NJC Thanks Suze, it's out this Friday on terrestrial tv to accompany the new season... I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Hopefully the production company (http://www.vital-productions.com) will have it on their website soon as they seem rather proud of it. Otherwise I'll try and get you a copy of it with the FrenchJonifesters. Will you not be coming to the JoniFrance? Jamie Zoob - --- Suze Cameron wrote: > > Speaking of which, Jamie!!! Congrats!

Also, if you're a fan, look for "The Salmon of Doubt", which was the sketch for his next book which someone lovingly stitched together from entries on his 15 or so MacIntoshes -- anyway, this should keep me busy for a week or so.

The panel included Joe Levy - a Managing Editor of Rolling Stone, Bobby Colomby - a music producer and former member of a famous group (can't remember which) and Lola Ogunnuke - Cultural Reporter for the NY Times. Here is a portion of their discussion. I was so excited that of all the singers that could have been mentioned, Katie chose you know who! I was very proud of her for that. Katie - "Lets talk about some of the great artists of our generation... You think about people like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell...They would not make the first cut on this show, right Joe?" Joe - "Not Dylan, not Springsteen, Joni Mitchell might. She has a beautiful voice and she was extremely, extremely beautiful when she started and that's the truth. " - ------------ Yay! They have Dugout! Je veux dire, comme dirai notre Smurf bleu, ils on du gout! (I mean, as our blue Smurf would say, they have taste.) And Joe from RS saying she was "extremely, extremely beautiful when she started and that's the truth." Damned right. She walks on water -- you be polite! So be it and AMEN and right on, Brother Joe. S I Q U O M B ! ! ! I love all the Joni mentions lately. It means Joni is becoming classic, eternal. Her songs ARE like tattoes! Yesterday I had another Joni moment traveling in my vehicle. "Woodstock" by CSNY had just ended, and the DJ (not SteepleJack on WHUS, some other DJ on some other station -- WDRC, an "oldies" station) said: "That was Crosby Stills Nash and Young singing "Woodstock", which was of course written by Joni Mitchell. (Me now: Yay! *Of course*, you ignorant imbeciles who don't know!!! lol....) (Now hear me cheering in my vehicle..... *it's Mitchell time!*) Then he went on to say: "Of course Joni had a lot of fun with all of those guys -- David Crosby, Graham Nash, Steven Stills and Neil Young (me again: I'm not sure the word was "fun", maybe it was "got around", but there was DEFINITELY a suggestion of uh, sexual dalliances, at least to my ears) but we won't go down that street now..." Whatever. Joan's the Word! Amen, amen, amen, amen, Sister Mary Patricia, certified J.M.O.C.D, of the Very Holy Order of St. Joan d'Art of Sasketoon Oh Canada NPIMH (again!): If you think that love isn't found on the radio well tune right in........... it sounded really loud they said it really loud on the radio whoa oh oh JONI MITCHELL on the radio whoa oh oh on the radio whoa oh oh JONI MITCHELL on the radio whoa oh oh on the radio whoa oh oh on the radio, radio, radio (fade) (Donna Summer) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 May 2005 12:31:24 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: Casting sessions for the film of Joni's life... >Jumping on this thread WAY late, but there was an American tv show in the 80s called the Wonder Years, and the daughter was this hippy type who I thought looked a lot like Joni. Olivia D'Abo? Was that her? I think she's English. Is she the one I am thinking of??? Suze< I think you are right about her name & I agree that she'd be the perfect person to play joni (at least the her that was in that show... she's a bit older now so may not fit the part as much) I loved that show & my sister & I were always amazed at how well it portrayed those times... I was so much like that older hippy daughter... often times we'd see certain props used on the show that we actually had in our house during the 60's! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 May 2005 12:33:24 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: RE: Lady Mondegreen and llamas Bob >Well, it's nothing that Joni ever wrote about, Kate - her lyric is "beneath the MATALLA moon" as in Matalla, Crete where she was with Carey< Glad to hear most people sing it that way, it wasn't til I arrived here at the jmdl about 5 years ago that I learned the correct word. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 May 2005 12:49:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: GitV?

(9/22/85) The audio is available along with "The Three Great Stimulants" from the same performance. IMO, the classic unplugged DED performance is the 1985 'Rock Master Class', which features a funny and very informative interview with Joni & Klein, and acoustic performances of DED & Impossible Dreamer on piano & Stimulants on guitar. There's also a Piano Improv that she does in Paprika Plains style that I think is very cool. That recording is available on the JMDL P2P Network I think.

Most emotional responses are tied to survival somehow. They say the longest lasting sense is smell which would be useful for staying away from stagnant water, etc. The "love" thing keeps families together so the children can grow up to reproduce. So, why do we react to music? Is it a genetic accident? I think these are philosophical questions; I don't think there are definitive answers.

Pretty funny. My sister speaks German, but started to 'get' what a French accent is by the time we boarded the plane back for the states. Much to our amusement, one of the crew had to read the safety instructions, etc. in French. He had the worst accent I've heard. Even Joan was rolling in the aisles. I even though maybe I should offer to read it all for him, but I'm sure I'd still be trying to bail myself out from some prison for terrorists or such. So, I'm like a silly lovesick puppy.
