It doesn't mean I'm a satanist. >People shouldn't attribute motives to other people they don't know. Holy Hera's High Heels! The above statements certainly jumped out at ME as I read through the latest digest! Just to illustrate my agreement with the above, I'll chime in that I've read *The Satanic Bible* too-- once when it first came out, and once again fairly recently, following a conversation I happened to have with someone, in which we reluctantly agreed Anton LaVey was a highly intelligent and irreverent provocateur, not merely a poseur, as one might think without actually reading any of his views... at any rate, I'm certainly no Satanist. As I wrote in my Goddess religionist song "Witch", and am afraid can't resist quoting, under the circs: "No, 'the Devil' doesn't turn me on He's too much of a chauvinist pig No self-respecting feminist Would be caught dead around A masculine ego that big!" Heh heh... but I digress. Or do I? >Also, I really don't think anyone on the Joni list wants hate. ... Well, I certainly don't! Just to reply at face value, even though I've missed some of the prior dialogue here, clearly. ... "Unknown" wrote (name not cited): >... i noticed you also read ann > coulter. > no one reads her except to hate. please don't pretend it's for any > other > reason. that's what pisses me off. Hey, *I've* read Ann Coulter, but not for the purpose of hate. Though truth to tell, I certainly find myself somewhat, er, affection-challenged in HER direction! Still, I'm planning to review her book *Godless* on the Bluestocking Book Binge page on my professional website. And I don't only read writers I agree with. Now where's the intellectual stimulation in that? However, if the day ever comes when I agree with anything the woman says, I hereby cheerfully promise to have my head examined! :-) Blessings, Isadora http://www.ladyisadora.com "Well-behaved women rarely make history." - --Laurel Thatcher Ulrich - --------------------------------- Want to start your own business?

I'm listening to the Cover Story podcast right now. What a great theme for a podcast. The best thing is I finally get to hear your voice. You've been podcasted. Interesting assortment of Joni covers. Seems to be a little heavy on the "speed metal" side. These are all very interesting for people who are familiar to Joni's songs but they would not make me want to know more about Joni's music. I guess you know my taste in Joni covers by now. I prefer those who stick to Joni's original arrangements and just enhance it with their own vocal tones and instrumentation. I don't think anyone has ever improved on her songs by radically changing the genre or style of the song. I particularly liked Eastern Rain. Who was that version by? Of course, no prizes for guessing Sex Kills by Roine Stolt would be in there. Your favourite cover I think. I must say, I am quite partial to that one too. The lyrics suit the harder edge. Nice show.

Joni Mitchell Cover Story Howdy M-L, Thanks for listening to it. I had no idea that Brian was going to use that phone call (I first contacted him in February I think) but I don't think I sounded too bad. It was certainly not the show that *I* would have put together, Brian is a child of the 80's and is likely to get more excited over Duran Duran or Night Ranger covers, so I 'played to the judge' and sent him stuff that was more poppy and edgy. He definitely likes covers that are miles away from the originals, as he has said many times. I don't know if you caught it but he said his favorite cover of alltime is Jason Falkner (ex-Jellyfish) covering BSN - it IS a dandy. Hopefully we can make it an annual event and I can sneak some Bonnie, Prince, and JT in there as well next year. Eastern Rain is by The Lazy Eyes - just came out a couple of years ago which is pretty remarkable. Has a very accessible techno feel to it. Thanks for making the effort to check it!

He recalled seeing her sing at a Toronto club in the 1960s. "I had an enormous crush on Joni Mitchell," said the 65-year-old Clayton-Thomas, whose 1968 debut album with Blood Sweat and Tears sold 10 million copies worldwide. "She was 18 years old and absolutely stunning and sang like an angel and wrote pure genius. Her little line about 'the painted ponies' . . . in (her song) 'Circle Game' stuck in my mind. And so when I wrote 'Spinning Wheel,' somehow or another 'painted ponies' crept into it, and that was courtesy of Joni Mitchell." Five of Mitchell's hits are among the songs being inducted, including "Help Me," "Big Yellow Taxi," "Woodstock", "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio" and "Both Sides Now" (a.k.a. "Clouds"). The honour comes as Mitchell is said to be working on her first new album in eight years.'

I called the gallery, but the woman who I neded to speak with was not there, and hasn't called back, so I'm not holding my breath that they will. I'll continue to beat the bushes for something Joni related for the upcoming holiday gift giving festivities. I will not be deterred! One year our Ms Joni, during here convert runs with Bob Dylan, was here locally. Well we went, and passed on the TTT lithograph. We should not have, but we did. Well that decision haunted me, until I located a great woman at the record company (Reprise Records) who sent me one of the ones they had on their walls, and for FREE!. Welll, I sent her a Vermont teddy bear as a thank you. When my wife opened it, there were tears everywhere. When we went to see Joni the next time and their were signed lithographs for sale, well we got one. For that Christmas I had it nicely framed, and its' on the wall now (safe and sound). When the opcomnig record/album/CD/or web downloadable is releaesd, someone here will be in the line to get one.

