Admittedly, Im reading the Joni chapters first. My fanship never really followed Carly or Carole. With the exception of Tapestry. I know that others have read the book, and have commented here. If you would indulge my curiosity as to what you think about the book, I would appreciate it. A note in the back pages discloses that, initially, Joni did not want to be written about in a book with two other women.

I do intend to go back this summer and read it in its entirety. I thought it was great and offered lots of fresh insights into Joni's biography. Even though Joni herself did not participate, Sheila Weller did an extensive amount of research and interviewing and I felt like the level of detail she offers is very credible. The simple truth is that each of has pockets of our history that we wouldn't necessarily share freely with an interviewer, but a third party close to us would in contrast offer up some of that kind of information. If you talk to Chuck Mitchell, you get a very different side of the Chuck-Joni story that she offers. Is his story more accurate? Is hers? Is it somewhere in between? Does it even matter? Anyway, read on and of course feel free to share YOUR thoughts.

Today, on a whim, I thought I'd check out TicketBastard for tickets to the "sold out" Leonard Cohen concert, I've been checking eBay every day on a saved search just in case something affordable became irresistible. Lo and behold tickets front row center were available!! The unfortunate part of that is that each ticket is $250 with all service charges etc. it was hard to justify the expense. I thought I'd go back and check the next price level $165 per ticket and came up with center section "C" Row 5 dead center so I bought them. Who knows if I'll get another opportunity to see such a legend live! I am so excited, I can't sit still. And for those of you in areas he's going to be playing... check again, something might be available. April 23rd... Hurry up and get here!

I'm not a Cohen fan but I can appreciate the fact that many people are, and of course I'm always delighted when one of the good guys (or ladies) gets a deserved favorable break. And even though I didn't comment on it, I read and enjoyed John Mellencamp's piece on the HuffPost via the link you shared. Very insightful from someone who knows the facts firsthand.

B I had really followed their last couple of albums but I was really impressed by their performance today. B The new songs sound really good and have some really cool chord changes and nice moods/textures...the artwork is pretty cool as well. B They had a really good time, talking about how much fun it is to play in their hometown, and park in the same parking lot that they did when they were teenagers. B I didn't stick around for album signing as there was a pretty good sized crowd but I'm glad I got to catch what was a debut of sorts.

Vince ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:35:53 -0700 From: "Randy Remote" Subject: Misc music news njc Woodstock, an obscure music festival named after Joni Mitchell's hit song, will turn 40 this year. Original organizer Michael Lang is trying to put together a free, "green" 40th anniversary fest in NY with some of the original performers, as well as Dave Matthews and others. Meanwhile, on June 9, a 4 hour director's cut of the movie will come out from Warners with new footage of The Dead, Creedence, and others. VH-1 will also have a documentary, "Woodstock: 40 Years Later" in August, and Rhino will issue Woodstock albums. Michael Jackson is adding shows to his summer run at London's O2 Arena due to high demand. Even while his Neverland ranch is being sold by his creditors, Jackson has 27 shows (so far) scheduled between July and Sept. Tickets run about $70-$100. The Allman Brothers have a tradition of doing a run of shows at New York's Beacon Theatre, but last Thursday was especially memorable because Eric Clapton joined the band for an hour of intense jamming, crossing axes with mega-guitarists Butch Trucks and Warren Haynes. Still more unheard Hendrix-his estate will release an unnamed title on their "bootleg" label, Dagger, and later this fall, a DVD/CD release of a film surrounding his appearance at Albert Hall in 1969, with performance and behind the scenes footage. Also being prepared for release are unheard shows from Jimi's last band, Band of Gypsys. Janie Hendrix: "[We have] 10 more years of Hendrix music in the vaults". Elvis Costello will drop his new acoustic album, Sugarcane, on June 2, accompanied by accordian, fiddle, mandolin, stand-up bass, and dobro legend Jerry Douglas. The only electric instrument is some guitar work by the album's producer, T Bone Burnett. Emmylou Harris sings on one song. (Harris will also be headlining the Kate Wolf Memorial Folk Festival in Laytonville, CA, in late June). http://www.cumuluspresents.com/ The Beatles' music still hasn't shown up on itunes, and now, Dhani Harrison, song of George, says the band may instead have it's own website dedicated to selling Beatles downloads. Also look for Rock Band: The Beatles by the end of the year (that's video gaming for you old folks), reported to include some unreleased material. And this is only volume 1, which ends with 1972: Neil Young's massive Archives project is slated to come out June 2. It will be available as hi-rez Blu-ray for $300, or 10 DVD's for $200, and, later, $99 for the CD set. Considering the shape of most old rocker's ears, one wonders if Neil can hear the difference. Meanwhile, his new album Fork In The Road is coming out April 7, and is a collection of songs about his project to convert an old behemoth Lincoln cruiser into a 100 mpg hybrid car. One rock star accomplishes what all of Detroit could not (would not!). I've heard the extended rocker Johnny Magic, and it's pretty killer. He has 5 videos and lyrics to the album at http://www.neilyoung.com/forkintheroad/forkintheroadpage.html Neil will join Bruce Springsteen, The Pretenders, Fleet Foxes, Ben Harper, and Dave Matthews to play London's 2 day Hard Rock Calling concert at Hyde Park, June 27 & 28. Green Day will play the MTV Asia Music Awards show in Japan, as they prepare for release of their "punk opera" concept album "21st Century Breakdown", coming out in May. Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens will play a slew of dates in May in New York and L.A., his first appearances in the US in 33 years. His new one is due May 5, called Roadsinger. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 01:28:57 -0400 From: David Eoll Subject: Re: Let's play Randomiser! njc I knew I had a lot of Baez on there, but damn.
