subject:      chords?

now i have the words for play it again sam (although i thought the last two
lines on the copy i used to have were "i know i'll see a few hands joined
before my dying day" coz she said those were the only lines of hope in the
whole song...anyway thanks jh, coz i couldn't remember the rest of the
song...) so now all i need is the chords...anyone? please?

thanks!

happy birthday alex and tamara!!! "...the hatches were battened
thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed battles surrounded the white
flag of your youth but if you need to know that you weathered the storm of
cruel mortality a hundred years later i'm sitting here living proof..."
"...i am on only child born of the wild..."

hey y'all,

    there was some discussion last week about ig doing uncle john's band in
concert.  i guess we were thinking that they never did it live.  well, i
was just updating my song lists for my boots and it's listed as one of the
songs on my 4/25/91 boot from dartmouth.  so they have done it live.

--sunny
popping that boot into the tape deck right now!

happy birthday mike!! "the big blue sky's like a swimming pool big fluffy
clouds like a feather bed..." :)

hello!
      well, being totally swamped by work and dubbing and such, i probably
should not be doing this, but lately the generosity of the people on this
list has been slightly inspirational... so, i wanted to try and help out the
bootless, if you will. (btw, hoppy easter!)  i now have cd copies of "blood
and fire", "complicated girls", and "nothing to hide".  i would love trades,
i would, but, for those of you who have nothing to trade, blanks and sase's
are just dandy! =)  whatever.  the catch is that i'm limiting this offer to
the people that reply by the end of wednesday, the tenth.  i am already
behind on a trade or two, but i will do my best to be prompt.  first come,
first serve.  see all of youse later!  peace, love, and nothing to hide,
sarah

..a lurker delurks
read sharons intro and
< terry pratchett... haven't met an
americans yet who know who he is :) anyone out there a fellow discworld
reader?>
and rose to the bait. yeah, i've read many of the discworld series and
"good omens" which he co-authored is one of my many all-time favorites
i.e. books i have/will read more than once. while i'm here i might as
well lay claim to the title of the oldest list member. how old ? don't
ask unless you're over 50 and want to fight me for the title :-)) you
young'uns out there are probably thinking " whats a nice(?) old lady
(?) doing on a list like this." the answer obviously is - i love the
igs and there music( which i only discovered in ' 95 and i ain't no
lady! for those who are interested a brief bio follows
name:marilyn macvey aka m, mare, mac and mongoose
dob: march 1
native of vancouver bc, canada, ubc grad. currently living on a small
farm in madonna, md. (it's had the name for more than 100 years)
occupation: member of a pit crew in the demolition derby called life.
pets: 5 dogs ( tyrone, a lurcher(lurker), maggie a basset,heidi, old
dobie, and pop-pop an ancient english pointer, and kt an 8 wk old mutt
( 4/5 were strays or given to me). 4 cats : sunny ( reincarnated
paper-weight), murmer, and sibs tick and beetle. horses ( too many), 3
cows- all old, rescued from their bovine fate, now lawn ornaments.
i like: reading- omnivorous, but history, scifi, fantasy and poetry
predominate. currently i can't pass up anything by d.brin
(earthclan/uplift wars), cj cherryh, robert jordan( the never
ending-wheel of time trilogy), tad williams and imho patrick o'brian,
the best storyteller currently around.. music:- ig (of course), i'm an
old folky and am happy to see the resurgence of the
singers/songwriters. my other current favorites are too numerous and
all have been mentioned here before. for the ancient one's i've been
looking for some erik darling (played a great banjo and bottle-neck
guitar).all things equine. the great out-doors - g.o.d. for short,
camping, hiking, sea-kayaking, rowing and sailing. or just sitting and
contemplating. working with wood. plunking on my guitar, or trying to
play various other instruments
i dislike: suits- ie people who specialize in telling others how to
work but are reluctant to roll up there sleeves and pitch in and get
dirty. encroaching suburbia. clear-cuts.
stupid human tricks: jumping horses
i'm passionate about the environment and the need for diversity and all
forms of life and reject the anthropocentric view.
i want to- kayak the coast of bc and alaska, sail around the world and
go to an ig concert.
words i try to live by: sine periculo friget lusus- i can't remember
who first said that but for the latin-impaired it means - without risk
the game grows cold.:-)
that may not seem brief but it's hard to compress almost 5 decades of
living.i try to keep current with this list and the people involved
come across as very caring souls. moo!! i probably won't post often as
i have fences to repair etc.
re-lurking...

keep on keepin' on.( b. dylan)

anyway this post has nothing to do with anything but i'm going to write
it anyway:) here at asu we have a student run tv station where they play
movies. you may think "gee, how nice! they can play educational and
meaningful movies that have a possibilty of enhancing a students education".
but oh how wrong you are. only classics like "showgirls" and "caddy
shack" are played on this fine television station.
anyway, i came home from rehersal last night and saw "poltergeist" was
on. i have never really seen it before so i decided to watch it. o.k.
girl gets taken in by some ghost, a television is involved and she gets
saved. pretty simplistic and too the point,right? just as i thought the
movie was ending i see that the father decides to sleep in the house one
more night. well, i'm sorry i just about lost it there.
how stupid can you get? after all that shit the family just decides to
stay in the house thinking nothing will happen. i mean come on! my ass
would be out of there as soon as my daughter was saved. what was the
point of staying in the house? then i thought this happens in
"ammityville horror" also. why are people so compelled to stay in these
houses which are obviously evil. it just gets so damned irratating!
sorry to take up space,
ben

hi all,

just got done dying easter eggs. i was especially proud of my amy and
emily egg. it's blue, has a peace sign and a smily face. it kinda looks
like sidewalk chalk. pretty neato.

                                back to the rat race,
                                happy easter,
                                sharon

maybe this is kind of a long shot, but do you think that we as a list of
indigo worshippers could maybe do something for her for her b-day?
wouldn't that be cuuu-uute? any ideas?
-mandy

>did anyone catch the writer's night at eddie's attic on thursday the 4th of
>april? according to the website amy and danielle howle played. amy is scheduled
>to play on the 24th with michael lorant and sheila doyle.

actually the lineup changed a bit, but yes, i made it. instead of michael
and shelia, there were bill taft (of smoke, doing hilarious spoken word
stuff), anne richardson and her well-known flute (along with a friend on
guitar), amy, and danielle.

then after the intermission, bill had to go to a gig and guess who hopped
on stage.... emily! a nice short set with the usual writer's
format-in-the-round, just a couple of songs-in-process from each ig.

the place was surprisingly uncrowded, which made it all the nicer. sorry i
don't know song titles, though i know one of them was amy's don't give that
girl a gun.

danielle, by the way, was terrific. first time i've seen her solo, and she
more than held her own.

take care, all.

i know, i know, i'm pushing my luck, first i beg for the sxsw boot (still
begging for that, btw...anyone? please?) and now i'm begging for the
writer's night. but i figured it might be a bit easier to come by...aren't
they radio broadcast as well? the other writer's night tape that i have
sounds like a radio broadcast...anyway, hopefully either someone there
caught it or someone heard it on the radio?

i'm running out of things to sacrifice...of course, i have tapes to trade,
but i can also offer that i will never eat a bite of easter candy again
(considering the number of malted milkballs i have eaten in the past week,
this is not an offer to be taken lightly), my secondborn (i think my
firstborn is still the up for grabs for the sxsw boot), ummm, a really bad
photo of amy ray...actually i have several really bad amy ray photos (you
see that blur over there, mhmm, that's her...no really, i mean it...) i
think i even have some bad emily photos...ummm, a copy of betty crocker's
easy meatless dishes? some key lime yogurt? a postcard i forgot to send to
my grandmother?

*grovel grovel*

please respond to my mailbox! as i said, i have tapes to trade both ig and
melissa etheridge and many others, etc etc etc etc....

thank you in advance for your help/cooperation!

better. nick park just won yet another well-deserved oscar for it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

there was this male engineer, on a cruise ship in the caribbean
for  the first time.  it was wonderful, the experience of his
life.  he was  being waited on hand an foot.  but, it did not
last.  a hurricane came up unexpectedly.  the ship went down
almost instantly.

the man found himself, he knew not how, swept up on the shore of
an island. there was nothing else anywhere to be seen.  no person,
no supplies, nothing.  the man looked around.  there were some
bananas and coconuts, but that was it.  he was desperate, and
forlorn, but decided to make the best of it. so for the next four
months he ate bananas, drank coconut juice and mostly looked to
the sea mightily for a ship to come to his rescue.

one day, as he was lying on the beech stroking his beard and
looking  for a ship, he spotted movement out of the corner of his
eye.  could it be true, was it a ship?  no, from around the corner
of the island came this rowboat. in it was the most gorgeous woman
he had ever seen, or at least seen in 4 months.  she was tall,

tanned, and her blond hair flowing in the sea breeze gave her an
almost ethereal quality. she spotted him also as he was waving and
yelling and screaming to get her attention. she rowed her boat

towards him.

in disbelief, he asked, "where did you come from? how did you get
here"?

she said, "i rowed from the other side of the island.  i landed
  on this island when my cruise ship sank"
"amazing", he said, "i didn't know anyone else had survived.  how
  many of you are there?  where, did you get the rowboat?  you must
  have been really lucky to have a rowboat wash-up with you?"

"it is only me", she said, "and the rowboat didn't wash up,
nothing else did."

"well then", said the man, "how did you get the rowboat?"
i made the rowboat out of raw material that i found on the
  island, replied  the woman.  the oars were whittled from gum tree
  branches,  i wove the bottom from palm branches, and the sides
  and stern came from a eucalyptus tree".

"but, but, asked the man, what about tools and hardware, how did
you do that?"

"oh, no problem, replied the woman, on the south side of the
  island there is a very unusual strata of alluvial rock exposed.
  i found that if i fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln,
  it melted into forgeable ductile iron.  i used that for tools,
  and used the tools to make the hardware.  but, enough of that,
  she said.  where do you live?"

at last the man was forced to confess that he had been
  sleeping on the beach.
"well, let's row over to my place, she said."  so they both got
  into the rowboat and left for her side of island.

the woman easily rowed them around to a wharf that led to the
approach to her place. she tied up the rowboat with a beautifully
woven hemp rope. they walked up a stone walk and around a palm
tree, there stood an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white.

"it's not much, she said, but i call it home. sit down please,
would you like to have a drink?"
"no, said the man, one more coconut juice and i will puke."

"it won't be coconut juice, the woman replied, i have a still,
how about a pina colada? trying to hide his continued
amazement, the man accepted, and they sat down on her couch to
talk.

after a while, and they had exchanged their stories, the woman
asked, "tell me, have you always had a beard?"
"no", the man replied, "i was clean shaven all of my life, and
  even on the cruise ship".
"well if you would like to shave, there is a man's razor upstairs
in the cabinet in the bathroom." so, the man, no longer
questioning anything, went upstairs to the bath  room. there in
the cabinet was a razor made from a bone handle, two shells honed
to a hollow ground edge were fastened on to its end inside of a
swivel mechanism.  the man shaved, showered and went back down
stairs..

"you look great, said the woman, i think i will go up and slip
into something more comfortable." so she did.

and, the man continued to sip his pina colada. after a short
time, the woman returned wearing fig leafs strategically
positioned and smelling faintly of gardenia.

"tell me, she asked, we have both been out here for a very long
time with no companionship. you know what i mean. have you been
lonely, is there anything that you really miss? something that
all men and woman need. something that it would be really nice to
have right now."

"yes there is, the man replied, as he moved closer to the woman
while fixing a winsome gaze upon her, "tell me ... do you
happen to have an internet connection?"

huh?

what is the quality, production wise? is it a good film job, or is it
something recording from a single point of view? i just have this image of a
person in the audience filming it, or a camera along side of the
stage......like parents film their childrens' plays. just making sure before
i invest.

hey y'all!

hope everyone is doing well, for a monday! (ick)!

anyway, i was thinking what we could do on friday for amy's birthday.  i
wrote to my congressman, but she didnt agree that it should be a federally
paid holiday...fascist!  so, i thought that us list-ers could just dedicate
friday totally to amy.  no nigc...nothing except amy.  what do you all think?
i thought that we could all just post stories about ar.  her music, meeting
her, all that sort of stuff!

we've gotta do something to celebrate!
maybe i'll make a birthday cake!

what do you guys think?

that's fine but only if we do the same on emily's birthday.  i've felt for
some time now that she gets neglected, because we all
(generalization/stereotype/badbadbad) feel like amy is so much more
powerful and raw.  but that's wrong; e's voice/style is just different,
and we should appreciate her just as much.  corny, blah blah blah, but i mean
it.  the other side of it is that i see amy becoming too much of a
goddess/heroine in our eyes, do y'all know what i mean?

