No, though I think 'Chinese Cafe/Unchained Melody should have been a hit! According to this book I have it was released in the UK Feb 83 on 7" with 'Ladies Man' as the b-side and never charted! It was never put out in the states but 'Be Cool' was in the same month with 'Underneath The Streetlight' as the b-side and also never charted - this one was not put out in the UK. There were no more singles from WTRF. I guess she put 'Chinese Cafe/Unchained Melody on HITS 'cos she thought it should have been a hit too. Gosh, that would make it a candidate for Misses, not Hits. I'm sure I read somewhere that CC/UM charted pretty high up in the UK. But you seem to know what you speak of and my memory is very vague. Why in heaven's name then is it on Hits? Makes no sense. Another bone to pick with Hits (as if it matters now): I have always thought Coyote should be on there, in place of River. Coyote was an FM rock radio hit. River was not a hit (though it has since been covered by nearly everybody). I think the whole Hits/Misses thing is messed up...not that it matters now, but whatever.

I'm trying to figure out the lyric. I'm thinking Baby Blue was killed - "there's your orphan with a gun". I think this is a clue : Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Steve Goodman, David Blue and Me i remember back in the late 60's early 70's there was a meme floating around in the collective consciousness that Dylan's Baby Blue was David Blue. I never bothered finding out the source or validity of that. You find following out a search of David Blue that he acquired his name because of his eye color...or "baby blues". cul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 08:03:18 EDT From: Murphycopy@aol.com Subject: Re: More Dylan content in liner notes Joni writes: << Birds of a feather aren't supposed to flock together >> Huh? --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 08:15:20 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: NJC Re: More Dylan content in liner notes > << Birds of a feather aren't supposed to flock together >> > > Huh?

Well, just this day I was spinning "Red, Hot & Rio" and I have to say that one of my favorite tracks on it is the dance-floor version of "The Boy From Ipanema" by....Crystal Waters! And she's note-perfect on this track, so she definitely has the ability to sing on pitch. Why she chose NOT to do so on "Twisted" is beyond me because that recording is really awful.

She has her ear to the ground in terms of modern-day writers, moreso than her contemporaries who shall remain nameless." Have you heard Johnny Cash's last album? He does a cover of a 9-Inch Nails song "Hurt." The original comes off as stock 90s whine-rock. In the hands of the man in black, it is a chilling story of an old man reflecting back at the end of his life. The video is also incredible. He also covers Depeche Mode and the Beatles, among others.

That's a "yes" to both. I have NRH on vinyl, and S&L on cassette. And in fact, I still listen to the cassette quite often, because it has Black Crow on it, which the CD doesn't (unless you buy the far more expensive Japanese import)!

Hi Bree, You have a few choices as Dar has released six albums. Her first, "The Honesty Room," is still *the* choice of many fans. It's sparse musically but lyrically complex and certainly lives up to its "honesty" title as it examines in detail Dar's observations about life. I suppose you could even call it "confessional," a term which is bandied about but generally despised by the artist, whether it is Dar or Joni. :-) The next two, "Mortal City," and "The End of the Summer," are each a bit more adventurous in their arrangements and melodies while retaining the sophisticated lyrics which are Dar's trademark. My own personal favorite, "The Green World," is a lush presentation that comes off much like chapters in a book rather than songs on an album. Drawing on her background in the theater arts, Dar sings about such diverse topics as spirituality, self-examination, and standing up for what you believe in. Her latest, "The Beauty of the Rain," is evidence of her transformation from a folk musician to one which is less easily definable, merging more into the pop world. As far as recommending *one* to get you started, I'd say try her live album, "Out There Live," which has tracks from all her albums. This will give you a taste of her entire catalog to date and also has a snippet of her famous in-between-song banter which is a huge part of her live performance. It also offers clues about Dar the person...socially conscious, witty, intelligent, and down to earth. One more album of note, while not strictly Dar, is "Cry Cry Cry" which is one of my "desert island" picks. Teaming with Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky, the trio cover some famous and virtually unknown works from contemporary songwriters with fantastic three-part harmonies (I've always been a sucker for male-female harmonies). There are several Dar websites, in my opinion the best being the non-official .

I think I've got it straightened around now, so just testing - LOL, and don't all start going "please don't test to the list"... Anyway, hopefully, I'm baaaack......

I was looking around their website today (I know, sad but true) and among the info. about the judges is a section on "Who are your idols?" Mark Holden lists Joni as No. 1! I'm starting to like him a little better than I used to! Marcia Hines includes people like Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin (classy, like Marcia herself) but unfortunately Ian Dickson's only "idol" is David Beckham. Lordy, lordy! Hell P.S. I marked this NJC because I doubt this is really of any interest to most Joni fans! ___________________________________ "To have great poets, there must be great audiences too." - Walt Whitman Hell's Home Page - NEW & IMPROVED! http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hell/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 18:47:49 +1300 From: "hell" Subject: Re: test njc Evian wrote: > Just testing my new email addy - My ISP changed > from sympatico.ca to sasktel.net, and so the list > would bounce my posts.

Please don't post tests to the list - it's very annoying. HA! OK, you knew "someone" would do it, and is it really any surprise that it's me?! Seriously, I'm glad to see you back - does this mean you'll be posting more?

HA!OK, you knew "someone" would do it, and is it really any surprise that it's me?! Seriously, I'm glad to see you back - does this mean you'll be posting more? Oh Hell, my dear, I'd even be happy to receive a "don't use to list for posting tests, I have too much to read and I am way too important a person to read annoying tests" emails! After a summer of packing, moving to a new house, unpacking the new house, having another baby (a girl, btw, Kristen Taylor - after James Taylor ), computer problems, etc., I finally have a new computer, and about 20 minutes alone in the evenings now to actually read email, so I look forward to being back into the swing of things! I actually have been keeping up here and there, but as I said, I couldn't post because of my ISP. Anyway, I was dying to post about the comment I saw about "Nothing Can Be Done" being a dud - it's in my top 10, that's for sure. I also am dying to get my hands on the Geffen set, because y'all know how much of a DED freak I am - Lori Fye and I have good taste, damnit! So people, fill me in on the gossip of the list - leave nothing out! Tell me all the juicy details! Is Bob still the music slut? Do we still argue politics? Has anyone accidently posted private stuff to the list lately? Enquiring Minds want to know! Oh and Hell, did you ever make it to Fleetwood Mac?? And please tell me you love "Say You Will" too or I will completely disown you! Next to Rosanne Cash's "Rules of Travel", it's my album of the year - and the title track I never get sick of. Really, I will disown you.... Anyway, better run, it's good to be back! Evian np: "Big Log" - R.
