Ive always been lead to believe that Neil Youngs song Stupid Girl was directed at Joni Mitchell. Hinton, in his biography of Joni, says this is supposedly the case and Im sure Ive read it elsewhere too. Does anyone know where this story came from and is it really true? Has Neil Young actually said anywhere that she was the inspiration behind the song? Hinton says something about her lifestyle and makes the comment that verse two, with its reference to a beautiful fish floppin on the summer sand, sounds like a response to the photograph of Joni on the cover of HOSL. But didnt Zuma and HOSL come out almost at the same time in 1975, surely too close together for this to be the case? And anyway, isnt HOSL making some far from stupid comments on the affluent California lifestyle? Any thoughts? John (Sydney) - who cant imagine how anyone could ever think of Joni Mitchell as a stupid girl! __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 22:21:28 -0500 From: "cassy" Subject: Joni Shows Here are a couple of performance dates to add to the data base Les.

I will never forget walking home and all of a sudden I noticed the parking meters doing the wave on Columbus avenue and marveled "How did the City ever get them to do that". The next thing I knew a 20 foot high window exploded five feet behind me. At a time like that you know you are in the hand of God. God bless you all and I hope you and yours are well.

One gentleman was home when the earthquake started his grandfather clock swaying. When it began to fall, he ran over and caught it; he set it upright and all is well in his world again. Too bad those in India weren't so fortunate. I hope they do better with certifying new construction over there. God bless.

Which one just *annoys* you for some reason? I'll send you a list of fund names and I want you to pick one that just *ticks* you off. Okay? :) Lama This is actually two jokes in one. 1. That you could pick a fund that way and 2. That I would have anything to invest! Catherine said, An interesting irony: For weeks my husband, Tom,.has been loudly fretting about his computer set up. "What if there's an earthquake? Is my monitor going to jump off the desk?" Finally, last night, in a somewhat less than nice way, I told him "Do you know how slim the chances are of your computer being destroyed in an earthquake? Can you just leave this alone and stop the earthquake talk?" These words from my lips less than 18 hours ago. Gotta go now. I have a rather large plate of crow to prepare.

How wonderfully amazing that there does not appear to be any fatalities. After the dust settles, please let me know how this might affect our upcoming trip out there. It is not until June. I guess Sea -Tac will reopen by then LOL. Not sure that Space Needle will be too stable after that kinda shake down. Thanks again for all the great information you sent my way.

I first heard Thankyou in exactly the same film, and loved it - I think the scene it was in helped ;o) - but I was already familiar with Here With Me, from the Tv series Roswell. It took me a while to stop playing just those two tracks, and actually listen to the whole thing, and I was the same as you at first, the rest just didn't grab me. But after a few more times, it's really grown on me, and I really like it all now. So stick with it a while longer, then get back to me! Incidentally Thankyou is now the No. 1 song in NZ, and she was nominated for a Brit award too (for best British Female Solo Artist) but lost to Sonique.

Yeah, I should apologise too. Against all the odds, New Zealand won the cricket series against Pakistan last night, and I was jumping up and down a lot in celebration. I just knew that would have repercussions (not to mention reverberations). Sorry ;o)!

And on a more serious note than my previous post, I hope everyone's OK too. Having been through a very similar experience in Wellington (although there were no injuries) I know how frightening it is. One minute seems like an hour in "earthquake-time"!

Is anyone here on a Cure list or anything? I am dying to know if the B-sides from the cassette of "Standing on a Beach" will EVER be released on CD -- the CD, Staring at the Sea, only has something like 4 or 5 extra tracks, none of which are the dozen or so B-sides that were on the cassette. If I don't get "I'm Cold", "Throw Your Foot", "Mr. Pink Eyes" and "A Man inside my Mouth" on cd soon, I'm a gonna freak out. I am soooooo behind on digests since I was away for 4 or 5 days, that I am starting with the most recent and going backwards, so if I reply to really old posts, forgive me, you sweat lovable bunch of people!

Hey Mark! Darn tootin' we felt it! Funny as hell! I had my husband working with me today (I'm a drywall contractor), and when it hit he was literally in a closet, with two approx 5 ft high doorways between where he was and the way down the stairs and out of the house. I felt it starting and shouted "Earthquake - get outside!" (The house I'm working in is out in the country so nothing could have fallen on us outside.) Anyway, after giving the shout, I bolted outside not knowing how severe the thing was going to be. Six foot tall Rick makes it out about 15 seconds after me with a panicked look on his face. By then the quake was just about over down here in the Portland area. I turn on the radio in our car parked outside, because the main thing I wanted to know was where was the epicenter. Not 30 seconds after the quake was over, the KINK DJ comes on and says something like "Boy howdy - wasn't that fun!" and starts playing I Feel The Earth Move while starting to gather quake details. Rick and I start busting up laughing, not from the DJ's selection, but because Rick said he nearly knocked himself unconscience twice getting out from where he had been working and then realised he could have easily done a facial into a wall at the bottom of the stairs by taking 4 stairs at a time on way to the first story - this was after getting banged around in the small closet when we first started rattling. I know I shouldn't laugh, but his panic is sooo much of a different response that I always have to earthquakes with is "Wow, cool! An earthquake." And quickly followed by "I hope we're near the epicenter" (so damage isn't massive somewhere else.) Catherine, your post - ROTFLMAO! Thanks for everyones concern for us Pac NWers!
