's not doing Lebanese music , because that's the country where the Grand Mufti wants to put someone in jail for using passages from the Koran in his music , & I hear tell that if you play "Change" backwards you can hear her chanting prayers from the Koran. Don't take my word for it , though. Check with Charles Manson , he's the real authority on subtle & hidden messages in music. Although the "Flaming Red" album is clearly inspired by Satan , & "Living with Ghosts" obviously deals with the occult , a little more subtle is the communist leanings seen in "Poor Man's House". I hope that none of us are fooled into taking Patty's , or anyone elses music at face value. We all know about the hidden agendas everyone has , don't we? Does anyone remember Tony?

I don't get it. My mother wrote music and sang with an all lesbian band back in the 70's, for example: Man of Distinction .........Was a time when I cowered and only seem to find that a man only wanted my body, and he never wanted my mind, but my friend is so different, he doesn't want me in that way, he's a man of distinction, he's a man who is gay" - Lynn Cook If someone said my Mother's music was "Lesbian Music", I'd say yes, I can see where your coming from, however, I don't see the connection between PG's music and Lesbians. I'm one of her biggest fans and I'm also as straight as they come. This is not to say that the label "Lesbian Music" is derogatory in any sense, I just don't feel that it is an accurate label for PG. Please don't anyone get mad at me--I know how mad you mad-missioners get. ha ha..yes, I know, I'm to talk. Credit to those you who started these great questions--it's been fun reading.

I do have a few things of note to say on the subject. The most recent one that moved me was "Even Here". It was not her composition , & I find that her choices of cover songs reflect her preference for songs with compositions & lyrics that are deeply moving. Also , everytime that I hear her say "Bold" in the Rarities version of "Stolen Car" something inside me gets nudged again. Beautiful flower in your garden But the most beautiful of all Is the one growing wild In the garbage dump Even here , even here , we are Paul Esterberg "Even Here" Don ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V4 #36 ********************************
