Just a few thoughts. SCOTT - thanks for bringing up Passion Play - I nearly jumped with excitement. I've always loved that song - it's so vivid, and yet so intriguing, leaving lots to our own imagination and reflection. I've never paused to think about the colours, I have to admit, they just work so well visually. But i always just assumed Exxon blue to refer to oil spills, so the war suggestion is interesting. It suggests to me a rather nightmarish vision of ghosts entering on stage. But I love the use of the New Testament characters- Mary Magdalen , and little Zacchaeus (tax-collector, I think?) up in his tree trying to see and be seen by Jesus, and then the crucifixion reference. I've never been able to totally work it out intellectually, but the message I get is of humanity and the planet being in a mess and needing redemption, both individually, and collectively. In a way, the song would totally belong on Shine. Brilliant, elusive lyrics, and those beautiful hypnotic guitar riffs! For a long time I tried to find an explanation from Joni herself about how the song came about, what she was trying to say - but now I think it's best left to us all to respond and find our own meanings. That doesnt answer your question, sorry Scott, but I was just so pleased to see you mentioning the song. A CASE OF YOU. To be honest, I only really got totally hit by that song in its BSN version. I was never a fan of Joni's 'helium' voice (as she calls it now), and her high swoops just put me off the song for years - but the recent version is a stunner. Again, I'm not sure a clear rational, intellectual explanation is the best thing to look for in art - but I just love the depth of the 'case of wine' image- a mixture, I think, of 'I love you so much I could get drunk on you', 'I have what it takes to survive this destructive relationship, to still stand in spite of the intoxication (I will survive)', with the religious connotation of the holy wine of the Mass, the blood of Christ, sacrifice. It's an amazing blend of passion, violence, clear-sightedness. SHINE. I really wish now I hadnt read the lyrics before hearing the music, or the many comments (and reviews) - though it's been fascinating to read all your thoughts since. But it all git in the way of simply responding to the songs. Some of the lyrics that I hated on the page (I mean... 'history, his story' - please!!!) simply, miraculously, work with the music - Strong is Wrong isnt quite my favourite, but it's way better than I expected - sure the lyrics are simplistic, but then the song is built on a cliche (Might is Right) and tackles it with its own weapons - and the piano is irresistible, so that the song comes across as SO reflective, contemplative, rather than sloganising or preachy. I do agree with some posts here that some of the writing is weak, but after many listens I can only really think of two instances: (1) the 'money money money' section of This Place verse 2 - thank God the bear comes in! - but the other two verses are powerful ; and (2) the awful couplet about drivers on cellphones in Shine - flat, boring, without the humour of the preceding 'asshole' couplet, and an awful lead in to the Catholic Church reference. It almost ruins the song for me. But the rest, to me, are Joni in full form - Night of the Iguana - that's as strong a 'character sketch' as she's ever drawn; Hana, love the 'like a champ / light the lamp' parallel. On the page If I Had a Heart didnt impress, but with that melody (especially the minor section), and that voice... how can you resist! It's the sax on Track 1 that really irirtated me initially (couldnt she just let the piano be for a few minutes, without smothering it in wind and brass?), but it's grown on me more and more; the varied B parts (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) are particularly lovely, the good old bear brings a smile, and the corny angelic 'voices' at the end work perfectly, IMHO. Apologies for the overlong post. Thanks to all for the lively discussions!

Maybe the new masterpieces are not so rare, and you are simply unable to recognize them. How do you know they are rare, if you are unable to grasp them as such? If we're generally less able to "grasp" masterpieces now, how do we know there even ARE any new masterpieces? (I'm definately not ruling out that there are, btw.) Something either floats your boat of it doesn't. It can look good on paper and it can smell like a rose to the intellectuals all day and all of the night, but if a work doesn't draw you in and geek you and lay you flat, to the extent that you WANT to play it over and over - then it just doesn't matter if its a masterpiece or not. or? these are things I wonder about too.....

I, too, think it's a song of farewell. But I also think the "case of you" indicates that it is her head and not her heart who says goodbye. If you drink a case of wine, it can have a number of effects. Amongst other things, you would feel dizzy, at least, and maybe you would feel sick, and if you are not strong enough, you might pass out. I think that by saying she could drink a case of "you" she is saying that she is strong enough to take the hurt that parting inflicts on her. Just another interpretation.

Sorry if this question has already been answered but, I lost the use of my computer for several days and am just now catching up on digests. Like much of Joni's wordplays, it is difficult to understand what she is referring to. Even us native English speakers. It is her complex metaphors that keep many people intrigued. A Case of You has been discussed a lot here because it is one of her more complex. Joni is using a case of wine or some other alcoholic beverage as a metaphor for the person who is the subject of the song. If the person is a case of wine, she could drink it all and have no affect. The reason for this is the subject of discussions in the past. I am still not clear on what she is trying to convey. Does this mean that the person no longer has an affect on her? Has the love died? If you drink a case of wine and it has no affect on you, does that mean all potency has gone from it or does it mean that you have built an immunity to it and need something stronger? In the end, the need is the same, I suspect; you must move on. I think A Case of You is a song of farewell. It always struck me as a very sad song. Just one interpretation.

