What an idiot! And I've always thought that the particular verse he's referring to is: Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees Please So he didn't even get the words right. Anyway, this is one of her most popular songs, which IMO says more about the the listeners than it does about the artist, except that she was clever enough to write something that appeals to many more people than just her die-hard fans.

She and I are not that far apart in age, but she's a veteran in the folkworld; if you know the Roche's history, you know what I mean. She almost winced when I told her I wanted to "be like her," saying, "I wouldn't wish this business on my worst enemy."< suzy is great... unfortunately I missed her singing with her sisters but she came to my town a few years ago for a solo performance & was so entertaining... very approachable & I can see why you would feel comfortable giving her your cd... how generous of her to listen & write you... in our conversation I recall she had a daughter whose dad I thought she said was a wainwright? Did I make that up? >Still waiting to hear from Joni, who was handed my CD by a friend, at a gallery opening in CA the same year.< a brave woman you are patti! I am not sure I'd have the nerve to give my cd to joni but maybe through a friend is a safer route... I've given my cds to richie havens & to stacy earle- both very gracious in accepting saying they looked forward to listening on the plane/in the car... no letters although richie signed a tshirt I bought (of his after a concert) & he wrote 'to kate a friend forever, richie havens" LOL... I told him I'd seen him at Woodstock & been a longtime admirer of his... no letters though! When I met shawn colvin (didn't have my cd yet) we spoke briefly & I told her I was a songwriter & her reply was 'good luck!"...

Granted, she's his Mom - so I would certainly give her the benefit of the doubt as far as knowing her son's true heart, but others think he might say something like "Mom, I *wanted* to give to my country - even my life" instead.< This is a very emotional issue for me so I hope I don't offend you em... I think anyone judging cindy & trying to second guess her son's heart is way out of bounds... they can speak about their own kids but have no place when it comes to her son... they are the same kind of people who every parent has met along the road of raising a child who think they can judge another parent's skills at child raising from afar... >I'm just throwing that out there because that's how some people think. This one friend of mine swears CS is inadvertently dishonoring her son's service, and his intent to serve even to the point of death. That she is somehow diminishing his service. This is the kind of mindset, imo, that cannot hold two disparate ideas together as being related... cindy is a hero as is her son is a hero... I cannot imagine the grief cindy must be feeling... to take that & to go out to texas & sit in a ditch (alone at first) is to me the ultimate act of courage... she could have gone home & sat in her room & cried & nobody would have blaimed her... she is like rosa parks who refused to sit at the back of the bus... this is the oldest form of civil disobedience & imo at the heart of our democracy (voting used to be but that has been so corrupted) I can understand why cindy's path is threatening to many people... they don't want to believe that young people may have died for a cause that might be less than noble... instead of seeing that despite the motives for war, the young people fighting it are admirable... I believe this war is deeply corrupt but I also believe these young people who have gone & have died deserve to be heros for doing what they believed was right... however there are always shades of grey which is what cindy is pointing out (black & white thinkers don't like the grey areas) which is the recruiting that goes on, the money that is handed very young kids upfront, to kids that don't see many job options out there, & the lies that are sometimes told to them... before any war supporters jump down my throat let me remind you that I have a son in law & a nephew in the service >This stuff is all really hard.

Cindy Sheehan from the blog smurf sent us... I am blown away that anyone would dare open their mouth to criticize cindy... I believe everyone has a right to criticize those of who hate this war... but how dare anyone tell a grieving mother what she can or cannot do as she struggles to make sense of the death of her son... I know there are other parents out their who are mourning the death of their child lost to this war who do not agree with cindy... I don't believe there is anyone who would dare tell them how they ought to behave or that they should join cindy in protest... so how come there are those who would ask that of cindy... anyone criticizing a grieving mother is a Neanderthal imo I am probably sounding like a broken record but I feel that cindy's protest is monumental both personally & historically ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2005 15:36:14 -0500 From: Michael Paz Subject: They're trying to wash us away again (NJC) Hi Gang It's happening again.

Its no leap whatesoever to say that I agree with every word you wrote. Completely! In fact it is my Texas friend who has me bewildered. She says in the 60's she was very anti-war. Vocally so, even. Then her brother went to Vietnam (not drafted I don't think) and she says things turned around 180 degrees for her. From there on out, she says, it was "her job" to support the effort that he'd been sent over to. Kate, it nearly GAGS me. And yet the person laying this stuff on me is someone I care about. Someone with whom I share a couple of important interests (Texas music among them)..and yet sheesh....I can't even begin to argue with her. The "fervor" is so intense. She mows me down like a lawn. It wears me down. Anyway, thanks for writing down your thoughts on this. Its crystal clear to me, though I have no children.