> maybe i'll make a birthday cake!
her favorite is rasberry and chocolate layer cake.

just kidding! see, that's the kind of stuff we just have no business
knowing, nor do we need to, really, although it might be fun to start a
thread of 'what kind of birthday cake would you give each girl', like the dog
one.

oh, i know what i'm trying to say! it's like beatlemania, where at the
concerts all the girls were just screaming cause they were so happy to be
in the same room with the fab 4, and nobody could hear the songs, so
eventually they stopped performing live. we sure wouldn't want that.

sorry for the rant. it's been a long time building.

peace,
karey

hey everybody!!
remember 'bout a month or so back when a few of us were having "schoolhouse
rock" flashbacks? well, it was mentioned that there would be a tribute album
released and -ta-da!!! it's out apparently.
it's got the lemonheads, pavement, moby, blind :p melon, folk implosion,
buffalo tom, daniel johnston & more! (wow! i sound like a commercial here!)
unfortunately that rumored juliana hatfield version of conjunction junction is
nowhere to be seen. *sob!!!!!!!!!!*
just thought ya might like to know about it ;)
rick
****if i had a choice i'd take the voice i got 'cause it was hard to find.
i've come too far to wind up right back where i started****j.napolitano
wow! rick has a home page!! http://home.aol.com/rbsayre

   since i'm still fairly new to this i was wondering if someone
could tell me how you all come up with the song of the day? does one
person decide or is it just whoever posts first? was there a list i
missed?  i mostly lurk, anyway, but i still wanna know...
                   sharon

   okay, now i know how the song of the day works...i should have noticed
that the songs go in order of the albums, but i had disk errors! my
server crashed three times, ate my incoming mail...er, that's it!
  thanks for putting up with my thick head.
                     sharon(who is smacking herself in the forehead)

hey, y'all!  i've been "lurking" for a while but figured i'd jump in.  here
goes from another texan... the screen name "cyndigo" comes from my first name
(cyndi) and of course, the girls.  cute, huh?  thought it up myself...i live
in the river city (aka san antonio, home of the spurs), was 44 on 3/10, love
baseball, music of all kinds (ig natch, me, dave matthews band, joan o.,
springsteen, steve earle,  k.d., boyz 2 men, etc.).

favorite ig song:  definitely kf, with many strong favorites following close
behind.  two concerts under my belt, one from the second row!  got some
pretty good pictures, too...i also have an autographed 8x10 of a&e - are you
jealous yet??  thanks for the tip on the jcs video - i called and ordered it
from rdr today (thanks for the explanation, nancy).

got to get back to watching my boys (houston astros, especially jeff bagwell)
beat the giants. catch y'all later.

ok, questions and wishes:
1.any ig boots that someone would be willing to make/sell me (i have nothing to
trade back, so this would have to be an act of kindness-i know there are some
charitable souls out there!)
i"ll take anything!!
2. as for the question (just one of those things you wonder at 3 am in the
morning...)
what are a's and e's middle names???
3.also a comment: i hate all the listmembers that live in atl and get to see ig
rather frequently !!!!(this is meant as an extreme case of envy, not as real
hatred-i could never hate anyone that loves ig...)
thanx for paying attention to me!

great idea!!! i'm gettin' nervous about which quote to pick for the two
other people who have a birthday on friday :] it'll definitely be an amy
quote :) if y'all have any suggestions, please email me privately...thanks!!!

i like jan's idea for friday... "all amy. all day."
(kinda sounds like the slogan for one of those radio stations that only
plays one artist's music exclusively, i.e., elvis, beatles, etc. i can
see it now "the all-amy network" (ggg))

   i sure wouldn't mind a whole day of amy on friday!  i agree with the
person who pointed out that we need to do this for emily, too, but we
have plenty of time to plan that...
     yay, a day for amy!

musical interests: dah...ig! (too many concerts to count...none since i moved

hi, karen again, just wanted to say that i'm from new hampshire too
(northfield, twenty minutes north of concord) and that i"m going to school
in eugene, or, so you can add me to both places on the survey if you want...

also, the mystery boot jen was asking about is i believe from chapel hill,
nc in either 1989 or 87 (my memory is going)  it's about 110 min, and has
stories about emily getting a speeding ticket on the way there and another
trip where amy's boots fell out of the back of the van...the reason i post
this here is that my tape is at home (in nh, see it did tie in!) and so i
hope to help by describing it slightly (very slightly) better so that
someone else will recognize it and tape it for jen!  it is a great boot,
taped off the soundboard too.  i don't know why i left it at home, probably
because it wasn't labelled...hope this helps.

anyone dug up that writer's night tape yet? please? *still grovelling*

quite frankly by friday i'll eat anything that resembles bread or
cake or whatever. it's day 5-1/2 of this matzoh thing and i'm going
nuts (which, we can eat; as opposed to corn-nuts, which we can't).
this discipline thing isn't making me any more endearing to be around.

happy passover to all (& easter just about everyone else on the list).

regards,

melissa

hi folks,

some of you were inquiring as to amy's and emily's middle names...
in the liner notes of "the best of mountain stage live - volume five" it lists
ig as emily saliers and amy elizabeth ray. i have no clue what emily's
middle name is. can anyone enlighten us?

peace, love, moo and cute middle names,

joan :)

when you think about the time difference in taipei and the north america
(13-16 hours) we were probably born approximately at the same time:)

anyone else from taipei????

...

indigo originals is a collection of songs written but not officially released
by emily saliers and amy ray: indigo girls. spanning ten years from their
first recording in 1981 (which also produced 'back together
again' as heard on 1200 curfews) to a radio session for wrfg's 'what the
folk' in 1990.

due to the nature of this compilation, tracks have been selected from many
sources, not always the best in quality, but the songs themselves are never
substandard. on the contrary, many are lost gems, especially the achingly
beautiful 'untitled song.'from lovers to killers (squeaky fromme was one of
charles manson's accomplice) these songs display a wide range of emotions;
for example talking about pretty vision, amy says, "i wrote it about a friend
that od'd...it's about finding things in yourself instead of doing drugs."
hopefully some of these classics will one day be given official release...

hi all,

i've been lurking for quite a while now (over a year) with only a few posts.
but, this bio thing has pulled me back in - i'm from ma and we are so close
to the lead!

age: 27...ok,ok, i'm almost 28 - b-day shared with amy on april 12.

from: i live in belmont ma right now, moved up from atlanta last year. i
was down there for two years for grad school.

...biking, skiing, running, camping, hiking and all that good stuff.  oh,
also rollerblading...  we love to travel and stay in b&b's all over the
place.  we are also big movie fans - as someone else mentioned, fargo is
great - you should check it out...

otherstuff...no pets (they aren't allowed in my apt - or we'd have a cat!),
been an ig fan since about 1989. seen them live about 5 times or so. my
musical tastes are quite varied (everything probably mentioned already) but
ig cd's are always top of the pile...

that's it, better make it at least look like i am working. it's been fun as
a lurker, thanks for all the great reading!

hey y'all,

    so i noticed someone wondering what a&e's middle names are.  well, i
don't know.  but that brings up a story.  let's see.....it was last year
sometime and during their swamp tour when a&e came to santa fe (not the
same show where lesbian avengers gave them t-shirts---that's hte tour few
months later) anyways, so they were here for a show and this cool, now
defunct, radio station was giving away backstage passes.  the catch was
they would ask questions about the girls and people had to call in, not
with the correct answer, but with the most creative answer.  they asked
questions like "what is swamp ophelia?"  "what is the color indigo", etc.
they would ask the same question at 11 am and 1 pm.  so on this fateful day
my bestest friend in the world and i were hangin' out at my pad listening
to the radio and they asked "who are amy and emily named after?"  we didn't
have an answer, we just tried to call in and get through, thinking it would
hit us once the dj answered.  we couldn't get through   :(  the lines were
jammed!  then technology hit.  the radio statio must have a fax line.  well
after all the 11 o'clock hoopla died down and they got an 11 o'clock winner
we came up with an answer.  afraid we wouldn't be able to get through at 1
pm we called the dj and asked her if she would accept a faxed answer.  she
said "sure,
go ahead and fax it in now and we use it at 1 pm.  cool!!! cool, cool!!  so
the question again was "who are a&e named after"  kinda a two part
question.  well my friend said emily dickenson (of course)  and i walked
around in circles trying to think of some famous amy.  couldn't.  so i just
said "amy sappho"  the dj loved it!  we won the backstage passes and the
complete ig cd collection, which i already had, but my friend didn't.  so
yea, that was the first time i got to meet the girls!

subject:      (nigc) - me.....oh, texas & mass are now tied in the stats !!

these bio's have made me realize just how many ig fans are also me & k.d.
lang fans.  i've seen a number of posts state that they are unhappy with me
now, with her new release.  gee, i thought i was the only one.  i couldn't
wait for her new album. i got into her with "yes i am".  this new cd - i
just can't get into.  but what blew me away were the pictures of me in the
cd.  how glitzy.  a number of months ago, i started the "would ig ever go
'hollywood' " post.  me has definitely gone hollywood...and i can see from
other listers that i'm not the only one who's not impressed.

how is the new cd / singles doing on the charts? does anyone know? she
does seem to still be releasing the singles. "i want to come over" is a
good tune, but i do miss her acoustic.

how 'bout k.d. new cd. it did bomb didn't it??

- jen hall

soooo what ever happened to the song of the day deal ?
are we takin' a break ?
i don't know what day it is (tuesday)- 3 hours sleep- (ack)

okay.. i was heading home from my folks house late sunday night
and i was thinking about chickenman and why i allways associate
the song with road kill rather that excentric old men, when out of the
corner of my eye what should i spy but two glowing eyes on the
roadside. i stopped and observed a live opossum so i proceeded
carefully only to feel and hear two sickening "thunk thunks" as
the left tire of my truck rolled over a medium small object.

oh my god thought i, i've killed that poor little opossums friend !
but i swear i didn't see anything in the road !!!! hey, only a
'possum would walk in front of a stopped truck to it's doom.
never the less i was afraid to stop and witness the slaughter that i
was sure had occured. i continued home, racked with guilt
and wondering at the irony of it all.

the next day i discovered that i did not run over a 'possum but
had, in fact, run over my work notebook containing apx.
$1,000 worth of finished planting audits that i had earlier
prepared for invoicing, then placed on the hood of my truck..
not only was i faced with a loss but 2 crews of tree planters
were relying on my audits for their payments...even a weeks
delay can get ugly :(
the next day........
as my brother and i searched the street gutters for my papers
and visions of my life as an x forestry contractor flashed through
my mind, i told him of the opossum incident and he suggested that
i was being punnished for not checking on the opossum that i thought
i had kilt the night before. i tend to agree.
with shame,
claire
but i'm not a killer :)
i found my papers :)
i learned my lesson :)
while searching for my papers we saw 2 kilt squirrels
and 1 expired opossum
must sleep now......

two things simply must be said here. first: i won't post my whole bio, but
since we have _no_one_ from pa yet, i'm here to say, i'm from pa, and i know
there are a few more of us out there!

secondly:

>some time now that she gets neglected, because we all
>(generalization/stereotype/badbadbad) feel like amy is so much more
>powerful and raw.  but that's wrong; e's voice/style is just different,
>and we should appreciate her just as much.  corny, blah blah blah, but i mean
>it.  the other side of it is that i see amy becoming too much of a
>goddess/heroine in our eyes, do y'all know what i mean?

ok, i know what you're trying to say, and i _totally_ agree with you, but i
really need to add something. why is it that people act like they have to
_force_ themselves to notice/appreciate emily? are you kidding? can you say,
"one of the most incredible, sweet, talented, beautiful, wonderful performers
on the planet?" can you say, "land of canaan, and strange fire solos?" can you
say, "every time i hear her really punch something out with that voice of hers
i'm in heaven?" can you say, "i wish i had as much talent and grace as she has
in her left pinky?" c'mon people! let's hear three cheers for emily!

emily! emily! emily!

there. i feel better now.

hey all... what to say about chickenman?... well all i've got is a "cutesie"
thang related to it. see, my good friend went on a trip up north to the nwt
to visit her brother, and while traveling began looking for a gift of some
sort to bring back to me. she knows i'm a bit of an ig fan, so she was
looking for an ig something or other... and bought the closest she could
find - a
small rubber chicken to hang from my rear view mirror!!!!. she said it
reminded her of the song chickenman. so... now i drive round town in my
snazzy black van with a rubber chicken named chickenman dangling happily
over my dash for all to see. i am too classy.
oh, and i notice that a tally of sorts is being done concerning list members
+ where they're from... and, me, i forgot to say where i'm at...
(geographically, i mean. my mental state is a whole differnt ball game )
is there no-one else on this list who's from bc canada?.... i find that hard
to believe, since living in such a great place just naturally should mean
the person is predisposed to have excellant taste.... being an ig fan would
be a given.
anyways... i'm in powell river, bc canada.... so, there's at least one of us
on the list :- ) i am also an me + kd fan.... so there ya go...( jen :- ) )
but at times i listen to stevie rae vaghn.... i like the cranberries, annie
lennox
( the medusa cd is excellant ), joan osborne, allanis morrisette, allanah
myles, mary chapin carpenter, jan arden etc etc etc... this is getting way
too long.
peace and a huge lack of roadkill in your lives ( poor claire... i sympathize)

i've been lurking for a long time now.  decided michigan needed to get her
percent up though so i thought i'd help.
don't have time to hit return all those times so i'll just be short and sweet.
    my name is jason skiba and i'm a journalism/education major at msu (there
aren't too many of us i'm afraid.  journalism is a weird field to major in if
you're going to teach high school but it's my favorite so...)  msu by the way
is michigan state university.  i'm skipping history class right now cause i
just don't have the energy to go.  my roommate is my best friend of eight
years.
    favorite ig song is closer to fine because two friends of mine (angie and
jenna, if you're out there say hi!) sang it at a local talent show in high
school and won first prize (surprise.)  it's the song that got me hooked on the
girls and i'm still loving em.  hope somemore of you mi people get on the ball
and write.  let's put ma in the dust.  (nothing personal of course.)

hello everyone
sorry about the nigc but i have a big problem and i figured i'd porobably get
the best advice if i put it to a much wider audience.
    i go to michigan state university and it's gay pride week here.  now i'm
not gay but my roommate is.  i think it's cool and no problems, friends
forever, blah, blah, blah.
    the trouble is that not everyone in this backwards school is so comfortable
with homosexuals.  not two day ago, there was an opinion article in our paper
supporting the law some congresswoman wants to put to vote against same sex
marriages.  anyway, that's alot of the mentality here.
    also, a lot of the frats are not dealing well with the whole gay pride
thing.  there have been eggings, scratched cars, yelled slurs.  now that's
probably everyday bullshit and i wouldn't be so worried except that one of my
friends mentioned he knew somebody that knew my roommate was gay and that
well... things might just start happening to him or our room as an "example"
as soon as i heard that, i went and talked to a higher-up but all she could say
was that they couldn't do anything untill something happened.
    my dilemma- first should i say anything to my roommate?  he gets a little
freaked out about this kind of thing and obviously i'm not positive anythings
going to happen.
    also, should i mention drop a hint to stupid frat boy that i know what's
going on?  i
i just don't know what to do.  to tell you the truth, it makes me worry just a
little bit myself.
    i didn't know who else to ask for advice.  i don't know that many people
who ever had to deal with something like this and it bugs me just a little bit.
    sorry this had to be so long but i neede to ask someone.
    please e-mail privately so as not to bother the list with anymore of this.
thank you!!!

p.s. sorry to use list space...

hello all!

de-lurking momentarily to ask for some help...

my best friend owns a health food store and is interested in carrying one or
two magazines geared toward gays and/or lesbians.  she's thinking of
carrying out because it seems to be very popular, but i said i'd check with
y'all and see if anyone cared to offer any feedback.  i'm thinking that
there are probably some lesser-known mags that are also good.  she doesn't
necessarily care if they are health-oriented, just wants some magazines
available to let gays and lesbians know that they are welcome :).

