A friendly reminder that JT will be on our TV screens again tomorrow: FRI, DECEMBER 1 - TODAY SHOW - NBC - 7-10AM (ET) Ha! Another late-to-work day! Have you all been talking about last night's PBS special today? I don't know, because I'm on digest. I could write all night about it, but I don't have the time right now. Suffice it to say that my tear ducts got totally emptied. The Dixie Chicks totally rocked, and Carole King, and his brother, and the kids, and Sting, and you know..... Yet, to look at both sides now, why weren't Ben and Sally there? And I wonder what Joni and Carly thought of it all. Hmmmm.... N'importe quoi. I recently wrote about the last time I saw him (in August), and forgot to share another memory of that concert with you all, so here goes. Maybe you will laugh? That's my intent: I was sitting to the right of the stage, in the second level, so I was above the stage, with a bird's eye view. Now, I don't mean to be negative or unkind, and I don't ever like to comment on anyone's physical aging or anything cuz that's just not nice, but I couldn't help hearing Joni in my head (comme d'habitude....LOL!) singing: "Watching your hairline recede, my vain darling." No offense, JT! With affection and respect, a lot of passion, Patti P. _________________________________________________________________ All-in-one security and maintenance for your PC.

Every election time, my enemy is YOU and all other gays and lesbians. That's what the Bushies tell me. If you think eliminating the right of habeas corpus is just for other people, those bad people out there somewhere, well, at some point Bush or other Repubs who want to get elected or maintain power just may decide that you are one of those bad people. Good luck when that happens. No one will even know where you are. Bush and Cheney took oaths to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and they have not done that. At some point they will have to face the consequences. I'm not sure when or how, whether indictment or impeachment or an enraged father who's son was killed or horribly injured for no good honest reason. They won't escape responsibility forever. As my Grandma used to say, "what comes 'round goes 'round." > How pitiful! (Just more happy bullshit for the > left feedings) People on the left are the ones helping you out.

And, yes, I do. In parts I cried like I cried the morning my Dad woke me up for school and told me Bobby Kennedy had been shot. Is he okay? No, I think he's died, out in California. Oh, NOOOOO! I knew the world had changed in a horrible way. It is wonderful to see him again, the compassion, the passion, the hope for a better future for ALL of us. He is one reason I'm such a dedicated Democrat, and very proud of it! The movie also shows some of the horribly ugly parts of this country's history. It's so painful to watch. We can't forget those.

To me, especially because of the way it was done and intiated in the first place, this war will never benefit America in any way, shape or form. No way, no how in my opinion. It's a very sad state of affairs. I just wanted to show some love to the people who had to go over. I have a lot of family members in the military and though the president is their commander-in-chief, they have their own opinions about this war. They just have to keep those opinions to themselves. Maybe they did make a deal with the devil when they enlisted but my heart still goes out to them.

If I was having a conversation with you guys....face to face...it would have not come across that way. Words on paper can become misconstrued from there real intent. What I meant was.. this former prosecutor knows how..obviously..how to put down on paper a concise...outlined nicely.. indictment. But when it comes down to it...I think her case would fall flat. Why? IF Bush or any other Commander in Chief feels that the national security of the United States is in jeopardy ..in peril ...then he must act. To not act...wouldn't he be negligent in his duty? I feel this is Bush's trump card. He felt the very security of the United States was in grave peril. In his head he really believes that. For this prosecutor or any other to try to prove otherwise...given the number one job of the president is to preserve and defend this Republic...would surely fall flat. So that is why I feel her "indictment" is a waste of time. Didn't Hillary..Kerry.. and many other Democrats think going into Iraq was wise and prudent?

My daughter, India, is 4 1/2 years old, and she's brought Christmas back to me. I've always enjoyed it, but it's a really sweet time now that I have a child. * One of the album's best tracks is "Christmas Time Is Here," which you perform with Diana Krall. I love her. She's a sweet human being but just a monster piano player. After we did that track, I cried, because I thought I sucked compared to her. * Is it nerve-racking, covering the classics? I had to sing "Blue" in front of Joni Mitchell at a concert in her honor. That was nerve-racking. She came up to me afterward and gave me a big hug. Frankly, I thought she was going to smack me. What's a McLachlan-family Christmas tradition? * We go to the beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island and surf in our wet suits. Last year, it was snowing. Then we have a lobster dinner. *Does India surf? I got her out there [last year]. I was behind her, pushing. We did it once, and I asked if she wanted to go again. The answer was a quick "No, Mommy, I'm done." *** LOL...a Joni-Sarah smack down??? But then seriously, it sounds like she has heart and humor and humility. The interview with picture of Sarah is at http://www.life.com/Life/article/0,26385,1560399,00.html Did any of you catch her singing River at Rockerfeller Plaza the other night? She nailed it (IMO). And so did JT this morning...more on that later. Isn't it wonderful to see River now becoming a Christmas classic?

