Joe Public is too easily influenced by the media hype. A jury of one's peers is the only true test, and although Joni Mitchell has very few peers, (in her opinion too) practically all musicians acknowledge her immense contribution to late 20th century popular music. IMHO, of course. mike in barcelona (sans lliga, sans copa, sans Beckham, sans everything) NP - Ani - Little Plastic Castles ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 09:22:21 +0100 From: Gordon Mackie Subject: Newaswell.....greetings from Glasgow! Maggie Hello from dreich Glasgow. It's nice to be able to welcome another Scot. There are a few of us (but only a few) tho we did have a McJoni Fest last October...well there were 4 of us at Loch Lomond ! (and two were from Paris!). I was at one of the Edinburgh concerts too.I also had tickets to see her in the 70's. I think it was 75 at the Apollo ...but she cancelled at short notice. Sarah Cartwright on the list is in Glasgow...and er..me! Where's you? Willy the Shake used to live in Wishaw (hi Mags in New Jersey) but he's in New Zealand now (close to Hell, hi Hell) (PS Hell is a member not a place) WOHAM....watched it last night....(tho Bob Muller had a copy made for me a couple of months ago...cheers Bob) . Of course I loved it - one annoyance tho...no narrator bringing the whole piece together. I'm sure this was a conscious choice, maybe even a demand made by Joni, but it leaves a feeling of disjointedness and much of the analysis is therfore kinda light. Nobody to make connections and reach conclusions. We have to reach our own instead. On reflection, you don't get to know much about Joni that you didn't know before and the obvious omissions amuse me. The Missing Hissing and James Taylor almost airbrushed out. Ah, selectivity. Where would we be without it! Ha. I think I'm finished namedropping for today - hope you enjoy the list. It is great...and like any good community, we laugh, we cry, we argue (sometimes spectacularly), and mostly talk about the Joni side of our lives.

A small number of gay guys with good taste, and their girls;-) My only problem is how fecking short the set was! She came on at about 9.10pm; we were in the bar by 10.20. I was quite surprised that it was so short, it felt like she had played lots, and she seemed to be really enjoying herself. She was very talkative and laughing at her own jokes quite a lot. I will definitely go to see her next time she plays near me.

Not very techno minded though, so I can't do the fancy dancy stuff yet. How is everyone in cyberland? Can the UK people possibly let me know who they are if they are not too shy? I live no where near Motherwell Jamie, I am on the west coast by the sea, very dull, very rural, but very pretty. Thanks for your lovely welcome though. Mingus you met Joni, I am in awe, can you tell us more? Also has anyone read "Beneath the Underdog?" I am very curious about Mingus I know so little about his music, his politics etc. Did I imagine this or did someone quote Wallace Stevens in an earlier digest, I scrolled through to fast then deleted ( twas before I started writing I was sussing this out) so can't find the quote or who you are..Mike thanks for your reply, but, football me no likey (for a Scot that is a serious confession) me sick to death of Beckham enough said! I do know what you mean though. (-; I think it is brilliant that the young uns are discovering Joni she is timeless and in the present music culture sorely needed. What do people think of Travelogue or has this been a subject debated too much already? i would like to know who the guy is in one of the portraitsin fact i would love to know the stories behind all the pictures is that on a database anywhere?

Steely Dan's new release, Everything Must Go has a dvd included with the cd, and the dvd is "Steely Dan Confessions" which you can also see on the official website. It is a takeoff on Taxi Cab Confessions and features Walter and Donald riding aroune in Las Vegas with Rita the taxidriver. The pick up various women and talk to them, discussing the new album. In episode 5 (The Wig Woman Lets Go), Walter is reading the titles of the songs to a woman and asking her to tell what she thinks the songs may be about. One of the songs is "Blues Beach" and she basically says that while you go to the beach for tranquility, there can also be a dark side to losing yourself in the ocean. Then when Walter says something about going down to the murky depths, Donald Fagan says "down the dark ladder" and Walter Becker repeats "down down the dark ladder". Is there some other literary reference I am missing, or is this a clear reference to the lyrics of "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire"? BTW, the new album is excellent on all counts. I especially like the title cut, as well as "The Last Mall" and "Greenbook". IMHO, it is even darker than "Two Against Nature" as far as the subject matter and assessment of our world is concerned, but thankfully much more upbeat in tempo and tone, if that makes any sense. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 10:10:08 -0700 From: "Lori Fye" Subject: Re: You're funny, Joni Marianne wrote: > I have been thinking about some Joni lines that make me laugh or > smile.

How low key are you now? On a scale of one to ten, with one being totally frantic, and 10 being impossibly, annoyingly low key, how would you rate yourself?

I'm glad that Joni's guitars are finding respectful homes. 'Nuff said.

That's how I feel about my Norman Seeff print, an outtake from one my all-time desert island discs: "THE HISSING OF SUMMER LAWNS". Can you imagine how much it would have cost to buy outtake artwork from "ABBEY ROAD"? I never would have been a successful bidder.

But Bob was kind enough to remember that I am a long time fan of Hedge and Donna - just listened last week to Bob's cd he made for me back in 2000 of the All the Friendly Colours album - and kind enough to send me this - that's why we all love our Muller! I just felt like telling everyone how much I appreciate you! Thanks!
