A fund-raiser to help WallyB has nothing to do with Joni? If you'll excuse me for personalising this a little - about three months ago I finally took the plunge and bought the necessary equipment to access the Internet. My very first 'search' ever was, I remember the moment well, "Joni Mitchell" - clunk! clunk! flicker! flicker.......clunk... and suddenly onto the screen Results: containing '"Joni Mitchell"' - 5272 1. The Joni Mitchell Homepage http://www.jonimitchell.com/ Remember, this is my first ever experience of anything internet whatsoever. Oh joy! Oh wonder! Interviews with David Crosby, Tom Rush, dulcimer makers, latest news, all her lyrics and open tunings, album and concert reviews - oh my God - I was up all bloody night just reading this one site - what's this? A discussion list and cafe? Sounds interesting - I wonder how much it costs to subscirbe - oh, it's free! Come to think of it - the whole site is free - there are no signs of profiteering whatsover - other than a connection with CD Now - fair enough. "How very un-American", I think to myself (No! Don't hit me!). Now I've never ever thought of myself as obsessed by Joni Mitchell. I am, however, obsessed by music - and Joni just happens to have been my favourite musician since 1968. I clearly remember hearing her name for the first time - I was playing guitar in a small coffee bar in Oxford (England) one night and a young guy with electrified 'Jimi Hendrix style' hair, is sitting in the corner holding a guitar case. I ask him if he'd like to play and he timidly says yes and, to a completely silenced bar, he plays a song called 'Marcie'. The very next day I am sitting in the listening booth of my local record shop hearing 'Song to a Seagull' for the first time, feeling so so excited that I had had the good fortune to discover someone who I just instinctively knew was going to be really really significant. And now, over 30 years later, I'm being asked to send a donation to help fund this truly brilliant place, conceived by this great guy who, due to ill-health is, I hear, being forced to give up his job. Am I going to send a donation? Well of course I am! And so should absolutely everyone on this list - if not money, then something to raffle or auction at the Jonifest. I read that when Wally first met Joni she asked him whether he was getting any help from her label, Reprise - if I remember rightly, she promised to look into it. Now, I am personally doubtful that Joni herself is a subscriber to the JMDL - but you can be damn sure that someone from Reprise is - lurking away every day to see what Joni's 'fan-base' is up to. Hi there! How about making Wally part of your publicity budget?? I bet your own 'miscellaneous expenses' account for one week is more than Ashara has raised so far!! Just take a loook at Wally's stats page - Last month's webstats had more than 479,000 total hits to all of the pages in the Mitchell site, with 6.0 GB of traffic. There've been 1,005,812 visitors to the homepage since August 1995 That's One million, five thousand eight hundred and twelve real people who are really interested - come on, Mr (or Ms) CEO of Reprise - how about matching that with $1.00 for every web site hit!! Dream on, Pauly boy! P.S. My other favourite internet site is Jane Siberry's Sheeba - I really urge you all to go and look around her 'hotel'. As someone who has shunned record companies and is now running her own business, my heart is with her. I couldn't sleep the other night so I got up, turned on my computer and went to http://www.sheeba.ca/ The screen just said "Please go away - I'm having some problems and I am currently under the table trying to fix them. Please come back tomorrow - Love Jane." Today the site is back and looking wonderful. She has a little payoff line in her correspondence that I would ask you all to think of when deciding whether to bother to send anything for Wally (Hi, Reprise - are you still reading this?) It goes: May your generosity come back to you one thousand fold. PaulC PPS Ashara - can I pay by credit card or would you mind cash (I totally trust you) - it's just that an International Money Order is going to cost me the equivalent of around $20.00!! Please advise privately. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 09:21:05 -0400 (EDT) From: "Gerald Notaro (LIB)" Subject: Re: Backstreet Boys On Sat, 22 May 1999, Rick & Penny Gibbons wrote: > > Michael Paz shared: > > >>Mikey had an excellent report card so I bought him the new Backstreet > Boys CD and Video. > > Browsing around today I saw this little Joni reference in an interview > The Backstreet Boys did in promotion of the new cd Michael mentioned. > It's not much, but still, it's another chance for some of the "pop" kids > to get curious about who their heartthrobs are talking about! > > "Critics are critics,´´ he says. ``We´re not trying to be the Joni > Mitchell of our time, or the Jimi Hendrix of our time.

I really love it when Joni is mentioned in current films, TV shows and commercials. I can’t figure how if her name is being mentioned more often, or if I’m just more tuned in to it. I think she’s mentioned more often ‘cause I’ve been tuned in for 28 years and the mentions are definitely on the increase. It really pleases me that she has had such an impact on a generation of writers who are now peppering their prose with Joni tidbits. Bev >> I agree with you Bev.

But if she did, then I hope she's happy with it. Orwell said, "At twenty a man has the face he was born with , at fifty the face he's earned." With collagen implants at $450 a pop, how true! I do want to say good luck to our Marian of the Euro-JMDL. She is going to be doing a set of Joni & Dylan tunes at the Dylan Fest in Austria this weekend.

