MSNBC 把她要上網的時間改了三次，
終於定案在美東時間八月四日的下午五點，
換算成台灣的時間就是今天凌晨五點，
我今天凌晨四點就爬起來，
先跑到 MSNBC 瞭解一下情況，
看看時間有沒有改等等的，
因為提早爬起來，所以還有機會可以問問題，
（方式是寄給 Host，他們篩選過後會幫你問，所以你還是無法直接跟她交談）
興奮的等了約一個小時，她還蠻準時的，
五點整左右就出現在 Chat Room，
回答了好幾個問題（有一個是我的唷，我只寄了兩個問題），
不過原本應該進行一個小時的聊天，不知何故卻只進行了約四十分鐘，
雖然覺得短了些，但是還是蠻好玩的經驗。
以下是今天聊天室的內容
（一開始有人用她的 ID 進來 test，我想，哇，is this real）
Subject: Sheryl Crow 8-4-99
From: Chris Donohue (MSNBC)
Host: MSNBC
Date: Wed Aug 4 17:26:02
In Sheryl Crow's most recent CD, a reissue of The Globe Sessions,鐊love is, at best, bittersweet. It brings pain, regret and,
occasionally, moments of healing and epiphany. The one new track,
Sweet Child O鈠Mine,鐠tempers the despair by ending the album on an
optimistic note. Crow, who also produced the album, steeps the songs
in multitextured ambience. Horns and strings embellish guitar, drum
loops, keyboards and percussion. Crow's previously released albums
include "Tuesday Night Music Club" in 1994 and a self-titled
album in 1996.

Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Reminder: Sheryl Crow will be on the Today show Friday morning on NBC
http://today.msnbc.com
Host Chris__MSNBC says:

（這邊正式開始）
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Hi, it's great to be here, let's begin.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Scotty: I love your music. In my opinion you are and
will be a powerful force in the world of Rock and Roll. No, I am not
going to ask you if you were influenced by the Beatles, since I know
that you have been asked that question about one million times.
However, I will ask you how your mid-west background influenced your
music?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I think the way you grow up and the things you're exposed to lend
heavily to what you have to say about things that you see in your
life. I was exposed to hard working people, raised by middle class
religious people, so my music was based on Americana.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from HOLLEY HARIELSON: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO DO A REMAKE OF
GUNS AND ROSES HIT?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I was originally contacted by Rick Rubin, the wonderful producer of
the Soundtrack for "Big Daddy", and knowing I only had 2 days
in my touring schedule, that I wouldn't be able to write something
for the movie, he suggested "Sweet Child of Mine" and I
thought that was a wonderful idea.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
And no, I haven't gotten to meet anyone in Guns N Roses, well
actually, I met Slash but not since I recorded that song.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Colleen: I saw you at Woodstock, you were basiclly
the entire reason I went. I just wanted to say the the way the crowd
was during your set was terrible, I felt horrible, but you put on an
amazing show in spite of a few of the few testoserone driven males
in the crowd
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from brokensticks: I am a female musician from DC. I was
outraged by the news of what happened at Woodstock. I would like to
know your view on the horrible events that occurred. -by the way, you
kick ass. and you've got lots of heart.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Well, I was stunned by the reaction at Woodstock, that not only I
received. I wasn't prepared for that rage, violence and self-loathing
that these kids had.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
The constant reminder for me at Woodstock were the cameras bringing
me to people at home and that旧 what propelled me to continue on,
otherwise I would have thrown in the towel.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
You have to remember that not everybody at Woodstock was in that
mindset. There were people who enjoyed the music and a few bad apples
who propelled a lot of negativity.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Colleen: If you could perform with any musician, past
of present, who would it be?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I would love to perform with John Lennon, not only for his
songwriting and legacy, but because he had such an original spirit
and it's great to be around people like that, it's encouraging and
inspiring.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
You rock!! I was just wondering what its like to play with Bob Dylan.
God bless!
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
All your writers are so nice and encouraging!
