My daughter and I gazed at her from the balcony of Convention Hall in Asbury Park. They just recently opened up a bar and grill. She was so, so beautiful as she reflected off the Atlantic Ocean. It made me think of Joni's poetry...And the moon swept down black water Like an empty spotlight.

Too funny! I agree with everything Kate, Phyliss and Paz have said. L.A. is a lot of things but it is virtually snob-free (but not smog-free). Too diverse, too sunny, too many people and cars which I think actually promotes a pretty friendly and egalitarian culture. I'm wondering who the article's author thinks are the "elite" and the "common masses." We are just one big melting mass here ;-) The celeb "elite" are usually always friendly here and they like to be recognized/noticed - (that's why a lot of them are in the entertainment biz to begin with). Joni would be bored silly hanging with snobs anyway!

The concept album is called 3Greendale2 and it won9t be released until the end of the summer. Young apparently couldn9t wait to show it off, so the 11,000 fans at the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Fla., who paid as much as $85 to see the first show of Young9s summer tour, got an off-off-off Broadway debut. 3Greendale,2 just under two hours in length, tells the story of a small town 3right here in the U.S.A.,2 Young said in one of numerous plot-exposition monologues peppering the show. 3It9s a little town of 20,000 people on the coast.2 Among those: Earl Green, a.k.a.Grandpa, his wife, Edith, and their children, Jed and Sun. The family9s small clapboard house, complete with white picket fence, took up all of stage left. As Young and his longtime band Crazy Horse performed each song, actors portraying the Green family appeared in front of the house and acted out the lyrics. The musicians ignored the drama unfolding around them. Since no one in the audience had ever heard any of the songs, there was nothing to do but sit back and try to follow the thread, such as it was. Jed, who looks like he9s about 30 years old, murders Carmichael, the local policeman, and is thrown in Greendale County Jail. The devil, it seems, lives at the jail. (He wears a red jacket and a white Panama hat, dancing like Sammy Davis Jr.) Grandpa is an artist who has been creating psychedelic paintings since the 960s. The first work he sells, however, is a portrait of a man in a red jacket and a white Panama hat. Sun Green, meanwhile, becomes an arch environmentalist and hooks up with a Stetson-sporting pot smuggler named Earth Brown. Hounded by the media to talk about his son9s crime, Grandpa has a heart attack and dies on camera. The ever-invasive TV crews stick a microphone in his face to record his dying words. If that all seems hard to follow on paper, you shoulda been there. Young, who has always delighted in confounding his fans, thanked the audience from the stage, and said that being unpredictable 3is what keeps me going.2 The recurring themes in 3Greendale,2 including environmental awareness, old-fashioned American values and disgust with the media, are longtime Young trademarks. Yet the show9s concept was all but lost in the audience9s palpable disappointment. Shouts for 3Southern Man2 and 3Rockin9 in the Free World2 punctuated the gaps between songs. Still, 3Greendale2 persevered. The unfamiliar music beautifully-executed though it was, and played with trademark precision left many people scratching their heads. For the final 3Greendale2 number there were more than 50 people on the stage, including Young, Crazy Horse, actors, dancers and various people who seemed to have come out of nowhere. Young seemed to understand that his rock 9n9 roll 3Les Miserables2 might be a bit much for fans to grasp. When3Greendale2 comes out on CD in August or September, it will be accompanied by a DVD, shot by Young on 8mm,telling the same story fans will be seeing onstage all summer. By then, the mercurial artist will doubtless have moved on to something else, and this odd, uninviting stage show will be no more than a footnote in rock 9n9 roll history books. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 21:07:14 EDT From: PassScribe@aol.com Subject: Re: A little Joni in the night njc now In a message dated 7/14/03 1:14:20 PM, wallykai@fibertel.com.ar writes: << happy birthday kenny B!!!!! too bad the birthday fairy didn't have you on its jmdl birthday files so that you could have been properly and outrageously greeted. by the way, rosie, the full moon last night was the annual full moon in capricorn, very powerfully affecting those born under libra, aries, cancer and of course capricorn. a moon of endings and new beginnings. wally >> Actually, the moon Saturday night was just a tad shy of being full... technically, it was full Sunday night.

It was very good. That's great to hear! I've heard some good things about it. Incredibly an attorney I work with asked me to go to the show at the Greek Theater next week (must be the full moon). I keep telling him that I've heard good stuff about it and he keeps looking apprehensive.

I had run speakers out to the yard from the stereo and put on a good mix of music , but by the time everyone had left and my family had gone up to bed, I just didn't want to go inside or to sleep just yet. It was about midnight and I was in the mood for some Joni. I really wanted to hear "Ludwig's Tune" so I put For The Roses in the CD changer and pressed "play", After the last tune ended, I watched the clouds roll by a nearly full moon and felt it had been the perfect ending to a perfect day as I brought the speakers inside and headed for the bed.
