Ya know, I thought my adolescent dreams of being friends with Alanis would have worn off by now, but not so much. On the upside, these days, I wouldn't pester her to explain her (giggle giggle) dirty (giggle giggle) lyrics. Super upside, she could tell me about boning Ryan Reynolds. #lancebass
The Seattle date got a literal fists-in-the-air "YES!" from me. Take that, Mom and Dad! THIS TIME you can't stop me from going to Lilith Fair because of "the drugs and the lesbians"! #lilithfair
OMG. Lilith Fair was the stuff of my fifth grade dreams. For about two years, my after-school ritual was doing my homework while rocking out to Alanis, Fiona Apple or Tori Amos.
Add in some newer artists (Neko Case, Cat Power, Jenny Lewis, M.I.A., Lady Gaga even) and I would buy tickets! But seeing how this year's VHS Divas included Jordin Sparks and Miley Cyrus makes me fear for Lilith Fair. #lilithfair
@morninggloria: Sounds like mom is unfamiliar with Tori Amos' "Raspberry Swirl".
There's lots and lots of naughty combinations of XY
(And they never admit it till years later, didya notice?) #lilithfair
Lilith Fair was my first concert back in 10th grade. I saw Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, and the Dixie Chicks. When my mother picked me and my best friend up from the concert, she asked if we were lesbians. #lilithfair
@thesciencegirl: Me, too! Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver, with my sister on my 13th birthday. I saw Sarah and Sheryl Crow, too, and Bif Naked, who was awesome. #lilithfair
Oh man, I went to Lilith Fair every single year and loved it. I was just thinking the other day about it and how I'm in such a different place as a person and in my musical tastes. I may have to hold out judgement until I see the lineup but maybe I need to revisit 1997.
I will be seeing Tegan and Sara on Saturday, so maybe that will be my own personal Lilith Fair. #lilithfair
@LucilleTwoStep: Brandi FOR SURE! One of her first "real" shows was playing second stage at the Gorge Lilith Fair date one year.

@Ipomoea: Yep! Super excited. I'm sure it'll be a pretty lady-centric music fest so I'm amped. There are a lot of great bands going and I'm over the moon with the chance of meeting/hanging out with Brandi and the twins (creepy stalker, party of 1). #lilithfair
@LucilleTwoStep: Fact: we went to high school together and on the last day of my senior year, I got pulled over with Brandi and some mutual friends in the car while giving her a ride to someone's house for band practice. I love that in interviews now, people are like "why aren't you making a big deal of being gay?" and she's all "I'm not a pioneer, the pioneers are the Indigo Girls and Elton." And people are all shocked she's gay and really? DOGS KNEW IT. She's super-hot and super-gay. #lilithfair
@Ipomoea: I'm not a lesbian, but I have the biggest girl-crush on her. I went to her show last month, and she is just as good in person (if not better)! But yeah... I'm really surprised people make such a big deal over her being gay. Because lord knows, you can't be a super-hot lesbian or anything. #lilithfair
Everyone on this thread who was too young to go last time is making me feel so old. I was just out of college and could not afford to go.
I now feel like a sad old lady in one of those commercials where they get all giggly at a Rick Springfield concert.
If I attend, will I be the old lady there with wet naps in her purse wearing a sun hat and sensible shorts while screaming at everyone to sit down and behave so I can hear Building a Mystery? #lilithfair
@EdnasEdibles: I went to Lilith Fair in 1998. I had an apartment, my own car, bills.... reading through this made me feel old, too! you won't be the only one. #lilithfair
@EdnasEdibles: HA! I was never allowed to go to concerts - my mother thought I would "smoke drugs" (she was right) so I didn't go to a show until I was 19 - Joni Mitchell - I almost got trampled. After 30 years in radio you can't DRAG me near a stadium. Clubs only - and then it better be Peter Himmelman. #lilithfair
@sybann: And I was old enough last time but didn't want to listen to a large percentage of whiny chick music. Still don't. We'll see who'll be on the bill this time around! #lilithfair

of the mess she made
when she went away.
It's ironic.
