It wasn't even the WTRF album, just that cover. Joni in interview found it hilarious, and thought it was a pity he couldn't instead be listening to 'Land of snap decisions, land of short attention spans, nothing is savoured long enough to really understand...etc' (or maybe it was 'Where the wealth's displayed thieves and sycophants parade...' but the middle eight section from Dog eat Dog anyway).

Claud9 - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 02:40:30 +0000 From: Patti Parlette Subject: sjc, My happiest Joni moment ever Bon soir, Joniami(e)s! Since this is the one year anniversary of my happiest Joni moment ever, I'm finally going to write about it. I think Monika posed this question a few months ago, but I wasn't ready. Apologies if this should be njc; sometimes I just don't know. In the spirit of "love is a story told", here goes. On June 30th, 2007, my son got married. If you've never experienced this, let me just say that there is a lot of build-up and preparation and family stuff (sometimes stressful) involved. Plus, this wedding was far away (Kansas City), so there was a little sadness that many of my friends and family were unable to attend. Now, I've shared a few stories about this boy - -- that first-born son, that special one -- who has been a joy and a terrible Joni tease and so much more. He's very independent and rather stubborn. A sweetheart (senior "class cutie"), but cool -- fifty-fifty fire and ice. Gee, it's really hard to put him in just a few sentences. You give so much to your child and, like Leonard Cohen said, you lose a little part of yourself, or rather, you just sacrifice so much so that they will be happy and turn out well. As Sherelle sings: "You are my heart." All those hockey and baseball games, dislocated shoulders, won't eat his vegetables, knee injuries, proms, c! ar wheels through the town (what, me worry?), terrible twos, teen-age insolence (You don't know ANYTHING about life!), etc. Okay, enough of that. If you are a parent, you know what I'm talking about. There is no purer love. Up and down, and still somehow, you really DO know love at all. Anyway, in the months leading up to the wedding I would casually ask: "What song are we going to dance to?" Chris: I don't know Me: How about Circle Game? Wouldn't that be perfect? You know, the lyrics are so.... Chris: MOM! NO JONI AT MY WEDDING! Another time: Me: So what are we going to dance to? Chris: I'm trying to find the theme song from "Throw Mama From The Train". (BRAT!!!) Another time: Me: So what are we going to dance to? Chris, nonchalant: It's NOT that big a deal, Mom. We'll just let the DJ pick something. I shared these conversations with some of his friends at the rehearsal dinner and at the wedding, and no one really had a clue what Chris would do. One of his female friends, Jamie, was *sure* he would have Circle Game, but I really didn't think he would. I was trying to have no expectations and just enjoy his happiness. This was his day, after all. Not mine. (Not mine, these glamour gowns.) The father of the bride went first and, despite his plans with my new daughter-in-law to dance to a different song, he sang a capella (sp?) a song he used to sing to her when she was a baby. It was beautiful and there was not a dry eye among the 250 people there. (I knew about 50 of them.) Then, all in a dream, all in a dream, the DJ said: "And now the groom will dance with his mother." As my little boy, all six foot five of him, stepped down from the head table, I suddenly heard THAT VOICE. "Yesterday, a child came out to wonder..." I think I gasped and said OH MY GOD and my hand flew to my mouth. I froze. I was overcome. Then my brothers and nieces and nephews said: "Get up! Get up there!" Still in a dream, I walk out to meet my son in the middle of the dance floor, and HE is CRYING! And he says: "I love you, Mom." (He said: "I love you, Mom!") Through tears, I said "I love you, too, honey. I can't believe you picked this song! You did it!" and put my arms way up high (he's a foot taller than me) on his shoulders and we went round and round and round in the circle game. At one point in the dizzy dancing way you feel when every fairy tale comes real I saw his friend Jamie and gave her a huge beaming "thumbs-up" (which the photographer caught). Later my younger son said: "Mom! Did you know that you were SINGING the whole song?" (LOL, I wasn't even aware.) A year later I still get goosebumps and tears of joy. It was the ultimate sign of love and respect for him to pick this song. And to have Joni's voice accompanying the happiest four minutes of my life was just....well, I'm sure you understand. And the perfect words....I really felt like we had come full circle. I bore him, and raised him, and now my work is complete. He married a lovely young woman, from a really nice family. Amen. When I floated back to my table, I grabbed my cellphone and told everyone I'd be right back. One nephew said: "Where is Aunt Patti going?" My youngest brother said: "I think she's going to call one of her Joni friends." LOL! Darn right! One of the best writers I know -- someone we all know and love -- posted for me: Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 21:40:42 -0700 (PDT) From: Smurf Subject: "Circle Game" it is . . .