Not to resurrect this old dead horse (or donkey, as the case may be), but wasn't it exactly that sort of abject hatred for Clinton that eventually got us into the embarrassing Lewinski mess? (As it were ... gulp ... although I guess it was the lack thereof. ) Didn't that hatred get in the way of logical thinking? Or did it make a whole lot of sense to spend millions (billions?) of dollars investigating and reporting and impeaching? What was the point of that, anyway? (And did we ever define the word "is"?) What is the "reality" to which you refer, Bree? That Bush The Decider thought our national security was in peril, and to fix that we should invade Iraq without a plan and instigate what has devolved into a horrible civil war? Yes, our national security was in peril. It was in peril partly because all almost all of our fighter aircraft were oddly and coincidentally out of the country on 9/11/2001. How and why did that happen? There are so many questions that remain about 9/11, and that most of our aircraft were "assigned elsewhere" that day is just one of them. But back to the Iraq war ... I keep asking if anyone here feels safer today than they did prior to 9/11, or even prior to the beginning of the war, and I don't think I've read a post from anyone that claims they feel safer. Do you feel safer? I do not. More of the Earth's people hate us now than ever, and more wish to do us harm. You can continue fighting in Iraq forever, but that's not going to stop anyone from planning and executing the next 9/11. The waste of lives in Iraq -- military, but mostly civilian, and so many of them children -- has been for NOTHING. There's more hatred, abject or otherwise, than ever ... and shit, gas isn't even any cheaper. (Did everyone notice how gas prices climbed right back up immediately after the election? But no, the "lower" prices had nothing to do with politics, no sirree. Wait ... did someone say something about reality?) I'm rambling, yes, but I'm pissed. I really wish people would stop grasping at these straws of defense for Bush and the current administration. They have quite simply fucked things up on such a phenomenal scale that even people from their own party were disgusted enough to vote out Republican senators and representatives on November 7 (how was that for a happy birthday, Joni?). I guess what I really want to know is this: what is the "logical thinking" that Bush has done? Most of the rest of the western world wanted us to continue to sift through Iraq to find the WMD that were supposed to be there, but Bush ignored that ... logic. What logic has he adhered to? I know I sound like I'm full of abject hatred for him, but I don't hate Bush. I will admit to being embarrassed by him -- Iike most Americans, I would enjoy having a president who brings respect to the office, but this guy ... well, he just doesn't. When the world isn't shaking its collective head in fear and wonder, it's laughing at us. Seriously, Bree, what logical thinking has Bush demonstrated?

