As I pointed out, the discussion was on the homeland security cabinet department, where Bush said that if the Dem opposed him on eliminating civil service and collective bargaining,, they were not interested in national security. The quotes from other sources that Daschle makes, from Karl Rove, etc., have long been known. Your transcript has a bunch of Republicans trying to spin Bush's words. This is a free country. Believe as you will! As I read the spin attempts that you posted, it only reinforces how shallow and feeble the spin efforts are, so I thank you for posting that link.

Yes. Judy had one son. She battled his father for custody. She was on the road supporting them all while her son's father accused her of abandoning them. Her son battled depression, drugs, and alcoholism all his life, then committed suicide just when he seemed to get his life on track. An artist friend of mine was in a private rehab center with him in the early 70's. He had painted a gorgeous Joan of Arc after Judy's recording of the L. Cohen song. I sent her a slide of it and told her he was having a bad time battling alcohol. She sent him a 3 page letter that thrilled him to this day. He still drinks, but he's still painting. Her Singing Lessons: A Memoir of Love, Loss, Hope, and Healing recounts her dealing with this tragedy. My signed copy from her is one of my "Roses dipped in sealing wax."

I'm a little behind on reading my digests, so I apologize if this has been mentioned already. I ran across a piece on the internet from people.aol.com titled: "How Keith Richards Inspired Dr. Evil". Apparently, Keith Richards has the same pinkie biting habit as Dr. Evil, confirmed by some photos in a New York gallery. As Mike Myers was touring this gallery, he ran across some images of Joni and said: "Joni Mitchell is a national treasure. These pictures should be on our Canadian currency."

Since when is CNN newscasters reps.? The link is a transcript of a CNN news story. They(reporters) where talking about Dachels comments and where his information came from. There were also quotes from demos. and reps. There is no 'spin' to this, only news reporting. As for G.W. having anything to lose, sure he does. However, so do demos. To only say G.W. and reps. have anything to lose is one sided. Both parties have jobs, careers at stake. Both parties have people who will use war to farther their privet agendas. That is why it is important to read/hear both sides. To way the total information, and not one sided quips. War should not be a political platform, it is serious. The other poll at CNN ask, "Do you believe that Iraq is connected to the Al Q.?" 79% said yes. Yes based on the intelligence information we have received. I don't want to "put a spin" on anything, I simply want ALL the information given. KaseyGet more from the Web.

That certainly sounds better than the truth, anyway. ;~) <> Maybe she didn't want to include those songs which were politically timely then. I don't know if the "fecking" line in BOBW made her decide against it. (I doubt it) I do agree that musically BOBW would have some nice orchestrated passages, replace those synths with orchestra. Impossible Dreamer might have been a good pick as well. Ethiopia would be a very powerful piece with full orchestra too. Bob NP: Neil Young, "Don't Be Denied" (Happy B-day to our Neil clone Victor!

But, yes, you are perfectly correct. Do you know the rest of the story? No, I don't. I did like the song though. Actually, River is one of the closing 3 songs on Blue, so I did highlight it without naming it. Note that Steve T's (Amelio Alamo's) reply of today also named the same three cuts. Yes you did, I guess I should read more closely:) I think many of us relate to this song. It is one of Joni's fortes to touch common ground by sharing her feelings and experience. Apropos of your anecdote, James Taylor (about whom the song was written, I believe) sang the song back to Joni 30 years later at the TNT tribute concert (which might be an interesting tape for you to view - I have shown it to a few non-fans, and it was well received). I am a James Taylor fan. Then I have a very eclectic taste in music. I like old country, Johnny Horton, Hank Sr., Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee. I also love old Motown; Smoky, Chi Lights, Bill Withers. Also Peter, Paul & Mary, John Denver, Joan Biaz, Janice Joplin, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, The Beatles.........well you get the drift. The dark writings of JM put me in the mind of Jackson Brown.

NOt that he is talented. "For Everyman" "Late for the Sky", "The Pretender", "Running on Empty" were really good records and he still writes good songs (i had purchased his last album, Looking East, when it first came out and liked 3 or 4 of the songs) yet, there is something about him that is just sort of 'Melba-Toasty' sort of cardboard like.

It seems that no matter what scheme is used to let people cast votes, the votes get called into question because people didn't understand how to cast their votes. In response to this problem the Florida Elections Commission has awarded Fisher-Price the contract to develop a "less confusing balloting system." The Commission has accepted Fisher-Price's proposed system that is based on their classic See 'n Say toys. "It's really quite simple," spokeswoman Liz Holden explained. "All you have to do is turn the pointer towards the candidate of your choice and cast your vote by pulling the string. Then the voice of the candidate comes on and says, for example, "Al Gore says, 'You have voted for me.'" The system has been successfully tested on Kindergarten children. They will next test it on the Early Bird Special crowd at a Palm Beach Denny's. Playskool was also asked to submit a proposal but their plan, based on the popular Poundin' Bedbugs toy, where a vote is cast by pounding the plastic head of the chosen candidate using a small hammer, was rejected as being "far too complex."

