(NJC) Susan wrote: " When I was a senior in high school 1975, I too used "Banquet" in a school project! I went to an all girls Catholic BUT very liberal school (I know it's kind of an oxymoron)." Susan, I don't think that a "very liberal Catholic high school" is an oxymoron at all! In fact, it describes mine perfectly. And the sisters who ran that school, which closed several years after my class graduated, are still some of the strongest women I've ever known. They've been willing to take personal risks for living their convictions, especially about social justice in American society. And the Catholic left in the U.S. sometimes seems almost invisible in the media, but it's still going strong after lo these many years. Yes, this is the church of Pope John Paul II and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger; the institution that officially declares homosexuality "intrinsically disordered" and states that women can't be priests because Jesus was male, but it's also the church of Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton, and Daniel and Philip Berrigan, and St. Francis of Assisi. The Catholic liberal traditional, which I might prefer to call the Catholic compassionate tradition, is rich and deep and still alive, even as it is reflected in a fair number of papal encyclicals, and thus, official church teaching.

Christopher said >>OK, KATE, I'LL HAVE A GO...HOW 'BOUT "WOMAN OF HEART AND MIND"?<< me: getting warmer! it is not the song I was thinking of but it does have one line in it that IS alot like the other song that I was thinking of that is about the person who allegedly Blue is about. a clue---the line Woman of Heart & Mind- "You come to me like a little boy & I give you my scorn & my praise. You think I'm like your Mother..." Connect the dots to another song with a similar line & BINGO you will know who I am talking about!

Jim wrote: >How 'bout a Beatles thread once everyone has finished with Madonna? Hi Jim- Great idea! I don't care for Madonna much at all except for a couple of tracks from the Ray of Light record. Even though I have enjoyed reading the posts regarding her. She is always causing controversy (which is always fun). I especially enjoyed Michael Y's posts on the topic and look forward to hearing his review of the new Album (which I can't get into at all yet). Needless to say i think the Beatles are still way up on my chart of "all time". I have been getting alot of alternate Beatle recordings lately and have found some really cool stuff. I got on Macster tonight for the first time tonight (believe it or not) and the second thing i searched for was Beatles (of course she was the first NO not Madonna). Speaking of which, someone posted a mp3 of Ani DiFranco tuning her guitar to an alternate tuning and talking about Joni Mitchell. It was a pretty cool little diatribe about how she toured with Dylan and the press asking her how it was touring with God. While she didn't diss Dylan, she made it really clear that she holds Joni much higher and felt the press and public did not. The wierd thing is they cut it off before she played the song she was tuning for and it sounded like such a great tuning. I did manage to download a very cool tune (Long Black Veil) performed by Dave Matthews and Emmy Lou Harris. Does anyone know the source of this recording and is it available commercially? Also Sarah MacLachlan performing Unchained Melody, which is really interesting. I also found a clip of Chris Farley interviewing McCartney on SNL, which was a really funny skit. Anyways back to the Beatles. I have received a few CDR's lately, some really cool ones are: "Lost Years", "Alternate Abbey Road", "Abbey Road Companion", "Alternate Revolver", "Alternate 2nd Album", + many more. Lots of outtakes and different versions of songs we know so well. There is a great one of Because from Abbey Road, with no instrumentation, just voices. Another cool thing is to hear the Alternate Abbey Road stuff with actual endings to the songs that segue together on side two and a different sequence to the songs. Oh yeah yeah yeah, Beatles Forever!!!!

(NJC) Hola and Aloha Dean- Great idea on the Map of the JMDL World. Please put a pin in on Destrehan, Louisiana. If you have a fuzzy black headed pin that would be appropriate. Destrehan is a little west and a tad south of New Orleans. I won a trip to your beautiful state a few years back (actually about 8.5 years ago) and we loved it there. We stayed on Maui most of the time and in Honolulu a couple of days. Cheers and welcome to the list.
