Yes, I've been wondering why there has been no news about this interview yet. Is it a new one, or one done at the time of Salmonberries? I do have
an old interview of the two of them discussing the film, when it first came out. I went to the main WB site, (not kd's one, which is dead, but unburied),
and looked up all DVD releases, and there was nothing about this. If WB don't get the royalties, they obviously have no interest in putting it, or
anything else, on the so-called kd lang Official Website, but, Hurry! Hurry! kd is touring with Tony Bennett this summer.

Yes -I share your disappointment Abstorch. It's obvious what the "official" site is all about -the and it's not the fans but just to make a
few sales! when you look at other fan sites for instance Nelly Furtados which has loads of pictures ,news,etc.(and you get updates through email) it makes me
so angry. I know that k.d. isn't doing anything right now (but then again how do we know) but kdlang.com ought to be cleaned up eg -get rid of old tour
dates and tv appearances. I know there's a few fans out there who'd love a chance at running an official site (including me! ) But for now we'll
just have to make do !

k.d.lang.com should be handed over to her fans, her pr should be handed over to her fans,if
they cleaned up the site it would be empty but at least it wouldn't have old stuff,they could put up some new pic's some which we haven't seen
before, this is making her look bad & people are going to think she dosen't care....Dose anyone know who works for her & who her manager
is....who can we get in contact with to let them know how we feel...i feel very sad......Shelley you should be abel to change to a multi regional dvd by
having a chip put in...you don't have to change your dvd player...

I have thought for a long time, that it is not just lack of information that is the problem, but an almost contemptuous disregard for her fans, and that
was also true of the AD run site, at the height of the Invincible Summer Tour. Outdated information can lead people to waste their time, making enquiries,
as with the present state of her site. In the past, during the IS tour,there was no mention of any non American tv or radio appearances, we wern't
told if she had an opening act here, much less who, despite there being no programs at the concerts in the UK, no mention of why there were no promised
cds at the British concerts, no information to Australians about her not going there, so they could stop postponing other plans, waiting for her, after she
had promised, on their tv, that she would be going there in January, etc., etc. One could go on and on. A few minutes, from time to time, could just
ensure a little polite consideration.It's not about prying into her private life, it's just good manners

PS. Do you remember when Obvious Gossip folded, and subscriptions were returned, we were told to be sure to look at the OG website often, and find an
Internet Cafe to visit regularly, if we did not have access to the internet, (there had been an OG questionaire of members a little while before, and about
60% said they did not have access to a computer),so that we would be sure to be kept in touch?Then, the OG site was completely neglected!

My daughter is a member of the No Doubt site .It is run by the bands drummer and its excellent.They update the site regulary ,have great merchandise ,you can
put questions to the band (and they are aswered !) and there was much excitement the other day as Gwen herself posted a message !
I suppose it needs dedication ,but it could be done -as the song goes ...........just a word .

I contacted the Modurator on the AD Board a couple of days ago,saying it was the only way to try to communicate with anyone to do with kd,and,as politely as
I could, told them what I thought of the way her fans are being treated. I ended by saying that even if Miss lang had retired, and no longer needed a fan
base, there was no reason why we could not be told that politely and considerately. I said I would be really grateful for a brief reply that I could pass on
to her many fans. Watch this space!

Perhaps, on reflection, everyone here could do the same, and bombard them with requests
for news and a properly run website.

You have all spoken the truest of the truths, here!
If UK, US, and Australian fans feel neglected by WB's marketing policy, imagine what
Greek fans feel like...
Such apathy projects a cruel and indifferent kd profile, and we all know that it really does
not hold water.
I'm standing by you in your proposition about kdlang.com being run exclusively by fans,
for it will be thoroughly updated, no question about it.
If there is will on behalf of WB's PR team, there will be a way...

ATTENTION EVERYONE
Well, here's an idea. What about writing a letter to Direct Management, who are, presumably part of Artist Direct, and were mentioned as her Management
in the credits at the end of the Live By Request video, and to Warner Brothers Public Relations Dept. (presumably they have one), with all our signatures
attached, or, the same letter seperately from each of us, trying to really do something about this, rather than just talking about it. Perhaps we could get
the Langster site members to do the same. The more the better. We would need someone who lives in L.A. to look up the addresses in the Phone Book, but
that shouldn't be a problem. What do you say, Kennedyflair? Would you be willing to co-ordinate this?

I don't yet have an address for her Management, but Donna gave these two addresses for Warners. One could ask, in the letter, for the address of anyone
more appropriate to write to. I am going to do this, and I would have thought, the more letters they receive, the better.

Hiya Abstorch , It's very good and I dont think it could hurt sending out a few of these letters just let them know that she still has fans who care !
What about a email campaign as well (mind you I suppose emails are asy to ignore )
Like you Abstorch I've sent emails to AD about the site to no effect (and no reply !)

I've slightly ammended it, to mention how Australians were promised that she would tour there with IS, on their tv, six months beforehand, during a
promotional visit and then were not told when it was decided that she was not going after all. I have also pointed out, that if the website has a poor
reputation, there may be no-one looking at it when there is some important news. I will give it a go, but don't hold your breath for results.

Good luck with your letter Abstorch. Thanks for mentioning us Aussies. It was very disappointing that kd didn't turn up after hearing her promise she
would come down here in the summer.

I'm sending off three letters, to Warners in London, New York (probably the best bet), and Warner Bros. Records Inc., 3300 Warner Blvd., Burbank, CA
91505-4694. COME ON EVERYONE IT PROBABLY WON'T DO ANY GOOD BUT LET'S GIVE IT A GO.

Well done, Abstorch!
Lets hope it does something - it's been a long time coming..... I'm surprised someone else didn't do this
earlier!
