I caught the late edition of 'The National' last night. Living close to Canada has its advantages for a Joni fan, for sure! I think many of us feel the way I do about Joni getting this honor and some of the other accolades she has received in recent years. After telling people for so many years how brilliant and exceptional she is, we can now give out with a big fat, 'See?! I told you so!' And it's damn satisfying! The segment is a real treat. There were several moments when my eyes got moist. The affection between Joni & Kilauren is very evident. Seeing my brother with his grown children and their children sometimes gives me a little pang that I am missing something in life even though I know in my heart of hearts that I was not meant to be a father. (This has very little to do with my sexuality and is almost entirely due to my temperament and personality.) I am so happy for Joni that she has her family now. I know it means a great deal to her now in these later years of her life.

In my dweams, Joni revisits DJRD. She hires one of George Martin's engineers to identify which piano parts are slightly out of perfect pitch and isolate them. Then they use that new-fangled pitch box to adjust them. In my dream, the bonus track is a reworking of Paprkia Plains using all of the original text. After that, the unused piano parts that didn't fit. The original album would be a DVD-Audio / CD dual layer. That would be cool. But, she's given us PLENTY! All the best, Jim PS, I love the internet. I put "Our Lady of Duality" into Yahoo! and the *first hit* was my essay of the same name on jonimitchell.com www.jonimitchell.com/Duality.html Now playing at full volume in the living room is something I just got as a used CD: Lucinda Williams's "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road".

We have fought for social justice. We have fought for economic justice. We have fought for environmental justice. We have fought for criminal justice. Now we must add a new fight - the fight for electoral justice. Every citizen of this country who is registered to vote should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth of their community, their vote has as much weight as the vote of any Senator, any Congressperson, any President, any cabinet member, or any CEO of any Fortune 500 Corporation. I am sure that every one of my colleagues - Democrat, Republican, and Independent - agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal. So now it seems to me that under the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees the right to vote, we must ask: Why did voters in Ohio wait hours in the rain to vote? Why were voters at Kenyan College, for example, made to wait in line until nearly 4 a.m. to vote because there were only two machines for 1300 voters? Why did poor and predominantly African-American communities have disproportionately long waits? Why in Franklin County did election officials only use 2,798 machines when they said they needed 5,000? Why did they hold back 68 machines in warehouses? Why were 42 of those machines in predominantly African-American districts? Why did, in Columbus area alone, an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 voters leave polling places, out of frustration, without having voted? How many more never bothered to vote after they heard about this? Why is it when 638 people voted at a precinct in Franklin County, a voting machine awarded 4,258 extra votes to George Bush. Thankfully, they fixed it - but how many other votes did the computers get wrong? Why did Franklin County officials reduce the number of electronic voting machines in downtown precincts, while adding them in the suburbs? This also led to long lines. In Cleveland, why were there thousands of provisional ballots disqualified after poll workers gave faulty instructions to voters? Because of this, and voting irregularities in so many other places, I am joining with Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones to cast the light of truth on a flawed system which must be fixed now. Our democracy is the centerpiece of who we are as a nation. And it is the fondest hope of all Americans that we can help bring democracy to every corner of the world. As we try to do that, and as we are shedding the blood of our military to this end, we must realize that we lose so much credibility when our own electoral system needs so much improvement. Yet, in the past four years, this Congress has not done everything it should to give confidence to all of our people their votes matter. After passing the Help America Vote Act, nothing more was done. A year ago, Senators Graham, Clinton and I introduced legislation that would have required that electronic voting systems provide a paper record to verify a vote. That paper trail would be stored in a secure ballot box and invaluable in case of a recount. There is no reason why the Senate should not have taken up and passed that bill. At the very least, a hearing should have been held. But it never happened. Before I close, I want to thank my colleague from the House, Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Her letter to me asking for my intervention was substantive and compelling. As I wrote to her, I was particularly moved by her point that it is virtually impossible to get official House consideration of the whole issue of election reform, including these irregularities. The Congresswoman has tremendous respect in her state of Ohio, which is at the center of this fight. Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones was a judge for 10 years. She was a prosecutor for 8 years. She was inducted into the Women's Hall of Fame in 2002. I am proud to stand with her in filing this objection. =================================================== U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) sent the following letter to Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones on January 5, 2005: January 5, 2005 The Honorable Stephanie Tubbs Jones 1009 Longworth H.O.B. U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Representative Tubbs Jones: I am in receipt of your letter that spelled out concerns about the election irregularities in Ohio during the November 2004 election. The fact that you are from Ohio and that you are a former judge gives great weight and much credibility to the points you cited and to your plea that these issues be addressed by the Congress. I was particularly moved by your point that it is virtually impossible to get official House consideration of the whole issue of election reform, including these irregularities. I have concluded that objecting to the electoral votes from Ohio is the only immediate way to bring these issues to light by allowing you to have a two-hour debate to let the American people know the facts surrounding Ohio's election. I will therefore join you in your objection to the certification of Ohio's electoral votes. Attached is my signature on a copy of your written objection. Sincerely, Barbara Boxer United States Senator =================================================== For more information on Senator Boxer's record and other information, please go to: http://www.boxer.senate.gov If you would like to make a comment regarding this or any other federal matter, please feel free to do so at: http://www.boxer.senate.gov/contact/webform.cfm If this message reached you in error, or if you would like to cancel your subscription, please reply to this message with unsubscribe in the subject line. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2005 23:10:27 -0800 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: Re: NJC gotta revolution?

Yeah, now that you mention it, the soundtrack for a couple of those is on the "Jefferson Airplane Loves You" box set. I guess they must not have been too ashamed of them if they included them on the box set. As I recall the sound is mostly Grace chanting in her trippiest, vibrato-less, laser voice 'Right no-ow...in your white Lee-ee-vis' over and over again. > > But do we even know that Kantner, Balin, et al. even own their own > copyrights these days. I was wondering about this myself. I got out my cd copy of 'Volunteers' to check which members wrote the title track. I knew Balin was partially responsible because he's told the story often enough of waking up one morning in the Haight to the sound of a garbage truck outside his window. He looked out and the name of the waste disposal company was painted on the truck - Volunteers of America. Look what's happening out in the street, blah, blah, blah. He co-wrote the song with Paul Kantner. If it was Marty's song alone I wouldn't have been at all surprised that he would sell the rights for it to anybody for anything. The guy started out writing songs like 'Comin' Back to Me' and ended up doing junk like that stupid 'Hearts' song he recorded in the early 80s I think. Quite a long way down to that squirt of cheez whiz. I would be a bit more surprised to hear that Kantner had agreed to the E-Trade ad, though. > > Makes me long for airbrushed Dylan (looking like Liz Taylor in the > White Diamonds commercial) selling Victoria's Secret.
