You said: << Being Joni's hugest fan (snicker), I was simply unaware that others kind of like her. >> Why, yes, Jeff . . . fact is, others do "kind of like her." But the big news is, you've just discovered your *real* family, as disturbing as that may seem right now. But trust us, you'll get used to it. Just like we did. Unlike your other family, all 800 of us know all the words to "River" and are looking forward to getting together with you over the holidays just to sing it! But if we happen to be busy, you know, with the holidays and all, and if you happen to be a drifter, well then head right on over to the SCJoniGuy Fest in South Carolina. Fresh salmon frying and covers Frisbees flying whenever Muller's not looking. Trust me, there is a God. And as far as being Joni's biggest fan, you'll soon discover that size doesn't matter at all here on the JMDL. (At least that what everyone at Jonifest says during "The Circle Jerk.") << (Do you guys require capitalization of Her?) >> For Joni, no. But for a few of the regular JMDL female-centric posters, it is strongly recommended. (Hi, Susan! Hey, Alison! MG? Where are ya? Hugs, Ashara! Mmmawh, alla youse!) << And to those listed in 'Meet the Staff'...Bravos, kudos, and glad tidings I heap on you. >> Thanks, Jeff, it's nice to get kudos, etc. We usually get threats from a woman in Jersey. Long story. Anyway, I am much better looking than the photo Les has there on the site. In reality, I look a lot more like a younger, more relaxed, dreamy-eyed and poetic Matt Damon type with a taut swimmer's build! And you? Enjoy your time here. --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2002 21:51:17 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: njc a poem wow. this made me cry. My enemy is the same as me.

When I first joined and noticed NP: Dylan or Ryan Adams etc., at the end of some of the posts..I thought Hmmm, they listen to somebody else besides Joni.

Anybody else think this or just me? For me, the talk about so many artists old and new made it all even more fantastic! It's been like reading a long, ongoing book with new twists and information surfacing all the time. Better than reading the AMG All Music Guide! Then again, I am (along with Muller, Paz, Darice, Rick and many others) a charter member of the Official JMDL Music Slut chapter ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Oct 2002 01:35:10 -0400 From: dsk Subject: Re: in responds to war NJC kasey simpson wrote: > > It seems that me (or my opinions) are worse than that of Saddam.

Kasey, This is very very weird, considering you're the one that started with the sarcastic remarks and insulting people's actions and beliefs when people didn't automatically agree with you. So, do YOU want an intellectual debate? There's no proof that you do. People asked you questions in the recent posts in order to learn more about your view and better understand some of the general statements you've made, and your only response is this tirade. Has anyone told you NOT to support Bush? What in the world has made you this angry? Debra Shea ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2002 23:01:03 -0700 From: "jeff t." Subject: Hayseed Affectations I am touched by the outpouring. Sally Field comes to mind. So in no particular order and with the understanding I am fearful of electronic errors of etiquette... Do you suppose, Vince, that I have enough time on my hands to hunt down any ol' arcane reference? Well I don't. But I did. Twelve articles later and I'm newly versed in one apocryphal tale. McCarthyism, evangelism, and moralism...whoa! It sure was easy to keep the kids in line at soccer practice today, thanks to you. And Bob(scjoni guy), I need to can your ass as head detective. I cannot be flushed so easily, for a few hours is all it takes to rove aimlessly through the archives where an actual link, bold as Britney at a boy's bash, beckoned me to the afore-mentioned Electricity Thread. Lurker indeed. For dessert I sampled some of Sweet Bird, same location. But here I toss you a bone, or a rose, or a hatchet to bury, for I AM familiar with the official JM site. I even sent an e-mail once upon a time for they lacked the David Baerwald/teasing back vocal connection. I do my part. However, this place smells differently and maybe I avoided it for fear of losing intimacy. Aw hell, I'm no better than the man who owns a store... So thanks also to you, Lori, for compiling two of those threads. I began 'Mother's Day' but regretfully quit early to extinguish a kitchen fire. I still need to re-read your message though for I swear it lacked any trace of sarcasm. Sarcasm. Now that's a funny concept, huh Bob (murphycop)? Or do I call you Master Damon? I am eager to experience a gathering such as the very one you described. Salmon, frisbees, circle-jerks, and a lacing of fem-centrics...Who could offer me more...? I do owe a note of apology to Catherine cause I may have misled her. Hell, I flat out lied. I of course knew there were others, but as I fumbled to explain above, it wasn't easy acknowledging your collective presence. I want to be the only one to end a conversation with a near stranger by cryptically smiling and uttering "No Regrets Coyote." Oh you should see the mailman's face. Which lastly brings me to you Cynthia. I am not an addict. I can quit anytime I want. But I guess my real 'healthy appreciation' of Joan came the first time I heard Diamonds In the Rust. Choked me up. (Wink wink) I need time for that question, please. You guys are great, I think, so thanks.
