At the time Nixon resigned a lived in a sheep sation area of NSW, Australia.
My guess is it was a case there of who is Nixon?

Sadly, I was only 13 and couldn't convince my parents to drive from their
cottage on Burt Lake back downstate for the event. I spent the afternoon
with a good friend of mine who lives outside of DC. When she heard the
news she raced down the hill towards the lake and rang the large ship's
bell they had attached to the end of their dock. Needless to say, she is
still a democrat!
>1979: Joni performs at Pineknob in Detroit on the Shadows & Light Tour
I attended the '79 and '83 concerts, when I was old enough to drive myself!

Hello everybody-
Just a quick note from the real life files...
Last night, my son and I are in traffic coming home from the Greenville Braves
game. "Blue" is one of the CD's in rotation in the car, and 'A Case Of You'
starts playing. Nate's listening to the tune, and when she sings about drawing
a map of Canada on the back of a napkin, Nate, who has not professed as yet to
being much of a JM fan, says "I have a newfound respect for Joni Mitchell -
singer, songwriter, CARTOGRAPHER!"
I was rolling...
Enjoy the weekend!
Bob M. in Greenville SC, who is content to convert my offspring to Joni even
if it takes her map-making skills to do it

I love all these vivid memories of this time...
I'm very embarrassed to say I don't remember, and I was 24!
I think the reason is I was totally self-absorbed in my first pregnancy,
Chelsea was born that December.
I was talking to a friend about the political hulabalu in today's news and
we compared it to Nixon's crimes. Looking back, I doubt if Nixon's minions
did anything that hadn't been done many times before and since. With all
the corruption and the scrutiny that politicians have now-a-days it's
surprising that anyone decides to go into politics. Makes you wonder about
the motives of anyone who does, huh?
Bet I just opened up another huge political debate..Oh well, things have
been calm for a couple of days.. time to spice it up again.
Has anyone used that infoseek realplayer for a real time concert or event?
Speak up!
Hearing about everyone's vacations is fun! Be sure and give a report when
you get back.
I have 2 weeks off of school but will be helping my daughter and fiance
move to their new home. They've lived with me for 5 months and now I'll be
alone with my 2 cats again..Thankfully, this time she's only moving 1/2 an
hour away.

On that fateful day, I was on my way from San Diego to Bishop CA, to start my
first fulltime job.
I had to pass the San Clemente "Nixon compund" and saw waht looked like hundredsof reporters outside the gates.
I wondered what that was all about but was more concerned with my car turning
over it's first 100,000 miles, a mile or two up the road from San Clemente.
As a firm democrat and "hippie", I must say that this day was one of my most
joyous.

Subject: Nixon-NJC
Personally, I don't have much use for anyone in politics. Kennedy was a
dick who escalated the war in Vietnam, so was Johnson and so was Nixon.
Kennedy got shot he's a martyr, Nixon resigned he's not. Clinton has reaped
the benefits of a strong economy that either he was responsible or Bush or
God forsaken even Reagan. I have met what I thought were the most human of
politicians only to see them open their mouths.
And things continue to be worse then they were 30, 50 or 100 years ago.
Were more racist & less tolerant. There is more clustering communities then
there were 20 years ago and racism has changed from being black/white to
Indians, Koreans, etc.
End the end only chaos.
Peace, Craig

I had heard that Joni was having a problem with an over population of cats
around her BC home. The first 5000 CD's has a kitten taped to it.

Hey JMDL,
It's been awhile since I've posted (standard opening for all of my JMDL
posts), but I figured I would let the list know that People magazine has put
out a special edition book (thin book or thick magazine, I can't tell) called
Unforgettable Women of the Century....and right in there with Georgia O'Keeffe
and Amelia "False Alarm" Earhart is our beautiful Joni. There is a short
blurb on her accompanied with one beautiful recent colour photo and a small
black and white pic. I don't know if anyone's posted on this yet, as I've
been quite busy and have ten days' woth of posts to catch up on, but I just
got home from making this discovery and had to let you all know before I got
back to being busy again....
Also, since Karen Mc hasn't posted this yet, I want to let the list know that
on Karen's and my last meeting a couple of weeks ago, we had just come out of
a coffee shop after talking nothing but Joni this and Joni that and decided to
go into a nearby new-agey kind of shop to browse, and as soon as we walked in,
the owner of the shop coincidentally popped Hits into the CD player, and we
were greeted by "Urge for Going"...hey, that song sounds familiar....
Also, to go along with the Joni-songs-in-a-grocery-store thread which comes
and goes (marked by lovers and styles of clothes), I went into the supermarket
after work a couple of days ago to pick up some necessities, and as soon as I
walked in, "Edith and the Kingpin" came on...and it was the real thing,
too...no muzak. Ah, sweet Joni. Only your voice can make grocery shopping
bearable. The shelf-stocking boys gave me strange looks when I started to
sing along....not that it stopped me. ;)
