It was an interesting selection, including Velvet Underground and Super Furry Animals. The last song he played was an absolutely beautiful Leonard Cohen song. SO, what i want to know is what is this song and which album is it on. Its from the mid eighties, and the lyrics involve something like "goodbye to alexandra crying". Secondly, there was a Joan Baez song on a different radio show. I reckon it would be something recent, the lyrics are somthing like "stand up woodie guthrie" and she mentions martin luther king. Can anyone help?? I really want to hear these two songs again! Has anyone seen Love, actually?

"At that period of my life, I had no personal defenses. I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes. I felt like I had absolutely no secrets from the world, and I couldn't pretend in my life to be strong. Or to be happy." With song after song of regrets and sorrow and a smoky-blue cover shot of Mitchell on the edge of tears, this may be the ultimate breakup album. Its whispery minimalism is also Mitchell's greatest musical achievement. Stephen Stills and James Taylor lend an occasional hand, but in "California," "Carey" and "This Flight Tonight," Mitchell sounds utterly alone in her melancholy, turning the sadness into tender art.

My heart problem would not have been discovered had I not developed the neck and back and arm pain. That is to do with trapped nerves and wear and tear. I get no pain from my heart. However, as the pain looked like heart pain, the ball started rolling. So every cloud has a silver lining I guess. I knew there was something not right with my heart a long time ago but Drs just out it down to nerves which they are apt to do if one has a mental health history. Once that diagnosis is made, it is difficult for drs to see you as sensible and human. Since January, when all this started, i have faced a lot of my fears. I have driven 0000's of miles thru Europe, thru mountains, over huge viaducts, thru long tunnels and just did 2000 miles all on my own. I upped and went to a dog show in Denmark! The last time I went to Denmark I stopped at the German port, took one look at the HUGE ferry, and said 'fuck that' and turned back. i was so annoyed for being such a wimp. This time, I arrived at Puttgarten, saw the ferry and said 'get on it, now'. I did and had to get on it again to come back. I did it and it was fine. I am now planning to get on a plane-just a short trip but i will do it. I have a dog coming from Sweden next year and really I will need to fly as it's too far to drive. So i have to stop being such a wimp about it. I am planning to go soon by plane to somewhere. I faced my fear of groups of people. It didn't work out, gave either the wrong impression, which is easy when one is afraid, or the group wasn't one be involved in. I think the latter as no one seemed to be able to look beyond or even at themselves. My attitude to people has changed too. I ignore idiots, dot' argue, and keep people who vex me out of my life.I cna do without the stress. i don't let the attitudes of others pull me down. I got down over what i experienced as group rejection till i relaised that that was their problem not mine and they have missed out. It isn't as if any of them are perfect! The really cool thing about going to euro dog shows: i meet up with friends from belgium, France and denmark and Holland. We all share the same passion and we get to discuss and argue without any one getting the hump. we can disagree over type or presentation or a judging decision and not take it personally. This pc thing has really opened up my world I had no idea why I even the thing in the first. I didn't know then what i know now. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, worse than fear. i have had far too much of that in my life, real bowel slacking fear. It is debilitating and stops one living. The past is the past and can't be changed. Today can be lived well, regardless. We all die and there is no point fearing it or tip toeing around. Live life with a bang. I have been more content or excited. I am experiencing freedom and joy and fun.I never knew I could be this way. It also occurred to me that as low as I have been, I can also be as high or higher(and I am NOT referring to my Bi Polar either! Which by the way, has been stable for a year now-no drugs. Despite all the stress my mood has remained 'normal'. I knew I could beat it.) Tilly is pregnant, Napoli will go to France for a French shag, and my French bitch, Nechung, will come here once she has decide to uncross her legs. She is way over due for her season-must have decided she doesn't want to come to England.Hopefully she will be up the duff before Xmas but I can wait.... My life has turned out much better than I could ever have imagined or even dared to hope for. I have been blessed and for the last 22.5 years loved in a way I don't see others experiencing. What more could I want? And what's more, I really see I deserve it too. bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 13:50:15 -0500 From: "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Thankful for JMDL While I'm on this thanksgiving vibe, I'll thank Les and everyone who's given something back to the JMDL.