NPIMH: "What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man." Here's a message I received today: "Dear Friend, AIDS is a story often told by numbers. 40 million infected with HIV. 5 million just last year. 12 million orphans in Africa. 8,000 deaths and 6,000 new infections every single day. In some places, 90% of those with HIV do not know they have it. And we just learned that AIDS is set to become the 3rd leading cause of death worldwide in the coming years. These numbers are staggering and they help us understand the magnitude of this pandemic. But when repeated by themselves, statistics can also numb - they can hide the individual stories and tragedies and hopes of those who live the daily drama of this disease. We must realize that the AIDS victim in Africa presents us with the same challenge as the gang member in South Central, or the Katrina victim in New Orleans, or the uninsured mother in North Dakota. With an estimated 1.1 million HIV- positive individuals living in the U.S., and approximately 40,000 new infections occurring every year, the U.S., like other nations around the world is deeply affected by HIV/AIDS. Women of color account for 80 percent of all women estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS. We can turn away from these Americans, and blame their problems on themselves, and embrace a politics that's punitive and petty, divisive and small. Or we can embrace another tradition of politics - a tradition that has stretched from the days of our founding to the glory of the civil rights movement, a tradition based on the simple idea that we have a stake in one another - and that what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart, and that if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and act on it, then we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaningful done for the people with whom we share this Earth. On this World AIDS Day, please consider supporting one of these organizations or a local group and join the fight against AIDS. The Global Fund http://jointheglobalfund.org/ The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation http://www.pedaids.org/ YouthAIDS http://YouthAIDS.org/ Sincerely, U.S. Senator Barack Obama" Love, Patti P., sending up prayers for every one affected by this pandemic, thinking especially of Walt in SF (xoxo, Walt!) P.S. Barack is going to be on Leno tonight, and Sarah McLachlan is going to be on Conan O'Brien. _________________________________________________________________ Talk now to your Hotmail contacts with Windows Live Messenger. http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwme0020000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://get.live.com/messenger/overview ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2006 21:00:56 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: more James Taylor njc unfortunately We just watched it for the second time tonight (recorded it). What a great concert. Some of the choices were brilliant (Keith Urban for one). An all star cast that started out with a bang & just kept improving. I wish his older kids could have been there & performing. Also wondered why he didn't mention his sis. I love these tributes because they just underline in bold 22 point font how great the songs are. >Have you all been talking about last night's PBS special today? I don't know, because I'm on digest. I could write all night about it, but I don't have the time right now. Suffice it to say that my tear ducts got totally emptied. The Dixie Chicks totally rocked, and Carole King, and his brother, and the kids, and Sting, and you know..... Yet, to look at both sides now, why weren't Ben and Sally there? And I wonder what Joni and Carly thought of it all. Hmmmm....< ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2006 05:10:55 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: njc, James Taylor on the Today show this morning As promised, for those who missed it, here is my subjective report on JT's appearance on the Today show this morning. First song: Jingle Bells. I'm no Muller, but to me it was a very unique jazzy and bluesy rendition. He had his usual awesome back-up singers with him (whom I have seen with him the past three years), and they were all in the groove. "Sweet, sweet music." Later he was interviewed by Matt Lauer and Al Roker, and this is what I recall: "Why did you do a Christmas album now?" (Paraphrasing) JT said it's always been in his mind, but "the time was never really right" and "the record companies love them" (stoking the star-maker machinery?). They said that he's a legend and that he's been performing for 35 years or so, and JT said: "That sounds about right." (deflecting age jokes) (LOL.... 35 years....does that span 4 decades or 5?) They mentioned his "longevity and success", and JT attributed all that to "good luck, working with great people, and a wonderful audience over the years". Then Al Roker asked: "So James, the really big question is: Why did Joni Mitchell not sing at your tribute the other night?" Matt Lauer added: "Yeah, Stringbean! What's up with THAT? I hear the whole world, especially the jmdl, is wondering why Joni did not come." JT, hanging his head, replied: "I know. I've gone and lost the best baby I ever had." ONLY KIDDING, Joniamigos! Later I saw him "on the plaza", signing autographs and getting his picture taken with lucky people. He then went on to do one of the best River covers I've ever heard, although Musik Meister Muller may disagree. As I said this morning, it made this baby cry. However, as a Joni lyric meister, I did note some lyrical changes, to wit: "I lost the *only* best baby...." and "made me weak in *my* knees..." and "teach my feet to fly "away"...." Can't fool me, but n'importe quoi. It was a beautiful rendition, very slow and soulful and tender. And to segue un peu, my friend Suki dropped by my office today. She's the grad student who got married to Joni's "Love" walking down the aisle, who dared to approach her at the Hammerstein Theater to tell her about that (when Joni said something like "that's a rough road to travel", and hugged Suki for good luck, and inspired her to finish her ballet). So I told Suki about the JT appearance this morning, as I pulled the little postcard from my purse to get the words right. Suki said: "You actually took NOTES?" (Smurf: the postcard was the new Eight to the Bar schedule...that's what I had on hand this morning.) I said: "Well, of *course*!" Suki: "That is too f#$king cute!" Me: "Well, this is very serious business, all this music stuff. Gotta get it right for my Joni people!" Shooby doo bop. Flip city. Pleasant dreamland, Joniamigos! Love, Patti P. P.S. Joseph, I hope you got my message this morning and did not miss your happy hour! _________________________________________________________________ MSN Shopping has everything on your holiday list.
