Would you believe I didn't even know about this? Thank you for letting us know. The prejudice and divisiveness in this country is not new, but I think a number of factors (increased poverty, the militarization of the police, the news media not doing its job of informing, but entertaining instead) are leading to both being more prevalent. Obviously, I'm not black, However, growing up in Dorchester, where the population is predominantly black, gave me a perspective that I suspect is somewhat different from people who grew up in white neighborhoods. The grinding nature of poverty, the hopelessness, the hostile attitudes of cops (all of which I did experience first hand) are difficult to comprehend unless you've been there. I was lucky. I was graced with a brain that was smart enough to let me crawl my way out, as some are graced with athletic, musical, or other talent. Yes, I worked hard. But, frankly, average isn't good enough to work your way out of poverty. And that's something that I think many just don't get. It's easy to take things like connections, support, not being hungry, not being threatened, not being afraid, for granted. So where do we start? Simple. An 8 year old from Dorchester said it best. "No more hurting people." It's that simple. lots of love, Anne On 2014-08-20 22:27, jlhommedieu@insight.rr.com wrote: > This is the Beavercreek, Ohio edition.

B Without analysis, what comes to your mind immediately? For me it was Clouds. BTW, vocallyb& Hissing of Summer Lawns came right to my mind. And as for her being young and writing incredible lyrics, the question is, whose mother reads Shakespeare to her child?! B Also, Joni has the gift of gab as many first children or only children do. B And, polio woke her up. B I read last night in In Her Words, that when she was quarantined, her mother visited her one time and brought her the Christmas tree that was instrumental in her recovery, and her dad didn't visit her at all. B Sanitariums were like that. B Definitely it was a wake up call for Joni at the age of reason. B Then there's Little Green, losing a child who ends up being out there somewhere, the radio being a means to sing to her perhaps. B Anybody else have the new book yet and reading it? I love that it is comes through her friendship with Malka. B What better way to do this thing than in conversation with somebody you love?!

Billy Strayhorn wrote "Lush Life" when he was 17. That's a real mind-blower. Look at the great painters - many lived short lives as did many genius musicians. Here for a flash to do their "work" and then gone. I'm so grateful Joni is still with us.
