They said that this movie was an excellent thriller. There was one guy and one girl. Siskel I think, I'm not sure which one died. oops. anyway, He said that he expecially liked the way Hampton Francher (or whatever his name is) lays out the story and lets the audience just wait. whatever that means. The girl loved it too. She said that she first saw it an Sundance and then 2 more times in the last few weeks. She said that she sees something new each time and she was trying toofigure out what the great element is and finally decided that it was OWEN's performance. So they both liked it. Maybe it will be a big hit, who knows.

I've been wondering for a while. Also, when Sheryl sang The Difficult Kind in Toronto for "the Trinity Sessions", is it just me or did she sing "the *ifficult* kind" at one point?! :) (It's about 3 mins of the way through.) Jenny ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 18:36:32 -0500 From: Bob Stell Subject: [sheryl-crew] help I've always been a Sheryl Crow fan, but not a FAN! until last weeks Kennett concert If anyone has a tape of TV appearances they'd be able to copy and trade, I'd send them what little I have in return. All I have so far is this years Grammy performance of TGTN, her accepting the grammy for best rock album....and this weeks Letterman TDK. I also have one little local news story probably none of you have that I can trade....our local news story on her high school days and interviews with her mom and high school teachers (about 7 minutes is all) Living near Kennett does have a few advantages :) I'd put all this on one tape if anyone has stuff I don't for trade. E-mail me privately if able to help at nascar24@semo.net Thanks, - -- Bob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 20:53:23 +0100 (BST) From: Jenny Queen Subject: [sheryl-crew] OFF: Rushmore I just wanted to say that Sheryl's boyfriend Owen Wilson did a good job co-writing Rushmore. I saw it last night. It's an excellent film, really funny. I recommend it if you haven't seen it yet! :) Jenny ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 02:05:11 EDT From: SCFANCLUB2@aol.com Subject: [sheryl-crew] The Minus Man (possible spoiler) Hey Crew, Well I went to see "The Minus Man" over the weekend (it opened on Friday in LA -- and NY) and I must say, Sheryl kicks some major ass in the 5 minutes that she's on-screen. Of course, I may be biased in my opinion, but my friend (not a Sheryl fanatic) who I went with to see it thought Sheryl was great too. And she might surprise some of you because of the character she plays (she smokes, drinks, swears, does drugs, dies, and somehow still manages to make you laugh and smile), but remember, she's just acting! Anyway, I don't want to give too much of the movie away for those of you planning to go see it (I apologize if I already did), but if you have any questions about Sheryl's role or the movie in general, e-mail me and I'll gladly spill the beans. By the way, you'll like the movie if you're a fan of Owen Wilson ("Bottle Rocket" is a good example) -- he'll really pull you into it -- or you like psychology. If not, there's not much more of Sheryl after her scene, except for a picture of her in a news report towards the end.

Turns out, Sheryl Crow was just getting warmed up. Now she'll wrap up her summer on Tuesday with a free concert in Central Park's East Meadow. "I've entered a period in my career where I only tour when I want to, and work on projects that I want to work on," insists the 37-year-old singer/songwriter. "I'm not trying to be everywhere all the time and that's a great relief." The copper-topped singer says the Fox Network urged her to invite high-profile rock acts to draw more viewers. But Crow, always her own woman, declined: "If the concert is called 'Sheryl Crow and Friends,'" she said, "I should know them all first." That's why the guest list includes such longtime Crow cronies as Eric Clapton, Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Chrissie Hynde. "In all, we're going to have six or seven special guests," she told The Post between rehearsals late last week. "A lot depends on if there are any last-minute scheduling conflicts." So far that problem has nixed David Bowie from Tuesday's lineup. Crow admitted that making a concert with built-in commercial breaks for network TV was daunting. "I have to really create two shows, because only the second half of the two-hour concert will be on television." (The full concert will be shown on the Fox's cable division FX Wednesday evening.) Still, Crow seemed even more concerned about how the concert would play to the crowd, fretting that "no one would come to the concert since it's such a hassle to get a pair of tickets." Though the concert is free, you'll need a ticket to get past the gate Tuesday. The "hassle" includes first finding one of many American Express "Blue Crew" members who will be wandering the streets at undisclosed, but highly trafficked areas around the five boroughs. The Post passed a posse of them last week on the D train at the West Fourth stop and at Union Square. They'll give you a bar-coded piece of cardboard that another member of the Blue Crew swipes through a scanner, after which a computerized voice tells you whether you're a winner. If you are, the card is redeemable for a pair of tickets at kiosks near the East Meadow. AmEx reps said the chances of winning are one in four. Putting the concert together is Crow's concern. Getting a pair of free tickets is ours, and keeping happy all the hundreds of thousands of rock fans who didn't get a ticket, but still want to hear Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton and their pals play, is New York City Parks Commissioner Henry Stern's problem. At Wednesday's press conference the commissioner sternly warned the public, "Don't go to Central Park - you won't get within a mile of the concert." He suggested that those without tickets watch the show on TV or listen to it on the radio or over the 'Net. And when asked why the relatively small East Meadow was picked instead of Sheep Meadow or the Great Lawn, Stern explained that those fields were being "re-greened." In spite of all these obstacles, Crow sees this show as a huge opportunity that may lead to a live album, if all the participating artists and their management agree to it. But even if Tuesday night's show is a one-night stand, Crow still is excited by the project: "I recently moved to the city," she says, "so getting to play Central Park is a big honor."
