Yeah, if I was a girl and 40 years younger, I'd BE her.


She really is a refreshing change from all the other bump-and-grindy skinny-blonde air-head bimbos. She is very REAL.

And I like the way she thinks about God, Life, Love, deejays, music and dancing. Thanks for taking time to say you agree. Most people are just too busy dancing .

Which one are you listening to?
I bought Mizunderstood for the kid for Christmas and it's crap.

"Missundaztood" is great! So is "Can't Take Me Home as is "Try This"! actually my dad thought "Missundaztood" was crap at first but now he loves it... it'll grow on you.

I'm sorry. I'm still a fan of Rachel Sweet.

Rachel Sweet? Rachel Stevens?
>

who?

jwf

i luv her coz she's Glam... i almost died of happiness when i saw the vid for "God is a DJ" because it's a homage to Glam culture from start to finish... *big smiles*

It's a great video.
It's 'real' and human with none of the flash edits or wire-dancing or that impossibly artificial life-style seen in most recent videos. She presents her philosphy of life in a way that most people down on the real streets see it. God IS a deejay.
Life IS a dance-floor. There WILL be dancing in the streets.

Videos are as close as I get to music these days.
Last live act I saw was Bob Dylan.
He's an old geezer too.

you should so go out to gigs! P!nk will be great!

ps- do you know who Rachel Sweet is? Im very confused.

Hmm. Now, how could anyone confuse "The Rumour" with "The Blockheads"?

"confused to the max"

ps- i can't access those links because im on hootoo via digibox not the net.

Now I'm confused. I have no idea what digibox is.

a digibox is just what you have when you have Telewest cable tv... im on h2g2 via a link i was sent by e-mail. There are lots of people on here via digibox.

it's a text based thing lisnot. accessed via a box attached to the TV.

Hmm. Still unclear on the concept. But I will take your word for it.

Maybe I'll cough up a guide entry on Rachel Sweet.

She was a singer from her toddlerhood who later caught the attention of the usual gang of idiots at Stiff records in the late seventies.

While the song choices were often a little strange, she had a strong voice and the chops to carry almost anything off.

After her last hit, a duet with Rex Smith, she went off to college and is now a respected behind the scenes person on many network TV shows, most of them comedies, in the U.S.

I have it on good authority that her live performances were more memorable than her records.

As a late teen, I found her very useful in her skills and presentation.

Yeah, Tefkat, but at least they were working!

Stiff was guilty of many sins, but they gave a lot of pub bands work and exposure that might otherwise have been lacking.
Witness Sparrow's (later most of Huey Lewis's News!) work on Elvis Costello's first incomparable album!
