Just picked up Tango Zero Hour by Aator Piazolla on Nonesuch. In the disc 
booklet Horacio Malvincino says that Astor was Disenchanted with the big 
labels,he felt they had not treated him with respect.
On an even more Common subject Just heard Barbara and Barry's latest Duet 
they probably get more r-e-s-p-e-c-t because of more $ale$.
Now thats a thought for Joni's next CD duets with Bob,David,Leonard, Jeff 
Bisch,Gregg Cagno.Michael Paz and do not forget Bob Muller.

I can't actually remember when I discovered these guys, and I only have one
album on vinyl - Mars Needs Guitars.  But there are some other great songs
besides Bittersweet.  Like Poison Pen, Death Defying, Like Wow - Wipeout.

They have a greatest hits double CD as well - Ampology - which I've
considered getting, but after hearing your comments, maybe I'll just stick
to what I've got!

Subject: when all the slaves are free

Did none of our Canadian JMDLers  catch this show?  I'd love to hear a report.

"When All the Slaves Are Free:  The Words and Music of Joni Mitchell" 
finished a critically acclaimed and well-attended run at Ottawa's Great 
Canadian Theatre Company earlier this month. The revue was created and 
directed by Bryden Macdonald, who also wrote and directed similar 
productions based on the work of Leonard Cohen and Carole Pope. Backed by 
jazz piano, percussion and bass, singers Elizabeth Beeler, Susan Henley and 
Mary Kelly took audiences on a theatrical journey through Joni's three-plus 
decades of work, performing 13 of her songs including "The Circle Game," 
"Big Yellow Taxi," "Both Sides Now," "Passion Play (When All the Slaves Are 
Free)," "Cherokee Louise" and "Hejira." The show ran from September 12 
until October 5, and was sold out nearly every night

These are some of my fave "goosebump songs" in no order :)

1-Joni-Night in the City (especially while in nyc)
     b. Strange Boy (because i've known plenty of those)

2-Tori Amos-Sugar(live on to Venus and Back)

3-Cyndi Lauper-I Drove All Night-One intense song from ine intense lady.. my girls got vocal chops to spare!

4-Judy Garland-The Man that Got Away--Snicker if you must but I bet im not the only person on this list that hasent lamented over someone with this one...(I reccomend the live at carnegie hall version WOW)

5-Sarah McLachlan-Plenty...gets me everytime

6-Paula Cole-Pearl (off of her undervalued second cd Amen the title track also is amazing)

7-Mamma Cass-Make Your own Kinda Music..Almost an anthem for my life 

8-Bob Dylan-Dont Think Twice Its Alright..enough said

9-John Lennon-Beautiful Boy--The line "i can hardly wait to see you come of age" always brings me to the brink

10-Queen-Those were the Days Of Our Lives--Just thinkin about Freddie writing such an amazing song right before his death plus his vocals are still powerful as heck even in his condition

11--Cher-Take me home-Ok im pushin it but no matter where i am this song drives me nuts its like i cant fight the rythm 


ok thats enough you know its late when i put Take me home on the songs that make me shiver list bt its 545 am and im at work so im excused hope you all are doin fine and dandy i wish you all peace and love******kevin******

Subject: Fw: those songs you really just HATE (njc)

There aren't to many songs I hate, a few I get tired of
because of over play.

The Streak-Ray Stevens....ok funny the first 100 or so times
Whip It-Devo.....makes me want to whip them
Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polk-a-dotted Bikini-Have no idea
YMCA-Village People....enough already


I have enjoyed this discussion of most-loved songs and I have agreed with
many of your choices.

But the contrarian in me thought it might be fun to start a thread about
songs we hate.

Then a very strange thing happened: I could only think of one song I really,
really hate.

Maybe I am actually maturing nicely. Maybe I have finally learned to "let it
go." Maybe I am just not digging deeply enough to remember the songs I hate .
. .

But my Number One (and only) song I hate is . . .

(DRUMROLL)

"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.

Thank you for letting me get that off my chest.

It is the Canadian repackaging of Both Sides Now in which she re-recorded some
of her favorite songs. A steal at 5.99. As a big, long time fan I would have to
agree that her recent albums and live concerts do have that Hallmark look and
feel to them. A long way from hearing her anger of the 60's and 70's.

I was so sad to hear about the passing of Jonathan Harris who played Dr. 
Smith on "Lost in Space". It was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

I though Joni would have made a good Judy Robinson in the show, just singing 
all day to that hottie Major Don West.  She could have sung the theme song to 
the show.

The hero cannot make the change
Lost in Space
The shrew will not be tamed......

And Richard Harris just died too, which feeds my suspicion that they were really the same person all along! If not, and your name is Harris, you best lay low for awhile, this is not a good time to be a Harris!

