They couldn't be bothered. Sad, but true. And not at all a criticism of you, Monika, but of most American voters. They vote by how they feel, rather than on learned facts. Hi Jerry, I agree facts are what is most important in deciding who to vote for. I was wooed by Bush's rhetoric the first time he ran. But I was severely let down by him which is why I am skeptical of Obama now. I was more impressed with Obama before his speeches because I am turned off now by emotional speeches after being burned by the Bush. The economy is a big thing on my mind as well as national security. If we don't have a president who can be successful in healing the economy and promoting national security cautiously to prevent further problems from developing, we are up shit creek without a paddle. All the other things either candidate has to offer will be insignificant without a healthy economy and a safe country. I'm not sold on Obama at this point obviously since I was for Clinton. I'm not sold on McCain either since I have spent my time exploring the Democrats up to this point. So, I've got a lot of research into what good McCain has to offer before deciding who I'll vote for. I do know McCain is a Vietnam veteran who survived imprisonment which is impressive to me. I'm not a Democrat nor a Republican and have voted either party at different times. So, it is a candidate choice issue for me rather than just voting a particular party. I'm tired of Republicans because of Bush, but I am very skeptical of Obama.

Joni Dream We are watching American Idol at her house and Jerry is making crepes in the kitchen while Joni sings along with a contestant's version of My Funny Valentine. Joni gives the finger to Simon just as Patti descends from the second level, and asks Joni to change the channel on the tv. Joni says in canadian, you cann, which makes Patti jump for joy saying "Joni loves UCONN, Joni Loves UCONN!" while she flips on the NCAAs. Joni pulls a Peter Townsend and smashes a guitar, screaming changes the channel back to American Idol, and shouts, "I don't love UCONN, I am a Michigan fan." Bob comes out from under the covers and says "Tarheels." Joni stomps her foot and says "Michigan! Michigan." Jerry comes in from the kitchen with blueberry crepes Joni requested and says, My diva, you will crush sensitive Jimmy, the Florida fan" and tosses the crepes on the table. And Jerry says, "why blueberry anyway." Patti is petting Joni's dog saying, "why aren't you a husky, my dear" and dialing the emergency number in Storrs for a breed transplant. Joni whirls about the middle of the table and says, "the crepes are blueberry because I love blue. Don't you get it? The Blue album? Michigan! Go Blue!" and Joni picks up a new guitar and sings Hail! to the Victors Valiant!" with tunings never heard before. Jerry says, "but why Michigan" while he repositions his chef's hat at the chic rakish angle to get the attention of the pool boy angel. Joni says, "I got my start there! Michigan!" and she starts to sing, "I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, looking for the key to set me free, what will it be? Oh the Wolverines, Ann Arbor is the gathering, the gathering and it creates all the joy that could be..." Jimmy arrives riding on the shoulders of Katherine Harris, and says, "but not my Gators? My Gators are in the NCAAs and your Wolverines are only in the NIT." Joni regally puffs on her cigarette and exhales Marlene Dietrich style and says, slowly, emphatically, "Number 1 seed in the NIT, and get that bitch out of my house." Suddenly Lori Fye vaults into the middle of the room on her Harley. Patti says, "Lori, I love the leather." Bob asks, "can I try it on?" and as he does, he starts singing Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time...". Simon leaps out of the tv, grabs Bob, and says, "Paula is hot for you, she wants you to cover Pat Benetar's 'Hit me with your best shot' while you wear that leather." Bob jumps for joy and into the tv and was last seen promising to devote his life to Paula Abdul covers if only Ryan Seacrist will give Bob hair styling tips. Joni looks at the mess in the hose and asks Lori to fly her to Detroit on the magic Harley. "Why Detroit" everyone asks and Joni does a long inhale, a long exhale, and says. "gotta get to my trouble man, my homey, my boy." Every draws back; has she forgotten Marvin Gaye is long dead? But Em comes out of the kitchen in a tuxedo and starts passing out engraved cards to each of us that read: Bruce and Bonnie Mathers and Myrtle Mitchell invite you to the upcoming recording session between Joni Mitchell and Eminem Together at last. Yes, the lady is going home to her home boy. Joni laughs and says, "I haven't been painting all this time, I've been working on my beats, you thought Wild Dogs was a crazy album, that Mingus explored new territory, well, I am taking music in a new direction. And she began to rap 8 Mile: Sometimes I just feel like, quittin I still might Why do I put up this fight, why do I still write Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin with real life Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics And show these people what my level of skill's like But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life Somethin ain't right, hit the brake lights Case of the stage fright, drawin a blank like Da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault Great then I falls, my insides crawl and I clam up (wham) I just slam shut Every one was stunned. Eminem's lyrics were Joni's real feelings! A soul mate connection had been made over at iSongs! Joni continued rapping Man fuck this shit yo, I'm goin the fuck home World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Road Em smiled and whispered in my ear that it was Joni who taught him it was ok to say "fuck" on a record but Joni gave us the evil shut up and listen look and on she went... Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land Time for me to just take matters into my own hands Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back (8 Mile Road) And I'm gone, I know right where I'm goin Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone ain't gon' follow the footsteps I'm making my own Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road Now Patti was rocking out, having forgotten all about basketball, as she started laying down some beats at the studio we were suddenly magically in. She is now DJ P Conn, and Dre is signing her to a contract and giving her Ne-Yo's private cell number so she can arrange a collaboration between Ne-Yo and Joni (Patti already lined up a Joni-Ludicris duet, and one with Kanye West as well), Em's daughter sits on my lap and we sing Mockingbird together and she tells Jerry that he made the best blueberry crepes ever. Paz walks in, with Smurf, and Lil John offers them each a Vernor's Ginger Ale. They smile. Pure contentment. Jerry wanders up and down the hall looking for Mary J. Blige but she won't talk to Jerry because he left her off the diva list he made. Suddenly Em sees my Sox tattoos and says, "what's that" and I point at his Tigers tat and say "hey, what's that" and we laugh and embrace as brothers, no, more than brothers because Em hires to be chaplain on the next Anger Management Tour! I jumped for joy and that's when I hit my head on the ceiling and woke up.

