That first night we were listening to the radio (I'm glad someone invented batteries - we didn't have speakers though so my son Matthew, henceforth to be known as Sparky, would either listen on the headphones and relay the stuff to Sarah and me; or else, he'd take off the headphones and turn it up really loud so we could all listen to this tinny broadcast. We kept hearing the same crap over and over again. We had slightly more variety though - we got to listen to your mayor AND ours. Trust me when I say there could be no bigger dufus than our own Mayor Mel Lastman, he of the foot perpetually in his mouth, which makes it all the more amazing that we can hear him around all those toes. It used to be amusing but not anymore. I voted for him last time only because he was the only candidate I had even heard of. There will be no worries about that this fall though, since he's not running. > when buses > finally did come by, > they were so packed they weren't even stopping so I > decided to walk > home, bought some bottled water for the journey, and > headed north along > with thousands of other people, kind of like 9/11 > but without the > emotional angst and not nearly as long a walk ahead > of me. I hope you didn't have too bad a walk. It was the same situation here, of course. The subway was shut down which meant people had to rely on buses, and there just aren't enough of those, so people were walking, walking, walking. Just to show how people can be people, some kind souls and shop-owners were handing out bottled water to the walkers, while others were jacking up the prices of flashlights, batteries and candles. Don'tya just love humankind? (or man unkind, as ee cummings put it.) Am I ever glad I was still on vacation, which meant I didn't need to worry about going anywhere, and I had put gas in my car in the morning, so no worries about the huge lineups at the gas stations (like, why would you want to drive in this anyway, with no traffic lights and when everyone in the world, except for me, drives like a complete eejit?) > > At nighttime, it was so weird > to not be able to see even the hand in front of my > face.

So dead feeling! I couldn't > sleep. I guess I find the > buzz comforting. I get that - the silence was eerie. There were still sirens going though (more than usual). Our neighbours behind were out on their deck yakking into the wee hours - not so bad - the guy's a cop, so that's a bit of a comfort. I was out there with the kids until dark, playing my guitar, while they decided to free-form draw in time to the music (LOL). Yesterday afternoon, a neighbour several doors up was playing the accordion (there are lots of Polish and Ukrainian people in my neighbourhood). I love the things people do to cope in these weird situations - my son rediscovered his non-electronic toys and I could hear him making all those vroom-vroom boy-noises that I've been missing for a while; and my daughter, as usual, did a lot of drawing. The frightening thing to me is how reliant we are on this technology that most of us take for granted, but don't understand, and how easily that whole thing happened, and how much that messed us up - we're talking about power in large sections of two different countries, so we really do rely on one another, don't we? Where are the windmills and the solar power, and I wonder what would happen if I tried to install something in my back yard to provide my own energy? That's enough from me about that! ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 10:26:50 -0400 From: "michael o'malley" Subject: Re: Bubble bath as dust piled high Hell and Bob, Of course, your interpretations make perfect sense!

Andrea, Me too, I relate to this song for many reasons, including the fact that as a young boy, I loved to hang out under the overpasses on the expressway near our home. The bridge in this case wasn't over water, but over lanes of streaming cars. Since the expressway was dug down into the ground, there was always a narrow crawl space near the top of the slope where it tapers to meet the overpass bridge, creating a narrow, cozy (but dirty) concrete space to hang out in, smoke cigarettes, watch the traffic, etc.. A yearning for a secret place.... And we also flattened our silver and copper coins on the railroad tracks!

As Marianne and I got closer to the Full Moon I took over the driving. She really really wanted to get to the barn at five as Ashara had requested. (get me to the" barn" on time) I didn't think we would make it because we had gotten a much later start Friday morning than anticipated. So traveling traveling those winding roads I really stepped on it. I'll cut to the chase...we did make it.. we pulled into the Full Moon at 5P on the nose. Marianne reaches over and starts blowing the horn to my chagrin. Since we did not have time to freshen up I still wanted to comb my hair and put a little lipstick on it. I started yelling "Wait!!" " Wait....I want to comb my hair...WAIT....I NEED TO PUT SOME LIPSTICK ON!!!!!!!" Then she screamed ..".Look....it's susan....Guzzi!!!!!! SUSAN! SUSAN!!!!!" I turned and looked ...susan running towards the truck..out of the truck goes Marianne. Hell..I thought..if you can't beat 'em join them and I did. The three of us embraced....although Marianne and I had numerous three-ways with Guz this is the first time I saw her in the flesh. (three -way phone calls :-) ) Susan..thank you again..I think Marianne and I both at that point knew we were at the right place. Guz led us to the barn ..although I might have looked calm and collective I was anything but! I started looking around and seeing these FACES...faces I knew...people I have laughed my ass off at ..their quips....one -liners. The Jmdlers that I have disagreed politically...Lori Fye was to my left. At this point I had to zone out a little because it was still very overwhelming for me. THE HIGHLIGHTS (some ) and THANK YOUS... in no particular order: Ashara..Mags..Maggie..for your tireless efforts. What a great job you did!! I know there are other people too who worked hard putting it together. I'm sorry.. I don't know your names...but a big thanks ,..too! The gifts in the welcome packet...BOB..ANITA..ASHARA...thanks so much!! I did not even know the Toronto Homage was included until I got back to Marianne's. We were going through the stuff and realized I had the homage to Joni. Marianne and I beat it upstairs and stuck it in the player. WOW....this was so great!! Chuck E's dulcimer workshop.. an erudite man with a big heart. (because of this ..I'm going to try my hand at playing the dulcimer) And thank you Chuck for Rainy Night House...it was beautiful!! Roberto's show tunes workshop.....watching this grand master lead was a thrill!! From this came another highlight....Victor and Yael doing a tune from Phantom of the Opera. I'm so sorry this was not caught on video....it was goose bump city. And to my Morningstar Lodge neighbors...Chuck and Barbara....Mingus and Rolls...Martin..Chris..Stryngs..Jimmy and Ed..Jack. Could I have asked for better neighbors? NO!!! You guys were a big part of the paradise. Mingus!! I connected with lovely man in the barn the first day while looking at raffle items. Not realizing he would be my neighbor too. He had Joni's complete catalog with him and let me borrow HOSL. But... Mingus inviting me to his room and sharing his Joni stories while looking at HIS photographs are truly beyond words. He took me to an almost spiritual realm sharing his Goddess. My only regret is that we didn't have longer and Marianne wasn't there with me to share this. I've tried to share with her this experience...but words just fail to capture my time with him. Stay well Mingus and thank you again so much!! Jerry singing Judy for me out on the porch. What a sweet soothing voice he has!! I was trying to think of the Judy Collins song that was in Walk on The Moon. Little did I know that not only did he know Judy stuff but the voice to sing it !!

