In the interview he said he was gradually forced into retirement because of his gradually deteriorating hearing. So taking that into account I hasten to think that his involvement with the BSN project would be minimal with reference to Audial tasks.

As a result, by the time the Joni rolled around (I was hoping for "a case of you") I was emotionally primed. I'm always wary of orchestration, but there wasn't anything soft about this version. The lilting soprano sax (sounded a little like Wayne Shorter, but I don't know if he's on the personnel list) is a great wedding of late and early joni. This album will be great.

While this instrument is amazing and very nice, it would not work for the true Joni guitarist because: A) It will not do ALL of her tunings. It does not have the capability of going low or high enough at the same time. I gave them all of the tunings and they are going to work on changing this in their software. B) It only works on a Les Paul or Telecaster body style (VERY HEAVY) and then you have to add their hardware at a cost of about $1500-2000. It is a very cool device and for the guitarist that plays blues, slide type stuff it could be a godsend.

I'm still laughing ... LOL! Does that mean you taped the hockey game? This reminds me of the time I was trying to tape the short version of PWWAM that ran on CBC-TV. We've only got one TV and Fang wanted to watch The X-Files, so I got the VCR all set up to record. However, because of the way they switch channel numbers on cable TV, I thought it was Channel 6 on cable 5, when it was really the other way around, so I ended up with an hour's worth of on-screen TV-guide listings. I was SOOOO mad - at myself - but when Fang started laughing at me, I decided it was OK to be immature about it too, and I blamed the whole thing on him and called him every bad name in the book. I am so glad they made the whole show available on tape to buy. More music, more talk, NO COMMERCIALS! Is this JC or not JC?

We have very up-to-date development tools and run a series of virus tests on all incoming files. Our anti-virus software detected a serious virus in the file. It is classified as a system-level virus and could be dangerous to your operating systems. If you received the e-mail, please delete both the file and e-mail message immediately, then empty your recycle bin (permanent delete). Sorry Michael, don't mean to offend you. I'm sure you didn't know about the virus.

Harper Lou ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 14:06:56 -0800 From: Louis Lynch Subject: RE: URGENT VIRUS ALERT -- PRETTY PARK Michael and JMDL, Sorry if you feel that I'm intruding with this long e-mail, but I feel it's important since we may have all been exposed to a virus. I did some checking on the e-mail virus that was sent from your computer. It was definitely not something you passed along -- it generated itself from your e-mail system. You will not be able to find the "file" -- it is merely a script embedded in another file sent to you as an attachment. PrettyPark.exe is probably a file created by the script and not the name of the stored file that contains the virus. The virus is carried as a hidden script, and could have been conveyed to your computer in any document you received (word, wave file, etc.). It probably came to you within the past 24 hours. When you opened the attachment (any file type) or previewed the e-mail, the script fired. It attached itself to your address book, created the message (we received) and sent the message to the addresses in your book. A more insidious version could have had a delay trigger -- it could have been waiting in memory until you did something to trigger it, such as send another e-mail, open a program, or another activity. It also could have triggered automatically if you have your e-mail browser set for Preview. To cleanse your computer: Go to the location where your e-mail files are stored. Your "sent items" folder may be able to give you an approximate time when the virus fired off its messages. For best results, you should delete all the attachments you received within the past 24 hours. If they are important business documents, save them to other files or ask the senders for replacements. If they are unimportant (such as jokes, etc.), simply delete them. You also should delete all e-mails you received within the past day or two. If you have very important e-mails, copy their text and store it in a text file or Word document to preserve it. Since the script is embedded in a file, it is probably safest to delete all nonessential e-mails and attachments you've received recently. Remember to empty the Recycle Bin immediately. To prevent the virus from spreading: In Settings, Control Panel, Internet (Browser) Setup, there should be a panel that include the "Enable Script" flag. This is an on/off switch that tells your computer to run any scripts it receives automatically, or to prompt you before running incoming scripts. You see, even though you may not have opened the e-mail or attachment involved, your e-mail program might have allowed the virus script to run automatically. (For example, Outlook 2000 automatically stops scripts during Preview, but previous versions did not.) Set the flag to prompt you before running incoming scripts. That way, the script cannot bypass your virus detection software. For maximum protection: The e-mails you receive should be formatted as "plain text" (ASCII) only. When you receive files in Rich Text format (with colors and pictures), you allow scripts into your system without checking them. Sorry for the long, boring e-mail, guys. Harper Lou ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 15:58:26 -0600 From: "Michael Paz" Subject: VIRUS ALERT!!! To the JMDL- Hello friends (I hope) I received the Pretty Park Virus from a trusted friend who apparently sent it out to me without knowing it. It in turn attached itself to my address book and you guys know the rest of the story. This is a very ugly and dangerous virus DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT CALLED PRETTY PARK. EXE it will reek havoc on your system. Here is a fix that someone who was on my email list sent back to me in case you need it. I pass it along to you inhopes that it will help you should you need it. My sincere apologies to everyone that might have been infected by being on my list. I guess this means that will have to wear condoms from now on. Best wishes to all. Michael (on my way out the door to meet Terry Matlin for dinner) PrettyPark.Worm Aliases: Trojan Horse, W32.PrettyPark, Trojan.PSW.CHV, CHV Infection Length: 37,376 Area of Infection: C:\Windows\System, Registry, Email Attachments Likelihood: Common Detected as of: June 1, 1999 Characteristics: Worm, PrettyPark.EXE, Files32.VXD <<...>> Description This is a worm program that behaves similar to Happy99 Worm . This worm program was originally spread by email spamming from a French email address. The attached program file is named "PrettyPark.EXE". The original report of this worm was submitted through our exclusive Scan&Deliver system on May 28, 1999 from France. When the attached program called "PrettyPark.EXE" is executed, it may display the 3D pipe screen saver. It will also create a file called FILES32.VXD in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and modify the following registry entry value from "%1" %* to FILES32.VXD "%1" %* without your knowledge: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\exefile\shell\open\command Once the worm program is executed, it will try to email itself automatically every 30 minutes (or 30 minutes after it is loaded) to email addresses registered in your Internet address book. It will also try to connect to an IRC server and join a specific IRC channel. The worm will send information to IRC every 30 seconds to keep itself connected, and to retrieve any commands from the IRC channel. Via IRC, the author or distributor of the worm can obtain system information including the computer name, product name, product identifier, product key, registered owner, registered organization, system root path, version, version number, ICQ identification numbers, ICQ nicknames, victims email address, and Dial Up Networking username and passwords. In addition, being connected to IRC opens a security hole in which the client can potentially be used to receive and execute files. Norton AntiVirus will detect PrettyPark.Worm as "Trojan Horse" with June 1, 1999 virus definitions. With the June 9, 1999 definitions or later, the worm will be detected as "PrettyPark.Worm." Repair Information Removing this worm manually: Using REGEDIT, modify the Registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\exefile\ shell\open\command from FILES32.VXD "%1" %* to "%1" %* (You may launch REGEDIT through Windows Start-menu-RUN. Then search for "FILES32.VXD" in REGEDIT.) Delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FILES32.VXD Delete the "Pretty Park.EXE" file. Reboot your computer. You need to do step #1 above; otherwise, executable files may not run properly if you simply delete FILES32.VXD Safe Computing This worm, and other trojan-horse type programs, demonstrate the need to practice safe computing. You should not launch any executable-file attachment (EXE, SHS, MS Word or MS Excel file) that comes from an untrusted email or newsgroup source. These files should always be scanned by Norton AntiVirus , using the latest virus definitions . <<...>> ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 16:08:12 -0800 From: Mike Friedman Subject: Re: URGENT VIRUS ALERT -- PRETTY PARK Please note that this is a virus that can ONLY affect Windows machines.

