Sting was always blown away by everyone's misinterpretation of that song. Another is "Born in the USA". Someone else (too lazy to look it up right now) wrote about the naughty bit in "Afternoon Delight". The 60's version of that kind of sneakiness was "Penny Lane" Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes, For a fish and finger pie...

Although, please be sure to ignore the negative review that some poor, misguided soul felt the need to post. :) I will admit, the first song isn't all that inspiring initially, but if you stick it out, you'll find some real gems later on in the album -- the second and third tracks are particularly great ("Greetings from the Sugar Lick" and "72-24"). Anyway, definitely check this band out -- both the songs themselves and Rebecca Gates' wonderful voice should win you over.

It was just funny >to see a big headline that said something like "Alice Springs Makes a >Comeback" and it wasn't about Liz's song. It's weird to see those words >in a different context, I mean. > Alice Springs is a town right the middle of Aus... they mine opals there and because its fucken hot some people live underground in homes that used to be small mining plots. hence: "so many opals, nobody here knows what to believe. They've got me underground." umm whatelse? I burnt a Ben Lee bootleg last night for a trade but I accidentally put gaps between the tracks. (big breach of bootleg etiquette) so its a freebie for the first person who emails me. Oh yeah, the latest Ben Lee CD single has a enhanced section with video of him as a 11 year old on the Aus version of the Nick show Double Dare. very funny. oh here's an idea... I remember someone on this list managed to pass a cd cover or something to Janet, and eventually Liz signed it and mailed it back to the owner. Lets have an archive of questions Support System listers would love to ask Liz Phair, and whenever you go to a concert print it out, write your mailing address on the top and try to pass it on to her the band. This would have been a better idea two or three months ago, but there are still the August shows on the 13th,14th, 17th and 18th in Pittsburgh,Detroit, Cleveland and Indianapolis respectively. I'm not sure if hollywoodandvine/lizphair is updated regularly but here is something from the main page: "While in the past Liz has only toured sporadically, and even then often doing solo acoustic performances, she will be touring with a full band for this album, first on several Lilith Fair (Phair?) dates this summer (July 15 through mid-August), then full international touring beginning in September." But the link shows no such dates. damnation chris NP: Ben Harper, The Will To Live "With my friends I used to follow nearly everybody's daughter.

I never knew I'd be typing that word, esp. to Support-System. Liz should do an ad campaign for Funyons. Just JOKING! No really... Funyons are so unpretentious, you know? I don't think I've ever even seen an ad for them. THey're so weird, though. But not as weird as the flavors of "crisps" they have here in the UK, like chicken flavor, meat flavor, wierd combination flavors, etc. I thought that stuff was reserved for dog bones, you know? Anyway... M.L. Magdalene (and I always wonder, is this your real name?), your Liz dream is hilarious!

In "Can't Get Out of What I'm Into" Liz says "O Lord, why have you forsaken me?" Well, I know that's in the Bible, but it's also in the song "Blessed" by Simon and Garfunkel.

England welcomes all its overseas visitors with its traditional few days of yucky humid clammy heat. Any though of going to gigs is right out as most venues don't have a/c. There is quite a good offering on Wednesday 4th at the Barfly in Camden when Chris Starling (as featured on the Dreamy Records "Head In The Clouds" cd) is first on stage. This means you can have an early night and not have to suffer the heat of the tiny venue too much. I might even go! Hope all the visitors are enjoying themselves over here. Sorry to see Nicole falling for brit guys. I hope she's showing some taste and not going for the short haired, Ben Sherman shirted, football loving, laddish, stupid, Oasis loving typical Brit. Wouldn't it be nice if women went for the skinny, shy, long haired, real music loving, awkward, clumsy, non-typical brits. Ahhh, we can all dream. Take care on these mean streets my friends.

