It would have been great to meet you both, but that time will come. Given this tribute, there will probably not be a Jonifest per se this year but Ashara is talking about spring of 2007, so start thinking about that - you don't have to be so frantic and besides you'll have a better opportunity to spend more time with more JMDLer's. Besides, you'll get so many reports about Carnegie Hall you'll feel like you WERE there, my brother! Good luck with the job, and I'm sending big cyber-hugs now to be replaced with REAL hugs in time.

While some people might feel the need to lambaste the president for his response, in fact, it was a nicely handled bit of politics. He didn't say he wouldn't see it, nor did he take the opportunity to criticize liberal Hollywood or Gay America. Here's is my plea to the President to see the film: Dear President Bush: I have never written you a letter nor did I ever think I would. I know you're busy fighting the war on terror and all, but I thought I should draw your attention to one of the best films released this year. I have heard that you like to listen to Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell, which shows me you have decent taste, and so I have to echo the sentiments of the student who addressed you last week: you would love this movie. Ang Lee is at the height of his directorial power. Having already made a trio of very different but equally outstanding and original films b The Ice Storm, Sense and Sensibility and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to his resume (I have a feeling Laura might have seen those films), hebs outdone himself this time around. Mr. President, he didn't make a movie about gay cowboys; he made a movie about loneliness, isolation and not living in a world that accepts you as you are. It is a beautiful, haunting story, one I know you wonbt forget. Brokeback Mountain is a western of a different kind. Like Clint Eastwoodbs Unforgiven, it shows the vulnerable side of the cowboys we have all grown up with in films, and perhaps those you grew up around back in Texas, you know, before the dark days of well, before you found Jesus and all. You may have known an Ennis Delmar or a Jack Twist. And if you didn't know them, perhaps you weren't looking hard enough. The film opens on two cowboys who herd sheep up on Brokeback Mountain one summer. It is just the two of them for endless days and nights. For whatever reason, they end up getting close in all kinds of ways, not just in the way everyone is talking about. Ennis Delmar (played by one of the best actors of his generation, Heath Ledger) has never found anyone he could be himself around until Jack comes along. Likewise, Jack (played by the equally marvelous Jake Gyllenhaal) finds in Ennis a soul mate. But thatbs where the giggling stops. Most of their lives, they try hard to deny the truth inside of them. You can imagine how hard that must be in places like Texas and Wyoming b where you get killed for exhibiting bdeviantb behavior. But you know as well as I do that people, yes, even gods people, come many different ways. And if you honestly believe that certain people are damned to hell for being born a certain way then I'm afraid I have misjudged you. I donbt think you really do believe that; I know you are smarter. But even if you aren't ready to accept the idea of gay people in your heart yet, perhaps you are interested in seeing just a plain old well made movie. You might even want to see it just so you can debunk its genius b though I know if you sit down and watch it, you and Mrs. Bush will be crying like babies. The script is written by producer Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry. You must know McMurtrybs work like Lonesome Dove. If you donbt, ask Laura about him. But I feel sure you not only know his work but have read much of it. If you haven't, I know Laura has. You have to admit that if a tough old coot like McMurtry can bgo there,b you most certainly can. You wonbt find a better acted, emotionally moving, universal love story than this one. After about fifteen minutes, you aren't watching two men together so much as you're watching how living a life that is a lie can destroy everyone around you. The women you're forced to marry, the mothers who watch and witness your pain, your own need to drink the pain away. It is as simple as the sun coming up yet more complicated than you can imagine. As Ennis says, bIf you can bt fix it, you have to stand it.b It is my hope, Mr. President, that you will take the time to open your heart and mind to Brokeback Mountain. You will be the better for it b a better husband, a better father, a better president, a better man. - -------- - -Julius In a message dated 1/24/06 11:46:51 PM, JRMCo1 writes: > In the "Late Night with David Letterman" (from New York!) television show > monologue tonight: > > "President Bush admitted today that he had not seen 'Brokeback Mountain' > yet...but he did express interest in drilling for oil there!"B {Drummer: > Ba-da-bing!} > > -Julius, who has yet to see it.B Maybe in NY? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 08:29:31 -0500 (EST) From: "Gerald A.

