I like this one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgEdqlfPZg0 It isn't Joni but a Stevie Nicks parody. I heard this (or something extremely similar to it) on the radio years ago, and have been looking for it for awhile now. There it was above your link. I like Stevie....but this one always made me laugh. Best regards, Gary Bob Muller wrote: >Don't worry, this will never make a Covers Volume.

Yes, she's working on the morbid Christmas CD after this. LOL. No, it's a 10 song cycle on Hitler's religious views. The working title is "Adolf: The Fuhrer, Son, and Holy Ghost." No, there's been no word on the disc after "Shine", but the crops rotated, the bravado is back, and she's thinking. She's thinking. Jim L.

Dear Ones: It's very late when I walk in....I was just about to share something about the great Joni book I received today (you are right, Jerry...it's one of the better ones!) and then the latest digest popped up. I just read (skimmed) it and it made me sad. There seems to be some bad vibes/misunderstandings going around. Maybe it's paranoia, maybe it's sensitivity, but it's touching my soul in a bad way. And then I got an email ten minutes ago from someone in Europe who wants to unsubscribe, and s/he asked me how to do it. C'mon people, smile on your Joni brothers and sisters, everybody get together, try to love one another right now. We're going have to have ourselves a peace talk, in some neutral cafe. Starbucks, anyone? Or Jack's place? Hi Jack! Please don't flame me. I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. I swear to Joni! Okay, let's get down to Joni, the reason I turned my computer back on so late. Probably most of you already know about this, but it's new to me, and probably will be to Monika, and you know there may be more... It's delightful! In the introduction to "The Joni Mitchell Companion: Four Decades of Commentary", edited by Stacey Luftig, I read: (and I'm typing this out in a labour of love, with tired eyes, so please forgive all typos, which I hate, as does Monika....speaking of which, I am mortified at my "deja vous" comment today which should have been"deja vu"....merde! lol...) "My gratitude also goes to two creators of wonderful Web sites: to Wally Breese, for the multifaceted Joni Mitchell Homepage at http://www.jonimitchell.com; and to Les Irvin, for cheerfully, speedily, and tirelessly helping me track down all sorts of Joni-related facts and for his library-of-a-site at http://www.jmdl.com. Thanks also to the jmdl discussion group for their open-hearted support (hey! that's us!) ; and particular thanks to John Melchert of the jmdl discussion group, for his feedback and editorial support and for his listening." Three cheers for Les and the JMDL! Nice, isn't it? Don't you love it when you pick up a book and there's a personal connection or a mention of a place you have been...like Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast" that mentions Place Contrescarpe in Paris (where I spent my first night as a free woman in Paris) , or Wally Lamb talking about South Campus at UConn, or..... Good night! With lots of love and peaceful vibes to all, Patti P. NP outside my window: crickets, and tree frogs _________________________________________________________________ Learn.Laugh.Share.

Dear Gordon, Thank you for picking up on that, but in truth the presumed Catholic imagery did come strictly from the lyrics, not from any import of theology in my life. I'm as agnostic as one can be, having dropped out of the Mormon or LDS (I'm a native of Salt Lake City, Utah) Church at the tender age of 15 years. I don't attribute Catholicism to Ms. Mitchell either, but I do think there are sins of commission in that regard in her divine lyrics. The "devil and the deeds", "be[ing] prepared to bleed", and "in my blood you're my holy wine" are entirely suggestive of religious/ Christian imagery and lore. It is a stretch to invoke the Saintly Mother, but the phrase "She had a mouth like yours" does say female relative. The meeting of this female relative always had a hint of the mysterious, as it is not like meeting the parents at a bar-be-que of hog but and beer. A mother who raised such a first tier cad as the subject of the of the song would have to possess saint-like qualities to survive such a whelping. As such, a saint-like mysterious mother is not wholly out of context. But I pick nits. "I met a woman, She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said, Color go to him, stay with him if you can, Oh but be prepared to bleed, Oh, but you are in my blood you're my holy wine." Gordon, thank you, I truly appreciate the dialog That is what I love about this benighted and holy sanctuary of Jonism, our spirited teacher and muse of the broken-hearted. Bonneville Bruce Due to the forest fires exploding around the State of Idaho and the larger region of the Intermountain West, there is a red alert in the air quality index. This means stay indoors and do next to nothing, and try not to breath too much. It does make for very spectacular sun/ moon sets and rises. The sun/moon runs red as blood and all that dragon-flying-over-the-sun mythology is easily understood in scenes like we have been experiencing for the last few weeks. This July in Idaho we experienced the all-time record for highest average temperature (High + low/2 averaged for 31 days) of 84 deg. F. It is so hot, our tame ducks were last seen walking north for the duration. NPIMH: Rocky Raccoon "His name was McBruce, He called himself Donald, But everyone knew him as Bonnie." or some such drivel P.S. This just points up the casual genius of the young Mr. McCartney, to be able to write these seemingly throw-away lines, but they persist and are unassailable, as is his near over-the-top sincerity in the delivery. "Her name was McGill, She called herself Lill, But everyone knew her as Nancy." > Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 08:36:51 +0100 > From: "Gordon MacKie" > Subject: Wholy holy? > > Holy wine Batman.

If you want me I'll be in the bar. On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue tv screen light, I drew a map of Canada, Oh, Canada, And your face sketched on it twice. Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine Oh, and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you I could drink a case of you, darling And I would still be on my feet Oh, I'd still be on my feet. Oh, I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints. I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid. I remember that time that you told me, you said, Love is touching souls, Surely you touched mine Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. Oh you are in my blood like holy wine, And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you, I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet, And still be on my feet. I met a woman, She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said, Color go to him, stay with him if you can, Oh but be prepared to bleed, Oh, but you are in my blood you're my holy wine Oh, and you taste so bitter, bitter, and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you darling, Still I'd be on my feet, I'd still be on my feet. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2007 #301 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
