I have my idea for a stoory to go with the 1st two verses, but no idea what kind of ending to give happy or sad. So, I'd love some input. Basically, what is your take on the story in Rain? Thanks for your help all. Later, Amy Yahoo!

She began to talk about Silver Bell (before doing Truth #2), mentioning how she made an album a couple of years ago for her former record label, which then refused to release it. At this point, I shouted out "They're bastards!" a couple of times from my vantage point at the front of the stage to Patty's left. She said, "Someone up here just said 'They're bastards'...No, they're just confused." Then came the remark about the label's questionable decision-making, after which she promptly instructed herself to 'just shut up and play the damn song.' But before I get too far ahead of myself... Had the pleasure of meeting the ever-present Don before the show. I thought I would be alone in arriving at 4:30 for a 9:00 show...Don was already there! He wasn't wearing the boots, but for some reason I knew it was him anyway. At first I was told by someone w/ Patty (tour manager, perhaps?) that we would all be asked to leave when they started sound check, so I just stood by the front door for a while, soaking up as much A/C as possible. Brian said hello to me as he walked in, and then he & Michael played some Golden Tee 2. Sound check came & went (a nice, long instrumental version of 'Rain', w/ bits & pieces of other stuff), but they never asked us to leave. I assume this was because Patty skipped the sound check, leaving it to the band (It's all your fault, Don! ;)) Patty was lost...knew she was in Indiana, but didn't realize that she was actually IN Indianapolis. Told a story of an emergency trip to the vet this morning w/ Bean, her dog, who had suffered a spider bite sometime in the night. Bean turned out okay, though. She did a Springsteen cover I had never heard -- Racing In The Streets? (Forgive my ignorance when it comes to the Boss' material.) I was hoping for TOTW, but had to settle for Truth #2, as far as Silver Bell stuff is concerned. Kind of disappointed that there was no Poor Man's House, but we did get Sweet Lorraine, as well as Tony. And yes, it is strange w/o the drums, but the lyrics are still just as powerful. She seemed much more comfortable on stage tonight than she did when I saw her in Chicago in April...I guess 5 months of constantly being on stage can do that for you. Aesthetically speaking, she was glowing. Such beautiful skin...and her hair is now straight, which is more my style. As always, the voice and the words were still as moving as ever. I barely made it through Long Ride Home w/o bawling, & I did have to take a deep breath in the middle to compose myself. That's what I drove all those miles for. And, hell, it was only 300 miles from home...I know some people are driving a lot more than that. Only St. Louis & Chicago left, and then it's Patty withdrawal. Take care, all...Rob _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Aug 2002 13:39:27 -0500 From: "dana howery" Subject: MM: sort of npc and a little pc it's mighty quiet here this weekend. did the message from the list manager scare everyone off? or is it possible that people here have some life beyond patty griffin????? .....NAW!!!!! i am excited about seeing patty in st. louis next wednesday. i am taking my 16 year old son. he has never heard patty and this is definitely not his kind of music. i asked him if he wanted to hear some of her music first, but he said no; just in case he really hated it, he wouldn't have to dread it in advance. i've told him all the things he can't do during the concert: he can't make groaning or gagging noises, he can't put his fingers in his ears and make noises to drown the music out and he can't say "this sucks", "i'm dying", or "dear god, will this never be over". he likes "modern" (and some classic) rock. a lot of them use acoustic guitars, so it's "possible" he might like the show. dana howery _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #292 *********************************