Should be a good late-night NYC experience.

My head and heart has been full of so much else. Me and Karen Marie were really planning to go to NYC. I was in fact calling the ticket office at Carnegie Hall friday night from my cell phone and almost ordering tickets. But there were many things that had to be arranged to make it all happen. We had to get our new (elctronic) passports(after what happened 9/11) - and we were in a hurry- I called the police on saturday morning and they told me this usually takes two weeks. Besides I had to solve my not very good financial situation to find a way around, and I was in fact calling my bank and ordering a master card just to be able to go - but would it reach me in timee...? We really were in the urge for going. We felt that we had to go... Then saturday came. I was in the middle of moving all my stuff - I am leaving Oslo for the country, closer to my work. So I was allready filled up with emotions and a certain grief that morning when Karen Marie called me and told me that she had read on the digest that Joni weren't coming. This kind of blew the air out of our dreamy bubble. It burst and fell to the ground. In a way I felt relief in another way I felt grief and disappointment. We had wanted it so much. Really dreamed about it - but suddendly trapped by all sorts of limits - excuses - applogies - we just draw the conclusion that we couldn't come - couldn't go, So the next day - after moving my stuff - and when moving to my new house - with all the concrete and emotional chaos that brings up - I went to visit Karen Marie again. She showed me the brilliant mail I recieved from Patti Parlette. Again I felt this slight tremblin' in my bones. But I just felt that it was to many things to rearrange to reorder - rebook - relive - so I Iet the chance go by. And I did not have the energy to answer any of your very friendly emails. And I want to apolgise you for that. I know the concert will be great - I know that not any of you who goes will regret that you went - and I wish I could have been there with you- to cherish SIQUOMB's music - with or without our Lady's blessing. Yesterday - writing a mail to another exciting singer and musician - Sherelle (from the list) I wrote : I hope that you who go to New York - can feel that you salute and honor Joni's music - despite she does not attend it, nor seem to appreciate or value that kind of focus. But our dear Joni- didnt't she say it herself "Love is a story told to a friend It's second hand" I hereby transcribe this to the Joni tribute Concert at Carnegie: Joni's great music is a story told to many friends - brought to you here at Carnegie - second hand by many great artists and like love - this "second hand story telling" can reveal something new - just like Jericho : "Let these walls come tumbling down" I know this will be a great gathering and very exciting revisitation of Joni Miitchell's texts and music. Oh - how lucky we are(and I know speak about us as human kind) to be able to do that. And through these new voices her musical material can be (redis)&covered again and again - and not least through this we - who love music - can discover new voices - like your voice. Sherelle - your and other great artist's music.(Just aks Bob -I am sure he will be happy to give you a few good names - - :-) So sorry for giving you false hopes and triggering your kind generousity - - We would really liked to attend the show - but this time we had to see our own limits . The show must go on - and that will be great - be it without both Joni and us norwegians. Both sides, now! What me and Karen Marie has concluded is that it would be great to see some you our fellow enthusiats some other time - maybe we could come to one of the Joni fests in the future? What is comin' up next. I really hope so! And I really look forward to get a computer and internet in my (new!) home - so that I can be able to communicate my Joni feelings to you - whenever I like too. (And not like no - on work - with a light touch of bad conciousness...) A hope for peace and understanding and LOVE!

We hope tomorrow will be better. Take good care and count your blessings. I think my mom has good advice. (She's no Myrtle.) Let's all take good care, count our blessings, and shower the people we love with love. I'm thinking of you too, Donna. So what are we to do? All of us that can -- that good fortune allows -- will go have a wonderful Night in the City, and dedicate it to those who can't be there physically.

