![]() ![]() ![]() In the past I've thought of working out as a way to help lose weight, but as I've gotten more trim, I remember again and again that the working out is the icing on the cake and something I love doing no matter what my body size or shape is. ![]() Also, my weight has been down very naturally since I had my daughter, and sometimes when my weight is down, I don't do as much cardio as I should because I, like other people, sometimes over-associate working out with losing weight. Since I had a daughter, who's now 21 months old, I haven't been on top of my cardio as much. * WHERE: Ventura Theatre, 26 Chestnut St.I work with a trainer twice a week doing strength training, and I do cardio three or four times a week. * WHAT: Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories Once Blue. Sometimes people assume that I’m vulnerable in the way that artists tend to be vulnerable, and vulnerable means that people take advantage of you, and I don’t allow that. Was Dorothy Parker wrong when she said, “Men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses”? I had an image of a cat chasing its tail for the cover of the album, then called it “Tails.” But I couldn’t find the right artist, so I ended up with just the cat’s face. I don’t know about that because I can’t have a cat while I’m on tour. There’s a cat on the cover of your album. But all situations are not similar, and something makes each situation different for each person. Harry Nilsson once wrote that “if everyone was happy, there wouldn’t be any love songs.” Was he kidding? Sometimes, they explain the different ways we feel in different situations, and sometimes, we feel more than one way-maybe love, hate, fear, confusion or whatever. They’re about different things except as seen through my eyes, but not necessarily about me. They’re real good, just lyrics and chords. I can afford to, let’s see, take a vacation for a week, I went to an island in the Caribbean and stayed for a week. What can you afford now that you couldn’t afford two years ago? Also, learn all you can about the business, then don’t let it get in your way. Don’t wait to become an overnight sensation. Keep playing, start a mailing list and do the work yourself. What advice would you give to other overnight sensations in waiting? Send those tapes? The result was “Tails,” a baker’s dozen of Loeb originals in which love usually ends up considerably worse for wear than it ever did on “The Donna Reed Show.” Loeb discussed what’s what during a recent phone interview. Geffen snapped up the songwriter, who had a hit and with it a 1994 Grammy nomination, but no album. That ended in 1994 when “Stay” landed atop the Billboard charts, a first for an unsigned artist. After she graduated in 1990, they began the coffeehouse tour around New York and beyond. While a freshman literature major at Brown, Loeb began performing with her roommate. Loeb began playing piano as a kid in New York, then switched to guitar in junior high school and by high school was playing locally. ![]() Opening will be the band Once Blue, featuring another talented female singer, Rebecca Martin. “Stay,” no relation to the Maurice Williams biggie from 1960, was a surprise hit from the “Reality Bites” soundtrack in 1994, quickly ejecting Loeb from the coffeehouse circuit and plopping her into a tour bus cruising from sea to shining sea. Lisa Loeb, the little woman with the big glasses and the bigger hit will be prowling the stage at the Ventura Theatre tonight. ![]()
