I loved ELP's first album with "Take A Pebble" and would get shivers down my spine as Emerson did that glissando down the keyboards before the final notes. I remember I was considered a little snotty and "too progressive" for liking them. Their music was elaborate and sophisticated and threw a lot of people, because, let's face it, you couldn't' dance to it - -- it was music you sat down and listened to. Most of those bands' later albums were conceptual and linked inextricably to fantasy art work on the cover, the back, and the inside. I remember playing the first ELP album for a classical pianist who was a friend of mine and he pointed out that several of Emerson's compositions were lifted from Bartok and other composers. Recently, I listened to ELP's live version of Mussorgsky's Pictures At an Exhibition and it just didn't hold up - -- seemed silly, a little hollow. The last great album from that time was Rick Wakeman's Six Wives of Henry the 8th, much of which still sounds pretty good. What a concept though -- I remember the Hans Holbein portraits of the six wives on the back of the album and their little bios, and Rick on the front in an enormous velvet cape. Around the same time, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull was wearing cod pieces and Renaissance costumes and playing the flute perched on one leg. To me it seemed that most of the interesting stuff in the Seventies was all coming from Britain. Music in the USA was "mellow" and coming from bands like Bread, the Starland Vocal Band and singers like John Denver. It was only natural that some would see Progressive Rock as a decadent corruption and soon we had the New York Dolls in a counter movement playing a very basic rock n' roll which paved the way for the Sex Pistols and punk. Punk had its moments and paved the way for some interesting music in the Eighties, but if I had to choose between safety pins and velvet capes, I'll take the cape. My fave Saturday Night Live music moment was the first time I ever saw the B-52s. Some people had no idea what to make of them and I was stunned and amused -- they had this cheap sounding Farfisa organ, two chicks in pedal pushers and beehive hairdos dancing around like crazy, and one of them was doing monkey and baboon sounds. The lead singer could barely carry a tune and kind of honked as he sang. The lyrics were nonsense. They weren't punk, but something else completely -- they had brought FUN back to rock music. They were about as far away as you could get from my favorite English bands who were serious and mystic and lost in the darkest depths of Mordor. The second fave moment was already mentioned: Linda Ronstadt in a duet with Aaron Neville singing "But I Know I Love You" . The visual was fantastic -- tiny Linda with giant Neville. He was dressed as quite the tough guy, looking like he was on his way to a street fight, but he sang like an unsexed angel. Linda has a gorgeous voice, but Aaron was such a vocal acrobat, his elaborate improvs like some instant embroidery over the canvas of her melody. I have never forgotten that song or their performance. - - Clark ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 08:55:04 EDT From: AZJo@aol.com Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V4 #378 I've been reading the digest for several months now.

I read in the paper today that there's a new Seuss book coming out soon with his political anti-Nazi cartoons in them - I never knew he did stuff like that.>> I LOVE Dr. Seuss. I was first hooked with 'On Beyond Zebra', and when I mention this title most people look at me like I was from Mars...(well, OK, people look at me like that *anyway*! :~D) The "point" of the book is that there's a lot more to this ole world than people tell you about. "Some people stop at the Z - but NOT ME!" I truly feel like it opened up the gateway to my imagination wayyyy back when I first heard it. You can take almost any of his books and discern a much deeper truth than what is being discussed on the surface. Kinda like, oh, I don't know, JONI MITCHELL songs maybe? I recently gave a presentation on Dr. Seuss for a men's group and utilized the Web for a lot of the information. There's some very interesting trivia surrounding his work. Green Eggs & Ham, his best seller and one of the most popular books in the English language (Emily, back me up on this, will you?) was written on a bet between he and Bennett Cerf that Seuss couldn't write a book using less than 50 words. Seuss won, but Cerf never paid. And Green Eggs & Ham is truly inspirational; I use Sam I Am's approach to try and turn folks on to Joni..."So you don't like Joni's high voice, how about this version of "Summertime"? You don't like guitar, try this piano piece...and then I wait for them to say, "Say, I LIKE Joni Mitchell, Bob-I-Am!! :~) Theodore Geisel (his real name) never intended to be a writer of children's books. He was Oxford educated and returned to the States to read in the early 50's that illiteracy in children was climbing at an alarming rate. The reason, it seemed was that the writers had to comply with a pre-established list of acceptable words; their complaint was that nothing enjoyable and stimulating for children could be written with this guideline. Seuss set out to prove them wrong and The Cat in The Hat was the result. He has also published many books as Theo LeSieg which is his last name spelled backwards. He added the Dr. to his pseudonym because his Dad always wanted him to be one. I could go on but doubt that you've made it this far...did his writing and pictures affect anybody else the way it impacted me? Or do you just want to say "Robert K. Muller, WILL YOU PLEASE GO NOW!! :~) Bob NP: RLJ, "Comin' Back to Me" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 17:44:15 -0400 From: waytoblu@mindspring.com Subject: Re: NJC Dr. Seuss (long) Dr. Suess (along with Tolkien and Jim Henson) opened up the gateway to my imagination as well and has been a very big inspiration to me. The week Dr.Suess died I remember being profoundly affected...I went out and bought Six By Suess, and essentially rediscovered him. I was especially struck by the story "The Lorax" and how the little orange man disappears into the sky through a hole in the smog, never to return. I remember sitting down one day that week, and I just started writing and when I was finished I had written a song, telling the story of the Lorax. It turned out very well (songs that are written like that usually do) and I ended up performing it quite often a few years ago with a band I was in at the time. Though I haven't performed this particular song in a while I plan on recording and releasing it in the not too distant future. It still blows my mind how real all these characters seem...Loraxi, hobbits, muppets, gollums...they will always exist in my mind...