I will raise a glass to you, Bree and Marianne as often as I can while there. Though it probably will be just water, I will salute you and all of the Joni Mitchell Discussion Listers who could not attend. I truly believe that something even better is going to come along down the road. Family is so important and so precious. We share our joys as well as our sadness with each other and so it has probably been a good ride that Marianne father and your mother in law have taken through this life. As you know, my uncle (by marriage) passed away this Sunday from a cancerous tumor in his chest. I was upset because I knew I could not go to the funeral which is today. But my sisters stood in for me and comforted my aunt. She is in good spirits which is a great comfort to me. My uncle was very tired of fighting this battle and wanted to rest. There is no shame in that. There is also no shame in being there for your family during a difficult time. We will all meet and come together another time and I believe it will so special. You'll see my friend. Love, Sherelle Laura wrote: Paz wrote: Marianne, my dad has been on the way out for over 30 years now and we still have him. I am hoping to go home next month to see him for a few days. I wish you all the best! Hi Paz, Sorry to hear your dad has been sick for so long. My heart goes out to you. My mother-in-law has been fighting lymphoma for 11 years. Two days before Christmas, she was off balance and had double vision. They did an MRI and found a tumor in the center of her brain, third ventricle involving the midbrain and the thalamus. A tumor involving the substance of the brainstem is grim. This location makes it difficult to do a biopsy so they haven't. They can't treat her because they don't know what kind of tumor it is. They don't think it is the same as the lymphoma because that doesn't usually go to the brain. So with this and the fact that she is tired of fighting and doesn't want any more chemo, she isn't receiving any treatment. We all hoped by now she would be on chemo and getting better Instead she has been in a steady decline. My husband has been staying with her as often as he can, rotating shifts over night with his siblings. He is very worn down, and I am too. If I had gone to the Tribute, he wouldn't have been able to be with her overnight while I was away because he would have had to stay with our 3 sons. When I told him I'm not going, the look of relief on his face was priceless. As for Marianne's dad, he has a glioblastoma that had its primary focus in the frontal lobe of his cerebrum. They removed the bulk of the tumor earlier this month, but there was no way to get it all because these cells migrate and create tracts of cancer throughout the brain like highways going through the land. Glioblastoma is the most rapidly growing and invasive tumor one can have. Without chemo and radiation following surgery, most patients don't live past 3 months. With it, only 6 mos to a year. Marianne and her family opted not to have him go through chemo and radiation. He is in hospice now. Life is a blessing... going to the Tribute is a blessing. I cried almost all day yesterday because I'm not going. It just wasn't in the cards for me nor Marianne and Bree. Thanks for celebrating for us. There's a time for every purpose under the heavens...

Those are statewide laws. And it only got worse in every state that passed one of those marriage amendment things. There is no way to draft around it unless you do all the paperwork perfectly and anticipate everything. I cannot speak to Oklahoma law - I do not think the court of appeals in Michigan would have reached the same conclusion as the Oklamhoma courts given the facts as presented, only because of recent changes in our probate code. But the news article was incorrect in that every state does not not have common law marriage for straight couples. Michigan does not, for example. And these "pro family" marriage things passing in state after state are complicating the legalities for unmarried staright couples living togther - which is a part of the right wing agenda. And for that, our recently revised probate code would perhaps fail under conservative activist judges.

The other day I was back in 1965 with Patty Duke, and now here come the 50s.) - ----------------------------------- Purple People Eater The Purple People Eater was the #1 song for 6 weeks in 1958 and the #24 song of the 1955-1959 rock era. It sold over 3 million records and received a Gold Record within 3 weeks after it was released. And over 100 Million Copies Overall!!! Words and music by Sheb Wooley. Lyrics to Purple People Eater. Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky It had the one long horn, one big eye. I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee" It looks like a purple people eater to me. It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater. (one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) A one-eyed one-horned, flyin' puple people eater Sure looks stange to me. (one eye?) Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me. (one horn?) I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine But that's not the reason that I came to land I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater. Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater (we wear short shorts) Flyin' purple people eater sure looks strange to me. And then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground. He started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy little ditty with a swingin' tune (sing aboop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom) Well, bless my soul, rock and roll flyin' purple people eater. Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple peopleeater. Flyin' little people eater Sure looks strange to me. (purple people?) And then he went on his way, and then what do you know. I saw him last night on a TV show. He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head (clarinet solo) ( Tequila) - ----------------------------- Well bless your soul, rock and roll, flying purple people leader!

