The qoute is as follows: "Songwriting is a remarkable gift, but people tend to forget that interpreting music is a talent in itself. Artists who are known for their songs often find that recording standards allows them to reveal a new side of their artistry. Rickie Lee Jones does this on her touching album of classics, Pop Pop (Geffen). And Joni Mitchell, one of our most respected pop composers, uses standards on her most-recent release, Both Sides Now (Reprise), to trace the path of a romantic affair from the initial flirtation (You're My Thrill) to the aftermath (I Wish I Were in Love Again). Both artists phrase time-honored ballads with elegance and originality as though they had been singing them their whole lives." They then had this too say about Both Sides Now: "Jazz-influenced stylings of standards, along with two of Mitchell's finest originals, are elegant against an orchestral backdrop. It is moving to hear her mature, sultry voice singing old-time standards "At Last" and "Stormy Weather" alongside her own "A Case of You". Thats the poop, just thought I would pass it on!

And yes, Smurf, there were mountains...the real kind. Next year, you're leading the trek. I have yet to gather my thoughts in a coherent fashion, and have not posted anything of substance because others are doing such a fine job of it, but each of us had our own experience of the time and many of us are left speechless by the magic (there's that word again) of the weekend we just lived. I have tried to understand what made it so very, very special, and where it came from. One thing I know for certain, it didn't come from nowhere (how's that for a double negative?) In the beginning, Les begat the JMDL, and Wally begat JoniMitchelldotcom, and it was good. And one by one the passionate ones found these sites, and crossed from one to the other, and lo it was good. Then JulieZWebb opened up her heart and home and invited people to leave their screens and keyboard and travel on down (up, over) to Pennsylvania, and lo, it was very good. But, neither Ashara nor Maggie made that trek, and they were sorrowful when they heard of the good times had by those who did. And Ashara, wise, brave, motherly Ashara said, whaddayathink? And so the first New England Jonifest was born, with the team of Chuck E., Ric, Heather and KatyfromtheCape all doing their part to make it happen, and to make Ashara feel safe in bravely opening up her heart and home to all who would come. And come they did -- some 25 strong. And each year, more would come. Some came each year, some came one year but not the next. It was about music, amazing, beautiful music. But it was about more, and with each passing year it became more and more clear that it was about community. Now we are a tribe, gathering where ever and whenever we can. We laugh, cry, fight, fall in love, support, reprimand, respect and share the joys and sorrows that life dishes out. This year built on the experiences and expectations of each of the previous years, but a few things made it even more special. Full Moon made it more special - the setting, the opportunity to all stay together (more or less), and the people who staff it. Could they have been more perfect? I think not. The marriage made it more special - that doesn't happen every day in a family, you know. I'm just waiting for the next step of our family having a baby (not you, Mags -- I heard you loud and clear!!! lol!!!!). The exponential growth of people who have found each other through JMDL and one 'fest or another and are not letting go for anything, that adds to that "bubble of love" as my colleague back at work called it (she gets it!). I was there with my beloved for the first time, so that gave me an extra measure of love, but I know that I would have felt it regardless. At dinner at Ric's the other night I asked Chuck, Ashara and Roberto for their personal highlights and they were remarkably similar. Mine? Started with the first note on Saturday night and peaked with the song circle. As a non-performer I was sitting outside the circle (not that I wouldn't have been made to feel welcome), and observed and clapped and sang (out of tune, of course) and smiled, smiled, smiled and turned to Bob Muller and said, "I am in love with every person in this room." Yes, magic. A spell was cast, and I'm still under it. I send you all my love - even though I mostly lurk, my heart is with you and I thank you for the hugs, the laughs, the songs, the smiles. My mouth is aching from the smiles and breaking from the separation.

