Hi folks, Neil's new album is streaming in a couple of places, including his website, but I hear it's been overloaded and cutting out.

Check it out! Also ~ Joni content, don't know if any of you have seen this, but there is a comedy site called "RedstateUpdate," and they have been doing (tasteless, imho) parodies about Neil and this record, declaring war on Neil Young, etc. But anyway, one of their most recent ones has Neil on the "show" as a puppet, and they ask him who he thinks SHOULD be present and they have the Neil puppet say "Joni Mitchell!" ... I hesitate to include a link, these guys can get really low and very tasteless, so be forewarned!

Hey, Em, remember when you said we should kidnap Smurf for The Tribute? Let's go kidnap Smurf AND Catherine now and have a big ole Laugh-In! Put on your highway hand-me-downs and drive up the East Coast on your bike, pick up Jimmy and Musik Meister Muller and Sherelle and anyone else you see who is seeking the refuge of the roads to Baljenie and then we'll jump in my Space Buggy and beat all the meteorites to Boston Jim-Bobs and then we'll go westbound and rolling cross the borderline into O Canada and grab Catherine of Toronto and then we'll laugh and toast to nothing. Hey, then let's buy a bus, a magic bus -- a DOUBLE-DECKER bus, and we'll paint it up with all of Mark E.'s wonderful wallpaper designs, slap some Patti W. bumper stickers on there and we'll drive all over the world picking up JMDLers. You're either "on the bus or off the bus", right? We could be the "Merry Jonesters!" Sorry, I get carried away sometimes with these JMOCDed fantasies.

And of course, "She Is Queen Undisputedly Of Mind Beauty" is the proper acronym. And another is "Sisotowbell" in "Sisotowbell Lane." "Somehow In Spite of Trouble Ours Will Be Ever Lasting Love." (I know this is old news to many of you). I wish she had continued with her "mythology" that she was creating. It might even have turned into a song for her. GENE SHAY: There are so many calls that came in this evening when I told our listeners that you'd be here. One of them, I hope -- did you remember about your publisher? Do you remember it? JM: It's SIQUOMB, S-i-q-u-o-m-b. That means She Is Queen Undisputedly Of Mind Beauty, and that's the queen of this mythology that I'm writing. GS: Is there a song that you've written about a fife and drum or something like that? JM: It's called "The Fiddle and the Drum." GS: "The Fiddle and the Drum." JM: It's my song for America. GS: Okay. And what is this question? Somebody jotted this down, 'record of "Circle Game"'? What is that? (Unidentified speaker): Is there going to be a record? GS: Oh, is there going to be a recording of "Circle Game"? JM: I'm going to record it I think on my next album. I'm almost positive. You know, things might happen different in the studio, but I plan to record it for the record.

The ones you listed are certainly examples of his better efforts, at his worst you had those 'talking' songs like "The Day We Fall In Love" Ack-spitooey! Uber-flaccid.

I'm not sure who just posted saying SIQUOMB means "Sad is queen of mind beauty" but I always thought it was "She is queen of mind/beauty." And speaking of acronyms, I made one up all by myself last week when waiting at Dulles. UNITED - unless nobody is traveling, expect delays - pretty good if I do say so myself. And, of course DELTA is don't expect luggage to arrive. Now on to Neil Young (which I promised in a previous post - but never got around to, which just goes to show I'm only emailing myself, really, which is ok. I'll be very interested in hearing his new CD. He's someone who tries on different musical styles, and even seemingly different politics. Very interesting person...

Actually, you're both right. David starts it out 00mm:00ss - 00m:25ss. Then a chorus sings MOST of the chorus, and Peter finishes it with "only shades of grey". From then on, it's Peter/chorus. I never forget the important stuff. Besides, I checked because of the gravity of the matter.

The Boss is back! This is Springsteen doing something he hasn't done for a long, long time: singing loudly, in a full-on, rock voice, as he did on the roadhouse songs in "The River". (Remember "Ramrod"?) He's one of the greatest rock singers ever, and this album proves it all over again. The spontaneity of these tracks is more than enough to compensate for the ever-present lack of fidelity. (Where's the string bass? Where are the cymbals? Where are the dynamics? Where is the clarity? This time out, none of that matters.) To hear the Boss calling in a Dixieland refrain or a Cajun-influenced accordion solo does my heart good. This album is a huge gulp of what a roots record can be: eclectic, energetic, full of misfortune but ultimately cathartic and up-lifting. Highly recommended.