thanks!
stacy, aka mooch

     i had to comment on this song. i warn you now, it will be a long post.
     most of my friends have said they hated this song when they first
listened to it but it sortof grew on them.  however, it's at the top of my list.
     i didn't really understand it for a while, until i heard amy do her soc
in the brisbane 2/22/95 concert.  she started telling the story and i
thought "oh good, i'll finally know what this song is about." well i was in
a really depressed mood that day, my life sucked, my parents are alcoholics
and i was living with them and working with them, i'd just watched some show
about the destruction of the beautiful mayan civilization by the
conquistadors and another show on how humankind had killed the wooly mammoth
and all these horrible thoughts were burbling around in my mind.
     so as i listened to the tape, amy started telling the story about how
they (the igs) had been having all these similar horrible thoughts, all the
dead things on the highway even down to the 5000 grasshoppers suiciding on
the windshield.  the fast food.  a string of bad shows.  the woman amy had
jogged by who had been beaten and left for dead.
     then she went on to talk about how they reached texas and it was so
beautiful there and she stopped at this garage sale hoping to find some cool
stuff to bring up her self-esteem and to revitalize her view of the world
but instead she found this grungy old guy who was her guru who showed her
that she was being rude, materialistic and a number of other unflattering
things. yes, that's right, the chickenman.  covered in shit and grime, but
something about him spoke to her, hit something in her soul and made her
hold up a mirror to herself, to see what she'd become.
     she then tries to think of things to ask him, to help her understand
what's happened to her life and she tries to go through this whole spectrum
in her mind: do you have a boyfriend? do you have a girlfriend? do you
believe in god? are you an anthiest? a buddhist?  what do you see when you
look up at the sky at night?  are you afraid to die?  do you ever want to
leave here, just hop in a car and go?  what do you think when you see all
these dying animals on the side of the road, do you ask why you must die? do
you ask if there is more than life than this?  is this the price of freedom?
but most of all i think she wanted to know how he can survive through all
this death and destruction and still be peaceful, happy, complacent.  how
can you be so damn peaceful? she shouts as the last line of the soc.
     the crowd is dead silent, all the instruments have stopped, it just
echos out through the building.  by this point i was in tears, totally blown
away by this song, i wrote my friends this 16 page letter about how my life
was all wrong, about how mankind destroyed so much pointlessly.  i copied
out the soc for them, trying to make them see the power of it all, the
meaning behind it.  it just hit a, well, a chord with me that day.  i still
can't listen to it without tearing up, i swear it.  it sounds corny, but
maybe you have to hear it to believe.  i just did a summary of it, the real
version is powerful.  very powerful.
     it wasn't until later that i discovered (from a different soc, one that
took place right after the ok bombing, another powerful soc) that amy never
asked any of those questions.  she was paralyzed by it all, she just walked
away without saying a word.  she just walked away.  she needed that
forgiveness from him, but she couldn't figure out how to ask for it and she
just left.  that is where the angst in this song comes from, i feel.  not
only from what she had become, but from her inability to vocalize it, her
regret that she never said a word of it.  she sings different versions of
what she and the chickenman say to each other, reflecting that.  "it's a
long road to be forgiven." "he said, hold on child, you've gotta learn to
forgive" "he said, you've got a long road child, i said good because i need
to be forgiven."
     i have not been able to look at my world the same way since i heard
that soc.  i try to live with the world instead of against it.  and i don't
let my chickenmans of the world pass me by with the opportunity lost.  i ask
the questions and i question the answers.  i will not be complacent.  and i
thank amy ray for putting a focus to my own anxieties and fears with that
simple soc. and i never let anyone say they hate this song without my trying
to explain the meanings behind it, just as i tried to do here.  it's not
about birdmen and dead animals.  it's about suffering and human frailties.
and the idea and faith that it will be all right.  one person can make a
difference.  change is possible.

i warned you it would be a long post (with a somewhat long but pertinent sig
attached!). this is the only song i get so philosophical about, fear not!
this really doesn't happen too often...hope i havent' depressed everyone,
but maybe i've given everyone something to think about, if only for a second...

peace

letter*
the starfish story: walking the beach at dawn, a wise man saw a woman,
walking in the sand before him, picking up starfish and throwing them into
the sea.  catching up with her, he asked why she was working so hard.  she
replied that the starfish would die if left on the beach until the noonday
sun.  "but," said the wise man, "the beach goes on for miles and there are
hundreds of starfish.  how can your effort possibly make any difference?"
the woman looked thoughtfully at the starfish in her hand for a moment,
threw it to safety in the waves, then turned to him and gently said:

"it makes a difference to this one."

yee haw! me and my gal are going to see the girls (for the 10th time?) in
fort adams, ri later this summer and i've begum compiling information. need
suggestions of any area places to stay (b&bs are our preference) and other
events/fun stuff to do. the vacation is a 2 week jaunt around new england,
so let's be creative.

for the record, whoever's keeping that "where are we from?" tally, add
another floridian to the list.

i have had many conversations with friends and god daughters,
speculating on the meaning of the term "median cat ". i had decided
that it was possibly the scary heavy equipment that frequents
the land of "road construction ahead".

thats right !!! i'm posting twice on this one ! much like a musician
on the road, my job has me on the road alot too, traveling the
backroads that invariably leads one to the place called the woods,
i see a lot of road kill.
" all the carnage of my journey...."
i have allways been too sensitive about it, as child i would see
a dead dog "on the highway..." and imediately see in my minds
eye, someone standing on their porch calling and calling for the
dog that would never come home again.it got so bad that my mother,
seeing a splattered object on the road ahead, would turn to me
and say " oh honey...thats not a dead dog ...thats only a rag."
this worked for a while on me ( the gullible one.) until my brother,
who at the time was about 5 years old said;
"oh yeah...a rag with legs ?"

still when i see a victim of the roadways, i get a sensation as if i
have been hit in the chest. especially bad are the cats that lie next
to their driveways in the early mornings.....and the worst of all
was the morning i rounded a bend to see a little girl running
across the street to where the lifeless body of her irish setter lay.
as i passed the scene she looked up, her face a mask of grief and
her mouth a perfect o. just then our eyes locked and her pain
entered me. that is a moment i will never forget, a movie that plays
in my head to this day.

i'll never get used to it.

claire

sorry for the random thoughts but i was just listening to wendy bucklew's
painting sidewalks (fine album) and looking through the liner notes.  well
actually i was looking the picture of wb on the cover.  if i didn't do a
triple take i would have thought it was joan osborne.  all that hair!!
anyone else confuse these two or think they look alike?

curiously bored....

yeah, i consider myself someone who reads those books that never make the
bestseller list, but i also haven't gotten too much into vw's diary -
finding it a kind of dry, slow read - but i haven't given up (it's still
on my reading list, esp due to e). i love e's song - i love the
way people can have such a powerful impact on each other across
generations through words (and through ig music and even through list
postings).

my favorite vw book is mrs. dalloway (it's a little hard to get into, but
give it 15 -20 pages and then it's very well worth it) - incredible how she
shows life from all these different point of views, no single reality, etc.

also, i've got to mention one book about vw, called - virginia woolf: the
impact of childhood sexual abuse on her life and work, by louise
desalvo.  the introduction starts off, "virginia woolf was a sexually
abused child; she was an incest survivor."  and i think a huge part of
the reason for her eventual suicide was that there were no recovery
resources during her lifetime (1882 - 1941).  she saw freud (the man who
called memories of sexual abuse oedipal fantasies of sexual desire) and
ended up more depressed.  though her own life ended tragically, her life
and writing left a powerful legacy and so cool to have a wonderful ig
tribute song!  and who knows, maybe vw and galileo and frank stanford
(from a's three hits) hear the music and sing along - maybe they even
post to the list occasionally.

          i agree with donna on _mrs. dalloway_. i read it for a
          british lit. class a few years ago...i like mind jumping.
          vw, like ar's chickenman song, writes in stream of
          consciousness...it is a neat trip to jump from one
          character's thoughts to another.

          if i remember correctly the entire book takes place in a
          matter of one or two days.  someone who remembers correct me
          if i am wrong.

          another good vw book is _orlando_ .  it is about a boy who
          grew into a man, and felt uncomfortable in his body. one
          night he fell asleep and woke up a...a.. well, i guess
          you'll just have to read the book.

          later

          llh

it may be a little too soon to start up another tape before the jcs tape
is finished but oh well! i am slowly but surely starting to write a few
songs on my guitar and the other day i started writing a song about our
amy. i thought at first that i was being ridiculous but then i thought
that other list members/musicians must have written songs about ig.
so now i want to get a memorial ig tape together with orginal songs
about amy and emily. i know there are a few out there. so, how many
people want to do this? if noone is interested just write back horrible
demeaning messages and i'll get the hint.
thanks,
ben

hi folks,

someone was looking for the atlanta pride dates... june 28th-30th at piedmont

the url is http://members.aol.com/atlpride/#pride96

take care

hi jason & hi to all!

   i had to - after that rousing call to action- put myself in as another
   ig fan who lives in michigan!!! :>)  jason, by the way, do you have
  a little sister named paige?  if so i coached her lacrosse teams at
  a2 pioneer high school....just wondering?

as for the bio thing, i am 24, and a third year law student at the

   university of detroit- mercy law school.  i expect to graduate in
   just a few weeks - (if i ever stop checking my mail and get to
   work on papers). (got my paper and i was free!   yeah!!!)

i went to the university of michigan for undergrad -
and got a b.a. in english. i love all sorts of sports, esp. lacrosse and

   ice hockey.  go wings!!!   of course i love the ig too-  i've seen them
   6 times and even met them at school kids records in a2 in 1991 when
   they were on tour with nis.  that was when i became a true die-hard fan
!!!
   i like all sorts of music too - keep trying to play guitar, and actually
   can play a few songs that are recognizable!! :>)

    ok -i guess that's about enough from me.  another tally for the mi
contingent!!!!!
   bye everybody!
   - dana

p.s. just got tickets for dar williams show on april 18th at the ark in a2.

should be excellent - i will write to give a review of the evening's
show!

just wanted to say a quick thank you to the tons of people who have been
writing.
    stupid me forgot my roomie was in the gay alliance here at school
    because of some of the incidents there has been a story in the paper and
the group does know what frat has been doing alot of it so some stuff is going
to get do0ne.  hopefully this will all blow over and i'll have worked myself up
for nothing.  hopefully...

subject:      1200 curfews review

hello everyone,

my name is andrew and i've just written a review of "1200 curfews"
for my college newspaper. it will probably go in the next issue
(april 18). if anyone is interested in a copy, email me privately.

i'm new to the list and have been a fan since first hearing ig at a
cool little record store in burlington, vermont in 1989. that fall i
wrote a review of that album for my high school newspaper and have
been a fan ever since.

my fave albums in order are:

1.n-i-s
2.ig
3.so
4.1200 curfews
5.rop
6.sf
7.botby

my fave songs are:
1."hammer and nail"
2."world falls"
3."bury my heart at wounded knee"
4."kid fears"
5."hey jesus"

ttfn,
andrew

hi folks,

ok, gotta vent...  upon hearing that there was a little blurb/photo of a + e
in the latest issue of the advocate, i picked up a copy while i was at the bookstore
this evening.  i didn't look through it before i bought it, but perhaps i should
have.  i had to really look for the "blurb," first of all.  well, basically, the only
words that were said about the indigo girls were just that..."indigo girls."  is
the approx. 1" x 1 1/4" photo supposed to make up for the lack of a story?(g)
btw, the photo is of the side of a + e and the front/side of the two girls who
play the lesbian couple on "friends."  i would have much rather seen a front view
of the honorees, rather than the presenters, personally.  ok, now for my other
beef:  on the preceding page, there is an extremely scathing, rather unkind
review of catie curtis' new album, "truth from lies."  the review was written by
chastity bono.  bono bono characterizes catie's voice in this manner:
"instead of taking her voice to the limit of its range, she resorts to shtick:
she continually yodels, which, aside from being irritating, seems like a halfhearted
attempt at creating an otherwise nonexistent singing style."  she more or less
says that all of the songs sound the same and that catie's songwriting is "too
simple, too immature for a recording artist putting out her third album...perhaps
she would be more successful writing songs for children; then she could sing
about other important things, like tying mr. shoelaces or looking both ways
before crossing the street."  oh, by the way, chastity admits that she's no
folk music expert, but says that she's "listened to enough indigo girls albums
to know that folk music doesn't have to be boring, mediocre, or monotanous."
just cause chastity comes from a musical family doesn't mean she has any musical
judgment.  i think she needs to give the girl a break...what she considers
simplicity or immaturity i perceive as sweetness.  did anyone else read this
review and have the same feeling?  btw, i have catie's cd and i like it.

peace, moo and better record reviews for catie in the future,

joan :)

hi folks,

peace, moo and better record reviews for catie in the future,

joan :)

ok, my turn, my turn, my turn.....

dob: dec 27, 1961

place: mountainview/sunnyvale, california usa (pre-computer boom);
we actually had orchards there when i grew up. now
everything is cement city.

grew up where?: n/a (haven't yet)

spent time as a youth: sunnyvale, asst lost angeles communities
(palos verdes, studio city)

education: yes......ba in history from ucla (colonial american...if
you hadn't been dead 200 years, i wasn't terribly interested). did
history program with colonial williamsburn institute & university of
california

post-college wanderings....los angeles, las vegas, san diego, las
vegas (they say you always go back)

current home: las vegas.

profession: meeting planner (please don't call me a party planner;
it makes me sound like a wedding & bar mitzvah coordinator). mostly
hi-tech clients...trying to diversify, really i am tommy (my boss).

pets: i had a dog for about 12 hours last year; but it didnt work
out as i'm never home and i'm told they need to be fed more than once
a month.

music:  ig (what a stretch), harry chapin, bonnie raitt, mcc, i'm
listening to loggins & messina right now (& enjoyed their stuff more
than loggins alone), some classical (especially "the moldau" by
smetana and beethoven's 9th (i'm a sucker for a big finish).  also
love broadway & movie musicals and the soundtracks, bruce springsteen,
cat stevens.  yes i own more than 10 beatles cd's, but so does half
the free world.  joe jackson, paul simon & garfunkel, patsy cline,
sting/police, and gershwin (george, not ira).  it is with great pride
that i tell you that i own zero (0) mariah carey or michael bolton
cd's.

hobbies:  i'm trying real hard to not make meeting planning the
answer to this question.  reading, golf, judaic study, movies (really
like old ones; i've been a devoted fan of casablanca for almost 25
yrs & i am 34 yrs old).  really like sports (go dodgers, sf giants
suck, go raiders, ucla bruins basketball); like seeing broadway shows
(les mis 4 times) & star trek (bring back ng, please!!!!)

books: in the past few years i've found myself reading too many
paperbacks (any star trek book, mary higgins clark, clancy or
grisham) so i joined history book of the month club. result: ask me
about the death of queen victoria or flavius josephus, i dare you.
currently...the west point class of 1846 (mcclellan & stonewall
jackson, among others) who ended up fighting against ea other in the
civil war.

did i miss anything? do you wish i had?

bye!!!!

dear eric:

> on 4 apr 96, m gordon was stoopid enough to say:

>this is and will be the only time i do this. unlike the other people

>guilty of the scams floating around, i actually used a real e-mail
>address, so you know i'm not one of them.

eric-- i have written to you in the past & was probably increadibly
pissed off at the time i wrote the above message. the sentiment is
still mine about these types of things on the list, but i probably
shouldnt have stated it the way i did to you (who has been real cool).

i just get hit with telemarketing everywhere, phone, mail and now on-
line. this is my one place to get away from it. help!

sorry to offend, but want you to know my feelings...

regards,

melissa
not that stoopid, or so my mother thinks.

