I had never seen Cyndi Lauper's "Carey," although I had heard about how great it was here. What an inspired cover. I think Cyndi is brilliant. It was great to finally see this performance. Questions for Muller: Have you captured the audio portion of this performance for your Joni covers? I've heard so much about this TNT tribute over the years, but I've never seen or heard any of it. Are its performances available as audio tracks anywhere? Also, any performers who have done a better job covering this song?

Wow, thanks for this link. While reading the article, I had major goosebumps. Something in the way the writer evoked an era made me want to do what Joni did -- that is driving driving driving all by myself (hopefully not forgetting my driver's licence) and really just experiencing various minutiae in the lives of people I will not probably meet in this lifetime. I always liked the image and feeling and colors and sounds and smells evoked and conveyed by a hejira. Travelling with good friends can be fun but travelling alone has an almost spiritual dimension to it. Like going to one's own mecca. Or just getting lost in the shuffle of people, accents and smiles. Since I am not famous like Joni, 'enjoying a civilian status' is something I already enjoy. Maybe next year before I conclude my 5-year grad study in the US, I can do my hejira and talk about it when I am old and grey (which is not that far away either).

In this case, you are denying that you are advocating torture, and by diverting the subject to a different subject, e.g. partial birth abortion (we were discussing the U.S. approving non-citizen suspects being detained without due process, denying them some basic rights, and torturing them in order to get information).

I haven't included them on a Volume because the show stands alone as do the other Joni Tribute CD's out there. Nothing was ever officially released, but I sure have made lots of copies of that CD and video. < Also, any performers who have done a better job covering this song? > Cyndi's version was great, and what made it even cooler was that it brought the one true moment of spontaneity to the show - the band was fading it out, and Cyndi felt inspired to do an encore/reprise and the musicians started trading these semi-panic'ed looks with each other but they drew from her inspiration and made it work great. As for other Carey covers, my favorites would include Mark Erelli, Judd Grossman, Tony Malone, Theresa Andersson, and the foreign-language versions from Chava Alberstein, Lill Lindfors & Ulf Lundell (because I love to hear Joni's songs in other languages). Carey is #12 on the list of Joni's most-covered songs with 40 covers thus far.

I opened this morning's digest and saw that Deb posted this beautiful poem. Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2006 17:08:27 -0400 From: Deb Messling Subject: School Prayer -- Poem just thought some of you might like this poem that was featured in today's Writer's Almanac, which is a free poem-a-day service provided by Garrison Keillor and the Poetry Foundation. The poem is called "School Prayer," and was written by Diane Ackerman. School Prayer In the name of the daybreak and the eyelids of morning and the wayfaring moon and the night when it departs, I swear I will not dishonor my soul with hatred, but offer myself humbly as a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder, as an architect of peace. In the name of the sun and its mirrors and the day that embraces it and the cloud veils drawn over it and the uttermost night and the male and the female and the plants bursting with seed and the crowning seasons of the firefly and the apple, I will honor all life wherever and in whatever form it may dwellon Earth my home, and in the mansions of the stars. "Huh?" I said to myself, as I wiped the sleep from my tired eyes. Is it Sunday? Is it Monday? Is it Bill Murray's "Groundhog Day"? I thought I was nuts -- no more ifs or ands or buts. And I think to myself: Didn't Smurf already post this? It's the first entry on the digest. What's going on? Monday, Monday, can't trust that day. But that was Sunday. This is Monday, isn't it? It's the first post on Monday's digest, too. What day is it? Does anyone really what know what time it is? I didn't get enough sleep. I'm dreaming. Or re-dreaming. LOL....I checked around and saw that Smurf's posting of that beautiful poem was the first entry on Digest #369 (number 9, number 9), and Deb's is the first post on Digest #371. Okay, finally my weak and a lazy mind has it all figured out. Phew! I'm still sane. (Well, *generally* speaking, anyway). So now I come out to wonder how cool it is that great Joni minds think alike, with these broader sensibilities. No wonder we're all here in this time and cyberspace! (NPIMH: "Reach out in the darkness") (Sorry, Muller! LOL!) In more swirling synchronicity, Kate and I both thought of St. Francis's Peace Prayer, and would've posted that almost simultaneously if it weren't for the time difference. With a big smile, Patti P.

