I admire him so much- he was doing this slide show a long time ago & is still at it... in spite of running into so much apathy from his colleagues in government... I remember how excited I was when Clinton got his second term not because of Clinton but because I felt that gore would be our next president & he would bring environmental consciousness to the forefront of our priorities... after seeing the movie it was very clear to me why he had to be stopped by the powers that are now in charge... they couldn't take away the popular vote thought could they? everything he stands for is completely opposite to their agenda of an oil based economy & military invasion to support it... the movie ended on a hopeful note so I hope everyone will have the chance to see it... _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search.

Remember that you're addressing JONI MITCHELL FANS here. But you are correct in saying that we try not to act like we are, challenging as that may be. Case in point - last night I had to make a run to the Bi-Lo grocery store to get milk & OJ...since I just have the 2 items, I head for the Uscan-it checkout. One of the 4 machines is down, with a hand-written sign that says "Out Of Order". The other 3 are occupied by zombies from a George Romero film, staring aimlessly at the screen and waiting for...divine intervention, a miracle, something, I don't know. Eventually one of the zombies figured out which button to push - I think she was confused when the machine voice asked "Do you have any items under your cart?" and she didn't have a cart to look under. I completed my transaction in about 30 seconds and fled, leaving zombies #1 and #2 still gazing at their respective screens. I admit I'm not superior to everyone (still working on that) but I do think I can say that I had more on the ball than the 2 zombies I left at the Uscan-it last night. Maybe I should be politically correct and say that I had "better access to mental and cultural resources" than they did. And to top it off, last night our trivia team (reduced from 6 people to 2 due to vacations and other conflicts) finished the 10-week tournament in first place and won $250. It's tough to not feel superior when you finish first.

Shawn is surrounded by zombies, but he doesn't know it since they act no differently than the half-dead people who walk around him all day. But there's fabulous writing and acting, and everything about the movie works. Be sure and watch the deleted scenes and bloopers too. I watched it with my sisters and when it ended we all gave it a standing ovation. I suppose it probably looked silly, all of us standing 'round the TV and giving it a standing O, but we did.

In a weird fit of synchronicity, someone in the office next to mine (contractors working on installing stuff) just started singing, "Good-bye, Norma Jean" (very off-key) about one second after I closed your e-mail.

I've located a title called "Joni Mitchell Complete", published by Alfred Publishing Corp., and being advertised at SheetMusicPlus. Here's the description: =============== Joni Mitchell Complete Published by Alfred Publishing. (PGM0512) Joni Mitchell The ultimate Joni Mitchell collection! 159 songs from 17 albums: Joni Mitchell, Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark, Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Mingus, Wild Things Run Fast, Dog Eat Dog, Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm, Night Ride Home, Turbulent Indigo, Hits, and Taming the Tiger. Includes Joni's guitar tunings and a complete tuning index. =============== Does anyone have this, and could they evaluate its accuracy for me? I'm looking for accurate transcriptions of the piano/vocal music, specifically "The Last Time I Saw Richard" and "Judgement of the Moon and Stars." (This is a follow-up message to my previous & ongoing query.) Many thanks, --Tom - --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo!
