Why ever would you think that? Well, lest I leave you with a portrait of a disappointment, voila: http://mccain.bravenewfilms.org/blog/34701-why-won-t-mccain-support-our-vets It's a video that came out today, about McCain who "supports the troops", but won't sign the new GI Bill. And then another good one: http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/27350-john-mccain-is-dr-strangelove McCain loves war. That's what his story is for. His singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran" sent me into orbit. (TIC! We're only particles of change, I know, I know, orbiting around the sun...) And back to the girl who was attacked by the hawk at Fenway, someone asked: "Was she wearing a Yankee's shirt?" Peace, Patti P. P.S.

Tee hee. I take it as an article of faith that they are listening. They vacuum up everything. Anyone that assumes anything they do on the internet is confidential is naive. So boys, ya find bin Laden yet? No? Too busy cracking down on the Quakers and Greenpeace? Oh, well, keep up the good work. Y'all are doing a tremendous job keeping us all safe from those evil hippies and eco-terrorists.

I think Sonya being so off threw Joni off, too. Seemed to me that Joni was trying to follow/help her along and and trying to save it but it just continued to fumble. I think they doctored the video a bit after the fact because it was more fumbly live. In the past I've heard Sonya billed as the "next Joni Mitchell" and just couldn't get it. Still don't. However, she was hanging out near me in the back with the Joni friends and Herbie family during the taping and she seemed like a very sweet, genuine person. Maybe that is what they like about her. Maybe they need to get her a better set of those earplug feedback monitors, too? ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:42:37 -0400 From: David Eoll Subject: Re: The Way It Is > From: "Owen Duff" > Subject: First time I've ever heard this... > > There's a rare Joni song called "The Way it is" just appeared on youtube, it's a bit lovely: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qC7Ls6ixJQ > > Owen > > www.myspace.com/owenduff Wow! 'A bit' lovely? That's an understatement. I've been haunted by this song for the past 2 days. Thanks for sharing. I watched it about 20 times and its been PIMH ever since. Sounds like something circa STAS, which haunts me all the time as it is. I've never even heard of this song. There always been something that I've felt about great artists, that they're tapping into something much greater than themselves. I can't help but feel that, watching Joni sing this song. I was spellbound.

Yeah, I was just being cute. But, they are Seriously Good Brownies. Try 'em. I was wondering. We all know that Estrella was a real person who was instrumental in Joni being discovered by David Crosby. Anyone have any idea who the real Annie and Trina are?

(It's time for the JMDL fact-checkers to issue their corrections.) Jim No corrections issued, Jim. It still goes down historically as the first recorded sound. The Frenchman who made the (first) optical recording went to his grave saying that Edison had stolen his idea. Edison, of course, had the stroke of genius to etch his sounds in a wax cylinder rather than smoked paper, then reverse the process. The very low fi sound, the first recording of a human voice in history, all 8 seconds of it, can be heard here. http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/1860-Scott-Au-Clair-de-la-Lune.mp3 It's thought to be the inventor's daughter. The line from Au Claire de Lune translates as-"I could drink a case of you".... [no, kidding... but happened to see a snippet of the movie Practical Magic today where Nicole Kidman is driving along singing along to that Joni song.] The real translation is "By the light of the moon, Pierrot replied" http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/ More news articles: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/arts/27soun.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin http://tinyurl.com/33qrlf (uk guardian) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2008 23:52:51 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re; Joni's suicide attempt Anita, you are not alone in thinking this... she went in dead (depressed), & left grinning... he helped her but at the time she did not understand... kate Joni >?And I went out into the street - I'd come in completely dead pan, my face immobile even when I talked - and I just felt this grin breaking over my face at the irony of it all.
