What does she anticipate for the Woodstock 99 festival? "Loud music, warm beer, loads of a fun. And a few jillion ATMs." What part does Woodstock -- the original festival -- play in her creative or musical makeup? "None, but it is fun to watch the film and hear the music now." What are her memories of playing at Woodstock 94? "The crowd moshing during 'Leaving Las Vegas.'" Is she going to add anything appropriate to the occasion to her set at Woodstock 99? "Perhaps an homage to the Who. " Abbie Hoffman, where are you now...? But while Woodstock '94 was part of Crow's success story as an emerging artist, Woodstock '99 finds her in a different place -- more settled and with a different focus that's enriched her music and kept the Grammy Awards coming. Simply put, Crow now has a life after spending the first few years of her career dedicated to nothing but her music and making a name for herself after the Kennett, Missouri, native -- inspired to begin writing songs after attending a Peter Frampton concert -- spent years singing back-up for the likes of Michael Jackson and Don Henley. "I really enjoy working ... but I was on the road for six years straight, and I realized that I didn't have anything else besides what I'd been doing this whole time," says Crow, who watched a four-year relationship and engagement fall victim to her work-heavy lifestyle. So she shut down for awhile to discover what she was missing and to do something about it -- though that, in turn, sparked the creative process that resulted in her latest Grammy winning album, The Globe Sessions. "I think going into the studio to work on (The Globe Sessions) was what opened my mind to the breakdown of my own life," Crow explains. "And before I knew it, I had a collection of songs that were really introspective, and at that point I realized my personal life had really suffered because of my absence from it." So Crow took steps to make a life for herself as well as to protect her creative time. She made "a practice" of hanging out with friends and "getting back in touch with people that I care about." She also sculpted out time to "just be quiet, hang around at home and read." Besides her apartment in New York, which she's been renovating, Crow bought a Spanish-styled house in Los Angeles -- ironically one she tried to purchase previously but lost in a negotiation. And Crow says that owning property more than anything else speaks to her efforts to pursue a permanent change in the way she lives. "Part of the thing of being on the road is that feeling of being nomadic and having very little responsibility," she explains. "I've never enjoyed owning a lot of stuff; in fact, I joked about every time I've had an apartment that I've always just walked away, locked the door behind me and let the next person worry about all the junk I left behind. "And now I'm starting to sort of conduct my life more like an adult and have tried to adjust to having a real home and real responsibilities. And it's fun. It makes me feel like I'm encroaching on a different phase of my life. " That doesn't mean the work has suffered, though. During her time away from touring, Crow scored an independent film called Dill Scallion and had a small role as a junkie in The Minus Man, which was shown at the last Sundance Film Festival. And there's The Globe Sessions, whose songs freely mine Crow's emotions and experiences for what she acknowledges is the most personal of her three releases. "I have the wonderful privilege of creating a story around my own stories," she explains, "so certainly there's no song that's strictly autobiographical. But they are loosely based on my own experiences. "It was basically a matter of committing to putting out that album or trying to create another album, and it felt like it was timely and pretty honest -- well, it was very honest -- and pretty concise, and my decision to put it out, although it was a pretty daunting decision, felt like it was the right decision." During concerts on her latest tour, however, Crow has found she has little trouble tapping into the original emotion that inspired the songs. "There are a couple of songs where every night onstage I'll experience how I felt when I wrote it," she says. "Like, for instance, 'Don't Hurt'was a song I wrote out of real anger and disillusionment, and I still really associate that song with the experience. It does reach me emotionally. Then there are other songs I feel I'm a little more removed from, like 'My Favorite Mistake.'" Crow plans to spend most of the rest of the year touring; she's on the entire run of this summer's Lilith Fair, and she's contemplating a series of acoustic shows, probably on college campuses, during the fall. She'd also like to put some dates together with Stevie Nicks, the once and future Fleetwood Mac singer and a personal hero who Crow collaborated with on the soundtrack for Practical Magic, which led to the two working together on Nicks' next solo album. "I guess my role in this is really to try and create what she feels is an accurate picture of who she is," Crow says. "She's a really prolific writer. I think the thing she has suffered in the last few years is when she goes into the studio, there's always a male producer that wants to make her into something that is maybe not as intimate as what she sees her music as being. Trying to get that on tape is going to be the real trick." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 01:07:09 EDT From: Wallflwr95@aol.com Subject: Re: BOOTS!!

This article was meant for my scnews list. Yes, it was posted here a few days ago. My bad! :-) As to not make this a pointless e-mail, here's some TV listings for the week (answers the "when" question for the 100 Greatest Women episode with Sheryl, although I'm sure she'll be featured talking about some of the other artists for the other nights): + In the US, Tuesday/Wednesday, July 27/28, VH1, 1:30am, Before They Were Rock Stars: Ladies of Lilith (repeats Saturday, July 31 @ 7am) + Wednesday, July 28, Syndicated, The Roseanne Show (rerun from February) [check local listings for times and channels!] + Wednesday, July 28, VH1, 10pm, 100 Greatest Women of Rock n' Roll (repeats again at 12:30am; Thursday, July 29 @ 1pm and 9pm; Friday, July 30 @ 8pm; Saturday, July 31 @ 3pm; Sunday, August 1 @ 6pm) + Saturday/Sunday, July 31/August 1, VH1, 12am (midnight), Hard Rock Live Season Premiere: one-hour of Sheryl Crow live!

It must be true then, right? In regards to Mississippi, I was the one who originally reported that it was *planned* as a single for October, and that information came from Sheryl's guitar tech. Now with Interscope's staff handling the radio promotions, I think everything has been changed. But who knows. What's the big deal anyway? (*ducking for cover*) And don't be so hard on the record labels, they really do work hard at what they do, you might be amazed.

(We snagged even better seats and I thought our original seats were spoken for but arrangements fell through.) Seats are in the pavilion - 4 in 23rd row of left orchestra, 2 in 25th row of right orchestra, 2 in center orchestra, row 00 (almost at the back of the pavilion but close to dead center). They cost me $84 each with all the service/parking charges; I'm selling at cost. I can meet you at Merriweather before the show, or earlier if you're local.

With those controversial pics in Maxim garnering interest in Sheryl's body, she decided to make the next step... posing for Playboy!! OK, so I'm exaggerating, but Sheryl really is in the September issue of Playboy. (Sable on the cover) There's a pic of her and Owen Wilson flanking Hugh Hefner on p. 8, as part of "The World of Playboy" photo section. Sheryl and Owen were part of the crowd that welcomed Hef, etc. home from their trip to Europe. - - Kristina (Ok, so I read Playboy.