I love the sound of her voice and like the production. So far, I really like "Can I Walk With You" the most. Overall, I think the songs on her first album are stronger and stand out to me more individually, where as on this recording, I am not as into the songs themselves as much. I feel like she was trying really hard to create a really good followup to the first record and it just doesn't come across as subtlely. I think its great that many of her songs have really good messages, but the message ends up standing out alot more than the song in many cases. There's nothing on there quite as powerful as "Brown Skin" or "Am I Ready for Love." But she is very young and if she can get back to just focusing on writing beautiful songs then I think she will do just fine.

Reminds me of the "feel good" sound of the 70's Stevie Wonder stuff. And she released 16 tracks, pretty impressive for a follow-up. I hope she's still around to enjoy people saying "Alicia WHO?" ;~) Also out this week - Beck's "Sea Change", which I got based on the early reviews. What an interesting record! Very ethereal and moody, sounds like Nick Drake sings the Pink Floyd/Radiohead songbook or something. Have never been that into his stuff but couldn't resist this one and I like it a lot. And to top off the week's 'Hat Trick", Ryan Adam's AWESOME new one "Demolition". More drop dead gorgeous ballads, and rockers ala The Replacements. Could writing great songs really be as easy as Adams makes it seem to be? I listened to a buddy's copy, hoping to get my copy soon! ;~) So much great music - so little time!

Reminds me of the "feel good" sound of the 70's Stevie Wonder stuff. And she released 16 tracks, pretty impressive for a follow-up. I hope she's still around to enjoy people saying "Alicia WHO?" ;~) I agree...it really does remind me of that and I think she captures that feeling really well. "The One" I really like...out of all the songs it sounds remarkably like a Stevie song which I can hear in my head but I think it definately stands on its own. I guess I can't really fault her for being so enthusiastic and full of warm feelings...it really does give you a good vibe and honesty and simplicity of it I think really stands out in comparison to Alicia Keyes and others...a really interesting direction to go in. The title itself, A Voyage to India comes from a Stevie Wonder songs and like Stevie, she has a song on there about God which I think is really cool.

They were doing "Doubleplay Tuesday." Right after two great videos from Patti Smith's "Dream of Life" album, I almost fainted when I saw Joni looking great and strumming and singing "Big Yellow Taxi" from "Painting With Words and Music" (which I still haven't seen in its entirety). Then, the real shocker. A video for "Underneath the Streetlights" from Wild Things that was erroneously titled "Streetlights." It was Joni (with an '80s Debbie Harry haircut), Larry Klein (looking very very young), with band, basically making eyes at each other while they strummed and she sang. At first the vocals were out of sync with the movements of her lips. But then it got it together and made me appreciate a song I never noticed off my least favorite Joni album.

The one song that I LOVE is on his "Saturate Before Using" CD. It's called 'Song For Adam'. If you have never heard it, give it a try. It is one of his more real songs. Kasey NOt that he is talented. "For Everyman" "Late for the Sky", "The Pretender", "Running on Empty" were really good records and he still writes good songs (i had purchased his last album, Looking East, when it first came out and liked 3 or 4 of the songs) yet, there is something about him that is just sort of 'Melba-Toasty' sort of cardboard like.

Through the production work and penmanship of lead singer Eugene Record, the Chi-Lites made some rather inviting contributions to the cause of many with songs like "Yes I'm Ready," "We Are Neighbors" and the title track "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People." The former addresses the issue of school busing and integration during the late '60s and early '70s. The second selection confronts the realities of Blacks and Whites living side by side. The latter's title implies politicians and/or the powers-that-be need to relinquish some of their control and put some in the hands of the people. "Give More Power to the People" peaked at number four on the Billboard R&B charts, and "Yes I'm Ready" was never a release but is a standard among many Quiet Storm formats. As for the romance the Chi-Lites became known for, "Have You Seen Her" heads the list. The timeliness number had a two week run at number one on the Billboard R&B charts. "I Want to Pay You Back," "Love Uprising" and "You Got Me Walkin'" round out that list. The former is mellower and the other two have bouncy rhythms. All the songs on this album are polished with the group's exquisite three-part hamonies and dynamic string and horn arrangements. ~ Craig Lytle, All Music Guide http://www.artistdirect.com/store/artist/album/0,,64153,00.html (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People CHI-LITES (Eugene Record) For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people There's some people up there hoggin' everything Tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the people's money and things And if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me Yeah they seen and heard it, but never had misery There are some people who are starvin' to death Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness Oh, oh, oh, if you don't have enough to eat, how can you think of love You don't have the time to care so it's crime you're guilty of, oh yeah For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people For God's sake, why don't you give more power to the people Cut this jive and see who's got the power to kill the most When they run out of power, the world's gonna be a ghost They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler Makin' us a promise and throwin' a few more dollars There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love Up goes the price of livin', and you're right back where you was So whatever you got, just be glad you got it Now we're gonna get on up and get some more of it http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/lyrics/f/for_gods_sake_give_more_power_to_the_people.txt and Chi-Lites history: http://www.onlinetalent.com/Chilites_biography.html Vince ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2002 #395 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
