I just wanted to get some opinions here. What is Cybill's book like and should I get it? (that's probably a stupid question here, right?)
And secondly, do any of you have any of Cybill's albums? (stupid question part 2?) I listened to clips of the recent live one and really enjoyed it. Can anyone recommend one that would be good for starting off with?

Thanks!

Love Gem

1) I read her book almost twice. It's really good and hilarious, you should really read it!

2) I have her new cd "At Home With Cybill" (got it from Cybill herself hehe) The music is really great!

3) Questions are NEVER stupid.

Greets Steph

I've not got any of her CDs (though I'd like to get one), but I can tell you that her book is a brilliant read :D

Thanks Steph! I looked in town for the book yesterday but no one had it, so I shall order it online. What's the story with the CD?

Love Gem

I went to her show in London last October. Together with Tazmania and Carina (also members of this forum)

After the show we asked Cybill her bodyguard if he could ask Cybill to take a picture with us. She didn't want to do that, so he came back with a T-Shirt ("Disobedience" written on the front and her printed authograph on the side), her book "Cybill Disobedience" and her cd "At Home With Cybill". He said: "Cybill asked me to give you this". I received the cd and Taz kept the book and the T-Shirt. Carina and I received the same T-Shirt from Taz' hubby and I bought the book again. Now I have the book twice LOL.

Here is Taz' story about it: (my story is awfull)

Oh my goodness! What a fabulous story! And you all came over from Holland to see it? Oh I'd love to meet up with you guys to go and see one of her shows if she ever comes back over. I love London. Over the summer holidays I went with a friend to see Lorna Luft's (Judy Garland's daughter) show and that was amazing. We met her afterwards too and she was the nicest person.

Does Cybill tour a lot? What do you think are the chances of coming back over here?

Love Gem

This was the second time in London I think. About 2 years ago she had one too. I think she likes it in London. (me too btw)

If she's coming to London again I'm coming too! Hopefully less nervous then in October LOL

Carina came all the way from Spain. I heard her saying that to Cybill.

Carina to Cybill: We came all the way from Holland and Spain just to see you!

There was one woman in the audience who thought she came from far to see her show. She said: Cybill I came from Ireland! Will you sit on my lap please? Cybill: "Just a minute!!"

Then Taz yelled HOLLAND! And Cybill totally forgot about the other woman hahaha

Gem, the book is great. Definitely read it.

I have At Home With Cybill and Talk Memphis To Me. I like them both but I think Talk Memphis to Me just edges it as favourite

Is Talk Memphis to Me the live one? I was listening to clips of a live album on her site and really loved it - there was some really funny in between song banter. I will definately get one and see what I think.

I ordered the book from Amazon so I'll have a while to wait til that arrives. I'm really looking forward to reading it though.

Did you all see her on the Jonathon Ross show a while back? It was before I got into Moonlighting and I wasn't really paying much attention. I love Jonathon Ross so I always have his show on, but I must have been doing something else at the same time. I wish I'd watched it now. Is it online anywhere?

Love Gem

donno, I saw it. I loved the comment about her mountain boots LOLOL

Woman: Cybill why are you wearing those mountain boots?
Cybill: Because I never know when I have to climb a mountain or a man.

HAHAHA

The live album is called Live At The Cinegrill. I think it's really good but I only heard the songs online.

Hahahah - good one. She's so funny.

Yeah, that's the CD I was listening to. I think I'll order that one first. I usually prefer live albums.

Love Gem

I haven't listened to that one yet. Let us know if you enjoy it

Hi guys I thought I should drop a note in here .....
First of all Stephie.... The Spain thing was said by YOU! And remember I have it on tape hehehe
Gypsygem, if you want I can mail you some songs of the album Live at the Cinegrill (but ofcourse it's always more fun to have it. It's my favourite.)
I have all of Cybill's albums except Cole Porter and Vanilla (which I still wanna buy).
London was a dream come true! I never imagined she would pick ME to hug, dance and sit on her sofa!
I was a little disspointed that she didn't want to take a pic with us BUT.... when her bodyguard came back with CD, shirt and book and told me she wanted him to give me this, I was really glad with her gesture.
I already had the CD "At home" so I gave it to Steph, she didn't have it yet.
Shirt to Carina and I kept her book.
Her book is FAB! Go get it and you will not be able to stop reading!
Enjoy!
Greetz Taz

Taz, the sentence with SPAIN didn't came from me.
Well, anyway, that doesn't really matter.

