Some of the finest of Stills' work - to my ol' ear anyway - is on the "First Boy I Loved" cut from the Judy Collins "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" LP. Sends me into other worlds every time I listen. Thinking of Stills - and CSN - I'm reminded of one of my favorite things: give great music to businesses with in-house sound systems. Earlier this year, I was doing lots of physical therapy for my injured back. The clinic had a sound system, and the people were all very nice so I gave them the first CSN CD. Later, when I was really, really injured (Mom died, my dog died......), they would put me in a little private space with deep heat on my back, turn down the lights and put on CSN. It saved me, taking me back to much sweeter times in my life. More recently, I began frequenting a cool new pasta joint in town. I gave the owner a copy of BSN and she plays it in-house all the time. She has had 2 or 3 people ask to see the cover so they can buy a copy for themselves.

O.K., thats all fine and well, but the 'what makes you think' portion of this makes me think it's stated in a nasty way, and folks, I for one must now comment on a trend I'm seeing here. First of all, the post that the above was in response to was, I thought, mainly an amusing rememberance of how channel 5 in NY used to be, not a statement of ownership over the curfew thing.Why so damned defensive? Somebody piss in your cheerios? Life's too short, buddy. This list is not up for us to berate one another or behave badly. Being large scale fans of Joni, I can say in safety that we all hold our own opinions in high regard; appreciation of this sort of 'higher art' requires a bit of brain power that I'm certain we all posses. This sort of defensive banter, however, defeats the purpose of this fine machine that we all look forward to playing with. This is, of course, all IMHO. There's nothing wrong with a good, healthy debate, but the above tone, some of the bit about KD's pants - happinees vs. sadness and the realtive quality of art produced, and especially the Hinton book issue are getting way ugly. Let us remember what brought us here. - -Chris. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

She performs and they show her backstage, but it is put together like a music video." Hmmm, that's odd....Shadows and Light did come out at that time, but I don't recall any backstage footage at all. Maybe it's a TV special of some sort I don't know about? Kinda doubt it though...tell us more about it! "I remember going to see her on the Boston Common in 1982 and she walked off the stage because she couldn't perform with people "milling around." ...she's done this more than once.

I thought she did and I have been looking everywhere for it for years, think it is out of print I also check the used book stores. Everyone tells me I don't know what I am talking about, I tend to believe them most of the time, but I am sure I read about this when she wrote it." Anything is possible. Joni has talked up quite a storm about writings of all sorts that, alas, have yet to materialize. Somewhere inbetween "Turbulent..." and "Taming..." a supposid 3 book deal was signed with a division of Random House, and the only item to surface from it is the "Complete Poems" anthology which, minus the beautiful Herb Ritts portrait on the cover, I find useless. I do know for certain that in 1970, Joni put together a homemade book called "Morning Glory on the Vine," and circulated a small batch of copies to intimate friends. Wally Breese sent me a color copy of one of it's more intriguing pages for a B-day gift a few years ago. Other than that, there's Leonore Fleisher's rather trashy but nonetheless collectable 1976 book (great pics!!!); It's called "Her life, Her Loves, Her Music" and it's out of print , but you can find copies around. Hey Michael, since your a Bostonian, e-mail me and we'll chat!

Not necessarily the most memorable lines but the best pure poetry. Tin Angel is one of the most sophisticated melodies. Try to sing this song. Ther guitar part is totally oblique to the melody. And then one day I got into the words and what she means.

I thought that because we all like Joni in various degrees that there will not be anything more than that. But I am realizing now how people you haven't met could actually speak to you in ways most people within close geographical distance cannot. Joni must have brought us here. What did she say about people coming for conversations? I would like to thank the JMDL family for the emotional support showered to me during my most confused and troubled moments when I received letters from a crazy stalker. I was touched by the posts of the Listers offering suggestions on how to deal with it, telling stories that made me remember the lullabyes that soothed me to sleep, and other kind gestures that made the adjustment if not smoother, then at least less traumatic. I would especially like to thank the kindest of individuals: Colin, Marcel, Bob, Jim, Kakki, Randy Remote, Scott, Loree (loved your stories very very much; I made a promise to myself to see you in this lifetime!), Mags, Kate and Harper Lou (had I not been a product of a very patriarchal, warrior-like family, I would have cried unabashedly while reading your posts for me). Things changed for me. It seems that people around me are overly concerned that I am safe (sometimes calling me at 3 a.m. to check if I am at home and sleeping soundly) all the time. I have never seen people work hard to make sure I am okay. This is so new. I am usually the one who makes sure my friends are okay. Not that it hasn't irritated me at times, but ultimately its the unspoken that speaks the most evocative to me. My girlfriend (currently in Canada) and I never felt closer after this incident. Strange that something like this has to happen before one realizes how much people care for you. Its morbid to contemplate this, but this demonstration of warmth and care are exactly what people do when someone dies. If this is my funeral, I am glad I am alive to see this. Like what Anne Frank said that despite all the things she went through with people, she believes that people generally are kind at heart. I couldn't agree more. As for the stalker, no identity was revealed (yet) although four days ago I found a white rose tacked outside my faculty room. Addressed to me with just a "sorry" typewritten in vellum. I don't know where it came from or who sent it, but I's like to think its making amends for the trauma this whole stalking business has caused me. And yes, I made it public. I feel close to being free again if not for my friends who appointed themselves as my body guards. I like this gesture but honestly, at the risk of sounding ungrateful, I just adore the peace and quiet when they are gone. There's nothing like being alone with my thoughts again. And to be allowed to be without anyone for a change. I read Colin's post about going gooey being surrounded by people one wouldn't have met had it not been for Joni and for being part of a nurturing family. Strange that I feel closer to you people even if I haven't seen a single one of the 600+ members. I envy the Jonifests you guys mention all the time. Being in Manila for the most part makes it even more impossible to join in one. Just the same I could feel the good vibes members have for each other. Reading individual posts is like reading a letter from a family member of her/his vacation -- in that you get excited as well for them. I'd like to convey the exact amount of thanks in me for the kindness of those who helped me, but I guess I should be glad I found the family for me who, like angels, might be unseen but overflows with love and care and would always be there for another in times of need. I felt like a loved family member.

