And what happened to the "Experience" after his death? And does that mean they were never really a "Band" to begin with? What if Joni had died after C&S? Would she be held in higher esteem today because she departed at her commercial peak? If Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, & Jimi are any indication probably so. Instead, she did not fall prey to the star-maker machinery behind the popular song and proved herself above all who had come before or since by continuing to expand her talents. And speaking of talents, REM *is* loaded...all the band members, including the departed Bill Berry, contributed songwriting talents and also are multi-instrumentalists. At least Peter Buck & Stipe have produced and developed other artists. I understand that as a very talented musician yourself, you're maybe a better judge of musical talent than I, but especially in these times where creativity and originality are not encouraged, I see REM as a band of immense talent. Thinking back to last week, John V. said that the drummer was a key element in lifting a poor band to mediocrity or a mediocre band to greatness. If this is true (and I'm not necessarily saying it is), then what does it say that REM's drummer left and they still put out a great record? Just some food for thought, thanks for the respectful debate... Bob M.

Joni herself has pointed out: "They kill people who give hope in this culture." Dr. King believed his role as a pastor was to "Comfort the Afflicted and Afflict the Comfortable". this WILL get you killed. What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore -- And then run? Does it stink like a rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over -- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. OR DOES IT EXPLODE?

I was reminded of something else that I read and want to share it with you.. Two years ago, when my son was applying to college, he was tasked with writing an essay that would include the writings of a historical figure and "how" said writing impacted the life of the applicant. Here's what he wrote: The train ride from Vienna was nice enough, munching on our picnic lunch of crusty bread, tomatoes and cheese. The large window afforded a spectacular view of the countryside as we rolled along on our way. As the train screeched to a halt the few other passengers grabbed their suitcases, packages and occasional backpack, and hurried into the lovely little village of Mauthausen. The sun was warm, and the landscape was very picturesque. I couldn't get the sound of the train rushing over the tracks from my head. “Chuk-a-chuk-a-chuk-a-chuk”. A relaxing, syncopated sound? Not today. It was an eerie and terrifying sound. I was hearing more than the sound of the train. It was the sound of screams. Young, old, rich, poor, all screaming in a horrific harmony. Thousands of voices that I couldn't get out of my mind. If only it would stop! Why didn't anyone else hear it, I wondered. Don't they know where we are? We had no accommodations arranged for our stay. As luck would have it though, the tavern facing the station advertised "Zimmer-frei” - rooms for rent. At the entrance we were greeted by the aged bar owner. "Ya, ve haf goot roomz”. He was quick to help with our bags, and recommended that we eat dinner there. "Ve serve only da best food". Later, at dinner in the tavern, we talked with the locals. The old men at the bar laughed with us. Did we know Cousin Friedrich in Cleveland or the Rheinholdt's in Toledo? Klaus wondered if we were here to join the Rhine biking tour. “It's the lahgest undt most important event in da town" he said. "It is ze event zat puts us on ze map". This was fun! That is, until they asked what we were planning to do during our visit. When they heard that we had come to see the Nazi death camp the mood changed. “Nahting to see dere", they assured us. Minutes later the party had broken up but Dad stayed to talk with Klaus. I stayed too. Klaus couldn't remember the boxcars jammed with people rolling in to the station. He also didn’t remember the files of innocent people that were marched through this two-street hamlet on their way to the camp. He, of course, couldn’t remember any of these people leaving. None did. With a population of 500, surely some must have seen; perhaps they wept in silence. Dr. King didn’t sit in silence like the people of Mauthausen. He stood up against the discrimination that he witnessed. His two biggest disappointments were the white moderates and the leadership of the white churches. These groups didn’t actively support the evils that Dr. King witnessed, but their inaction led to the same ends as giving support. They did not oppose the “law-of-the-land”, even though the order they maintained was unjust and inherently wrong. They obeyed the law of mankind instead of the law of God. What would I have done? Defied the “order" and face the punishment. Would I have prayed in the safety of my room? Courage is easy in the comfort of my room, but not so in the streets of Birmingham or Mauthausen. I boarded that Bavarian train with the conviction that I would not be silent. I now sing with those voices. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 12:30:13 EST From: Dreamzvill@aol.com Subject: Re: profiles: (vliajc) ((very little if any joni content)) and rambling Hey peoples! =) These profiles are so funny and cool....

