I found this a couple weeks ago and mentioned it on the list but no one replied except one person who was going to Oberlin for another concert and said he'd scan the area for any info. The only thing I could find was that Sloan Wainwright (Rufus' aunt, i think) was also playing. As for the rest of the lineup, I don't know. Pollstar lists the venue as the Oberlin Folk Fest instead of an actual venue. Weird. And Sloan Wainwright's site lists her going to the folk fest as well. I'm looking for more info too, if anyone has any! I'm planning on heading down to that show since I live relatively close.

Mr Kunkel & I live in a musically-depressed city that declared the Monkees concert here in 1999 as "the concert of the 90s" (I'm serious, by the way). We get acts here about 25 to 35 years after they were in their prime. Looking forward to a local Blood, Sweat & Tears concert in a few more years, Mike P.S. Actually, I was not expecting to find 1000 Kisses in the local stores due to the "small label" nature of it. Looks like I gots to order it or travel up to Syracuse and hit Best Buy or Media Play. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 07:55:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Dave Short Subject: MM: Conan appearance verified Rockontv.com shows Patty performing tonight on Conan.

Why should they have been altered? Because it's a female singing? I tend to like it when an artist keeps the lyrics the same as the original for some reason. It makes it more authentic to the original songwriting I guess. At least for me. When she sings Top of the World, she says "...the way that my wife does". I guess she wrote the song that the main character (sung in first person) is a male. Unless I miss the point on the song Top of the World. I kind of put my own spin on what the song is about relating it to a more personal level and what it means to me. I like songs that have storytelling where the main character in the story doesn't have to be the same sex or specifically that person who is singing the song. The singer becomes the character when they sing it in first person. If anyone would like to share what they think or what they heard Patty say is the meaning of the song Top of the World, please email me. I'd love to hear from you. We don't tend to get into the meaning of Patty's songs (either what she has said they are about or what individuals say it means to them) on the list that much. However, I find it very interesting to find out what Patty or fans like/dislike about her songs or what they are about. Riff "Don't just exist.