You wrote: Speaking of updating Smurf, I think I have a TV Joni mention - well, not her name, but a lyric. On last night's ep of "The (American) Office", the staff learns that the board decided to shut down their branch. Pam's ex-fiance (Roy), who works in the warehouse, is lamenting the fact that he and Pam will no longer work with each other and he says to the camera: "You know that Cinderella song, "You Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone"? That pretty much says it better than I know how to say it...in words". Wait a minute! It's just now dawning on me that there probably IS a Cinderella song with that title and it wasn't a clever Joni Mitchell reference at all. Even though I laughed out loud because I thought THAT was the joke - that it's Joni Mitchell but he thinks it's Cinderella. Yep, just googled it - it's a Cinderella song. Aye aye aye. Read into things much? Is that a sign of JMOCD Patti? - ----- LOL....no, not really. I mean, any Joniphile would hear that line and think of Big Yellow Taxi. Right? So your experience seems to be out on some borderlines of Joni normalcy, but still within the borderlines.

Jeff describes it as an installation & as the artist in our family, says he thought it was very well done. And of course, the crowd was as interesting as the show! All of the prints (if that is the right word to describe them) were the same greenish color throughout the gallery rooms. Very striking. And, very different stuff from her paintings. (And not inexpensive. I forget how much the catalogue & poster were being sold for but definitely more than the Mendel catalogue.) It was great to again see Les, Kakki, Julius, Steve, Michele, Pearl & Steve & to meet Lesli & her husband & Julius's friend. Jeff's son (who studied jazz guitar at LA Music academy where he learned how highly regarded she is among the professors there) & girlfriend joined us too. They live in LA & were thrilled to be there. Les, Kakki, Lesli & husband, Jeff & I met for dinner then walked over to the gallery. Weird coincidence was that walking into the restaurant we ran into two good friends of ours from SY who were also attending the opening. Small world. Joni spent some of her time 'backstage' & came out into the main gallery several times where she was instantly surrounded by folks each time. At several points she was explaining some of the art but I couldn't hear. The first thing I saw upon entering the gallery, were the lyrics to Beat of Black Wings on the wall. To the left, were the lyrics to one of her new songs. Both the height of the gallery wall so big. But I'm leaving the best for last. I'd given up on the chance to try & meet Joni because of the crush of the crowd each time she came out. So was just visiting with everyone & enjoying catching up with everyone. I was chatting with Les when he all of a sudden said, do you want to meet Joni? Yes!!!!! (said I), so he led me back to the 'backstage' area where we chatted with some of Joni's people who were very appreciative of all the work Les has done on the website & loved the new look. Then over to meet Joni who was hanging out in a back patio area. She is so stunningly beautiful. Much more beautiful in person than the photos you see of her. Very youthful, animated, and gracious. I think I went into a bit of a time warp & don't quite remember what I said. Julius engaged her in conversations about her cats, etc. She remarked how she'd gotten passionate again about music. That may have been the point that I held up my hand (to high five) & she high fived back. Could have been something else she said but I guess Les will have to remind me cuz I think I was in another world, just entranced with the sound of her voice & her face & the beauty that she exudes so effortlessly. I can't even remember what she wearing! I do recall that I gave her a bag of catalogues from the art museum where I work (hoping she might have some interest in exhibiting there). Les, what an extraordinary gift you gave me to have the opportunity to meet Joni after all these years. I'm never washing my hand again. LOL. Thank you thank you a gazillion times! Jeff & I had a good laugh at the wine being served (being from wine country but no wine snobs are we because we buy it all the time!- Two Buck Chuck from Trader Joes as it is called around here (or Charles Shaw as written on the label). The jmdlrs went on to Kakki's to eat & play. We caught a meal with Jeff's son & girlfriend before driving back to Santa Ynez. Oh, another cool part of the adventure was on the way to LA we took the Laurel Canyon Route from the freeway to the city. Saw some of the famous sites including a stop at the Laurel Canyon Store where I'd never been. Next time we're in the area, I'd like to try their restaurant- it looks pretty good.

Tonight is a really invitation only event. Then, the gallery lady told me that Joni would be signing lots of the catalogs before they are shipped out, and even asked how I'd like mine personalized during the signing. I told Julia that if she were to be able to pull off the signature, there'd me a little something for her this holiday season. Apparently the gallery is going to ask Joni to sign bunches of the cataloges, and they'll run out fast. It cost $175, plus shipping and taxes, but if there's a personalized signature, it'll be priceless. Damm, I shoulda used American Express to charge it then!!! once again, humble and hopeful, Loren......... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2006 17:10:02 -0800 From: "gene" Subject: Re: whooohooo!!!
