I LOVE the CCrows! A few weeks ago they were in town but unfortunately they were here the same night as Jethro Tull, a concert I had already agreed to attend w/ my husband. My 17 yr old daughter went to the Crows concert and the first thing she said to me upon her return was, "Mom, you'll be so sorry you weren't there when you hear what they played! 'Big Yellow Taxi'!!" I had the same thought as Sybil re her son, maybe NOW she'll 'get it' and stop rolling her eyes whenever I mention Joni. I intend to show her Adam's piece on Joni.

I have just found out today that in April 2002 a German Joni jazz tribute CD was released. The CD is titled "Places To Come From, Places to Go", and it's by The Steve Klink Trio. Of the 15 (!) tracks on the CD, 10 are instrumentals, and 5 feature Steve's new wife Mia on vocals. Mia herself is not new to the Joni cover world, having done "Dry Cleaner" & "Little Green" on previous solo CD's. I've been in conversation with Steve, and he's sending me copies of Mia's solo stuff as well as the new tribute disc. Get a load of what's here: 1. Ray's Dad's cadillac 2. That song about the midway 3. Cotton Avenue 4. Big yellow taxi 5. A case of you 6. Night ride home 7. Blue motel room 8. You turn me on I'm a radio 9. Night in the city 10. Both sides, now 11. Woman of heart and mind 12. Sweet bird 13. Cactus tree 14. California 15. The gallery Can you BELIEVE that line-up?!? Several of these have NEVER been covered before, and some others like WOHAM & California only have 1 to their credit, so I'm chompin' at the bit to hear these! The cd is currently available at amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000636EQ/ref=ase_rondo/028-0379244-4107732 I'm going to look into seeing if I can get a "group rate" for those of us in the US who want a copy and get Steve to ship me a boxload to distribute to those who are interested. NONE of these tracks ( except the Mia solo stuff) will be included in the covers project. I'll spill the details as I work them out with Steve. Can't wait!

Nice hook, (Cherokee?) Louise! - -Julius Bush can give a hand up to Putin By Louise Branson Remember those lines from Joni Mitchell's 1970s song, Blue Motel Room: "You and me, we're like America and Russia, we're always keeping score, we're always balancing the power, and that can get to be a cold, cold war"? The lyrics definitely need updating. As President Bush heads today for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he should take the lead in shaping them. Not that the leaders need to "hold ourselves a peace talk in some neutral cafe." They're already comfortable on each other's territory. Putin visited Bush's Texas ranch in November. He will now show Bush around Moscow and his native St. Petersburg. A core problem, though, remains. The Soviet Union collapsed more than a decade ago, but the ghosts and mind-set of the Cold War linger. Russia's establishment, in particular, has found it hard to accept its diminished status. Bush and Putin have quietly formed a pragmatic partnership. Bush once said America and Russia shouldn't be dependent on the relationship between the two leaders, as he felt it was under Bill Clinton. He should revise that assessment. His relationship with Putin is fast becoming an engine for potentially dramatic changes. The first, most visible evidence will come at the summit. The two will sign an agreement deeply cutting nuclear weapons b from some 6,000 warheads to between 1,700 and 2,200 each. This, Bush announced, would "liquidate the legacy of the Cold War." In fact, Bush had not wanted a formal agreement, preferring a gentleman's handshake on a verbal accord. But he did Putin this face-saving favor (even though the agreement, only three pages long, is seen by many experts as laughably lacking in detail). The reason: Putin is on a risky course. He has begun taking Russia in a new direction on the world stage: staking Russia's success and security on Western integration b economic, military and political. But he is doing so with a comparatively small circle of enlightened advisers, plus going against the country's instinctual Cold War grain. Bush needs to help and nudge Putin, and Russia, further on this track. Bush can already take much credit for this new direction b beginning with early in his presidency, when he refused to be intimidated by Putin, a shrewd former KGB officer. That includes Putin's moves to form an alliance with China and to create international momentum against the American pullout from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Putin's new pragmatism emerged with force only after Sept. 11, as he took the decision to give strategic, intelligence and other aid to the United States in the war on terrorism in Afghanistan. In part, this was because of the stark choice the United States gave the world: You are with us or against us. The nuclear-weapons agreement is an important moment. But two other issues could prove more significant: NATO and oil. First, NATO. A few days after the Bush-Putin summit, both will attend the new session of the first NATO-Russia council, being referred to as the "19+1" arrangement. It will give Russia a real say in NATO decisions, a first move toward possibly joining the alliance. That is a breathtaking step, having Moscow in this new arrangement with NATO, which was formed to combat Moscow's growing menace. But in addition, the three formerly Soviet Baltic states, as well as Slovenia and Slovakia, could be invited to join NATO in November, along with Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and others. Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are already in. A senior NATO official said this meant the Cold War was now "kaput." But that assessment is premature. In fact, it's only a beginning. The real work is ahead. NATO's effectiveness has been diluted with so many new members. It needs to firmly define its new raison d'etre as fighting terrorism and create standards and procedures that make it the kind of civilizing "club" the European Union has proved to be. Bush should take the lead in giving NATO new meaning and bringing Russia properly into its fold. Oil, the other long-term issue, is perhaps the most important question mark now looming over the Russia-America relationship. It has become more urgent in recent weeks because of the Middle East crisis, which has underscored America's reliance on OPEC and particularly Saudi Arabia. A possible oil partnership could quite literally transform U.S.-Russia relations into a solid partnership lashed with business ties. The bottom line: Russia has huge reserves of oil, and the USA would like to tap into them. It is far from a perfect match. Among the many potential pitfalls: transportation difficulties, Russia's continuing economic mess and the bad experiences of American businesses that invested in Russia in the 1990s. Still, the idea is far more probable today. If Russia's economy were eventually stabilized and underpinned by wealth from properly managed oil sales, Russia could in time join other clubs such as the World Trade Organization, as China has just done. Perhaps even, in the distant future, it could join the European Union, an economic organization many Russians view as more of a threat than NATO. Bush's goal should be clear: to create a stable and allied Russia within the Western fold. That would be the real happy ending to an updated Blue Motel Room. For now, though, the lyrics will have to focus on the search for that happy ending b and the hopeful signs that one may be in sight.

