I think of the three "girl acts" - Sheryl, Alanis, and Jewel - who sold a gazillion copies of their first album, Sheryl is the only one who is proving she has staying power and wasn't a "one hit wonder." Even though she did pretty much a shortened set of her Dallas show back in March, it still sounded fresh, >> Hey sweetie, We all know that no one rocks like Sheryl, but dont bash Jewel!! She rocks man!! But alanis.......ahhh, ok shes weird......lol.....be nice to the little people!

Has anyone been able to find a copy of the Musician Planet magazine I've talked about? If not, I'll probably type it out for the list, even though it's long. Will have to do it in parts too. 2. I'm also a fan of Sarah McLachlan and I'd love to hear how she's been doing at Lilith. If you've seen a Lilith all ready, please email me with your input about Sarah! I'm dying to get my Mirrorball video back from my best friend, which is the only most recent thing I have of Sarah of course. Bummer. Now, I really liked reading Catherine's review about what Sheryl said before singing The Difficult Kind. Love that song, a soundtrack song to my life I'll have to say. Sheryl also said it's about changing before singing it at the Clapton concert. No wonder why I like it, my life has changed so much in the past two, three years I think. Oh well....one of those songs you can totally relate to and you have no idea. =) Cheers to all, have a great weekend!

Sheryl Crow Remembers the Mosh Pit and the Beer '94 Woodstock Star Talks About Her New Record With Woodstock.com By Gary Graff When it comes to Woodstock 99, Sheryl Crow is a woman of few, but decisive, words. 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: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 14:19:29 -0500 From: "trying to save myself but myself keeps slipping" Subject: Re: off-dallas lilith attendees it's not that i think shawn was awful, or she didn't belong at lilith. but i think her placement was wrong. i mean, lucious jackson really got the crowd going, and sheryl almost stole the show. shawn should've been towards the beginning, because by that time, i was in an upbeat mood.

Sheryl says in the article that obviously her songs on TGS were personal. But I wanted to know what other songs exist besides the ones that made the final Globe Sessions cut. I know that "Carolina," "Resuscitation" are 2. Are these also more personal? Anyone have any inklings? ( d'ya like that word?) ;0) ALSO--I have a question about one of the lyrics of the song "Coffee Shop." ....."I live upstairs w/ 3 other girls & it's (here's the part....)> pot free...." >>>>>is this the lyric???