Democrat Coup Dbetat
John R. Averyt
Democrats began their attempt to dominate government by coup dbetat in the
year 2000. For the first time, a national party contested presidential
elections in court. The Clinton/McAuliffe axis of evil is in firm control. If
the final outcome remains obscure, the beginnings at least, are clear.
A coup dbetat is, ba sudden, decisive exercise of power whereby the
existing government is subverted without the consent of the people.b Once
consigned to bbanana republicsb south of the border, it has moved north.
George Bush won Florida by an eyelash. Various brulingsb debased the
standard of a legal ballot. At the end, Democrat election officials could
determine for whom the voter had bintended to vote.b The United States
Supreme Court intervened. A coup dbetat was barely avoided. What would have
happened had the high court failed us?
The next coup dbetat came in May 2001. James Jeffords turned his coat,
granting majority status to Senate Democrats. The will of Vermont voters, who
had elected a Republican, was overturned without consent. Coup successful.
Then came New Jersey.
Robert Torricceli dropped out of the New Jersey race for the U.S. Senate. The
Jersey Supreme Court changed the law by fiat. Frank Lautenberg was anointed.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene. This coup was successful by
default.
Widespread Democrat vote-fraud mini-coups have emerged in Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Iowa, South Dakota, Nevada, Wisconsin and, of course, Florida.
In Oklahoma, many absentee ballot signatures appeared identical. In Florida,
voting forms have been sent to felons in prison. A South Dakotan was paid
twelve thousand dollars to register the dead. Corpses have been enrolled in
Arkansas. In Iowa, false registrations have been taken from telephone books. A
voter in St. Louis actually turned out to be a dead dog. In Wisconsin, the
attorney general, a candidate for governor, traded soda, quarters and pastry
as bribes for votes in an old folksb home. Can anyone explain this sudden
affinity for the Democrat party by the dead and those about to be?
In Miami, a Haitian invasion was staged for the national evening news.
Hundreds of refugees ran from their boat into the streets. Al Sharpton is
riding to the rescue.
Democrat officials in Maryland have excluded 10,000 Republican absentee
ballots. Voters were not informed until October 29, 2002. Too late to allow
new forms to go out and return by mail.
Minnesota Democrats have mutated yet another law. New absentee ballots to
replace votes for dead candidates, once forbidden, are now allowed.
Democrats also protest Republican poll watchers in Miami Dade. Investigators
in Florida have uncovered a plot to smuggle illegal ballots to Hispanic
groups.
A U.S. Postal vice president manipulated Postal Service funding away from
Arkansas to Georgia. The purpose? To influence a Senate election in favor of
Max Cleland, Democrat of Georgia. The executive has since resigned.
This reads like Saturday Night Live meets The Gang who Couldnbt Shoot
Straight and the Godfather.
Republicans often charge that Democrats are bereft of ideas. This is not true.
Democrats are full of them. Those that are not larcenous are felonious. Like
the executives of Enron and Worldcom, a bankrupt entity employs them. Instead
of cooking the books, they spin coup dbetat schemes. Doubting their ability
to win by conventional means, they cheat.
A large conventional coup dbetat is not acceptable, so they attempt these
small ones. It is sort of like political terrorism, a dangerous game that
reeks of jackboots and bayonets. If this scares you, it should. These are just
events we know of from press reports. What is really going on out there in our
mad, mad, mad Democrat world?
The true nadir came Tuesday evening, October 30, 2002. Democrats hi-jacked the
memorial service for Paul Wellstone. What should have been a solemn good-bye
degenerated into a Nuremberg hate fest. The death of a fine man, his wife and
daughter, three loyal staffers and two brave pilots was exploited for
political gain.
One kept expecting them to play bHappy Days Are Here Again.b It was an
extraordinary moment of depravity. This public relations debacle erased
Mondalebs bsympathy bounceb in the polls.
Not only have they lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong,
Democrats actively embrace wrong. Like a Faustian influenza, they infect
nearly half our citizenry. Skullduggery on this scale will not go unrequited.
Massive retaliation from Republicans can be expected. Elections will soon be
decided as much in court as at the polls. Watchers could degenerate into
roving gangs. One step down there are brown-shirts. Elections would then be
decided in the streets. The abyss awaits.
The Democrat coup dbetat will not go away. They make blegalb challenges
and plan massive vote fraud. Their next target for Senate subversion is Rhode
Islandbs Lincoln Chafee.
If one wants to combat the evil empire, battle can be joined at the nearest
polling place. Until then, post guards around the cemeteries.

Actually, Lori, Michael & James paired up with this one.

(*Heavenly Father)  On a related note:  I went to the animal shelter in my 
area yesterday to adopt a dog and cat.  I wanted to cry....I don't cry 
easily.... so I had to hold back the tears.  I wanted to take ALL of them 
home.....but unfortunately...most of them will be put to sleep.  SO 
sad....as I would pass the cages..all vying for my attention......  TAKE 
ME!! TAKE ME!!  I'm not much trouble!!  Look...at me I'm cute!!

Why people will not have their animals spayed or neutered is beyond 
me?????!!

The little dog I picked is named Buttons..four years old..so cute....so 
wants a home.   The women that work in their told me that Buttons has a chip 
for identification purposes and they tried in vain to contact the owner.  
Apparently these *lovely* people moved and left Buttons on his own to wander 
the neighborhood.  (did not even bother bringing him to the animal 
shelter!!)  A crime in my book!!  Forty days of hard labor!!

