So Long, Marianne Come over to the window, my little darling, Ibd like to try to read you palm I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy Before I let you take me home. Chorus: so long marianne, itbs time that we began To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again Well, you know that I love to live with you, But you make me forget so very much I forget to pray for the angel And then the angels forget to pray for us. Chorus We met when we were almost young Deep in the green lilac park You held on to me like I was a crucifix As we went kneeling through the dark. Chorus Your letters say that you are beside me now Then why do I feel alone? Ibm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web Is fastening my ankle to a stone. Chorus For now I need your hidden love Ibm cold as a new razor blade You left when I told you I was curious I never said that I was brave. Chorus O you are really such a pretty one I see youbve gone and changed your name again And just when I climbed this whole mountainside To wash my eyelids in the rain.

Anyway, it sounds like un-Joni-like behaviour on several counts: - - I can't imagine Joni blurting out anything "on the net", since she apparently doesn't own a computer. (Maybe she does now.) - - it would be somewhere on the jonimitchell.com website for sure! - - she may spill her guts in song, but that story just doesn't sound like anything Joni would say Nuri, you either have an overactive imagination, or you've been fooled.

Soldier Kept A Secret Until He Died When Called For Second Iraq Tour, He Told His Mother He Was In Texas Attending School May 4, 2006 By GRAHAM RAYMAN, Newsday NEW YORK -- When Jose Gomez was recalled by the U.S. Army last year and sent back to Iraq for a second tour, he knew his mother would be afraid for him. So he told her a story: He was attending school in Texas. Last weekend, Maria Gomez, 54, learned the truth when two soldiers arrived at her Queens apartment and told her that her son had been killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad. "He didn't want her to worry," Gomez's stepfather, Felix Jimenez, 45, said Tuesday. On his first tour, his family said, Gomez lost his fiancee when she was killed while serving in Iraq in 2003. Gomez, 23, a reserve sergeant with the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division, was killed Friday by a roadside bomb in Baghdad. Gomez, manning the machine gun on a Humvee, survived one roadside bomb before the bomb that would kill him detonated, Jimenez said. In the modest two-bedroom apartment in Corona, a section of Queens, where the Dominican immigrant grew up, Maria Gomez paged through photos of her son and spoke of his conscientious nature. "He was simple, he was thoughtful, he was everything to me," she said. "He never forgot my birthday," she said, "and always sent me flowers." Jimenez, a truck driver for the city department of environmental protection, spoke of his love for his stepson, but he also expressed strong views on the war. "I don't agree with it," he said. "It's not worth it. We're fighting and dying for nothing." Hoping to raise money for a college education, Gomez joined the U.S. Army in 2000, soon after he graduated from high school. "He wanted to study, and we were poor, so I thought that it was a good idea for him to join," said Maria Gomez, who said she now earns $9 an hour packing air fresheners at a Long Island plant. At basic training in Fort Hood, Texas, Jose Gomez met Ana Laura Esparza Gutierrez, 21, a private first class from Houston. They got engaged in 2003 while both were serving in Iraq, where Gomez was a mechanic working on Bradley fighting vehicles and Gutierrez was a military police officer. Gutierrez was killed by a bomb blast on Oct. 1, 2003, along with two other soldiers. It was in part the loss of Gutierrez that led Gomez to decide not to re-enlist in 2004 when his term was up and to pursue a career in accounting, his family said. He left active duty and came home to Corona, where he met Marie Canario, 21, a student at Suffolk Community College. In 2005, the Army recalled Gomez from reserve status and sent him back to Iraq. "He found out on a Thursday and had to go on a Monday," Canario said. "He had to go, but I don't think he wanted to go. I was crying and upset, but he said, `Don't worry about me.'" Before he left, the couple became engaged. While in the Army, Gomez dutifully deposited money in his mother's bank account, often his entire paycheck, his mother said. But she questioned why his checks still said `Army' when she thought he was out of the service. Not wanting her to worry, she said, her son had concocted the story that he was in school in Texas, when he was in the Army, serving in Iraq. - ----------- An early happy Mother's Day "present", courtesy of Bushco. God bless that poor mother. Can you imagine?! She didn't even know he was there. He loved his mom so much he wanted to protect her from worry. And now....he's just gone. "Like the turn of a page." Like Casey and 2,300+ other Americans. And, of course, the 35,000+ Iraqis..... There but for the grace of God or heaven above or astronauts go our sons and daughters. Sorry, I'm starting to rant. I can't take it, I can't seem to believe it, that this just goes on an on. I really didn't mean to make this a long post, but (LOL! I'm thinking of what Bob Muller just wrote: "Then there's the "Mars - Venus" thing where women are always asking a guy "what's wrong" just because we're being quiet. "Nothing's wrong, I just don't have the desire to blab incessantly like you do, sweetheart - OK?"") Sorry, sweethearts, I know I'm blabbing incessantly, but I can't help it. Something is wrong here! Everybody look what's going down! Okay, back to yesterday, there is something I feel compelled to share with you now. Our commencement speaker was CT Congresswoman Rosa Delauro. She is a passionate speaker, and I thought she was great. In typical commencement speech fashion, she basically urged these bright young educated minds to take it to the streets and fix the world's problems, which she listed. Later, my ex in-laws, Republicans, said they thought the speech was "too political". Huh? I thought she presented some sad facts/realities/problems, and asked these grads to think about how to fix them. (But they're not going to fix it up too easy.) ANYWAY, at one point in her speech she said: "We must bring our troops home from Iraq." So, naturally, I clapped. Alone! Out of 10,000 people in that crowd, I was the only clapper! I am still amazed by that. I was ready for a standing ovation, but the cheese stands alone, I guess! Later, in the giant mass of shiny happy people in the streets, as we walked to the School of Family Studies lawn party, I saw Rosa being escorted to her car by 5 or 6 policemen. She was surrounded by them, but somehow I just went straight up to her car (did I really shove two policeman politely out of my way??), where she had just sat down. I poked my head into her space and gave her a big smile and a thumbs up and said: "Great job, Rosa! Thank you!" She beamed and shook my hand and said "thank you" and then I pleaded: "Please bring our kids back from Iraq" and she nodded, seriously, looked straight into my eyes and said: "I'm trying." (A quick google just netted me this gem: http://www.house.gov/delauro/press/2006/April/iraq_speech_4_28_06.html I was thrilled by this encounter with her, and friends and kin just shook their heads when they saw how I bee-lined straight up to her. "There she goes again" was the shared look in their eyes. I am so glad to have had that opportunity. I wasn't even looking for her, and there she was. On the day my son graduated, I got to shake a congresswoman's hand and send up my prayer for all the other mothers' sons and daughters. Death and birth (commencement) and death and birth (commencement). Joni duality strikes again.

