My Ex told me that Joni was in the top fo best albums of 2000 on this cool radio station call WXPN. I am not sure where exactly she made it on the list but they did play the entire CD. I hope she comes out with another CD real soon. Her music STILL touches my soul deeply and I understand just how painfully sad she was during the BLUE and FTR period. (Boy I can relate!!!) Those songs are so intense. She puts words together so eloquently. They ring deep!

I remember hearing about this incident the evening after it happened and yes, I found it extremely disturbing. But you know, as was mentioned earlier this year, this list is centered around Joni and her music, and it often veers off into other areas. For the most part, these other topics tend to be about happy and beautiful things, everyday life, things that bring a gleam of joy to your eye, humorous ancedotes, etc...I think I prefer it this way, as opposed to bringing up every dreadful crime that takes place. Come to think of it, I did mention "on this list" the other week that the sheriff elect of Atlanta was gunned down in front of his own home, and in my post I said how extremely disturbing it was and when I tried to figure out why something like this would take place, I found it was beyond my comprehension. No, I don't think people are so used to gun violence that it doesn't rate being mentioned. For one thing, it is so much in the media already that everybody already knows what took place. And again, this list is a reflection of the list members and I for one prefer to reflect things that are a little more positive. But remember as well, this is only an internet list, and there is probably a great deal that goes on in the minds of the list members that never finds its way onto this list. So in answer, no, I am not used to gun crime nor do I think many people are. And I still think it's Fucking Great to be Alive!!!

(I do agree that there is much of the positive and happy to discuss). However, I guess I don't agree in full. Polititcal threads, sexuality threads, to name but two have gone on and on and on - -frequently. It is obvious from what does get written that not everybody wants to be positive, and that some actually enjoy being offensive and rude, even going out to their way to do so, finding fault with the most benign posts. You may be right in that people are disturbed by this slaughter but I don't think the reasons you give for it not being mentioned hold water. i wish it did. As an aside, I am sure one of the reasons we tend to think that the world is such a bad place is because we are bomabrded by bad news! GOOD news is not news! Just imagine the difference to us if our news bulletins were full of the miracles that take place everyday? Full of the generosity and strength and courage of ordinary everyday people? we might then see a turnaround in our consciousness. it is very difficult to keep a postive mind when we are saturated with the negative all day everyday, from the news to adverts. Adverts being really quite pernicious in it's constant theme of people not being good enough. Anti ageing cream ads are just an example of the sickness we are exposed to daily. bw colin ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 10:40:34 -0600 From: "J.David Sapp" Subject: re:"a mouth like yours" i also have always thought of this song being for JT somehow but the line "i drew a map of canada with your face sketched on it twice..." makes me think its about someone from canada (Neil Young?)

Usually I'm driven to work since I have to get there so early on the weekend, but there was at least 6 inches of snow and no cars or drivers available, so I walked to the subway this morning. The sun was barely up and the snow was coming down heavily and the city was so quiet and draped and softened by all the untouched snow. And everyone I met, especially in the well-lit warm bakery on the way, was in very good spirits. I think we all felt like adventurers in a magical wonderland.

Hey folks. For those of you who are new to JMDL, welcome! I'd like to remind all that Joni has 21 official releases out on CD including "Both Sides Now". Joni's webmaster, Jim Johanson (and his predecessor, the late Wally Breese) created a special section devoted to BSN at: www.jonimitchell.com/BSNFrame.html . Some of Joni album titles are available as new premium LPs on web sites like http://acousticsounds.com/cgi-bin/Database_search/db_search.cgi. To explore Joni's visual side, try out http://www.mendel.saskatoon.sk.ca/shop/ where you may find that a very affordable poster of her recent retrospective is still available. As recently as last month, they still had the Catalog of the show "voices" available for sale too. Or you can telephone the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan at (306) 975-7616. Joni video tapes and DVDs are available, including the "Shadows and Light" concert and the "Painting With Words and Music" concert. There are books too about Joni's tunings, lyrics, a collection of reviews, and about her life. (Besides the retrospective catalog "voices" already mentioned). Amazon.com lists a bunch. Be sure to read the candid customer's reviews before your purchase. On the horizon, it's been rumored that Joni will be among the first artists immortalized on the new high resolution, low fatigue "DVD-Audio" format. A poster print sale is now on to benefit the Joni Internet community. Details are on www.jmdl.com and www.jonimitchell.com . Concert photos of Joni are available for purchase from www.jonimitchell.com . ~~~~~~~ If you would like advice before purchasing, post a question here on JMDL. There are hundreds of articulate, experienced Joni fans right here!

The Prize: Two lucky members of the JMDL will each win a copy of the Canadian magazine Elm Street featuring a lovely cover pic of Joni and Anne Bayin's reminiscences of her early friendship with Joni. (See Jim's jonimitchell.com site for a preview.) The Rules: All you have to do to enter is reply to this email and tell me your name and the name of the country you currently live in before the contest deadline of 12 midnight Pacific Standard Time, December 31, 2000. (That's the time zone on the west coast of North America--Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, etc. For purposes of this contest, the official time sent will be the time shown in the "sent" column on my Outlook Express email application.) One entry per person please. The Draw: Some time on January 1, 2001 I will copy all of your names onto little pieces of paper and divide them into two hats: one for North America (Canada and the U.S.A.) and one for all the rest of the world. Someone dear to me will draw a name from each hat and those two people will each receive a copy of Elm Street. Winners will be notified privately and on the JMDL. The Follow-up: When you are notified that you have won, you send me your snail-mail address and I mail you your prize. That's it. Not too complicated I hope.
