A guitarist. He's played with her in some TV appearances, and he's listed
in the credits for a few songs on _Come_On_Come_On_.
I don't have any info about their current relationship, because it's none
of my business.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Not _that_ thread again... it should be given it's own newsgroup it is
such a recurring rumour.
Fact: there is no evidence that Mary Chapin Carpenter is, has ever been,
or ever will be, homosexual. (not that there would be anything wrong with
it if she was).
Can we close the subject (again) ?

Let's just stop this right now. NO ONE respond to this thread.
No, she is not a lesbian. At least she wasn't one a few years ago
when she and John Jennings had a relationship, which they will freely
talk about.
This whole MCC lesbian thing is a rumor that crops up in this newsgroup
every few months; it usually seems to be brought up by someone that
doesn't like MCC, as if accusing her of being queer will somehow tarnish
her image. Whatever the motivation, it's a rumor, and rumors just suck.
This one usually drags this newsgroup into a big ugly flame war.
She might be bisexual. She might be heterosexual. She may be a lesbian
who just realized it lately. She might be celibate. It's none of our
business, and if you want to know whom she is or isn't sleeping with,
you'll have to ask her yourself.
So let it die. Now. If you must reply, do it via e-mail, to
schn...@maroon.tc.umn.edu. Thank you.

Excuse me if I'm wrong here, but the contents of ones recorded songs does not
in any way speak for their sexual orientation. Just ask Ty Herndon...

Nice going. And just where did you hear it? From Ms. Carpenter herself?
From her publicist? On "Hard Copy"? "A Current Affair"? More likely,
from someone reading a trashbloid in a checkout line at the supermarket?
And this tidbit comes from the same self-proclaimed Billy Ray Cyrus fan
who just posted all over the place in r.m.c.w. about how Billy Ray Cyrus
fans are so much maligned, and unjustly so, because in reality they are
truly sensitive and respectful of other artists and their fans and are
careful about not slamming or spreading rumors against artists they do not
like, unlike so many other people in the newsgroup. The true colors
always bleed through in the end, don't they?

I agree with you. A song does not tell you the sexual
orientation of a person. And on the other hand, who cares if she is a
lesbien or not? It is her business what her sexual preferences are and
we have no right to say what we feel anyway, right? Good for you for
standing up to nosy and ignorant people. The next time someone says
something about it, tell them to listen to "I feel lucky" -....In the

Maybe because this rumor has been floating around for years and her fans (and
just about everyone lese who's been listening to country music for more than
six months) is tired of it by now. The people who post stuff like this as
though it were hot news will probably next be breathlessly informing us that
Johnny Cash used to have a drug problem.
Glupot
imminent or MCC has passed another career milestone, and the poster wants
to dilute MCC's contribution to music and country music. Uh oh, what's
this? On Wednesday, MCC received this year's Billboard Award for best
country video for "Shut Up and Kiss Me." So, I guess the MCC detractors
will fade away until the Grammy nominations are announced.

I don't know, maybe because it really doesn't affect her music whether
she is or she isn't, even though it has become apparent that she isn't,
or she wasn't, and if she was, who would care?

Well, John,
I think you stopped reading the previous post too early. It said:
" careful about not slamming or spreading rumors against artists..."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think this is the part that applies to the original thread. No
one I have seen took it as a slam on MCC, but it most definitely is
spreading a rumor that true or not, we do not need to go through for the
10000th time here.
> just curious and people take it as if MCC being a lesbian would be some

Again, I think you are guilty of jumping off the deep end here,
too. I haven't read anything in any of the threads so far where it seems
like anyone has a problem with Mary Chapin being whoever and whatever she
wants to be. You are obviously very new to this newsgroup if you can't
understand that people here are tired of the kind of threads that a
statement like the first guy's will start up. The last time someone
posted the very same, word for word statement about MCC in this group it
sprouted several stupid threads which lasted for months. I think most of
us were very happy to see them finally die off.
And, by the way, I have been lurking and have noticed that the
"Blakbaa" person you are defending is doing a pretty good job of what I
would call "slamming" and stirring things up in a couple of other threads
floating around in this group right now. If you pay closer attention, it
is usually pretty easy to see what some people's real intentions are.
> And you're pretty right about how true colors bleed through in

Well, "Johhny", with this you have showed us yours, too. Is it
because maybe you are so worked up about the thread because you are one of
them Billy Ray Cyrus fans, or you are gay yourself, or both?

is or does. She could be purple and I could care less. If you notice, I
did write just what I heard. This establishes that it is not a known
fact. I think that should say it all..If I had tried to establish it as
fact, then I could see people getting pissy. I didn't mean to piss anyone
off, and if I did, well then I'm sorry. I did not mean any disrespect by
my comment. It was just a comment, some words typed on a screen. That's