i'm glad to see there are some people from michigan out there. i thought
i was the only one! (of course, i go to school in virginia)

jen :)

        hey all,
        i wanted to offer a boot to the list from my band leadmill.  it
is a boot off our sound board, so it is pretty good quality sound.  i
wanted to offer it for a couple of reasons.  1.  our music has a definite
ig style to it (2 guys with acoustic guitars).  2.  i would really like
to know what you all think of our music.  i haven't had a chance to share
our material with anyone outside the people we have played for in our
area and our friends that have gotten copies of our boot and demo tape.
        if you are interested in either the boot, entitled "live at the
crown and rose pub" or if you are interested in our rough studio demos,
simply titled "leadmill", reply not to this e-mail address, but to

reznor@okway.okstate.edu

i'll give you an address to send your tape (either title takes a tdk sa90)
and your sase to.
if you would please put "leadmill boot" as your subject, i can have my
e-mail program automatically forward the address to you.

btw, if any lurkers out there are from daemon records (or any record
company for that matter), i sure would like to send you a copy of both! :)

is there a problem with the list tonight or something? i just received the same
3 message digest edition not once, not twice, but five times...arrrggghhh!!!!

i'm sorry--i meant for that subject header to read "when will there be an"
ig new album. hee hee.  anyway that is actually my question.  i mean are we
talking before the turn of the century here?  last time i recall running to
the music store was in good ole 1994 as an undergrad at suny binghamton to
snatch up swamp ophelia.  1200 curfews doesn't count as a new album imo.  i
know they are taking time off but is there a tentative new album date?  97?
98?  99?  00?  :o

when when when!!!!????

hi folks,

just checking in to say a very quick hullo - i've been away over easter and
consequently have just returned to find the mother of all mailboxes sitting
here tempting me to read while i should be working...ho hum...

so, if you've mailed me about tape tree requests or are waiting for me to
send you stuff then please be patient! - i promise i'll get round to
replying as soon as i can. also, my mail has been a little flakey lately so
if i don't reply to you by beginning of next week then hassle me again just
in case!

anyways, good to be back - i did miss this list!

peace, love and easter eggs,
seffy

i have lived in atlanta for a year now and have yet to see the girls anywhere
(on stage or anywhere else, for that matter)!
please fill me in on this eddie's attic place...
do a & e show up there often?  will amy definitely be there on april 24? is
there any place else in the area that they are know to drop in on?
how does one go about recording a show?  what type of tape recorder does the
best job and how do you manage to sneak it in?   fill me in on these secrets,
and i may be able to come up with some great boots!!!!
thanks!
peace and stuff!

alright, alright.. sheesh! i figured that you were posting enough for both of us, kim! (said with only the most friendly of grumbles..... :-|#) )

hey - whoever is keeping the geographical list - i am currently trapped in michigan, but my soul lives back home in tacoma, washington - can i be counted as washington ...please?? you'll make my whole year, i swear!

all listers hit delete now:

how i pay the mortgage: currently in an awful job, but planning to get back into the dog training, public ed biz soon. (cross your extra digits for me tomorrow...)

pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat/dog. 2 are clumber spaniels (yes, like the one that won westminster) 1 keeshond, and the cat is an exotic shorthair. (won't admit to the "others" as they are the 'spouse's)

hobbies: showing my dogs in conformation, obedience (lol!), and tracking; playing with the computer (just me, the dogs don't really enjoy computers much...); hiking, reading waaay too much, and planning my escape from michigan.

fav tune makers - ig, me, janis, rem, pearl jam, and a host of rocker stuff from my days as a lead guitar player which i won't bore you with.... i promise.

couch potato prefs (tv & movie): x-files (go gillian!) next generation (still in denial that it's gone), anything on discovery, silence of the lambs, monty python videos (thanks kim!) and pretty near anything w/ holly hunter. (yes i am a dull one - this is why i have been lurking!!!!!)

i now return you to your regularly scheduled and interesting list.

--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--
*       sincere woofs -- tracy weeks
*                               and the beast patrol: (that's b-e-a-s-t, kim)
*            true, holly da' bear, molly, & looker (et. al)

*       "i  think myself into jail,

                        -- emily saliers "hammer and a nail"

call me crazy but i never thought of texas as being the home of so many
die hard fans. being from the lone star state myself i though it was in a
perpetual state of indigolessness. that is probably more a function of my
hometown though, tiny little hamlet in the se corner of east texas. those
of you familiar with east texas know what that means.
okay now for the igc. i remember someone saying that the jcs tape is now
out. i ordered it awhile ago so when can i expect it? also, i am curious
what happened to th song of the dy thread, has it completely vanished?
well thats about it.
peace love and a quickly approaching may 2+4 :):):):):)

ok, ok, i have said it before, and i will say it again.  i am so busy that i
haven't read through the digests, so i am plugging through now.  first off,
what the heck is the deal with the bio's and this texas and mass being in the
lead? (per jen hall's post)  second of all jen, i must disagree on mle.  i
will give to you that yls is no never enough or brave and crazy, but i tend
to think not that mle went hollywood but that vh-1 put her there.  for ten or
more years she busted her butt to get to the top, and when she finally gets
recognition, vh-1 has to overplay and overrate her music so she can sell, sell
sell.....and that is the world of record promotion.  i personally didn't see
any depth in yes i am....i love the album, like i do all mle albums, but the
things she talks about on her earlier stuff (me,b&c,ne) all reflect her soul
at the time of writing, and she recently said in an interview that the new
stuff on yls comes from a long time ago in her past, before she knew what
being a "star" was.  i miss the acoustic stuff too, and i can see where a lot
of people think she is selling out ( ie.  a duet with joan osborne???? ugh)
but the passion, truth and honesty that has always been present in her music
is still there if you can go beyond the promotional hype and bullshit to see
it.  the only thing i really am dreading about seeing mle this fall is the
screaming 16 year olds who watch her on vh-1, or mtv, or whatever, who think
they can really "identify" with what she is saying and that she is, "so, like,
cool, ya know...and besides, all my friends like her too..."

ok, rant over. i am psychopathic when it comes to mle. thank god sony and
the tv set haven't done anything to our sweet a & e .......i think i would
have to go bolistic.....and thank god it didn't work with kd lang or tori
amos, my world would be over.......

ok, i'm done now!

may be late with my chickenman story but it happened to be playing
while i read your post. i always think of this song now when i drive by
road-kill and grimace mentally ( a small tragedy among all the larger
ones i've "driven by"). but on a lighter note a friend, having read
that baby possum, can survive in their pouch if their mom isn't too
mangled, stopped one night and inspected the scene of the crime. sure
enough she found two live ?pups and raised them. they would hang from
her hair by their tails. but they got increasingly fierce and were
eventually released in a state park ("no animals allowed"), with a food
supply to get them through there first few days. hope they survived.

keep on keepin' on.( b. dylan)

i've gotten so many posts from so many nice people about my chickenman! post
the other day that i've decided to commit a small act of insanity.  so many
people wrote me and said they didn't understand this song til i described
the soc from brisbane that i'm willing now to sit down with all my ig boots
and transcribe exact copies of the different socs that amy does for people
who are interested. i would post them here, but they're all very long (yes,
even longer than my message!) and i don't want to bore anyone or overload
mailboxes.  so email my mailbox if you want copies (see the instructions at
the bottom of this post) -- it may take me a few days...i know there will be
at least two different versions, probably more, i can't quite remember how
many i have here with me at the moment.  if i get enough requests for
copies, i'll ask here again for a web site or somewhere to put them
permanently as well so that others can find them. i admit they aren't as
powerful written as they are when amy is speaking them, but the words may
help others understand this song and the many layers to it, perhaps
affecting others the same way it did me.  and the same way the chickenman
affected amy ray.

thank you to everyone who wrote to me and commented on my post, shared
similar experiences with me, or just wrote to say thanks. your courage and
support were greatly appreciated.

oh, and several people have asked where the starfish story came from/who
wrote it. my friend found it in a seac (students for environment action
coalition) newsletter and the person putting the newsletter together did not
give the author credit. if anyone knows where it came from/who wrote it,
please email me on that too with the word "starfish" in your subjectline so
that i know that's what you're emailing about and not the chickenman soc.
thanks.

people who are emailing me about the soc, please put "soc request" in your
subject line so that i can quickly see what the demand is like. thanks.

good thoughts on ethridge !
(b&c is my fave. but then never enough is great drivin' music!)
when i read the first post re: me & hollwood i was thinkin'
about how she came up in that town playin the bars and all.
yeah.. "hollywood" has some negative connotations to it
but thats mostly due to the industry. it also just happens to be
some folks' home town. hollywood also has johnette napolitano
and holly vincent going for it !
hasta la bye bye !

i'm a chickenman lover myself, and since i've been lurking lately (i know
that's unlike me but things have been so overwhelming lately...like i got
engaged...and so did my future mother-in-law.....) i am going to use my
surplus of gall and temerity to post my chickenman story! so there!

whew. all those nickel words got me tired! <g>

ckickenman was the first rop song i heard....about four years ago i was
working a couple jobs to save up for college, livin in my first
apartment, and i decided to take a week off work and drive down to
arizona on a whim (i had just seen the movie "grand canyon" and it
sounded like a good idea...).  so i go up to bellingham with two of my
best buddies, ed and joey, to visit a friend of theirs first, and goof
off in vancouver (bc) for a couple days. before we left ed's house he
made good and sure to get a dub of "chickenman" before we left...the
album had just come out and i didn't have it yet (maybe this was 5 years
ago?).  we listened to it all the way up, with ed raving about amy all
the way (did i mention this is a very smart friend? :); we met their
friend ruth and goofed off, and after two days i asked ruth to come with
me to arizona.  she told her job she was going to a funeral and off we
went, having known each other for all of 48 hours.  it was a wild trip,
two eighteen year old girls running off on this crazy road trip, and
"chickenman" was so appropriate for driving 80 thru the desert.  my car
ended up in much the same state as those prarie dogs by the end
(actually, it was a vw _rabbit_...funny huh?), ruth ended up pregnant,
and i ended up with my first copy of rop in death valley, ca, on the way
back home.  (i wore it out, bought it again on tape and then again on
cd).  although the last leg of that trip was made via grayhound with all
of our crap in hefty bags (that's a very long story), we became pretty
good friends, and "chickenman" will always remind me of one crazy trip
that i may never be able to do again.

oh, i just knew you all were waiting for me to delurk for another deeply
inspirational story! (chuckle!)

okay, i'm finally giving in, my state pride has gotten the best of me.  i'm
under pain of death to not post a bio, so this is not a bio.  just a note
saying i'm from texas too, and proud of it in some warped way that i don't
fully understand.....originally from san antonio (glad to see other san
antonians out there!!)  but currently in the backwaters of college station
trying to get that all important paper that labels me a supposidly educated.
any more info and this may turn into a bio, which would result in my
becoming the prey of a certain yankee, which would result in my removal from
the list, which would result in the tie being re-established...and then all
of this would have been for nothing :)

is it may yet????

                                to love you and love myself beside you
                                     mix the gentle and the proud"

is that something like having leftovers for dinner?
it's not stale.
my roomie and i (a  couple of years ago when we first heard rop) spent on
very rainy ct afternoon in november sitting on our beds listening to
chickenman and trying to hard to figure out what was happening.  we ended
the afternoon writing a letter to a+e thinking that perhaps they weren't
soooo famous that maybe they could answer our letter... then we snuck into
the woods to smoke a cigarette... but i played it for my mom and she
figured it pretty much out right away you know except for the real life
story details, but she knew what was happening.  she is so much cooler than
me.  i love chickenman boy, i love singing it loud!  i love it on 1200
curfews too.  man, i love it (sorry i'll stop)
share, amber

michigan. . .

but i go to school in arkansas (the natural state)

are ig performing anywhere for earth day this year?

nice days like today make you want to frolic in the forest!

ttfn,

subject:      airplane

the roaches ruined this song...yuck..

otherwise, i understand exactly where e is coming from.  she hates flying,
i hate heights.  dealing with a fear like heights or airplanes is a weird
fear - meaning that it's actually a weird feeling.  i wasn't afraid of
heights as a kid, but i was about 19 when a friend and i went on one of
those double decker ferris wheels.  well, that's where i found out i had
become afraid of heights.  bad place to find out !!!  later, when my hubby
and i moved to minnesota, there is this town called stillwater.  in
stillwater, there is this bridge for trains that spans over a huge valley.
the middle of this bridge is about 1500 ft. from the ground.  well some
friends took us out there because it's a beautiful view, so i started out
and got about 1/3 across when i just froze.  that's what i mean that it
feels weird.  i couldn't physically move.  i was holding onto my husband
and the guard rail.  my hubby understood my fear and wanted me to stay
where i was so he could get to the middle and quickly check out the view.
well...like hell i was going to let go of him.  i was convinced that if i
had let go, i'd fall.  now, i'm a logical person.  i clearly knew that this
was a bridge that trains went on.  i'm a bit heavy...but there was no way i
was going to make this bridge collapse.  but i began to cry.  he led me
back to the "safe zone" and i was fine.  that was such a weird feeling - -
only others who are afraid of heights can understand.

i wasn't into ig at the time, otherwise i could have sang 'airplane' while
waiting for my hubby to return. what a horrific experience - but
interesting none the less.