"hi, mr. gramm!(what else was i gonna say?) i had no idea you were a big luna fan!" i mean really, it's pretty hard to picture this guy, after a hard day of voting against abortion rights, and trying to give away public school dollars to exclusive religious schools, coming home and sliding "pup tent" into the cd player. nonetheless, he was affable and more than willing to chat. it turns out his son jeff was lead singer of the opening band, "aden." he and the wife were there because they wanted to see him play. that's cool, i thought. shit, i used to have an awful time getting my parents to come to my track meets in high school. anyway, yes, they were good. not exactly bursting with energy- i found myself talking with katie through most of their set- but i liked their sound. thumbs up. anyway, the esteemed senator really seemed to enjoy talking to us. i mean we did sort of have the upper hand because the 9:30 club was like our turf (by comparison), and he looked and acted like he had just come from playing golf. but after a few minutes jeff himself came and joined the conversation, and i think we were all pretty comfortable. jeff had to go to some effort at one point to assure his mom she wouldn't be horrified by luna. i think they may have been expecting metallica or something. and afterall, there were no bodyguards. during the set, they stood on the balcony w/ all the other happy fans just like they had been there a hundred times. i think the senator was proud. makes me wonder what's going on inside his head the rest of the week. they didn't stay for luna, i don't think. that's a shame, cause they were really good. the end. - -brian- p.s.: mrs. phil gramm wasn't allowed to have a beer at the 9:30 club because she forgot her i.d. now that's funny to me. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 13:14:34 PDT From: "Katie Brown" Subject: oops i just sent that message about SPIN and sure enough realized my mistake. it was the 99 best albums of the DECADE not the year, DUH! then why would it be exile? i need to go into detox. hey, does golden seal root actually WORK? sigh, KB _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Subject: HELP me, please Agh... I just found another song that Liz borrowed from, only I can't figure out what the song is called or who the artist is, but I know teh line, if you call me I'll sing it for you. It's the line in "Stuck On An Island" wherein Liz sings "you've got me crying over you". I can hear the original song in m y head, it's an oldie... it's like " you've got me cryyyyyin' over you...." Anyone? Please? About "Heaven Tonight" (the Hole song), sometimes I listen toa lbums alot and never think about the lyrics, but when s omeone mentioned htis was about Frances Bean, I went back and listened, and it's such a sweet song! What a nice tribute to Courtney's daughter. I still wonder how much she is involved in raising her, because Ihave never heard at all any figures, but oh well... Poor kid is always going to have to deal with living in the shadow of Kurt and the stigma of Courtney. I find nothing wrong with Courtney, but many people do. Okay adn the girl who would rather do it wiht Melissa Auf Der Maur or Courtney or Shirley Manson, I decided you like dominating women, women who look like they could kill you with a look. Liz and Gillian Anderson are still the only two women I'm attracted to, but I don't even know if I'd necessarily like... be sexual with them. I'v etried to picture it and i mean... I can never really get past kissing. I guess that makes me basically... straight. Too bad for me (enter bitterness about men... hahaha!) Oh and Liz wins if I was to choose betweeen her and Gillian...

I doubt that Trent was making any reference to Tori by using the word "starfucker" in his song; it's likely just a coincidence. The term is a common one, and dates back to long before either of them were making music. The first use of it that I know of is in a Rolling Stones song by that name that they played live as early as 1973. I don't think it's on any of their albums, though. Joan Jett covered it in 1983 on _Album_, but was forced to change the title to "Star Star" to ward off the threat of some stores not stocking the album. As for the NIN song, not to fuel any speculation here, but all of the rumors I've heard about it point to it having been written about Courtney Love. Who knows, though?

What else could be better? Got the news that my theater is getting it next weekend so I can see the movie a million times if I like. =))))))) Now, here's an interesting story. Chatting with a new Liz phan right now. This guy is telling me he's 17 and wants to know how old I am. Geez. Stop Flowering me. That's one thing I do not get at all. Why does it seem like older women can attract younger men? I could be wrong here, but lately, younger men have been seeking me out. Happens waaaay too many times. Oh yeah, did anyone catch Liz commenting Madonna for Vh1's Greatest Women thing? I nearly choked cuz the quote they had her doing was kinda cheezy. "And when Lucky Star came on the radio, it was like me and my friends found our star." Uhh...I know Liz likes Madonna, but why use that quote? > What a dope, he tripped on a rope, > now look at him shiver. > Katie ();) > >that is so cool.... i really like that. Courtesy of Christian Slater from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. One of dem movies that gets overplayed on 12543465234 channels I get. "There was a rich man from Notting Ham who tried to cross the river. What a dope, he tripped on a rope. Now look at him shiver." More movie related stuff, but some Liz content. There's some Elmo movie coming out soon and I guess that sorta explains why I keep getting this dream of Liz appearing on Sesame Street. I'm sorry, that Elmo voice is sooo annoying and I hear it way too many times at work. Work overload, and I stink like popcorn. Butter on that sir?
