Wonderful CD. I've just read that this collaboration is coming to an end. In her latest newsletter, Lucy says "Cry Cry Cry is winding down, and we have one last show scheduled for January 2 in Boston at Sanders Theater. It'll be kind of a finale show and should be very fun but also sad. I'm really going to miss singing with Dar and Richard." Before that, Lucy will be on a solo tour of the UK, playing at The Borderline in London on 11th December. I heard the title track of her new album '10 Year Night' on the radio - sounded really good to me. I see that Ani DiFranco will also be in London that week, at the Forum on the 9th and 10th December. I've just been reading an interesting 'open' letter that she sent to 'Ms Magazine' bemoaning the fact that even they seem to have been concentrating more on her business acumen than her abilities as a 'folksinger'. http://www.columbia.edu/~marg/ani/letter.html For anyone trying to 'do it themselves', her story certainly makes encouraging reading and, as Philip said about Jane Siberry, it's great to hear of another artist who is able to make all their own artistic decisions. Even though she has had a lot of publicity in the UK, I haven't really caught up with her music yet. I'd value your opinions.

I had to write Björk's biography for the radio station in which I work, and I found an article from Q in which Björk picks 10 records from her collection. "Hejira" was the #5. Björk's comment: "When I was 13, I got into Joni Mitchell with my dad, and played it to pieces. I loved 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter' but 'Hejira' was the one. It was more acoustic. I've always found guitars a bit difficult because my dad played since I was very little, and he was a bit of a Clapton and Hendrix kind of guitarist, and I've always been critical of that, but I loved her guitar sound very much, although it's very hard to say why. With hindsight, she was one of the first women I heard who weren't completely stupid. She had her own air of independence, whereas a lot of women just wanted to play men's music. I wasn't so much into her voice, more that she had her own world, with her own elements. You definitely knew that it was Joni the second you heard her. It was very strong, but very feminine, you know? It was natural and earthy but modern as well." I felt exactly the same way when I heard "Blue" a few years ago. Björk's music is very different from Joni's, but she has "her own air of independence" and "her own world with her own elements". In that sense, I think it's more appropiate and fair to Joni to compare her to Björk than it is to compare her to Cher or Madonna. IMHO.

But a lot of people seem to think when Madonna does it she is somehow freeing us from our sexual hang-ups." It isn't sexually liberating and it doesn't free anyone from sexual hangups. It's kind of like little kids saying "poopoo kaka". I can see how someone might want to do this for the shock value, thinking that if they rub people's noses in it, they'll clue in and get over it. But IMO that rarely works - those whose noses would be rubbed in it are the last ones to get the point. I always wondered whether Madonna was trying to do a cheesy Mae West imitation (?) To her credit, I actually think Madonna has finally gotten over this now that she's a mother - at least, it appears that way, unless this is just another phase she's going through. She'll probably watch her kids like hawks once they reaching "dating" age. ;) Catherine (in Toronto) cateri@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 12:37:01 -0600 (CST) From: michael w yarbrough Subject: Re: Cher (was Joni voted top 20) NJC > Mark says :"I still haven't figured out how acting out every > het-male fantasy in the book is sexually liberating.

I am in the process of buying a house, not a simple affair. Parades of appraisers and estimators and realtors and insurance agents and termite people (who, like termites, come and go without ever really being seen). And they're all coming to a big event called "settlement." Settlement is next week, so I thought that, like weddings, I would be able to plan my own ceremony. Not so! You pay thousands of dollars and you don't even get to pick the music! I had thought I would bring my guitar and sing the "Circle Game," then maybe close the meeting by holding hands and singing Kum-Bah-Ya or something. But, what a bummer! The realtor told me that the title attorney requested that I NOT bring my guitar. What's worse, the attorney's office has no fireplace, so we won't be able to make S'Mores. The receptionist offered use of the microwave, but what the hell kind of S'Mores can you make in a microwave for crying out loud? So I offered to bring a big metal drum, but they won't let me because of some stupid ordinance about building open fires in the conference room. My attorney told me to get serious. I told her I was serious, that I wanted to have live music at my settlement. She was adamant. No guitar, no Kum-Bah-Ya, no S'Mores, no metal drum. So I asked her if I could bring a tape deck and play Joni Mitchell during settlement. "No Joni Mitchell," she said! What a Philistine! I swear, if I could afford to postpone settlement, I would find a new title attorney. It's the first time I ever heard anyone say "No Joni Mitchell." Any real estate people out there? Spread the word -- them's fighting words. No one would ever say that back in the 70s. I'm buying paint for the protest signs right after work... We're talking major grass roots action here.

This was not part of "The Arrangement". I realize that I can't get this house "For Free", but you must think I'm a "Little Green". Well, I've learned my "Lesson In Survival" and you are one "Twisted" individual. "All I Want" is "My Secret Place" with the "Two Grey Rooms" down by the "River" that doesn't need a major "Face Lift", and I can watch the "Moon At The Window". You better "Talk To Me" "Man To Man", because I have the "Urge For Going" to another realtor who wants me to buy that cute little house on "Cotton Avenue"!!! I hope this works for you Lou. If it doesn't just remember that I'm "Not To Blame" "My Best To You" Jimmy np The Jonifest Box Set - THANK YOU BOB ! >> JIMMY!!! THAT is HYSTERICAL!!!!! I am rolling, rolling rolling!!!!

But in response to your above statement, I hear it all the time here. Whenever I ask Valerie what CD's she wants to hear, "No Joni Mitchell"... And just last night, I was burning a mix CD for my son, and told him I was disappointed in his selections because there was no Joni. I asked him, "just ONE track?" His reply, "No Joni Mitchell"... Like the old song says, I don't care what Mama don't allow, I'm gonna play my Joni anyhow... Also, you were talking about "Kumbaya", which always cracks me up because when I was in the 6th grade my friend Mark told me that "Kumbaya" means "Kiss My Ass". Of course, I knew he joking but to this day I can't hear it without thinking that. And it makes for different hand motions as well when you sing it! :~D And one more thing...Also glad to hear from you, Michael Y in the windy city! Was just thinking about you last night whilst listening to The Roots!
