A fan of Melissa Etheridge's and a friend of mine has a interesting project going on for her graduate art class. Please if you would read the information below and participate. (Perhaps this will save me from buying the next round ;)! Oh wait that's if I stay in my seat. NEVAH!!! LOL!!
"Hello Fellow Melissa Fans,
I have been a long time fan of Melissa Etheridge, yet I have only been attending concerts and connecting with other fans in the last few years. The strength, the depth, and the breadth of this world-wide community has been astounding to me. Prior to making this connection personally, this incredible community was totally invisible to me. In this community, I see a connection through music that transcends space, time, culture, gender,
politics, and religion.
I am writing today to invite you to help me do a little project for one of my graduate school courses in Arts and Consciousness. I am enrolled in a Community Arts class where the objective is to work with people in a community to artistically document or raise awareness about a social issue. My personal interest in social issues, as an artist, is to highlight relationships between people, and between people and the environments they live in.
Please join me in celebrating Melissa's new album, Fearless Love, by contributing to my community arts project as part of my graduate school requirements. Participating is simple. Just answer as many of the questions as possible that I have made available at the SurveyMonkey website. I've set up the SurveyMonkey page to provide freedom of anonymity so not to infringe on anyone's privacy.
I'd to collect everyone's response and use them to put together a creative map illustrating something about the relationships between fans and Melissa. I am calling my project the Melissa Arena Project (MAP). I have to do a little presentation in my course in early March, so I'll work with whatever responses I get until the end of February. If anyone is interested, I'll think about a way to post something about the resulting map and presentation where you can see it online.
The Melissa Arena Project Survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NHHS6GW
Your help would be super fun for me, and much, much appreciated!
Peace,
Ren"
To see more responses from other Melissa Etheridge fans or to leave your own please go to M.E.I.N.

Melissa Etheridge Interview w/ The Eco - Friendly Street Team
With the hard rocking single Fearless Love hitting the airwaves and an album by the same name not far away, Melissa Etheridge was kind enough to answer a few questions for the Eco-Friendly Street Team.
Street Team: The obvious message about the single Fearless Love is just that. What extended message would you like your fans and new listeners to get from the whole album?
Melissa Etheridge: If there is a message that the listeners can come away with I hope it would be one of the choice of love and fear and how we can let fear run our lives or we can begin to make choices from love.
Street Team: We've asked fans, band and crew members what one word would they select to describe you, and some of the words we've received are: Rock, Complex, Strong, Survivor, Butterfly, Spiritual, Inspiring, Love, Real, Multi-Faceted, Vivacious, Universal, Strength, Extraordinary, Awesome, Funny, Positive, Passionate. What one word would you use to describe yourself, and why?
Melissa Etheridge: I guess that word would have to be Grateful. Grateful that so many would say such strong and positive words about me. If I can stay in gratitude then I can see the perfectness in everything and that will always keep me in the vibration of love.
Street Team: What one word would you choose to describe your fans and why?
Melissa Etheridge: One word to describe my fans? Perfect. Why? They send me the greatest feeling of love everyday.
Street Team: Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer questions for us at the Street Team!
Melissa Etheridge: Thank you.
We here at the Street Team would like to send out waves of love and gratitude out to Melissa Etheridge for so many things she does for her fans around the world.
. . . and we are now envisioning Melissa swooping those waves of love and gratitude right back to all of us. Because she rocks like that.
The single Fearless Love by Melissa Etheridge is available here on itunes. The album Fearless Love is available for pre-order at Amazon. Catch Melissa performing Fearless Love and other songs from the new album April 1 in Palm Springs, CA and April 3 in Primm, NV. You can find all Melissa Etheridge's Tour dates at www.melissaetheridge.com/tour

