She gets airplay on my local AAA radio station. She a regular at Starbucks. The play her at Barnes and Noble. They had an All-Star Tribute on the TNT cable network. She probably gets almost as much airplay as Bob Dylan. Her early work gets more airplay than Graham Nash'es early work with the Hollies. No airplay? Let's try Laura Nyro. Let's try Ian and Sylvia. Consider the Kinks, or Martha Reeves. These people have been forgotten. Around here Joni gets more attention than Carole King. This cup of Joni's is half-full at least. Why is she so bitter? Lama From: Little Bird [mailto:littlebird3333@yahoo.com] It depends on what you consider to be "the pop world." Joni made the comments in reference to radio play, of which she gets none. In that sense, the pop world has indeed shunned her. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 21:54:26 -0800 From: frasere@intergate.ca Subject: re: sisotowbell lane From my take on things Catherine, sounds like you know the Saskatchewan way of life rather well.

Iran? Zimbabwe? > and numerous other countries. I don't imagine those that are against war would be any happier about attacks against those countries. And who knows, they may be next. I opposed going into Iraq but now, after witnessing what the beast has done to our soldiers, I can only support our troops and look forward to Saddam Hussein getting what he deserves. As for world sentiment, it is as jaded as the coverage of Al-Jazeera." Mack, this misses the point that at least some of those standing in opposition now are not against all wars, but against *this* one in particular. And part of the reasons we're against this one is that the stated rationale of the U.S. government seems inconsistent with its prior action, or inaction, in other nations under similar circumstances. If one of our supposed reasons for the invasion is to separate the Iraqi people from the clutches of Saddam Hussein, then why haven't we taken similar action in the countries Colin mentioned, not to mention scores of others? It doesn't make sense--unless, of course, the "liberation" of the Iraqi people is not the real reason for the war, but one that our elected officials know will be infinitely more palatable to the American public than the true motivation. And that is exactly what many of us strongly suspect. Take care, Mary P. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2003 07:31:36 +0100 From: colin Subject: Re: Iraq-NJC Theo-anyone who has reservations about this war, or is anti it, will be deemed to be a Hussein supoorter by those who refuse to, or cannot, think.

Seriously, I am distressed that we are at war but can do nothing but support our troops at this time. As always, enjoy your take. mack ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 00:59:06 -0600 From: "mack watson-bush" Subject: Re: Iraq-NJC > Theo-anyone who has reservations about this war, or is anti it, will be > deemed to be a Hussein supoorter by those who refuse to, or cannot, > think. It is a typical accusation of the fearful and ignorant. Well, not true. Only those that openly support him and take up for him. And actually ignorant is those that think only their thoughts are valid. mack ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 01:03:05 -0600 From: "mack watson-bush" Subject: Re: Iraq-NJC > Hah!

I don't know if Bush/Cheney/Ashcroft, etc. have intentions to use level red to strip the public of its rights....but let's face it, the changes implemented with the Patrict Act, when combined with a declared threat level red, would certainly make it quite feasible to do so. Apparently there is a Patriot Act II in the works...see www.aclu.org. Bryan By Michael Collins Post Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- National landmarks like the Washington Monument, Ellis Island and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis could be shut down. Planes could be grounded, trains could stop running, and bridges and tunnels could be closed. U.S. borders might be sealed off, and roadblocks might be set up on interstates and other major highways. The United States is prepared to go into lock-down mode if the government should raise the nation's terror alert to Code Red, the highest threat level for terrorism. Code Red means there is a severe risk of terrorist attack, or that an attack is imminent or may already be under way. "It essentially means you stop doing everything except protecting yourself," said Dave McIntyre, deputy director of the ANSER Institute for Homeland Security, a nonprofit research group in Arlington, Va. Homeland security officials have put Americans on notice to brace for the possibility of terrorist attacks while the country is at war with Iraq. The threat level was raised to orange, the second highest, just two days before the war began last week. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2003 #206 ***************************** ------- 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?
