I couldn't tell you which one specifically as there is a range of paintings that are of jungle/African scenes. I might look up Henri Rousseau and find out for the list so there is a definitive. B) The cityscape seems to be a composite LA/New York scene with a little of the suburbs thrown in (see the wooden houses in the foreground) The suburbs feel a little like Canadian prairie to me but only from my knowledge of the rural architecture. But the trees/Skyscrapers juxtaposition certainly are suggestive of Central Park in New York. C) It has been said that it is the worst album title. I have since seen the cover used in one of those 'album covers' collection books as a good example of that type of graphic art, so I wouldn't like to suggest that RS thought it was the worst album cover. (I read it in a magazine that it was worst title, but you should never believe anything you read.) All the best Jamie Zoob you asked: > a) Does anyone know the source for the snake image?

They call it worst album title. and Mark Domyancich asks: >This has been bugging me the past couple of days. In the last verse >of ACOY, who is the woman?

It really needed a second hour, though, I thought. So much was glossed over or covered in a single sentence. That footage of Joni on stage with CSNY was actually shot during their 1974 "stadium" tour. She played a number of dates with them (as opener), two of the most auspicious being Roosevelt Raceway on Long Island and Wembly Stadium in London. She came out several times during the shows to sing an additional harmony. "Boston Jim" > Did anyone catch Legends on VH-1 last night, featuring Neil Young?

(That's when Fred is playing) Lincoln Park West, near the corner of Armitage and Clark. Fred will be playing some Joni. Fred, please play "Michael From Mountains", wouldja? I LOVE your rendition of that song! Also, I hope you bring along some CDs to sell as well! If you want to spend the day, Kurt Elling is scheduled at 1:30. I'm not familiar with his music , but Kakki raves about him. Louie Bellson is at 3:30. I forgot to mention, Judy Roberts and Jackie Allen at noon. There will also be a 1st Chicago showing of the Judith Racht Gallery presenting outsider art....Doug - any insight? For the kids: There will be an area with activities sponsored by the Lincoln ParkCultural Center and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Lot's of food from local restaurants and Plenty of MUSIC!!!! C'mon you guys from Chicago - You have to hear Fred play, if you haven't already, and if you have, then all the more reason to hear him again :~D....He's incredible!! If any of you would like to meet tomorrow, let me know!! jody ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 22:18:58 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: The Weather (and other) Channels NJC << mike seidel rocks!!!! >> Well, I have yet to ever watch TWC, but I used to live in the same apartment building with Mike when he was a local weatherman here in Greenville...he would sun himself all day so he'd have a good glow come the 6:00 newscast!

I'd agree with Kakki that you should definitely get there in time to hear Kurt Elling sing. He's a jazz vocal innovator, inspired by Mark Murphy, among others, but with a voice of his own. Don't miss Louie Bellson, either. He's not one of jazz's most respected elder statesmen/drummers/bandleaders for nothing! Is he doing a big band thing, or a small group? Either way, I'm sure it'll be a great show. I'd love to be there!

(NJC) Why Joni must tour again... or... how big of a dumb shit is (the Rev) Vince? So before Joni tours, I spend weeks at the eye doctor's trying to get my new contact lens prescription perfected, I wanted to see Joni, after all, and see the JMDLers that I was finally meeting, and see the White Sox beat Cleveland and the Cubs, while I was at it. The optometrist was almost enraged with me because I was never satisfied with the contacts. One pair, I could see the small print on a newspaper 3,000 years away but could locate my hand in front of my face. Another pair, I could read a book without reading glasses (unable to do that since I was ten) but the train would have had to be within five feet of me before I knew it was coming and would need to jump out of the way. (A sidenote: know why the spouses/partners of optometrists go insane? It is because sex becomes psychotic when it is: you like better like this, or like this? Like that, or like this other? Is this better, or that...) Anyway, he finally came up with the most wonderful of prescriptions and I gladly tested them and loved them as I could see my hand in front of my face (it was my doc about to punch me) as well as the exit sign on the highway so with near and far vision corrected, I ordered a six month supply of the lenses which I got the day I left for Chicago, putting the new lenses in... and I wasn't seeing anything well. Jody and Laura may wonder why I never wanted to get further than three feet from them and travel in their vehicle. Jeanne and Vickey might wonder why I wanted to drive in their vehicle or follow them every step of the way. Yael might wonder why I kept telling her street signs to look for. It was all in semi-double, actually. Even from my first row seat in Detroit, I saw about one and a half Joni's. For the last songs I squinted and covered one eye and saw one Joni clearly (finally) and was delighted. At the baseball games, I couldn't read the lights on the scoreboard. I had children telling me the numbers on the lineups. By the time we were in the fifth-sixth innings, all the lights on the board looked to me like the Great White Way, not a scoreboard, and I could only guess what was on it. And everytime the batter and a half hit one of the balls, I saw two balls fly out to the outfield... and once, sober mind you, I missed my mouth with the beer... (I was close though)... and I couldn't read the signs and a half on the highway but Chicago, I know where I am going so it didn't matter... So after all the aggravation, do I go back to the eye doctor and complain? Not me... until today when all my paperwork was once again doubled before my eyes. I couldn't see what I was typing, and I kept missing the right keys because I was seeing all in double. So I went to the eye doctor this afternoon. The long time assistant listened to my tale of woe and did point that seeing two Jonis was better than one... whether that was an intentional funny or not I do not know... but as she was scheduling me for an appointment in two weeks, I said, "You know, it is almost like the did my prescription backwards." And the assistant checked and guess what: they mismarked my contacts. The ones form my right eye were marked with a big "L" and the ones for the left eye with a big "R". So I switched the contacts and guess what... Those who are still reading, you must have nothing else to do and I thank you. But Joni must tour again, so I can see her in clear vision this time... she can write a song if she wants about the dumb shit who had the contact lenses in the wrong eyes and traveled all around seeing one and a half to two of everything and thus seeing nothing... As stupid as I am, and unable to figure it out on my own, I at least am enjoying clear vision tonight (and seeing on tv the Sox beat the Yankees again, five straight on this road trip, go Sox!), and wondering what type of idiot spends hundreds of dollars and hours in seeing Joni twice to actually see her in duplicate and thus never really see her... Joni, tour again now, I can see finally! I can see!
