JC ["Russell Bowden" ] Still get together Jan 13th~ Anyone else interested ["Nikki Johnson" Subject: joni reference in movies/introduction hi i picked up 2 joni references in tv movies recently: the first one was about a week ago. i got home, switched on my tv, & the credits were rolling the song playing was a cover of "twisted" and i was shocked & horrified to find that they changed the lyrics from "the idiomatic logic that went on" (i *love* that line) to "the reasoning and logic that went on" (bland, boring & doesnt quite fit(well, thats my opinion )) - perhaps they thought that people wouldnt understand it???? unfortunately i didnt get the artists name, or even the movie name - in my defence i can only invoke the classic *pink floyd defence* - "i don't know, i was very drunk at the time" the other one i caught last night. being bored while waiting for "south park" to come on, i was watching a most ridiculous *m-tv* movie called "200 cigarettes". in one of the scenes with one of the characters whining to his female friend about his love life - he made a comment along the lines of "you finally commit yourself to live with someone & a month later you're eating macrobiotic food & listening to joni mitchell" to which his friend responds that he should avoid domineering & emasculating women......... are joni women "domineering & emasculating" or are m-tv men wimps : ) i wonder.................. this from a tv station that has to put little snippets of text across the bottom of the screen while showing music videos, because a) the music is too boring to keep anyones attention and b) the average attention span of its viewers is less that the length of the average music video anyway?????????? also, it occurred to me that ive been posting to the list & never introduced myself, as i see new members doing. sorry if i breached netiquette - i dont really have much experience with lists. so heres a quick intro: i live in cape town, south africa, & have been a joni fan since the late 70's/early 80's. my first album of hers which i bought was shadows & light which i absolutely adored, and i quickly added court & spark, ladies of the canyon, hissing of the summer lawns, & wild things run free. kind of threw my friends a bit - they were all listening to punk/reggae/new wave/pop & i was listening to joni mitchell. janis joplin, jimi hendrix, joan baez (also jim croce - with all those "j"'s - could it be something to do with all the joints i was smoking at the time?) later additions were turbulent indigo (i love that album - magdalene laundries is one of my all time favourites) and taming the tiger(i havent quite got to grips with it yet - but still working on it) i kind of eased off for a long, long time, till this year. i did a quick (2 day) trip to london/hackney, (which, believe it or not, was my first ever overseas trip). while i was there i met & really hit it off with an amazing woman, & spent two wonderful evening in her company, sharing things i never ever dreamt id share with anyone - & i didnt even know her name!!! ( we were introduced, but i didnt bother to listen cause i really didnt think it would go anywhere..........) leaving her was not easy.............the flight home that night was seriously depressing at the duty free at heathrow i decided i wanted a souvenir of my trip, so i picked up a copy of "blue". when i got home the next morning i put it on & heard "this flight tonight" and it was just so appropriate.... i was gutted. it remains a very significant song for me. anyhow - it kind of re awakened my interest in joni - feeling a connection with her again - so i suppose some good came out of it. since joining the list ive picked up hejira, and ordered the shadows & light cd (my old vinyl copy is beyond repair) so anyway - happy christmas/x-mas/hannukah/eid/holiday/whatever to everyone on this list!!!!!! you guys really have something very, very special & warm going here ron ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 11:08:09 -0000 From: philipf@tinet.ie Subject: Re: Joni in Dylan book Greetings Kakki, > Ronee and Joni had been good pals in the 70s > but she apparently was not at all amused when Joni came out with the song > and went on the outs with Joni for a long time afterward.

With Red Dirt Girl, there are no comparisons to be made or preconceived notions of these songs in my head as it's the first time I'm hearing them. And the songs are even MORE powerful performed live with her great band!