Just wanted to share... (leaving to vote)

Bree, congrats on the addition to your family! Buttons is a lucky pup to be sure.

To answer your question, I would say the following:

a) Too lazy
b) Too cheap
c) Think that they're "traumatizing" the animal by denying it sexual pleasure, not realizing that animals don't behave like people and are triggered only by biology.

We always adopt from the SCPA and they automatically spay/neuter.

tried this at a friends house who had a baby grand & a cool echoing
room...its really fun...

Joni talking about recording STAS with Crosby:

One of the things that we did that was kind of fun because of what had to
be done to clean up the tape, a lot of it was lost, he had me sing a lot of
it into a grand piano with the ringing pedal down.  So every note I sang
repeated itself in the strings. If you sing into a grand piano, the notes on
the strings reproduce the sound of your voice, thats the amazing thing. It
was so beautiful.  He had so many ideas. He was really good.<<

<... if George Bush doesnt want to make a case for Saddams demise, there is no constitutional requirement he do so. If he simply decides that Iraq is a danger and wipes it off the face of the Earth next Monday morning, there is no one to say him nay. He is the President! He will answer to the people in the next election. All this talk about making a case is something these journalists are making up in order to remain employed or for more nefarious political reasons. He doesnt owe us anything except to protect us from enemies Foreign and DOMESTIC.  >

<The President of the United States set down immutable law on September 20, 2001. Nations are either with us or with the terrorists. Saddam Hussein has not joined our War on Terrorism; therefore, he is with the terrorists. No other justification is required. Saddam Hussein has broken the law and must stand before the bar of justice.  Iraq defines Islamic Fascism and stands astride important lines of communication we must possess. If we are to be victorious in this struggle to the death, we need oil to fuel our tanks, desert to train our troops, Saddam Husseins demise to demonstrate our resolve. We need Iraqi earth on which to base our tanks and planes and to prepare for the next phase of operations.>

 

<The Democrats are tucked securely in their duck blinds, protected by a complaisant leftist press. They will spout their lies at a moments notice. A guilt-ridden populace will run to vote for them. Here are some facts.  This is the richest country in the world. Even the bums here are overweight. There is no prescription drug problem. Everyone received their social security check last month and will next month and the month after that. Most unemployed are safely receiving unemployment insurance. The largest farm subsidy bill in history passed by an overwhelming margin in both House and Senate. How can there be a problem with deficits when both sides of the aisle run to cram money into the nearest hands? If a voting block can be identified, black, brown, Hispanic or Martian, they will be showered with money.>

Hundreds of refugees ran from their boat into the streets. Al Sharpton is
riding to the rescue.
Democrat officials in Maryland have excluded 10,000 Republican absentee
ballots. Voters were not informed until October 29, 2002. Too late to allow
new forms to go out and return by mail.
Minnesota Democrats have mutated yet another law. New absentee ballots to
replace votes for dead candidates, once forbidden, are now allowed.
Democrats also protest Republican poll watchers in Miami Dade. Investigators
in Florida have uncovered a plot to smuggle illegal ballots to Hispanic
groups.
A U.S. Postal vice president manipulated Postal Service funding away from
Arkansas to Georgia. The purpose? To influence a Senate election in favor of
Max Cleland, Democrat of Georgia. The executive has since resigned.
This reads like Saturday Night Live meets The Gang who Couldnbt Shoot
Straight and the Godfather.
Republicans often charge that Democrats are bereft of ideas. This is not true.
Democrats are full of them. Those that are not larcenous are felonious. Like
the executives of Enron and Worldcom, a bankrupt entity employs them. Instead
of cooking the books, they spin coup dbetat schemes. Doubting their ability
to win by conventional means, they cheat.
A large conventional coup dbetat is not acceptable, so they attempt these
small ones. It is sort of like political terrorism, a dangerous game that
reeks of jackboots and bayonets. If this scares you, it should. These are just
events we know of from press reports. What is really going on out there in our
mad, mad, mad Democrat world?
The true nadir came Tuesday evening, October 30, 2002. Democrats hi-jacked the
memorial service for Paul Wellstone. What should have been a solemn good-bye
degenerated into a Nuremberg hate fest. The death of a fine man, his wife and
daughter, three loyal staffers and two brave pilots was exploited for
political gain.
One kept expecting them to play bHappy Days Are Here Again.b It was an
extraordinary moment of depravity. This public relations debacle erased
Mondalebs bsympathy bounceb in the polls.
Not only have they lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong,
Democrats actively embrace wrong. Like a Faustian influenza, they infect
nearly half our citizenry. Skullduggery on this scale will not go unrequited.
Massive retaliation from Republicans can be expected. Elections will soon be
decided as much in court as at the polls. Watchers could degenerate into
roving gangs. One step down there are brown-shirts. Elections would then be
decided in the streets. The abyss awaits.
The Democrat coup dbetat will not go away. They make blegalb challenges
and plan massive vote fraud. Their next target for Senate subversion is Rhode
Islandbs Lincoln Chafee.
If one wants to combat the evil empire, battle can be joined at the nearest
polling place. Until then, post guards around the cemeteries.
