It was a really great interview with some excellent musical interludes. Rufus' mother joined them onstage with her banjo to play an old standard folk song and he had two solo stints at the piano which raised the hairs on my neck at one point. I will definitely have to look into his Judy Garland CD.

If there's any input you can provide to rep Barbara Lee, you will need to do this within the next few DAYS. As well, the newsletter below is interesting to read in its own right. A couple of sentences that stood out for me and sounded like something Joni could have said, or would agree with, are: "Its meaning has to do with understanding that the arts are not frivolity, not a means to fame or entertainment, but for deepening the meaning of civilization. The bmusic bizb has distorted our interpretation of culture and this campaign is one effort to correct it." - ----------------------------------------------- NEWSLETTER Vol. 2 Issue 1 January 2009 Dear Friends, We DO have NEWS! Barbara Lee, Congressional Representative from the 9th District, California, has agreed to carry the nomination of Pete Seeger for the Nobel Peace Prize. They want us to supply specific examples of how Pete participated in work for Peace, social justice, and environmental movements. Send any data you have even if it seems small in consideration to what most of us know of Petebs long and committed work. The deadline for the letter of nomination is Feb 1st, so they need data within the next few day, indeed the next few hours. Send to: Pete Seeger Nomination Rep. Barbara Lee (CA-09) 1301 Clay St., Ste. 1000-N Oakland, CA 94612 510-763-0370 ext. 16 510-763-6538 (fax) Wayne dointern23.ca09@mail.house.gov The petition has grown to over 21 thousand signatures. Go to our web site at www.nobelprize4pete.org to see what moving and sincere comments people have made about how Pete opened their consciousness in so many ways. I want to keep this petition open until the end of the year so that the final document will be sent to the Smithsonian Institution, or where ever Petebs archives will eventually be housed, as a document for posterity. That again brings me to emphasis that this campaign is not to make a hero of Pete. It has to do with creativity and community. Its meaning has to do with understanding that the arts are not frivolity, not a means to fame or entertainment, but for deepening the meaning of civilization. The bmusic bizb has distorted our interpretation of culture and this campaign is one effort to correct it! The campaign has spread in exciting ways. Marie Goonan, an activist in Melbourne, Australia, suggested that May 3, 2009, Petebs 90th birthday, be designated as bFor Petebs Sake, Sing!b with concerts coordinated around the world. She is producing a concert in Melbourne, another is being planned in Copenhagen, Denmark, and several are planned in the US of A. Big production is not the issue: just imagine what a thrill it would be to know that thousands of people around the world are coming together on one day to join voices for peace, justice, the environment, and honor to a model of personal integrity. Here are a few things that must be done, they are by no means everything: C Organize a group at your home or local folk club. Let me know where and when and I will have flyers and bumper stickers available for your group. C Money to support the concert series may be available from our fiscal sponsor. Send me a budget of what you think you need for reasonable help. I will see what I can do. We also need contributions of money to help pay for computer workers. Tell people to send whatever they can afford. C Join the song-writing contest. Write a song that in some way relates to the qualities that Pete has helped us realize. By Feb. 14th, loversb day, send me a copy of the lyrics, a melody line, a tape or CD of the song, and $1 bill. The nobelprize4pete committee will select their favorite song, the winner will get all the money collected, and publication of the song for For Petebs Sake, Sing! C Go on Craigbs List and write an announcement about the campaign, the concert series, and the song-writing contest to post in your area. Those postings expire after 7 days so you will have to mark your calendar to renew it as often as you can. C Buy bumper stickers. They are $2 ea. $5 for 3, $30 for 20. You can pay for them via our website through PayPal or by check, payable to bKendra Alexander Foundationb, memo "Nobel Prize for Pete Campaign" to: Kendra Alexander Foundation, 6422 Irwin Ct., Oakland, CA 94609-1123 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:19:00 -0000 From: "Anita Tedder" Subject: Subject: A high profile cover coming up and Jonis' Diva friend njc I can't help wondering what Chaka wants a bottle of apple cider vinegar for.

Dietary aid? And you know, there's at least one website for everything: http://www.apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com/ I find it weird what some stars ask for in these riders and wonder, why the hell wouldn't they just bring their own? I think Jennifer Lopez wants absolutely everything in her hotel room to be white. Someone else wants either jelly beans or jujubes with the black ones taken out - either that, or they only want the black ones. I saw part of a TV show a while back where a hotel in the US was preparing for a visit from the Queen and they had bought brand new linens for the bed, which they handwashed at least three times first. And they were so paranoid about getting it right that the managers washed them, rather than leave it to staff. Oh, to be so rich and famous as to make frivolous demands. I wonder how many of them would even notice if something was missing or not exactly as requested? __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?

