It was also nice listening to Joni's live take in 95 - I was not familiar with that either. I have to say though that what Joni does with this song on Travelogue is great: you can hear anger in the orchestra too. Have you ever tried searching for Joni Mitchell in iTunes Music Store? In the UK, it comes up with some weird results alongside the standard albums. For instance, Dwyane and Jeff have a song titled "Joni Mitchell" in their Rubber and Glue album; Uncle Seth's cover of Both Sides Now, and a whole tribute album by a band called Big Yellow Taxi with 12 Joni's songs. I'm sure you know them all though...

That's Vince Mendoza's work, a brilliant orchestral composer/arranger/conductor. He's done really great stuff, both on his own and in collaboration with others. Travelogue is definitely a great work of art. - -- Nicola Larosa - nico@tekNico.net How wonderful the world would be if his behaviour and attitude was the default among rich people - using his money with a vision to improve the world, instead of getting 8 sportcars and a larger penis. -- barkholt on Slashdot, October 2005, referring to Mark Shuttleworth ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 03:48:41 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: sex kills and other covers Hi Raf - I've got all of those covers; the Uncle Seth BSN just came out as a CD-single a couple months ago, it rocks fairly well too. Big Yellow Taxi was Henning and Christina from Denmark, they came to the 2002 Jonifest and won everyone over. I've seen the Dwyane & Jeff track but haven't heard it. Believe me, I've typed "Joni Mitchell" into LOTS of search engines! Glad you enjoyed the Sex Kills cover, this one seems to be popular and I'm delighted to see the feedback.

I am so thankful she reminded us (me) to give to Pakistan. . I have been meaning to do this. . I just have to figure out where to send a little bit of money. I heard someone on NPR say that they feel like they have been forgotten (Pakistan). .and if everyone just sends one dollar. . it will help so many. . I have got to get my art together here.. maybe send it to the red cross, I don't know.. I am also impressed with Carly's humility.

LITTLE ROCK (Nov. 21) -- Under a long glass case here at the Clinton Presidential Library, a carefully crayoned drawing shows five gunslingers in cowboy hats facing off under a giant orange sun. It's a scene from High Noon, the label says, a favorite movie of 6-year-old "Billy" Clinton. Now pushing 60, the artist, former president Bill Clinton, says he's lost his taste for showdowns. In Washington last week, the congressional debate about Iraq and spending priorities took a turn for the vitriolic. But Clinton, who made the term "war room" part of the political lexicon, wasn't plotting a counterattack. Back in Arkansas, the state that launched his political career, to celebrate the first anniversary of his presidential library, Clinton argued for a cease-fire. "I think it's a healthy thing in a democracy to have people disagreeing, but if you're screaming or demonizing, then the very people you want to reach b which is those who don't agree with you b can't hear you," he said. As president, Clinton was a polarizing politician. As the husband of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, whom most polls rate a leading contender for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, he's at the eye of an intense storm of political speculation. But nearly five years after leaving office, Clinton insists he prefers to be the Great Conciliator: "I'm in a different place than I used to be." In a 50-minute interview with USA TODAY, Clinton talked warmly about former president George H.W. Bush, the man he ousted from the White House; said he goes "out of my way" to find areas of agreement with the current President Bush; and argued for the need to find ways to transcend the nation's political divide. "Sooner or later you figure out that pragmatism and compromise are principles in a democracy. It's not selling out your convictions," Clinton said. Clinton and former president Bush are preparing to announce soon the co-chairs of a joint foundation to distribute the more than $100 million they have raised for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The plan, as Clinton outlined it in a speech to the Little Rock Rotary Club, sounds like a version of the elder Bush's "Thousand Points of Light." They plan to fund community and church groups helping people "who fall between the cracks" of government programs. He's enthusiastic about the partnership. "He's just a wonderful guy. Plus, he's fun to be around," said Clinton, who confessed that Bush beat him in a recent round of golf. "I've reached a point in life where the fact that I've had my differences with him or even more stark differences with his son, who's more conservative than he is, doesn't bother me. I can still like and appreciate them." Clinton doesn't hide his disagreements with the current president over Iraq and economic policies. "I practically need a rabies shot when I talk about this deficit and me getting five tax cuts while we had two wars going on," he said. Even so, he said that they have established "a good relationship" and that Bush has asked him to work on "little foreign policy things" that Clinton won't detail. Clinton maintains a quasi-presidential lifestyle. The Clinton Foundation had a budget of $12 million last year. Spokesman Jay Carson says Clinton raised an additional $15 million for his crusade to expand treatment for AIDS and HIV victims in developing countries. Clinton's staff of 60, working in New York and Little Rock, includes a chief of staff and foreign and domestic policy advisers. They work on causes ranging from economic development in Harlem to promoting research on breast cancer to battling poor eating habits. Despite his recent heart surgery, Clinton travels the globe regularly. Back home, he faces humbling reminders that he's out of office. Returning to his Chappaqua, N.Y. house last week after a 19-hour flight from the Middle East, he had to wait up for repairmen. "We're having to put in a new septic field, and I lost my heat," he said. Clinton said he returns to Little Rock once a month or so to "check in on the library." He also looks in on 16 charter students in the Clinton School of Public Service, a master's degree program that he began with the University of Arkansas. The library is a point of pride with Clinton. It has sparked $1 billion worth of development in a once-seedy neighborhood, according to the Clinton Foundation, and has been certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. Displays include references to Clinton's impeachment on charges of lying about his affair with former intern Monica Lewinsky. And there are indications that Clinton has a sense of humor about his public image. In one exhibit area, a display on music at the White House includes a folk art painting titled Elvis Introducing a Bill To Congress that depicts Clinton and Elvis Presley on stage in a frame decorated with soft drink bottle caps and faux French fries. Clinton said he hopes visitors, "whether they are conservative or liberal or Democrat or Republican" leave feeling "more like being involved in the political process." The former president does. After deliberately staying out of his wife's first Senate campaign in 2000, he's eager to campaign in 2006 when she runs for re-election. Clinton said he'd like to help the senator in rural Upstate New York, where, he joked "to be able to drag out a weather-beaten old redneck like me is an enormous asset." 11/21/05 Copyright 2005 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co.

One, Build That Wall, and Save Me are all superb tracks. Maybe the producer on Magnolia did something magical because I've never heard anything on her other CD's that comes close. Like I said, she's Ok with good material, and I also like her duets with Michael Penn, his voice adds enough oomph to cover Aimee's "detachment". I'm sure her River will be all right, perhaps she can think back to the day when she was rude to Smurf and sing "I made Bob Murphy cry, I made Bob Murphy say goodbye...."
