Henry" Subject: Re: HAPPY HEW YEAR!!! Hi Penny, Glad you liked the card... The pic was taken by Robert Altman, a really great photographer who, along with Annie Liebowitz(sp?) practically documented the entire 60's-70's period and I got it from his really interesting (to me anyway) photo site at: http://www2.cea.edu/robert/ which is really huge... It was in a section called 'mixed bag' at: http://www2.cea.edu/robert/Page13.Mixed.Bag.html ...he's also the person who took this familiar pic: http://www2.cea.edu/robert/JoniMitchell.gif as for the guy in the middle, my best logical guess would be that it's Richard Farina who wrote a really great song I used to do called 'Pack Up Your Sorrows' and a book called 'Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me'... But then it doesn't look like the pic of him on his book cover: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0140189300.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif but, see, the reason I thought it might be him is because typically in those days you would see him with his wife Mimi http://www2.cea.edu/robert/MimiFarinia.lo.JPEG onstage with her sister Joan Baez and it looks like she's there in the pic. ...and no, that's probably not Graham... The pic look like it was before he knew her... more like when I knew her. Wow! I really do get to ramblin', don't I? LoL! Ok, lessee... I *do* remember you wrote and asked me about this before and I think I have a half written ltr around here somewhere... Anyway, to cut to the chase, the Spikedrivers sounds vaguely familiar... but unfortunately very vaguely. (Could, just as easily, considering the time frame, be referring to a bunch of speed freaks) the Poison Apple sounds more familiar, though... That could've been the name of the hippy coffeehouse down on plum st., run by a chick named Tamara... Not too far from the area near Wayne State campus where Chuck and Joni lived up until around '67... and where I moved into a commune in '68. I never played there... Can't verify they ever played together there. Sorry. Ok, that's enough for now. Have a happy hew year and take care. pat ps - PENNY! wow, I just realized that the pic I sent on the card was actually a smaller 'thumnail' link to the real thing, even though it's pretty big! HERE is the actual JPG: http://www2.cea.edu/robert/Joni.Judy.Joan.jpeg ...also, as a point of interest to sticklers for authentic trivia, I'll bet you dollars to donuts that's a pack of Tereyton(sp?) cigarettes tucked in Joni's belt... I say that because of the telltale stripe and also because I know that's the kind she smoked back then. :o) ps - btw, here's that song: {title:Pack Up Your Sorrows} {st:Richard Farina} N[C]o use crying, tal[F]king to a stranger, N[C]aming the sorrows you've s[G]een.[G7] T[C]oo many sad times, t[F]oo many bad times, A[C]nd nobody kn[G7]ows what you m[C]ean. {c:Chorus:} [C]Ah, but if somehow you could p[F]ack up your sorrows, [C]And give them all to [G]me, Y[C]ou would lose them, I[F] know how to use them, G[C]ive them [G7]all to [C]me. No use rambling, walking in the shadows, Trailing a wandering star. No one beside you, no one to hide you, Nobody knows where you are. {c:Chorus.} No use gambling, running in the darkness, Looking for a spirit that's free. Too many wrong times, too many long times, Nobody knows what you see. {c:Chorus.} No use roaming, lying by the roadside, Seeking a satisfied mind. Too many highways, too many byways, And nobody's walking behind. {c:Chorus.} -- On Wed, 29 Dec 1999 22:10:07 Penny wrote: Pat That card was GREAT! Thanks, so much! Who was the guy in the middle?

