Leslie, a great story. I could really feel it, because I have a similar story (although not quite so cool, at least for Joni-factor). I was 17, hitchhiking with a friend from LA up to Mendocino in Northern California to try and find my hippie uncle living up in the coastal mountains. We had just spent a couple of very strange days in San Francisco looking for the Jefferson Airplane mansion and crashing in an authentic crash pad (a bunch of funky mattresses strewn around an empty apartment filled with various freaks and wanderers, some of whom ran screaming out of the place in the middle of the night high on who knows what) run by a very strange man named Luther. We left the city and hitched North on Highway 1 along the coast. A man in a small car stopped to pick us up. We still had 80 miles to go, and he was just out for a drive to cool down after fighting with his wife. He said his name was Bob, and that he was a highschool English teacher. This prompted a discussion about various poets and writers and musicians I was interested in, like Gary Snyder, The Beatles Richard Brautigan, Joni, Gregory Corso, Miles Davis, Jack Kerouac ... you know, the usual. I noticed that not only did he know a lot about the writers' writing, but he kept saying things like "Yeah, well I was talking to Brautigan a few weeks ago" and "Synder? Yeah, he's a friend of mine" etc. I also noticed that our host had one funny eye; that eye looked very familiar to me but I couldn't remember why. We rode for an hour or more, stopping at one particularly breathtaking turnout to watch the kaleidescope sunset over the Pacific ocean, just standing next to the car saying nothing for the longest moment. Finally, I got it together to tell him that he really looked familiar to me and seemed to know a lot of well known writers. He said, "My name is Bob Creeley." He was the poet Robert Creeley. A very sweet man, very down to earth. He drove us a little further, and said that normally he'd be glad to take us to our destination (another 40 miles of excruciatingly twisted road) but that Allen Ginsberg was coming over for dinner and he had to get back to Bolinas. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 07:53:11 -0600 From: Mark Domyancich Subject: Re: Joni meeting of long ago (LONG...)

It is supposed to have some of the greatest natural beauty in the nation. But then again, people are becoming less and less inclined to be tolerant of extremes in weather. My husband and I were thinking of relocating to Wyoming (we both have always felt a strong "pull" toward it, for some reason), until we found our home by the sea (we ain't going anywhere, now; this is dreamzville!). I think it's sad when the only time you hear about a place, it's the bad stuff. But bad stuff happens all over - it's no respecter of geography. And the same with good stuff! On a philosophical bent, Susan C. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 11:24:20 EST From: Dreamzvill@aol.com Subject: Re: 1998 NAS Awards Hi Kakki - Thanks for the great news on the awards presentation. My brother-in-law Paul is a BIG Brian Wilson fan - he was at the family Thanksgiving gathering (we were 24 strong!) and brought BW's Imagination CD. Great stuff! I told him about you running into Brian at the J.Webb show....

Steve, Regarding your story by Rick Scott (thank you very much, by the way), what kind of music station do you think Joni was tuning into on the radio in that beat-up Pinto? Just wonderin'... Happy Day-After-Thanksgiving everyone! Marilyn B. CC: BMFD78C ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 18:11:57 From: John Melchert Subject: Janet Maslin Man, I always knew that Janet Maslin had her knickers in a twist, but when I went back and read her "Joni Mitchell's Reckless and Shapeless "Daughter"," (re DJRD) I knew I was right. She hates blacks, outside (read, jazz) musical influences and the idea that Joni could indeed be revolutionary. She's a complete JAP with an itch she never scratched in order to be interesting. Am I wrong? You can read between the lines that she's mildly interested in Joni's real music, like the kid who just won't pet the gorilla, thus her fake. Thanks to jmdl.com for posting it: it's as hideous as her! Give me Molly O'Neill's recipes with their inherent understanding for food and its eaters, anytime!

The folks who put together the SIQUOMB t-shirt could possibly, maybe, perhaps take individual orders (of course the cost would be greater) or print the top 5 or 10 favourties??? BTW, I love the colors of the joni shirts from the concert.
