Melissa Etheridge , partner to wed: MEGA BARF ALERT
all better.
Any pics of Nancy Pelosi or Melissa Etheridge found there?
OK, OK...not that there's anything wrong with that!
And get your ass back in the kitchen, woman!
Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips were married for even a shorter period of time. And don't forget Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman's very brief marriage!
Melissa Etheridge has been possessed by the spirit of Hillary! RUUUUUNNNNN!!
Actually, I like Etheridge's early stuff, her first couple of albums are pretty good. But she went downhill as she got "popular" and then got into the whole activist thing. And talk about "rode hard and put up wet", jeez...

You make an interesting point that I don't hear too often. A popular radio station in Toledo (FM 104.7 WIOT) started playing Etheridge's early material in late 1987. "Similar Features" was the first song I heard; followed by "Bring Me Some Water" and "Like the Way I Do". All three are (gasp) not bad songs -- really. It's all downhill after this first album though.
And considering I don't generally listen to mainstream music, but have extensive knowledge on it, I'm really surprised I still have this album (somewhere -- I think on vinyl).
And then Melissa told 20/20 after they parted company: "You wake up one morning and you're on complete opposite sides of the bed and it's all about the children … and your partner is just someone who is there to pick up the kids when you can't." Children just could not salvage their relationship, I guess.
yeeah.

Formed by Cher's son and clad in daft costumes, DEADSY's master plan is a suitably deranged one: to mix sick death metal with Duran Duran...
In ‘Mansion World’, a stand-out track on ‘Commencement’, the forthcoming album from LA's Deadsy, singer/guitarist P Exeter Blue tells of the perils of unimaginable wealth. Blue knows what he's talking about: he lives in a palatial Malibu mansion belonging to his mother, Cher.
With Mom off headlining the enormodomes of the world, Blue -- real name Elijah Blue Allman (his father is erstwhile Allman Brothers frontman Gregg Allman) -- is sprawled out in the stately living room, alongside Deadsy keyboardist Dr Nner (alias Renn Hawkey). The two -- who have known each other since they were 15, having attended a private boarding school together -- admit having grandiose aspirations. "We're aiming as high as we possibly can, and our new album is just the starting point," Elijah modestly begins. "We're trying to create this American superlative that infiltrates the entire sound and vision of pop culture. I set out to this when I was 19. I told myself that I've got to go out and do something with my life. I've been an incredibly blessed human being, and I think that I'm doing what I should be doing."
Deadsy's startling fusion of techno-pop and metal has been the toast of the LA rock underground for three years. Coal Chamber and Orgy (whose singer, Jay Gordon, was Elijah's one-time bassist) have both lavished praise on Deadsy, with Elijah performing on their respective ‘Chamber Music’ and ‘Candyass’ albums.
As could be expected of someone who was given his first guitar by Kiss' Gene Simmons (his Mom's boyfriend at the time), Elijah's band consists of four costumed characters: The Earnest Professor (Elijah), the Dandy Of Leisure (drummer Alec Puro), the Great Beast (bassist Craig Riker) and the Good Doctor (Renn). Their self-titled debut album appeared with little fanfare in 1997, but Deadsy have since let it go out of print. ‘Commencement’, which Elijah insists is their first proper album is released in the U.S. this month.
Despite employing what Elijah describes as “the world's heaviest, sickest death metal chords”, Deadsy's sound also blatantly harks back to the early '80s new romanticism of Japan and Duran Duran. The prospective first single ‘She Likes Big Words’, in particular, sounds more like a previously undiscovered Duran track than a mere tribute. Ex-Duran bassist John Taylor appears on the [track], while Elijah claims that Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes loves the song.
"What better era is there to take from?!" exclaims Elijah. "I love that stuff."

Yes, but they tend to sweep it under the rug.
