Your list includes so many artists I love and a few of my favorite songs too - Rainy Days and Mondays, The First Time, White Rabbit, Diamonds and Rust, I Cover the Waterfront (Joni would be proud) and Anyone Who Had A Heart (although I love the Dionne Warwick version . . . never heard the Dusty version). See how incredibly different this list is from the RS list? Look how many incredible women singers and songwriters were left off that list of 500. I apologize for leaving off the Lesbians in my first post! You know I love you more than my luggage! Van Lear Rose is super sweet for anyone who likes hardcore country. I don't know how old Loretta Lynn is, but she's up there, and yet she still has that same feisty spirit and strong voice she had 30 years ago. In addition to the fun stuff, there's a beautiful ballad called "I Miss Being Mrs. Tonight" that will touch the heart of anyone who has ever been "divorced."

I was a fan of Dionne's from back when I first heard 'Theme from Valley of the Dolls' and the only song I remembered by Dusty Springfield was 'Son of A Preacher Man'. Then a few years ago, again, because of the JMDL, I bought 'Dusty in Memphis' and fell head over heels in love. I think Dusty's 'Anyone Who Had a Heart' is about as close as you can come to a perfect pop ballad. In addition to the fun stuff, there's a beautiful ballad called > "I Miss Being Mrs. Tonight" that will touch the heart of anyone who > has ever been "divorced." That's what I thought too when I first heard that song. Then I found out that Dooley Lynn had passed away. Gives the song even more weight and poignance.

I kind of lost touch with her ages ago and it was only be hearing/reading people here talking/writing about her that I regained my interest. I just found that her enunciation was never terribly good most of the time. She sounded slurry and drunk most of the time, and it didn't help when she would make these obscure references to things and people, and there was no internet back then to ask someone somewhere just wtf it all meant! In fact, I got Ghostyhead about a year ago and I love it, even though I think it was panned (as in, who does this middle-aged woman think she is, doing this modern trip-hop stuff?) I saw her here in Toronto last year and was totally in love with her again. She was absolutely amazing, as was her band - and she must have taken enunciation lessons because it was easier to understand her words. > I wish she put out more, npi.

David, it's either "Mythical kings and iguanas" or "Reflections in a mudpuddle." You're right about the cover looking kinda like Phoebe Snow's first - it was a side-view headshot and I think they both had curly hair. Several years ago, I managed to find a CD that combined "Mythical kings" and "Mudpuddle" on them and I just had to get it. I loved her stuff too - full of deception, disappointment, depression and other dark things, just the way I likes it ;-) Her lyrics were very clever and not just a little disturbing, but also oddly funny. ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2005 14:37:20 -0800 From: Randy Remote Subject: Top of my head 50 Some artists, Joni, Lennon, Dylan, Stones, Who, Beatles etc have so many great songs, it's just flipping a coin.

It's certainly not a nice song, and it's arguably a sexist song--though the persona singing the song alternately lacerates himself for and revels in his own sexual caddishness: "You gotta be an important person to be in here, honey. You got to have done some evil deed. You gotta have your own harem when you come in the door. You gotta play your harp till your lips bleed." I wonder what attracts Joni to this particular Dylan song. Do you think she's going to have explanatory liner notes on the disc? That would be enough to make me buy it. But the nearest Starbucks is 50 miles away. Can you believe it? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2005 17:25:23 -0700 From: "Les Irvin" Subject: RE: Top of my head 50-- Warning!!!!Dylan Content (but Joni content, too) R Flynn writes: > I wonder what attracts Joni to this particular Dylan song.

I will point out that I've done this fairly quickly, and if I took a few weeks, it would be more accurate, but I haven't got a few weeks to spare. They will probably change tomorrow, and I'll think of five songs I should have included as soon as I hit send.... Also, only one song per artist is a little inaccurate, since there would be several Joni songs (and a few other artists with more than one) in my Top 50, but I'll follow the rules. In no particular order (except for the first 5 - which were all very tough choices): 1. Joni Mitchell - For The Roses 2. Indigo Girls - Nashville 3. Shona Laing * - Thief To Silver 4.

Notaro" Subject: Cher - njc Yes. Bittersweet White Light was the original album title. When she hit it big again believe they finally released it for Valentine's Day with extra tracks and called it that. A very good album from a very young singer long before the trend of doing standards. Am I Blue is on it. I too loved seeing her sing it on her show in dripping white fox.

(Although it would be nice if the Red Sox won the World Series one of these years.) Anyway, I thought what could be gayer than posting to the Joni Mitchell Discussion List during Super Bowl! After all, it is time to put the word out that if we Boston-area people want to get together with Wally as a group while he's visiting from Mexico, we'd better start planning. Wally, do you want to a group thing while you're here - -- as in have a brunch or dinner, you dirtbag -- like last time? Same suspects? Also, what are the dates you'll be here?

I mean the music business part? Or do you think the attraction for Joni is in the political critique Joni has been mounting of late? I mean Dylan is just plain pissed off on all of "Infidels" (and what a great album that could have been had he included songs like "Blind Willie Mc Tell"). Dylan quotes Samuel Johnson in the song, too: "They say that patriotism is the last refuge To which a scoundrel clings" And then the "steal a little" lines from below. I love the song, too, have even been know to play it in some of my little shows. I also think that one of its attractions like much of Dylan is that it's hard to boil down its direct meaning. Some of Joni's best lyrics are like this, too (and for me I think the lyrical high points are "For the Roses" and "Hejira"). A wild conspiracy theory is that something about Joni inspired Dylan write the song. And then it's back to the music biz interpretation: " In order to deal in the game / You make the Queen disappear / It's done with the flick of a wrist." A put down / homage from the King of singer-songwriters to the Queen. (I know I'm full of shit here--I just love to start rumors--maybe I can make that Snopes page!)

Today's Wally's birthday. He almost got there five years ago, missing his 48th by just three days. Although I for the most part chose to mark the sad February 3 anniversary of his death privately, I was happy to read email messages saying that other people, some of whom had never even met him, remembered my friend and wanted to find a way to celebrate Wally and his work. Considering appropriate ways to mark the occasion, I had a thought: Why not give JoniMitchell.com a makeover? My best case scenario was that Les would be able to work on the site. I observed the moment of Wally's passing as Les and I talked on the phone, starting to make plans for the redesign; I realized that I was sitting in the very spot Wally occupied here on the couch when he left us. This feels right, it feels good. It's going to be a huge project, and I'm delighted Les has the time (we all know he has the expertise). The new JoniMitchell.com won't happen overnight - -- it's a big site, after all -- but we're getting started, and I think the end result will be well worth waiting for. I'm sure Wally's happy about this. And that, of course, is the best facelift.

I did not know that Wally, although I am grateful for his work on JoniMitchell.com, a site I visited many times before I ever even heard of the JMDL. Wally Breese wrote a very interesting first-person account of a weekend he spent with Joni. To read it, go here: http://www.jonimitchell.com/JoniTrip.html The other Wally, Wally Kai, is the JMDLer who is visiting Boston from Argentina in February. It has been alleged that this Wally is also the Birthday Fairy. (To anyone who suspects that to be the case, I can guarantee you're at least half right.) By the way, Boston people, I have heard from Wally Kai since my last post, He plans to be in Boston from Feb. 22 - 28.
