Compassionate intuition soars much closer to truth. I think the difference between wisdom and knowledge is important to ponder. Well......In most of my conversations I can relate the topic back to a Joni lyric and sure enough this time was no exception. "No one knows, They can never get that close..Guesses as most." I know that "Sweetbird" has been analyzed many many times but I just have to add my 2 cents. This line has been ringing in my head for DAYS now.

Just a little envious of RR for being in a car when hearing Amelia for the first time - can't think of anything more appropriate than that, other than being in a 747! I can remember when I first heard this song, too, checking out Hejira for the first time on a Saturday morning while painting in my tiny studio. Amelia comes on and everything else just stops. Of course, I'd had that experience with Joni so many times before - with I Had A King and Cactus Tree and Rainy Night House and Circle Game and Woman Of Heart And Mind and... But Amelia was something else again. Seven verses of transcendent poetry, with every beautiful turn of phrase working on so many levels - from the biographical to the universal. Joni gives voice to all the joys and harms we find along the way during the travelogues of our lives, our flights of ecstasy on those beautiful foolish arms of Icarus, ascending to the clouds or being swallowed by the sea, whichever fate chooses... Lyricist, melodicist, vocalist, guitarist, siquomb indeed... Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 10:00:35 -0500 From: "Cynthia Vickery" Subject: Happy Birthday to you!

After a lifetime working as an English teacher in my hometown's school system, Muriel Earhart ("Ma") Morrisey was in her last year of teaching when I was a sophomore in the late 60s. Mrs. Morrisey had reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 by then and was a favorite of the kids who had her for various junior- and senior-level advanced placement English courses. She was also the author of a couple of books about her famous sister, her only sibling. Although she was she was respected and beloved by generations of people who passed through the town's school system, the hooligans of sixth-period study hall were another story. And I was one of them! The study hall was held in the science amphitheater, so the rows of desks sloped upwards from Ma Morrisey's desk. (This was in the old high school; the new high school, from which I graduated, is now 31 years old -- Yikes!) Now, I don't know what's the matter with kids *these* days, but the students in this study hall were as cruel as any I've heard of since, although we were, fortunately, unarmed! And we weren't underprivileged gang members, either. At the time, my town's school system was considered one of the best, if not *the* best, in Massachusetts. A favorite prank was to sit at one of the upper desks at the rear of the amphitheater, make a paper airplane and send it sailing down to Mrs. Morrisey at the front of the room while shouting, "Here comes Amelia!" By the time the airplane crashed into the blackboard behind Mrs. Morrisey, the offending student -- always a boy -- would have his head innocently buried in a book. Even though I am known for having a dark sense of humor, I could never bring myself to be this cruel to Ma. I liked her. My contribution to the general mayhem was to use my God-given ability to sneeze on command 20 or 30 times in a row! Aside from most of the cruel Amelia stuff that happened in this class, I had some of the best laughs -- and gave some of the best performances -- of my life there. When students were caught misbehaving, Ma would get up from her desk, put her hands on her hips and croak in an old-lady voice, "Stand in the corner." My friend Frank, who is still one of my best friends, had the uncanny ability to imitate her "Stand in the corner" exactly, so he spent a lot of time in the corner before his parents put him into a private school at the end of sophomore year. Ma was a tough woman; I never saw her lose her cool, no matter how rough things got. The poor thing must have been counting the days until she was free from adolescents at last, and probably wondering, "What's the matter with kids these days . . . " I don't know whatever happened to Mrs. Morrisey, but if she is still alive she is over 100 years old now. I know at that she wrote at least one of her books about Amelia during her retirement. Every time I see a photograph of young Amelia in her aviator gear I am stuck by her resemblance to the 70-year-old woman I knew. And whenever I hear someone ask what's the matter with kids these days, I always think of what we put poor Ma through, and that there's probably nothing at all wrong with kids in any age; most of them are just naughty -- and often downright mean! -- by nature. --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 13:47:00 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Amelia NJC > Bob would never toot his own > horn, so there you have it.

Yes, it was one of my favorites back in college, 25 years ago, along with Carlos Castenada's books and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". They were very popular books at the time and I think they all had an influence on Joni. What I recall mostly about the Dancing Wu Li Masters and its description of then-current discoveries in physics is that there's no such thing as pure objectivity, that the outcome of any experiment depends on the observer. Different observer, possibly different outcome, even in controlled experiments. That realization had repercussions throughout society, as scientific discoveries usually do. Joni's lyrics often mention not truly knowing anything unless it's part of one's own experience, otherwise it's just guessing. Such "personal-ness" seems obvious to us now, but thinking back to songs of the 50s and earlier, I don't think those writers, or people in general, had such an awareness.

There's no question that Aimee got the raw end of the stick. But things often look one way on the outside while there's something different going on inside. I think the blame in this case lies squarely with Imago. She was still signed with them when the Melrose Place CD was released in '94, so they licensed the track to Warners. Geffen didn't enter the mix until sometime in '95 when the head of Imago negotiated the deal for them to take her contract and he took his sweet time doing it. I don't think that deal was closed until late '95. So the timing was out of Geffen's hands. Again, I wasn't there, but my experience has been that no label will turn its nose up at a hit. I'm sure the folks at Geffen were anxious to get that record out as soon as they could because there was momentum. They wouldn't have just sat on it. But you can't release what you don't own.
