I brought my daughter up on strong female roles and Melissa's music was a part of that. It didn't matter that my daughter wasn't gay, what mattered was that whatever she felt was okay. Just be yourself, that's what I get from Melissa Etheridge. I saw her live at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in 1994 and I am still listening to her music today.

Thank you for creating this channel. I used to have soooo many MLE programs and appearances on VHS that have almost all disappeared in my many moves. Such a great walk down memory lane featuring my favorite musician of all time. ❤️

Her parents are a treasure. If only more parents back then had responded to ‘coming out’ in the same way.

Thank you so much, Hester! I was looking for this for a while now. I am also looking for some VH1 programming from the 90s. 1) VH1 Weekend Special with Melissa feb 96; 2) VH1 to one with Melissa + The Making of Your Little Secret oct 95. If you happen to have these two, please, let me know!

joyrider08 Hi, I think I have the one about making YLS! Gotta check though if the quality is any good or if I need to edit a bit to improve it. Would love to watch those other VH1 specials you mention but I don’t have those. I have a few other nice specials (e.g storytellers, CMT crossroads with Dolly Parton) that YT unfortunately doesn’t allow me to upload🙁

@@HestersMusicVideos thanks. It would be awesome. If you don't wanna put it here just let me know if you can share somewhere else for me to download. About the VH1, i recently got hold of some files from 95 and 96, mostly commercials, but i found some Melissa bumpers there, especially from when she was artist of the month and I will upload it soon. Unfortunately i didn't find complete shows, except for the Life Beat you have it here. Looking forward to see what you have!! Thanks a lot! How is the dutch holding on with the pandemic? Is it safer there now?

Hi, I’m working on the VH1/YLS video so watch out for that. Did you see this VH1 special: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mOCjZsl6x8DUqY0.html ? BTW What is your YT channel? We’re slowly moving out of our ‘intelligent lockdown’ into a new ‘1,5 meter society’. Hopefully we won’t get a 2nd wave but we’ll see this Fall what happens...

I still remember the first time I heard ‘Bring Me Some Water’, life changing. Edit: The inclusion of Tom Cruise was a downer. Realise this is decades old but it’s jarring in 2023.

I’m 2 years older then Melissa, and the society upheavals, race relations and Vietnam war never entered my bubble . Except when my much older cousin came home from Vietnam and stayed with us . He had PTS flash backs so we my older sister and I would have to wake him to go to work as a pizza maker. We’d shake his shoulder and runnnnnnnnm

Susan Anderson, Hey 👋. I’m exactly 1 year and 5 days older than Melissa. And I am also a very sheltered kid from way back in the day. The closest bigotry I experienced, inside my Family, was that many of my adoptive Family hadn’t made it through WW2. Almost all were murdered by Hitler and his Nazis. My Aunt/Uncle survived. Bigotry outside of my Family, was directed at me bc I had been adopted into a Jewish Family. Location = tiny town in a deep red, Southern State.

Well, Julie who was the love of Melissa’s life betrayed Melissa , having a night with KD Lang - because Julie was curious about how it would be with another woman….. Lo and behold, Julie tells Melissa “ I’m not sure I’m gay”, then breaks up with Melissa , shattering Melissa’s whole world…… ( shame on you Julie but , you do you). Melissa winds up marrying another woman , having twins with her and ….. Melissa leaves her, ( because she wasn’t the love of Melissa’s life)…… now… today… she’s married to Linda Wallem, who is now basically managing Melissa’s career, and they seem very happy together.
