I was surprised that I got no feedback about the "complete" Rolling Thunder Revue package." Mark, I for one certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into compiling these packages. Like many others on the list, I tend not to provide feedback on everything I receive. In my case, it's mainly because I like to hear what others who have been into Joni for much longer than I discern from the various performances. So many reviewers on the jmdl provide insights that I would never pick up on my own, so I tend to not offer my own uninformed views unless something really strikes me. The bottom line is, Mark, that your (and others) contributions are very gratefully received and appreciated.

I'm not quite sure what your criteria is for "political" songs, but I can think of a few that are political "IMO" that fit into the "lyrically and musically" good category: Buffy Saint-Marie - Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Shona Laing - Glad I'm Not A Kennedy Shona Laing - Neutral and Nuclear-Free Shona Laing - Soviet Snow Neil Young - Ohio Stephen Stills - Word Game Stephen Stills - For What It's Worth Graham Nash - Immigration Man Graham Nash - Military Madness Graham Nash - Soldiers Of Peace Joni Mitchell - Magdalene Laundries Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi Joni Mitchell - Tax Free Joni Mitchell - Ethiopia Amy Ray - Laramie Melissa Etheridge - Scarecrow And that's just the few I can think of right at this minute.

I'll definately say a prayer Rosalie and think of her tomorrow night (playing piano for four hours at a Christmas party). Below is the song "Rosalie McFall" which is the only way I can think to honor her. Rosalie McFall (trad.) as done by the Grateful Dead Out on the lonely hillside in a cabin low and small Lived the sweetest rose of color my Rosie McFall Her eyes were bright and shining and her voice was sweet to me Knew that I would always love her and I hoped that she loved me My eyes turned to me, my darlin' and this is what she said: You know that I would always love you when you and I are wed. Then God way up in heaven one day for her did call I lost my bride, oh how I loved her, my Rosie McFall I searched this wide world over through cities great and small But I never found another like my Rosie McFall ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:03:51 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Joni's new music b" So I wonder what the green flag song paintings reveal about her latest music... obviously it will be political content but Joni's paintings have always mirrored the musical structure of her songs or vice versa... I am just not able to translate all that but maybe one of you can.< I am not sure that her new music will be at all like her paintings- but thank you david - your post jogged my memory of our discussion at the gallery opening- she said something about music that was conducive to people dancing close together (maybe shebs in love?) & also something about no longer singing her sorrow & painting her joy (wherebs Julius when you need him?? he was the instigator of these conversations) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:15:32 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: Joni's new music Good point, its long been my opinion that the best political songs are told in terms of someone's personal story... that said I've learned a lot from songwriters writing about political situations whether or not they are told in a story form- most notably phil ochs, sting & jackson browne >Well I would call Magdalena Laundries a good political song. It attacks the brutalization of women from one woman's point of view and thereby not only tugs at the heartstrings, and makes one cry, but makes a very potent political point which hopefully will provoke someone to find a solution to the problem.

And they are blamed for a host of other environmental crimes, from acid rain to the introduction of alien species, from producing deserts to creating dead zones in the oceans, from poisoning rivers and drinking water to destroying coral reefs. The 400-page report by the Food and Agricultural Organisation, entitled 'Livestock's Long Shadow,' also surveys the damage done by sheep, chickens, pigs and goats. But in almost every case, the world's 1.5 billion cattle are most to blame. Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming... Fuel to produce fertiliser to grow feed, to produce meat and to transport it - and clearing vegetation for grazing - produces 9 per cent of all emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas. And their wind and manure emit more than one third of emissions of another, methane which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide." http://www.organicconsumers.org/2006/article_3540.cfm ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 23:32:32 -0500 From: "Cassy" Subject: Re: 50 WAYS TO RECYCLE FRUITCAKE NJC From: "Bree Mcdonough" <<< Anybody else? >>> Find the current whereabouts of Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) and send it to him...