By meeting's end, council members voted 5 to 0 to ban any future performances of Joni Mitchell's music within the town's boarders. "Enough is enough," local potter Sunshine "Sunny" Seagull declared. "It was a disgrace. I consider myself a flower child, an aging hippie or whatever, and I've been to my share of love-ins, but this was way over the top. Those people just plain scared me." "I agree," organic farmer T. Leary Freedman added. "JoniFest was so huggy-kissy, it made the original Woodstock festival look like a Ku Klux Klan rally. And the music! Heck, how many deet-deet-dee-dee-dees can one tiny hamlet take?" Council President Barbara Littlefeather was pleased with the vote. "I think we need to send a message loud and clear to Full Moon," she asserted. "One more commotion like this, and we'll turn that place into a parking lot. "We're just a little village, really. We can't be expected to handle this kind of influx of obsessed Joni Mitchell freaks flocking here from the far-flung corners of the world. Even that poor white duck over at the Full Moon pond has been swearing like a New Jersey sailor since this thing ended. For goodness sakes," Littlefeather asked, "how much darned stardust can one little village's road crews be expected to sweep up?" "I think we all feel very good and extremely empowered by this decision," tie-dye artist Om Fletcher stated. "In fact, you can be sure the whole town will be here at next week's meeting when we take up the subject of Ethel Merman." All JoniFest participants have left the area and were unavailable for comment.

I grew up in Cleveland and I remember Kucinich's time as Mayor. The future bag man for the AFL-CIO had one of the worst terms in public office I've ever personally witnessed. The city of Cleveland went into default with banks. Every kid I knew had a "Dennis the Menace" t-shirt with a caricature of the boy mayor made to look like Alfred E. Newman on the front. The resemblance was striking, still is....look at the ears: http://www.house.gov/kucinich/ http://www.dccomics.com/mad/ To say he was a laughing stock would be putting a nice turn on a nasty situation. He also shares a very unique distinction with Jerry Springer - Ohio mayors, elected young (early 30's) who turned broadcast talk show host (He did radio and local news before trying to run for office again.)

Bulldozer hits wrong house August 30, 2002 Posted: 3:51 PM EDT (1951 GMT) A bulldozer mistakenly tore a large hole in the roof of this Oliverea home. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olivera, NY (Reuters) -- A New York family's dinners were interrupted when a bulldozer tore down part of the roof of their house next to Full Moon camp as they sat inside. The bulldozer was set to demolish the entire Full Moon complex, but it rammed into the wrong house, police said Friday. Carlos Suarez and Yesenia Reyes were having dinner Thursday when the bulldozer came in through the back of their house, police spokesman Tony Rode said. It hit the rental home a second time before screaming neighbors and the couple prompted the driver to stop. "I started yelling at him, 'What the hell are you guys doing?"' Reyes told the Sun-Sentinel. Nearby Full Moon is slated to be demolished as part of an initiative by the Oliverea Town Council to eradicate all evidence of recent Joni Mitchell cultic worship. "What can you say? They screwed up. They hit the wrong house," Council President Barbara Littlefeather said. "I bet those Joni-istas gave a bad karma to our city equipment," Alcohol was not a factor in the bulldozer operator's mistake, The Joni-lastas drank Oliverea dry and trucks with new shipments of alcohol have not yet fought their way through the highways fraught with departing Joni-ettes. The city council plans to pave the entire Full Moon area and put up a parking lot, with a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot. Future development plans for the trashed Full Moon complex include a tree museum. Oliverea Fire Rescue officials estimated the damage between $5,000 and $10,000. The contractor, George Zaragozi General Contractors of Oliverea, promised to repair the roof immediately, local media said. Organic farmer T. Leary Freedman has started a collection to rebuild the wrong damaged home so the city can proceed with demolition of Full Moon. "I want every piece of ground leveled where anyone went deet-deet-dee-dee-dees. Sunshine "Sunny" Seagall, local potter, has called for John Ashcroft to investigate possible links to terrorism with the Joni Mitchell crowd. "This is America, god d*mn it, but all those Mitchcell-tistas were chanting "O, Canada..." and " I wish I had a river I could skate away on." Sounds like they have plans to infiltrate across the Canadian border in winter on one of our little unprotected waterways, maybe Finger Lakes. So I called the TIPS phone number and made a report that I hope John Ashcroft will act on!" Copyright 2002 Reuters. All rights reserved.
