Such an interesting mind you have Monika. This has no Joni content because Joni is not someone I would like to have dinner with. I wouldn't even want to know her personally. There are very few people whom I admire that I would like to know. Her talent and her ideas are unsurpassed but, I feel her personality leaves something to be desired. So, who then? You might be an interesting dinner guest, Monika. I'm sure you would keep the conversations going. 1. My mother (which means I could bring her back to life). 2. The Dalai Lama might be a hoot. 3. Brad Pitt for some eye candy. 4. Jamie Oliver could cook. 5. Cate Blanchett might be interesting to chat to. Wow, this is looking quite boring. What does it say about my personality?

I don't know what station I was watching it on, but I heard every word. Was more than one network recording this, since I doubt one of our Canadian stations would have been doing their own recording - they just pick it up from whichever US network is broadcasting. So, now I'm confused - how did that happen? Who does the bleeping? And I agree - there's a big difference between playing a part and public speaking.

The first time I heard that stark piano and Joni's voice I was hooked. (I never really liked the CSNY version, so maybe that made me like this version even more.) In fact, it was from there I started listening to Joni more seriosly, albeit ultimately with a preference for post-LotC albums of the 70s.

He saved many people who now have a chance at a free life, but it humbled him at how bravely they would fight, without training and will useless weapons, those who would take their freedom and their families lives. He told us that he was particularly proud to defend the right of free speech for people like you - who sit in a safe place and complain about how everybody else is wrong and only you have the insight on Truth.

I think it's usually the editor, not the writer, that chooses the headline, and s/he chose one that was bound to grab some attention - as indeed it did. If it's true there's no such thing as bad publicity, then this headline could be picked up elsewhere and generate lots of heat for Joni, and maybe some sales, or as someone (Muller?) suggested, a good-old fashioned record burning! There are some Catholics who view anything that questions the Catholic church as a personal attack. I suppose you could say the same about any religious group as well. I remember these people (shudder) from my Catholic schooldays. Fortunately they are in a minority, but they are a very vocal minority - the type that want to bring back the Latin Mass and the Spanish Inquisition. - - I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition! - - NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

(1) * Grandma Joni dedicated this one to Marlon and Daisy. * It's easier to follow her piano through "One Week Last Summer" on the big stereo than on the computer speakers. I love the oboe counterpoint; knowing that she played it on a synth doesn't detract at all. Although I like DED now, I'll "take" these layers over the ones on DED, big time. * The night I met my second girfriend she was playing piano in a Christmas service. Maybe I was hard-wired for chicks who play music. (Or is Joni an archetype who represents Susan?) Anyway, it's just great to hear Joni playing piano again. I mean, it's really great. This is like the best drink of water after the longest drought (2). (Joni, I've I've never met you, but I'm very proud of you. Congratulations and thanks!) The gift goes on, eh? Back to the living room, Jim L'Hommedieu (1) The independent "record store" in town had it on display today. As the clerk rang it up (along with the new Rascal Flatts, to be released tomorrow too), he said, "We're not supposed to sell this today. So don't tell anyone where you bought it." heh heh It was almost like buying an ounce, all those years ago.

Even though I have an advance copy I still had to have the real thing purchased from a store and I talked some cute little thing at Starbucks into selling me on the day before she was suppose to. She said, "I guess I can just say oops I didn't know!" God Bless her. It sounded so good riding home in the rain listening to new Joni. I sincerely hope she does well with this one and it leads to a tour and I hope she falls in love again so we can get some new material that is not quite as ominous. She is right on target and when she got to the line about "them crazy crows always making a commotion" in the song "This Place", I thought to myself, YES SHE IS!!! The craziest crow of all!

Good news indeed. Now is anyone going to the Shine listening at Starbucks tomorrow? After getting my Neil Young tickets at the presale tomorrow morning, I'm off to purchase the album and then off to Starbucks to listen to Shine for the first time with a book in my hands (and I'll try their iced tea that I hear is magical). I wonder if anyone else at the store will be there particularly for the Shine listening. I guess we'll see! What a day we've got coming! Who would have thought we'd have a new Joni album?