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
For me playing with Bob Dylan was and is every time, an inexplicably
incredible experience. Mainly because I grew up aspiring to be him
and, not to mention, you never know what will go down when you're
playing with him.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
The first time I played with him I felt like I was fulfilled.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Jessie Burrola: Are you going to be signing
autographs friday at the today show? If so Look for the girl from
Roswell with some Frito's and Powdered sugar doughnuts.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Oh my. You have a crack research team, and yes, I eat powdered sugar
donuts and Fritos after almost every gig.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Phyllis: Sometimes the media focuses more on your
looks and hair then they do the music..As an artist does that tick
you off?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Well, I always find it to be curious that not only male writers but
female fixate on my hairstyles and if that's what is implicating my
future career decisions and avenues then it is sort of a bizarre way
to look at it.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
At this point in my career I'm oblivious to what people write.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Alison: Are there any non-album tracks (B-Sides) that
you wish you had put on an album?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Actually no, I spent a lot of time formulating what will make the
best album. "All I Want to Do" was determined to be a B-side
but went on at the last minute. And B-sides often turn up in movie
soundtracks so it's good to have B-sides around.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Ustinov: Dear Sheryl I'm the manager(with linda) of
the italian fan club, i like SWEET CHILD too much !!! I want to ask
you if you enjoyed when you stayed in Italy in November to promote
GLOBE at Roxy bar tv show especially when that girl sang RUN BABY RUN
in front of you.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I loved that! I loved the woman who sang Run Baby Run钙he had so much
guts. That旧 what I love about going to Italy, the people are
fearless and exciting, and I love playing for Italian audiences. Not
to mention -- I love the food!
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Stevi: What is the best concert you have ever
attended?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I think the most moving concert was a RadioHead concert at Irving
Plaza about 2 years ago. Irving Plaza isn't so large you can't enjoy
it. The audience was on the edge the whole time and the band was so
into it.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Coyote: Your in terrific shape.. you are looking
better then ever.. besides the energy it takes to do a concert, what
do you do to maintain your stamina?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I brought a yoga instructor on the road with me for the Lilith Tour
for more than the physical aspects of yoga. Other than that, I don't
do much. I feel the two hours I perform a night are a pretty good
workout.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Cami Jack: Do you find that making music satisfies
you more now, when you're an undeniable success with millions of
fans, than it did when you were unknown? Is the personal reward
greater?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
There are some things so much easier about where I'm at in that I'm
not the new kid on the block and the phenomena has worn off and
settled into something more comfortable. I loved those days of being
in a van and setting up my own gear, and watching the audience size
grow.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Maria keefe: HI sheryl,
i am a massive fan from the UK and was wondering if you will be in
the future doing anymore UK dates?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I feel like we slighted the UK quite a bit on this tour. We have
spent a lot of time there in the past, but instead it seemed like we
did a lot of Press in the beginning. On the next album we'll
definitely be spending more time there!
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Shelley: How do you feel about this being the last
Lilith Fair?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I think Sarah and her partners were brilliant in every aspect of
setting up the Lilith Tour. One of the most foresightful decisions
they made was that a tour like this could only be special for so
long. They determined 3 yrs was a good length and Sarah feels like
leaving the tour on top is the best way to leave it with people.
Host Chris__MSNBC says: （這是我問的）
Question from Teresa: You've been cooperated with so many people,
which experience you enjoy the most?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I've enjoyed working most consistently with Jeff Trott because we
have a comfortable dialogue between us, and a familiarity.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
As far as collaborating with people on stage I love playing with
Dylan and Clapton, and Stevie Nicks.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from SPAZ: WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I grew up in Kennett, Missouri...in the boot hills, and there is only
one high school and that's the one I attended绛ennett High School.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from David Ribeiro: Did you enjoy your stay in Lisbon
Portugal ? I've seen you live 6 times and that was the time you
looked the happiest, you even did the moonwalk like Michael...
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Oh my, I must have been happy!
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I loved visiting Portugal贸t seems we don't get there very often.
That gig was special not only because it was outdoors and a beautiful
night, but also we had a great day wondering around Lisbon and
getting to meet some of the people.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Greg: Does the illegal trading of MP3's upset you?
