Livingston a hypocrite. Hardly a surprise -- bigotry and hypocrisy are always going hand in hand. Incredible -- the Republicans are so obsessed with removing Pres. Clinton from office, they even forget their American patriotism. Re: Baghdad Bombing. The U.S. and GB hardly had another choice at this point of time. All other efforts have failed, as Saddam apparently thought he'd be able to endlessly continue his provocations. The allies' credibility was at stake. One could argue that it's cynical to sacrifice human lives for maintenance of credibility, but lack of credibility also can and ultimately will result in loss of lives, as criminals and terrorists like Saddam are encouraged to go ahead with their evil plans. In ethics, all lives are equal, but in politics, leaders have a duty to protect the lives of those for whom they are responsible. Whether the US and its allies like it or not, they are responsible not only for their own citizens, but also for maintaining world peace and stability. They better live up to it, or ultimately their own citizens will have to pay the price. This has nothing to do with Clinton's sex affair. It was both necessary and inevitable.

His sister, who sings on Rufus' debut cd (a stunner) is named Martha and also a very accomplished singer/songwriter (genes is genes.) They all appear on the new cd Family. Rufus is destined for stardom if he keeps his wits about him. In the new Rolling Stone Sarah McLaughlin names him as the best new performer. His style, unique and sensual, has been dubbed "popera." And yes, I find the comparison to Jeff Buckley appropriate. Though Jeff never knew his father Tim, and Rufus is quite close to his family. You can see Rufus in the new holiday Christmas commercial playing and singing at the piano. And, oh, he is definitely a gay heart throb!

I don't like Clinton & I'm sick of it all. I think Hussein should be taken down but, I feel this bombing shit is ridiculous! Step back and look at it this way: Other than antagonizing with his cat & mouse games, Hussein has not made any moves of aggression lately. The U.S. & allies I think have enough satellites & spies & eyeballs on this guy to the point where he can't take a crap without us knowing. If there were suspicious movements, then I'd bomb the F*** out of him. Better yet, go in there & take HIM out. What B.S. about the ethics of we can't do that --it's ethical to bomb innocent people?! "They" killed Kennedy, "They" can kill Hussein too. I see this attack as nothing but pure aggression on the part of the US. If it was a republican pres. doing this...we'd be screaming for impeachment! People were upset with Bush & desert storm & Hussein HAD been aggressive. I think Clinton should be impeached for his military stupidity! That's the difference between someone who has experience in the military & one who ran away from it. Now he's wagging his dick at the whole world not just in the oval office!

