Hey JoniBuds, I do worry about her voice, but as long as she can sing at all, I'll be happy to hear anything new that she has recorded. I admit, I can't stand big band music; I don't know why, it just bothers me somehow. I did appreciate BSN a bit, but don't listen to it anymore. I hope, if it does happen (yes, I'm skeptical) that they aren't big band types but Joni types. All this talk of a new album got me remembering the day I found out that TTT was released. I tend to have really limited contact with the media because I'm so intense and I get triggered too much. Anyway I had no idea that a new Joni album was on the horizon. I was driving in my car listening to NPR or something when on comes Sex Kills. I was mesmerized in a millisecond, my mind suddenly on alert, could it be? I had heard only the music, and then that voice. I was overjoyed and suddenly my reality shifted. Where was I driving to? Who the fuck cares? I turned my wheel towards the nearest music store. All jazzed up, senses keen. I entered the store and made a beeline for the Joni section. There it was! My next thought was, "Oh shit, there's trouble in paradise." I knew by her awesome but sad self-portrait that Joni's relationship with Klien was in trouble. I felt really sad about that. I got over it and went back into my trance as I listened to another treasure from Joni. Treasure? Gem? There are no words to describe how much every Joni album means to me. Hundreds of hours of joy, and so much more. Love, Alice ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 08:36:11 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: Dylan and Joni and old has beens Kakki, you could always point out that Modern Times was the #1 album in the country when it came out. That may not be evidence that people are listening, but they are buying. And while the Stones had a long string of weak ones, "A Bigger Bang" from last year was really a powerhouse and could have come out at the same time as Exile, Sticky Fingers & etc. (lyrical references notwithstanding). Joni remains relevant and still has so much to say that needs to be said. I'm not exactly holding my breath but I'm excited as well about the news and you know I'll be looking for covers of those new songs as soon as they come out. And speaking of Lennon - Coverville's latest show is a Lennon tribute, he'll be doing a Joni tribute on her birthday as well so stay tuned for that. If he uses ALL the tracks I've sent him it'll be a 2-hour show!

Like you'd never hear someone groaning about Chuck Berry making a new album, or Willie Dixon or Memphis Slim or Bo Diddley. That's one thing I've always really respected about the first couple waves of rock and roll, that even though in a sense there was this rebellion against their elders (parents), there was still this tremendous respect and affection for their MUSICAL elders. The reason I like it when music draws from the past is that it keeps a kind of circle going.

Here is one, a piece she described as "a good poem for courage through tough times, a soldier's poem, really." HOLY WAR There's nothing on earth As unholy as a war, The rich sacrifice the poor. If I had a heart I'd cry. In fairy tales the good go to heaven And the evil go to hell, Ring the funeral bell. If I had a heart I'd cry. Holy earth, religion has failed us, It failed to make us kind, It spoke of light but kept us blind.

He just sauntered out on stage with his guitar (which had a fantastic sound to it) and got a sizeable standing ovation for just being JT.

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. To St. Francis's Peace Prayer: Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace... To Alice who wrote: We are becoming more and more like the governments that we are trying to "free" people from. If we want to be a country who fights for freedom, human dignity, and human rights we cannot accomplish this by becoming more and more tyrannical, advocating torture, and denying ANY HUMAN their human rights. To Albert Einstein: "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." To random SIQUOMB lyrics: We're only particles of change, orbiting around the sun.... Stardust, golden........ Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching...... Judgment of the moon and stars........ We are stardust Billion year old carbon We are golden Caught in the devil's bargain And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden Who let the greedy in And who left the needy out Again and again the same situation For so many years Well there're so many sinking now You've got to keep thinking You can make it thru these waves You've got to spread your light like blazes All across the sky And so I ask you please Can I help you find the peace and the star Just at this moment of the world We're very hungry for a sweeter fare Give me some time I feel like I'm losing mine Out here on this horizon line With the earth spinning And the sky forever rushing Still I send up my prayer, With love, Patti P., perhaps too much in touch with the breakdown of this century these days NPIMH: Twisted ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 12:31:44 -0400 From: "Jenny Goodspeed" Subject: Re: The REAL interview This is a great interview Les, thanks! Some people may shake their heads at her inflated (and rightly so) sense of self, but it makes me smile: "People were just not ready for a lot of my later work  they had their heads in the sand, or up their asses, or something. I was just dismissed as Chicken Little and now, of course, everything I wrote is with us in a way that nobody can possibly deny." And her response to whether Kipling would have minded her making some changes to his poem: "Oh, no! I've made it better," she says with a smoky laugh.