- jen hall

hey all,

it appears i'll be in a room at la quinta all by my lonesome (all potential
roommates fell through) so i feel compelled to offer the room as a
party/meeting/jamming area.....maybe an adjoining room could be used to
accommodate a lot of people...any volunteers????......also any campers that feel
the need to abandon the great outdoors even to catch a cat-nap, etc., are more
than welcome to impose.......

eagerly awaiting may,

eric

hi all.  i am bertin lefkovic and i am from cranford, nj.  that is all the
bio i am interested in providing, because there really isn't all that much to
tell.  i was just wondering if anyone in the greater atlanta area, knew if
there was anything cool going on in atlanta between may 9-12.  i am going to
new orleans on may 4 and then going to spend some time at my family's condo
in marco island, fl, but i was also considering going up to atlanta for a few
days.  i have taken that entire week off, and i am looking for something to
fill the time with.  i am definitely going to be in florida from may 5-8/9,
but if something wild was happening in atlanta during the weekend, i would
spend some time there as well.  i also wanted to invite anyone in indigoland
to come and join me in florida if they lived near marco island or just wanted
to spend some time in florida.  marco island is a beautiful little town, but
there isn't a whole hell of a lot to do, and it can get kind of boring if you
are alone, which i will be. :(  this is why i thought i might break up my
trip between florida and atlanta, unless there was anyone who wanted to spend
some time in florida with another ig fan.  e-mail me back or call me at
(908)418-0721 if you have any ideas about things to do in atlanta or if you
want to spend some time (1-7 days) in florida with me.  i look forward to
hearing from you.

i just wanted to post one last time if anyone wanted a room at la quinta
inn-airport in new orleans.  $132 a night or $33 a person (if i can get a
group of four together).  also if anyone staying in the airport area needs a
ride to the concert on may 4, i have chartered a bus to take us from the
hotel to the concert and back.  the cost of a seat on the bus is $20 per
person round trip.

at this point, i do not have enough people to pay for a charter bus. if i do
not get enough people, i will either refund your money or rent a minivan and
shuttle people to and from the concert. if i choose the second option, i
will refund whatever money is left after the cost of the rental is covered.
if anyone who has paid for a seat on the bus wants a refund now, please
contact me asap and i will return your check or send you a personal check if
it was already deposited.

thank you for your support with this project.  i will be organizing something
similar for the newport folk festival.  i will post information once i have
some details confirmed.  talk to y'all soon.

let it grow

the most (the only, really) horrendous ig song ever.  what was e thinking? i
mean, the lyrics, and the song themselves are ok...its still an e song, so you
cant totally hate it(for the most of us, including me, airplane would still be a
huge improvement on our work)  but the backup singers!they sound like they've
just been shot in the leg, and then made to sing!!  (maybe amy was torturing
them!)  :)  the first five times i listened to rop, i had to skip it.  the first
time i heard this song, i was in shock for the rest of the day.  it has since
messed up the rest of the cd for me, because, even if i skip a, its memory makes
me shudder, unable to enjoy, n, libm, or ct.  the worst thing is, you still get
stuck on this song.  uughhh!!!!

hi y'all --

since my tiny, wacky (yikes, pat buchanan won here!) state is pathetically
under-represented in the current poll, i'm coming out of lurkdom to post a
bio.

age: up until four days ago, i was 35 (hi, fellow april 6th birthday
buddies!) ... i have not yet uttered the number 36 out loud yet, though it's
nice to know i'm not the oldest specimen on the list.

locale: greenland, nh (on the coast next to portsmouth)

work: freelance writer & concert publicist

family: i'm married with a 3.5 year old son and will soon be adopting a baby
girl from china

fave music:  i have loved ig since 1989, when a concert promoter had me
listen to a promo tape to see how i thought they'd do opening for neil young
(gee, like he could have picked a better combination!).  i listened pretty
exclusively to ig for a number of years, but now i have branched out.  in the
last year, i've been to concerts by ellis paul, dar williams, marty sexton,
patty larkin, catie curtis, diane ziegler, and many other boston folkies.
check them out when they come to your neck of the woods!

closest encounter with ig:  i was working on a 1990 show where the girls were
opening for joan baez, and i was supposed to be fielding phones in the
office.  when the girls came out to do their soundcheck, i snuck out into the
park and pretended to be part of the crew who was wiping off chairs (it had
just stopped raining).  i wandered closer and closer to the stage and kept
wiping chairs til they were done.  i was in the second row by then ...
security was nil, i could have easily walked up to the stage and said hi, but
i was so awestruck that i could not come up with any words that i felt would
be good enough to say to amy and emily.  of course, i have since pounded
myself on the head about this repeatedly and come up with many eloquent,
heartfelt lines, but i lost my chance and doubt i will ever have it again,
unless i get lucky enough to do pr for one of their shows.

why i love the ig list: despite its relentlessly migrating topics and
religious interpretation flame-fests, it's the best place to be for a daily
ig fix.

back to lurking in the frozen northeast ...

heidi

i have to delurk for this one! all that negativity i read over this song
is a little harsh...it's a lighthearted whistling-in-the-dark kind of
song just poking fun at emily's fears...am i the only one who thought
the backup singers were perfect for the whimsical nature of the song?
it was silly, it was supposed to be silly, and i thought it was a perfect
contrast to the seriousness they usually impart...
just my thoughts :-)

diff'rent strokes i guess......airplane was the first song i attached to
on rop....other than galileo, of course ;).....i *love* the roches'
contribution......what a blast they must've had in the studio.

i am amazed and delighted to hear that someone raised baby possums from
roadkill sucessfully - my lover and i tried really hard with one whom we
found but we lost her on the third day (it was a holiday weekend and we
couldn;t get ahold of any wildlife rescue-type people) and i always think of
the sweet baby when i hear chickenman...it was a very sad thing.

peace and hopes of more saved baby possums,

i'm not sure about everyone else but the reason i dont like the background
singers is that they sound horribly out of tune to my untrained ears. like
fingernails on a blackboard, screeching. and it bugs me even more cause i
really like the song because it is whimsical and i can relate to it in a
major way (i am terrified of airplanes. i am going to fly to see ig next
month and at this point they are the only reason i would get on a plane.
maybe i'd do it for billy bragg.)

hm, while i am posting could the person who is keeping track put me down
for washington state? i dont want to post a bio cause i did that in
january. but wa state is so close to the top. :) thanks!

if you happen to like airplane complete with backing vocals, i think that
is cool. :)

hey all... looks like herbert lit a fire under some complacent "song of the
day" butts :- ).... where y'all been? ( and thanks herbert )... the posts
today have all been few + far between ( or is it just my server? ). no-ones
been talking about airplane!!!!.... what're you all doing... saving up your
tapping energies for amy day? .... well then, okay... yer forgiven.
me... i tend to agree with sharon about airplane just being fun. fun is
good.... lots of us enjoy the awe inspiring drama of a wild electric
storm... but i'm pretty sure we can appreciate the cheerful sparkle of a
spring rain too....
peace + possums... kim

i know i started late in the fan sense, but airplane was the first songe
that i heard that made me think the ig were really cool.. i love the
roches, and their backing vocals were just their style and perfect for the
song.  especially when they do that weird scale.  this is just my
opinion.  i hate to fly, and now i have something to cling to and sing
when i do.  maybe i'm suffering a little from emily adoration bias, but i
still like the song.  making a deal with god because gravity inspired it
is pretty close to a flawless description of how people deal with their
fears.  ahh, they rock my world. i'm from minnesota, but i go to school
in california (la sucks).  so long!

love wendell

wow, i'm always surprised when i hear people diss "airplane." it's
definitely my second favourite song on rop (behind "cedar tree" of
course). "airplane" is lighthearted frothy topping in comparison to
say. . ."prince of darkness," but it ranks as a fun song that is more
memorable than a few other rop songs i could mention (i only say
that, because rop isn't ranked particularly high in my list of
faves).

which brings me to this question, do you think "cedar tree" was
appropriately placed on the album (at the end) and if so, why would
they put such a wonderful song there? there may be no answer to this
ponderable question, but enquiring minds want to know. . .

subject:      airplane!

hi all,

i hadn't listened to airplane in a while. given all the posts
disliking the backing vocals i just had to listen to it. it's playing
right now.

the roaches are singing backing vocals... the roaches are some
of the greatest vocal harmonizers around, imho. the harmonic intervals
that the roaches are singing *are* a little strained, but i think that's the point.
they are singing harmonic intervals that tends to make the listener feel uneasy..
a song about being uneasy about flying... i think this is a pretty cool use of
unusal harmonic intervals, well unusual for western tonal harmony anyhow.

oh, for the non musicians out there an interval is a measurement of
the distance in pitch between two (or more) notes. a harmonic
interval is when the notes are played at the same time.

to be honest when i first heard this song i didn't like it much. it
*is* kinda out of sinc with the rest of the cd. but one day while
riding the bus i started reading the lyrics and i just started
laughing out loud on the bus. really great lyrics i love the line "i
start maiking a deal, inspired by gravity". and then the whole last
part "i'd rather have a real pillow underneath my head lying in my
bed which is in my hometwon which is on the ground far from an
airplane." what a fabulous line!

and emily finally convinced me; i am not afraid of flying, i am not
afraid of heights..... i am afraid of gravity!!!

personally i really like this song now, and sometimes i have actaully
skipped over other songs so i could hear airplane before i got to
work.

peace y'all

i believe that the last song is the ideal place to put cedar tree.  first
off... that is where the most wonderful songs go, at the first and last
places of the album... because if you took any sort of talking 101 class you
know that people remember especially the first thing and the last thing you
say -- and that is true for a symphony and true for an album, in my opinion.
     secondly, i believe that cedar tree offers an incredible sense of
closure for the entire album. there is so much movement, and some of it
(joking, ghost) expresses regret, or unexpressed love... so many loose ends.
but cedar tree expresses a very mature love -- which suggests this is what
was learned through going through the process of writing all the other songs
-- does anyone see what i mean? cedar tree gives a sense of completion and
maturity to rites of passage-- i guess cedar tree can be looked upon as
looking back at completing the "rites of passage" that the other songs in teh
album took us through.

i have been surprised at the responses for airplane. i love this song -
screechy, grating backup singers and all. it is a perfect harmony for the
sounds and fears of an airplane ride and i can feel emily's fear rising as
she attempts to cope with and understand her paranoia of flying. first time i
heard this song i laughed and love to listen to it -- sing it, well, that's a
different story can't do that. i can just envision em or anyone else that
fears flying griping the seat of a plane and thinking really safe thoughts
and all they can really hear and feel are buzzing ears, whoosing of the
takeoff and a slightly queasy stomach. great stuff. (me, i love flying, but
have friends that hate it.)

marian

:) count me in as another who just loves airplane!!!
rites of passage was the first ig cd i owned and it took me a long time to
realize how excellent it was (like, 2 years- it hit me all of the sudden that i
was listening to the greatest band ever) but airplane was one of the few that i
would listen to once in a while.
i love the roches vocals!! to me they made me think of the one time in my life
i've been on an airplane....the sound it made as it was taking off????

hey !
i was listening to the roches before the indigo girls were out
of elementary school (or something like that ). they are
really quite good ! i think what may seem unapealing about
their back up to some of you is the way they are using their
incredibly great voices to simulate the queasy feeling that
a person who has a fear of flying may get when acsending
to the heavens in a large metal object that has no business
leaving the tarmac in the first place.
which is one of the reasons i think that song is really cool.

selling out or progressing? she's always said she likes to rock, and the
songs yls and irly, while not to all of our tastes do rock. and atwth,
sp, and change are growing on me.. as are auk and iwtco.

she didn't decide to do a duet with joan just because she's got a top
single now. she was friendly with joan when she was relatively unknown,
asked specifically for her to open shows for her. joan calls her "aunt
melissa". me invited relatively up-and coming women to join her on duets,
to help them, basically. this was before sophie hawkins second album, and
well before one of us was released.

i think airplane is a great song!  i used to listen to it every time i got
on a plane as we were taking off the ground!  i agree with whoever said
that the i'd rather be lying in my bed which is in my hometwon which is on
the ground is the coolest line!  a good sunny day song.  perhaps it will be
sunny tomorrow, and then i will listen to it.  but i have been jonesin' for
travel and maybe it will just make me sad...

hi all,

i just figured i'd delurk for a moment and give connecticut some
help in the member department.

age: 18

location: trumbull, ct

work: student at trinity colege in hartford, ct(i actually live
here the majority of the time now...go figure)

how i got hooked on ig: two summers ago i went to a music camp
where a frined of mine, who loved ig, would sit out on our balcony(the camp
was at welseyan university) with me talking, smoking, and listening to
music. since she was the one with the cd player, we listened mostly to ig
and by the end of the summer, i was singing along.

other music: melissa etheridge, ani difranco, mary black(kind of a
new one for me), a bit of k.d. lang, dar williams, billy joel, sting, sarah
mclachlan, natalie merchant, broadway musicals, and almost any jazz.

yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it!!!
we're studying that in my song class now, how musical elements of songs
can convey lotsa meaning/emotion, sometimes better than words.  we're
listening to copland's settings of 12 poems of emily dickinson.  #2, there
came a wind like a bugle, is about a tornado or a flood.  the words are
awesome, like "doom's electric moccasin" but it's the musical setting that
makes it fabulous.  there's no sense of being in a key, and you're always
kept off-balance by the melody.  incredible.
peace,
karey

i'm so greedy. stayed up til 3 a.m. mongering the media tonight.

not satisfied watching only the band de soleil video - "the gathering" -
which is real cool. (and where was i when *that* video came out, huh?
<smacking self in de head>.

ok, so here's my delirious 3 a.m. take on jcs.  hmmm.  well, first, some
advice:  if you have to decide between the video or the cd, undoubtedly, go
buy the cd.  and crank it up.  this cd is just so incredibly *right*.  i mean
from the opening liner notes from michael lorant, you can tell the motive is
the music.  it's transcendant.  it's fun, dammit.  and it's ok.  i don't get
anything blasphemous at all.

and, the main surprise of the cd for me...pardon me if i do say so: i was
blown away by amy's voice! i mean, amy *is* jesus. i mean i'm a fan, right.
i *believed*...but there are some damn good vocals by her on jcs that would
*never* occur in the context of an ig recording (well probably not <wink>).
ok, i'm probably wrong on the never part, so sue me, i'm thinking of the
classic "indigo girls" record.

the video.  for me, being a word person, the lasting impression the video
makes is that it let me really hear the lyrics for the first time.  some
random highlights:  all the costume changes, watching amy's face (how can she
not laugh when emily walks over in that outfit? in that eye makeup?).
watching emily bop around with gerard onstage after the show.  man, i like
gerard.  i dug his eye makeup.  he was cool.   (he's a *teacher*?  i kept
thinking some kids somewhere think of him as "mr. mchugh."  does he really
teach?)  that benjamin guy too -- but, uh, how much of that was *acting*?
the guy doing the chuck berry duckwalk in a nun's habit.  classic, no doubt.

ok, since most of the rest of the highlights (that i can recall at this hour)
are amy highlights...i feel obliged to mock her now...*just mildly*.  here
goes:  does this girl have no rhythm or what?   seeing amy dancing reminds me
not to next time i go out <lol>...just kidding  ; >  actually it's more about
the clapping <hahaha>.

overall....i'll tell ya what...watching this video gave me the same kind of
euphoric feeling i get everytime i see the uptown lounge video. now wait, is
that because i usually drink lots of beer when i watch the latul video, i
can't remember...hmm?

touch me touch me jesus....(wait a minute, which video am i talking about?
<shakes head>)

yep, 21 is a fun year:) more fun than i thought. how's the indigo girls
thing going? i wish i could get back into the mailing list but i just don't
have roomin my account which is a bummer. did you guys all meet up for the
concert and everything? how was it? if you can do me a favor and send a

i'm teaching myself how to play and i don't know a whole lot of chords so
i'm kind of looking for something relatively simple. if you could get me
some sheet music, that would be wonderful. well, i'm outta here.