It has been brought to my attention that during the course of this discussion someone forwarded my posts on the subject to the Van Morrison discussion list. I really wish that person would have asked me first, or at least removed my name from the post before forwarding. It is difficult enough for me to communicate my thoughts clearly to fellow JMDLers; it's nearly impossible for me to communicate with people I don't "know" and to whom I'm not even aware I'm speaking.

RR ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 14:21:15 -0500 From: Michael Yarbrough Subject: Most important American band? (NJC) If we're talking about importance (primarily being influence) and not greatness (or quality) I have to agree with Fred that the Beach Boys get the clear nod as America's most important non-jazz non-classical band. _Pet Sounds_ alone is influential enough to garner this distinction. Next most important IMO would be Parliament/Funkadelic. Their effect on R&B and soul has been huge, and hip-hop, if it had happened at all, would certainly sound very different without their influence. Not to mention their impact on non-soul rock. Velvet Underground also have to rank way up there as the first real major-label "alternative" band combined with their fusion of the worlds of rock 'n' roll with the avant-garde art scene. The Ramones fit in here somewhere, as well as the Carter Family. R.E.M. should make the top ten, I think, mostly for the incredible role they played in the mainstream acceptance of the indie-rock aesthetic. I'd also look at the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Husker Du, CSN (hey just because I'm not crazy about them doesn't mean I can't see their influence), Sly and the Family Stone, Blondie and the Ronettes. I'd probably even include the Grateful Dead; it's impossible to deny the effect the GD had on the way we look at rock concerts, or fandom as culture. And of course we can't leave out the pioneering New Kids on the Block. (Or maybe we can). And I think the Muscle Shoals band gets the nod for most important back-up band. - --Michael ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 14:24:44 -0500 (EST) From: "Gerald Notaro (LIB)" Subject: Re: Public Enemy quoting Joni? > From: Michael Yarbrough > Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 13:34:50 -0500 > > So my question is, had anyone heard the phrase "chalk mark in a > rainstorm" before Joni used it?

That's the date for the "new" album "Torched" by Michael Hedges. This was the album that Michael was working on at the time of his fatal car crash well over a year ago now. One of the highlights of "Torched" is the vocal harmony David Crosby and Graham Nash added to the song "Spring Buds". This session was contributed by Crosby and Nash as a parting gift to Michael nearly a year after his passing. Michael's long-time friend and manager Hilleary Burgess says: "The depth of emotion was palpable from the moment they walked into the studio. Over some fifteen years of mutual admiration, David and Graham had developed a deep regard for Michael, both artistically and personally, that nearly matched his own reverence for them. They'd had Michael tour with them as an opening act, contributing his guitar-playing and songwriting talents to their albums, and appear with them at numerous high- profile benefits. In turn, they sang with him on his 1990 album "Taproot". Michael often credited David for his early awakening to the idea of altered guitar tunings, and CSN's influence on him was undeniable."

I know this too is also late in regards to Michael and Van, but I happened to be perusing the Dream Theater Discussion list and by co-incidence they too were talking about music appreciation (but in regards to Yes) Here's a quote that to me sums up my feelings on the subject of: What's considered good... "Liking and respecting can be two different things! You don't have to like some band but you can respect their work" To me taste is subjective. People shouldn't need convincing in order to like an artist. I understand that Michael is looking for enlightenment and he's genuinely sincere in regards to trying but... if Van is a feel... you either feel it or you don't? Vanessa ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 23:24:09 -0500 From: "Steve Garrison" Subject: Oh, dem synchronicities. Just finishing reading my joniposts (and my richard thompson and peter mulvey posts) and listening to wrnr.com when on comes "Refuge of the Road," immediately following a Van Morrison track of some sort. Fairly or not, I find it hard to distinguish most of his stuff over the last 15 years. Since I'm already here using up bandwidth, let me recommend Richard Julian's new one, "Smash Palace." Figure this qualifies since I read something here about his performing in the upcoming NY Joni tribute. (Oh, God, now rnr is playing James McMurtry's "melinda." What a great station). Smash Palace covers an incredible musical range, is brilliantly but not obtrusively (mostly) produced, and features Richard's expressive and versatile voice, melodic gifts, funky sensibility, story=telling talents and excellent lyrics. The one that especially stays with me is "It's the danger of love that puts the beat in your heart." don't it though Steve ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 23:20:08 PST From: "Angela Takats" Subject: re:joni tribute and joni in Australia I am dying being on this list!!
