Dissent, rebellion and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots." -- Barbara Ehrenreich ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 15:40:28 -0500 From: "Chris Negrin" Subject: MM: RE: Children Running Through on salon.com I thought I'd share Patty's interpretation of the poem that inspired the naming of the new album. "It's about this point in your life when you start to lighten up and have fun with yourself and see things not quite as seriously," Griffin said. "There's a lot of crap and pain that's never going to stop happening just simply by the fact that someone is alive, and so you sort of, at a certain point in your life, must give up beating on yourself. It takes on a self-indulgent quality and it's no longer very useful," she continued, offering up a final word of advice: "You have to learn how to laugh at yourself." CHILDREN RUNNING THROUGH By Rumi I used to be shy. You made me sing. I used to refuse things at the table. Now I shout for more wine. In somber dignity, I used to sit on my mat and pray. Now children run through and make faces at me. - ---------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2007 15:53:10 -0700 From: "Bridget Buchen" Subject: MM: new cd OK! i skipped class today and drove around for 3 hours listening to CRT. it is amazing! its a bit more spicy than impossible dream. every time i think it cant get any better. patty proves me wrong!

I don't know why. Think of what a different world we would live in if more people could learn to laugh at themselves once in a while. My CRT is on the way from Barnes & Noble - but I'm in Canada so I have to wait a few more days. Can't wait to hear what you've all heard already...

I know some lamented its exclusion from CRT, so you'll be glad to know it's available, even if you do have to purchase the entire album (it is NOT available as an individual track). I pre-ordered from B&N to get those 2 extra tracks, but I gladly paid another $9.99 to get a studio version of Moon Song. Cheers! Aaron .

There's more in there folks. At the end of the mini-review, the reviewer lists tracks available to download (snippets of some songs) and other songs to skip. No songs are listed as skippable. That's highly unusual for a USAToday review. Even more amazingly, in the intro to the forthcoming reviews, the paragraph makes reference to "one of the music world's most respected singer-songwriters". He is not explicit that it is Patty, but I'm sure it is because Patty is mentioned in the headline. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Francis To: kaycee973@aol.com ; mad-mission@smoe.org Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 9:10 AM Subject: Re: MM: Children Running Through.

And more.... Two persons post comments to the USAToday reviews. Comment 1: Patty Griffin - Children Running Through A+ Comment 2: Totally with Brian on Patty's new album. It's a tour de force. Patty just amazes the hell out of me. She's got the writing skills and one heck of a voice (and Brian's last sentence is dead on). Impossible Dream and Children Running Through are masterpieces in their own rights. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Francis To: kaycee973@aol.com ; mad-mission@smoe.org Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 9:10 AM Subject: Re: MM: Children Running Through.

B&N had plenty of them... But then, they are promoting it with the extra songs. Best Buy really sucks these days. I remember when they first came to So. Cal. The selection was amazing. I could even find old Joan Armatrading disks. Now? I'm lucky if they have the new release I'm looking for. They didn't have the new Crowded House CD last week (although they had the DVD). I miss Tower Records. :-( Target? Really? You went looking for new music at Target? How sad that those are our non-online choices these days.
