The highlight of her portion of the evening was her guitarist and >>his abilities on stage. He played well; he performed well, and he actually >>looked at the crowd. He did not act like a member of the back-up band for >>a big star.<< >>Also Phair's son has been ill and that seemed to be causing a lot of >>stress. So much stress that she was not able to take a couple of minutes >>out of her evening to tell The Snapper what she thought about the show or >>the school. Her son may be important, and travelling can cause stress, >>but it is one of those business things one has to deal with. She is a >>rock star, or is assumed to be one. She has the responsibility to travel >>in order to do her shows; and yes, occasionally a flight will be >>cancelled, and yes, occasionally every child becomes ill. The best thing >>to do is either stay at home with them or go and do your job, which is to >>have fun, which creates fun for others who are paying you to do so.<< o _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2002 19:47:46 -0800 From: Kenneth Lee Subject: Re: soaking up soak up the sun "over pavema" wrote: >rollingstone.com or launch had a story saying liz co-wrote 'soak up the >sun', but i don't remember seeing that anywhere else... royalties, >royalties, royalties... good for liz if it's true. Alas, Liz did not co-write "Soak Up The Sun". The song was co-written by Sheryl Crow and Jeff Trott, and the pair also co-produced the song. - -Ken kenmlee@ix.netcom.com MeSmErIzInG - AnOtHeR LiZ PhAiR WeBsItE http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/2471/ ------------------------------ End of support-system-digest V5 #57 ***********************************