well... being a fairly new ig fan ( for almost 2 years... give or take ) i
probably know only a fraction about the girls + their songs as most of you
do... but hey ; i know what i like and it's ig all the way. ( ig fans are a
pretty great bunch to be counted amongst too... ) anyway... about
nashville... every time i hear this song i am reminded of times in my life
when i became disillusioned by something i had believed in, be it family,
friends, a thing.... it sounds to me ( and go ahead + correct me if i'm
wrong... i've had little access to things ig except their music + this list
) that amy is talking about not fitting into the nashville scene, because
her style etc (" they talk of falling fast they say i'm running blind to a
love of my
own"... ) i watched a documentary a few years back about the women in
country music... amy just would not have had an easy time fitting into that
mold... though it's getting better ( for eg.... mary chapin carpenter ).
that would be a terribly dissapointing experience for a young musician with
hopes and dreams of a career in that venue. of course, the song also shows a
determined spirit to suceed via a differnt route, despite the
dissapointment.... which has happened, huh?.... as a woman with hopes +
dreams of having a book published one day, i find this song more encouraging
than anything..
or, like... is my take on this entirely wrong + off track? :- )
well... that's all from me...
peace all... kim.

hi,
just a quickie note to state that this song is soooo neat!  i just love
the accapella (sp?) part!!!!  it's such beautiful, intense harmony.
makes me shake when i hear it.  even in my car...
anyway, back to work!
peace, gia

if anyone else is interested in the leadmill bootleg, please notice that i
moved my ig list membership over to another address (so i don't wade through
so much mail at my work address). please send all requests for this tape to

reznor@okstate.edu

instead of the previous post.  if you have questions about the leadmill
boot, or leadmill in general, please contact me.  i would like for as many
people as possible to get a copy, cause i value your opinions.  reponse for
the tape has been good so far, but a little less than i expected, but oh well :)

jeremy

hey everyone!

i've not had any mail from the list since the weekend, i can't believe thta
no-one's had anything to talk about! where are you guys??

andrew

hey everyone!

it's been kind of quiet out there for the last day or so, are you still there??
hope my system hasn't decided to kick me off the list, or discard the mail
(you know how funny computers can be - woopps, that's torn it!)

andrew

well, this is the first time i've posted to this thread, but here it goes.

this was my first 'favorite' song when i got this disc, but i didn't fully
become aware of the meaning of it until i actually ended up in nashville.

my now-ex-girlfriend and i were moving from new jersey to seattle and we
decided to take the southern route so we could visit friends along the
way.  on our way to visit my friend at vanderbilt u., we had just entered
the nashville city limits and guess what song comes on!  no joke, there
was no rewinding or fast forwarding involved!  it was just at that point.
we saw the sign "welcome to nashville" (or whatever sign of the like) and
then rim-shot--harmonica.  we thought we were in the twilight zone.  it
was kind of surreal driving through nashville singing this song.

strangely enough, i had read or heard somewhere that amy wrote this song
at the time she was a student at vandy. when i first heard ig, i thought
i wouldn't like them because i thought they were country, then i started
to really listen to them and thought, hmm, even that little country twang
is kinda nice.

as my friend puts it, "my favorite song on the tape you made for me is
that one about the poet who shot himself in the heart three times
(obviously 3 hits). i love that chintzy country fiddle part."

i was kind of offended at first. i never thought of that as chintzy. but
then we listened to it and it is kind of chintzy, but so totally cool!

have a great day all.

carolyn

yes it is true that alanis was on "you can't do that on television" but
she wasn't moose. she was only on for a little while - maybe a year or so.
i myself love alanis but think the show is dumb as hell.

well, i don't think airplane was helped by the roches' singing (which
made the song sound too juvenile and plastic). but...airplane is one of
my favorite ig songs ever...it's a simple song about fear of flying, as
it's fun to listen to as a contrast to some of the more serious tunes
they put out (ptntf, libm, galileo, et al.). also easy to play on
guitar, for what that's worth.

i was kinda shocked when a friend of mine left this and nashville off her
copy of rop...now i can understand why (though i don't agree).

hear the singin' call,
mike

i need to know if there are any concerts in may or later

okay, one more thing about airplane: i put it on my road trip mix (right
between csn's war games and ccr's long as i can see the light). good
counterpoint to two very heavily electric songs.

love shel silverstein, but i don't think he wrote this tale of the boy
becoming a man becoming a giraffe. i'd love to hear him put some of his
poems from his books into songs, though...i imagine he has done that
anyway for a few of them.

tee-hee. funny you should mention that.

i have a tape of "where the sidewalk ends", that says: "recited, sung,
and shouted by shel silverstein".  it's *great*.  he has so much fun with
this . . .  i picked it upp about 6 years ago in a children's bookstore
in my hometown.  i don't know if you can still get ahold of it or
anything . . . but his version of "sarah cynthia sylvia stout" is
wonderful. :)

nashville is my favorite amy song, and a damn fine tune it is, too.

it reminds me of times when i thought i was starting things over
("illusions of a brand new start") and then finding out that the problems
i thought i had left behind are still around. case in point: i moved up
to seattle a couple of years ago to be with the woman i then loved, but
the problems she and i were having in california (not to mention the
problems the parents and i were having there) didn't go away...in fact,
they became worse. add to that the weather there (it rained the entire
time we wrre there) and her family (not my types at all), and you have
the makings of a hasty retreat.

nashvile brings that back to me, and makes me realize that happiness
ain't in the place...it's in the person (ourselves). thank you and bless
you, amy.

hey, it looks like i started a new discussion!  (he, he)
i didn't mean to piss anybody off....i didn't mean to put e down, either!
i mean, i did say that airplane is still 100 times better than anything i could
write!!!
i just don't see the humor in the song.  rop was one of the last ig albums (did
i just say albu???i was born in 79 for gods sake!!) that i bought.  i had gotten
used to their serious style...
airplane just shocked me!
and sarah, i'm sorry!!! please dont be mad!!!  i swear, i love this song!!!  :)
:)
and by the way.....
i'm not herbert!!!!

ahhh.... nashville.  i love this song.  if i remember correctly amy
wrote this song when she was at vanderbilt univ (and hating it!)  well,
being at a small, narrow-minded college, myself, i found a wee
bit-o-solace in this song.
"you see with half a mind what colors hide the face..."
helped me through hating my school, this stinking, backwards state (nc),
and my roommate and all of her sorority girlies.
(amy t.-> i know you're thinking along the same lines...)
elon college, anyone ever heard of it?  anyone up for a bitch session?
ahh.. what school spirit i display....  grr....  but, i'm for the most
part over it.  so what if i'm part of the 3% that's here to learn...
nashville (at least the nashville of 1984 or so) has some major
similarities with the elon of today.

hi ya'll
it's the 12th april over here so i wanted to wish all thoseborn on
this day a very happy day and hope that you spend it doing what you
want with whomever you wish to be with.
as to amy, i struggle to find the song written by her that touches me
most as i feel she reaches deep with in me in many songs. i hope the
indigo girls remain together for as long as they are happy to do so
as individually they are superb songwriters and together they form a
partnership based on mutual respect that touches and teaches us all.

take care, jenni

could some kind person please send me a copy of amy's soc "i will not be
complacent?" if anyone else wants a copy, just e-mail me privately and
i'll forward. thanks.

        just for everyone who may have missed what this is, it's a boot of
my band leadmill (2 guys w/ acoustic guitars...  very ig).  i'm offering it
to everyone in hopes that you all can give me an honest opinion of what you

from oklahoma.  if interested, send a tape and sase to:

jeremy fuksa

stillwater, ok 74075

        all i ask is that you please e-mail me before you send it so i can

20 replies...  not to mention the copies of the boot i'm doing for people
around here.
        send in a tape.  i think that you will be very pleased by what you hear.

on this day was born amy ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let's see.... you were a kid, you saw a bunch of mean guys burning kittens...you
knew this girl named emily, only she was in the next grade up & thought it was
sorta uncool to talk to someone younger, so it wasn't till later that you began
to play together, but when you did, you were amazing. songwriting, singing,
playing, touring, then- fame!!! (not the movie with irene cara -thank god- but a
result of your amazing talent!!) you and emily record music that touches people
deep in their souls. so you tour and you tour and on one tour, you stop at this
garage sale, only it's not a garage sale & you write a song about it and it adds
to your mystery, which isn't your song, but emily's, but... okay, where was i?
ummmmmmmmmmmm.
well, you know. this isn't exactly complete but hey it's late and stuff.
sooooo happy birthday amy ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and moo.

i am a huge huge fan of dar and i would also really appreciate it if you
would mail a request to vh-1. if you don't already know dar she is a new
england folk singer whos music and lyrics range from light and comical to
heart felt pain. she is also a superb guitarist.
i would recommend her to anyone, especially all you ig people. she has
two albums out-mortal city and the honesty room. they both have their
strong points and couldn't recommend one over the other. so if you
don't know her and your about to buy a cd go buy dar. after one listening
you'll be mailing vh-1 every day.
ben
ps- also remember how much vh-1 did for ig!

i completely identify with amy's nashville experience.

after graduating from college, at the age of 22, i accepted a fellowship at
the university of southern california to begin working my ph.d.  i packed up
my car and drove across the width of the united states, from my home town of
dayton, ohio to la; "i came to you with a half-open heart, dreams upon my
back, illusions of a brand-new start."  i arrived in la, picked up my
housing assignment from usc, started unpacking the car, and soon realized
that i had made a huge mistake.  i did not know why i wanted a ph.d., i did
not know why i had chosen usc and i especially did not know why i was in la.
i broke down crying, and began repacking the car. i spent that night in a
hotel in pasadena, lying awake in my bed, trying to decide what to do . . .
the next day i drove back to ohio; "as i drive from our pearly gates, i
realize that i just can't stay."

sorry this is dragging on, i'll finish quickly.  the next nine months of my
life i spent trying to figure out what went wrong; "is it my fault i can't
reap what i sow?"  i psycholigcally beat myself up, wrestled with my
experience during my four years of undergrad, the choices i had made, the
major wrong turn i had taken in my life.  it was one of the most painful and
difficult periods of my life.

now looking back, after three years, i see the importance of my "mistaken"
choice to go out to usc.  this may sound cliche, but i realize how much it
taught me, and how much i have grown from the experience.  the "me" before
the drive to la and the "me" after are two different people.  my college
friends see the difference, my parents do, and so do i.

i think that everyone needs some type of "nashville" in their life.
thanks for reading.

hi from a new hampshirite lurker! happy birthday amy - thanks for keeping
me alive and sane. you are one person who i feel like is listening and
seems to understand. you've done more than you'll ever know for a lot of
people, so basically - thank you.

sarah wardrop

hello out there in indigoville!
      well, i don't know if i'll be wasting space here or not, for i know not
what shall flow from my didvine hand into this post... (egotistical?  me?)
      out of curiosity, how many sarahs are out there?  seems like they're
coming out of the woodwork!  what else?  ummm... if i owe you something (like
a mix... cylinda, kim, i'm working!) i'm really working on it, i swear!  if
anyone out there wants to dub "color me grey" for a pal o' mine, i think
she'd like it a lot! =)  i don't have it yet, so i can't help her out, but
e-mail me if you're interested in the cause... also, is there anyone else out
there who wants to have his or her band or a band local to his or her area
put on my little compilation?  i would really appreciate anything else... you
all seem so interested in having your states represented in the bio thread...
i wish you had the same enthusiasm about having them represented musically on
this tape! =)  see the post called spreading the gospel. (although i think i
forget the "r" when i posted...)  oh yeah!  it's amy day!  i hope i'm not
breaking any rules by posting things that have nothing to do with her,
although if i tried, i think i could prolly connect them to her!  she is
wunnerful.  even her _speaking_ voice is cool... sorry, but i am uninspired
tonight... i guess i'll call it a night, but i'll send out a general wish of
peace and love and all of that good stuff, and, most importantly, a thank you
for all of the kindness this list has shown me, and for all of the friends
i've met because of it, and for all of the understanding i find here that i
don't find in my everyday life... i'm babbling, but "thanks, y'all!" =)  you
are all fabulous! =)  oh yeah, shel silverstein has 2 cd's out, i think, and
i just wanted to share that i had a girl in my store tonight who has been
looking for the so book forever and was so thrilled to find that we had it...
i was so thrilled to have a customer who didn't want the new busta rymes (or
however one would go about misspelling that...) or 2pac... _anyhow_, i'm
really going.  really sorry about the lenghth, but happy birthday, amy! =)
peace, love, and big black bags, sarah

i just have one thing to say about airplane...even emily is allowed to have
fun once in a while. i bet she had a blast with this song!

happy amy day.

jan

happy birthday to you...
happy birthday to you...
happy birthday dear amy!!!!
happy birthday to you!!

april 12th is one of my favorite days of the year!  its the day that one of
the greatest people on the earth was born.  amy, if you are out there (hey!
you never know!)  i hope you have a wonderful birthday.  you've been there
for me more times than you could ever imagine....a gift which i could never
repay, so today, i light a candle and sing the above song in honor of amy
ray's birthday!!!!