Melissa Etheridge Interview w/ Melinda Newman @ Spinner.com
Thank you RAIN!!! To see what other fans are saying about this interview please go here.
Melissa Etheridge Returns to Rock on 'Fearless Love'
Posted on Dec 16th 2009 5:00PM
by Melinda Newman www.spinner.com
Melissa Etheridge has long been a crusader, whether it's as a gay rights activist, an environmentalist or breast cancer survivor. On 'Fearless Love,' the first single and soaring title track from her forthcoming album, she is a zealot of a different sort, championing our inalienable right to love unafraid and, as she sings, never "settle for anything less."
Buoyed by her excitement about her 10th studio album, the Grammy and Academy Award winner told Spinner she's in "an amazing place," both physically and emotionally. Here she talks about her first kiss, her activism and her return to rock.
Q: The first line of 'Fearless Love' is "I was 17, you kissed my lips." What inspired that line?
It was the first time I kissed a girl. I try to put my own experiences in my songs, of course, and yet have them remain universal. It was intense going through that experience and having the fireworks go off: "Oh my God, this is greatest thing ever! This is what all my girlfriends have been talking about when they kiss boys" and stuff. I was like, "Hmmm I don't feel that" and then all of a sudden I felt it and I had to keep it in to myself. It will eat you
up. It's horrible to have to put a lid on something.
Q: The song features the line "You are what are afraid of." What do you mean by that?
That's what I'm trying to push forward in this song. I am what I am and we all are. We are exactly what we are: what we look like, we feel, that's what we are. We take that and become whatever we are afraid of. If you take that on and say, "Oh I'm afraid of this" and it stops you from doing, then you become what you are afraid of.
Q: What was the impetus for this song?
When I first sat down in January, I really started working on the songs. I knew I would be recording in July and I wanted to give myself months to really bring this together because the whole concept of the album is just that everything in our lives comes down to fear and love. There are only two vibrations in the world and you're
either making a love choice or a fear choice, so the working title of this album was 'Songs of Fear of Love.'
Q: Why did you change it?
As I started writing these songs, my older kids said "Mom, what are you going to call the album?" I said "'Songs of Fear and Love'" and [my daughter, Bailey] said, "It's too many words, mom." I said, "Okay, How about 'Fearless'?" and she said "Taylor Swift album. Why don't you say 'Fearless Love'?" So 'Fearless Love,' that's kind of perfect, but I have to write a song for that now. I think she said that in the morning, I dropped her off at school and I came home and I wrote this song.
Q: What does loving fearlessly mean to you?
It means everything. It means loving myself fearlessly. That's where it starts -- by saying I love myself enough to make the choices that are out of love and not out of fear. I love myself enough to not be fearful, just loving yourself fully and clearly. Once you do that, you understand that you can love fearlessly in the world.
Q: What else can you tell us about the album?
The whole album just rocks and rocks and rocks. It doesn't give up. Every song is very emotional and very intense. There are all kinds of different subjects in it. There's a couple where I sing about other people, situations where I'm the third person observer and I don't do that very often. I decided I want to do that more.
Q: Bruce Springsteen, whom you love, talks about his lifelong conversation with his audience. What's your lifelong conversation with your fans like?
My first album started my lifelong conversation. When I write an album, I know there are layers, I know there are people who will go, that's a nice song, she does that 'Window' song and they listen to it on that level and that's great. Then there are those that go a little deeper and then there are those who are really looking for what I'm
trying to say, my intention, the emotional background of where I was coming from when I wrote those songs. What was I questioning? What was I expressing? Sometimes I'll use a phrase that goes back to something early and these fans, they catch it. There are things that I write just for them. There are songs that you'll never hear on the
radio, but they'll hear it. They'll take it as when I listen to my Bruce albums. They'll take everything in and listen to it on that level and I wanted to give that.
Q: You, at various points, have been the poster child for breast cancer survivors, gay rights, environmentalism. Do you ever worry that that's all going to overshadow your music?
I don't worry about that. Sometimes it does overshadow. I know there are people who know me as that lesbian who sang bald on the Grammys, the Janis Joplin song, and that's what they know. That's okay and I'm hoping that this album can actually reach those people who know of me, who know that 'Water' song and can go, "Oh that's what's she's doing." Because, yeah, a lot of times the universe puts me on the edge of stuff sometimes and I've agreed to speak about it and here I am."

if you're not in the Victoria area, you can still listen online. head over to http://www.theq.fm/?q=listen_live and click on the "Listen Live to The Q! Now" link. a player will pop up in a separate window. you don't have to be in Canada to listen - i'm in NoCal, and i'm listening to AC/DC on the station now."

Melissa Etheridge - Fearless Love Single

First off I love the artwork on the cover and the song is absolutely great. The music, lyrics and emotion Melissa expresses vocally. GREAT SONG!! You can hear this song if you're a member at M.E.I.N. there is a sneak peek of the song in the members only area. Thank you Melissa Etheridge for giving us that gift of your single and M.E.I.N. for ruling the school of fan club cool. Thank you for the lyrcis Lora.
Fearless Love Lyrics
When I woke up I was 17
You kissed my lips in a bad bad dream
Showed me things aren’t what they appear to be
Called me angel and set me free
You gave me life in the cold cold dark
But you ran away in the mornings spark
Made me think that reality
Is not where I want to be
I am what I am and
I am what I am afraid of
Oh what am I afraid of
I need a fearless love
Don’t need to fear the end
If you can’t hold me now
You will never hold me again
I want to live my life
Pursuing all my happiness
I want a fearless love
I won’t settle for anything less
I’ve walked my path had worlds collide
I lost my way and I fooled my pride
This lover’s ache wouldn’t feel so strange
If I could only change
But I am what I am and
I am what I am afraid of
So what am I afraid of
I need a fearless love
Don’t need to fear the end
If you can’t hold me now
You will never hold me again
I want to live my life
Pursuing all my happiness
I want a fearless love
I won’t settle for anything less
Now I’m not here to lay the blame
I understand when you hold a flame
Heads will shake heads will turn
And sometimes you just get burned
