She will be guested on a J-Wave program next Monday. Perhaps her interview starts from 4:30. I expected she would appear on some Japanese TV&radio programs, but I coudn't find any other info still now except this one. She is now far from Tokyo and will come here, maybe this Friday. I'll meet her on Saturday, so I'll send her set-list this weekend to this list. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 15:47:42 GMT From: "heather hines" Subject: [sheryl-crew] Sheryl's Bracelets Hi, Crew! Has anyone else noticed the bead bracelets Sheryl wears on her LEFT wrist, with the huge leather watchband? She seems to have worn them at all her appearances lately. Can anyone tell me what colors they are? I've seen bracelets like these at the Limited, and other stores. Each type of bead "represents" something. Black Hematite supposedly "banishes negativity"; amythyst "helps one achieve fulfillment." I also read an article about them in Us magazine; they are very popular with celebs, apparently. Anyway, if we can tell what stones they are, we can get some insight into Sheryl. (And go buy the exact same ones for ourselves, if we want!) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 15:51:44 GMT From: "heather hines" Subject: [sheryl-crew] GMA audience Easter's post on the GMA audience was so funny - I never noticed the old woman on the couch before!! Now she annoys me, too!(LOL) It does look as if they hijacked a tour bus of senior citizens to get an audience. (I think that is how people get in the studio; it's probably part of a tour package. So, GMA is guaranteed an audience even when the guests aren't well-known.) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 20:16:19 +0200 From: Brigitte & Michael Subject: Re: [sheryl-crew] netaid paul mccartney???

I'm sorry about the OT, but I need an English (or American) native speaker to have a look at my speech. I'm going to Spain to hold a speech about the social security systems in several European countries. I only got invited when everyone else had most of his/her preparational work done already, and so I didn't have the chance to get as prepared as I would have been if they had invited me sooner. All my source literature is written in German, and it isn't easy to translate all these specialist terms, so it would be great if someone could take a look at the speech before I hold it. Thanx for reading this far, Horsti P.S. This has been my first OT-post, so you can stop throwing tomatoes at me :-) P.P.S. BTW, is there anyone out there in Castellon, Spain? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 18:42:03 EDT From: Mauseee@aol.com Subject: [sheryl-crew] Re: sheryl-crew-digest V2 #350 someone asked about Jeff Trot (if he has ever played with her or has been seen on anything with her) and I was watching a tape of the "Sessions" when she was first on a while ago (not the most recent one) and Jeff plays guitar on that with her.

This week, one of the programs is featuring Sheryl to analyze why her hit tune "All I Wanna Do" succeeded. Every day, they analyze it from different point of view and they focused the melody yesterday. Today the horoscope of her birth and the date of the tune 1993 were checked. According to them, the time of her birth was the special year, because the most major planets were gathered to Aquarius. Some people predicted the birth of the Messiah! - -----Original Message----- 差出人 : SCFANCLUB2@aol.com 宛先 : c-shige@qa2.so-net.ne.jp 日時 : 1999年10月14日 7:37 件名 : Re: [sheryl-crew] J-Wave guest SC >In a message dated 10/13/99 12:44:46 AM Pacific Daylight Time, >c-shige@qa2.so-net.ne.jp writes: > ><< Just for Japanese crews.

Well, I can give you a little insight into these bracelets, they are called power beads. I believe they are chinese or something. Anyways, I have 2 of them. They come in all different colours symbolizing different meanings. The bracelets I have are black wooden beads (Harmony: wood beads restore harmony through internal balance), and a browny, yellowy stone one (courage: tiger's eye encourages the imagination to go beyond traditional boundaries). I got these 2 because of the meanings and the colour, they are natural, and nutral, so I can wear them everyday, whereas the coloured ones you can only wear if they go with your outfit (that is if you are fashion saavy like me...*hysterical laughter ensues*). I don't know for sure if these are the bracelets that Sheryl has, but I have seen them from a distance and I am pretty sure it's power beads she is wearing.

With his emaciated limbs, rubbery, youngish-looking face, gaunt physique and his ability to blend seamlessly into the personality of a likable milquetoast, Wilson has a quality that can best be described as a disturbing variation on a slightly metaphysical Joe Sixpack. His presence is used to great effect in The Minus Man, based on the novel by Lew McCreary and the directorial debut of Hampton Fancher. The film strives unsuccessfully for the minimalism of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, but it is filled with some scattershot rewards. Fancher was the scribe behind the Denzel Washington opus, The Mighty Quinn, but more importantly, he is the man that wrote the original script for Blade Runner before being fired by Ridley Scott for David Peoples. How much of Fancher's script exists in the final film of Blade Runner is hard to assess, but one of the two strengths of The Minus Man is its liberating and inexorable pursuit of following the title character without a plot instead of a typical setup involving characters trying to catch the killer in action. The film opens up promisingly with Vann Seigert (Owen Wilson, who plays The Minus Man himself), a quiet drifter who stumbles into a bar in search of milk (he doesn't drink alcohol), runs into an asthmatic heroin user (played quite well by Sheryl Crow), and offers her a ride when the bartender/owner kicks her out. Vann seems a pleasant enough loner. He is quiet, respectful and a guy who will listen to your every word. But, much like the sheriff in Jim Thompson's classic pulp novel The Killer Inside Me, he has...well, the killer inside him, and kills by offering his victims poisoned alcohol. He soon dumps Crow's poisoned body at a rest area. Vann's care in depositing the body reminded me a lot of Norman Bates, who showed the same care in disposing of corpses and taxidermy alike. And Wilson is utterly compelling in a more subdued (and perhaps eerier) way than Anthony Perkins. He's downright philosophical about the process, treating his disease as casually as sitting down to a home-cooked meal. Vann soon settles down in a small, unnamed town, landing a job with the United States Postal Service and living with a strange couple contemplating the disappearance of their daughter. The killings continue. And two detectives (Dwight Yoakam and Dennis Haysbert) from Vann's own delusions begin to hound him. The film's other strength is its mind-boggingly eclectic casting. Just about every type of actor has been assembled by Fancher and kudos must be delivered in his favor here. Mercedes Ruehl, who can do no wrong in any role, plays the troubled and brashly neurotic mother waiting for her missing daughter to come home in the house Vann rents a room from. Janeane Garofolo appears as Ferrin, a thirtysomething trying to find a romantic peace of sorts and desperately trying to woo Vann at the post office. The underrated Brent Briscoe plays a police chief. Larry Miller shows up as a father proud of his football star son. Even direct-to-video maven Meg Foster appears, playing a screwball artist that is without question the nuttiest role of her career. But I was frustrated with the film's inability to hone in on even one smidgen of a motive behind Vann's killings. Now don't get me wrong. I didn't want the whole enchilada. But Wilson is just too intriguing in the part to disallow us this mild glimpse into his character's inner workings. My frustration at the lack of motive really had me overlooking some of The Minus Man's merits. Vann's ample narration, almost entirely devoid of back story, certainly didn't help. But, overall, The Minus Man is an interesting, off-kilter ride -- a film that may get you thinking about your own inner workings. ------------------------------ End of sheryl-crew-digest V2 #351 *********************************