:-)

peace-jan.

greetings all!

well since today is dedicated to amy, i just have a few things to share
about her.  i guess the most exciting event was meeting amy after a
show last april in burlington, vt.  my friend and i hung out all day
before the show and saw a&e go in and out of the venue all day, waving
hi while we waited the 6 hours before the doors opened.  at 5:00 some
random guy came out the back door with a peice of paper in his hand
and was like does anyone know where the supermarket is?  my friend and i
had an idea cause we walked around town all day so we ended up going with
this guy and doing the food shopping for the girls dinner.  we hit a
local maket, a health food store and a tobacco shop, where i purchased
amy's pack of american spirit cigarettes.  it was quite a rush to do
this little shopping thing with hopes of meeting the girls as he had
promised, which never panned out.  luckily, we saw where the girls
were staying and went to the hotel where we hung out with emily for a
bit and then amy came out about a half hour later.  i was so numb.  i
couldn't remember how to speak.  her presence was just so overwhelming,
she was very quiet, and nice.  she stopped to chat for a bit and sign
an autograph.  i was too numb to ask her to stand for a photo with us
like emily did, which has to do with the fugitive thing.  well, i had
amy sign the cd single for power of two cause i love the way she looks
in the photo, especially her hair.  well wouldn't you know it, i was
at such a loss for words that all i could say was, "that's a great
picture.  i really like the way your hair looks there.  i wish mine
could look like that."  she smiled, turned over the cd to look at the
photo, looked up at me, grinned and said in her deep voice, "shave your
head and let it grow.  that's what i did."  she was really cool and
down to earth.  i felt overwhelmed by her presence at first, but after
a minute it just felt like i was talking with someone i just met, amy
ray the person, not amy ray the indigo girl, the star.  it was awesome.

we ended up deciding to take the 5 hour trek to providence ri for the
next nights show and got on the guest list and had free 8th row tickets
because we had helped with the supermarket thing the night before and
jerry, the drumer, put us on the guest list for the sold out show.  it
was great!  we managed to get to the front row when everyone rushed the
stage during touch me fall, and i got to stand right in front of amy and
got her guitar pick which she threw into the audience.  after the show
we ended up helping the road crew break down the stage and load the
equiptment onto to the trucks.  i got to carry some of amy and emily's
guitar cases and we got to hang out backstage for a few hours.  i ended
up talking to michelle malone for a while and then amy came out to leave
and she walked right by me and smiiled and said hi.  i walked up the
stairs behind her and asked her if she got a bag which we had given
emily the night before which had handmade boxer shorts, one pair for
amy and one for emily.  she stopped and turned around and said "yeah i
got them.  that was real sweet of y'all.  thanks."  a few days later,
i decided to trek down to new haven, ct to see them on their final stop
in new england and hung out in the parking lot near the tour bus.  i
brought my guitar and hung out with some people and we played and sang
ig songs for a while.  amy walked out from the back stage door and looked
over.  she went into the bus and i saw her open the back window and open
the blinds and look out at us singing land of caanan.  it was really
cool.  that was probably the most interesting and exciting weeks of my
life so far.  lets hope there will be more adventures like that soon.

on another note, i recieved my copy of jcs from rdr today.  it was
incredible.  if you have the bootleg, this blows it away.  amy is so
incredible as jesus.  i was watching so intently, her performance was
so intense, i was so moved by the video.  i highly recommend it to
all.  there was a bunch of interview stuff at the end and a note that
said look for another video in the summer of 96 which i guess will be
a behind the scenes look at how jcs came together and was made.  can't
waid to see that one!

i hope everyone enjoys the day and celebrates by listening to ig all
day, i know i will whenever i can. sorry for the long post, once i
get started, i just can't slow down, i wanna go faster, and faster,
and faster, (hey, haven't i heard that before?)

happy birthday amy! thanks for the music, the inspiration and the spirit!

peace!

hey y'all--i am not one to do a post like this but i am so pleased with
something i received in the mail from a fellow list member that i feel
inclined to thank him publically.  joe hamilton recently posted a message
about some ig road signs that were in.  i inquired privately and took a
risk and mailed him a 30 dollar check for one of these signs.  well let me
tell you--this thing is cooool (nikki)!  anyone who lives in a dorm (i know
there are like 400 college people on this list) or needs something to put
on their wall would love this sign.  i thought it would be a dinky plastic
thingy that said indigo girls rd on it.  but noooo--it is a huge metal sign
that looks like a genuine street sign.  i love it!  i suggest this to
anyone who likes ig paraphernalia  ie--everyone on the list.
        ok so you think you don't have 30 bucks for a piece of metal.
think about what other ig stuff you've spent 30 smackers on.  ig concert
t-shirt...gets old and worn after 200 washes.  ig concert tickets...they're
not on tour so that extra cash you have can be put to good use.  2
cd's....ok those new cd's will be in the discount rack in a year.  these
signs will be gone gone gone very soon.  plus it will last forever--and
what a conversation piece!  also perfect for holding up at concerts with
your lighters!
        finally...i have no idea who joe hamilton is.  we are not plotting
here to make profit.  i've been around this list for quite a while and
wouldn't post this if i didn't think it was worthwhile.  i'm sure
production of these signs was expensive so the profit is nil or negligible
(sp?).  joe mailed me the sign the day he got my check and it took just two
days to get here.  he is no fraud.  ok i'll shut up now.  if you are
interested in the signs joe's email is: <jhamilto@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu>.
again i don't know him so i gain nothing by saying all this.  just trying
to give others the opportunity to obtain something they will like a lot.
ok  commercial's over...

greg

ps--this list tends to have a lot of flamers (not including me--heehee)
when it comes to people selling stuff through the list. if you do feel the
need to flame this post send email to: get_a_life@gohome.com :)

later y'all

i can no longer resist!! i'm from texas--born and raised in san antonio--
but now live in california. yes, a defector...

aaahhh, the land where it's always an amy day!! she has illuminated the
darker side of life with her spirit and given me words to express the
communal experience.
long live amy!!!!!!!!!!!

:) rachel :)

i agree with you re: nashville (the city)...great town for family kinda
things i guess (i have family there and drove across the country with my
grandparents when i was 3 to see them), but not a place i would try to
make "a brand new start."  maybe amy was experiencing something most of
us feel as we get out of college; an impatience with academia and a
boredom (maybe even disgust) with the place we've been living for the
previous four years.  i know i did.  and yet here i am in the same town
again, even in the same apartment complex, for one more year (different
school this time, tho).  maybe i'm just unusually stubborn...

with plenty love to all,
mike

hi all -

can anyone give me the background to the jcs thing. i guess it
was for charity and not for fun :@)

jules

  it ought to be a national holiday-i know i'm going to celebrate!
happy b-day to one of my two favorite people...hope it's the best!
if i get started saying great things i'll never stop!
                            peace,

<happy birthday amy! - thanks for keeping me alive and sane... >

so i'm thinkin' maybe i can add my $.02 worth to this particular thread -
you know - participate.  say hb amy, tell how i got my jcs video yesterday,
and even though i had to teach a class until 10pm, am in the final stretch
of tax season, and just a walking baggy eyed exhausted mess; i watched that
whole two hour video from 11pm to 1am last night.  and i really enjoyed
every minute of it.  amy's voice just hits every music nerve i've got.  love
it.  and she just has such a self effacing charm and impishness about her
that you just can't see enough of.  and emily; {bg}, whoever wrote about the
makeup job was right - whoa! - the closest resemblance would be the geisha
girl in the galileo video only with red hair.  thanks to both amy and emily
for brightening my world for the last several years, making a boring job
bearable due to the inspired music they make.
and now i must go - my plans to work at home and listen to igs full blast
have just been shot to hell by my incredibly on the ball secretary (pc
whatever - she runs my work life) who phoned and told me to get my butt in
there, appt. coming at 9am.  so the jcs video is not a broadway production
but its one of their productions and worth every cent.
may 2nd and 4th coming, is keeping me going. i'm making my shirt next weekend.
waiting on jazzfest and moo!ing at ya'll,

karen

...and many more of them. incidentally, does anyone know what ig's are up to
at the moment? new albums, tours?? perhaps we should compose a birthday song
for amy...any takers?!

peace

happy bithday, amy :)

jude

first happy b'day amy and thanks to you both !!

second - does anyone know why the chickenman on 1200c is without the soc ?

jules

amy's horoscope according to the washington post newspaper and sydney omarr.
for a detailed analysis, call 1-900-656-8488. cost is $1 per minute;
average call lasts four minutes.

if april 12 is your birthday, you are dynamic, inquisitive, charming, have
marvelous sense of humor.  when stuffed shirts attempt to become too serious
you bring forth sense of the ridiculous.  gemini, sagittarius persons play
significant roles.  you are knowledgeable concerning current events, fashion
trends.  you also are inventive, creative, controversial, possess pioneering
spirit.  new love on horizon during may.  december memorable.

jude :)

all -

having great fun sampling bits of 1200c for events in win95. so
far moo for the default beep, the deadmanhill riff for warning,. joking
on start up and world falls on shut down.

great fun through the speakers at work ;-)

jules

wow! i thought i had an e-mail from the birthday girl herself.  was i
surprised (not!:) to find out it was a friend indulging in a tinsy birthday
type prank!  i mean she must have been fantasizing about what amy would think
about arriving at the age of 32....what would it mean?  a lot or nothing?
what would she say in a *real* e-mail to answer the question... can you

<fill in the blanks>
...........................................
...........................................
............................................

dear foj (friend of jude:)

so i'm 32 today. well they used to say "never trust anybody over 30."  that
seems a little arbitrary to me.  your thirtieth birthday is just a day after
you are 29 and 364 days old and yesterday i was 31 and 365 days old.  had a
leap year in there.  hope i'm the same, hope i'm better.  age doesn't mean a
whole lot to me.  people's lives and the way they choose to live it is what
means a lot.  i can talk to an old person, i can talk to a young person and
get the same satisfaction.  emotions never age. only faces and hands and
other body parts. never the insides, only where the sun shines...not where it
is dark and true.

live long and prosper \\ //

good grief, what i will do to keep from doing work :)

i have also been told about this but i can't remember the time it is on.  it

same concert?  anyone out there fill me in on this?

pat

well...amy ray, our patron saint, is one person that has made a serious
impact on my life...and i believe that she will continue to for a long
time....the first time i ever saw amy i was in complete awe...rop end of
92...amy takes the stage in that blue band jacket and belts out r&j....it
was so incredible...that was the beginning of my ig obsession:) i have had
the good fortune of meeting both a&e (thanks to michelle malone)...and i
don't think that i have ever been as star struck as i was when i met
amy...to make a long story short, michelle took my friend and i back stage
to meet the girls after the 4/26 show in philly...we went into the small
dressing room and amy came right over and took my hand...i, who never has
trouble speaking:), studdered out.." you're...you're my hero"...she half
laughed at me and signed my tickets stub as we chatted about bots and this
being my 4th show and what not...she was very cool...and very real...i just
couldn't get over the fact that i was talking to amy ray...it was cool
though...but, i will never forget standing at the edge of the stage and
watching amy do chickenman, like 5 feet from her, and then watching her
play the melodica for dmh...and having her shake my hand from stage after
the show ended...it was amazing...amy is one of the most incredible
performers of our time and we are fortunate ones for having found her and
that she is so willing to share her gifts with us...so, happy birthday
amy:)
with dreams of immortality,
maggie

someone else said that for everything amy had done for them, we could at
least give her a special day on here...they were right. amy's done a lot
for many of us just with her music but also with her record label and by
being herself.

i just wanted to share my one "meet the girls" story here in brief since it
has to do with that.  i went to my first ig concert and they ended up doing
a favor for a friend of mine, perhaps at my request, perhaps not, i'll never
know and i don't care to.  the fact that they sang this song for him was
enough.  i went to the newport folk fest a few months later with the idea of
meeting them after the show and thanking them...everyone else i was with
thought it was weird, i wasn't going to get an autograph, no pix with them,
i just wanted to look them in the eye and thank them.  i got my wish and it
was a very odd experience.  i was on amy's side first, i'd always liked her
songs best put thought emily was the one who always had that cheerful
personality, the smiles for the camera, didn't complain as much about fame,
etc...but i stood on amy's side first figuring i would get the hardest part
over with and then move on to emily, whose song it had been and i figured
she'd had the most weight in the decision to dedicate it anyway.  i finally
got amy's attention, while she was signing someone elses autograph and i
said something simple like, "amy, i just wanted to thank you for dedicating
that song  a few months ago at x concert."  her reaction blew me away.  she
actually stopped writing, looked up at me straight in the eyes, gave me this
surprised smile and said, "you're welcome, i'll definitely remember that."
i can't really describe the look she gave me, but even if she had no idea
who i was, i felt like she did, she cared and she was glad she could have
helped.  i was in shock.

i then moved on to emily, to thank her for dedicating her song and changing
my life and all that stuff you say...i got to her side and said basically
the same thing and she didn't even look up, she didn't stop writing, her
only acknowledgement was "yeah, whatever," she didn't even bother to act
like she remembered or anything...i was disappointed, but as always i give
everyone the benefit of the doubt, maybe she was having a bad day or
whatever, she's human.
but it was amy who really stole my heart that day and i've been an amy fan
ever since. so thanks again amy for at least caring enough to act like you
remembered me and for giving me faith in the humanness of everyone,
including major recording artists! happy birthday! keep being happy!

*********************************************************
happy birthday, amy ray!!! april 12th!

aaaaaaaammmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy

let me just say i wish you the happiest of birthdays and that you are so
incredibly amazing it takes my breath away
i will restrain myself from saying more

.  i think i still have them around if anyone wants a copy
(in a few days or so.)
  fyi-  the official un-official ig pages have died a slow death.
they will be moved in the near future (and hopefully updated)

happy weekend all- kidfears/trinket

well, my humble thoughts on amy day...  i've just realised something -  i'd
always thought i leant more towards emily's songs, but more and more i'm
learning that amy's songs are reaching me in a totally different way.  maybe
some of the discussion on this list has ignited a few sparks, perhaps its
finally getting round to replacing some of my worn out tapes for sparkling
quality cd's, perhaps they appeal to a darker and deeper side of my soul
that i'd never explored before.  i don't love emily's songs any the less -
it's hard to explain really - i think the thing i'm trying to express is
that amy's songs seem to endure longer in terms of freshness and interest...
i mean i love galileo- it always makes me smile and sing along and play air
guitar - but i've heard it so many times and know it so well that maybe it's
lost a little something for me... in contrast hand me downs, which i'd never
really paid much attention to before, has suddenly become one of my
favourite ig songs, the same with welcome me.  touch me fall, which i have
to admit i skipped through when i first bought so - now makes me pump up the
volume, pogo my way around the living room and howl like a veritable lone
coyote...   her live performances and video footage i've seen convince me
that amy ray just is the coolest with a capital cool.  i am so inspired by
the passion and darkness and spirit of this incredible songwriter.  respect...
happy birthday amy!  hope it's intense...

have a great weekend everyone!

thats a great story jude !
living in the puget sound area myself i am pretty disgusted
with the staions and d.j.s around here. in fact i don't listen to
them any more except for the jazz/npr station and kaos
(great name huh !) our local college station.
it sometimes shocks me when i realize that i know more about music
than the d.j.s....i once called kmtt (the aaa station that plays ig
-if its not too long, and is the official "hit"-) and requested "welcome me"
for a "theme park" on the word "welcome'....and the d.j. had never
heard of it , and didn't know what cd it was on...sheesh.
then when 1,200 curfews came out they played "thin line" to get
"deeper into the album" and actually stopped it and restarted it in
order to cut out the talking at the begining.....
that was the last time i listened to that station.
hasta ! happy a day !
claire
my latest order to daemon is in the mail !!!!...looking forward to jcs !
when i first heard the cd i pictured it onstage...when they came to
seattle i wasn't dissapointed !!! i think it should be performed again
on pbs " great performances" - anyone have any connections ?

subject:      houston's horoscope for amy

happy birthday amy ray!! i hope that you're going to go out and do
something on your own - for yourself - today. you certainly deserve it !!
kick back, relax and drink a brew on us.

your songs make me think deeply and passionately about me, my life, and all
that's around me.  both you and emily have inspired me to read lyrics and
feel your words - rather than to blindly listen to music.  you are an
absolute creator.  it brings great joy to me to think that you're doing
exactly what you want in life and you are willing to share that joy with
us.

thanks and happy birthday amy.

here's your horoscope according to houston, texas.

