Melissa Etheridge is Back!

July 26, 2006

20060726_etheridge_160x120.jpgThe lesbian songstress is back in action. Big time. And we couldn't be happier -- not just because her tickets are so much cheaper than Madonna's.

Performing at Madison Square Garden in NYC only days after Madge left town, gays in NYC have been all atwitter for the past two nights, as the brave rocker is winning unbelievable reviews. Fans say she’s on top of her game in a way that she hasn’t been since the early days.

Remember, she survived coming out, girlfriend, baby, losing girlfriend to man, cancer, chemo, hairloss. Girl is one tough cookie.

Word is that Etheridge doesn't take a break during the three-hour-long concert. Even the band takes a break, but Melissa keeps on, accompanying herself on the piano until they’re back.

Best of all, Melissa seems to have a way of building community more than any other performer. All the instruments onstage are being auctioned off and the proceeds donated to breast cancer research. She’s doing tributes to Matthew Shepard. She’s stumping for Al Gore’s movie.

Says fan Valerie Heller, “She’s talking about truth. She’s saying we find people, and we want to change them, but we should just love the person we have in front of us. I would say she’s back one thousand percent.”
