LOL!! Had some personal experience long ago with a couple of doctors who would usually dismiss symptoms as "all in your head" - not only with me but other patients I knew who went to them. Two of my friends ended up almost dying because of this (mis)diagnosis and I was subsequently diagnosed by other doctors with serious conditions (from which I completely recovered after proper treatment). Have not had this problem with doctors in the past 10 years. Think it's because I always mentioned working for a law firm. Heh heh! They always promptly order whatever tests are necessary to determine what is causing the symptoms and don't stop until they find the root of the problem. I do know that there are some odd or difficult to resolve real conditions that can be brought on by psychological and/or physical distress. Once the sources of the distress are determined and abated, the condition/illness often goes away. That doesn't mean it was in someone's head, rather, that highly stressful experiences can result in real, chronic illnesses, common or uncommon.

I just booked my flight to LA. http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=440 Joni's Jazz Celebration Draws Major Stars And Mitchell Too July 2, 1999 Joni Mitchell made an unscheduled guest appearance at an all-star concert honoring her 1970s "jazz period" in New York's Central Park on Thursday (July 1). She took the stage with Chaka Khan, Duncan Sheik, Joe Jackson, Eric Andersen, Jane Siberry, Toshi Reagon, PM Dawn, Ravi Coltrane, and many others for the closing number, "Help Me." Producer Danny Kapilian described the event, Joni's Jazz, as "not a tribute concert in any real way. This is a celebration of a very specific period of music in Joni Mitchell's career." Presented as a part of Central Park's SummerStage outdoor concert series, it was threatened by the hissing of Central Park lawns -- a steady rain that ceased just minutes before the concert's start. Backed by a group that included noted jazz and rock artists Vernon Reid, Don Byron, Graham Haynes, and Minu Cinelu, the concert drew material from Mitchell's 1974-79 albums Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, and Mingus. Mitchell, a Canadian, was the ideal honoree for a concert on July 1, which is also Canada Day. Before an audience waving small Canadian flags, Consul General of Canada Michael Phillips thanked New York City Parks Commissioner Henry Stern for "for not paving paradise and putting up a parking lot" -- to the general groans of the audience. The evening's biggest cheers went up for the performances of sturdy-voiced women Khan, Reagon, Erin Hamilton, and Joy Askew, the latter of whom performed a show-stopping duet with Jackson of "Down to You." (With a slyly-inserted segment from Mitchell's "Case of You," from her jazz-period live set Miles of Aisles.) Anderson, perhaps Mitchell's only contemporary on the bill, offered an idiosyncratic reading of "Just Like This Train," and PM Dawn, after their clever reggae version of "Free Man in Paris," created a rap set to a sample from Mingus. "The Same Situation" became a Coltrane instrumental, and "Raised on Robbery" morphed into a bouncy ska number sung by Sheryl Marshall. The second half of the show was an in-sequence performance of the Hejira album, highlighted by funky versions of "Black Crow" and "Hejira" (by Reagon and Khan, respectively), as well as "Furry Sings the Blues" by Andersen, with Byron's bass clarinet accompaniment. The evening's only non-Mitchell song was the encore of the Lambert, Hendricks & Ross tune "Twisted," covered by Mitchell on Court and Spark. Original LH&R members Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross performed the song, which seemed to induce more audience members to sing along than any of Mitchell's tunes. Mitchell was coaxed onstage for the closing number "Help Me." Cigarette in hand, she said, "I'm really speechless. I can't begin to describe the way I feel... I'll remember this all my life -- all my long life." With the stage crowded by all participating artists, Mitchell seemed reluctant to take the lead vocal away from Chaka Khan, who prompted her with, "Joni, sing. Sing, girl." Finally, Mitchell offered a few choruses of ethereal, wordless vocal lines to a swaying crowd that could not have adored her more. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 May 2011 12:03:08 -0600 From: Walt Breen Subject: RE: Joni married again??!!

Director Werner Herzog was granted special permission to film inside of the Chauvet Cave in southern France where the oldest known cave paintings were discovered in 1994. These charcoal paintings created by Cro-Magnon artists may be as old as 32,000 years. Because of the ecological fragility of the cave's environment, no-one but archeological scientists are allowed inside. Herzog was allowed a very limited time to take a small crew, using lights that emit no heat, inside the cave. He resisted shooting in 3D at first, but when you see the film in 3D, you understand why he made the ultimate choice to use that format. The artists used the contours of the cave to give a sense of depth and movement to their drawings of horses, rhinos, lions and various other animals. I found some of the pictures, especially the horses, to be quite extraordinary and hardly what I would have thought of as 'primitive'. The natural features of the cave itself are also fascinating and beautiful. Two dimensional images could not have had the impact that the 3D, imperfect as it may be, gives to this experience. Herzog and crew were restricted to staying on a 2 foot wide walk-way so as not to disturb the floor of the cave which is strewn with bones and tracks of bear paw prints as well as human foot prints.

If you're interested in reading more about this movie, here is a link to a Werner Herzog website that has two reviews and more information about the film: http://tinyurl.com/3h5o37b Again, if this movie plays in its 3D format somewhere near where you live, see it. It feels like being given a rare privilege.

Director Werner Herzog was granted special permission to film inside of the Chauvet Cave in southern France where the oldest known cave paintings were discovered in 1994. These charcoal paintings created by Cro-Magnon artists may be as old as 32,000 years. Because of the ecological fragility of the cave's environment, no-one but archeological scientists are allowed inside. Herzog was allowed a very limited time to take a small crew, using lights that emit no heat, inside the cave. He resisted shooting in 3D at first, but when you see the film in 3D, you understand why he made the ultimate choice to use that format. The artists used the contours of the cave to give a sense of depth and movement to their drawings of horses, rhinos, lions and various other animals.