Hi Alice, Well said. This brings to mind a recent conversation I had with one of my brother-in-laws who is an Air Force pilot stationed in Iraq and was back in town for my mother-in-law's funeral. I asked him what it is like there and what is going on? He said there is no "turn the other cheek" mentality in Iraq, that their philosophy is if you kill somebody in my family, I kill your whole clan. He really believes we are different than the enemy. But what we are saying by our actions is something like, "You terrorists killed our people using our airplanes as bombs so we kill your Taliban clan, and we also kill your neighbors in Iraq." I think we are one up on them in this regard. Love, Laura ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

Listening to it briefly on the afternoon before the gig, nothing really stood out. Certainly it's a far cry from the over-band-performed Whole New You and A Few Small Repairs and the better for it. Those two albums had some songs on them I really liked but balked slightly on the arrangements. The Leventhal effect, perhaps. AWNY and AFSR were my first intro to Shawn and I have to say that I much prefer her more stripped down work such as appears on Cover Girl. It's then you realise just what a great player she is. Seeing her recently playing unaccompanied, was a real treat. She's coming to London again on the 29th November. Needless to say, I have the tickets booked. Btw: at the last Shawn gig I mentioned, a guy I didn't know came up and offered me for free a copy of an off-desk recording of her performance at the Falconridge Folk Festival this summer. Excellent.

It's a Hindi greeting. It is explained in the first paragraph below in this "call for papers." I included the second paragraph, too, since we've been discussing human rights (or, sadly, the lack thereof) recently. Peace, Patti P. (still working on the Lamont rally story from last Friday!) "Namaste is a student human rights journal here at the University of Connecticut that publishes fiction and creative pieces, non-fiction papers and essays, poetry, photography and art work. Namaste is a common Hindi greeting. The array of contexts in which it is used gives it a transcendent quality. It has, over time, come to be interpreted as something of a universal gesture of empathy and good will. With the publication of each issue of Namaste the Human Rights Institute seeks to evoke the very same sentiments that are embodied in the phrase from which it derives its name. This year Namaste will assume the optional theme of responsibility. Contributors are encouraged, though by no means required, to submit pieces that pertain to this theme (presence of the theme will not be used as a criterion during the selection process). What, then, does one mean by responsibility? Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote: Man is condemned to be free; because once he is thrown into the world he is responsible for everything he does. The pervading tendency is to think of human rights as a predominantly foreign issue -that is, one concerning problems that take place far away and have no bearing on our lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. To truly take responsibility is to become aware of the distant resonances of our actions and needs despite the fact that they are not immediately apparent to us. To take responsibility means to develop the foresight necessary to perceive the repercussions of our own actions. Are we at all responsible for the exploitation of third world nations that drives the economy our way of lives depends on? Are we in any way responsible for the atrocities in Darfur through our neglect to take action despite having the ability to do so? These are questions that we as global citizens need to answer." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 17:17:15 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: njc, Namaste I had not seen the word in print, but it's what our Yoga instructor always says at the end of our session.

Still, I don't care if she does do an album with Vince or anyone. Joni still rules, and I'm glad to read there's a possiblilty.

Thanks Les for giving me the window to finally post on this topic. I am so pleased!

Kyra Great songs. Some really clever lyrics there. Me thinks you have very powerful influences. I have also been considered a lesbian by many. It's cool with me cause I am in touch with me feminine side (she is a huge dike). I am also queer for Joni Mitchell (but don't get me started). I also have an affinity to being pinned and a corner and an equal amount of pinning meself. VERY cool lyric But if these reasons I think I should die are true Then a lot of other people should go before I do! Another one of my faves. So I'm giving up, before I ever start. Cuz my last pick just fell into my guitar. I don't know why I ever thought I wasn't shit. Dreams might die, but at least you get used to it. Keep recording! Hope all is well with you.

She always tells me how much she loves Joni and how she has been practicing guitar every night and writing songs. Her mother was/is a hippie and while she is a bit younger, she regards herself as a hippie, too. So I thought she would be glad to hear that Joni might be coming out with some new songs. Oh no, she was horrified and thought that Joni was right to quit when she did. She actually compared Joni to the wrinked likes of Bread, Peter Frampton and the Rolling Stones not knowing when to hang it up. I argued that lots of people would just be glad that Joni was still creating and even if her renditions were not quite like the old days, there are always great artists who could interpret and cover (Hi Bob) her new songs. Oh no, she said, covering her face with her hands, it is too horrible to imagine. Then I said Dylan is still going strong even though he can't sing anymore and he just came out with a new album that is getting good reviews. She laughed in my face and said no one buys or listens to Dylan anymore. I said yes they do and she said no they do not! Parallel universes, eh?

I must confess to enjoying some of the tales from his "lost years." ;-) It rightly knocks him off that idolized Beatles perch and makes him just a regular bloke who liked to have some devilish fun and ultimately did not take himself too seriously. Not that I condone or overlook the hurt he caused some but I don't think he could have been the great songwriter he was without a bit of the assinine and nasty side in there. He was real and flawed like many other humans and didn't try to pretend he wasn't. What a loss.