There is a very old 'truth' that you become what you hate or fear. We can see it in our personal lives if we dare to look at ourselves. We can see it on a bigger scale in how our country's current administration (which I don't define as our country btw) is acting like the terrorists they are trying to wipe out. Indeed it has become for some a crusade vx a jihad. There was a significant portion of the population, after the attacks of 9/11, who urged our country to not take the path of revenge. There have been a few visionary souls who have shown us how this can be a very realistic & practical choice but so far, the vast majority of leaders do not trust in the validity of this reality. It is a very difficult path, personally & politically. We need a visionary in our administration.

I'm happy and proud to hear that Joni feels she *has* to join the chorus of artists' voices speaking out against the global insanity. "Pockets of orchestration"....I can deal with that. I think the key point is that she's not OBLIGATED to create this work but rather feels driven to do it. There's a big difference in the two, I think.

A friendly young woman named jennifer greeted us telling us the store represented the top 20 rock photographers. I said that's a great shot of neil at zuma. she had no clue that i was talking about neil young. but she perked right up when i told her i was with a fan site for joni and wanted more information on diltz's work but she didn't know zip about the autographed editions. The answer to my big question: Was joni at the opening? NO ! so we hadn't missed a chance to raise our glasses to her. Jennifer called the co-owner, Sam Milgrom to get the info on the autographed ones which were not available right now in that store! She handed over the phone to me. the photos of joni were basically the ones that have been on diltz's website for a couple of years. they can be bought at any of the stores including the denver one. joni #1 on henry's site is the one offered in platinum and silver gentian with her autograph. there are plenty of these for everyone if you can afford the hefty price! there are 10 of the platinum prints at $7500 with the price going up as there are fewer left! the silver gentian are $2000 each ( an edition of 50) with the price rising as there are fewer left. Take a look at http://www.henry'sgallery.com/mainframe.html There were 4 photos of Joni on the wall. one of the ones with gram, on the way to the csny photo shoot, (a slightly different one than the one on his site) Joni seated at the dulcimer (color) in that long knit dress the famous windowsill one (color) the b&w portrait that is the autographed one 11 by 14 open editions are $400, 16 by 20 limited to 275 are $800 20 by 24(b&w) or 20 by 30 (color) limited to 100 are $1200 except the autograohed one which is $400, $1000, and $1400 respectively sans autograph Prices do not include the frames there were 4 photographers featured, one named marshall who had some books for sale. in one he had the photo shoot of joni for Look magazine. this wasn't on the wall. It was really a nice one. in all i would recommend a look see if you are near one of the galleries. jennifer said henry is writing a book and carries a notebook everywhere, scribbling down snippets of conversations. i said hey ray bradbury does that and got another blank look. there's kakki's parallel universe at work. anyway the book is something to look forward to. personally, even though i loved seeing the images- i'm waiting for the day when i buy a painting by joni. lesli - ---------- Original Message ------------- Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2006 17:21:37 -0700 From: To: Subject: Photography of Henry Diltz >Kate wrote: > >"Let us know how much the photos are going for (if they are not already >gone)!

Maybe Simon can shed some light on that situation? Cheers, Christopher ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 12:36:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Bryan Subject: Joni and Robert Plant I would love to hear a musical collaboration by Joni and Robert Plant. Sounds unlikely, I know. But whenever I listen to Plant's "Principle of Moments" album (and I listen to it a lot), I can't help but hear some Joni in it, the guitar and percussion mainly. I would much prefer the participation of someone like Robert over some of the previous collaborators and contributors on the existing albums. Of course, this thought comes up now only because it appears a new freakin' CD is in the works! Holy cow.