This has nothing to do with Joni, and nothing to do with music. I'm just so happy I just had to share my great news. I had mentioned to the list a few months ago that I was involved in a local organization called A.C.T. which is the Abuse Counseling and Treatment center. We are a non profit organization which provides shelter and counseling for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. In the U.S., every 6 seconds a woman is battered by her husband, boyfriend, or live-in partner. >> Jimmy, I'm so glad to hear of the success of your fundraiser! It's so great to hear about people doing things that really matter. This is such an important cause! Domestic violence not only touches women, it it also affects the lives of children profoundly. I work in social services and though I don't provide direct services to women who've been battered, many of the women I have worked with *and* their children have been victimized by domestic violence and I've heard many, many of their stories over the years. Also, many years ago I volunteered as a hotline worker at a women's shelter and intervened occasionally in crisis situations. I was really surprised as well as disillusioned by the number of women who are abused by a *female* partners. Again, I'm obviously not alone in appreciating when someone shares such meaningful news with the list. Thanks again!

Speaking of the darkest depths of Morder, EW online had a blurb about the live-action Lord of the Rings films that are now in production. It said that Liv Tyler had been cast as 'the queen of the fairies'. I sent them an email telling them I had read the trilogy several times and assured them that there was no 'queen of the fairies' in The Lord of the Rings. Indeed, I told them, there are no fairies in 'The Lord of the Rings'. So who is Liv Tyler really playing in the film?? Does anyone think they might have been referring to Galadriel? Arwen, maybe???

Maybe the library in my grade school needed updating or maybe I'm just enough older than some people on this list but I don't remember seeing 'Green Eggs & Ham' or 'The Lorax' until after I was a bit too grown up for them. The books I remember are 'McGulligut's Pool' - wonderful illustrations of fantastic fish that a boy imagines he might catch if the small pond in the title happened to have an underground link to the ocean - 'To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street' and 'Bartholomew & the Obleck'. There was another one about Bartholomew and his one hundred or 500 hats, I don't remember which. I have a friend whose name is Val Heer (pronounced hare or hair). Several years ago we were at a party and I don't remember the specific context but in reply to some remark she made I said 'Don't you dare, Val Heer!' We thought it sounded rather Dr. Seussish and so I started making up verses that always ended with 'But I say 'Don't you dare, Val Heer!'. I wrote a poem along these lines to take to her baby shower when she was pregnant and more recently I composed one for her 40th birthday. Val accompanied Travis, Melanie and myself to the Gorge in May of 98 when Mel & I made our pilgrimage to fulfill our dream of many years of finally seeing Joni in concert....

This form of abuse is very common and far too many, i.e., more than 0, children are involved. Both Gina and Colin have very accurate points. It is true that same sex couples experience some kind of partner abuse just as much as straight couples. I know of too many gay men and women who have been in a violent relationships. Unfortunately, because so many gays feel that they have to stay in the closet, whether it be due to careers or family pressures, the violence isn't reported.

You know, "I'm always runnin' behind the times ..." In the July 30 issue of Entertainment Weekly, there was an article by Ken Tucker on the recent VH-1 show, "100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll," in which our Joan was put at #5. The article, generally, speaks to the fact that any list anyone came up with is so subjective, no one will ever agree with the choices. The last paragraph reads: "Oh, and this: Joni Mitchell (No. 5) should have been rated higher, and it's maddening that with five hours to fill, the producers couldn't have shown us the full performance snippeted here of a radiant, steel-guitar-strumming Mitchell performing "California" from 1971's Blue. (And where is this clip from? We're never told.) Mitchell's sly-fox intelligence and transported bliss catch everything distinctive about women making rock & roll that this well-intentioned but bloated production cannot." Hear, hear! They also included a nice picture of her, an old one that I know I've seen but can't place. I'd peg it at 1967 or so, with her radiant big toothy smile, bangs and long hair, sitting on steps, acoustic guitar across her lap, wearing a short black skirt or dress with her legs crossed at the ankles (you can see why Chuck M. ogled her gams!) and some high-heeled shoes on. I tried to find it on Wally's web site, but didn't. Just the kind of thing that a lister needs, to not quite be able to place a Joni anything. Ugh!