Steve enters snapping his fingers to the song and then points to the ground with attitude as the line "My Kind of Town..." is heard. Clarence appears wearing a fedora and smoking a big cigar, enjoying himself as he blows big puffs of smoke into the air. Bruce joins Asbury Park's Rat Pack wearing a purple shirt with a black vest. "Adam Raised a Cain" triggers a powerful and intense five-song opening salvo. "Mad" Max's fierce drumming is over the top. Alternate-on-the-setlist "Prove It All Night" catches Nils by surprise as he holds an acoustic guitar for the first part of the song before exchanging it for an electric in time for his solo. Everyone takes an extended break to catch their breath after "My Love Won't Let You Down." Circumstances create an epic "Waitin' on a Sunny Day." At the end of the left ramp, Bruce catches and puts on a Sinatra-style hat, then runs comically like an old man to the end of the ramp on the other side before heading back to return the hat. Toward what would normally be near the end of the song, the stage lights go out during Clarence's solo. Bruce just keeps the crowd singing the chorus as Steve grabs a flashlight and lights Bruce as he dances and climbs upside down on his microphone stand. Bruce then grabs the flashlight, mugs and shines it down on himself during a knee slide. Patti then holds the flashlight on Bruce before a lone spotlight from the left-field upper deck is turned on to light Bruce. Comiskey Park's baseball lights are fired up, illuminating the entire place as Bruce finally brings the song to an end as the stage lights eventually return. "Just when you think you've seen it all," he says. "We don't need no stinkin' lights." During "Mary's Place," Nils is introduced as being born in Chicago to big applause. Bruce guts out the end of the main set as his voice is noticeable ragged during "Into the Fire," but then he gets a second wind in the encores. A wild "Ramrod" closes as Bruce does the splits for the second time, then swings the guitar around his body nine times! A new record? The setlist shows "Born to Run" closing the first encore, but Bruce has other ideas. He extends the ending and just lets it linger, strumming his guitar while letting Max wail at his drums for a punishing amount of time. After testing the limits of Max's endurance in a way I've never seen before on any song, Bruce tears into an exhilirating and bring-the-house-down long "Seven Nights to Rock" - a breathtaking end to the first encore. Bruce sings "There's a little cafe, on the South Side of Chicago" before launching into "Rosalita." A marathon "Dancing in the Dark" totally connects with the crowd and leaves everyone wanting more after three hours and 12 minutes. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 18:34:54 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Notches liberation dolls, was Re: Clouds...

It seems to be a relatively new concept but one whose time has come. Apparently one of its goals is to (wow) do away with the litigiousness and nastiness that normally go along with divorce - you avoid court and you actually work together to come to an agreement. (Of course, the other party has to not be an asshole, which could mean it's a no-go anyway, but hope springs eternal, n'est-ce pas?) This is something that's cheaper and much more logical IMO (and better karma too) than the old going-to-court thing & is also the course I'm hoping to go (was looking for something like this but didn't know what it was called until I talked to a local women's agency the other day.

Instead, she spends the day watching news reports of the event on TV in a New York hotel room. Although explanations vary, it's generally thought that Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young advised her not to go so that "someone will be on the show" in case they do not return in time. Although just four months after the event, Joni introduced the song Woodstock this way: "Everybody knows about Woodstock. I started off to go there... I was playing in Chicago and I was with my manager and another group. We had just finished playing in Chicago and they were on their way to the festival and I was on my way with them except that I had to do a television show the following Monday. So, Sunday afternoon we arrived at the New York airport and there were all sorts of hassles with helicopters and transportation into the festival so I got abandoned there. I got left behind and I felt really terrible. I went back into New York City and turned on my television in my hotel room and watched the little bits of it that they put on the news and felt sorry for myself... and then when I saw the magazine articles and pictures of it and everything I really, really felt sorry for myself because it'll never happen again of course" 1974: Joni performs at the Universal Amphitheater in Universal City, California.
