Some would > argue. > > marcel OK, I have to jump in on this conversation! I happen to think that Good Friends is a great song with very good meaning. First of all, I recall Joni explaining at one point something to the effect of: people interpreting her songs to fit their own lives and what it means for them. I have a relationship with my cousin that very much fits every aspect of this song. She and I became close friends when we found out in our teens that we were both Joni fans. Every Joni concert we've gone to, we have gone together. From our teens to our forties, there have been many changes in our respective lives, kids, divorces, remarriages, some politics we agree to disagree on, and yes-- a car accident! We live an hour and a half away from each other however, every time we get together, the first words out our mouths are... I have to come and see you- Maybe once or twice a year- Secondly, from the Joni tribute, in Tony Bennett's blurb, he said something about how she considered different LP's to be different styles of art such as her "Jackson Pollack" phase. Being a visual artist, playing with many different styles and even blending some together, I can understand and accept Join's wide range of musical exploration. So call DED and WTRF her "commercial art phase". Also, Joni's mind was on Larry at the time. Seems to me she was so head over heals in love with him (enough to marry him), that she was on a major high, of course the music is going to reflect that emotion. That's just the way I've always looked at those two LP's. Thirdly, I think the most absurd song Joni ever wrote was Ray's Dad's Cadillac! What the hell is that! It doesn't fit with NRH at all! How about "Opps, I have room for one more song on this LP, what can I fill the empty space with??" My husband's comment to this song was: Ya know, Joni could write about dog shit, and began singing "dog shit in the yard" to the tune of "Ray's dad's cadillac". Anyhow, that's my two cents.

I almost forgot - I almost came apart when I walked into the Santa Monica Civic Tuesday night and realized what CD was playing over the sound system - it was Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer's "Tanglewood Tree". Dave and Tracy are a wonderful acoustic duo from Portland OR - brilliant songs and performances. They are tearing up the folk world. I've presented them three times at my concert series, more than anyone else, and (blush) they thank me in the CD liner notes. Now I wonder who it was working the benefit that had their CD? - -- ######################################################### Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA steve@psitech.com "The Tinker's Own" http://www.tinkersown.com "Southern California Dulcimer Heritage" http://members.aol.com/scdulcimer/ "The Living Tradition Concert Series" http://www.thelivingtradition.org/ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 08:30:50 -0700 From: Louis Lynch Subject: Lindsay's Big Yellow Taxi Hi all, Thanks for the MP3 link for Lindsay Buckingham's cover of Big Yellow Taxi.

So his two best friends, Daryl and Gomer, were sent for. Daryl went in and the mortician pulled back the sheet Daryl said, "Yup, he's burnt pretty bad.Roll him over." So the mortician rolled him over and Daryl looked and said, "Nope, ain't Bubba," The mortician thought that was rather strange. Then he brought Gomer in to identify the body. Gomer took a look at him and said, "Yup, he's burnt real bad, roll him over." The mortician rolled him over and Gomer looked down and said, "No, it ain't Bubba." Frustrated, the mortician finally asked,"How can you tell?" Gomer said, "Well, Bubba had two assholes." "What?" said the mortician. "Yup, everyone knew about it too. Everytime we went to town, folks would say, "Here comes Bubba with them two assholes!" - -- why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? http://www.geocities.com/tantra_apso/index.html http://www.tantra.fsbusiness.co.uk ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 16:38:25 GMT From: "Raffaele Malanga" Subject: Tribute album news from Reprise In the News section of Reprise Records web site I found this: >>>> 7/25/2000 - sonicnet Joni Mitchell Tribute Album Elton John, k.d. lang and Janet Jackson will all contribute to A Case of Joni, a tribute album to Joni Mitchell expected this winter, according to Reprise Records.

But she started out a true folkie. You've kinda been catching her latest work-- which I feel is weak in comparison to earlier efforts. My favorite album of hers is "Out of Range." Lyrically, the songs on this album just blow me away. Also, "Not a Pretty Girl" contains "32 Flavors" and "Cradle and All" which are excellent songs in so many ways. "Up Up Up Up Up Up" is also good-- but its very different. Most of this album is just jamming with her musicians. I think its great to see Ani just having a lot of fun-- jamming out. But a lot of people think that it lacks some of the merits of her other works. The songs are simpler, for the most part. I'd have to say go for "Out of Range." Especially coming from a Joni background. Please let me/us know what you decide on and how you like it. :) eric - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]On Behalf Of SCJoniGuy@aol.com Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 1:01 PM To: Joni@smoe.org Subject: NJC More Ani Okay, so far I have bought Ani DiFranco's "To The Teeth" (loved it), "Little Plastic Castle" (loved it), & "Swing Set" (love it, even though it's more of an EP.)

Mitchell Reed Can anyone tell me what Joni's relationship was with B. Mitchell Reed? I remember him when he was a dj in New York City on an a.m. station. I used to think "Rainy Night House" was about him because of the reference to "holy man on the FM radio" and because I had heard that he and Joni had some sort of relationship. I just learned from the list that the song was actually about Leonard Cohen. Sorry if this topic has come up before, but I'm curious if anyone knows how BMR was part of Joni's life. Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 13:46:31 -0700 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: B. Mitchell Reed Marksa wrote: > Can anyone tell me what Joni's relationship was with B. >Mitchell Reed? I'm curious if anyone knows how BMR was >part of Joni's life. Thanks. The best references I've found are in David Crosby's 1988 autobiography "Long Time Gone." I think it was reprinted in paperback a couple years ago. Crosby brought Joni out to L.A. to help her produce her first album "Song to a Seagull." They were also romantically involved at the time. Crosby introduced several of the L.A. music crowd to her and everyone was instantly blown away by her and her music. B. Mitchell Reed at that time (1967) was a dj on one of the most popular AM radio stations in L.A. - KFWB (now an all news and traffic report format). BMR was a friend of Crosby and as soon as he heard Joni he couldn't do enough to spread the word about her. He had a recording of the STAS album a few months before it was released and took it upon himself to play cuts off it on KFWB. The listeners became instantly enamored of her and by the time the album was officially out, it was one of the most sought after items in town. Also, prior to the release, Joni was booked to perform a few nights at the Troubadour in L.A. and all nights instantly sold out - all because of BMR's exposure of her via the radio station. You might say he was very instrumental in her early career. A few years ago I tried to obtain tapes of BMR radio programs from the era to try to get some with the early Joni content. I found a few but none of them had what I was looking for. I did find a 1967 BMR interview with Crosby that is priceless but it occurred just two weeks before he first met Joni in Florida. Kakki, remembering all those nights listening to BMR with the transistor radio up to her ear ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 17:59:06 EDT From: DreamZvil@aol.com Subject: Re: B.

How about "Opps, I have room for one more song on this LP, what can I fill the empty space with??" I've got to chime in here, kiddo. "Ray's Dad's Cadillac" is not only a fun tune, but IS A REMINISCENCE OF YOUTH, which unless I missed a vital portion of what I consider to be Joni's best effort of the 90's, is a major thread running throughout the entire songscape. To me, NRH is a bittersweet homage to youth, a reluctant acceptance of aging, and an expression of contentment...(well, about as content as someone like our wandering Joan can be).
