But using your logic on the shift of power, if you look at a world map (ignoring those little Pacific island countries), it means WE'RE next (not Australia, damn it)! Yep, little old New Zealand, tucked away in the bottom corner of the world, quietly and secretly preparing to be the next world super-power! We've actually started the take-over already, as you would have seen at the last Academy Awards. And you all thought Peter Jackson was just a dishevelled, scruffy-looking director..... I was also wondering who will get to be queen of the world, and thinking there might be certain advantages in holding that title? I can think of several royal decrees I could make: 1. War would be outlawed, and all the armed forces would be turned into agricultural forces, and sent to starving countries to set up productive farms. 2. All the tanks would be fitted with normal tyres and given to mothers driving their kids to school (because let's face it, that's what they REALLY want - not those flimsy SUVs). 3. All the war ships and planes would be converted to cruise ships etc. which would give tours to sick and disadvantaged children. 4. All the military bases would be turned into adventure parks and paint-ball ranges, so people with aggressive tendencies have somewhere to vent them. 5. Education would be free for whoever wanted it. 6. Music albums and movies get released in NZ FIRST (not last, like it is now). 7. Most importantly (and this would actually be first on the list) I would make an official order that Jonifests can "only" be held in NZ, and travelling expenses for all attendees will be paid from the royal treasury. Hell - now pondering her new national anthem, and thinking that she could command Joni to write something.... oooh, and I'd get to have a throne, and a castle, and a tiara (I'm thinking something flamboyant - kind of a Carmen Miranda arrangement with jewels and feathers instead of fruit)!

Loved Harry and S&L. In some ways, this record is my favorite of all her records. To me, her language was reaching peaks that she hadn't reached before. Telling stories with a precision and subtlety and complexity that she has matched, but still not surpassed. (The tunes are really good too.) and kate added: > My Dad warned me that > it was a very disturbing song, and my take on it was always pretty much > the same as yours: that Harry is trapped by a woman's body, greed and > need for him. I don't know why -- but your dad's warning strikes me as funny. (I don't know how old you are, and when this warning took place, or in what context, but 'parental warnings' about Joni is funny.) But my first impression was the opposite. My initial take was that the woman was trapped -- by a man, by society, by sexist culture, by materialism, etc. All the standard tropes of the mid-70s. To my ears, at that time, Harry was the heavy. It's only over time that I hear something else, and understand the much more complex portrait that JM is painting. 'Centerpiece' is Harry's reverie about the dreams he once had (still has) about the woman he loves. (There's really nothing in the song to say that Harry has done her wrong in any way.) Now, my take is: Harry still loves her; she doesn't love him. The original antagonist has switched places, and Harry is the more sympathetic character. Just another example of how JM's music and lyrics keep giving me something new to think about and appreciate as time goes by.

In addition to being indoctrinated with ideas about materialism, I think they are also trapped by traditional roles as husband (businessman, bread-winner) and wife (house and garden). I'm curious what you or anyone else thinks of Centerpiece - does it add to the story for you? Do you see the transition as disjointed or appropriate. Musically speaking, I wish it wasn't there - but I do love the effects Joni uses to move in and out of Centerpiece. gives it a real sense it's a flashing backwards in time. Maybe this it's all kind of obvious, but I've always wondered what lead Joni to add that section - breaking up the flow of Harry's House.

Nothing's any good. >Joni has always treated men and women with the same no-bullshit eye. I really agree with you here Bruce! I have thought a lot about Harry's House, and like you my perspectives have changed. My Dad warned me that it was a very disturbing song, and my take on it was always pretty much the same as yours: that Harry is trapped by a woman's body, greed and need for him. I was very surprised, when I recently read a biography of Joni called 'Shadows and Light', that the author perceived it as the other way round. She called Harry's wife 'a trophy wife' who had seen through Harry's attempts to trap her with material belongings, and had told him where to go: "To tell him like she did today, just what he could do with Harry's house and Harry's take home pay". You say,"Joni has always treated men and women with the same no-bullshit eye". You're absolutely right, she makes it clear to us that both Harry and his wife are full of bullshit: "Battalions of paper-minded males, talking commodities and sales, while at home their paper wives and their paper kids paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid". She is dealing with a couple who have both been indoctrinated by a lust for material affluence and a tendency to mistake people for their monetary value or superficial appearance: "Skinny black models with raving curls and beauty-parlour blondes with credit card eyes". Moreover, both of them are slipping into a profound unawareness of the reality of their lives: "She is lost in house and garden, he's caught up in chief of staff". We wonder if Harry and his wife, once upon a time, loved each other. But then, as you say, Joni kicks us into awareness with, "Shining hair and shining skin, shining as she reeled him in". Yet Harry, I think, does believe he was once in love, or at least infatuated: "He drifts off into the memory of the way she looked in school, with her body oiled and shining at the public swimming pool". I sympathise with Harry because he still has his memories of something more warm and vital than pursuit of wealth. I also feel he has some sense of the moving poetry of life (a bit like A Strange Boy) and even perhaps some vague ideas about the insignificance of man inside the machine: "People thirty storeys down look like coloured currants in the street/ A helicopter lands on a Pan-Am roof like a dragonfly on a tomb". Yet we know Harry is trapped and helpless right from the start, "Caught up at the lights in the fishnet windows of Bloomingdales, watching those high-fashion girls". But what is he trapped by? Is it JUST women, JUST sex, JUST money, JUST material belongings? I would argue that it may masquerade in those sophisticated guises, but that at its root it is desperate, desperate need. On the surface his wife may view him as a trophy, as a sign of her own worth, but underneath that she desperately needs him because nothing in her life is worthwhile without him. "God I sure am sick of that sofa...I said get down off of there...When you coming home Harry? Nothing's any good!". She is, at some level, aware of the meaninglessness and emptiness of her life. He is warmth, he is a heartbeat, he is something alive and vibrant amidst the thick choking blankness of her belongings. Well, there I go again! I have to say this really is an opinion in transition, as my personal feelings and ideas about human beings' needs for each other are currently undergoing some upheavals!

