Henry" Subject: Re: Wall paper G'day Mark, Thank YOU for creating it! I was dumbstruck the moment I saw it, as if someone had accessed my most private memories and rendered them for all to see. I have to say I love many of your works, but, to me, that one stands out in a big way! Most of the time, especially after she began being booked separate from Chuck, when she wasn't onstage there she was, sitting accross from me, half the time at my behest, the other half at hers... One time I recall most vividly was when she taught me "Circle Game". That was when she first taught me the G tuning and I remember how I loved the sound of those two chords where you play the bar over the top of the neck and how beautiful that part of the melody sounded with them. One thing I can offer those who never had the pleasure and privelege of meeting/knowing Joni personally is that with her, what you see is exactly what you get. In my time of booking performers for the Cellar I met so many and one thing that was almost universal was the intense egotism and dislike of any other performer. Joni was none of that. If you ask anyone who knew her back then, Dave, Buffy, Tom, Steve, Neil, they'll tell you the same. She never acted 'the star'... when she came offstage she was just the same so, when you see her in concert or interview, the way she talks, the way she laughs, (she was always joking and laughing) that's just how she was when she came down off the stage and sat down at your table, which she often did. Anyway, the end result is, because she lets her true self shine through in any public appearance of any kind, it enables everyone to know the 'real Joni'. I don't think I said all that very well... I hope I got my meaning across. Best Always, Pat - -- "The last time I saw Joni was Detroit in '68..." http://www.angelfire.com/pq2/phenryboland/ - -- > That's a great memory to keep.

I didn't even turn on the tv until later in the evening because I was concerned that all the hopeful projections for dems winning would not come to pass... it still feels a bit unreal, kinda like when Clinton won... dems are not used to winning that much on the national level... as an independent, I agree with bill maher... this is not so much a win for dems (who must really get to work & develop some spine) as much as it is a loss for the repubs...

Yes!

Me too, especially since Karl Rove was so certain the Repubs would stay in power. A few things happened in Virginia, such as calls to voters in minority neighborhoods saying that if they showed up to the polls they'd be arrested -- the FBI is investigating those calls -- and some voters being given the wrong address. So the Dems probably won even bigger than the actual numbers show! Whoo-hoo! I feel an enormous sense of relief. So now when Bush says "let's invade Iran" he won't automatically have the votes for that or any other wacko plan he comes up with. Or, the next time he signs a non-publicized "signing statement" which, in effect, says he won't follow whatever law has just been passed (and he's done that about 800 times!), the new leaders will say, nooooo! can't do that anymore George! Not without it being noticed anyway. Even a majority of people in my homestate of Virginia, traditionally Republican, voted for a Democratic Senator! That goes to show how so many people disagree with what the Bushies are doing. And now the world knows that too! It took longer than I was happy with (about 6 years too long) for people to finally catch on to how dishonest Bush is and how destructive he and the Bushies are, but thank goodness enough people finally did! And now that Repub George Allen has given his concession speech, the Dems are in charge of both houses. For real! That's great! Good things will come from this!

That's the question. Everything I've read about the current chaotic situation there is that basically it's broken down to civil war between Shiite militia & Sunni militia. Both groups (about 85% from what I've seen) are against Al Qaeda and the idea that we're fighting Al Qaeda terrorists there is pretty much false - we've just become traffic cops in their civil war. Our efforts to train Iraqi troops to "stand up so we can stand down" has been a big failure. Meanwhile, the Kurds aren't really involved in any of this, indeed the evolution of Kurdistan has been pointed out as a success in Iraq. We're certainly never going to establish a Western-style Democracy there, and our continued presence just causes further deterioration of the infrastructure. So what exactly is a win in your eyes? It'll be a major bloodbath if we totally pull out, but isn't it one now? Certainly getting rid of Rumsfeld is a huge step in the right direction, if nothing else it will at least energize our troops and lead them to think that there will be some changes made to the heretofore disastrous gameplan.