As many of us were betting, it was indeed "Circle Game!" Patti, very stylishly dressed in her 30s evening gown, was promptly reduced to a puddle.

The new additions to the band are incredible and do the legacy well. I was brain dead but even got a tenth wind to continue the party at Paz's hotel suite. Music, music, magic and martinis ensued as some of the band members joined in with us. Too much to tell now but we had an amazing time as always. Wish I could have spent the rest of the weekend following the band and Paz and doing all kinds of fun stuff but it was back to work ;-( Thanks to Mr. Paz as always for an incredible time and the extra surprise of hanging out with Michael's bud and assistant manager Kevin, who I have also considered my bud for a long time.

Perhaps this is rather a curious question to be asking a Joni Mitchell discussion list but do you think Joni is pretentious or merely ambitious? I had to express my views on this recently when someone told me they found her "pretentious." I went on and on about how Joni is ambitious rather than pretentious. In doing so, I had to explain artistic integrity and personal achievement. What do you think? - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 20:26:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Re: Joni in August Acoustic Guitar Thanks for letting us know! I for one will have to make a stop at Borders to check it out....it is like a magnet that pulls me in if something Joni is around.... - -Monika - --- On Wed, 7/2/08, Marian Russell wrote: From: Marian Russell Subject: Joni in August Acoustic Guitar To: joni@smoe.org Date: Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 3:18 AM There's a really good article on alternate tunings in the August Acoustic Guitar magazine in which several of Joni's songs are mentioned (This Flight Tonight, Coyote, Big Yellow Taxi, Morning Morgantown, Chelsea Morning) and that includes a pretty picture of her.

(njc)--not really a spoiler as he changes the setlist every show Just got out of the Jacksonville show not too long ago...Tom Waits was on fire! I always love his solo piano stuff...he played On the Nickel, I Can't Wait to Get Off Work, and Invitation to the Blues. The sound seemed to be better from that point on as well. He has also hilarious as usual. Some guy shouted out "I want to have your baby" and he said "You know, they can actually do that now...talk my manager Stuart Ross after the show. But my sperm has gotten pretty expensive, you know, its a valuable resource" And he said he had ingested some pond water a few months ago and they checked him out and found he had swallowed three toads. He said there's only a problem when he's watching tv as they can be pretty loud." And he said in China they have a plan where every single person there is going to climb up a ladder, jump off, and throw the earth off it's access. He said they're importing ladders to China and then said he was just kidding. The encore was a rather nice "House Where Nobody Lives." I did run into Jody and Scott after the show, talked a bit, and have plans to get an early breakfast in the morning. I'm having quite a blast....never gone on a tour before, it's actually kind of fun. Met some cool people beforehand at a nearby English pub. And Patti, your hug was delivered!

I don't think it's a matter so much of being either "pretentious" or "ambitious", the first word leading to some fairly ambiguous semantics. I find the words pensive, unabashedly honest, and innovative. If I had to choose between pretentious and ambitious, I suppose I would chose ambitious as pretentious is fairly subjective to me, as it is a label that can be applied at will to people or things that are simply too esoteric for others to be willing or to be able to comprehend. - -- - -Mark in Florida On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 11:22 PM, Monika Bogdanowicz wrote: > Perhaps this is rather a curious question to be asking a Joni Mitchell > discussion list but do you think Joni is pretentious or merely ambitious? > I > had to express my views on this recently when someone told me they found > her > "pretentious."
