When I get caught up, I expect to re-subscrybe, and get more info about one of the great artists and her fans.

She's not untalented, but all she has to do is sneeze and she garners multiple nominations. Not to mention the fact that she jumped the shark big time with "C'mon C'mon" anyway. And I'm a pretty big Sheryl fan.....what? Y'all think the "SC" stands for South Carolina? ;~) Oh, I also meant to say that I was glad for Stephen that his buddy Remy Shand got nominated all over the place as well.

Unfortunately, because December got so hectic, I had to delete most of the Joni digests : ( waaaah. But I'm starting up again and am through I think Jan. 2. Phew! So far 2003 is shaping up to be a great year for music. Shawn Colvin is playing here next month, and my dear, dear, darling Neil Finn (did I mention supremely talented?) is coming back to town in March. Then on the radio the other morning while on my way to work, I heard a most interesting singer/tune. I was so mesmerized, I called the radio station on my cell phone. Turns out it was Maya Sharp singing -- uh, now I can't remember the exact title -- something Witness. I had similar reactions on first hearing Jonatha Brooke and Rickie Lee Jones. I'll see if I can check out her CD. Let me know if anyone likes/dislikes her. Sometimes these people are one-hit wonders, as you well know. Oh! And my husband got me a new bedside alarm clock with a CD player and now I wake up to "I'm always runnin' behind the times ..." on work days!! Lovely! Due to the continual begging from our kids, we got a dog at the end of November who is a very nice girl (when not biting us in play and stealing my kids' beanie babies.) She's about a 1-yr.-old mix (maybe part boxer/greyhound/golden retriever) we adopted from a local shelter. Lo and behold, she has turned into mostly my dog since my husband is not that interested in the work it takes to clean up after her, walk her, etc. and the kids are, well, kids. I'm getting a lot more exercise which is a good thing (so that the box of 12 Le Petite Ecolier cookies I ate this afternoon is completely negated, calorie-wise, to my way of thinking ; ) Was so glad to hear Joni's song in "Two Weeks' Notice" -- and I happened to be wearing my JMDL shirt!! Yay! Karma, baby! Okay, that's my report so far, boring as it may be. Looking forward to a little more rest after the whirlwind Christmas season. My best to all, Lindsay ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 21:18:02 -0800 From: "RSM" Subject: Re: oh Pigs njc I, for one, am more concerned about how to handle the next Sunday brunch at Colin's home: "Um . . . err . . .

I was surprised to see "Tea Leaf" there as I for the life of me find nothing of value in that song whatsoever. So if you feel like it, I'd be interested to know what you appreciate about it. Not so I can disagree, but rather so maybe I can listen for what you're hearing. > The first time I heard the Chalk Mark album - which was the first new Joni release I got on CD (not vinyl), I remember thinking that although I liked it as a whole better than its predecessor, Dog Eat Dog - there was only one track on it that I instantly loved. And that was Tea Leaf Prophecy. There's nothing I can say that will endear it to you if you don't like it, as you've probably by now played it a few hundred times. I know there are songs I'm not wild about, which I've played a lot just because I don't hate them enough to move the record needle or to program them out of my disk. What I like about it is the atmosphere it creates. It's very homy and it's like a movie I can picture in my mind. The surprise of finding love when there are no men in the town - then the fulfillment of the tea leaf prophecy - and running throughout it is the routine of life...planting gardens, doing shoveling...I like the mix between big world issues "nazi dread" "Tokyo Rose" "Hiroshima" -- and then her own simpler world away from that at home sitting around the radio. I love the line about "just a sneeze in long, long bad winter cold." And I like the melody - both the spoken voice and the background melody "study war no more..." - I think they're woven nicely together. I think her phrasing is exquisite on it and the words just flow - I enjoy singing along to it. It's one I would have liked revisited on Travelogue because I think it would have been interesting to hear it orchestral, without some of those mid-1980's studio touches on the original. From your list, Bob - I love the songs you mentioned in your list - although I've never heard the medley of Circle Game/Little Green, which sounds like it must be something else.

For all their faults, and all nations have them, the US > are a force for good; they have liberal and democratic traditions of > which any nation can be proud. Well, thank you for that ;-) All these topics of war and politics and anti-Americanism are constantly being discussed in my little group of friends and acquaintances in L.A. Interestingly, all of them except for one are on the left and all support regime change in Iraq. They are the ones shouting me down if I express the slightest reservation! As for the revived anti-Americanism movement (which is quite apparent and disturbing to everyone I talk to) the knee-jerk reaction among all is that we would dearly love to just pull up stakes everywhere and stop getting involved at all, in any way, with other countries. Really, we are beyond fed up with it. I joke that we should form a new "Atlas Shrugged" political party. The other side of that coin is that most Americans do have an instinct to want to help others. It's a significant part of our culture that I don't see changing anytime soon. One in the group is from South Africa and has lived all over the world. He recently told me with a laugh that "yes, everyone hates the U.S., but deep down they really admire it and do expect it to come to the aid of the rest of the world and be the force for good." It's sometimes very hard to want to follow and support that premise when so many are attacking and undermining it.

Wrong thinking leads to pain and suffering. In the end we cannot know Aboslute Truth. we cannot step outside of ourselves. ibeliev we can gain an approximation of truth.

Sure, wrong thinking can lead to pain and suffering but I am not sure it works like that all the time though. I do not think that if people are 'good' then they will have only joy, or that if people are 'bad' they will experience suffering - like some kind of a thermometer for our lives. Jesus did say, "While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world"- John 16:33 And he was the ultimate in "good" and he suffered by crucifixion. So, good people do suffer. Hmmm, reading down a bit further while I had the Bible open, it says, "You will be expelled from the Synagogues, and the time will come when anyone who kills you will think that he is serving God". John 16:2 That sounds like what the Arabs are doing right now - killing in the name of Allah. Interesting... Joseph. http://movies.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
