A message for Melissa Etheridge, you big old red-headed

[SaveAmerica]

American, you.

THANK YOU!!! Your message was just what the doctor ordered after George "makin my own laws" Bush decided to commute Libby's sentence. I was starting to think it was time to let the fight go, we were getting nowhere. I love it when people remind me that this fight is worth every heart-breaking time-consuming moment it takes to win it. THANK YOU!! :applause: :applause:

(PS I think you should give your drummer a bonus, he gave 125% as you were preachifying).



What do you guys think Melissa's DU screen name is? You know she posts here.

1. Moved me to tears. Several times!

Your drummer comment matches what I said to my wife right after the performance. He looked like a big guy, but that had to be grueling for anyone.

3. I was concerned he'd have a heart attack at one point, but he kept

kicking it right back to that powerful punch.

2. Clearly, I missed something

What was it?

And if Ms. Ethridge does read DU: :headbang:

5. Here's a link to her performance (part of it) at yesterday's Live Earth

8. Wow

She is such a remarkably gifted singer, musician and lyricist. To that, I add preacher; her http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerimiad">jerimiad is exactly what we need more of.

4. Melissa puts more feeling and emotion into a single line

than most artists put into an entire album!

NBC cut her performance (damn them!) and I'm on dial-up, so I have to wait until lunch at work tomorrow to watch her performance. I will have the headphones cranked up! I can't wait!

6. What part did they cut? (or should I ask What did they show?) I bet

one of my kids they would not be kind to her when they aired it on NBC.

7. "what did they show" is the correct answer.

They showed her introducing Al Gore. Nothing else. I was PISSED!

9. I'm not surprised, it's up to us to be the media; again. The link's up

there, let's send her message out in e-mails and any and all forums we visit. I wonder what MSN thought they were taking part in? They're working with Al Gore to get a message out there, but don't want to air the message on the TV? Freaks.

[johnaries]

10. I think it's quite appropriate that the internet is becoming the

main medium for this event. The number of hits for Live Earth videos will just continue to rack up higher and higher over the coming weeks. We will show the M$M just how irrelevant they have become.

11. My favorite line in her preaching was...

"Remember when we almost lost Democracy?"

It was when she was speaking about future generations talking about this period of time in connection with Al Gore. As if he was the one that saved Democracy. Here's the deal though, she was supposed to be talking about how he saved the planet and yet he, from the future's perspective, "saved Democracy." I don't see how an Environmental leader would have the capacity to do that but the next president would perhaps? hmmmm?

I know from how she was talking about him he'd have her vote. That with his NBC interview when he would not rule out running no matter how pressed he was gave me hope. Though of course my glasses are so rosy that they are making me sneeze but I don't care. :D

12. Bless you!! Bless all of us rosy-spectacled believers in hope!
