Lets use Iraq as an overseas way of Hanging people we dont like. Heaven help our soldiers in the next major war because none of our soldiers are coverd by the Geneva Convention now !!!!!!!!!!!. You see this is the Idea of the UNITED NATIONS you try to talk to countries and persuade them to see logic in not torturing Prisoners, giving them rights, well this has gone now. Thanks to this administration no non western nation is going to give a second thought to torture now, "the USA does it so shall we!!!!" And i still cant see the logic of " 9/11 so we go and kill saddam"???? why wasnt Pinochet brought to justice, for all the people he killed And some people say "who the hell is the Pope !!! in telling us it was wrong the way that Saddam was killled" How is it that the so called Christian people in the USA feel justified in putting the Pope down, People want it both ways " hang em high on saturday then go to church on sunday The Bible isnt a piece of cheese you know it has words inside it, read the "sermon on the mount" Its my opinion, this is what is happening still, People say "We voted for G W Bush and we are going to support him till the end, in two years time, what happens after he leaves Office is not G W Bush's fault" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears to be a first edition, from Siquomb Publishing Corp., 1974. I gave it to my wife in 1981. I'm an aspiring guitarist, and knowing that Joni uses many open tunings, they don't seem to appear in this volume. Most of the chords seem to be first position open chords, generally speaking. Are these 30+ songs from "Songs to a Seagull", "Clouds" and "Ladies of the Canyon" all in standard concert tuning on the six string? Would they sound correct with the records as noted? If not, where could I compare these progressions with the open tuning, if any? I was just curious to hear some history and comments, musical or general, about this beautiful book.

What came to my mind was 'don't pull up the weeds because in doing so you will also pull up some of the harvest...' some scripture somewhere. And, like Cindy ended last night on FOX news, "violence begets violence." It's the same story throughout history. Righteousness ending in ethnic cleansing in various forms. So, it is pretty obvious what not to do. What to do is the big question, right, left, right, left, right? I think the answer is in growing up a good harvest that overshadows the weeds so they don't get the sunlight and can't grow. The UN is fertile ground for doing this. The more good that grows, the less violence there will be. Another fertile ground is in people's own homes, neighborhoods, work places, etc. Random acts of kindness, raising up good in various ways. Something about love being the answer rather than the "covenant, sword, and the arm of the Lord" fundamentalist mentality. "Give me love, give me love, give me, peace on earth..."

Even after one of her concerts about 1974, one of the mainstrean top 40's radio station, which never played Joni, said, "you could hear a pin drop throughout the whole concert." Was she the headliner? The problem with the Dylan tour is that Dylan brings in a lot loud jerks. I'm not blaming Bob--anyone that big will do so. Fortunately, in Chicago, I was surrounded by people who were at least respectful, if unenthusiastic. However, I heard from others that some were yelling for her to get off the stage, and she did have to "smackdown" a heckler at one point (albeit more quickly than in Indiana). I hope with "no major labels" comes "no opening slots". (I think that's a pretty good bet.) :) Michael Flaherty Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If anything it proves how wrong it is to think that all the good music came out 30+ years ago. And you have to keep in mind that guitar solos have somewhat gone out of vogue, although John Frusciante turns in a number of killer solos on Stadium Arcadium. Jack White (White Stripes, Raconteurs) is an incredible guitarist but he doesn't really solo, at least not in the "look at me the guitar god" 70's way. I definitely agree with you on the Steely Dan, and what about Duane Allman? Did he even show up on that list?

Along the same lines that I read on those signs...Get US Out... So today... I understand that sentiment. I have had absolutely zero faith in the UN.

Something so good is bound to be prejudiced against... like the US women's movement which has done so much good here and is about 100 years older than the UN.

Remember when the administration raised the alert level and then the press couldn't figure out a logical reason? The executive branch quoted a half-dozen vague, old reports and that was it. The timing was suspicious because it coincided with the opening of the Dem's national convention. 2. On the eve of the 2004 Republican National Convention, they Feds arrested Shahawar Matin Siraj, 24. "Though there was no proof he ever obtained explosives or was linked to any terror organizations, prosecutors said his intentions were ominous: He wanted to blow up the Herald Square subway station, a bustling transportation hub located beneath Macy's flagship department store." Link: http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/01/08/subway.plot.ap/index.html 3. Tony Blair was the president's biggest booster. Do you remember when the Brits suddenly closed in on a terrorist plot in which there was no immediate danger, only days before the Pres needed to rally us around? (I think it was the non-presidential election in which the Dems got control of both houses.) This morning a bunch of birds dropped dead in pre-dawn Austin, when prehistoric garbage trucks had the city to themselves. In NYC, a harmless gas was released all over town, and no one can explain it. It's as if it was a co-ordinated attack and the only intent was to cause alarm. 4 Is it a coincidence that the President is going to announce an unpopular plan to send more troops to Iraq in 2 days? This is straight out of the same play book they've been using for years. For what it's worth, I support the troop buildup; we can't leave them a mess like this... but I truly hate the way the executive branch is managing the news. President Jefferson is spinning; G. Gordon Liddy is grinning. My two cents, Jim L. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2007 22:16:11 -0500 From: Victor Johnson Subject: Chomp(njc) CHOMP CHOMP!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2007 15:43:18 +1100 From: Mark-Leon Thorne Subject: Son of a Pop Idol It seems the only music acts from Australia that make it overseas are the mindless pop variety like, the Bee Gees. I got to thinking about all those Gibb brothers from Wollongong and was wondering what all their kids were doing these days. It seems most of them are in music to varying degrees of success. I came across this little blurb about Spencer Gibb (Maurice's son, I believe). Here is a short excerpt: "Spencer`s vocals do not sound especially like his uncles and dad and the music isn`t especially Bee Gees either. They call their style: alternative/pop/rock/psychedelic and they were influenced by people like Stevie Wonder, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd and Prince." At least the kids have good taste.

Not sure if anyone has reported this yet, but I got a mailing from Lev Moross Gallery today anouncing the closing of Joni's show. The contents read as follows: Dear Friends, I would be very please if you could join me at the Lev Moross Gallery on Thursday, January 18 from 7 - 10 pm for our private closing reception of my new artwork. Hope to see you there! Joni Mitchell I'm assuming everyone who bought something (I purchased one of the catalogues) will receive an invitation like this. Hmmm - I wonder if I could swing a trip out to LA next week?
