It was irritating at first though. When it first came out in the theatres, I TRIED to go. Which is quite a step for anti-social me - I usually don't go to movies - just wait for the video. But I tried, and couldn't find it showing! I mean it hit town ever so briefly and then was gone. phffft! There's no doubt in my mind that some person or some "people" didn't want it to linger, since it is quite an indictment of the greedy state ruiners that (on paper) "own" Florida and are paving it as we speak. I thought that Edie Falco was miscast tho. (and I adore Edie Falco, just strange in that role) The folks that played her parents tho, Ralph Waite and that wonderful woman who's name I don't know, were fantastic - I loved them. Anyway, tho fiction, it was a fairly accurate portrait of this state, I felt, seen from a certain angle. As far as "owning" Florida, I prefer what one of the goddesses of my brain, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, wrote about her beloved Cross Creek: "Cross Creek belongs to the wind and the rain, to the sun and the seasons, to the cosmic secrecy of seed, and beyond all, to time." :) Em - --- jrmco1@aol.com wrote: > Hey, nothing personal against the Sunshine State, Emmy.

Joni Mitchell Artist's Choice(TM) and Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs are exclusively available at Starbucks Company-operated stores in North America. Starbucks Hear Music's newest CD releases provide unique insight into Mitchell's singular genius: - -- Joni Mitchell Artist's Choice(TM) consists of eighteen of Mitchell's favorite songs. Featuring song-by-song commentary written by Mitchell, the album provides a revealing glimpse into the artist's personal and aesthetic inspirations, which are as richly diverse as her own musical catalogue. As her celebrated forays into the genre would suggest, jazz (the DeBussy classic "Clare de Lune," Billie Holiday's "Solitude," Miles Davis' "It Never Entered My Mind," and more) figures prominently in Mitchell's selections. Among the album's surprises are Chuck Berry's "Johnny Be Good" and the New Radicals' "You Get What You Give." - -- Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs is a collection of Mitchell's songs, all of which were selected for inclusion on the album by a broad range of friends and fellow musicians who have been influenced by the legendary artist. Participants include Prince, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and Chaka Khan. For the first time since Starbucks Hear Music launched its popular Opus(TM) series in February 2001, world renowned artists were asked to choose their favorite song from a fellow musician's catalogue and their picks formed the album. "By the end of the 20th century it seemed to me that the muse had gone out of music and all that was left was the 'ic,'" Joni Mitchell said. "Nothing sounded genuine or original. Truth and beauty were passe. I got the picture. I quit the business. I volunteered to take part in the Starbucks Hear Music project in order to force myself to review the songs and compositions that, over the course of my life, really got to me. I was about to receive an honorary doctorate in music and I needed to remember what it was that I had once loved about it." "We are honored to have had the opportunity to team with Joni Mitchell, a true music legend, to offer our customers, who are passionate music fans, the chance to learn more about her musical inspirations and the impact she's had on other world-renowned musicians," said Ken Lombard, president, Starbucks Entertainment. "We are delighted to be able to offer our customers unique perspective on Joni Mitchell's talent and musical legacy." Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs is a musical testament to the impact Mitchell has had on other world-renowned singers and songwriters: - -- About his choice of "Free Man in Paris" (from the album Court and Spark), Bob Dylan says "I always liked this song because I'd been to Paris and understood what being a free man there was all about ... I'm not so sure that the meaning I heard in the song was what Joni intended, but I couldn't stop listening to it." - -- "It's nearly impossible to choose between the intimate, emotionally raw songs of Blue and the novelist's eye for details in a portrait song such as 'Shades of Scarlet Conquering,'" explains Elvis Costello. "I chose 'For The Roses' (from the album of the same name) for inclusion on Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs because it is somewhere in between -- there are tiny details of a lover's infidelity, but the musical tone is also confidential and it sets up a bold and unflinching look at an artist trying to detach from the deceits of fame." To purchase either CD, go to a Starbucks Company-operated store in North America, or visit: www.starbucks.com or www.hearmusic.com.

Was delighted all anew at the arrangements and great natural sounding instruments. Had never even really "heard" the subtle right hand channel guitar part in AIW. I mean I guess I heard it as part of the whole, but I always thought that tune was dulcimer only. And then I read the (tiny printed) credits, and its JT playing. And then I listened again, and I could TELL it was JT playing - could ID the playing sorta! So that was fun. I like how he did that. He truly "accompanied". And embellished too, but sooooooo subtely. So enjoyable. anyway, just sharing my thoughts... :) Em ps: another thought that occured to me, all the songs were copyrighted 1971 except LG which was '67. Seems like such a jump in years, so much happened in those years - but it was only 4. Like 2001 is to "now". And 2001 to now seems like a heartbeat.

Although Schwartz has borrowed freely from the narrative strategies of those giants, using lyrics to advance the plot and develop characters, his harmony and melodies are audibly influenced by the pop icons of the 1960s and early '70s: the Beatles, Motown, James Taylor, Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell.

I know these are not your statistics, Brad-this has been passed around for some time. The most misleading thing about it is the "accidental gun deaths per year" statistic, because it is a fraction of the total gun deaths which is about 30,000 per year in the US, over half of them from suicides, most of the rest homicides. Also, gun injuries, many of them near-deaths or disabling wounds are around 200,000, and the medical costs are estimated to be over $900 million/year, and 13 million in lost productivity. http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/TUTORIAL/GUNS/GUNSTAT.html On the other hand, the figure for doctor-related death is too low, it should be 250,000/yr, making doctors a leading cause of death. Half of these are "non-error, negative effects of drugs". http://www.mercola.com/2000/jul/30/doctors_death.htm On the other other hand, homicides are fairly low on the list of causes of death: 17,000/yr (all types) compared to 340,000 for tobacco, 150,000 for alcohol (and add 50% of highway deaths and 65% of all murders), 710,000 for heart disease, 553,000 for cancer. (Granted, some of these are old people). If I were into risk assessment, I'd say avoid cigarettes, prescription drugs, alcohol, fast food, hospital treatment. Also, your cause of death is more likely to be self inflicted than not! A couple of years ago, a friend of mine was shot and killed by a criminal who thought my friend had witnessed him committing a crime. Ironically, my friend was very fond of his guns, and probably had one within reach when he was shot in his bed. It didn't save him. When I think of people I know who have died before their time, cancer wins, alcohol/substance/ smoking abuse is next (sometimes this takes years), with highway deaths a close third.
