I know this was mentioned in another thread, but I think it might be missed buried in there... the prognosis is said to be very good because her cancer was caught early.

This is horrible news. I wish her the best.

@rox-k: She’s an American musician with a worldwide following (one of mine and coyboy and Judith’s favourites, in fact (-: ). Her music is on the rocky side of pop, she’s written some incredible songs and has sold a tonne of records. If you’re curious, check out her website http://www.melissaetheridge.com/discography/index.shtml... you can listen to sound clips from her earlier albums (I highly recommend “Yes I Am” and “Your Little Secret”).

ill have to check out some of her stuff, but iv just checked Everyhit.com for uk charts with her name and turns out she has never had a chart postion in the uk, so no wondered i didnt reconise her ! ! . But ill have to find out what her music is like now. Glad they got the cancer early.

I hope she’ll recover soon! I hate that disease (it’s the only thing I really, really hate!).

BTW, she’s done some concerts in London, even this year so she should be kinda famous there as well :-)

I got the lucky live dvd last Thursday.. wooohoooooo!! Ooooh man does it rock!!! This woman drives me (musically ;)) crazy..

I watched it without the comments first and I was with my mouth wide open the hour and a half it lasts. And Philipp (coy, ain’t he sexy? ;))!! his guitar kills me, Mark and Kenny are also great...

then I watched it with the comments, OH MY! I had a great laugh.. the Piscies and the Geminis :D:D *muahahahah* and how they bug her with her looks, if her looks kill on the dvd, imagine live @_@

watching the dvd brought me back to Hamburg 15/07. I think I’ve never been so excited to see an artist I like live.. ok maybe except Eva. I will never forget (I hope!) the moment she appeared on stage with her guitar and shouted hello Hamburg and then started to sing, that was an impressive moment, one of my first thoughts was “oh she IS small!” :D and I couldn’t help crying of joy. Now that I think of it, this makes me recall my first concert with Eva, 29 July 99, when she appeared in front of me (guess who was front row ;)), I was “woooow! she IS tall” ;) and then when she saw my little Spanish flag and she waved, looked and smiled at me - OH MY!

Ok.. so anyone who wants to have a good time and watch real rock .. give Lucky Live a chance :D The DVD comes with a bonus CD that includes the same songs (except some comments)

I love the good girls and boys, wooooohooo that rocks!! :D