What life? Updated 7:30 PM ET December 30, 1999 By Susan Cornwell LONDON, Dec 31 (Reuters) - In the long run, we'll all be dead. That at least is the grim 1,000-year outlook from London School of Economics professor Ian Angell, who can't imagine humanity surviving for another millennium. "There isn't going to be a human race in 1,000 years," says Angell, author of a forthcoming book on the future. That's because the world has too many people already, he says, and they are "using up the seed corn." Earth may be scarcely inhabitable anyway in the year 3000, according to a British climate prediction centre that says global warming could make the planet twice as hot by then if current consumption rates of fossil fuels continue. If that happened the West Antarctic ice sheet would disintegrate, making the sea rise up to five metres and swallow up whole countries, says Hadley Centre head Geoff Jenkins. "You're changing the climate so fundamentally that many societies would need to substantially adjust or even relocate to survive -- if they could," he told the Independent newspaper. With the third millennium after the birth of Jesus Christ dawning on Saturday, not all forecasts are so apocalyptic. But the ideas popular a generation ago -- such as the belief that the future could bring a sort of utopia or super-human race capable of just about anything -- seem less widespread now. "I can't predict a thousand years... But I think one thing you can say is that people will have the same sort of brains," says Hamish McRae, a financial writer and author of the 1995 book "The World in 2020." NO FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE IN 3000 "Today we have the same brains as the Romans" who lived 2,000 years ago, McRae says. So in 3000, "maybe we'll be a bit taller, or thinner, or fatter, but not fundamentally different." In the next hundred years -- a time span crystal ball watchers feel fairly comfortable with -- the U.S.-based World Future Society sees a globe with more geriatrics and fewer languages, scarcer water, and many more pets. There will be widespread infertility but people will also have bio-monitoring devices that resemble wristwatches and provide wearers with data about their health. On the technology front, McRae hopes the Internet will enable services such as medical care to achieve the same sort of consistency of output in the near future that production lines brought to manufacturing in the 20th century. British Telecom's resident futurologist Ian Pearson foresees lots of fun new gadgets in the coming years, such as active contact lenses that will work as a kind of teleprompter. For example, the lenses would give you information you need about an old friend whose name you can't quite remember when you meet him on the street. But advanced technology will also bring "kitchen rage" problems because smart fridges will conspire to make you healthier with time locks on the door and a video camera watching what you take out, Pearson predicts. Then the microwave won't cook some meals because they contain too many calories. While the human race exists, Angell thinks it will become more polarised between rich and poor. "The regions that set up forms of government that will support the mobile rich, and will allow them to keep their wealth, are the ones that are going to be successful. They are going to be hot spots," he says. This will include part, but not all, of the United States, says Angell, whose futurist book is entitled "The New Barbarian Manifesto." WORLD IS TURNING MIDDLE CLASS "It will be very bleak for most of the world, but for the hot spots it will be very nice," he says. But William Rees Mogg, columnist for Britain's Times newspaper, predicts the opposite. He thinks the world is turning more middle class. "There will be a permanent majority of the Centre," he wrote recently, forecasting a "stable, prosperous world, with the bourgeois values prevailing in Asia and Euro-America." More concretely, financial writer McRae thinks the European single currency will be consigned to history within 10 years and within 25 years Russia will have recovered from its slump. "I'm quite sure the euro is something which will not go on forever," he says. "It will either be superseded electronically or break up and go into different currencies." Generally, "there is a more prosperous future and if we're sensible that prosperity carrries on," McRae says. But danger could arise after the next generation, beyond 2020, if the United States no longer guaranteed global security. McRae suggests forecasters should keep a sense of proportion about the new millennium. "A lot of things aren't going to change much," he says. "We'll still be in same sort of houses, still eating the same sort of food, still have things that are recognisably television sets. In one generation things don't change that much." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 09:03:40 -0500 From: waytoblu@mindspring.com Subject: Re: My Top 5, 10... and more Ok here goes(in no particular order)... 1. David Sylvian-Dead Bees on a Cake (i just love this album...its like a long meditation...excellent players as always...I surrender) 2.Jonatha Brooke-Live (saw her twice this year and hope to see her again in 2000) 3.Michelle Malone-Homegrown(incredible singer out of Atlanta with just a killer voice...and really good songs as well) 4.Indigo Girls-Live at the Tabernacle '99(not released) -(I had found I was not listening to them much at home recently but I went to see them in December and found they still have a magic when they play...their songs really come alive. I especially like the songs on which the crowd is singing along. It gives them a very warm feel...when I listen to this on headphones I feel as if I am right there, surrounded by it all. 5. Victor Johnson-Tangled (this isn't an ego trip-I truly love what I do and don't mind saying so. Just getting this cd together this year was quite an accomplishment. I remember having to record everything myself, having to work around barking dogs, MARTA buses, and loud, booming, car stereos playing rap music. I even had to use my feet to do punch ins--I learned how to manipulate the Adat remote with my toes. So far I've only received excellent feedback and I thank the people on this list (Bob and others) who have taken time to listen. Since I have no great marketing campaign yet, I appreciate your taking an interest in my music. I did recently receive word from Oasis in Virginia that they were including one of my songs on their next sampler cd which will be distributed to radio nationwide so hopefully that will generate some exposure. Also, this coming year I plan to start working on a new cd, which will be called American Beauty, and will have what I think are the best songs I've ever written. If you haven't heard my cd and would like to, visit -- theorchard.com-- or contact me for information on how to order one.) best unexpected musical moment-- My girlfriend Holly and I had just eaten dinner and wanted to go see a movie but somehow we managed to leave the restaurant at a time after everything had already started and nothing else would start for over an hour. But we noticed the theatre down the street had a movie starting in a half hour so we thought we'd check it out. The movie, Last Night, was the worst movie I have ever seen, just awful. But when we walked in the theatre 20 minutes early, the entire album John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman was playing on the stereo. I couldn't believe it, my favorite album of all times just playing away in an empty theatre (we walked in on the first song too!) These unexpected occurances seem to be woven into the thread of life. You just never really know where you'll end up, what you'll be doing, or who you'll be doing it with. But I guess that's the beauty of it all.