Nearly 20 years ago, I met Ronee Blakely at a wrap party at the modest Venice Beach home of a then unknown film director names Wes Craven. For about one million dollars he had made a new and experimental horror film and Ronee was one of the "stars" he could grab to fit that budget. She played the mother of a teenager and was fine in the film, but the stories about her behavior on the set were the typical recountings of a needy, temperamental actress/diva who thinks she is far more important and unique than she really is. Reportedly, she wasn't too happy about playing the mother of a teenager as she thought she was too young, but it was her first offer in a long time. It was something of a big drop from the heights of starring in Nashville. To this day I still laugh when I think about her, entering my circle of friends and coming down hard on us because we were all gay. "I mean, look at you! You're the handsomest men at this party -- at all the parties -- and none of you are interested in me!" We laughed, and I did my best to, well, straighten her out, explaining that none of us had made the choice to be gay, and she shouldn't take it personally. It got somewhat heated between the two of us, one of those moments in which you realize the attention of the whole party has shifted to some conflict. To patch it up, Ronee explained that she had nothing against gay people, and her own brother was gay, but it was frustrating to be around us all the same and we should reconsider our decision (some people just don't get it). I told her how great she was in Nashville, and she licked that up like melting ice cream. Later, there was dancing. People formed a circle and entered it to dance with a battery operated wand with those hairy, fiber optic things on it that light up in different colors. I remember when Ronee entered the circle, she suggestively ran the wand over her boobs and her hips, shaking it low and skanky to the ground. She spent much more time in the circle than anyone else, hamming it up. To her credit, she also did the best dance. Months later, the film came out. It was "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET" and went on to become one of the most successful horror movies of all time. I don't believe she's had much of a career since then. - - Clark NP: garbage trucks ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 13:59:01 -0000 From: philipf@tinet.ie Subject: Re: Emmylou Harris: Gritty, harsh, ripping sound?,,, NJC > Emmylou's voice is no different from what it > was on 'Wrecking Ball'. I saw Emmylou live a few weeks ago and I noticed a harshness to her voice. But for me she's never sounded better than on Pieces Of the Sky and Elite Hotel. That's why I like Laura Cantrell so much. She's like Emmylou was then.

With a name like Malka and Joso they were unlikely to get much fame. Whatever happened to duos anyway ? There used to be loads of them - Ian And Sylvia, Zager and Evans, Tom and Jerry, Peter and Gordon (didn't one of them became Joni's manager), Bob and Earl, Don and Phil, John and Yoko, Reagan and Thatcher etc etc.The rule was that only one half had the talent and the other guy was just along for the ride. Maybe that's why they became extinct. > Not sure what > happened to her, According to the dylan book it seems she went to LA to play sort of Yoko figure to Bob and Sara.

We asked them to play a Joni song and they graciously complied with "Case of You." It was a WarmFuzzy moment when I realized most of the audience was singing along! In talking with them later they said they would prefer to play even more of Joni's music but the guys in the band were not enthusiastic about it. Naughty boys!

She took me to my first Joni concert in 1979, and came with me again in 1983. She grew apart from Joni's work and has never reembraced it, no matter how hard I have tried. One of our Christmas traditions is for everyone to bring a different source of music to the gathering. This year I brought the Divas, a cheap number I picked up at Borders. My sister brought Linda Ronstadt's Christmas collection. When the kitchen cleared she walked over and switched the CD to track 5. The clear, crisp piano wafed across the room. Sounding a bit like Christmas bells, the introduction to River almost made me cry. What a cool gift to give. Happy New Year all!

[there were no joni mitchell pictures, by the way.] so i guess what they do is they load the site with names of celebrities, and whomever you look for, you always end up getting porn [and straight porn at that!] wallyK - -----Mensaje original----- De: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]En nombre de Penny Enviado el: Viernes, 29 de Diciembre de 2000 02:39 a.m. Para: Joni list Asunto: Re: JONI on Bravo?

JC Gang, If this is old news, please forgive. Watching TV today (off work 'til next Wed.) I tune into 'Arts and Minds' on Bravo.... Fabulous footage of Our Queen, the whole Exhibition in Saskatoon. The clips from the 'Come in From the Cold' video were terrific....I guess this will be repeated on Bravo sometime this week. I was breathless for minutes Love, Russ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2000 02:29:45 -0500 From: "Nikki Johnson" Subject: Still get together Jan 13th~ Anyone else interested Ok I know we have more bay area people so I just wanted to throw this out to the list one more time!