This topic has come up before. I feel somewhat caddy talking about it but as someone who has seen Joni somewhat recently, without makeup, I don't think she has had a "facelift". She definitely looked her age. As a point of reference, check out the New York Times Magazine photo or the Day in The Garden concert. Amazing wonders can be done with makeup. Joni often doesn't wear much but has referred to her makeup artist, Paul Starr, as an "artist who just happens to work on faces". He did her makeup for the PWWAM video. My recollection is that she says in an interview that she has not done it (gone under the knife) *yet*. I believe her. That isn't to say she hasn't had more uninvasive procedures such as botox etc. As a woman of 43, with skin starting to sag, I won't rule out the possibility of doing some of these things myself. If I had the money and time like Joni, I probably would have done it already. - -- Phyliss pward@lightspeed.net http://www.bodywise.com/consultants/bpward ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 99 11:25:13 -0700 From: Wally Breese Subject: Entertainment Weekly Hey folks, The issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine that features Joni, which I mentioned in a post last week, is arriving in the mail and on newstands this weekend. It's dated May 28th and it's a Special Collector's Issue entitled "The 100 Greatest Moments In Rock." Joni gets a nod in a few areas of this issue, including a short interview under the heading "Master Take," complete with a full page photo taken recently by Anton Corbijn. The image is quite different (I'll call it breezy) and I'm interested in hearing what you all think about it. Also on the page preceeding this IV & photo, there is an additional small photo of Joni from 1970, along with one of James Taylor and Carole King- the "Singer-Songwriters." And that's not all! The album Blue was voted the #4 "Classic Album" in the ET Wkly Online Poll (Way to go, folks!), and Hejira was voted as one of the "100 Greatest Album Covers." Even without the plethora of Joni stuff, this is a very cool issue. Enjoy!

This philosophy matches mine. But whether anyone wants a facelift or not, whether it be Joni, the neighbor or my best friend, it's really none of my affair. Facelift or not, the photo in ASCAP site, is among my *least* favorite of Joni. It simply doesn't look like her. It doesn't capture the beautiful Joni I've come to know through images over the years. Had this type of photo been taken when she was 25, I would not have liked it then either. But maybe when *I'm* 55, I'll feel quite differently about this and I, too, may want a "glamour" shot. In any event, this whole issue is not earth shattering. I'll be glad when either or both the tribute album and the album of standards and possible tour are avialable for us to discuss. We'll forget all about the relative insignifance of the possible facelilft!

I picked up the latest issue yesterday so I'll have something to read on the plane next week, and this magazine is one big, fat, music-only gem! Anyway, this latest issue has some great pieces on Tom Petty, the Stones, Tom Waits, Ben Folds, Abba, etc. Plus, they have a piece based on reader response called "100 Greatest singers of all time" in which Joni places 19th. The top ten are: 1. John Lennon 2. Elvis P 3. Aretha 4. Frank Sinatra 5. Bob Dylan 6. Roy O. 7. Paul McCartney 8. Otis R. 9. Robert Plant 10. Ray Charles Hope y'all are having a good weekend...

He has touched me very deeply with his hot-blooded, uncontestable argument. I hope all of us -- only-joniers, njc-ers and loose-talkers alike -- will come to our senses and GIVE GIVE GIVE, as little or as much as we can. I could never say it as eloquently as Paul, but the feeling is the same. This is the first time in my life that I have felt that there is a community to which I am proud to belong and the diversity of which I enjoy rather than resent. No church, political movement or family setting has ever fulfilled my sense of community so much as the JMDL. The work of Joni Mitchell has been pivotal in the construction of my identity. Short of her music itself, I can't think of any greater contribution to my life as an artist than my membership to the JM Internet Community. I have encountered friendship, intellectual challenges, posts that had me rolling with laughter ... and I have had even the unique chance to fall in love with a fabulous jmdler out there and to be loved back! Wally and Les are such incredible mid-wives! I know donations are a matter of choice and even of principles sometimes. But could we leave all considerations aside for the time being and chip in whatever we think fit? If you still need a reason to pledge your support, think of my potential for romantic entanglements and what keeping me busily in love and away from the keyboard can do for your peace of mind!!!

As I plowed through 360+ email and other things, I kind of realized that no one missed me all that much... oh well. The below is something I found today on a new Joni album, and the subject may have been covered in here but in case someone missed it, here it is. The article also answered the question for me, how did TTT do on the charts. (the Rev) Vince http://www.billboard.com:80/daily/1999/0521_05.html New Joni Mitchell Set A Standard Affair Joni Mitchell is recording an album of standards with an orchestra. "I got hooked," the eclectic singer tells Billboard Online "when I performed with the El Niño Orchestra [at a 1998 benefit organized by Don Henley]. An arranger is working on the material now. I'm just going to come in to the studio and sing the songs like Frank [Sinatra]." Among the tracks she'll be covering are Billie Holiday's "Comes Love" and "You've Changed," as well as "Answer Me My Love" and "Stormy Weather." Mitchell, a past winner of Billboard's Century Award, will also sing a few standards that she wrote, including "Both Sides Now." The project is being produced by her ex-husband, Larry Klein. Mitchell's last album, "Taming The Tiger," was released last September by Reprise/Warner Bros. It peaked at No. 75 on The Billboard 200. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 18:12:11 EDT From: Ginamu@aol.com Subject: Re: Facelift?