Congratulations to Stacy Luftig on a good selection of commentary and beautiful cover photo. A couple of minor factual errors: Mingus' autobiography is entitled "Beneath the Underdog" and the Lambert, Hendricks & Ross lp was called The Hottest New Group in Jazz. Schirmers' copyeditors performed carelessly on this project. I sympathize with Ms Lustig if she was frustrated on reading galleys or page proofs and seeing, for example, two different spellings of the name of JM's grandson, only to be told "It's too late to fix this." IMHO, Perry Meisel's review of HEJIRA is ludicrous. Wishing you all a Happy New Year, DAVID LAHM ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 20:38:30 +0000 From: Alan Larson Subject: Man on the Moon OK, I know I have a tendency to not be critical at all about movies I see. I try to enjoy everything, for the stuff that is appealing to me at least. But I just have to say that I thought Man in the Moon was very well done. I would expect nothing less from Milos Forman, of Cuckoo's Nest. It casts characters very well, as it takes someone like Jim Carrey to try to capture Kaufmann's lunacy. Of course the big surprise in the story is that Kaufmann really was somewhat looney. Unless you followed many of the stories in the news about him, which I hadn't, most people I feel have no idea how screwed up he was. That's what made the movie both excellent and annoying. And it all comes down to his alter-ego, his Clare Quilty, his Tony Clifton character. And to his attitude that somehow most of American audiences don't deserve his respect, but his scorn. He felt that sit-coms were beneath him. And that audiences were worthy adversaries. The scene where he gets mad at the college crowd who only wanted to hear Latka impressions was brilliant, and boring, but definitely one that stays with you. I once ate at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown that had a waiter named Sam Wo. He was the Don Rickles of waiters, and people would line up for half a block or so to get on his floor in this hole in the wall place. And Sam would hit on all the ladies shamelessly, while yelling at the boyfriends to get their own water. He called all the guys Pussycat. If people can actually enjoy being treated like this, maybe Kaufmann was right. The scene that showed his total brilliance, to me, was where he asks his TM guru what makes something funny. To which he said "Silence." And that's when he came up with the idea for the Mighty Mouse skit, as funny as anything he did in my book. ( he put on the mighty mouse 45, and would fidget until the chorus came around, then he would lipsync "Here he comes to save the day." And I thought that they gave short shrift to the show Taxi, as it was quite ahead of its time in tackling some serious issues, and was pretty innovative for its time. But overall, I think it was quite enjoyable, and although not a cinematic feast for the eyes, a great expose of the dynamic insanity that made Kaufmann both a tortured and brilliant artist. Can anyone tell me if they were really suggesting at the end that that was Kaufmann doing Tony Clifton, a year after his funeral? Maybe a Tom Sawyer trick? or just a clever way to make you think that despite it's impossibility. They made a point of showing Zmuda in the scene, who you thought was the one playing Clifton, cuz he had done it before. I like Lady or the Tiger endings. Anybody agree with me on this review? I think that as long as a movie makes you think, and smile, and maybe shed a tear, then it's a good movie. This one did that for me. For sure.
