It is vital. I hope to see all of it soon. It is about the press and the bush team and the information that went unchecked that led us into the invasion into Iraq. many testimonials from many reputable people. . . one thing emphasized: "if you say something enough times people are going to believe it." i.e.: Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. Achaeda(sp) and Iraq are in partnership 911 is linked to Iraq. marketing masters sold this war deeply saddened for the lives loss the destruction the homelessness in iraq being a part of an invading country - \ we are first strike the money spent on this war borrow money for this war? it should be deducted from our day to day not put on our national credit card for later paying the piper. let us feel it in our pockets now then it may not be so theoretical by no means theoretical for families and families of victims (in Iraq and in the militaries). one to two million people are displaced in Iraq? would like to know more about this.

I think it's more like 4 or 5 million refugees now that have left their homes for Syria and surrounding countries where they are tolerated at best. Most have entered illegally and are struggling to survive. Before the invasion, these people had a home, electricity, and a relatively normal life in a modern urban society. That you never hear this story is another facet of the news blackout. What really gets me is that, in European news, and the marginalized alternative news in the US, all the scams to sell the war were revealed very quickly, in the first days (if not before) the invasion, yet the Senators like Kennedy didn't seem to catch on for at least a year, and acted like the info was not available. Like the yellow cake uranium forgery that was signed by someone that had been dead for some time. These kinds of frauds could not have been sold to the people without the full cooperation and cheerleading of the major media, and the enabling of the Democrats. What's fascism, again? The merger of the gov't and big business. Yeah, we have that.

Pt.4 : Joni and Sarah Vaughan Do you guys listen to jazz singer Sarah Vaughan? She's my childhood musical hero. I discovered her when i was 10. I still listen to her music. In fact, now I'm listening to my first Sarah CD again for the thousandth times or so. She also sang a few songs that were included on Joni's Both Sides Now : You've Changed and Don't Worry Bout Me, and a few songs that Joni sang on one of Herbie's project: Summertime and The Man I Love. One interesting point : Sarah Vaughan is, like Joni, a heavy smoker. But, unlike Joni, her voice did not suffered voice-changing. So, i guess, the trigger of Joni's voice-changing is not chain-smoking. It must be an effect of polio or muscular degeneration or something. Rian NP. Sarah Vaughan -- You've Changed (i wish i could share this song with u -- but my internet connection kills) PS. I don't endorse chain-smoking. - --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

From Hank To Hendrix / Ambulance Blues / Sad Movies / A Man Needs A Maid / No One Seems To Know / Harvest / Campaigner / After The Gold Rush / Mellow My Mind / Love Art Blues / Love Is A Rose / Old Man // The Loner / Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere / Dirty Old Man / Spirit Road / Bad Fog Of Loneliness / Winterlong / Oh, Lonesome Me / The Believer / No Hidden Path // Cinnamon Girl / Tonight's The Night ***** Mmmmm....merci mille fois, Lesli! I'll be seeing him in less than 48 hours at the Oakdale (now Chevrolet) Theater in CT. It's nice to know what's ahead. The last time I saw Joni was at the Oakdale in 2000. This is hallowed ground. I'll never forget the THRILL when she came out on the stage. I grabbed my companion's arm in a death vise and gasped: "There she is!" (ooby shooby -- goosebumps again!) I think I forgot to breathe! (My companion was my best friend whom I met in 1975 in a college apartment/people's party. She put Blue on the turntable and asked: "Do you like Joni Mitchell?" and we listened to it over a bottle of Beaujolais nouveau and we've been best friends ever since. Her daughter was with us at that concert and after I told her a few Joni stories she said: "Whoa, Mom, Patti is a WAY bigger Joni fan than you are" and Janis said: "She is NOT!", but time and my ever-growing -- thanks to this list -- JMOCD has proven her wrong.) The last time I saw Neil was August 15, 2006 with his three amigos. One of the best shows of my life, and thanks to Angel Ashara who sent me the CDs of that show, I can relive it over and over and over again, my friends! They did most of Living With War (which has inspired me to no end!) and one of the highlights was singing Happy Birthday to David Crosby (it was the day after his 65th). When Graham told us about his b/day and got us all to sing, David gave him the finger! LOL...let those rock and roll choir boys, carry us away! Shine on good humor, shine on goodwill. The last song before the encore (which was Woodstock -- vive la Joan!) was Keep on Rocking in the Free World, and by the end Neil was on his back on the floor (while I was standing on my seat in all the power and the glory) and all his guitar strings were breaking and lashing out at him. There really are no words for that rush. One giant musical orgasm, maybe? Can't wait for the documentary of that Freedom of Speech 06 tour. I never did report in on seeing Crosby & Nash at the Bushnell Theater in October. Sorry! Monika gave such a great report that mine would have just been redundant (it was indeed magical), but here are a few little observations/highlights particular to that night: They were so *together*. Old friends, like book-ends. Graham was bare-footed. He is just the sweetest thing! They both marveled at the venue (recently restored) and Graham said: "This is a place where you can really play *music*." He also said (about David): "Doesn't he look GREAT? He's lost 53 pounds!" He was very proud and pleased and the love between them was tangible/palpable. (ABB TIC: People can you feel it? Love is everywhere!) Their harmonies were heavenly and sublime and exquisite, and after one song (sorry, I can't remember which one, but Graham was on keyboards), Graham looked at David and said: "Wow." Wow is right. On that note, I bid you all a pleasant dreamland, with no flat tires. Love, Patti P. P.S. Paging Kenny B! Paging Kenny B! Please call me at the station. The lines are open. I would love to meet up with you Friday night. Are any other JMDLers going to be there? We'll all go looking for a party! P.S.S. On the night ride home tonight, I saw three white-assed deer. I almost hit them, because I was DUI-JM encore une fois. At first I thought it might just be somebody putting up reindeer, but they were running like, well, white-assed deer.