Did I miss something? I don't think it at all stupid that one would think Joni looks like her daughter in the ASCAP photo. That was what I first thought when I saw it. I believe others have stated this as well. Maybe it's the hairstyle, but Joni's face looks broader, much more like Killauren (did I get the spelling correct?). Enough of *that* photo.

Shamefully too busy to even lurk lately (no less contribute) -- but MISSING you all very much and hoping to return to the group a little more actively as things begin to wind down. Paid one of my periodic visits to Wally's page to see what's new and read about Joni's ASCAP award on 5/17 -- which has probably been discussed in depth on the list (so now I guess I'll *have to* skim recent digests-:) Was TOUCHED to read about this latest honor. Hearing that Stevie Wonder brought the house down with his performance of Woodstock -- and moved Joni to tears -- all but moved *me* to tears :-) If anyone managed to capture this on VHS (Wally's page didn't mention that it was televised so I'm not sure if anyone was able to "capture" it...) BUT, if anyone with video dubbing abilities cares to work out either a trade for music or a "blanks+postage" VHS deal, please email me privately (kg@ibm.net). Of course, if there's a possibility that this will air again as a repeat, perhaps someone can tell me that date/channel so that I can see it and record it myself. Thanks to anyone who's able to help!

JM is not Bartleby and I didn't mean to suggest that. Rather than making a meticulous parallel I was really just trying to convey a more general impression of perceived sympathy between where JM seems to be coming from (in this particular case in "Two Grey Rooms") and what Kerouac was saying about the Beats. Anyway, in Kerouac's statement the Bartleby reference is not, I think, a negative one - the implied "I would prefer not to" is IMO directed at the life-denying in our civilization and, therefore, can be seen as an affirmation. I would be the last to say that JM's work was in any way negative. It is, in the best sense, life affirming! As an addendum to this, I think there might perhaps be one point of specific comparison between Bartleby and JM - when it comes to examining/interpreting her work she, like Bartleby, is on record as preferring not to!

I can't even remember the name of it (it might just be Complete Volume Number 1), but it's a collection of the music and lyrics of 2 or 3 albums, and the cover, I believe, is one of her watercolors in mostly oranges. Among the songs inside are Real Good For Free, Woodstock, Circle Game, Both Sides Now, etc. Even our big music store in downtown Chicago does not have it. They suggest it's out of print.

The image is quite different (I'll > call it breezy) and I'm interested in hearing what you all think about > it. The photo is b&w & has Joni wearing some kind of broad-brimmed hat pushed back on her head so the dark brim frames her face. Her hair is blowing around, partially obscurring the right side of her face (the viewers left), strands of it blowing up over the brim of her hat. She has a beatific look on her face. She looks almost saintly. It is a beautiful photograph and will dispell any suspicions that Joni has had 'work' done on her face. It somehow reminds me of the black crow in flight photo from the Hejira sleeve. Something about the expression of the eyes. She is so beautiful and the lines around the eyes and mouth only enhance her special beauty. Mark in Seattle NP: Edith & the Kingpin from David Lahm's 'Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell'. It finally arrived from CDNow after being on back order (still haven't gotten the PWWAM DVD). So far I think it's wonderful and I tip my hat to Mr. Lahm.

I just picked up money from a JMDLer from another country this way, which was very easy, and sent the money to Wally via my own check. 3) I have friends in England, who have sent cash via the mail many times before over the years, and it has never been a problem, so that way would be fine also. Thanks!! Hugs, Ashara P.S. Since this will also be going to the Joni-only list, and I sent the update on the NJC list, I have 13 checks totaling $371.00 so far!!!! YAY!!!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 23:08:51 EDT From: CaTGirl627@aol.com Subject: Re: Mere technicalities In a message dated 5/22/1999 10:38:49 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Ashara@aol.com writes: << 3) I have friends in England, who have sent cash via the mail many times before over the years, and it has never been a problem, so that way would be fine also.

When she caleed the post master he told her that they can *sniff* out money. this is what I was told so don't beat up on me please... Catgirl...always writing checks to be safe! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 23:28:18 EDT From: RMuRocks@aol.com Subject: Re: Entertainment Weekly Mark describes: << It is a beautiful photograph and will dispell any suspicions that Joni has had 'work' done on her face. It somehow reminds me of the black crow in flight photo from the Hejira sleeve. Something about the expression of the eyes. She is so beautiful and the lines around the eyes and mouth only enhance her special beauty.>> What are you saying Mark? That she's got Black Crow's feet around her eyes? :~D Bob << David Lahm's 'Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell'. It finally arrived from CDNow after being on back order>> Yea! Maybe I'll finally get mine from backorder too... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 23:38:44 -0400 From: "Eric G. Postel" Subject: * When did Joni play OSU? Hi everybody.
