Let me add this: NEW YORK (Reuters) - Film director Woody Allen, known for his fierce devotion to New York, is working as a pitch man for France, urging Americans to eat french fries, to French kiss and travel to the European nation. In a French tourism promotion video, Allen, whose movies are enormously popular in France, says it is time to put behind them the animosity over France's opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which soured the long-standing relationship. "Recently there has been a lot of controversy between the two countries, and I would hope that now the two countries could put all that behind them and start to build on what really has been a great, great friendship," he said in the video, called "Let's Fall in Love Again." The tourism board is playing the video at lunches for travel journalists across America, hoping to boost the number of Americans traveling to France, down 15 percent in the first three months of 2003 compared to the same period one year ago. American resentment of the French stand was reflected in many ways, with some calling for a boycott of French wine and cheese and some restaurants renaming french fries "freedom fries." Allen, who has worked with the French tourist office before, said he doesn't want to refer to his french-fried potatoes as "freedom fries." "And I don't have to 'freedom kiss' my wife when what I really want to do is French kiss her," Allen added. >> Ditto, Let's fall in love again... and French Kisses to all of you!

Like Kerry said, she reminds me so much of Joni (and she's a big fan). She writes in her own blood to be sure, and takes personal insights and makes them universal. For the best 4 years she has filled the gap for me left by Joni's inability to do anything worthwhile. So where to start? You really can't lose...To The Teeth is where I started and it worked for me. Little Plastic Castles would also be good, or her 2-cd live set from last year "So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter". Lots out there to enjoy, so go for it. Like Joni, she changes direction in terms of musical styling from time to time. She said in an interview that Evolve would be the last of this style, and that she would change direction on the next one. And because she reords for her own label (Restless Babe) she can put whatever she wants to whenever she wants. My favorite line from 'Evolve': "They say the truth can set you free, but then again so can a lie..." I hope she comes through here, Laurent. I saw her live with a band 2 years ago and would love to see her again in a solo setting.

The only thing we know for sure that Joni no longer has the ability to do is hit some notes she used to have in her upper register. I don't think we have firm evidence that she is *unable* to do anything else as far as her music is concerned.

My friend Russ let me xerox a pre-Ladies of the Canyon songbook from Sicquomb about eight years ago, which had the sheet music to Songs for a Seagull, Clouds, and "Poor Sad Baby," "Moon on the Mirror [sic?]," "Carnival in Kenora," and four others that are unreleased. I still have the copies somewhere... But even more interesting is a poem or lyric that has no music called THE FISHBOWL (it has the typical copyright information at the bottom and is dated 1969). This EXISTS but I can not find it (it has been separated from my copies of those songs, and I have not seen it mentioned on Joni Mitchell.com.) Anyone have or know of this? If not, I will try to go through my boxes of stuff to find it, I know I have it someplace. [IMAGE] From what I remember, the song has a similar theme to The Arrangement, For the Roses and so on. Also, Fairport Convention's second album, What We Did On Our Holidays, has been re-released in England as part of the Island re-masters series. Besides being my favorite album by a band, (not single performer) it has the only recording of Joni's song Eastern Rain available right now. They do not use the chorus, only the verses, but it is quite beautiful, with the late Sandy Denny and Ian "UK Woodstock" Matthews on vocals and Richard Thompson on lead guitar! It is the reason I bought this album in the first place (along with Tom Rush' The Circle Game, with its version of Urge for Going). Their producer, Joe Boyd, is the one who tried to get Joni a music deal in England, I think it was Essex, or Winchester, or something, Music, and Joni played shows with Fairport, Nick Drake and others! Now that would have been a dream come true for me! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

My point was that I always counted on Joni to force me to curl up with her words and musical textures, something which were badly MIA on her last 2 projects. Ani stepped in and filled the gap nicely; indeed has the potential to surpass Joni in both departments as far as I'm concerned. I think it's important to be open to the fact that there are others who can.

