I can't make it to Melbourne but, I wanted to wish you well for the gig. Dry Cleaner is such a fun song. I hope you get to record it one day and Bob will snatch it up for a covers volume.

They assure me that they will be offering them up to the list again after they have copied them. I am also hoping my brother will run off a few more copies of each to send out. Keep those Joni performances flowing.

There's actually been a buzz since his 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention - debunking the whole "Red State/Blue State" ideology. I remember watching it with Valerie and as soon as it was over I looked at her and said "Omigod - when can I vote for this guy for President?" And there's a dark side of me that is very worried for him, remembering what happened to JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and others. Like Joni said - "They kill people in this country who bring hope..."

Then, quickly browsing through her web site last night, I saw she mentioned discovering and loving Paul Simon and Carole King in her parents' record collection. I also think she mentioned Guns'n Roses, but by then it was so late and I was just picking up odd words, so better check it out for yourself on the site I listed! [quick repeat: http://www.nerinapallot.com/ To listen to the songs: press on "entertainment" (make sure to keep the Control key down if you have a pop-up blocker) and select the Sophia song] It was the first time I listened to her other songs, I must say it did not start too good, I really did not take to the first 2, but I liked the rest a lot more, can imagine getting quite hooked on them (or maybe fed up with them, it's too early to say). Anyway, just like I thought "Sophia" was a Joni song, so I also think that "Geek Love" is completely Fiona Apple. Best to all, Lieve in London. - -----Original Message----- From: Lucy Hone [mailto:aurabright@supanet.com] Sent: 05 October 2006 15:22 To: Joni List; Lieve Reckers Subject: Nerina Pallot and Joni Lieve, I love this song and think of Joni when I hear it There is one particular change in it where she just out-joni's Joni on the high note....

On our very first evening in Lisbon we went to a theatre-complex in the center and my parents bought us tickets to some musical circus show with clowns and animals or whatever. My Mother had this binocular, you know, like the ones that old ladies use when they go to the theatre to better see an opera lol, and she gave it to me so i could see exactly what was going on the stage. Ok, so we're climbing up the stairs to the hall, and people are staring at us, especially at me, like they're wondering "what the hell is THAT?". Mama thought it was because we were dressed like turists, but it was really strange because everyone was REALLY staring at me and we couldn't figure out why. Ok, so we're sitting in one of the front rows, i'm with the binocular, everyone is still staring at me like i was an alien, the hall lights go out, the curtain goes up and the show begins. A group of 20 men and women enters the stage in a lovely dance, all men and women naked! A voice from the speakers goes: Welcome to the Crazy Horse show! LOL! We set there for like 15 minutes watching naked men and women dancing and singing and God knows what, but i can assure you everyone was staring at ME, and we finally realized why! LOL! We didn't know it was a complex, and we simply went to the wrong hall! No one told us it was the wrong one, not even when they saw a 10 years old child marching with his parents into the Crazy Horse show! LOL! My Mother wanted to leave the hall the moment she realized what the "show" was all about, but my Father wanted to stay "a bit more"! LOL! And i was watching everything with a binocular and telling mt parents i really liked the MUSIC! LOL! That's a family classic story that always makes us laugh our asses off whenever we remember that Crazy Horse show evening in Lisbon.

I'm trying to be cool, fifty-fifty fire and ice, but the fire is winning. Ned Lamont (anti-war Senate candidate) is having a big rally on my campus tomorrow, and General Wesley Clark is coming to endorse him. To me, this is huge. General Clark was against the war from the beginning. Do you see the both sides now in this? He's a military man, joining up with an anti-war candidate. Rocka my soul! I helped the campaign find the public space, by connecting them with the powers that be. It was the least I could do, and it was my honor and pleasure to do so. No biggy. Just giving peace a chance. Well, tonight the campaign coordinator called to thank me, and asked: "Would you like to be introduced to Ned and Wes personally?" Huh? WHAT? What'd you say? Well, hell, YEAH! What will I say to them? I think I might break down. Right now I am on the verge of tears. Thank God that they are speaking out against the madness. (NPIMH: David Crosby singing/yelling that: SPEAK OUT, IF YOU DARE!) I think I might say: thank you so much for speaking out against this affreux war. (affreux...that's French...i don't even know the meaning in English....it's the best word in my head right now, better than any English word I can think of). Affreux, affreux. Now I'm getting nervous. I get so damned timid. What do I say to a freakin' GENERAL? I don't know the military! (She don't know the system Plus She don't understand). Deep breath. Thanks for letting me vent my excitement and anxiety. Tomorrow is going to be great. I just know it. I hope a lot of people come. I hope the message spreads like wildfire. I hope we are rockin' in a free world outside the Student Union. I hope the students show up. I hope they start to understand. I hope, I hope, I hope. And if someone could send me some good vibrations, I would be grateful. Love, Patti P., hoping I can sleep. I haven't been this excited since the night before the Joni Tribute! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2006 00:23:28 -0400 From: frednow@aol.com Subject: Re: njc, senator speech, now Barack Obama ROCKS! When people say they are sick of politics, it's not really politics they're sick of ... I know what they mean, but I prefer the late Senator Paul Wellstone's definition: "Politics is not about power. Politics is not about money. Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning. Politics is about the improvement of people's lives. It's about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and in our world. Politics is about doing well for people." What people are sick of is the callous contempt for government and the governed, as exhibited so egregiously by scum like Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay and their ilk. Anyone not familiar with the ugly details of exactly what crimes they've committed should watch the recent Moyers on America program "Capitol Crimes." And that so many of these miscreants wrap themselves in religion (never mind patriotism ... that's the "old" refuge of scoundrels) only makes their acts all the more despicable. As Woody Allen wrote in his film Hannah and Her Sisters, "If Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up." The problem is not politics, the problem is how certain people behave in the name of politics. What better example could we have of pure, shameless hypocrisy than Congressman Foley, who was chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, and had introduced legislation this past July July to protect children from exploitation by adults over the Internet. How perfectly corrupt can it get? And that's why I'm so excited by Barack Obama ... say what you will about his positions on issues, here is a man who clearly does not have contempt for government and politics (as defined by Wellstone). He is a real mensch, and that's what we desperately need, and we need it NOW. -Fred Simon -----Original Message----- Kate Bennett Thanks everyone for the obama links... I love what I am learning about him & there has been a buzz ever since that iowa speech which I am so so sorry I missed ... don't hold back no matter what others say about being sick of politics ... who isn't sick of them yet we must somehow stay aware... our world is at stake ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

I just realized I know someone like obama who has affected me deeply. A friend who is now president of a college. A latino who grew up poor. Now a leader of our community & more importantly his cultural community. Like obama, he has no contempt for those who were clearly contemptuous of him as a young boy merely because of his skin color or his name or whatever. I know what you are saying about your daughter. we have a zillion grandkids (mostly my husbands) requiring our hope.
