Three out of the 4 of us going tonight have read Michelle Mercer's book, and seen the Tavis Smiley interview, but I digress.... We're so looking forward to this show. Come join us!

Very touching. "To see, who in the world you might be." Love,Laura ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:52:32 -0400 From: Gerald Notaro Subject: Canadian Health Care Ad Scare - njc From one of my other lists which Health Care is being discussed. According to CBC1 news the morning, the woman in the anti single payer health care commercial was lying. While she did go to the Mayo clinic for treatment, the "life threatening" growth was benign, and no threat to her life. Millions are being spent to frighten Americans. from J.

It's one of those songs she co-wrote with Klein, and their incompatible styles are in full conflict; Klein's short phrases compared to Joni's pattern of longer lyrical lines. A melody (more just a series of sound effects) that's pretty much non-existent, and the over-glossed production that ruins most of CMIARS. Not to mention the fact that I don't need a couple of very wealthy people to tell me that conspicuous consumption is bad. Nothing about this song works for me, and it's not even the worst thing on CMIARS. She put it on Misses, and she was right as it missed by a mile.

He plays MGM Grand at Foxwoods Oct. 28; ticket prices are the same, with a $75 option on the low end." Just for the heck of it, I went to TicketMonster and asked for the best available seats at MGM. Tix went on sale the 27th, and I came up w/$125, row NN par terre (about 2/3 of the way up from the stage). No thanks. But evidently people are buying the expensive ones. I would pay $350 to see Joni, though! ; ) Kenny B, here are some other shows coming to your daughter's area in your price range. Todd Rundgren is $125, and there are a lot more way under that. http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/hc-soundnew0730.artjul30,0,1084198.column (I actually read this in the Hartford Courant but couldn't find the on-line article, so I had to please come to Chicago to get it.)

Nothing new, but I consider it my JMDL civic duty, for all completists, to share it. "Acoustic cross-pollination with country and blues has been his calling card for nearly 50 years, and renditions of tunes by artists such as Joni Mitchell and James Taylor gave them career boosts while cementing Rush's reputation as a first-class interpreter. "I'm very content with that label," he says, "because for a while there, it was sort of de rigueur to write all your own material, and I never bought into that notion. I think a good song deserves to be done a hundred different ways, and I've always been very happy doing other people's material." http://www.courant.com/community/manchester/hc-soundrush.artjul30,0,2006789.s tory **** "A good song deserves to be done a hundred different ways"? (HI BM! Congrats on your Springsteen tix!) xo, pp, remembering Jody's frantic text message last year to me and SoB: "I'mm at TomRUsh concert...what should i ask him about JONI?"

I know you are a true Canadian at heart and I appreciated so much your bringing to the fold, the real truth behind the bullshit that commercial put forth about our health care here. It may not be "perfect" but we do give a s*&t about who gets access to health care here. I am more than happy, generally speaking with what we have ...and I believe we are so damned lucky in comparison to developing countries. love, Mags __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I'm helping her with the transition and she came here from the University of Regina, Saskatchewan. We spent some time discussing this topic as she is an American. It was illuminating getting her unique perspective of the two health care systems.
