I've been away for a while and am busy catching up on the Digest....the ones I have, anyway. There's a ghost or a demon in this computer and for some unknown reason I lost all of my e-mails until a few days ago. A belated Happy Independance Day to all with wishes that each and every Joni lover enjoyed a wonderful weekend. The death of Luther Vandross was shocking and so disturbing. This man was such an inspiration as he battled his weight problems (11 times I heard in an interview with him) and the magnificent gift of his velvet voice and love of performing will be missed by so many people. Of course, we can listen with gratitude to his CD's but I began to really think about how special each and every day is and perhaps his death has encouraged us....world-wide to pay close attention to how we live our days....to the best of our potential?....to the fullest? Special note to Marianne....I'm doing a lot of research for you and my next posting (maybe later today) will include some suggestions for you to consider. It's a wonderful feeling to feel a connection with you amazing people who contribute to the Digest. Joni reaches out in so many ways and touches our souls and our lives with immeasurable blessings.

Anyway, every now and again I like to send a report from the old East Germany. This afternoon I was driving to pick up my wife (who had taken her work car home and I didn4t know, so I was sitting across the street just hanging out for 30 minutes untiol it dawned on me to check inside her office!)(DUHHHHHHHHH) but anyway, on the way there I had the wondows open and was playing "For The Roses". A couple (above named) were sitting eating Ice Cream and heard the music. Uve approached the car and asked if I could turn it up a bit as they simply loved Joni. I rewound the tape starting from the start and we sat and listened until the end. We actually wound up hugging each other, wishing each other all the very best life could bring, and a broad smile in the knowledge that we were able to "connect" across culture, language, and time. A most cool afternoon, and thought about sharing it with you all, as most of you are just waking up and getting your morning finished.

Okay, you asked for it! Now I'm whirring back to 1968, when I got my first Joni album. I'm tripping down the halls of my high school, smiling at everybody I see, and I'm hearing another song about peace and love, that was one of the top 100 hits of 1968. I know, I know, it's a little bit corny, but I always loved it. So, Marianne, I hope you will put this one on your CD. And hey, maybe Stardusts -- no, I mean Starbucks -- will sell it for us as "Joni Mitchell's Lunatic Fringe Fans' Favorite Songs of Peace and Love and Harmony" and all the proceeds can go to buying Joni's childhood home and turning it into a Joni museum AND a tree museum AND a Home for Aging JMOCD Children -- but NOT a parking lot, you sassy irreverent fresh boy Smurf!!!. Julius honey, you are the marketing genius -- can we do this? (No, you say? There is no market for this CD except on the JMDL, and that is just one big Circle Game?) But if we COULD sell it, and if there were any extra money left over, we could used it to buy Proud-Headed Papa Pazzie and Blue Boy tickets to La Jonifest Francaise. It seems such a shame that the Jonifests that started out so kind could continue so Paz & Smurf-lessly! (and you know.....) Oops, sorry. Got a little carried away there! Back to the song..... Hey Marianne, here are some lyrics for you Inside the JMDL you'll hear a groaning sigh For this corny silly try There is your song for your CD from meeeeeeeeeeeee! - ----------- Reach Out of the Darkness by Friend and Lover I think it's so groovy now That people are finally getting together I thinks it's so wonderful and how That people are finally getting together Reach out in the darkness Reach out in the darkness Reach out in the darkness And you may find a friend I knew a man that I did not care for And then one day this man gave me a call We sat and talked about things on our mind And now this man he is a friend of mine Don't be afraid of love Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to love Everybody needs a little love Everybody needs somebody That they can be thinking of - -------- Thinkin' of y'all, a wildflower waving in the Joni wind that carries me, Patti P. P.S. In googling the "Reach Out of the Darkness" lyrics, I came across a Mondegreen (is that how you spell it?). Someone thought part of the lyrics were "Freak out in the garden, freak out in the garden...." LOL....we've got to get ourselves back to the freakin' GARDEN, people! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 10:43:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Smurf Subject: Re: njc, Marianne's peace and love and harmony project Patti wrote: << if there were any extra money left over, we could used it to buy Proud-Headed Papa Pazzie and Blue Boy tickets to La Jonifest Francaise.

Also, speaking of Mondegreens, during the 4th of July festivities I heard "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and remembered that when I was a boy, I thought the words were "Bomb every mountainside, let freedom ring."

It seems she believes that a feminist (a person who, according to the dictionary, believes in equal rights in society and under the law for both sexes) cannot be "domestic," cannot enjoy cooking and beautifying a home. I guess that is an attitude that many of us have. It's one I've grappled with myself -- how can I be standing up for my rights as a woman while still doing the majority of cooking and cleaning in my own home (which pisses me off partly because I've felt taken advantage of and feel ashamed of myself for allowing it). It's taken me some time to realize that the doing of these things -- creating order and cleanliness and beauty in my surroundings for myself and my loved ones -- providing nourishment -- these are things I have chosen to do, they are not forced on me. They are important to me. Now is that because I am a woman? Maybe. But I should certainly not feel belittled by the choice I have made. And it sure as hell doesn't make me "not" a feminist. Sheesh. I'd like to have a little talk with that Joni.

One of the speakers at the McGill colloquium, which is online somewhere, gave a very good talk about Joni and feminism. Apparently the antipathy between Joni and the feminist movement goes way back, and is mutual. The speaker was, very successfully, I think, giving everybody some slack. djp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 18:53:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Joni on Roxana Amed's "Amelia" Subject: Re: Donovan - - and other summer shows, njc <> That's interesting...I'm gonna have to check those two songs out.