JT just sang the Star Spangled Banner in Boston to open the series between the Celtics and the Lakers. Wowie zowie! What a delight when something like that appears on your TV screen. You can't pass his good music on by. He brought good luck to the Red Sox in 2004, and last year, too. (Hi Anne!) Go Celtics! (No offense, Westcoasters. All in good fun.)

I love it! Growing up in Iowa, there was something comforting about the sound of crickets chirping at night (as long as it wasn't coming from under the bed, in the closet or anywhere else in the room.) You don't hear it in this part of the world. Also no fireflies here (lightning bugs, we called them as kids) and hardly ever any thunderstorms. What we do get are nothing like the dramatic approach of inky black clouds on the horizon lit up by occasional flashes of lightning, the sudden drop in the hot summer temperatures and a deceptive calm before the wind picks up, a few huge raindrops plummet to earth and then all hell breaks loose like you get in Iowa. The air was always so much cooler, fresher and clearer afterward. I do miss those thunderstorms. But I must say, I was fortunate enough in the 24 years I lived in Iowa to never experience a tornado. My heart goes out to the people who have suffered from the tragic aftermath of some of the more recent ones.

But all of this talk about the weather is getting under my skin. I know the midwest has had worse but the weather here has been absolutely WRETCHED for the better part of this so-called, p---poor-excuse-for-a-spring. Week after week the forecasts have been pretty much the same. High temps in the low 60s (Farenheit, for those non-Americans) IF we're lucky and overcast skies. I almost wrote rain, rain and more rain but that has not been entirely true up until the last week or so. I stayed home from work on Tuesday and it poured most of the day. And the 5 day forecast on local tv stations have little raindrops on almost every day. When I was in Iowa in April it SNOWED. And apparently the farmers there have had trouble getting the corn planted because of cold, wet weather. And to top it all off, Costco gas finally broke the $4.00 a gallon mark. Living is going to get more and more expensive, I fear. Enough ranting from me.

I miss you very much. I'm recording now but am working a full time very busy job to pay for the time. Someone approached me out of the blue on my My Space site and asked me if they could interview me for their online Boomer Women's magazine called Vibrant Nation. This was a week and a half ago. She did a phone interview with me Tuesday night but before hand asked me if I could come up with a list of musicians I've been inspired by. Well that was a no brainer for me! When we talked about all time favorite, I told her "Joni Mitchell hands down!!!" Notice that she is at the top of the list!!! I told the lady, "Joni's at the top of the list!" She wanted me to think about what my favorite album of hers was and get back with her in a day or so. I said, "No need for that! I can tell you right now! Shadows and Light!" I told her about the musicians Joni had on the stage with her and she was awestruck. There is so much more that we talked about that bandwidth did not allow for but I really sold her on Joni! Hope you can peek at this. I'm very humbled and proud that she sought me out! http://www.vibrantnation.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Features.Top10&FeatureInfoI D=76 On a PS, I have been listening to a CD of Joni's favorite songs and artists which include Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, Marvin Gaye, Louis Jordan, and my favorite too, The New Young Radicals. I really LOVE their song too! Has anyone else heard this CD? Miss you much!!!

Do you live in the SF Bay Area? This was about 20 years ago, and I was in Berkeley seeing the Grateful Dead at the Freak Theater (aka Greek Theater) at UC. Or maybe I was seeing the Jerry Garcia Band? One or the other, I've seen both there. Anyway there was some guy on Telegraph who was having a very heated argument with nobody. Whoever this invisible antagonist was, (s)he was really getting under this guy's skin. And wouldn't ya know, turns out the guy was Nick Nolte! Shoulda got his autograph. Sillyness aside, this was probably one of the poor souls who was set loose on the streets when the mental hospitals lost funding under Ronald Raygun. The luckier ones ended up in group homes (I worked in one for 5 years), the rest are pushing shopping carts around yelling at invisible people. I loved SF, I loved the "feel" of the city. It had a soul that I liked. But sadly I've only been back once since that time period. A couple years ago I was in Santa Clara on business and I bopped up to the city to see an old friend of mine from back East who now (or at the time) lives in the Haight. But, unfortunately, that's it. I'd love to live there, but I don't have $1M.