Mine will be halfway through this week, and he has (in his own words) "kicked academic A$$" this semester. As for the ever-rising body count - yes, it is always very sad news. The most recent Rolling Stone (the same one with the 'Worst President In History') article had another piece about how the advances in field military medical technology are allowing the body count to be lower than it would have been in the Vietnam era, and that it is deceiving because those who are still alive but severly damaged is a substantial number. I remember when I was watching the body count and thinking that I had more Joni Covers than we had dead soldiers. Well, I fell behind a while back, with no hopes of catching up anytime soon...the current score: Joni Covers 2059, Dead Soldiers 2417. Maybe we can start a campaign to bring our troops home, buy them some studio time, and have them all record Joni songs.

And to you for talking him out of military service and for managing to go places and talk to people as easily as you do. You may have a career opportunity there! Congrats to your son too, Muller, for reaching the halfway mark. You have to love the journalist who can continue to write about one family's situation in order to keep this in the news. It seems that once the whole thing has been going on for a while, the body count is no longer news, at least not the kind that people want to pay a lot of attention too, because it becomes the same old same old. It also made me realize something. Canada didn't send anyone to Iraq, but we've got peacekeeping forces in Afghanistan. We lost a few last week or the week before - four, in fact. It was front page news here for about a week with the media covering the funerals, the prime minister not wanting to put flags at half mast and so on. When you lose a few, it's big news. When you lose a lot, it's not? - --- Bob.Muller@Fluor.com wrote: > Patti, > > Congratulations on your son's graduation!

A piece of string walks into a bar, sits down and orders a beer. The barman looks at the string and says, "Sorry, pal, but we don't serve pieces of string here." So the piece of string goes home, fluffs himself up at both ends, loops one end of himself through the other and pulls tight. Then he leaves, walks back into the bar and orders a beer. "Look, buddy," the bartender says, "I already told you we don't serve your kind. You are a piece if string, aren't you?" "No," the string replies, "I am a frayed knot." - - - - Here's one from the late, great Henny Youngman: I was in a bar and the guy next to me fell down. So I helped him back up, and he fell down again. I helped him up again. He fell down again. So I looked in his wallet, got his address, helped him into into my car, drove to his house, and rang the doorbell. When his wife answered the door I said, "Mrs. Smith, I have your husband here." She took one look at him and said, "Where's his wheelchair?" - --Smurf Tired of spam? Yahoo!
