He should have stepped into an interview and simply said, "This may be the worst day of my life. I accidentally shot a friend and I feel terrible. My hopes and prayers are for a speedy recovery." Why does a career politician find it so hard to be... likable?! Not only would it have been honorable, but it would have been utterly impossible for the press to "spin". Maybe I've been watching "The West Wing" too long; it doesn't seem that hard to get it right. I wanted to say that Jimmy Carter would have made a simple statement. But then, I think his press machinery delayed that 'episode' entitled "The President Dispatched An Angry Beaver With A Boat Paddle", right? Remember that one, ya'll? Jim From: Randy Remote - - ----- Original Message ----- First, the owner of the ranch (a heavy donor to Bush/Cheney) says there was no alcohol. Now, reporter Brit Hume (ironically of Fox News) reveals that Cheney, notorious for being a bald-faced liar, told him he had "a beer" at lunch. Police officers say that is what drunk drivers usually claim when pulled over. "...but nobody was drinking..." Cheney told Hume. Huh? Cheney had two DUI's in the 60's. An article at MSNBC's Website was edited to remove references to alcohol being available before the shooting. The incident was not reported until the day after it happened. Connect the dots. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:23:02 -0800 (PST) From: Em Subject: Re: njc the veep shoots, he scores! - --- "Jim L'Hommedieu, Lama" wrote: > I wanted to say that Jimmy Carter would have made a simple statement. > But > then, I think his press machinery delayed that 'episode' entitled > "The > President Dispatched An Angry Beaver With A Boat Paddle", right? > Remember > that one, ya'll?

You can always check good ol' JM.com to see how many times a Joni song has been covered, and even who has done it: http://www.jonimitchell.com/undercover/mostcovered.cfm Neither of your selections is 'overdone' by any means, FTR believe it or not has only been recorded by others a scant three times as far as I know (and I know pretty far). Hejira has 5 covers to its credit, but they include a live recording and Chaka Khan's recording for A Case of Joni that may never see the light of day, and also a Smiths recording that was more or less an in-studio jam that got recorded and released in very limited quantity (it is a Holy Grail Joni cover for me). For that matter, the entire ALBUM of FTR (with the exception of "You Turn Me On...") has been unfairly ignored in the covers arena, and many of the songs have NEVER been covered. Shameful. As far as being in character for you, both FTR & Hejira would work fine, but then so would many others. Heck - as good as you are you could probably pull off Dancin' Clown. But please don't try.

A nice bit of Joni trivia there, J... Joni is listed as co-writer of this 1976 tune along with John Guerin and Max Bennett from the LA Express. I'm not sure how much of a hand Joni had in it, I don't hear a lot of her in the melody nor much of the lyric. Since she's listed as a co-writer, I call it a Joni cover.

And still > you voted him back into office. And now you care if he lied about > this? You should have impeached him long ago. Of course war crimes are worse than accidentally or negligently shooting someone and failing to notify the police until you sober up. But they are both symptoms of the same thing; an arrogant administration that thinks it is above the law, and has the good fortune of a complicit media that is careful not to ask uncomfortable questions. So yes, it does matter, especially in light of the media crucifixion Clinton endured for making mistakes not related to his job. You are right, though, I should have impeached him long ago-actually, as I've said here before, I believe he and Dubya should be jailed. Myself and 100,000 others marched against this phoney war in San Francisco before it even started, as people did in other US cities. The corporations, media and state have melded into such an iron triangle that those who are not hypnotized are effectively ignored. More people need to wake up to what's really going on, but the TV has them lobotomized. The question of "voting him back into office"....all I can say is: computerized voting machines with no varifiable paper trail, owned by Bush cronies....and alot of scared, gullible people who are as out of shape mentally as they are physically.