I was surprised to hear that the poem had ever been published. It's mentioned in Karen O'Brien's book Shadows And Light p.30 and also in this interview: Doug From the JMDL archive. Mojo, Aug. 1998 interview http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=195 It's become like movie stars. I wrote a poem when I was 16. Having written this poem, why am I in this business? But we had to write a poem, right? It was supposed to be blank verse. So I was getting my hair done for some kind of prom deal, because that's the only time we'd go to the beauty parlour in those days. And I was sitting under the dryer, and they had stacks of movie star magazines. The reigning deities, the teenage idols at that time, were Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin, who were newly married. So the tabloids were full of the misadventures of their marriage. And I just felt so bad for them. And I remember thinking to myself, If somebody wrote this about me in the school paper, I would just die. So that's what triggered this poem that had to be turned in for assignment. It was called The Fishbowl: The Fishbowl is a world reversed Where fishermen with hooks That dangle from the bottom up Reel down their catch without a fight Pike, pickerel bass, the common fish Ogle through distorting glass See only glitter, glamour, gaiety Fog up the bowl with lusty breath Lunge towards the bait and miss And weep for fortunes lost Envy the goldfish? Why? His bubbles breaking 'round the rim While silly fishes faint for him And say, "Look there! I think he winked his eye at me."

The sporting angle njc Following the recent discussion about the difficulty of admitting that it's over, I read a fascinating item in the Times today, written by Owen Slot. It looks at the problems sporting stars have when time catches up with them, and I was struck by how similar, in some ways, their plight must be to that of musicians (although there are obvious differences too). Some extracts below are below. I found Colin Jackson's comments particularly illuminating. How many once-great performers just can't bring themselves to admit that it's time to stop? << Two cautionary tales. One: Matti Nykanen, the Finnish ski jumper who won four gold medals over the 1984 and 1988 Olympics. [...] Nykanen has been married four times and since retiring has tried his hand at singing and then stripping and has waged a continuing battle with alcohol. Two months ago, he said that he had nearly killed himself. bI was ready to shoot myself,b he said. bI knew where to get the weapon and how to end this hell. The problem is not only alcohol, the reasons are deeper. I am disappointed in myself, it canbt go on this way.b Two: Graeme Obree, the Scottish cyclist. Next month will mark the ten-year anniversary of the day when Obree, pedalling a bike hand-built infamously using the parts of an old washing machine, first broke the world hour record. He later broke it again and, in 1993 and 1995, won the World Pursuit Championship. Bureaucracy and injury conspired to keep him out of the headlines thereafter until just before Christmas 18 months ago, when he cycled eight miles to a barn and tried to hang himself. But for the chance arrival of a young girl, he would have succeeded. Obree suffered from manic depression. He had suffered from it before his career took off, but those close to him say that the cycling brought a hiatus in the illness, a distraction, a sense of direction that he has not been able to replace. Of course, it does not have to be that way. bIf you retire on your own terms, then you have inner peace,b Colin Jackson, who put away his spikes on his own terms in March, said. bIf not, you are struggling with what-ifs. But I donbt miss it. It was my choice. My mind said to me: itbs time to go.b >> ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 18:41:30 EDT From: AzeemAK@aol.com Subject: A true legend gone njc I just saw that Gregory Peck has gone to the great celestial sound stage.

He was such a fine actor especially as Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird". Not only was he a fine actor, but I knew I was attracted to men at age 5 when I saw him in that movie.

From Patti (on the Shawn Colvin List) comes this tidbit: "I went to see Seal here in Toronto, and walking into the ampitheatre right next to me was Joni Mitchell. She is beautiful ! I almost thought it wasn't her because she looked too young, but it is hard to mistake her distinctive features. I stayed cool and opted not to approach her. About halfway through the concert I went to get a drink, and I walked right by her. So much for being cool ! I could not resist talking to her - I am a huge fan, and she is such an icon ! She was very sweet and gave me an autograph. Wow !!!" - ---- For a comprehensive reference to Joni's appearances, consult Joni Mitchell ~ A Chronology of Appearances: http://www.jonimitchell.com/appearances.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 23:23:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Susan Guzzi Subject: Re: [NortheastJonifest] june 12 #2!!!!! -- NJC HAPPY FREAKIN BIRTHDAY BREE!!!!!!!
