[Iain Cole ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 16:45:53 PST From: "Amy Emerman" Subject: MM: drink and age I'm Amy, 27, female from New York City. I love my age--I feel much more focused than when I was in my early 20's. I have a young look and young feel, but can also be wise and mature for my years. I went through a big drinking phase in my early twenties, started by college partying and continuing through post-college "OH my God what am I going to do with my life trauma?" At the moment, I barely ever drink simply because I'm in grad school and have no time. ALso, I don't feel the need anymore. In fact, I used to use alcohol as a crutch and now I feel my life is richer without. I would still have some every now and then, but I feel more authentic without it. If I feel a little socially anxious at parties--so what? I don't feel the need to drown myself in alchohol anymore, and my life is much richer for it. I'm also impressed that Patty attracts a very wide age range...I think that's great. I sing, and when I eventually start performing, I'd like to attract a very wide age range too, not just the very young or teenyboppers, but people of all ages, shapes and sizes and states of mind... Talk to y'all later, Amy :-) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 19:58:08 -0500 From: "Jessica S. Mansmith" Subject: [none] 23 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 20:10:25 -0500 From: "Jessica S. Mansmith" Subject: [none] Well, I am 23 and a little baffled by the lebian music thing. As far as tastes go (no pun intended), I know that people tend to equate folksy/ brave female talent into some butch category. Five or six years ago, I told my boss the female artists that I listened to (Sarah, Tori, so on and so on) and he said, "Oh - all those funny ones" and gave me this sideways glance. I think that bothers me that some people think that. That's like saying only criminals listen to rap or only senior citizens like Sinatra. We, judging by the ages posted, are so varied in our backgrounds, ages and lifestyles that it is easy to prove that "lesbian music" comment was just typcasting the genre and the audience of that genre. My dad loves the same music I do and as far as I know, he is no lesbian. I'm sure that whoever thought to say that was not intending any offense; I certainly take none. But I also think that it would be nice if we just enjoyed it for its aesthetic and artistic value, rather than for what it may or may not represent. Why do we have to label everything? Damn. I love Barry Manilow and if that makes me... cheesy...(for lack of a comparably better term) I DON'T CARE!!!! ROck on, oh God of the Copa.

Unless this is breaking news, I'm surprised no one has posted this yet (I JUST found it on the Sessions At West 54th web site). Apparently there will be a chat with Patty on February 9th at 9:00pm ET. You can find all the info you need by heading to http://www.sessionsatwest54th.com/ on the night of the chat and clicking the link for the chat along the left side of the page. There's some info to fill out and you will be in the chat.

What does it say about me that I can happily listen to Iggy Pop, then Sarah McLachlan, both of Patty's CDs, the Butthole Surfers, The Whitlams, Billy Bragg, Jeff Beck, Jeff Buckley and 3rd Eye Blind, Deb Conway, iOTA and finally Jimmi Hendrix? That's the mix in the CD player now..