I was so suprised when I started reading articles and fans' views on the Joni Mitchell and jmdl websites, reading about people who saw it as a betrayal, or as empty and pretentious. But I know I can't imagine how they felt when it was new, and raw, and in its temporal context. So, did anyone buy HOSL when it first came out? What did you think? Sorry this is such a long post!

Maybe this > it's all kind of obvious, but I've always wondered what lead > Joni to add that section - breaking up the flow of Harry's House. Some weeks/months ago, I looked at HOSL and tried to analyse what each song meant (to me, at least). Here's what I said about Harry's House/Centrepiece: Again, it's the bored, frustrated housewife in DITS. But this time both husband and wife are feeling the same feeling of being trapped. He's off on the road with his boring job, staying in hotels with other men doing the same thing. They all have a wife and 2.5 kids at home, but they're getting their thrills watching the models in Bloomingdales (either real or mannequins), while she's at home looking after the kids, house and garden. But he's wistfully remembering her back when they first met, when she was young and tanned. Back then, she was opposed to the suburban lifestyle, but like many of her peers, ended up in the very situation she despised when she was young. I'm going to change my mind now, and remove that last sentence, since I hadn't really considered Centrepiece when I wrote the above analysis (interestingly, those lyrics don't appear on the JMDL site, so I probably forgot they were there)! I think "Harry" is remembering their early days, when his prospects for the future were a little more optimistic. It seems to me that the inclusion of Centrepiece is to illustrate what he thought married life would be like, rather than the stale, unexciting existence he's now trapped in. I think Joni uses this brilliantly to - quite dramatically - counter what the rest of the song is saying. Here's this bleak existence, but "this", ie. Centrepiece, is what he thought marriage would be like. Then, rather than ending the song on that positive note, she goes straight back into Harry's House and continues the description of the "pool-side goddess", who - rather than being his Centrepiece - has become something quite different! I like to think of the song as a little "mind movie". I can see this guy going from hotel to hotel, sitting in dark, dreary bars with other bored middle-aged men, and then in the middle of some boring sales meeting, he starts day-dreaming about how his wife looked in her younger days, contrasted with what she's become. It would make a great music video! I'd also love to know what inspired this song. Did she know "Harry"? Or did she see some lonely-looking salesman, and just make up a song about him? Joni really is brilliant - how many other artist's lyrics really require or evoke the kind of analysis that happens here!

Why is not every tree cut > down, replaced with a new one? Short answer: it takes 200 years to grow a nice, sound tree for lumber. And about 5 minutes to cut one down. Here in the Pacific Northwest, where timber was the No. 1 industry when the forests were vast, they often do plant trees in the clearcut areas. It's too little, too late, though. And yes, it's tied to population. Insatiable demand for housing from an ever growing humanity. And wood houses tend to have a limited lifespan. I'm actually working for a logging operation right now, in a way. I was hired to call for Northern Spotted Owls, an endangered species. If I find any-and it looks like I'm not going to-they will have to establish a buffer zone around the nest. Soon there will be trees falling and chain saws screaming on the hill above me, I am sorry to say. And yes, we really do have tree museums-they call them State Parks or Reserves or whatever; usually narrow strips of old growth trees along the highway to impress the tourists and remind us that they were once everywhere. The redwoods, up here, btw, live to be 2000 years old, and must be seen to be believed. The largest stands are being felled even as we sleep. Short sighted business man, nothing lasts for long. Nothing lasts for long.
