(http://xoetc.antville.org) So thoughtful of you. I'm sure Joni will give it a place of honour in her home in LA or Sechelt. I wonder if that is the Broadway Bridge? Michael in Quebec Kate Johnson wrote: Just called the hotel and yes, she picked up the plate a couple weeks ago. I am glad it didn't disappear into the ethers like that mask a few years ago. If anyone is interested in seeing what the plate looks like, email me offlist. I don't know how Our Joan responded to the actual item when she received it, but can tell you that she was interested enough to respond with a resounding "yes please" via her manager's office when I offered it to her. I was not expecting a thank you note or anything, but feel quite certain Joni tried to call and simply could never get through, as I am always working online via dialup and the phone's busy. Heh, right. Kate http://xoetc.antville.org actually, i'll put a photo of the plate on my site gimme a few minutes _________________________________________________________________ Have Some Fun Out Of The Sun This March Break http://local.live.com/?mkt=en-ca/?v=2&cid=A6D6BDB4586E357F!142 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 22:47:04 -0400 (EDT) From: Andeemac2006 Subject: What a great week I am shining A very short glimse but the track Shine sounds wonderfull cant wait for next week, and I have just downloaded the Massey hall neil young concert and its from 1971 ??? just shows you what treasures are lurking out there on PCM or Tape, the track listing is near perfect for me at least, What an artist Neil Young is playing solo, this album is a revalation to me And as somebody said the quality is breathtaking especially from back in 1971 !!!!!!!!! But why oh why has it taken this long to be released I dont understand why prolific Artists ponder and become resitant to release to many CD's or Albums If the paying public want to buy and the Record company and the artist gain monetry advantage then where is the problem. But I am only to gratfull it has been released so far March is a very good month for me. Im shining LOL ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 19:54:07 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: RL NJC I first listened to Rush when a friend told me her husband liked to listen to this new (at least to me, maybe to many) talk show personality- early 80's maybe? He wasn't considered political at that time (to my knowledge) & I had absolutely no preconceived notion of him or what he believed prior to listening- just that he was supposedly new & interesting. When I listened, I found him to be bellicose, self inflated & misogynist. I've tried several times, over the years, to help me better understand where another family member might be coming from (who is another loyal listener) but I just can't stomach him. Ironically my friend's husband (mentioned above) died of Parkinsons. My mom died of ALS- a similar disease. I've known many others with these horrible diseases. RL's insulting imitation of that actor (forgetting his name at the (senior) moment who has Parkinsons was as low as it gets. Sub human really. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 20:00:10 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: the worst real album covers of all time (no fake ones) NJC Check out the Orleans cover with John Hall, now a NY congressman. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 23:19:13 -0400 From: Victor Johnson Subject: Re: RL NJC On Mar 21, 2007, at 10:54 PM, Kate Bennett wrote: > I first listened to Rush when a friend told me her husband liked to > listen > to this new (at least to me, maybe to many) talk show personality- > early > 80's maybe? I first listened to Rush because my friend had a copy of "A Farewell to Kings" - -just kidding!- I can't stomach him either. I find his voice itself to be annoying. Michael Savage is another nationally syndicated talk show host who fits your description and is even worse, if that's at all possible. > Ironically my friend's husband (mentioned above) died of > Parkinsons.

Yes, you're absolutely right, Bob. The purpose for each is very different. There are so many right-wing entertainers they have a huge influence. People could probably listen 24 hours a day to someone spewing right-wing misinformation on radio or tv. If that's all people listen to, it becomes news, not just entertainment, and that makes it poisonous. Left-wingers have Air America, which not everyone can get, and Michael Moore, who's not around when he's working on a movie. There's not much of a market among liberals for talk radio. You've given a good objective description of moveon.org. It's one of the things the right-wing loves to hate (along with Michael Moore), even without directly knowing anything about it. I've heard Repub senators and congressman instantly dismiss anything moveon.org does (such as deliver hundreds of thousands of messages on particular issues). I get the impression that to right-wingers moveon.org is a scary marxist group. If senators talk negatively about it, I expect RL and others like him would use it as a code word for something VERY BAD (so be afraid). Anyway, Bree's mention of Air America and left-wing links to the list led me to think of moveon.org since most left-wing links to the list are emails that originated there. So I'm the one (I think) who first mentioned moveon.org specifically. Occasionally I visit right-wing websites and their approach is similar to RL's. Comparing moveon.org to a right-wing political website would have been a more accurate comparison of right-wing versus left-wing communication styles, but not one I'm interested in doing. > In an age when less than half the voting population > don't do even that, > it's nice to be able to feel that sense of > involvement. Yes, it is. The organizers and writers of moveon.org are brilliant in the way they've used the internet. For some people feeling that sense of involvement leads to more intense in-person involvement and that's a good thing. The more people speaking up the better.

They are in alignment with those views of the world...no problem for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff? Loosen up...

It also seems to me that those who believe in a life after this one are the ones who cling the most tenaciously to the one they are certain of." My father suffered so much the last two years of his life but he would always fight back and recover. I really learned something about the life force - it is amazingly strong. There were many times when he would be hospitalized and the nurses would ask me on the sly if I wanted to stop all treatment. I was really horrified by what I saw as a sort of "under the table" kind of deal. As if I could make ever make that decision! He was still conscious and not on any kind of life support. To me, it was always his choice when he wanted to go. I also consulted with professionals near the end and they all related the same thing - no matter what condition loved ones were in, they had this surprisingly strong life force but they would make their own decision when to let go. I had to euthanize my cat a few years before my father died and it was terrible. Even though logically, I think I made the right decision, I still struggle with it.