Who ever heard of a swimming rabbit anyway? In some book, Jody Powell of the Carter Administration said, >It began late one afternoon in the spring of 1979. The President was sitting with a few of us on the Truman Balcony. He had recently returned from a visit to Plains, and we were talking about homefolks and how the quail were nesting and similar matters of international import. Suddenly, for no apparent reason -- he was drinking lemonade, as I recall -- the President volunteered the information that while fishing in a pond on his farm he had sighted a large animal swimming toward him. Upon closer inspection, the animal turned out to be a rabbit. Not one of your cutesy, Easter Bunny-type rabbits, but one of those big splay-footed things that we called swamp rabbits when I was growing up. The animal was clearly in distress, or perhaps berserk. The President confessed to having had limited experience with enraged rabbits. He was unable to reach a definite conclusion about its state of mind. What was obvious, however, was that this large, wet animal, making strange hissing noises and gnashing its teeth, was intent upon climbing into the Presidential boat.> >Several months later I was chatting with Brooks Jackson, one of the White House correspondents for the Associated Press, over a cup of tea, as I remember. For reasons that I still do not fully understand, I told him about the President and the rabbit. I was the one who leaked the killer rabbit story. Although an experienced reporter, Brooks also failed to appreciate the significance of what he had heard. He did not rush to file an "urgent" story. In fact, he continued the conversation for some period of time and several more cups of tea. Not until the next day did he get around to sending this gripping account out over the wires to a waiting public. And even then it was a pleasant, lighthearted piece. Although he may not admit it now, I had the definite impression at the time that Brooks thought it was nothing more than a mildly amusing incident, too. We were soon corrected. The Washington Post, exercising the news judgment that we in the White House had come to appreciate so keenly, headed the piece President Attacked by Rabbit and ran it on the front page. The more cautious New York Times boxed it on page A-12. That night, all three networks found time to report the amazing incident. But that was just the beginning. It was a nightmare. The story ran for more than a week. The President was repeatedly asked to explain his behavior at town hall meetings, press conferences, and meetings with editors. There was talk of a suit under the Freedom of Information Act to force release of the picture showing the President, paddle and rabbit in close proximity. Shortly after the Reagan administration took office, they stumbled upon a copy of the picture -- apparently while searching for a foreign policy -- and reopened the old wounds by releasing it to the press.> - -------------------- Now Lama again: 1. I think "lemonade" and "a cup of tea" just MIGHT BE gentle euphemisms. 2. It's really suspicious that "quail" appear in Powell's story too. Is it a just a coincidence or... follow me now... maybe "quail" is the predictable re-emergence of a Jungian archetype, representing breach of power? :) Aren't all of the mistakes by leaders in the Bible foreshadowed by the appearance of a quail? :) getting a bit weird in Dayton, Jim L'Hommedieu PS, 3.

I had a great time at the Carnegie Hall show and have many impressions that still feel fresh about various performances, but at this point I'm not sure what I can add to everything others have said.... though I will say that Bettye Levette's performance of "Last Chance Lost" was the absolute highlight of the evening for me. She completey blew me away and I think that her performance was the one that would have pleased Joni the most, had she been there. Bettye achieved the absolute height of what a great cover should be -- she took that song, crushed it up in the crucible, and worked her alchemy and brought out something utterly new and magical. Chills just thinking about it now. I also loved Richie Haven's "Woodstock" -- I remarked to Patrick (who sat next to me scribbling with his totally bitchin' flashlight pen) that Richie's version was the "Horse With No Name" version of "woodstock" -- it had a very similar feel. I presume that this was unintentional on Richie's part, but as more time passes and I recall his performance, the more I feel that the "Horse WIth No Name" comparison is truly meaningful, at least to me: that we are walking in the desert now, but we've got to get ourselves back to the garden. And you never know -- perhaps Richie Havens was deliberately trying to create that horsey desert mood... A huge thank you to Julius for putting together the pre-show party in the Citigroup Cafe -- what a great time, great chance to reunite with people and hang and sing. And a huge thank you to Patrick as well for getting us all into Seppi's somehow -- it was great fun to just take over the entire joint, meet some new listers and meet Tom Rush to boot. Kudos to Alison for crushing a soda cup and leaving it on the floor under my table at Seppi's -- way to make those mo-mo's proud, girl! And I want to reserve my greatest effusiveness for the tremendous support that you all gave to me during the Night In City tribute at Rockwood Music Hall. I was SO happy that you were all willing to come to such a late show, and ya'll hung in there until 4:00 am!! So wonderful... and you guys are such a great audience, and since I know pretty much all of you and are used to your enthusiastic response to all music, I wasn't really focused on that part until some of my NYC musician colleagues began commenting about how great the audience was, how attentive and polite, etc. And they are so right -- you were all fantastic and though I put a lot of work into making the thing happen, you guys are the ones who made it a success. It was a peak experience, for sure. It was a true pleasure to meet and hear new people like Lynn Skinner and Angela McKenzie, who both totally rocked; it was of course a pleasure to play with David Lahm (how could it not be?); and it's always so much fun to hear Paz's varied talents and encyclopedic knowledge of Joni's music -- and thank you Paz for making sure that John Kelly became a part of the show. What a thrill that was. And thanks to Paz for lugging all his crazy equipment to NYC -- having the VG8 was a real boon and helped make the evening run very smoothly. And thank you to Bob Muller for MCing the show -- Casey Kasem's got NUTHIN' on Bob! :-) Thanks to Alison for staying so late despite an early morning flight and singing "You Turn Me On..." and to Donna the Texas Tush for sharing her version of "I Think I Understand" again, this time with amplification so that everyone could really enjoy it. She had John Kelly in tears, ya'll. I took a lot of pictures as well, and will hopefully get it together this weekend and post them to the Kodak site where everyone can view them. I was playing the role of permanent stage hand, perched on the edge of the stage the whole time, which was great fun in terms of enjoying the music, but it also gave me a really interesting vantage point for taking pictures. Got some Arty ones, even. :-) Also, the show was recorded, though not everything was captured. The saddest omission is Gary Zack's performance of "Just Like Me" -- the CD burner was occupied with playing his backing tracks, so his performance was not captured. Seems that "Just Like Me" is somehow destined to remain unreleased, eh? (btw the "eh" is technically Joni content.) One thing I have to say about the whole experience of putting together Night In The City -- it gave me a very small taste of what Ashara must go through with all the extensive planning for a JoniFest. Ashara, I have seen a very small glimpse of the gargantuan task it is, and I promise you that if you ever organize another fest, I will do everything early! :-) So, a huge, heartfelt thanks to Ashara for all her work over the years which has been, from my POV, second in importance only to Wally Breese's, in terms of birthing this community into a quite NON-virtual one! It amazes me how well we have come to know one another, how lasting the bonds have been, just based on the occasional intense shared experiences provided by the JoniFests. I don't mean to neglect the efforts of others who have organized Fests, but I speak for myself, and Ashara's Fests are the only ones I have experienced. And those Fests have been such great times and have been the platform for beginning friendships that I really treasure. And really, it would not have been possible for me to organize the Night In The City benefit without feeling confident that this community would pull through and show up. So, a really HUGE thank you to all of you. Please forgive me a moment of self-promotion: for you NYCers, here's a very belated announcment of another show of mine at Rockwood; I'm playing at 8:00 pm on Friday (today): http://www.kayashley.com/calendar.html It was so great to see you all again and to meet listers who were new to me. So maybe one of these days there will be another occasion for a bunch of you to be in NYC and I can organize another concert -- one that starts at a reasonable hour!! :-D Peace out, Kay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.kayashley.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 23:53:35 -0800 From: Lori Fye Subject: Re: Army Recruits - VERY NJC mack wrote: > I always thought a much better idea than sending drug > convicted folks to prison would be to send them into the > military.