Hi Bree, If the Intel officers would do a better job I would definitely be better off. They are torturing me right now. I bought Intel at 35.94, and it is down in the 20's! I may as well have gone to a casino. So odd, the odds. I thought the Pentium processor stuff was a safer bet. As for torture, I'm of the opinion torture is torture regardless of the innocence of a person. Human life is a resource, and we would all be better off if we strove to tap into it at all levels rather than waste it on any level. I'd rather talk about logos instead of debating about logic in discussions about torture. So, whose getting on with logoing? Infest me man. I want to catch jonifest fever. Let's celebrate Joni above the tumult and the strife... how can we keep from singing?

We drove into NYC yesterday afternoon and spent hours at Strawberryfield ... singing with all the other Lennonites. Some came to sing - some came to listen - some came just to feel ... it was beautiful. For those of you who aren't aware - Strawberryfields is a spot in Central Park in memory of Lennon and across the street from where he was gunned down. Many of the musicians said they come there for his birthday and and for the anniversary of his death. Some of them come other days as well and have impromptu jams Some said they prefer to come on his birthday - as his anniversary is just too sad for them still. The range of ages was heart warming as well - - these children taught their children well! My Meg said the whole feeling reminded her of Jonifest people ... I agreed. It had a real Jonifest feel to it. There were candles and flowers and incense burning. Some made signs and set up favorite pictures ... musicians changed in and out of the circle but everyone sang or swayed or mouthed the words - It was a beautiful day - all we needed was a common bond and love .... Imagine! Peace, Susan Kate Bennett wrote: We had the most wonderful tribute to john tonight on his birthday... he would have been 66... 28 or so perfomers crunched onstage to sing the finale, 'give peace a chance'... everyone in the audience (200 or so) was singing too & we just couldn't stop... chanting over & over... people held up their little table candles & cell phones :~}... it felt for a moment that maybe in some small way we sent out some good peaceful energy like a ripple sent out into the cosmos...

Anyone can act in any way they want and justify it as for the good of their country. Those such as Colin Powell and John McCain oppose the reinterpretation, not because they don't want to protect the U.S., but because the rightly fear for what it may mean for our very own soldiers who are captured and interrogated in the future. Jerry's point is well illustrated here, in this political cartoon: http://www.comicspage.com/comicspage/main.jsp?catid=1177&custid=69&file=20060929edwrt-b-p.jpg&code=edwrt&dir=/donwright Torture is bad karma. Remember the Golden Rule? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." If only everyone lived by this one. Imagine! I wish we could have one international "Golden Rule Day" and test it out. This whole torture thing really freaks me out. WHO could do this to another human being? Who could stand there and intentionally inflict pain on another human being? I read somewhere that bodies were found Iraq that had been tortured with POWER TOOLS and acid. OMG....the world is going mad. Violence begets violence begets violence.... Why didn't they listen to the generals, who said in February 2003: "If we go in (to Iraq) unilaterally, or without the full weight of international organizations behind us, if we go in with a very sparse number of allies, if we go in without an effective information operation.....we're liable to supercharge recruiting for al-Qaida." - --General Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Commander "It's pretty interesting that all the generals see it the same way, and all the others who have never fired a shot, and are hot to go to war, see it another....We are about to do something that will ignite a fuse in this region that we will rue the day we ever started..." - --Marine General Anthony Zinni, former Head of Central Command for U.S. Forces in the Middle East Deep sigh.

