He gave the graduating students and the standing-room-only crowd a few of his own ideas for reaching one's potential. He told the students the most important question they'll ask themselves in 40 or 50 years is what they have done with their lives. He encouraged them to make career choices based on passions rather than position. "I recommend you find something you enjoy doing every day of your life," he said. Borrowing an analogy from a Joni Mitchell song, Cox said life is like a carousel. He said you cannot turn back, but you do have other choices. "You have the ability to choose which pony to ride and the direction your pony will go," he said. "I wouldn't mind turning into a vermilion goldfish." --Henri Matisse ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 06:40:49 -0700 From: "Brian Hernandez" Subject: Laurel vs. Topanga Canyon Em - You asked what the difference is between Laurel & Topanga Canyon. I'll jump in here and give you my take on it, because I live about a mile from Laurel Canyon & go hiking there on a regular basis. Also, a good friend lives in Laurel Canyon, up on Lookout Mountain (near where Joni lived) and she's a true Lady of the Canyon! I think Laurel Canyon still has some funkiness to it, though nothing near what it must have been like in the 60s. It begins in the congested flatlands of West Hollywood, winds up and over the Hollywood Hills and drops down into Studio City. It's very wooded, some grand houses have been built up in there (too big & with too many Mercedes' in the driveway, but that's another issue!) but lots of cool & funky homes are still up in there. The small, winding streets are dead-end...Laurel Canyon is mainly residential...the only business in the area is a small cafe, which seems to change hands often. I love hiking in there...lots of birds, wildlife, beautiful plants & wildflowers. A great escape from the big city below. Topanga Canyon is about 15-20 miles northwest of Laurel Canyon. It starts at the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu and winds up & over the Santa Monica Mountains. It's a beautiful, remote area...and there's a small town a few miles inland called Topanga, and it feels like you've stepped back into the 60s. The few stores there have hand painted peace signs in the windows, batik & tie-dyed curtains & you see hand-painted anti-Bush slogans along the roadway. It's a very small community, with a natural foods market, an amazing organic restaurant called Inn of the Seventh Ray, a small live performance theater and in the summer they have live music on the weekends. It's a great escape from LA...and you'd never know you were so close to such a big city. Most of the houses back in there are very funky...one was built around a tree and the trunk of it is in their living room...another home uses an old railroad car as their garage. There are also lots of big, fancy homes in there...mostly on the hilltop to get the ocean view. The road winds its way down to Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley. Topanga Canyon's a GREAT place to ride a motorcycle! I hope this helps give you more of a visual.

My lawyer will be contacting you shortly. :) Naw, after I saw her set I introduced myself and with a beaming mixture of admiration and lust said, "You are a MONSTER!" She fixed me with a quick flash, reading my expression, then started beaming herself. "Thank you!" "No, thank YOU." Later I was standing by the front door when she was leaving for the night. As a fomer movie theatre usher, I held the door for her. I said, "Good night... monster." She stopped dead. She started to open her mouth, then stopped. She smiled, blinked, then left.

He was shot to death in church in 1979 I believe, may have been 80. Rev C. L.'s home was the place that all the civil rights pioneers stayed at in the early days, so Aretha knew everyone. I knew well her sister Erma. Some day but not today I will tell the story of how on a dorm room bed in Kalamazoo I did my rendition of "Think" for Erma. Erma was a singer of some renown in her own right (not of course the match of her sister but she had a reputation and career of her own) and a very, very wonderful person, I really enjoyed her. She died a few years ago. And Aretha and all of her singing sisters were in the choir at Bethel and indeed that is where her musical abilities were realized. Listen to her earliest stuff and you really hear the Gospel music influence. It caused a little consternation in her for the first nonGospel music singing that she did, not knowing if she should sing secular, same struggle in her soul that Mahalia Jackson had. Remember when Aretha sang Nessum Dorma at the Grammies on what, an hour's notice when Pavarotti took ill or otherwise canceled at the last minute - Aretha knew the words in Italian because C.L. and Mrs Franklin used to play the opera over and over at home when Aretha was a child and it was her favorite aria. (the Rev) Vince because I first got to know Erma and her family through the church when I was in Detroit ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 09:36:17 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Joni Mitchell Show at American Conservatory Theatre in SF Hi Frank, here is a head's up for a tribute closer to home if you are interested...
