Baby Blue" from *Bringing It All Back Home* Pretty much all of *Blonde On Blonde*, but especially (predictably?) "Visions of Johanna," "Just Like A Woman," and "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" *Planet Waves*--to me it's all of a piece, a definitive snapshot of Dylan and The Band at that time and place (along with the live *Before the Flood*) *Blood On the Tracks*--again, hard to separate out individual songs from this one, but: "You're A Big Girl Now," and "Shelter From the Storm" "Isis," "Oh, Sister," and "Sara" from *Desire* *Street Legal :* This one is a bit strange for me, in that I retained thoughts of it as being one of my favorite Dylan albums. But when I (finally) started updating his catalog to cds and listened to it again in its entirety for the first time in a couple of decades, I found less to love than I remembered. As it turns out--of course!--the year it was released was, in retrospect, one of the best and happiest of my life. "Is Your Love In Vain," and "Senor . . ." I bought (and still have) the next three "born again" albums but haven't replaced them on cd, so I barely remember them. *Infidels*---not to be missed, if only for "Jokerman" and "Sweetheart Like You" *Empire Burlesque* : Probably underrated. "Emotionally Yours" and the not-to-be-missed "Dark Eyes" I gotta stop there for now---but thank you for igniting my interest in all these recordings again!

Forgive me if I've double posted: Howdy there all you fellow Joniphiles!! Thanks to the ebullient Patti Parlette I was tipped off to the awesome convo about both LOTC and ATU. But first I would like to give you a mini life of Jahida update: 1a. I just got back from a 4 month stint at Florida International University, where I not only found out that I can make it as a jazz vocalist if I wanted to, but I also realized that I liked living in a warm environment (pretty mucht the complete opposite of where I live now huh?) and now plan to move to the Miami area once I am done with my last year of school. Plus, I thankfully kept my grades up and did even better! If I could get any freaking closer to a 4.0 without actually getting a 4.0...grrr.. 1b. Things that happened to me while in Miami: I lost 15 pounds! Got a crazy tan! Met my musical soulmate! Rediscovered my old self that I sort of missed and lost up here in Vermont! Finally recorded a song I wrote 2 years ago! I would really like to re-record it someday, but for a demo, it's not bad. You can hear it here: (yes, it's the requisite Myspace music page http://www.myspace.com/jahidinginvt 2. I have fun job this summer: Wedding singer!! My teacher asked me to sing for his band this summer and as a cheesy, funk and disco-loving chick I jumped at the chance. Here's The Funk Collection: (I am not singing on the webpage.) http://thefunkcollection.com/index.cfm 3. My out-of-print Joni songbook collection is slowly growing: I am still chasing the ever elusive Hejira. I came close a couple times on Ebay, but got outbid by a dollar. Err...still trying though. 4. For those of you still even remotely interested in the review of last spring's Cabaret. Here's the link: http://www.jsc.edu/images/BasementMedicine/BasementMedpdfs0607/BM_Spring07/bm_5-03-07.pdf It begins on page 7. And boy do I have some serious potato face going on in that photo! 5. This next year's (my last college year! Finally!!) musical in the spring will be "Evita." Guess who's been asked (hush hush of course) to play Evita? Holy shit!! That's gonna be some seriously hardcore practice, but I am looking forward to it, I think... And now for the Joni content: It is kind of funny that Patti e-mailed me about the message because just this morning I was lying in bed thinking about how much I wish that Cameron Crowe (one of my fave directors) should make a movie about Joni ala ATU. It would be absolutely awesome if both Julie Taymor and Cameron could direct it together, but I don't know, that might be kind of impossible. Maybe Taymor can at least sign on as art director. She has such an amazing eye and I think the fact that Joni's an artist would make her input extremely valuable. As for the cast, I would be highly insulted if I wasn't cast as Estrella. I mean, hello, I AM Estrella. ;-) On a serious note though, Patti, if you ever do make this movie with the mystery lister, please let me know. I don't live that far (I was actually just visiting my mom in CT for mother's day this weekend) and I would love to help out. As for my thoughts on ATU: LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I would say it's in my top 5 fave films of all time. This happened after watching it for only about 5 minutes. Taymor has said that she could possibly do a sequel. Usually when I hear that I groan, but if done right I think that idea could turn out very well. As she said herself, Taymor only used about 33 Beatles songs. I mean how many