(FIRST POINT OF CONTENTION)
: Well, John,
: I think you stopped reading the previous post too early. It said:
: " careful about not slamming or spreading rumors against artists..."
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: I think this is the part that applies to the original thread. No
: one I have seen took it as a slam on MCC, but it most definitely is
: spreading a rumor that true or not, we do not need to go through for the
: 10000th time here.
Look, the very original poster was asking whether or not MCC was
married to Mike McAdam or not. That's all she asked. Then someone
innocently asked (at least that's how it appeared to me) if MCC was a
lesbian and that's when everything got out of hand. The way some (not all)
people replied made it seem like wondering if MCC was a lesbian was akin to
asking if the Pope was a pedophile. People DID take it as an attack.
I point out the wording that YOU so kindly highlighted: it says
"spreading rumors AGAINST artists." The person I was replying to
unmistakably implied that spreading a rumor about MCC possibly being a
lesbian was a rumor AGAINST Mary Chapin Carpenter. That's what I was
responding to: the poster implied that the lesbian rumor was something
detrimental and I answered that line of thought.
(SECOND POINT OF CONTENTION)
I've been lurking on this newsgroup for over two years and I've
read what Blakbaa has written. Some of it may have been just trolling,
but if it was, it was poor trolling. VERY POOR trolling. He's a total
busher in the trolling world. I'm aware of what goes on in this group,
okay? I'm no newbie, newfie, newpie, Newtie, or necktie.
(THIRD POINT OF CONTENTION)
: > And you're pretty right about how true colors bleed through in

: Well, "Johhny", with this you have showed us yours, too. Is it
: because maybe you are so worked up about the thread because you are one of
: them Billy Ray Cyrus fans, or you are gay yourself, or both?
First off, I did make a petty, insulting remark based on the end
of the article I responded to. That was hasty but I was frustrated with the
ignorance that I saw in that article. The article, UNQUESTIONABLY in my
mind, made being a lesbian sound like something bad. The rumor is
ENTIRELY UNTRUE and dolled out entirely too many times by people that are
new. But people considering it as a rumor that goes "against" MCC...? I don't
think so. That ain't right.
Secondly (but quite a bit redundantly), I did not get worked up
over the "thread," okay? I was directing my comments at the poster I
responded to and THAT'S ALL. I was responding to his thoughts, or at
least the way he represented those thoughts through his words. I was
responding to the ignorance I especially saw in his opinion.
Finally, "...murph", I don't understand what the hell Billy Ray Cyrus
has to do with all this. I've never even heard one of Billy Ray's songs,
just so you know, and if you're talking about Blakbaa's love of Billy
Ray, then you need to get yourself a reality check at Dr.Sledgehammer's
office. I wasn't defending Blakbaa. I was defending the words "I heard
MCC is a lesbian...just what I heard," or whatever it was that got this
damn mess started, and poster of those words be damned. It could have
been MCC's evil twin that posted those words but to me, they sounded
like AN INNOCENT QUESTION.
I'm not gay, but so what if I were? What I am dealing with here,
is the problem of ignorance, not homosexuality, not heterosexuality, or
anything that narrow. Look, there is no homo or hetero; there
is no black and white; there is no man and woman. There is only IGNORANCE
and INTELLIGENCE. Hitler killed 30 million white people that were
essentially no different from him: they were human beings. At the same
time, thousands of black babies will die in the next few days in Africa
because their black leaders will not allow them to have the food to
survive. A heterosexual man will beat his wife, and a homosexual man will
beat his lover. IN THE END, THERE IS ONLY IGNORANCE AND INTELLIGENCE.
Yeah, I'll drag out that quickly tiring line and say that your
true colors bled through, too. And you know, you're right. I definitely
showed mine.
But you know what the difference is?
I can be proud of mine.

Mike,
I think Steve Earle is a bit too classy of Redneck music for AOLers.
Shouldn't they be listening to Allison Krauss doing remakes of Steve's
greatest hits?

It seems as if Steve Earle has a bigger following outside of his own
country than inside it. I know that in Canada Steve is fairly
popular--I notice also that he's taken some interest in Canadian
things, too.

Northern Territory and Kimberley Region of Australia. I grew up on (cattle) stations
and live the good life, so to speak, of dust, blood, sweat, and country music.
I must say, when it comes to Steve Earle, there wasnt a person around who didnt
so everyone can see............................
Ellaree Beaty Philippen
singer and songwriter who was real big a few years back, then
kind of disappeared because of personal problems. Now he's back
and has a great new accoustic album ("Train a-comin'") and another
coming out in a month or so.
He is from Texas and plays a mean guitar and also mandolin.
His songs are very unusual, but with universal themes that can touch
everyone. Listen closely to the words!!
Lots of people are doing his songs now: the Highwaymen,
Emmylou Harris, and Travis Tritt to name a few.
So run right out and give him a listen!
I guess the reference to him in the MCC marital status post
had to do with his 6 marriages or drug problems in the past.

