Well, I've been lurking on it for a few months, no posts until this one. Take a great deal of pleasure in discussions on the interpretations of Joni's lyrics. Have been a fan for a long time, attended the one and only New Zealand concert at the St James in Auckland back in 1980 or thereabouts. I think Em posted a few days ago about not quite getting into DJRD yet. I've loved that album for a long time, used to play it and lie in the bath till the album ended (and the water got pretty cold!).

The tree branches have grown so much, so close, that he can almost perch right up to the window and see himself without flying into the window. Yet, he prefers to fly and bang his lovely body into the window. . He has been doing this for two and a half hours so far this morning. The cats have grown use to this. They barely even get up to look anymore. He's doing it this very minute. . I hear: tap. . . tap. . .tap. Here's this thing, with the exception of about two weeks time, he has been doing this for TWO YEARS. Come June 6th it will be two years of visits from this bird. I have named him Cinnamon. Some have said that he wants to see his own reflection. Sometimes I think he is an ancestor reincarnated. Any ideas? Bright red and beautiful.

We had a cardinal or two that did stuff like this. Sometimes it would be banging at the window, because I'm sure it could see itself reflected there. Once, I think it saw something red through the window, not its reflection. I'm sure they think it's another (male)cardinal they think they see & that they want to fight with it to make it leave their territory.

This was Germany in the late 70's. I was supposed to be an art student but mostly drank beer listened to music and "played". A friend of my then-GF owned with her BF a "kneipe" or small neighborhood bar in Cologne. A dark place, but interestingly atmospheric, (they used to have meetings of the local Communist Party in the back room there). Anyway, it became known that I wished to partake of what I guess is a European ( or perhaps universal-but-antiquated) custom, or at least a marginally tolerated bit of whimsy. So anyway we (or I) got pretty trashed and I was "allowed" to throw my Kolsch glass down with great joy and spirit after I drained it. Those of you familiar with Kolsch glasses know there's not much to them anyway - they are sometimes referred to as "test tubes" - but still it was fun, and I felt so very priviledged to be able to do this human thing - so late in history. Now I just need to do the "flinging bones behind me" as I eat thing..but meat is a turn off these days kind of (although I still do it) so this isn't likely to occur. lol, oh well, smashing my empty glass down was enough. And doing it once was enough. People who "smash their empty glasses down" ought to wear shoes for sure. :) Em np "Shades of Scarlet Conquering" ===== ..............

Wow, Cindy! This is good, and very deep, too! I can definitely see the psychology behind all this. Not that I have a distrust for all women, but I do know a small handful who behave like this. And your analysis may reveal a bit of why Joni seems a little standoff-ish about making friendships with women, and why she may tend to befriend more males than she does females. After re-reading the lyrics to FTR, I have to throw out my theory about Joni inadvertently getting the flowers meant for her beau. The butterfly notes are intended for Joni to read, according to her lyrics. I wonder if the "red ribbon runner" may also be a reference to how some people "roll out the red carpet" for someone who is being honored?

There is a forest in the background. Lying on the grass next to the man is a dog. I'm not sure what kind of dog, but it is medium sized, has floppy ears, and brown spots.

Given the circumstances, it was always going to be "death or glory", but he did show his class. There are not many batsmen who could score 82 off 47 balls, with a complete bunny at No. 11 for 40 of them! And his record for the most sixes in tests is even more impressive when you saw that Viv Richards total runs were over 8000, but Cairns was only 3000! It would be very interesting to see how his career stats would read without all his injury problems - he's already in a pretty exclusive club with 200 wickets and 3000 runs.

In a burger place, "Free Man In Paris" came on. 2. Back home, on The World Cafe, David Dye was interviewing Alanis Morissette. He said "You've been given an... opportunity not everyone has." Alanis laughed. He continued, "You had an chance to do anything you want. You didn't have to work but you were faced with as Joni Mitchell put it, 'the crazy you get from too much choice.' What did you do with your time?" www.wxpn.com 3. I was reading the May/June copy of "American Photographer", cover-to-cover. See if you can guess who the photographer was in the Nikon ad: "We asked the band if they had an album title in mind, or any ideas for the photography. They said, 'No, not really,' Then Ray said, 'Well, you know, my wife and I were driving in downtown L.A. and we saw this hotel, and it was called the Morrison Hotel.' And everyone went, 'Oh man, that's great.'" Now Lama again: So much for Jim Morrison's rep as a visionary and a poet. Anyway, the photographer continued: "I'm a professional if that means I earned a living from photography, but I was just photographing the stuff I saw during the day as a musician and as part of knowing all these people." Nikon then says his work "includes friends and contemporaries like James Taylor, the Eagles, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, the Lovin' Spoonful, the Monkees, and Joni Mitchell. (If you want to see some of his work, you can visit his online gallery at www.henrysgallery.com ..." Now Lama again: Yeah, Joni's name was last as if to leave a lasting impression. :) By now you know it was Henry Diltz. Anyway, the next time someone claims that Joni has been forgotten, you can just smile.

(njc) Hi Victor, do you ever get down this way to play gigs or anything? was looking at your website..can't get the soundclips to work tho.. as far as missing the water..I had given serious thought to relocating to Arizona, but realized that (I think) I would miss being close to water.

Not as often as I'd like.....Hopefully sometime in the near distant future. I'm planning on being in Sarasota for a week in July, around the 4th. Maybe I can line something up around then.