Musically it's nothing to write home about either, with the exception of Night of the Iguana, which has a real spark to it and (as others have noted) a great bass line. I remember being hauled over the coals a few years ago, when Travelogue came out, for having the temerity to post to the list about how much I hated the first disc. My views could be dismissed by this person (can't remember who it was) on the grounds that I hadn't listened to the whole wretched thing. I did manage to get through the second disc, and it sounded no better. Ah well, for some folk, ad hominem sniping helps to avoid the possibility that contrary views are just as valid.

"Thanks for coming to give peace a chance," David Crosby told the crowd of more than 2,500 at Washington National Cathedral, before he and Graham Nash launched into "Lay Me Down." To kick off last night's Pray for Peace concert, John Bryson Chane, Episcopal bishop of Washington and the evening's emcee, quoted Nash: "No person has the right to take another person's life in the name of God." Churches and religions should be instruments of peace, not war, he said. When people gather to pray for peace, "what you are praying for is an end to war," Chane said. He said it was not an antiwar event, but a moment to call on nations to lay down all arms. "War," he said, "is the ultimate declaration of human failure. What we are saying is: Enough is enough." With white hair and dark clothes, and flanked by pulpits, Nash looked a little like a singing televangelist. "I would like to congratulate Bishop John Chane for being brave enough to do this," he told the gathering. It was a little weird, seeing rock musicians stand under the crucifix in a cathedral where magnificent sermons have been delivered and where dead heads of state have been mourned. "This house wasn't built for the blues," Kevin Moore, known as Keb' Mo', said during a sound check. But the church folks did the best they could. The sound was top-notch and the walls behind the musicians were splashed with lava-lamplike lights. The atmosphere was enhanced by red- and yellow-robed Buddhist monks moving about the cathedral. Jackson Browne and Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls also performed on the raised platform in the sanctuary. Tibetan monks chanted, leaders of various faith communities spoke of peace and others prayed publicly and privately. Before the service, Browne said he was singing in opposition to the war in Iraq and the proposed war in Iran. Many people feel the Iraq war "has been a huge mistake," he said. "These are desperate times, calling for desperate answers," Nash said. The first step to peace, he added, is dialogue. "I'm 65 years old. . . . My time is passing." He said his activism now is on behalf of his three children. Music can be a form of prayer and both transcend regions and religions, the performers pointed out. Keb' Mo' exhorted the crowd, in song, to "hand it over" and "get on your knees and pray." There was a guitarist and a hand drummer. Crosby's son, James Raymond, played keyboards. Crosby and Nash sang "Jesus of Rio" and a new Nash song, a musical prayer titled "In Your Name." Then Crosby picked up a guitar and they sang the heavenly "Guinnevere." Rep. John Hall (D-N.Y.), who once belonged to the Top 40 band Orleans, appeared in a dark suit and tie and fit right into the strange melange of politics, pop music and prayer. He led the congregation, with inspired guitar work and vocal help from Nash, in a song: "We are all one tribe." Browne and Nash performed a haunting version of "Crow on the Cradle" and were joined by Crosby for "Lives in the Balance." And many of the night's entertainers gathered for the finale, "Teach Your Children." The story behind the music: The Dalai Lama was speaking at Washington National Cathedral in 2003, when Chane looked down from the dais and recognized Nash and Crosby in the congregation. He invited them to his office after the event. A former professional musician himself, the bishop plays drums in a midlife-crisis band, the Chane Gang. Nash saw Chane's drum set in the office and the two began talking about the power of music. As part of the celebration of the Dalai Lama receiving the Congressional Gold Medal from President Bush today in recognition of his resistance to Chinese rule, Crosby, Chane, Nash and Browne planned the concert for peace. Proceeds will benefit the Cathedral Center for Global Justice and Reconciliation and the International Campaign for Tibet. Before the concert, Crosby was asked why they had chosen to perform in the cathedral instead of a larger venue. "This isn't about being big," he said. "This is about something very unusual -- energizing the churches to stand up for their flocks. We need churches to stand up for us, and say stop the killing." In the grand sanctuary, Crosby appeared small. "I have a lot of trouble with organized religions," he said, but his faith has been renewed by Chane. "He's got real courage, to say war is not the answer. I feel comfortable here," Crosby said. Singing for peace, Moore said, "is what we are supposed to do." Music has power, like religion or speech, he said. "And with that power comes responsibility." Patti Parlette wrote: There are still *more* reasons why I love him!

I have recently (re)discovered the beautiful music of Miss Mitchell. I learned that the song "The Circle Game" is hers. I have heard that song in a movie, being sung by group of children in a school presentation. I believe Ron Silver was one of the actors but I can not find anything on IMDB.com. Would anyone at this site be able to tell me what movies have licensed the song The Circle Game and if I am correct in saying Ron Silver was a part of the movie? There is a movie on IMBD.com listed "The Circle Game (1994)" but this does not appear to be anything like what I saw. I only saw the final scene in the movie in which the children are doing their performance and the older characters seem to be reconciling their issues while in the audience. I do not know what the movie's title or plot is. All I know it I fell in love with the song the children were singing (the circle game) and now that I've heard it again by Miss Mitchell, it has made me want to find the movie. Any help would be wonderful. If you can not be of assistance, I thank you for your time reading this mini novel and wish you a good day.
