Today's Blind Items - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - The Good - Anniversary Month
Over the next three days, I will tell you about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Today is the good. I have written about her once before in multiple parts. Here is part one and part two.
In part one of that blind I told you I met JL at an outdoor concert. I never told you the details of that day. It was a festival of sorts and I had planned on doing a lot of drinking. One of my friends picked me up that day in anticipation of me not being able to drive home. At the festival I am introduced to JL. She will always be an A lister to me and I have no problems calling her a permanent A lister. My friend knows her and introduces us. We start talking and talking and talking. My friend meanwhile, the supposedly sober one on this day is throwing back booze. A lot of booze. At the same time, I am not exactly felling great. I am really starting to feel sick and am having trouble focusing. I have had nothing to drink. The friend I came with has bailed by this point and I have no idea where he has gone. I really want to go home because of how bad I am feeling. I start wondering where I can get a cab when JL offers to take me home. It is on the way to her place and she can tell I'm sick.
We get to my place and she asks if she can quickly use the bathroom. She comes up and while she is in the bathroom I curl up in a ball on the tiled entryway to my apartment. Several hours later I wake up there with a blanket over me. JL is in my living room watching television. I literally met this person earlier that day but for the next two days she basically camps out at my place. She takes me to the doctor. Strep. Gets me food and medicine and gives up her life for 48 hours. I later found out she canceled a show because she thought I was too sick to be left alone. I spent the next five years trying to thank her.
Cancelling a show leads me to believe she is a singer? Then again it could be an actress doing a play. Hmmmmm we need more Enty.
ReplyDeleteReveal, immediately. :)
ReplyDeleteHe told us this story before as part of a long multi-part blind...now I just gotta remember who it was..lol...i'll look upon my return-it's in the archives for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'll say Entern's bff Lisa Loeb
ReplyDeleteLiz Phair?she cancelled like 5 shows in December of 1998 which this sounds like that time maybe.Lilith Fair?
ReplyDeleteAnd the friend would be Lisa Loeb like sandy said
ReplyDeletethat might've been it--- he had Liz as an answer befor & she Started Lilith Fair
ReplyDeleteGood luck, since this site moved over to this new site and format its been a bitch to locate any of the archived BI's. Well at least for me it has been.
ReplyDeleteOne of the old Blinds was about Liz Phair,Edie Brickell & Lisa Loeb (& mb Susannah Hoffs)
ReplyDeleteI woulda loved to hang with them enty:)
ReplyDeleteJust looked at one of the parts of the original blind, and someone guessed JL is Aimee Mann. Enty has written many times about how much he loves Aimee Mann, so I'm going to go with her.
ReplyDeleteand in "The Bluff" Blind (Jan 5th 2015)--his crush was Aimee Mann?
ReplyDeleteargh...i can't figure out how to find old Blinds but others MUST remember this Blind when Enty was so sick & she helped him & then even checked back in on him a day later or something like that?? anyone?
i literally JUST wrote that above..lol.
ReplyDeleteClick on the red letters for part one and two. Better yet, start with part 2, first part is mostly setup. The blind was up around the time the format changed, so I bet a lot of us missed it.
ReplyDeleteIn Enty's old Blind about "Crossing The Border" (12/26/14)---seemed like Enty
ReplyDeletehad JL as Selena--the JL because Jennifer Lopez played her in the movie.....just sayin'
and Selena died in March 1995....he tried to thank her for the next 5 years....?(i haven't reread the blind so if this is totally offbase)
ReplyDeletethank you.
ReplyDeleteThis above blind was the Blind I was talking about when Enty was sick
ReplyDeleteAnd JLo lipsynced to Selena's voice in the movie.@ back again, you and @ sandybrook can reply, I know I'm not the. Only one who can't, what format or device? Maybe security problems? Mine reloads in both mobile and laptop.
ReplyDeleteI remember that. (@Guesser)
ReplyDeletei'm using a laptop/google with Adblock/ I'm just getting comments late as usual..if that's what you meant-sounds VERY frustrating if you can't reload w/o losing everything.I'm shocked when I returned yesterday after a week or so that I get Recent Comments now.
ReplyDeleteI really REALLY want this to be Taylor Dayne.
ReplyDelete+me too! @Rebbeca
ReplyDeleteIt's not Liz Phair. She's not the type of person to go out of her way for someone like this. She was also never "mall" talent; just hard up rock critic's talent. She also didn't start Lilith Fair -- that was Sarah McLachlan.
ReplyDeleteI wish it were Aimee Mann (she is definitely the type to go out of her way and one of the coolest women in music), but she was never "mall" talent and the timing of all the blinds doesn't feel right given her mid-80s start.
Maybe it's Selena, but my guess is Alanis Morisette. Her first record was dance-pop and she was in her mid teens. She did play at malls. And she does have a history of being kind. I'd guess it took him 5 years to thank her because she exploded so insanely.
JL=Jagged Little (Pill)