are there? Countless and could be used for any situation. The character I most identified with was of course, Sadie. (Are you seeing a pattern here...yea, me too) I thought that every actor in the movie was amazing and had great voices with the weakest link being Lucy. I thought she was alright, but could've been better. I am in love with Jim Sturgess and even went to go see the movie 21 just because he was in it. If he does indeed do that Spiderman on Broadway thing, I will make sure I go see it, come hell or highwater! As for the puppet connection Patti referred to it's Bread and Puppet. B&P is a performance art troupe from Glover, Vermont and the puppets that were in the protest scene (Uncle Sam, etc.,) were all on my campus about 6 months before the movie came out, so imagine my surprise when I was in the audience at the Roxy in Burlington and saw them on the big screen. I looked over at my friend Merrick and she confirmed that they were in fact the B&P puppets (she had seen the movie already). Then I looked up Julie Taymor and found out that she had worked with the B&P theater when she was a college student. Nothing crazy, just pretty cool for this Vermont chick. Well, there you have it. If you've made it this far, congrats. I tend to talk a lot too. Love you guys! I read that this year's Jonifest was canceled...how about doing one this summer? If I found a great space up here in Vermont, how many of you would come? I would try to make it as affordable as possible, and if you've never been in Vermont in the summer then you don't know what you're missing!

Something as good as Across the Universe- I don't recall the conversation here about that movie because I hadn't seen it yet. ***** High five across the purple mountains majesties, Kate and Kakki! Great hearts and minds think alike. I posted about Across the Universe last fall. Here is the Julie Taymor interview by Charlie Rose when you have time on your hands (it's 27 minutes long). http://www.charlierose.com/guests/julie-taymor She was looking for affection and respect, a lot of passion for the Beatles, and I think she found it. When I saw this interview I knew I *had* to see this movie. Ain't no mountain high enough to keep me from gettin' to it, babe. No wind. No rain! I loved it. Most people either love it or hate it. My best friend hated it, and so did another one of our beloved listers. I saw it with a professor of film studies. She thought it was brilliant, although it's not her favorite genre. We exited the theater in totally apture, with all that beautiful music swirling through our souls. It stuck to all our senses. Jahida loved it, too, and had some Julie Taymor puppet connection from her school. Hey Jude Jahida, do you want to be Estrella? You have that exotic je-ne-sais-quoi. I have discussed doing a Joni movie like this with someone off-list. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Ours had a lot more grandeur to it: it was a three-part opus -- the magnum opus Joni tribute! Let the Joni force be with you! I told this person to order two director's chairs. Do you want to step forward, cher Monsieur? Kakki, what you want, baby we got it! Joseph, hurry up and finish that dissertation so you can help us! The possibilities are endless. Just coming up with a title for the trilogy...how would we ever agree on one? And the choice of sub-titles boggles the mind. calendars of our lives, sweet bird you are, LOTC: The Holy Trinaty (no typo), a portrait of today, and you know there may be more. And the staging.... a bridge, a park, a tree, a river, green water in motion, a bowl of oranges too, a Chinese Cafe, Mermaid Tavern, this place, a blue motel room with a blue bedspread......omg.....how do you stop? Do you think Julie could make the sun pour in like butterscotch? Cinematic Joni lovers sway! Imaginez-vous! We could have parts for everyone. Kids with cokes and chocolate bars, the guy at the gas pump, Marcie in a coat of flowers, Coyote, ............ How do you stop? I could help Julie write the words the whole Joni world sings. Sometimes (ha!) I weave Joni's lyrics into my writing (sometimes we do, yes sometimes we do). And just imagine the soundtrack! Paz, RR, can you do it? Babies, can you dig it? Mais merde! I am now late for my day job. Another JRA! I could write about this all day. When I get this crazy feeling I know I'm in trouble again. How am I ever going to know my home (office) when I see it again? I'm like a black crow flying, in a blue blue sky amid the clouds of Mitchellangelo, diving down to pick up on every shiny Joni thing. Help me! I think I'm falling in love with Joni again. Deep breath. On second thought (both sides now), coming off this Joni ice-cream castle in the air, I don't think anyone, no matter how brilliant and talented, could ever do poetic justice to our SIQUOMB. Maybe this will just have to be a dream some of us had.