It's just all the excitement, you know? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 15:34:41 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Going out on a limb - my predictions (probably way too long for most) So after looking at the revised list of performers, and being the self-proclaimed covers king, I thought it would be fun to see if I could predict who will do what at Carnegie Hall. I think there are some safe bets but there is such an eclectic mix of performance styles (unlike the TNT show which was pretty much MOR) that trying to guess is a crapshoot at best. Several of these artists I have no knowlegde of and had to do some investigative work to see what they are all about. If nothing else, it was a good way to orient me with some of the performers. And who knows? Maybe the lineup has been shuffled since this morning when I pulled these names off the official concert website, but here goes nuthin'. And please, just take my predictions for pure entertainment value; as always no wagering. And it goes without saying that I welcome opposing viewpoints. Laurie Anderson - Who's to say? Laurie is always an unpredictable and total wildcard. Guesses at most, guesses based on....? Whatever she does will be wonderful & inventive & unique, I'd be real surprised if she does BSN again (as she performed it at Wall to Wall), I just think she likes to challenge herself. I'm saying "All I Want" done in a way that has never been heard before. Assembly of Dust featuring Sonya Kitchell - An odd pairing, to be sure...AoD appear to be Phish-like jam band, and Sonya Kitchell is a 16-year old singer-songwriter who is very similar to Joni's early stylings. "Black Crow" is my pick; it contains a folk-jazz vocal pattern and a free-form chord structure that is open for exploration and jamming, not that I'm looking for a 20-minute version or anything. Then again, how much meaning can someone who is but a mere sweet 16 give a line like "in search of love and music my whole life has been...."? We'll see. Don Byron - My ears are still ringing from the cacophony he presented at 2003's Wall to Wall...he did The Priest & Dreamland, both going on WAY too long and going WAY out in left field. It was even hard to recognize what songs he was doing. If he shows up with an ensemble, he may do The Priest again, but I doubt it. I'd look for him to pull one from the Mingus songbook - "God Must Be A Boogie Man". If he shows up solo with his clarinet he might do something that lends itself to a free-jazz interpretation like "Roses Blue". Maybe in this format he will be more disciplined, for the audience's sake I hope so. Marc Cohn - Singer-songwriter very familiar with Joni's work, so I'm looking for him to go a little deeper in the catalogue. Given that his claim to fame is "Walking In Memphis" I'll predict that he pulls up "Furry Sings The Blues" which lends itself to a masculine interpretation and has lyrics that he's gotta appreciate. Plus the whole "Memphis" thang. Judy Collins - Of course, if she does BSN she gets an easy standing ovation; she may get one regardless as she was so pivotal in Joni's thrust into the popular arena. If she only does one song, it'll be "That Song About The Midway" which she's been doing on the road since she recorded it. She might lead a group-sing in a show-closing BSN as well, or she might get a solo shot at it. Shawn Colvin - Shawn has done a slew of Joni songs live and is also very well-acquainted with her catalog. She did a beautiful job with Amelia for the TNT trib in 2000, she may reprise it here. I wouldn't be surprised if she does something different, I'm rolling the dice here and predicting "Conversation" which she performed early on in her career. Cowboy Junkies - Whatever The CJ's do, it's gonna be wonderful. Looking back on their choices of covers, they seem to most revel in re-inventing an artist's best-known song and making it their own...Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight", Bruce's "Thunder Road", Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane", etc. I'm looking for Margo & Co. to put their own spin on "Help Me" with less jazzy-pop and more moody introspection. Eels - E is another wild card; I've got a number of Eels CD's and there's not an obvious number jumping out at me. Since most of his work is tinged with darkness, I'm going with "Rainy Night House" for Mr. Everett, plus I can hear him doing that one in my head and the only other one I can hear is Free Man but it's just too cheery for him. I will also bet that I am wrong, wrong, wrong. Bebel Gilberto - I'm guessing that Ms. Gilberto will appropriate the Sergio Mendes samba arrangement of "Chelsea Morning", but it would be sweet if she brought out a latin-tinged "Dreamland" instead. Amy Grant - She's done BYT and had a hit with it, re-releasing it and even remixing it. A pretty safe bet that she'll do it at Carnegie Hall. Richie Havens - He opened THE Woodstock and recorded Joni's song of the same name in '04, bet the farm that Woodstock will be his - oh, and he'll bring down the house with it as well. Bettye LaVette - A highly regarded R&B singer who's been out there as long as the subject of the tribute, I'm hoping that she's been exposed to Chaka Khan's DVD and will turn in a soulful take on "Man From Mars". Jesse Malin - It would be tempting to think that Jesse would come out rocking with "Raised On Robbery", but he appears to have trended away from bar-brand R&R to more Tom Waits/Ryan Adams sorta stuff - I'm looking for him to come out with something more sensitive along the lines of "Jericho". Nellie McKay - It'll be a piano song, something with some attitude. I'll predict "Last Time I Saw Richard" but would absolutely wet myself if she would do "Judgement of the Moon & Stars". Me'Shell NdegeOcello - Jazz-soul oriented, afrocentric, political, emotional..."Ethiopia". Please. Pharoah's Daughter - Jewish folk ensemble, influenced by Eastern European Klezmer & Middle Eastern Jewish music. The group's instrumentation features woodwinds, guitar, tabla and other exotic percussion. I have no clue - "Carey" done in Klezmer-style...Oy! Tom Rush - Well, it's 50/50 between Circle Game & Urge For Going...he has kept UFG in his setlist since he first recorded it, so I'm laying real good odds that that's what we'll hear from him in this historical NYC show. And it will be an emotional rendition as he sings it and reflects upon what the song has meant to him over the years. Jimmy Scott - With a voice that has to be heard to be believed, I'm looking for Scott to do something from Joni's jazz catalog, he also has a way with a standard, I'm going to look for a torch-version of "A Case Of You" but would be blown away if he was to do "Harlem In Havana" which would be a better choice. Neil Sedaka - Something peppy and poppy, wouldn't be at all surprised to hear him do "Free Man In Paris", maybe even gets to do "The Circle Game" unless they're going to do a TNT-ish "everyone comes out and holds hands and leads the audience singalong" version of it. Martin Sexton - A young folk-soul singer with a strong range, the sky is the limit for what he might do. Still, I'll play it safe and instead of picking something obscure that would work like "Yvette In English" I'll go with a safer choice like "For Free". Joanne Shenandoah - A native American, I'm betting that she's going to bring to the forefront Joni's heritage as well which means it's down to "Lakota" or "Cherokee Louise". Since Lakota is a bit more obtuse, I'll bet she goes with the latter. Suzanne Vega - Having followed Suzanne since her first release, I know that like Joni she's migrated more towards more complex and more experimental musical forms. Still, I'm predicting something folkish and hushed - "Cactus Tree" Dar Williams - No stranger to direct, honest, emotional songs and I'm sure she's familiar with Joni's newer work. I'm hoping for "The Magdalene Laundries". Michelle Williams - I'd love to hear her inject some R&B/soulfulness into "Be Cool". I'll be happy just watching her, whatever she sings. The Wood Brothers - Traditional, bluegrass - I'll bet they take on "You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio" Those are my guesses, and I'm sticking with 'em - even when the concert is done and everyone points out that I missed every one***. And if you have your own picks, let's hear 'em - even if you're not going to be there. ***Except Richie Havens.