(do you enjoy the Internet) added by editor
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I have come to love the Internet. I was slow to the change it was
bringing because of the intimidation factor but now I'm finding its a
lot of fun and it's extremely handy, and we have a great time on a
daily basis updating our website and staying in touch with our fans.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
The MP3 subject is very heated as it is for most artists. It旧 a very
unknown area in which there can be a lot of piracy in which artists
are not paid for their goods rendered. At this point, I believe not
only artists but managers and record labels are trying to find a way
to work with MP3 and make it fair to artists who are on the creative
path and don't feel like giving their art away.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from bigfanofyours: In what kind of venue do you most like
to perform? outside, inside, large crowds, or small intimate
settings, and where?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Never playing the same kind of venue too much keeps all of it
interesting. Probably consistently I enjoy the theatre atmosphere of
4-5000 because of the intimacy to connect with the audience.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
But I'll never complain about opening for the Rolling Stones and
their 65,000 fans.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Jackie Rada: Is there anything you do before each
performance for "good luck"?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
The only ritual I have is to have at least a bit of time with the
band. Hanging out listening to music, maybe have a glass of wine. I
don't like to be distracted before I go onstage.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Sean: What are your favorite CDs to listen to when
you are on the road and why are they significant?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I listen to all different things. There's no reason or rhyme钧sually
I listen to anything from late 60's music to Beck and Radiohead贸t
just depends on my mood.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Sheryl Crew: Sheryl, on behalf of the Sheryl Crew
(unofficial mailing list), I would just like to say thank you for all
your great music. Did you enjoy the book that we put together for you
for your birthday earlier this year?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I loved the book and I keep it in my wardrobe case and the band has
spent a lot of time looking at it also, occasionally ribbing me for a
picture or two. I really appreciate the amount of work that went into
it!
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Colleen: Do you feel that with all the recent record
label mergers that with the corperate feeling in the air, that the
true meaning of music, to entertain, is being lost?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I think that what旧 happening in the industry is emulating what旧
happening everywhere in every facet of life, in that there is so much
information that is so rapidly being communicated we were headed to
this point anyway. Now it旧 a matter of trying to pull back and
trying to tap into something that旧 real.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
As long as there are people out playing live music, there will still
be that kind of contact.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Mary: Biological clock, they exsist, but do you have
one? Or just plan to be rockin' full-time/forever?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Well, I would love to have babies and I don't think it旧 out of the
question. I also feel like there has been a sort of path my life has
led me down and if it旧 meant to be I'll be a Mom someday. And I
might even be a rocking Mom!
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Keith Matzkanin: Hi Sheryl! Just wondering..How long
have you had Scout? How old is he?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Scout旧 age is to be undetermined because I adopted him and he was
already grown. I'm going to guess he is 9 or 10. He is a part gold
lab and the rest mutt.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from svk1069: Love your new look. What prompted it?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Tired of my same old long hair.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Paul Tiazkun: Who do you think is or was the greatest
WOMAN ROCKER of all time?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I would probably have to say Janice Joplin because she seemed to not
only emulate but encapsulate a fiery rebellion.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Pas: I heard that Scout came out for one of your
Lilith shows. Do you think you'll bring him out Sunday
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Scout旧 stage appearances are behind him now because too many people
became too familiar with him and it kind of freaked me out.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Keri Colwell: Did you enjoy filming The Minus Man?
are you looking into doing more filmwork?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I enjoyed working on the Minus Man because it was only a few days of
shooting and the part was interesting. I played a junkie and I loved
the cast and director so I felt it was a safe environment to get my
feet wet as an actress. And no, I don't think I'll be acting again.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from somefools: If I happened to manage an, as yet,
unknown male artist sure to be major star, how would I go about
getting his music in your hands? (He would be perfect opening for
you)
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I don't take tapes or CDs because of the lawsuit factor. You never
know if someone will accuse you of plagiarizing. I encourage anyone
starting to investigate opportunities on the Internet, i.e.: Sarah is
in the process of creating a talent search where people will have the
opportunity to have their music heard online.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from David Ribeiro: Sheryl, Why do you keep changing your
band's line-up, is it for new experiences, or don't you like the
previous band members? Nonetheless, you always put on the best shows!