WE SAW CYBILL UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL!

and she accepted our fanfiction ;)

Then Carina's voice has changed a lot!
Next time we meet I'll let you listen to it!
It was literally: "we came all the way from Spain and Holland to see you!"
You've got memoryloss!

No way Taz, I heard it coming from the right. That's where Carina was sitting.

Aaaaw Ask Carina LOL :D

Thanks for the offer Taz, but I just ordered live at the Cinegrill. I shall let you know if I like it, I'm sure I will. Same with the book.

Love Gem

Aaaaw Ask Carina LOL :D

Yeah let's ask her, I also asked my hubbie and he also says it's YOU!
WHaaaaaa! :crazy:

Ok you're welcome! Enjoy it!

Gr Taz

Yes Taz, but he is prejudiced (or something) :p

No I asked who's voice is this? And he said Steph!
Really honey you're having memory troubles.
And I wouldn't be so persistant if I had any doubts.

Me neither Taz, I know what I said over there ;)

maybe I just repeated what Carina said, but Carina was the one who said it first

I'm gonna drop it, not important anyway.

Well my copy of Live at the Cinegrill arrived today and was waiting for me when I got home from work. I've listened to it once and I really like it. I love the in between song banter with the audience.

Also, I found a copy of Cybill Disobedience in a second hand book shop over the weekend and just started it. It's really great - she's so honest and funny! Ijust read the bit about Elvis - can you imaine being hit on by Elvis, for goodness sake?! Also, I wanted to ask - I had though that Cybill had written it herself. What does it mean when it says that it's co-written with Aimee Lee Ball?

Love Gem

Maybe she helped her writing it?

Yeah, I guess so. I was a bit disappointed to see that she didn't write it all herself. It's a shame cause I'm sure she's more than capable. It's just that you never know who's work it really is. It shouldn't make a difference, I know. I'm just being silly. And I'm still really enjoying the book. I'm trying not to read too much at the moment so I can sit down and read it next week on my week off.

Love Gem

LOL!!!! LOL!!!!! haaaaaaaaaaaahahahaah It was me, Taz! Steph is right!!! hahahahaha :D

Gem! I LOVE "At home with Cybill" and her book is wonderful too!!

We had a TREMENDOUS time in London! I hope you can come with us next time!

Love,
Carina.

See :p

Oh! I forgot to say this: co-writing is a very common thing between people who want to do a biography book. What they do is they hire another person, a writer, and the tell everything about themselves... So the writer takes notes and all that, and, because he/she is experienced, she knows what to write and how to do it, and would be interesting to mention and what not... I don't mind co-writen books I think...

See :p

Yep! :D But maybe, like you said, you repeted it or something... :crazy:

No I didn't Carina, but I wasn't sure anymore since Taz kept saying I was the one who said it :crazy:

Oh, it wasn't a dig. I finished the book last week and I loved it. I want to read it again! It's funny how she refers to her men as 'The Producer' and 'The Costar' etc. It was a really good book, she's had a really interesting life. I honestly didn't even know who she was before I started watching ML. I mean I knew who she was, but didn't really know why she was famous.

Love Gem

I thought it was a really good sign that Cybill and Glenn were in the same room providing ML DVD commentaries last week. I guess they let bygones be bygones.

Yeah, let's hope so. Bring on the Moonlighting movie! Haven't both Cybill and Bruce said that they would do it if Glenn wrote it?

Love Gem

Jup! They did! I think they think (or at least Bruce thinks) that Glenn won't write another Moonlighting story...He should write it! :)

I was just reading the Rolling Stone article/interview with Cybill from back in the ML days at http://www2.academic.marist.edu/~jfk6/pic7text/pic7text.html and Glenn makes some nice comments about her towards the end. And there are some funny pictures of her. Nice hair Cyb.

Glad you liked it, Gem! Yes. it's a wonderful book... I loved it too! :D

We used a lot of hairspray in the 1980s :lol:

The link doesn't work for me :(

Weird, it doesn't work for me now either. They must have taken it down. I should have copied and pasted the interesting bits. Sorry about that Emma.

Love Gem

No I didn't Carina, but I wasn't sure anymore since Taz kept saying I was the one who said it :crazy:


I must be going crazy then, I have the voicerecording here remember???
I guess your Voice is the same as Steph's then Carina!!
:D

Just recently read Cybill's book (haha, so recently that I finished it like yesterday). Thought it was great to read, I really, REALLY wish I had been a fly on the wall at half the things in there :P

Same here Baron!!
