It is really funny! Today, I truly needed a laugh. Joe Cocker was one of my first rock-n-roll loves and his work was one of the first rock-n-roll albums I asked my Mom to buy for me. His style, along with Leon Russell's formed a special style of music I went after in this certain genre of music and which I sincerely got into, which led to the local music styles I followed here in South Texas which extended out into a certain folk style of all sorts. That's why I love music and like Gustav Mahler, found the healing aspects of music in my life. I do remember having a really difficult time deciphering the lyrics of much of the music I enjoyed of the late 1960's and early 70's and then there was Joni and she captured me totally with her clarity and made me feel as if I were looking into my own reflection and still does and nothing can compare. On another related similar theme, I want to express that it makes me very happy that the message of Fangafrika is loud and clear and very, very fair. I'm amazed with the whole aspect of African Rap and the power of the spoken word of the suffering and oppressed. Long Live Fangafrika and may it heal with love and truth and memory the children and future generations of the whole continent of Africa. Truly, Jeannie And may all the sick powers of all the fake, greedy powers that may be in this world disintegrate and flow into and with the musical notes of composers like Gustav Mahler and Joni and Pete and Bob and Joan and Joe and John and Bruce and you and me. Just thinking of BushCo. and the damage done to the lives and economy of this country and the innocent civilians of Iraq and the whole wide world makes me sick and I feel they are equal in their crimes as are the worst war criminals in all of history, really, and it happened right in front of our very own eyes. ~Misery, now you tell me~ These greedy criminals are not even capable of enjoying a Joni Mitchell song or capturing the beauty of a plant, much less the three simple chords and the truth of Pete Seeger's and Ry Cooder's.

I wonder if the writer listened to For The Roses or THoSL when she wrote the article. Rian NP.