The trend (a trend that's too slow IMO) is to provide healthier foods there. But then again, my kids take their lunches to school so for me it's not an issue anyway. (My daughter doesn't even WANT to eat cafeteria food, but I remember being jealous of the kids that could buy their food there, crappy as it was - - back then it was French fries with gravy and all that starchy crap that I didn't even like then, but it wasn't how good the food was, it was the point of being able to buy your own lunch and not bring something from home in a brown paper bag... but I digress.) I know there was a big brouhaha a few years ago when our Hospital for Sick Children was going to get a McDonald's right in it. I don't remember whether they have one or not because I haven't been there for a while (fortunately) but I do know they have a Tim Horton's (Canadian donut store chain, nice & greasy, like we likes 'em.)

I don't see where you're coming from with capitalism being "the natural default system of the human race." Capitalism does come naturally to some people but then again, so does socialism. I'm just guessing here but from what I see, most people don't do either particularly well. If one system worked better than another, we probably WOULD all be well off. Unfortunately those who are powerful, or who can shout louder, or who are better at taking advantage of others probably fare very well under any system. I'm not even going to try to talk you out of your political beliefs and I know for a fact you'll never be able to talk me out of mine. There's no point in anyone trying that because it's just one of those down-to-the-core things. I really am very skeptical of big business. On the other hand, I'm likewise skeptical of government, even if it's one I voted for. But for my part, I'm a socialist and nothing's going to change that. I don't like talking about politics because it usually results in yelling and I've had enough yelling in my life (and it doesn't change people's minds anyway even if it does make them shut up. I know there are people who take advantage of socialism (welfare fraud and so on) but there are also people that take advantage of capitalism (con artists as an extreme example) but I'd rather let a few welfare cheats get away with it than to see an honest but poor person go hungry or without food or medical care. Having said all that, I still have no idea what Joni thinks about all that star business! Maybe we should aks her. ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all live so close to that line, and so far from satisfaction ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 22:37:50 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: [NortheastJonifest] Re: Our Shooting Star's Missing Star --- "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" wrote: > "Okay, the industry is a cesspool, like a stagnant > pond.

So many things get dismissed as "nerves." I'm glad that you finally have an answer for all this weirdness and pain that's been going on in your life - even if it's not a good answer, but it's treatable, right? I totally understand your fears and phobias. I have been known to get to a place where I really, really want to go, only to turn around and go home because I get so scared about walking into the room, or meeting people. And I can come up with every excuse in the book why it's "right" for me to go home - but then I hate myself after for being such a wimp. (I am slowly getting better at dealing with that and it's so hard to explain to people who have never experienced it and it really isn't a pleasant way to feel at all and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.) I also understand the mood swings because I get a lot of those myself. Hormones don't help (damn those hormones!) One day I feel great, the next day I'm thinking of possible ways to kill myself that wouldn't hurt my family, or else thinking I'm the most useless creature ever to walk the earth. I wonder if there really are people who feel good all the time? If they feel good all the time, how would they know, unless they had felt bad at some point? A bunch of people here, and others that I know, have talked about carbs and so on, but I think it was you that really got through to me on that. Since early August, I came to the conclusion that a lot of digestive problems and heart burn I got pretty often were related to my diet and by process of elimination adn trying to tie in what I had eaten recently with how I was feeling, I came to the conclusion that carb-y things like bread might be the cause. So in early August, I cut back on the breads and fatty things. Since that time I've lost 20 pounds so far but better yet, no heartburn and no digestive problems. So thanks, Colin, for the "crabs" and welcome back. ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all live so close to that line, and so far from satisfaction ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 01:53:18 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: cath's monet it is quite beautiful, catherine!!! only, i shudder when i think of all the mosquitoes that might breed and prosper in that water! wally, putting up with the first mosquito bites of the season ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 02:22:03 -0500 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today in History: November 28 1970: Joni performed solo at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

I mean, it's pure electricity when she's out there, and it's a case of you can't catch her once she decides to fast break. Seeing those phrases in a new context is uhmm "neat" as we used to say back in the Nixon presidency. Back then I could work on the car without bifocals and the Internet hadn't been invented yet. It's a bit strange to think that even back, way-way-way back then, I had "BLUE", Lambert, Hendriks, and Ross, Brubeck, and ELP. BTW, I'm enjoying the instrumental takes on Joni that Bob Muller made. It's 13 tracks called "NOT A WORD".
