"the paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy less. we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but not our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to our life, not life to our years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but we have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We've conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. we've cleaned the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but we have less communication. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and shorter character; steep profits and shallow relationships. these are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. Days of two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes. These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet to kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the store room. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight or just hit delete........."

I'm not familiar with them - maybe got there too late in the 70s. I remember that Windrose by the beach was the only place I could stand to go disco ;-) There was another small music place on 2nd Avenue in Belmont Shores that we went to but I can't recall the name. Can't believe I missed the Joni mural! >Did you ever attend the St. Patrick's Day parade from Kelley's Bar in Naples to an Irish >bar in Seal Beach or was it vise versa. LOL - "The Irisher" in Seal Beach was an infamous dive that I never dared to enter. But one St. Patrick's Day I felt adventurous and asked 3 hunky neighbor guys to escort me in. Oooo, talk about crusty! Ancient beachrats with parrots on their shoulders, a few sailors and some other characters who looked like they hadn't left their seat in 30 years. Think I lasted about 15 minutes. In later years some of the old atmosphere was lost when the yuppie'fied Hennessey's Tavern moved in across the street but the Irisher was still hanging in last time I was there. I'm sure we crossed paths in the old days! Kakki NP: River - Naked Barbies ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 01:27:52 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: @$#%$#^&%!!!!

Also remember the "black lights" that you'd shine on psychedelic posters to make them glow? ;-) I think Joni's lyrics here are the most poetic description of "altered consciousness" I've ever read. My take is that rather than overtly condoning the use of substances like many of the songs of the era, she seems to be subtly implying it's a distraction of aging children, one which she, nonetheless, engages in ;-) Kakki NP: Twisted - Robin McElhatten ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 20:39:24 -0800 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: Washington Warning NJC Not moi, Mark, but I LIKE it.

The class is depressed and hazy eyed, its monday and we all have hang overs from Strawberry wine we had last night. All of a sudden Doctor Who's Tardis Shows up on the stage and he pulls out of the small telephone call box a BIG screen tv the professor whips out the remote and on the screen we see a beautiful blonde woman sitting on a coney island park bench all alone she was reading some poetry books one by Dylan Thomas,Ginsburg and Yeats. All of a sudden The Mystical curtain of reality folded open for the class and we were sucked right into the big screen tv and we were sharing Joni's Books and smiling at each other. Thanks Marcel I wish a book on joni's songs could be written at the level of your "throbbing light machine" post Brian - ----------------------- Free Email Service provided to you by Office.com, a service from Winstar ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 00:40:05 -0800 From: Michael Paz Subject: Sorry (NJC) Hey Everybody- Sorry I have not posted yet, but I lost a very good old friend today and I am trying to recover from the shock after such a beautiful day in my life yesterday. My friend Trisha was found by her 12 year old son today when he came home from school. She apparently died in her sleep. It is so sad for me especially since she has been on my mind the last week or so and I hadn't stopped to call her. I will be all right after while and I will write and tell you about everything yesterday. My prayers go out to Naveen (her husband) and her children and am thinking about old songs we use to sing in school at USL like When I'm 64 and trying to think of all those great times we had together.
