Possibly even more. I also have her debut album, Love In The Time Of Science from about 2001, which is more electronic (Bjork is more of a reference there) but only slightly less lovely. It seems that Kennedy's debut album Great War Of Words is being reissued next month in the UK; I came across it on amazon while researching 1990 releases for my database. I missed it first time around, so I may take the plunge with the re-issue! Best wishes, Jason. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2005 05:56:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: The Joni Mitchell Room Funny that these are being mentioned - I used the one of Joni looking up into the Clouds as the Cover art for Volume 66, and Paprika Plains is the cover art for Volume 67.

She's sending me her CD with the Joni cover and some other goodies as well. She also sent me the setlist for Sunday night's show as well as the instrumentation set-up. I expected to see the same old, same old, and of course there is a certain amount of that. (How could you do a Joni trib and not perform BYT, BSN, Woodstock?) but there are some big surprises as well. Since Les is going I won't share the specifics with the list yet, but I was very impressed. Les, you are in for quite an event - enjoy and report, sir.

Gail is doing well and will probably get out of ICU Sunday. I wrote a long and very detailed post late last night after I spoke w/ Julius and then my hand slipped on the keyboard and the post disappeared! Merde! I hate it when that happens! I sent up my prayer and now I wonder, where did it go?????? I had put my heart & soul into it -- and Julius's, too, I think. Oh, sour grapes, because I lost my post! I have to run out, but I couldn't leave you all wondering, so for now, this will have to do. And if I had to pick ONE word to sum up the way Julius sounded, it would be "ebullient" (and, of course, you know......). So be at peace, cher(e)s ami(e)s, knowing that Gail is in wonderful hands (Julius just RAVES about all the doctors and nurses and techs) and that they are both in great spirits. Carpe diem, and shower the people you love with love!

Now I am merely an occasional visitor to the JMDL. I know I miss out on a lot, but I trust that anything truly important will make its way to me via another email address or the phone. "Truly important" includes the health of everyone here, and the health of your loved ones. Although I don't always chime in when somone has asked for thoughts or prayer, please know that I keep all of you in my thoughts -- and prayers -- daily. The JMDL has given me more than I can adequately express here or by any other means. Thank you, ALL of you, for making this place what it is. Extraordinary. A "home" in cyberspace, for me anyway. I actually started this email to mention something else entirely, but it meandered where it has and so ... I'll be around.

It does this neat "thread wrapping" that rolls all the email in one thread into one line item. You can scan up to 100 different threads on one screen, which may represent many hundreds of emails. Click on a subject and the related posts will open like folders in a file cabinet. I've used the program for probably 6 months now, and so far it hasn't been too annoying in the directed advertisement area. On the other hand, I use it primarily for JMDL mail and little else. I always seem to have 50 "invitations" for Gmail accounts to give away (as do other Gmail users, I'm sure). If you'd like one, let me know and I'll send an invitation your way. Please do realize that Gmail won't help you much if you're already on "digest" mode, but it WILL do a great job of organizing your mail if you s*ubscribe to the "individual post" method. I receive no compensation of any kind for inviting people to use Gmail. I just like the way it works for my JMDL mail. Happy Saturday, everyone!

It's not that bad, but looks more like an emaciated blond Christina Ricci.

The Vanity Fair horoscope from the August '05 issue cracked me up because it sounded so like Joni: "Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 21: Scorpios are not intellectuals, by any stretch of the imagination. They are guided instead by a being that dwells in the gut. When the ruler of their 3rd house is transiting their 9th, an angel of higher consciousness has been known to speak through Scorpios, giving them an almost mystical perspective on human behavior, their own included. Right now, you might be reaping the rewards of listening to your higher self. Unfortunately, that being is sometimes more like the creature from Alien -- and it's hard to tell which is which." Okay, she's admitted to not being an intellectual, "Ray's Dad's Cadillac" and her admission of reading nothing but comic books before she got to Mr. Kratzman's class are cases in point. "Mystical perspective on human behavior" ... name an album, any album. Is the "higher self" they're talking about her disdain of the music business and art in general? Hmmm. Just wanted to share that little amusement.