Oh, Jonilistie Em, there's NO place like HOME! I am really running behind the times, and have only just skimmed the surface of all the digests and wonderful Joni Fest accounts and photos, but from what little I have seen, I have loved them all. Love is a story told, someone once said, so thank you all for sharing them! It sure does sound like you found an unpaved paradise and got back to the garden. And the children -- how cool that you could bring them! You are teaching your children well, Queens Lulu of England and Catherine of Toronto! (You who are on the road, must have a Joni-code that you can live by!) Okay, now for the promised sjc. Come fly with me! Flying back from Utah (having visited my parents and brothers) with my son Christopher and his girfriend Ashley, I was contemplating and looking at the clouds from both sides now of the airplane windows when the loudspeaker came on: "Look out the left, the captain said, the lights over there -- that's a lightning storm." (Honest to God, those were almost his exact words!) My first-ever lightning storm viewed from ABOVE the clouds, and it was cool. It came to pass, like lightning striking from above -- electric flash on this flight tonight. Kewl!!! But after a while I began to get a little restless, so I picked up the in-flight magazine ("American Way") and was quickly immersed in a nice article on Alanis Morissette and her life in and love for the Monterey Bay area (Julius and Gail country, no?). Oh, but California! California! (Sorry, folks, the old JMOCD is coming back in full force -- I can feel it!) It was a neat little travelogue/travel guide/restaurant review of the area. I say restaurant guide because she mentions food a lot: Come to the dinner gong, the table (interview) is laden high with talk of food-glorious-food such as wasabi mashed potatoes and seared ahi tuna steak over noodles in a soy-based broth and incredible salads and hefty huevos rancheros slathered with homemade salsa and Chardonnay and "Selma's Cookies" ("the best cookies on the planet") and Ambrosia burgers....mmmmm! And you know there may be more! (At this point I want to tell the flight attendant on this flight tonight that I'm very hungry now for a sweeter fare than this dumb tiny bag of pretzels and plastic tumbler of diet Coke!) Sorry, I digressed. Okay, so I'm reading along, when what to my wondering eyes should appear, out of the BLUE, but the name of our SIQUOMB! It should have been no big surprise, of course, for we all know Alanis admires Joni, but still.....! I had been Joni-deprived for 10 days so of course it was a thrill. She's my thrill She does something to me She send chills right through me When I see her name in print 'Cause she's my thrill She's my thrill How my pulse increases I just go to pieces When I see her name 'Cause she's my ONLY thrill On this flight tonight. (Oops! Quote the article, Patti, quote the article! Calm thyself!) - ----------- What are you listening to when you're cruising around from Monterey to Carmel to Big Sur? I listen to a band called Magnet. They're from Norway. Great driving music. I always make mix CDs and do mixes on my iPod, so it'll be everything from Joni Mitchell to Magnet. - --------- (Hello Oddmund, strange strange-named boy from Norway, fellow JMOCDisordered/incessant quoter of Joni -- do you know this group?) Okay, I know, I know. This is not that big of a Joni-deal, but I am still in a state of Joni-arousal. And I want to share it! So I lean across the aisle and tap Chris on the arm. He takes off his headphones (He's got the headphones up high and is probably thinking: Can't numb you out, Mom, Can't drum you out of my mind!) and gives me his quizzical look. I think he's starting to see "the look of Joni-love" in my eyes, because he rolls his and mouths: "What???" over the roar of droning engines. I'm as bright as a neon-light as I give him the magazine and point to Joni's name. He shakes his head and tells me that I'll never change! I insist that he show Ashley (they have teased me CONSTANTLY this whole trip whenever I mention Joni, which I admit, has been rather frequently), and he indulges me so he can numb me out and get back to his DVD. (The years have spun by and now my boy is twenty-something, and he knows well-enough from our shared circle game that when Mama gets like this there is no end 'til he complies.) Ashley reads it and nods and smiles across the aisle and they hand it back to me. I consider sharing it with the jovial people behind me, but then get control of myself. I slip the magazine into my travel satchel to share later w/ Julius and all of you. Soon enough, up go the flaps and down go the wheels, heatwaves on the runway as the wheels set down, and I'm taking my baggage off the carousel, and it's home again, home again, jiggedy jig, to shower off the dust and sleep on the strange pillows of my wanderlust and my chronic JMOCD. You can see the interview yourself here: www.americanwaymag.com. Unfortunately the web article is minus (the minus is loveless!) many of the picture postcard charm photos that are in the printed version. And readers beware: this article might make you hungry, as well as give you travel fever and and a bad case of wanderlust. (I want to go to California now! And I want to faire pee pee on Lieve's throne and see a shooting star in the midnight sky over la belle France! And I then I want to go to Amsterdam. And Rome! And a Grecian isle! And you know....)

Thank you Lieve for your kind words and for mentioning the mulberries, whose taste is out of this modern world. You beautifully conveyed the feeling of Jean Yves' place....

Indeed he's found the Garden and I was glad to have an opportunity to share it and that everybody loved the place. Martin this is very unfortunate that you became the clown of this event, and for doing nothing. But to me you will remain as the sound alchemist who showed me a John Martyn tune. Although that was pretty funny at the time, to be honest there was a much funnier moment than Rajah attacking Martin. Bob already mentioned how he honored the french vino on the 1st night. Well during Catherine's marvelous performance (yes Claudia I agree with you that one would have heard Joni was there) Bob was leaning on Queen Lulu. As he opened his mouth and as the first sound almost came out that might have disturbed a magical moment, Lulu swiftly muffled it by putting her hand on Bob's mouth. The few people who saw this including myself were ROTFL. Sorry Bob, don't be sore, I had to help Martin.

And even worse, I didn't talk with Julius for over a week! I guess I was just assuming that all was well, so I was quite shocked when I called him (on Monday, I think it was) and he told me they were back in the hospital. He said the organs were fine, but that Gail was experiencing some nausea and they needed to have some tests done. But now I am happy to report that Gail came home Thursday, after a week in the hospital, and she is doing great. The nausea is gone and Julius says that life is now "a picnic". In fact, they hope to go on one today by a river. Oh, I hope they find a beautiful river they can skate away on! Have a picnic, by a river flowing, J & G, deep kisses and the sun going down...... I think it was awfully rough on both of them to have to go back to the hospital after finally getting out and through all that anxiety and trauma (those are MY words, not his. Julius does not complain.) so may their sorrow be interrupted for a long long time! Damn right! So now I send up my prayer that Monsieur Paz et famille will escape the anticipated wrath of Hurricane Katrina down south, and that to the north of me that Ashara continues to celebrate her birthday (hugs to you, Ashara!), and Mags' her new digs and job.