I'm in Detroit...still. Were you at The Raven with Joni? I'd love to hear some stories! >> Terry hi terry, thanks! *S* no... though I did perform at the Raven in those days when Herb Cohen ran it, mostly thanks to friend Ron Coden... and while I did spend an evening or two at the Chessmate with Joni and Chuck during that rare period of time when they were still playing together, I only actually performed with her, aside from jam sessions, at the Cellar in Port Huron, birthing place of the SDS and the infamous "Port Huron Statement", where I was the "entertainment mgr."/house performer, many times on the same bill and once or twice in the same set. one song I recall performing together was her version of "San Francisco Bay Blues", complete with kazoos! (ie: "...thought I heard my baby call, the way she used to call my name, 'HEY STUPID!'..."). I had the singular pleasure of being personally taught by her how to play "Urge" (then, her favorite of all her songs) "Game", "Wizard Of Is" and one she wrote about Stephen Stills called "Just Like Me", among others, all of which became standards in my own sets from then on... she also included me in some of her songwriting sessions and one song I participated in writing was "Both Sides"... stories? oh, don't get me started! *L* perhaps sometime I can tell you the rather comical tale of how I first met Joni... then there's the one when she sent the reprise boys to sign me... and I turned them down... was I 'in love' with her? of course! it may sound trite but I have to tell you, Roberta Joan Anderson was always a tremendous person and a real star, long before the rest of the world had a clue... see, the last time I saw Joni was in Detroit in '68..." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1998 13:58:48 -0600 From: evian Subject: television (njc) > Rosie O'Donnell is the only person who > seems to have done anything good or amusing with her knowledge of every single > theme song! > Well, I have a confession to make.... I am basically a Rosie clone when it comes to television. Growing up in the 70's and 80's, the tv was always on, and I can recite themes from every damn show I watched... if you ever want the words to the Maude theme song, you know who to ask! Also, a childhood of schoolhouse rocks has taught this Canadian boy all about how a bill becomes a law in the U.S.! Like Rosie, I love all the old shows for sentimental reasons. I would kill to have Nick at Nite in Canada so I could stroll down memory lane. However, there isn't much on t.v. that I like anymore. I faithfully watch Simpsons, King of the Hill, Friends, Dharma and Greg (love that Jenna Elfman!), PO5, Oprah, My so-called Life reruns (my alltime fave show) and, yes, I like Dawson's Creek, just to pretend that my teen years were as fashionable as theirs! Also, we usually watch Martha Stewart at night, just to get a good laugh at her... more ironic comedy there than anything I have ever seen! I admire people who can give up television, but being the pop culture junkie I am, I don't think I could ever unplug it totally. I still read a book or two a week, and I think that the key for television is to try am get your priorities straight. If/when we have children, I don't think we will let them be raised in front of the t.v. as we were. At the same time, I find it interesting that people of my generation seem to share this whole history of television. Instead of actually "doing things" in our youth, we sat like zombies in front of our televisions, wondering if Rhoda and Joe would ever get back together, or if Tootie would ever get rid of the rollerskates! Anyway, it really fascinates me that the 60's generation stretched their wings and actually "lived" life, while the children of the 70's and 80's ended up making sure that we "NBC there, let's all be there!" I did end up going through a television withdrawl when I was about 13. I lived in the Fraser Valley until I was 12, where we had all the American stations. Then, when I moved to Saskatchewan, American television still hadn't made it there, so I basically was forced for a year to find something else to do with my time. However, once American t.v. was available here, it was interesting to see how quickly people became glued to the tube. Well, just had to comment on the integration of televison in pop culture. Have a good weekend, y'all!

I seem to remember that someone asked about them the other day and was told to scour the archives to find their meaning. I didn't want the huddled masses by simply asking if what I thought they meant by asking if (NJC) meant this and/or NP meant that. I didn't want to blurt out a question/statement is (NJC) meant No Joni Content and NP meant Now Playing. I just wanted to know if I was correct in my thinking. Now, according to Don, I was close. Sometiimes beating around the bush is not such a good tack, and I guess my poorly and cryptically and disquisedly (is that a word?!) worded search for confirmation was ill-advised and clumsy. So sorry. Don......Back to James Taylor...in my younger days I went to see JT in concert for 18 straight years, the best one was on Boston Common in the early 80s. My date and I flew to Boston, got a picnic basket, wine, cheese, bread, sat on the ground and listened to James sing. Damm fine event! Next day we went up to the White Mts in New Hampshire.

Joy to this world..... - -Laura Nyro It's been an odd holiday season for me. I usually try to keep a positive attitude for the holidays, keeping in mind the spirit that was the original motivation for all of it. I've been having some difficulty this year. It started with a bizarre bus accident that happened here in Seattle several weeks ago. A passenger shot a public transit driver while a city bus was crossing a high bridge. The bus went through the guard rail and over the side, damaging an apartment building on the way down. The driver died on the roof of that building, the assailant turned the gun on himself & one of the passengers also died. It was disturbing. Now we have bombs in Iraq and a Congress that apparently has no regard for the will of the American people. So keeping the holiday spirit has been a struggle. Haven't had much to say lately. Sorry to take up bandwidth with this but it sort of feels good to get it off my chest. Mark in Seattle ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1998 23:05:05 -0500 (EST) From: "Mark T.
