It just really stood out when I was listening to the interview and like others I am always looking for clues to this most interesting person ............... :-)) thanks to whoever recorded it (some "front range" location according to the station ID) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 23:36:54 -0600 From: "mackoliver" Subject: Re: OMG Janis Joplin reality show NJC For goodness sakes. mack ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 00:40:57 EST From: BRYAN8847@aol.com Subject: Re: Fresh Air Interview - More Subject: Re: Fresh Air interview Who knows what more was happening in Joni's life back then, more that we know little or nothing about? Perhaps indeed the child was "taken," I don't know. But apparently it seemed that way to Joni at the time. Most people though, as years go by, realize the part they played in their own victimhood, in most situations, and develop a more balanced and less self-centered point of view. Again I don't know what really happened in 1965 but I do know that Joni seems to take the victim position in a number of contexts, business, personal, whatever. That seems kind of sad to me.

Maybe skipping Zep was a patriotic thing on the part of the organizers. You know: we'll slight the Brits but make some time for a big ole', happy salute to "Southern Rock". Yeee-haw! I like Lynard Skynard's music and all but when I saw Skynard in 74 or so, they used a huge "rebel" flag as a backdrop. I don't think it was used at the Grammy Awards. (For JMDLers outside the US, I'll say this: The confederate army, which was fighting basically to preserve slavery, flew what we now call "the rebel flag". It's occasionally seen as a bumpersticker and to many people it simply means "regional pride".) I know the confederate flag when I see it. It doesn't represent my vision of the US; "Amerika, the ugly" is closer. To me, that flag rightfully carries a negative connotation. How could it be otherwise? A Nazi flag will never mean simply "regional pride". It's probably just 30 year old baggage on my part but that memory of the confederate flag is another reason I didn't feel comfortable with glossing over the Staple Singers. If you give several loooong minutes to "Free Bird", you better come across with some "equal time". Sheeeeee. The world's 2nd most opinionated man, Lama From: Michael Paz [mailto:michael@thepazgroup.com] Good fecking point! But I don't think Plant was there. I did see Jimmy and John Paul Jones. That would have been da bomb! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 00:34:13 -0600 From: "mackoliver" Subject: Re: Anybody watch the Grammy Awards? > (For JMDLers outside the US, I'll say this: The confederate army, which was > fighting basically to preserve slavery, Definitely a Yankee viewpoint. Slavery was wrong. But they were fighting because they didn't want the North telling them how to run their business. And regardless, a lot of young men lost their lives in that war. I love that flag but hate the slavery. mack ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 02:29:17 EST From: JRMCo1@aol.com Subject: Re: Anybody watch the Grammy Awards? lama writes: > Maybe skipping Zep was a patriotic thing on the part of the organizers. > You > know: we'll slight the Brits but make some time for a big ole', happy salute > to "Southern Rock". Yeee-haw! > THANK YOU, JIM! I can't endure it any longer...I hate that feckin' song ("Sweet Home Alabama") and every time I hear it I have to resist the urge to hurl. I've always seen it as a segregationist anthem and a diss of the good intentions of Neil Young. Does no one listen to lyrics at all anymore? I thought it was the height of ignorance when Ruben Studdard, a black man, started singing it on "American Idol" and on tour...with a gospel choir!!! What an imbecile! And what the frick was Elvin Bishop doing up there? He's a BLUES ROCKER from Northern California!! I wish that plane had never crashed, then Skynard'd probably only exist as an Allman Brothers cover band.