I think people somehow assume it's about Mick just because he's singing backup, and because lines like "you had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte" sound more like they're about Mick than Warren. But I'm pretty sure it was written for Warren . . . although there was a time, many hairs ago, when I was so vain I probably thought this song was about me!

It's so good to see you're still kicking, Sweetie. The next time you're on this side of the pond you really must drop by for a joint & some Stoli's, Sweetie Darling. Patsy will be absolutely thrilled to hear from you, Sweetie but right now I have to go pull her head out of the loo. She passed out in there again, you know how she is, Darling but she'll be alright once she's conscious and has a fag to smoke Sweetie. I just prop her up and stick one in her mouth & she's right as rain, Sweetie Darling. May have to get Saffy to help though, Darling, if I can find the wretched little lump! Well anyway, like I said Sweetie, it's fabulous to hear you're still breathing and do write again soon, Sweetie Darling!

That's right Sweetie, Lulu! She's right here in the office with me! You remember Lulu, don't you, Sweetie Darling? You know, Sweetie! She sang that song about 'telling tales & biting nails' and something about 'Sir'...well that must have been a B & D thing mustn't it, Sweetie? I always thought she was a kinky little thing. But she's my client now, Sweetie! So if you ever feel like you might want to get a comeback going over here, Sweetie, you know they remember you on the Continent! Oh yes, Sweetie, the Germans are dying to hear more from you, Darling so just say the word and I'll get you back on top again, Sweetie Darling. You'll be a star again, Darling, I guarantee it!

For going to all the trouble to find that. Not to spread more rumours, but I've always imagined that "Coyote" was at least partially about Neil Young. Maybe I saw this in the line that goes : "......while your up early on your ranch. You'll be brushing out a brood mare's tail, while the sun is ascending......" knowing that Neil has a ranch. Not that I want to gossip, but I have a sort of runaway imagination, and I like to look for patterns and connect the dots. Especially, when you find references from other artists from the same time period and can put a picture together. I just used to imagine that Joni purposely stuck that line "my vain darling" in her song to reference the same person in Carly's song. It seems so fitting, but we may never know. Thanks for everyone's insights and for sharing those additional lyrics from Carly and James!

Until earlier this week the tape has played fine, but now for some unexplainable reason, now on the songs Night Ride Home and The Crazy Cries Of Love, I now have what I can only describe as a popping sound on each track that's just quick! It just sounds and then no more! How could it have happened? Can I clean it in any way...Like I said, these sounds were deffinitly not there when I bought it originally! Anyone have any suggestions! I don't want to have to pay another $20 to replace it you know? Any thought anyone on the list has would be great! This is a very frustrating situation! Thanks a lot, The rest of the tape is fine, but it pains me to think I'd have to live with it especially when I don't know where it came from! Can this weird kind of thing sometimes happen with videos especially when they're ones you play a lot? Basically, what I'm saying here is that I don't like these new sounds, and I want to get rid of them without buying another copy! Any way to do that? Josh P.s. Ken, if you get this email as well, could you reply with your thoughts! Your real knoledgable! Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 May 2002 23:05:56 EDT From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni and Carly "Warren Beatty" question NJC My Old Smurphy Man writes: > I remember hearing that it was about Warren when it first came out, but over > the years I have heard a lot of people say they thought it was about Mick. > I think people somehow assume it's about Mick just because he's singing > backup, and because lines like "you had one eye in the mirror as you > watched yourself gavotte" sound more like they're about Mick than Warren. > But I'm pretty sure it was written for Warren . In Janet Jackson's last album where she sings the duet with Carly "Son of A Gun" (I Bet you think this song is about you) .......I've played this over and over, and this is what it sounds like Carly says: "Clouds are various shapes and sizes, Most guys like to evaluate their prizes. We come with so many different tricks, The apricot scarf is worn by Mick. Nothing in the words refer to Mick." I can't tell for sure, but the 4th line almost sounds like she's saying "Nick", but who would Nick be? but I digress, as my friend Colin said "that fucking song was 30 years ago ...give the bitch a break...she isn't telling...for 30 years that is the question she always gets asked and she is so polite and deosn't answer....me...i'd say get a life ...mind your own fucking business..."