Organizers say the music legends are among four songwriters and 25 songs to be celebrated at a black-tie gala in Toronto on Jan. 28. Raymond Egan, who wrote songs for films and Broadway musicals, and Quebec chanteur Jean-Pierre Ferland are the two other artists to be honoured. Classic songs to be inducted include Mitchell's "Help Me" and "Big Yellow Taxi" and Sylvia Tyson's "You Were on My Mind," recorded with her then-husband Ian Tyson. Canadian tenor Henry Burr and folk music impresario Sam Gesser will each receive a legacy award. Songs must be more than 25 years old to be considered for the awards, launched four years ago. "Like previous honourees, the 2007 inductees have made an invaluable contribution to Canada's cultural legacy through the timeless art of song," hall of fame chairman Peter Steinmetz said in a release. The honour comes as Mitchell is said to be working on her first new album in eight years. The acknowledgment for Carter, regarded as the father of country music in Canada, comes 10 years after his death in December 1996. His 1932 recording of "My Swiss Moonlight Lullaby" - which showcased his yodelling - is considered the first hit by a Canadian country performer. Carter, born in Port Hilford, N.S., pursued a parallel career in the United States under the name Montana Slim and performed well into his 80s. The gala performance will be broadcast on CBC Radio the following day and on CBC-TV in March 2007. - - A list of the 2007 inductees into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, announced Thursday: Songwriters: Folk music icon Joni Mitchell, country pioneer Wilf Carter, Quebec chanteur Jean-Pierre Ferland, Broadway and film composer Raymond Egan.

It was there that Jerry McNerney, an obscure Democratic candidate with almost no political experience, toppled Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, a powerful member of the Republican majority in Congress. Pombo suffered from being a protigi of disgraced former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who elevated this San Joaquin County rancher with a hatred of many environmental regulations to chairman of the House Resources Committee. He also had received contributions from convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Pombo's efforts to weaken environmental regulations inspired the anger of environmentalists who, among many others, flooded his district to promote McNerney's candidacy. Almost the entire volunteer effort was run independently of the Democratic Party. The GOP selection of Pombo to head a committee charged with guarding the nation's environment was one of the most cynical acts of its now shattered majority. His departure from Congress is long overdue. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2006/11/09 /EDG8EM8OGP1.DTL ****** here's an interesting diary on dailykos about the removal of pombo and some of the other most corrupt politicians... http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/11/9/213719/546 patrick np - rickie lee, evening of my best day ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 22:46:48 -0500 From: "patrick leader" Subject: RE: returns njc bree, i can really tell that you listen to right-wing radio or read the rightwing propaganda. or is it fox? because you're always right here with the latest rightwing spin. so here's some fact based left commentary, from dailykos: ******** One of the most moronic media lines last night, and continuing through today, is how "conservative" these newly elected Democrats are. Except, that they're not. In the Senate: Bernie Sanders, VT: So conservative that he's a "socialist". His National Journal "liberal" rating is 89.7 (out of 100). Sherrod Brown, OH: NJ liberal rating is 84.2. For comparison's sake, Harold Ford -- a real conservative Democrat -- had a 58.3 rating. Sheldon Whitehouse, RI: An unabashed liberal in every definition of the word. I mean, he defeated a liberal Republican. Claire McCaskill, MO: She's a progressive on every major issue. In fact, it was one of the GOP's lines of attacks against her. As the conservative Real Clear Politics wrote in its race summary: "State Auditor Claire McCaskill lost a close governor's race two years ago to Gov. Matt Blunt 51% - 48% and thus starts out of the gate with a high level of name recognition and a solid base of support. However, McCaskill lost 90 out of 97 counties statewide and has a problem of being perceived as too liberal outside of metro St. Louis and Kansas City. Missouri is a relatively, culturally conservative state that President Bush won by 3% in 2000 and 7% in 2004 and running the standard Republican playbook hitting McCaskill as too liberal on judges, the war, and taxes should be enough for Talent to carry the day." Amy Klobuchar, MN: There's nothing "conservative" about our newest senator from one of the bluest states in the union. Jon Tester, MT: One of the people accused of being a "conservative" Dem, yet he's against flag burning amendment, against an amendment banning gay marriage, against the Patriot Act, and against the war. He's an economic populist, social libertarian, pro-choice Democrat. He may be one of the very few senators who actually lives paycheck to paycheck. He's an organic farmer. He's not Bernie Sanders or Sherrod Brown, but a "conservative" Dem? Ridiculous. Jim Webb, VA: Politically very similar to Tester. He's libertarian on social issues, an economic populist. He wants out of Iraq and he has a personal stake in the war -- his son is actually deployed to Iraq. Sure, he served in the Reagan Administration, and sure, he can be classified as a "moderate" (whatever that means), but he's no "conservative". ****** patrick adds that Webb said, on election night: "There were a lot of misperceptions about why I got into this race. I was watching on election night some of the analysts and one of the frequent things that was being said about this campaign was that I came to the Democratic party purely on issues regarding the Iraq war. Nothing could be further from the truth. I think I and a lot of people like me had aligned themselves with the Republican party on national security issues but were always concerned about issues of economic fairness and social justice." and patrick adds that economic fairness and social justice are not conservative values. ****** Are there moderates? Yes. Is the country moving to the center? Of course. The Democrats will push it there from the far right. If you define the "center" by where the American people reside, we are the center party. But the notion that it's "conservative" Democrats who won last night is utter hogwash, a desperate gambit by Republicans to try and spin something good from the election. But they're wrong. What we saw last night is that despite the institutional advantages the GOP had -- more money, incumbency, redistricting, the VRWC, and the bully pulpit of the White House, the Speaker's Gavel, and the Senate Majority Leader's office -- Republicans still suffered epic loses. ******* patrick np - rickie lee jones, evening of my best day >That Webb guy ..even though he has a D behind his name.....is a conservative.