"Amelia" is a favorite of mine, too. In my opinion, the words to "Amelia" may be the most stunningly beautiful lyrics Joni has ever written. Although I have been a fan for nearly 30 years, I never bought "Hejira" until this summer, after joining this list and feeling totally out of it about Joni's whole middle period. Now I find it hard to believe I spent so many years convinced I wouldn't like a Joni "jazz" album. But the upside is, I now get to discover "new" Joni songs decades after they were released. "Amelia" just makes me stop and take notice every time I hear it, as if to bear witness that anything a mere mortal can create could all come together so perfectly in so many ways -- like lyrically, musically and emotionally, to name a few. I think "Amelia" may be the most quintessentially "Joni" song ever. After all, Joni's also got her Martian tunings and background voices working it throughout the song (as when she sings, "The drone of flying engines, is a song so wild and free"). And her confessional (I know she hates that term) poetry has never felt more brutally honest than when she says: "Maybe I've never really loved I guess that is the truth I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitudes." I don't know any other work of art in any medium that so perfectly expresses these thoughts and feelings we all go through at some point in our lives, when we move on from love that has ended while taking a good, hard look at ourselves, our lives up to that point, and our dreams ("Dreams and false alarms"). And I bet even old W. B. Yeats Himself would stop "Slouching Toward Bethlehem" and stand up and take notice of a couple of lines like these: "Like Icarus ascending on beautiful foolish arms" Thanks, Kate, for reminding me of "Amelia" -- I think I need to go play it again! -- Bob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 01:10:06 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Re: Thanks to Jimdlers (extremely NjC), short Joseph, What a beautiful post you have given us about being relieved of your stalker.

Hello again to all my pals on the list - I haven't posted in a while. Michael, you have entered a world of unprecedented knowledge about popular (and even unpopular) music from some sweet, sharing people. I was struck by your question about a JM book and wonder if it is Joan Baez's autobiography from the 1980s that you may be thinking of - And A Voice To Sing With. The reason I ask is a friend recently confused the two artists and swore he read a Joni autobiography which turned out to be the work of Baez. He simply mixed up his Joans. I was also delighted to read about your appreciation of Linda Ronstadt's music. I recently attended the amazing Walecki benefit concert with some LA Joni tribe members. It was amazing! I hope you read some of the posts. Seeing that huge collection of virtual rock and roll legends all on one stage was thrilling. I was especially excited to see Jackson Browne (still a cutie) and, my sweetheart, Linda Ronstadt. When I was in college at the University of Arizona, I lived in an apartment that was just across a stretch of desert from Linda's parents' house. My kitchen window looked on to their house. I always knew when she was in town because these green drapes would go up around the fence so no one could look in the yard. Several times (I want to say six or seven) while I was in Tucson, Linda did these pricey little concerts (more like recitals - 300 people or so) at the U of A that were by invitation only to raise money for her parents' local charities. My boyfriend at the time worked for Linda's family in a hardware store downtown, so I was able to go to every one of them. For Free. I understand from friends still there that she still does them from time to time. Seeing her again was a trip. There's a lot more of her to see (Yikes! I guess she is really going for the Diva look), but her voice is as clear, powerful, and riveting as ever. You would have a hard time distinguishing that voice from her voice twenty years ago in Tucson. She sang Heart Like A Wheel and I had tears come to my eyes. I could listen to her for hours. As changed as she may be in appearance, she still has that sweet little schoolgirl smile. And that haunting voice.
