Have been a busy one. re: Ludwig's Tune and my comments - I am really glad it seemed to make sense to you guys. And Jim, I think you nailed it when you said the "you" in you're too raw, etc. is indeed the listener, but I think only if she's managed to rope the listener in. Nuri, same with your "everyone should make music" take on it. I think she is imparting that feeling, but only if she cares about you. And if you listen deeply to her - I think she cares. Again tho - those are just my feelings about it. The neat thing for me was that the last 4 days or so (haven't seen todays) the articles of the day on jmdl.com have sort of "spoken to" things I was wondering about...so thats been really cool.

I'd forgotten about him (I think I'd blocked him from my mind) but he's another that I can't stand listening to, which probably started with a flatmate who LOVED him, and played two or three songs over and over and over and over and..... Celine Dion is another one (and shame on Anne Geddes for doing that photo shoot - although she was probably paid rather well....), and pretty much all the "boy bands" and Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston clones, who all sound the same anyway. And the more recent ones like Britany, Beyonce, etc. (I do like Pink, but she's a little more original). And although I don't mind his voice so much, I think Robbie Williams is incredibly over-rated. I was a big ABBA fan when I was about 7 or 8 (and I used to "be" Frida when a friend and I "played" ABBA), but I can't say I listen to them much these days. But whether you like them or not, they did write some incredibly well-crafted pop songs, and marketed themselves very successfully. Interestingly, they were most popular in NZ and Australia, and their tour down-under could be compared to the Beatles tour in 1964 -hard to believe, but true! And films like Priscilla and Muriel's Wedding have brought them into the spotlight again...

I'd better explain why I said that so y'all can relax... Firstly, everything with me is fine...I mentioned back a couple of weeks ago about buying a new car, a 2004 Saturn Ion that I've really been enjoying. Well, I paid cash for it (actually wasn't cash it was from my home equity line of credit but the insurance companies don't show a lien on the vehicle by doing this, plus I can deduct all the interest off my taxes). By law, if you have a lien on the car you have to carry collision coverage. Now I've never had a ticket or an accident in over 30 years of driving (like Raymond in Rain Man I'm a very good driver), so I've always tried to minimize the amount of insurance I carried as I've never filed a claim. Do you see the ugly turn this is about to take? Anyway, I was heading out of town for the weekend with my buddies from Raleigh, and I was stopping by the ATM for some traveling dough. I thought I had a clear shot to make my left turn, but when I did another car came out of nowhere and smacked me a good one. My fault, but at least I wasn't charged with a ticket so I won't get any points on my license. Best news, of course, no one hurt. The other car just had a scratched plastic bumper, which of course my insurance will pay for. And now, my new car is in the body shop, getting 'torn down' so they can give me an estimate for the repair, ALL of which will come from my own pocket. I suppose not paying for any collision insurance for over 10 years, maybe I'm still ahead, but it's a big outlay given that I just shelled out 15 grand for the car. Oh well - it'll work out, and like I say, nobody hurt. I'm actually counting my blessings - one of Val's coworkers was in a wreck Friday and she and her 8-year-old daughter were killed. Neither was wearing seat belts, what's up with that? And besides all of you cool cats who expressed concern, when I called my buddies Thursday night to tell that the trip was off, they said "NO Way, we'll come down there and pick your ass up if we have to". As it worked out, I borrowed my son's car (it's a pretty sweet ride too) and just tripped up there in that. But still, it's great to have friends like that - both them and you. Thanks for that. One doesn't get a lot of friends like this and like I say I feel very lucky.

I went to see Billy Connolly earlier this year, and halfway through his show, he stopped talking and started dancing around the stage, singing a kind of medley of Abba songs. He did this for a few minutes (to everyone's bemusement) then said "That's in case you got into the wrong queue outside." It turned out Mamma Mia had just started playing in one of the other theatres in the complex (which I hadn't noticed, since I loathe most musicals) ..... a very funny man!

I always figure that, even when Joni is speaking to "you", she is also speaking to "me", as in "I", as in Joni. I think she's just as tired of the silent night as Ludwig and everybody else, including moi (Silent night - could be on her Christmas album which I hope she doesn't make...) > I didn't get to listen to Joni all weekend and I'm > jonesing a bit.

Could the guy not just make a friggin' photocopy of it or something? If Joni knew, do you think she'd buy it back from him? Would she be pissed off that bits of her private life were being auctioned off? ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 22:57:00 EST From: Smurfycopy@aol.com Subject: Re: skin crawlers (like ABBA) njc Bob writes: > No Catherine - you're confusing it with Polyester, starring Tab Hunter as > Divine's love interest.