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I've only changed my band lineup between tours for instance. The band
that went out on the first album toured the entire time for 2.5 years.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
After the 2nd album I changed the lineup because the 2nd album was
different...and the same holds true for the 3rd album.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Peggy: If you ever did stop touring, where would you
"settle"?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I am as of now settled in New York and Los Angeles. My studio and
apartment is in New York, however I have a house in L.A. I'm in
Hartford, CT right now.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Happy: Are You involved in a romantic relationship
now?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Oh Happy, thanks for your concern; yes I've been involved with a very
nice gentleman for a year now.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from JC: Hi Sheryl I'm JC from France
I was said you were preparing an acoustic tour, just you and Tim
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Yes, I'm hoping to tour acoustically in hopefully February or March.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from kellyokelly: I saw you on "Hard Rock Live" on
VH-1. Is that a real tattoo on your arm?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
No, in fact that旧 the rubber jewelry that looks like a tattoo that
every kid in America is now wearing. So I'm not the original for that
I just didn't realize how big they were until after I did the show.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Melody: How do you select your clothes for concerts?
Where do you shop? We are HUGE fans and wish you the best of luck
with everything.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I wind up wearing Earl leather jeans a lot, it seems I'll spend time
and money shopping, but what I'm most comfortable in are the Earl
jeans and leathers.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Shawn: Where can i get the song Volvo Cowgirl 99? i
have heard a clip of it from the internet and i love it i would love
to have the whole thing. and which version do you like better The
Na-Na song or Volvo Cowgirl 99?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I had completely forgotten about that song. I believe it's a b-side
to something and that's all I can tell you on that.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Will you perform it in France or Europe ?
Come back soon
Love
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
France holds a very special spot for me because it was the first
country to play my music. Hopefully, we'll be back early in the next
album promotion, which I imagine will be next fall.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from cowboy: I spend more time on a horse than anything,
whats your recreational pastime. ps your truly beutifull( w/ all do
respect)
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Gee, thank you. I spend a lot of time playing music and when I'm not
-- doing very normal things like hanging out with friends, going out
to dinner, and going to movies.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
What旧 your favorite movie out right now?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Must admit the last movie I saw was "Eyes Wide Shut" and I
would give it mixed reviews. But I haven't seen a movie in a long
time other than that one.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from kerry: who was the hot guitar player at the Eric
Clapton and Friends show in July?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
Well, other than Eric who is a hot guitar player, Tim Smith was on my
left, and Andy Fairweather-Lowe was on my right. I'll give both of
them your comment.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Shawn: is there any plans to release your unreleased
album?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
No plans as of yet. And I probably won't.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from wheelie: How or Who taught you the guitar?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I taught myself to play guitar when I decided I wanted to write rock
songs.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
And I began by teaching myself some of Dylan旧 easier stuff and
worked my way through.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Courtney: Who is your role model?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
My strongest role models were my Mom and Dad. As a young child I
aspired to be like my older sister Kathy who was writing songs and
playing in a piano bar.
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
From there I wanted to be Mick Jagger.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from jessica a.: why do you never play in florida?people
like you in fla to!
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
We play Florida a lot. We just played Miami two months ago. Not to
mention, we rehearsed our tour in Lakeland.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Question from Patricia Cottrell: Hi Sheryl. I met you before the
show in Madison, WI. Thank you for the highlight of my life! What is
it like constantly being on the road and touring?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
There are great things about it and there are tough things about it.
I find after I've been on the road for a couple of months one day
runs into the next day and is only divided by two hours of music. I'm
grateful that I'm making my living and spending my life doing
something I love.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Final Question: Question from i_luv_sherylcrow: which is your
favorite/least favorite song on Globe Sessions?
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
My favorite song is probably "River Wide". And my least
favorite song -- it depends on which song I'm tired of playing and
I'm a little tired of playing "Members Only" but I don't mind
listening to it.
Host Chris__MSNBC says:
Final Comments蔊
Host Sheryl_Crow says:
I've had a great time chatting with everyone. You couldn't have been
nicer. Thanks for checking in!