Certainly they shouldn't be sent to prison, but I think sending them for military service would depend on many factors beyond just a drug conviction - -- particularly with the stupid drug laws we have on the books right now. In the first place, no one should be in jail for anything having to do with marijuana, in my opinion. Other drugs ... maybe. My personal jury is still out on that. > Have always wondered why a homosexual person that > lives in this country, which denies the basic civil rights to > them that everyone else gets for free, and in some cases > get more than once (divorced heterosexuals), would want > to go into the military in the first place. There are as many reasons as there are gay servicemen and -women. For me, it was mainly about leaving home and getting training for a decent job. Something to take into account, though, is that gays who serve in the military are generally quite patriotic. Being a patriot means that you don't turn your back on serving your country just because you aren't getting everything you want. You work at getting it. You work within the system, slowly and diligently, to try to change things. As a gay patriot, you let people get to know you and respect you, and then eventually (maybe) you tell them you're gay. What almost always happens is: it changes their minds. One at a time, they change their minds, because they've already come to know and respect and like you as a person and a comrade. They realize you're no different than they are, and you're the same person they always knew. Then things begin to change and become more fair for everyone. Yes, sometimes you run across yahoos who are hung up on their religion or hung up on the rules and regulations, and they'll try to move heaven and earth to get you kicked out. Honestly, though, those people are in the minority, even in the military. A recent survey revealed that 76% of potential military recruits said that lifting the ban on openly gay service members would have "no effect" on their decision to enlist. It's mainly the old-timers in the Pentagon who are hung up on this, and it's not even that many of them. A lot of those guys are just "towing the line" so they can get through their time and retire; they really don't care if gays serve in the military, because they know this: we're already there, in great numbers. As gays and lesbians in 2006, we enjoy freedoms that our brothers and sisters only dreamed of 100, 50 -- even 20 or 10 -- years ago. It's still an uphill battle, and it's one that won't be won overnight. You just have to keep marching on, plugging away, doing your part -- and that just might include serving your country in the military, if it suits you. Besides, not many gays or lesbians can resist a man or woman in a uniform!! What better place ... ??? : ) Lori USAF 1976-80 AZANG 1980-82 USAF 1982-87 ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2006 #63 **************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
