From News-Press online site: http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061122/ENT12/611220407 Collins to perform at The Phil Hi Richard, Thanks for posting this. I'm always interested in hearing about Judy Collins. I'm currently reading her book Sanity & Grace: A Journey of Suicide, Survival, and Strength. I feel such a strong bond to her and had read her book Follow Your Heart years ago which helped me be real about my own alcoholism. I saw her outside of Oklahoma City this past September. She sang the song Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me), and it blew me away. She's got so much life and so much love. Her song Singing Lessons moves me big time. She has a nice website: _http://www.judycollins.com_ (http://www.judycollins.com) Love, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 07:30:40 -0600 From: Bennett Brier Subject: ISO Boot for Joni Tribute @ Carnegie Hall 2/1/06 Thanx ahead of time!

It's a bio about Gordon Lightfoot, and there are several Joni mentions, as well as a beautiful black and white photographic image of Chuck and Joni in their apartment in Detroit. What a wonderful source of information. Suffice to say that Gordon Lightfoot's life was entwined with Joni's during the early days of folk music in Toronto, Ontario as well. What to do about that photo, because I am sure that others on the list would love to see it. And for the book guy, Smurph...you may want this in your little database.

(& Nephew!) ) Hello all....unknown Jonilisteners, Jonilurkers and the ones I know! I just came back from watching the film on Leonard Cohen, it was very enjoyable. Has anyone seen it...? It opened with Nick Cave, who is even more my darling after I saw him in concert in Germany last week. That is weird, because my friend and I weren't actually totally swept away with that concert. We were somewhat awe-struck, but... A year ago, I went with the same friend to a concert in Cologne, with a Danish band called Nephew. The venue was small, Nephew totally unknown in Germany, and we got in for free. But we had a PARTY! The room was teaming, and we danced and sang along, and leaving the venue we were shouting and dancing and totally ecstatic, and my friend had never heard them before but he loved them. We went to his local pub afterwards, and I think my mantra for the night, which I shouted every five minutes, was "We should have invited them for a beer!" Walking away from Nick Cave, who performed in a proper concert hall, almost sold out, and at really expensive prices, I knew one of us would say, actually, Nephew was more fun. And I knew I'd agree and disagree at the same time. He has a kind of grandeur which is impressive and touching at the same time and which also shines through in the Cohen film. The film has some great acts in it, Rufus Wainwright and Antony impressed me a lot, and some older Canadian female singers I'd never heard of before. It was great because whenever they show anything about music on TV it's mostly for the glamour, and it's attention-seeking posers with botoxed lips and sleak clothes and hair that makes them tilt their heads in funny angles. This film is full of humans who are there to make art and first of all rever someone else than themselves. Now that is nice for a change! No Joni references (how dare they!), but Cohen said something that made me think about our discussions about Dylan and Joni. He said when he came to New York as a young man and met the 'market' there, he noticed that the American poets had more grand visions about themselves and the world. Because they were Americans, the somehow expected that they would be able to change the world. The Canadians, he said, were more humble. I don't think this sums up the mystery of why everyone knows Dylan, but not Joni. But then maybe it does, anyway. I think with her, it's because she sings about personal experiences, and people at that time were so much into changing society (damn in what Joni song does the word society occur? I hear it ringing in my ear right now, just ...society!) I almost get the impression that introspection was only acceptable if the point was to break down patriarchal patterns that would make you support the capitalist society. Not that many people would admit that 'all I really want to do right now is find another lover'. But don't we all know the feeling! Maybe I should add that I was born in 1965, so it's not like I never saw a hippie... or a peace-march. That's all for today, except if any of you Cave-men and women came to the end of this email I'd like to ask again if you've seen The Proposition, and how you liked it...? Have a nice evening over there, and for those of you who are on my side of the planet, the Africans and the Europeans, good night!

Catherine, a week or two ago I answered your question about Lesli's language "units" (Buenos dias, Lesli!) and went on to talk about the state of Iraq, after all those people were kidnapped from the Ministry of Education. I added an interview with some young women who were lamenting the bloody war and now they can't even get any education because all of their professors are being kidnapped and killed. No "life is for learning" in Iraq, only hell. "No hope", one woman said. I can't stand to hear about it, helplessly hoping for it to end. _________________________________________________________________ View Athletes Collections with Live Search http://sportmaps.live.com/index.html?source=hmemailtaglinenov06&FORM=MGAC01 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 22:10:01 EST From: Dflahm@aol.com Subject: Re: black friday njc Clyde Haberman, in yesterday's NY Times, wrote a fairly bitter column on this very theme.

It does get cold in the winter and some winters are worse than others. But I do enjoy having the different seasons. My favourite season is fall, but we got sort of ripped off this year, because it was rainy, cloudy and gloomy throughout most of September and October. Now, at last, the sun is back and I'm enjoying it more, even though most of the trees have lost their leaves. Still, walking through crunchy leaves and kicking them around, while eating a crunchy apple, is something I very much enjoy about fall.< _________________________________________________________________ Get free, personalized commercial-free online radio with MSN Radio powered by Pandora http://radio.msn.com/?icid=T002MSN03A07001 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 23:34:22 -0500 From: "Marianne Rizzo" Subject: em and the mirrors, njc em, you are not to look in the mirrors in rooms that have florescent bulbs. ..
