In the February 28th issue of Rolling Stone, Trish Vandiver reviews the concert, saying in part: "Joni took the stage in a stunning, low-cut, backless, red dress, her honey hair cropped to just above her breasts. She leaned, smiling, from the edge of the stage to accept a bouquet of a dozen red roses and placed them in a vase, which she kept onstage throughout the show."

Some of these recordings are available and are very interesting. Joni does "Woman of Heart & Mind", "Edith & The Kingpin", "Don't Interrupt The Sorrow", and an early version of "Coyote" where she sings the original lyric: "He's got a woman for the night and I think he wants one for the day" instead of: "He's got a woman down the hall and I think he wants me anyway". Wonder what prompted that lyric change? Plus, she joins in for the "encore" of "This Land Is Your Land" where she fudges a verse about the Vancouver Islands... << I thought the concert that I attended was in 1975? (Zincinnati) Or anybody that would know that wants to chime in.>> The concert you attended was most likely in February of 1976, her HOSL tour. Yes, she was also on the road with the LA Express for this one. Great shows, some very creative performances. Les posted an article this week about this tour, which was supposed to be her first big world tour but they pulled the plug after Joni's breakup with John Guerin.

One only needs to look at our world leaders and the elderly around us to know that this is not true. Age does not confer wisdom on any of us. I wish that it did!

That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and the US railroads were built by English expatriates. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did "they" use that gauge, then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons which used that wheel spacing. Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? The first long distance roads in Europe (and England) were built by Imperial Rome for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots first formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for (or by) Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches derives from the original specification for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Specifications and bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse's ass came up with it, you may be exactly right, because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses. Thus, we have the answer to the original question. Now the twist to the story.............. There's an interesting extension to the story about railroad gauges and horses' behinds. When we see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs might have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory had to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, the major design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a Horse's Ass! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 15:57:43 -0600 From: "mack watson-bush" Subject: janis njc Janis would be turning 59 years old this weekend. they just played some of her music on CNN.

Beofre when gets the hump about somthing that is written, one could make certain one has read it correctly. NOWHERE did i say old people were valuless or even that they are all lacking in wisdom. My point is that age does not confer wisdom. People are sentimental about both the elderly and the very young and both are treated appallingly. "To me wisdom means something else entirely tho, rather than practical knowledge. it has more to do with human nature and 'spirituality'. I have found that the elderly, however they are classed(!), are just as likely to be prejudiced, sexist, racist, homophobic and stupid as the young. That is what i meant.. that in the wisdom of life, old people are no better than the young. the only p[eople, of whatever age, that may have wisdom are those that seek it and keep their mind open. As for other types of learning, yes you are right, older people have much to offer. All the practical learning i have done about dog breeding and my knitting has come from older people that I have respect for. One of these people that i respect for his knowledge of dogs, i doo not respect for his attitude to life-he is not wise in that respect. his wife is.

Not in Europe. In Holland they were top of the bill from 1970 to 1975, when they split up after a big row between singer, flutist & keyboard player Thijs van Leer and guitarist Jan Akkerman. (Van Leer had hidden dope in Akkerman's guitar case when they went to the US to tour - Akkerman found out, exploded, finished the tour, left the band at the peak of their popularity and never spoke to Van Leer again). Focus was very suceessful for several years in the UK and Akkerman was voted "world's best guitar player" by New Musical Express, at the time a magazine of influence. Akkerman is still doing well, touring the jazz circuit and still following his musical heart - sometimes still playing like a god. Van Leer went the commercial 'please the masses' road, hit the jackpot, couldn't handle it and lost everything. Last time I saw him he was promoting a new - unsuccessful MOR album in the record department of a big store, playing the flute along with his record, being ignored and looking dishevelled. He once was a giant musical talent.