>>>  friday april 12, 1996
>>>
>>>  making strenuous efforts on the home front today will be effective and
productive. you move a little at random now, >>>  without major aims or
objectives, but in the evening you tend to get into some excitement and
find rewards. love is all >>>  you could desire now.
>>>
>>>  your fortunate astrological number for today is 798.
>>>
>>>  your financial outlook for today is poor.
>>>
>>>  your compatible sign for today is sagittarius.

happy birthday,
- jennifer hall

i just checked the disney and family channel listings for both saturday =
and sunday (i noticed the msg said saturday the 14th. however, the 14th =
is sunday.) and ig is not listed as being on either channel for either =
date. unless they happen to have a cameo on big brother jake or are =
contests on family challenge=20

hey all... i know that the absolute lack of even one post from the list in
my mail cannot be due to lack of interest... too many amy fans out there.
i've been looking forward to this day all week and it finally arrives
and???......
and *no* posts.... not from the ig list since last night ( but plenty of
personal ones ). is there a problem out there in cyber space?... are all the
amy posts bouncing about like lost souls?.... will they ever get it
right???? somebody... talk to me..... i'm all a-tremble with kim-fears....
peace + happy b-day, amy ray

you know, reading all these posts makes me wonder if amy might be at home
right now having nightmares imagining all of the people out there who are
talking about her and celebrating her bday. *shrug* that must seem so
weird to her. sorry but had to throw that in.

--a far out trip through a hard rock tunnel--

okay, ive been lurking today. feeling uncertain about how to make a
statement of my own about amy.

she is so passionate..,.and seems tormented in many songs she writes.
perhaps she is not really tormented herself but can really identify with a
person is that much turmoil. i myself am not really tormented by much and
yet the songs touch something in me.

the last time i saw the ig's was in madison, wi for the first of their honor
the earth tour. they were amazing. so had just come out and amy performed
"touch me fall"..i was completely blown away...i was outside myself in the
room...in the music. i have never had that experience before at a concert. i
wonder if it was an out of body experience.

i am truly appreciative of both amy and emily. i feel that they are teachers
in their music and the way they live their lives. thank you universe or
whoever (if anyone) is in charge.

          i know what you mean.  being a quiet back in shadows person
          myself, i would never really get used to the fact that
          hundreds of people, who i don't know,  know that it is my
          birthday and are celebrating it.  amy tries really hard not
          to become a big time celeb.  i think she is doing a fabulous
          job.

          i love all of the amy stories you all have to share...i'm
          green (and it's not easy).  each story reminds me of how
          incredible she and emily are at treating everyone as
          individuals and not a mob of fans.

cheers to both amy and emily for being my chickenman.

hmmmm, so it would probably be tooo weird for someone, not me of
course, to say buy a birthday cake, cook a fancy meal, get a bottle
of champagne, buy a gift, hire a clown with birthday ballons, maybe
put up some party decorations and a pin the tail on the donkey game
and throw amy a suprise birthday party?? would that make this person,
and again i must emphasize this is *not* me... let's call him.. no,
no, no,...make that her... let's call her ...danielle.. would doing
this make "danielle" weird.... not that "danielle" is considering
doing this, after all i do, er i mean she does have a life.....

well, i gotta go. off to the sponge and mop store to buy some new
sponges, god i love friday nights at the sponge store..

subject:      for amy

what i'd like to do is collect all the letters wishing amy a happy birthday
and give them to her on may 4th. i've collected those posted so far, so
if you want to send her a b-day wish via the list, write to the list ( not
to me ) and i'll print it.

i know amy knows about this list, and i've heard that she's not
particularly fond of us talking about their private lives ( which we do our
best to stray from ), but i'd think she'd be tickled to see all of us
dedicating a day to her on her birthday.

if for some reason, you've already posted and don't want me to give it to
her, e-mail me privately and i'll be sure to delete it from the rest.
otherwise, post away and amy'll be sure to get it.

- jen hall

actually....i was thinking of a previous post where someone said
that ms. ray got a bunch of birthday cakes in the mail and was
"freaked out" a bit.... i just get this mental picture of ar & mgmt.
standing in carters office staring at ....oh about 15 or 20 cakes
with a wierd look on their faces...(kinda like the audience in
"the producers" after the opening number of "springtime for
-you know who-")....i don't know why...but it makes me giggle :)

love and batter !
have fun at the sponge store "dan" ;)

..........a little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now...................

in honor of amy's birthday (and because i've been stuck with some extra tickets),
i am selling two tickets to the may 4th show in new orleans to the first person
(or persons) who e-mails me this evening!  the price is $36 each, which includes
ticketmonster fees.  the seats are on the lower level (sorry, not the floor!).
way back when, i thought a couple of other folks would be going along, so i decided
to go ahead and purchase an even four tickets.  those people backed out, and now
i'm left with three extra tickets.  i'm selling two of them now and hanging onto the
last one until closer to the show, just in case someone i know decides they can skip a day
of work.(g)  so for now, i will be selling two tickets to the first person or
persons who e-mail me.  stay tuned later on, in case i need to sell my other ticket.
so, if you recently decided to go to the show, but are worried that the only
tickets left are in the nosebleed section, or if you wanna
bring someone else along, but don't have a ticket for them, never fear!!!

peace, moo and concert tickets!!

hello to all ( i hope you get this, amy)
just wanted to say happy birthday, which is a weird thing to tell someone you
don't know...
but then again, songs tell a lot about a person, and i can make up the rest...
hope you have a great day- relax, party, have a blast!!

amyday. since i have yet to pull the rocks all the way back over my lurker cave (i am still plotting my revenge, kim), i thought i'd sneak out just for a sec' and make just one teensie amyday post.

whenever i am overwhelmed by things in life, whether my doing or not, i listen to b&f and know that i have not been alone on my "ledges, only 2 flights up". somehow having shared such a place with such an amazing soul makes everything a little safer.

happy birthday a.r. and thanks.

i like it when amy laughes on stage.

wendell

     humbly, she approaches the list.  bowing head in despair, she said,"my
friend robin isn't getting into new orleans until 6pm on may 2nd."  "alas,
what shall i do?"  continuing, she said, "michelle shocked is playing on the
ray ban stage at 2:50 and indigo girls are playing on it at 5:30ish. i
simply can't miss either one of those wonderful shows.  i will just have to
bravely go it alone." then the beautiful strawberry light shines above to
beckon her, "no, karen.  don't despair.  wear your "moo!" creation and there
will be others among you with whom you can share the wonder."  and, lo, on
this day amy was born.  hence i shall not be thwarted by mere airplane
schedules but will triumph over the devil of shyness and be among friends at
the ig concert. (bg)
     i could also just say that robin is a new convert to ig and is excited
about the may 4th show but not so enthralled that she was able to swing an
earlier flight out of la.  so, there i'll be.  alone, in a moo! shirt.  a
somewhat daunting thought i suppose.  so i would appreciate info on where
and when of the meeting at jazzfest in case i have some sort of manic panic
attack.
(hah. and you thought accountants were dull)
     how's this?  good.  robin isn't on the internet, just bought 1200c two
weeks ago, (but, and i quote, "not just likes, but loves them") and i feared
for her first exposure to all us mad ig fans so i was going to play it by
ear.  but now.....somebody, teresa, jen, lorin, bert, victoria,  etc.  keep
me clued in on the plan for the day.  and, as always, thank you for your
support.  (madness always hits a day or two before deadlines)
waiting on jazzfest and moo!ing at y'all,

karen

according to the hidden water web page (www.hidwater.com/lifeblood/blue.html)
the ig's did a cover of joan armatrading's "weakness in me". i love this song!
does anyone have a copy of this album or the song that would make me a copy??
i would be interested in getting copies of any of their earlier albums too, or
if anyone knows how to find these albums at stores or elsewhere???

hey ya'll,

i was just thinking it would be really cool if people could talk about
their favorite indigo girls concert.every time i have seen them they have
moved me in different way.my most memorable concert would have to be at
franklin and marshal college in lancaster,pa.i think it was in the spring
of 1993.it was part of their $10 tour.the people in front of me made up
the set-list and i begged them to pick strange fire.so i was able to hear
my favorite song. then amy stepped up to the mike and belted out romeo.
but there was a twist,she changed some of the lyrics.she changed,"when we
made love you used to cry" to "when we made love i used to cry" that was
enough to make my knees buckle.

please e-mail me and let me know your most memorable experience.

best regards,
deb

does anyone have an arrangement of this piece? not necessarily the

if anyone could help me out, i'd be really grateful.

there has been a report that an ig show would air on the
family channel april 14th. i have just seen the schedule
for the entire day and there is no ig special on it.

sorry, but it looks like a rumor to me!

i even checked the disney channel schedule and
the ig show that aired before will not air on that day
on that channel either.

i like it on the watershed video when amy multiplies
200 times 15 and gets 30,000. :)

(in the background emily says "or 300,000?")

i am back and exhausted.  seattle was great and the ig's kept me company in
my car while trying to find my way to and fro.  i had a dream about the girls
last night.  i was just as goofy in my dream as i would be in person.  in
this dream there was an unidentified woman who was telepathic and she would
look into my eyes and then i could read her mind, while she was reading a &
e's mind.  pretty weird huh?  any arm chair pyschoanalysts want to take a
stab at that.  the woman was very beautiful and we were very close.  *anyway*
it is so good to be back.  anything exciting happen while i was away?

xo's and ice cream for everyone............pooh

hey.
i was listening to tuesday's children and purple parrot the other day and
since i really love winne-the-pooh i was wondering if anyone had the
chords to "house at pooh corner"? pleeeeeeease?....

hey all...
does this really mean that i can virtually write a message to amy?
so, i write, then someone (i forget who) takes all of these happy b-day
amy posts and gives them to her at the nojazzthing? cool.

well, here's mine....

i'm one of those people that searches for inspiration in everything...
and ultimately, i hope to inspire one day.  and if amy ray has somewhere
along these same thoughts...  i just wanted to let her know that she's
succeed:  i'm very inspired by her honesty, passion, and sense of humor.
since i'm a musical theatre major (and i will be making my tony award
speech in the near future) i'll be sure to thank the girls who helped me
to sing with passion.  i'll be brief.  that's it.  thanks.  -mandy warren

:) i made my "moo" t-shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i found the raddest cow stencils too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm just gonna burst before new orleans!!!!!!!!!!
i think that the thread about your most amazing moments at an ig show is going
to be excellent. i, unfortunately, have nothing to contribute to it...yet. but
it's just the thing i needed to cheer me up and make me realize that life is
still going on and i've got a concert to attend in two weeks and five days.

i was on my way to work, feeling kind of down, listening to the radio...the song
i'm listening to is over & so i start to surf...."ain't nothing gonna break my

rowboat to china....but i turn the station. "because you loved me" is on. i
adore celine dion's voice. i bought the album the first day it came out...but i
change the station again. "dreams"- my favorite fleetwood mac song...click. then
i hear it. on the college station. amy!!!!!!! the "1200 curfews" version of
"joking" -one of my favorite songs!!!!!!!!!
i never ever hear the girls on the radio, but on this day, this song comes on!!!
it was enough to bring a welcome smile to my face. :)

hi, y'all! i just got my jcs video!! yay! and all the vcrs are in
use...boo! but i suppose i've waited this long...

i also got a separate flyer with the video with notes on new releases from
daemon and i was wondering if anyone could give me info on reversing hour
and belloluna.  what's the band composition like (electric, jazz, accoustic
guitars, trombones, ukelalees, males, female, coed, banjo-plucking monkeys
who write shakespeare in their spare time)?  what type of music (rock, hip
hop, folk, pop, techo, etc)?  they sound interesting but the descriptions
given are a little vague...please respond to my email address, not the list,
and please use the subject line "daemon" -- thanks!

on the second topic, i am happily gathering many chickenman streams of
consciousness. if you are not on my email list for these gems and have
delayed, thinking i would be swamped or you read the post too late or that
the offer is over, fear not, i'm still accepting requests. i have three
nickname files full of people and there's no reason i can't add more! just
send an email to my box with the words "soc request" as the subject line.

also, if anyone has any socs typed up and lying around that they'd like to
add to the pile, please email me the soc with "chickenman soc <venue (ex --
chapel hill, nc)> <date (ex -- 2/10/95)>" (was that confusing?  here's a
mock subject line: "chickenman soc, chapel hill, nc, 2/10/95"  better?
*grin*) and the text of the soc is the message, obviously.  it can also be
attached to the message if that's easier on your system.  either way is
fine!  here are the socs that i have right now:

athens, oh, 4/12/95
new haven, ct 4/95
shepard's bush, 11/94
austin, tx, 3/24/95
brisbane, 2/22/95
erie, pa, 5/15/95
tower, 4/26/95
charleston, sc, 2/7/95

i am also looking for a web site on which to place these permanently. i
sent a note to lifeblood, does anyone know how long it usually takes to get
a response back from them? and does anyone have any ideas of other
receptive places to put these if that one doesn't pan out? email me at my
box with the subject line "soc web site" please.

thanks for any help anyone can offer...sorry such a long post!

in the gloaming, oh my darling, when the lights are soft and low
and the quiet shadows, falling, softly come and softly go
when the trees are sobbing faintly with a gentle unknown woe
will you think of me and love me, as you did once long ago?

on page 22 of the may 2 issue of rolling stone, i saw a
photo of amy and emily in the grapevine column and the
following text:

due out june 25 is sweet relief ii: songs of vic chestnutt.
participants include r.e.m., soul asylum, cracker, indigo
girls, and joe henry, who's teaming up his sister-in-law,
madonna.

i think this is the record amy referred to in her e-mail sent
through monsterbit a few weeks ago. the color photo was
one that was used on the 50/50 magazine cover a while back.
it has a purple background with amy wearing that 'give me
liberty" t-shirt she wears in the "swamp ophelia" video
and emily wearing a black jacket, white button down shirt
and black t-shirt.

happy birthday amy!
i have no idea what to say! i found an emotional outlet because of you.
you enabled me to find a soul which i had lost years before. i remember
in eighth grade when i heard your voice and decided to follow your
footsteps. the genre has changed but the art is still present and your voice is
still heard.
thanks,
ben

what's up with amy's bd? i have been gone for a week. if i write her via
this mode will it get to her?

subject:      mn tour dates?!?

after two weeks off, i am questioning my logic in staying on this
list for my spring breaks. but anyway, i have a desperate plea that i
don't have time to sort through 850 messages for:

has anyone heard any more about the supposed hte minneapolis concert
dates this september? someone posted that they announced 2 shows @
northrop auditorium, but i havn't seen anything else about it. or, if
you know where i can look for info, i will love you to death!!!
eric.

hi all--

i just joined the list today, so if i am asking a question that has recently
been answered on the list, let me apologize in advance.

does anyone know if there are any nyc-area dates set up for the indigo girls
anytime soon? i was lucky enough to be at the joan baez concert last year
where the ig guested (one of the sessions for jb's ring them bells) but that
was the last time i heard them live, and i am getting *anxious* to see them
live again! (i won't go into the story of how a kind bouncer got my cd of
strange fire signed, and then it got stolen when my apartment was burglarized
last summer!)

any help would be much appreciated. i'm really looking forward to being a
part of this list.

jncalif@aol.com (despite my screen name, i live in northern new jersey, near
nyc. but i grew up in calif., hence the name--and the fact that my first 25
choices were already in use ;-)