As a non-native speaker it becomes maybe a greater challenge (I read it in English) But than towards the end I felt very much rewarded. Like all the hard work was worth it. I've also read some of her essays that are both readworthy and can be just as hitting today as when she wrote them. But I haven't read more of her novels. I think Garrets advice is a good one - to just read and not try to understand everything, which would jsut feel frustrating. Barbara ! Yes, be first in line ! I went to see Cohen this summer in Oslo - and I will never forget it. He is such a warm person. He offers so much love and warmth to his audience - he is not grown bitter, even though this woman took his money. And maybe that is a good thing also. Because I think that was one of the things that got him back on the road again. Cohen is a living legend. I'm ever so grateful I got the chance to see him. His voice is great too (I think better than in years) All the best ! Oddmund ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:57:25 +0000 From: c Karma Subject: Joni's Diva friend LOL.

Jesus. I thought you said Neil Young. I was trying to imagine him singing "Help me" and it was hurting my head. I'm not much of a diva either but I'd like to think up some really bizarre ones just to mess with people's minds. I'd want to put in a "leave-me-the-feck-alone" clause of some kind. My daughter was watching some reality show a few weeks ago. I think it's the one where people are trying to get a job as an interne for some fashion mag like "Elle" or "Vogue". They had to get a hotel room ready for some model I had never heard of and she had some strange demands. I can't remember them all but one of them had to do with rubbing the sinks with lavender or something weird like that. I like lavender too but it would never occur to me to have someone rub a hotel sink with lavender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 12:03:50 -0800 (PST) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Re: Subject: A high profile cover coming up and Jonis' Diva friend njc/now with WHATS ON YOUR RIDER?

Sorry. There are TWO Joni songs on the list. You can choose between "Both Sides Now" and "A case of you." What is a person to do? *** Talk about a headful of quandary! Cuz instead of one song, we've got two! When I first saw the words "Obama's playlist", I started thinking of Joni songs that would inspire him. The first three that came to heart and mind were: Shine, Judgment of the Moon and Stars, and If (even though she didn't write all the words). Whenever I heard and sang If during the past year, I dedicated it to him. And I thought of SP at "If you can bear to hear the words you've spoken, twisted and misconstrued by some smug fool..." "Palling around w/ terrorists" and such. He didn't listen to that jive. He played it cool, played it cool, calling such pronouncements "just silly." Speaking of Obama, I read somewhere that the first country he is going to visit is Oh, Canada! We will be jovial neighbors!

OK, I've come up with my Diva Rider: 1.?? An automatic programmable coffeemaker that is set to brew half an hour before I wake up.? It needs to be in arms reach from the bed and there should be a coffee mug there, too.? I like to have coffee in bed without having to get out of bed to get it. 2.? Ice at bedside-I like two medium sized ice cubes in my coffee. 3.?? 2 down comforters with cotton covers, cotten sheets, down pillows and cotton pillowcases.? I do prefer my sheets to be ironed and lightly starched. (yes, i iron my sheets and pillowcases) 4.? A humidifier in the room if it's wintertime or if the hotel is in an arid area. 5.? a cd player or ipod station in the room. 6.? Champagne, ice cold, ?preferably Duval-Leroy 1996 or Duval Leroy Brut Rose, and chilled champagne flutes. 7.? Distilled water. 8.? Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale in cans, and canada Dry Seltzer water, ice cold.? (I mix them half and half) I think that's it.? I also think I'd be really nice if someone couldn't make any of this happen for me.?Having served my share of?celebrities when I waited tables in San Francisco, I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of horrible, demanding, unreasonable celebrities.

The book is similar in some ways but also a completely different animal in others. It was written partly as a mock-biography of Vita-Sackville West. I also think it was written with a great deal of humor and satire. In some ways, I think Virginia was a bridge between old Victorian values (which she and the Bloomsbury group abhorred) and the modern world that was born after the violence of WWI. I certainly don't pretend to any great understanding of writing of Virginia Woolf. She was a complex human being and she was trying to break new ground in literature at the time she wrote. Another admirer of Woolf's writing told me that a prof she had that taught 'To the Lighthouse' told the class 'she's telling you something, you're getting it, keep reading.' I think that's a good way to read that novel in particular. Woolf's most admired books are often said to be written in the 'stream of consciousness' style. I don't think that term is adequate. I think Woolf was trying to describe and express images, impressions and thoughts that we don't even voice in words inside our own heads. Personally, in her most innovative, groundbreaking books, I think she was trying to describe the inner-voicings of the human soul. A lot of the reason I fell in love with this author's writing is the beautiful structure of her prose. She often approaches the poetic. She attempted to completely change the structure of the modern novel. In 'The Waves', in particular, I think she largely succeeded. Many of her short stories are fascinating, too. In some ways it's almost like working a puzzle to figure out what she might be getting at. Then again, some of her work is so open-ended, you can really read almost anything you want into it. In some ways, she makes me think of some of Rickie Lee Jones's songs where her meaning does not necessarily jump right out at you.