REBECCA EPSTEIN ~ Photo by Henry Diltz Now on Sunset: Jimi at Woodstock am Milgrom has always brought the rock. A native of Detroit Rock City, from the late b70s until the early b90s, he helmed the famous Sambs Jams record store b once the countrybs largest b in Ferndale, Michigan, as well as the still-running Magic Bag nightclub, which he sold in 1996 when he moved to sunny SoCal. Here, he ditched the vinyl for the visual and opened a music poster gallery on Melrose Avenue. He relocated that shop last year to Sunset Boulevard, where it became Mr. Musichead, a gallery for rock bnb roll art. Things kept a steady beat until just nine months ago, when Milgrom received a call from elementary school friend Richard Horowitz. Horowitz works with Yoko Ono as the exclusive purveyor of John Lennonbs original artworks. In 2001 he teamed up with legendary rock photographer Henry Diltz to open the Morrison Hotel Gallery in Manhattan, specializing in bfine art music photography.b MoHo was a hit, and, after opening a branch in La Jolla, Horowitz and Diltz (who shot the Doorsb classic Morrison Hotel album cover) decided it was time to reach music fans in L.A. bRich said, bYou have the perfect space and location, how about we merge?bb recalls Milgrom. Last weekend was the grand opening of Morrison Hotel Gallery, L.A. According to Milgrom, more than 400 people b including veteran photographers and members of brock royaltyb b checked in to check out its selection of limited-edition prints and portfolios by Diltz, Jim Marshall, Herb Greene, and Bob Gruen, among others. Now with Milgrombs roster, the gallery represents 25 photographers, including Merri Cyr, Jeanette Beckman, and Lynn Goldsmith to break up the boysb club. Print prices range from $400 to $10,000. At $50,000, the portfolios are for the totally obsessed b and wealthy. Still, Milgrom insists the gallery succeeds not only because it offers a combination of rarity, quality, and diversity (youbll find pix of hip-hop, punk, jazz, and metal as well as classic rock artists), but also affordability. bI thought our clientele was going to be just Baby Boomers, but we have a lot of first-time buyers in their 20s who had posters on their walls in college. They see something in the gallery for $400 and think, bGosh, I spent that on clothing last week, but I can have [a print] the rest of my life E2 and love it!b bRebecca Epstein Morrison Hotel Gallery. 7517 W.

"As far as I am concerned I would be happy if she farted thru a flanger for 75 minutes., I am sure it would be better than 90% of the dribble out there today." Nobody but you! And to see her again.....wouldn't we all go to the ends of the earth? Ain't no mountain high enough! Sell our vehicles or homes or whatever it took? I will NEVER forget the RUSH when, after sitting with my best friend and her daughter, chatting excitedly at the Oakdale Theater on May 27, 2000, Joni appeared, like a vision, through the curtains on to the stage. Janis and I just grabbed each other's arms and gasped: "OH MY GOD! THERE SHE IS!" (I just got chills and goosebumps all over again writing that.)

But, when it came the paintings of Jesus being scourged at the pillar or seeing the bullies laugh and mock, as if drunk, driving nails into his hands and feet, I could not help ask myself the same questions you ask, Patti. And, this was before kindergarten. Even a tiny tot understands evil is not understandable. How could a human be capable of such horrific deeds? I came across some sort of "psychology" magazine at a foreign car parts store, back in the early 80's, which made sense to these questions. The article had something to do with soldiers from Central and South America who had come to study at the School of The Americas, here in W. Va., or somewhere around there, who came to learn the techniques of torture by American soldiers. They had kept profiles on several men who were trained to be professional torturers. Several years passed and the men they trained to hurt and kill, like some vicarious thrill, had all become mad...mad as insane! No "rescue remedies" for those guys. They were total goners. They recruit and train them, knowing that they are of a certain mindset and then set them free to fly like nice, respectable uniformed hawks, peddling hate and calling it freedom. Maybe now they train them knowing how to better handle the post traumatic karma. This is just one aspect. Other countries have their brutal teaching methods on how to make men, women and children suffer under the hands of these programmed, evil minded brutes they train. The point I'm making, is the point you're making. Karma's gonna get you, no matter who you are, now or later, without a doubt. Yet, too bad, that it seems that everything in love and war is fair. Too bad for the torturers, too. Must get off this subject. It's too heavy. - --- Patti Parlette wrote: > Torture is bad karma. > > Remember the Golden Rule? > > "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." > +++This whole torture thing really freaks me out.