Umm, only one of the best country *songwriters* there is. His songs
have been covered by many, most notably Shawn Colvin's wonderful
version of "Someday" and the version of "Reckless Heart" she does live;
he's admired by many of today's artists, including Kim Richey. He
had some drug problems in the eighties, but his "Guitar Town" is
generally recognized as one of the best; current release is, I think,
"Train A-Comin".
And you didn't answer, if I recall, when I asked *where* exactly
you had heard the rumor that you posted in the previous "MCC's
Marital Status" thread.

That's the part that confused me. I couldn't figure out why he was
mentioned with MCC. Everyone and their mother has been sending me
information on Steve Earle, and even with all the information given, I
still couldn't make the connection. It all makes sense now! To everyone
that sent me all that they knew, thank you. I have been enlightened. You
learn something new every day!
God bless

Now there is nothing wrong with being a lesbian. Many great artists are,
actors also like
KD Lang
Melissa Ethridge
Lilly Tomlin
Amanda Berese (Married W/ Children's Marcy)
Not to mention many many more.
What difference does it make. The important thing is they are all wonderful
entertainers and it doesnt matter what they do in their private lives.
In no way am I verifying MCC's sexual preferance, just letting you know its
okay if she is. It doesnt matter.

Where did you hear *that*? Not that there would be anything wrong with
it, but I really think you're wrong there. She was so *convincing* in
Short Cuts with Tom Waits, really...

Of course it matters. All those artists you mentioned
are *out,* which makes all the difference in the world.
I do get annoyed with myself for posting to threads like this one.
Like others have said, it would in some ways be much better for
it to just die before any more harm is done.
But there are strong forces fueling intrusive questions
about an artist’s sexual preferences, things that are even stronger than
the arguable right of an artist to keep her private life private while
selling millions of albums full of songs about emotions and attractions
and the ethical minefields of passion. If men who like her thought they
had
reason to believe she wouldn’t like them back (never mind that they’re not
likely to ever meet in this lifetime!) many of them would feel like chumps
for
buying her albums, and her sales to men and hetero women would
fall. Not so hard to see why, but it would be lose-lose: her career
would
suffer without her having done anything to deserve it, and many people
who used to enjoy her act would back away from it and couldn’t let
themselves enjoy it anymore.
In MCC’s case, the question I think is fueled by her strong,
unaccommodating
stage presence. She appeals to women in general, and to thinking men, and
does
it without having grown up in the genre (she’s “Gone Country,” going
against
the grain of all fans who believe that unless you grew up on a farm or
at least in the South, “You can like country but you can’t *be* country”)
and her stage costumes are not designed to threaten women or arouse men.
No display of cleavage, sequins or big hair, nothing tight. She comes
across as
someone who dresses to please herself: comfortable, not distracting. You
can
pay better attention to the songs that way.
Some of her work is a sock in the jaw to family values as defined by the
right
arm of the industry. She’s got her own brand of the stuff. Guys who feel
uncomfortable at concert footage of women dancing in their seats to a
rollicking
celebration of a woman with three little kids pulling out on a soul-dead
marriage -- well, okay, be uncomfortable. But also be aware that “He
Thinks
He’ll Keep Her” was co-written by Don Schlitz, a mainstay of the Nashville
songwriting establishment ever since Rogers recorded “The Gambler.”
For those who only have a few big boxes that they’re comfortable
putting everybody into, it would put a lot of unease to rest, and justify
a lot
of hostility, if these nasty and persistent rumors turned out to have
basis in reality.
I say nasty because I don’t think they’re being spread by anyone who
means her well.

Did someone say, "Who the heck is Steve Earle"?
Take my advice and NEVER come to Texas.
Steve Earle is a super picker (Guitar Town) and writer (Sometimes She
Forgets).

I don't think Sometimes was a great example of his work...I hate Travis
Tritt, anyway, but the song just wasn't that great. Personally, I
love Someday...as long as Shawn Colvin's singing it. And she does
a great Reckless Heart <isn't that the title?> in her live shows...

Macgordon
musical cloth as her admitted idols Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Mary Travers,
Joni Mitchell, and other artists as Judy Henske and Carolyn Hester, would
write and sing songs that were not the complete truth. MCC's songs
reflect a heterosexual attitude and I refuse to believe that she would be
party to "musical fraud" just to make Columbia happy. In a recent public
radio interview that originated in Europe, Baez talked of her affection
for young artists such as Dar Williams, Indigo Girls, and MCC. Would
Joan Baez have anything nice to say about someone who deliberately skewed
the lyrics of a song just to make the public masses happy? No way. It's
a great talent whose work can appeal to such a diverse audience.