It's a good week for the peace movement, I agree. But in Ohio, we don't have the economy recovery that has affected the rest of the country. Furthermore, the courts have declared the current system of funding public schools illegal. We needed strong, pro-business leadership in the Governor's mansion. Instead, everyone voted anti-Bush on the Governor's race. That means we get a psychologist/preacher. His entire plan for reforming the schools: he'll have meetings and *LISTEN* to everyone. Full stop. I presume that he'll ask someone to draft a plan around, oh, maybe 2009 or so. He won't be able to write the plan himself because he has zero experience in business; he probably never managed a big team, and never handled a project bigger than a Master's thesis without *any* collaborators. I'm sure he has the best of intentions but those ain't nearly enough. I think Ohio is going to sink deeper into economic slowdown.

Jim, I know you're around Cincinnati, and maybe things there are different from things in Northeast Ohio. What's been happening there, where my family lives, is layoff after layoff. My brother, a union sheet metal worker with two kids to help support, has lately been constantly scrambling to find work. (In a mixed sort of blessing, my brother's wife has a good job at a short-staffed hospital.) It was only 2004 when The Hoover Company (then owned by Maytag, which has since been picked up by Whirlpool -- and, incidentally, Hoover was where my parents met when they both worked there) laid off about 350 workers in North Canton. That same year, The Timken Company (from which my mom retired after 29+ years) laid off at least 1,300 workers in Canton. North Canton and Canton are not big cities (about 16,000 and 80,000, respectively), and Hoover and Timken are the biggest employers in each. This happened on the Republican, "big business" watch, and there continues to be talk of more layoffs and/or of moving jobs to Mexico. Given those examples (and there are many more), do you really believe that "pro-business leadership" will save Ohio jobs? Obviously, most Ohioans don't think so, or they would've voted differently. Most "pro-business leadership" is just that: pro-business, with an eye on the bottom line. In their world, the actual workers can go to hell.

The loss would mean the terrorists win ...in essence... they broke America's back...our resolve. The tribal situation..I haven't a clue. The fanaticism and the hate for the west is alive and well. It isn't going away. We either stop them in their tracks now or wait until they come knocking on the door again. I know there are no easy answers because it is a complicated mess. The terrorists are all over the world.. some overt... but many operating covertly. And they don't shy away from their goals of annihilating anyone who thinks differently than they. I guess I have always looked at Bush and Blair as seeing these as very real threats and deciding to act on them. History will judge them either right or wrong. I know that the second world war was no piece of cake either and because of some major bloody battles we fought.... the casualties ....thousands more than in Iraq ...at times it looked like we wouldn't win the thing. We hung in there...it didn't break America's spirit...had we just pulled out ...what a different landscape today...what a different world it would be. Bree >But what constitutes a "win"?