Lindsay 1 INTERVIEW OF JONI MITCHELL 2 DECEMBER 21, 1999 3 at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions 4 INTERVIEWER: NEIL INGLES 5 6 (Neil Ingles): In our conversation with Joni 7 Mitchell, she said, "I paint my joy and I sing my sorrows." 8 At the dawn of the 21st century, her 21st album is being 9 released for Valentine's Day. 10 On today's "Let's Do Lunch," we'll listen to songs 11 from the new album "Both Sides, Now." You'll be surprised 12 and delighted by what you hear. And walk through 13 Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions to look at Joni 14 Mitchell's paintings with the artist. 15 Q. Of course, everyone knows you as a songwriter 16 and singer and performer and may not be as familiar with the 17 fact that you have been a visual artist really all your 18 life, and you've always lent your visual art to the design 19 of your recordings. The albums have always been, in each 20 case, included some artwork of yours, and even more 21 assertively, it seems in recent years. 22 A. Well, all but "Blue" album which was -- which 23 I didn't do. And I don't recall why now, but I think I ran away 24 from home that year (laughs). I think I went to Europe or 25 something, but, yeah, because I was -- I've always been 26 a painter, and when I became a musician and was faced with 27 the release of an album and this package, this space to be 28 decorated, I just applied what I always, you know, intended 1 to do. 2 Q. Uh-huh. Where did you -- did you study 3 actually? 4 A. I did briefly. I went to Alberta Institute of 5 Art in Calgary. I didn't think much of the education at 6 that time. It wasn't what I wanted. But because I wanted 7 to be a figurative painter and the professors there were all 8 pouring blue and green paint down incline planes. It was 9 a pocket where traditional painting, classical education, 10 had been kind of abandoned and actually there was a 11 prejudice against anyone with hand-eye coordination and a 12 rendering ability. They wanted you green and, you know, 13 mainly with the impulse to be an artist rather than any 14 chops, and although in the first year you were given marks 15 and that aspect of your ability was evaluated and I did very 16 well, I was in conflict with my profs all of the time mainly 17 because they were Barnet Newman fanatics and I felt that he 18 had failed both, you know, his political thrust was to make 19 something too big for the Bourgeois to slip into their 20 houses but instead they were ending up in General Motors 21 lobbies and everything so, you know, as a "pinko" he'd kind of 22 philosophically failed. 23 Q. I don't know Newman's work. Will you tell us 24 a little more about it? 25 A. Oh, he was kind of the king of the 26 Minimalists, the big blue canvas with the white stripe. I 27 mean after the -- you know, first the stroke was 28 liberated, you know, probably starting with Rembrandt and 1 Van Gogh and the Expressionists, and color was liberated, 2 and then finally abstraction began, and the image, you know, 3 was ruined and it was just a fresh look and then brush 4 stroke was kind of eliminated by the Minimalists. And they 5 earned their place in our history, but I didn't -- and 6 they're great decorative pieces for large, modern 7 structures. You know, they look good in museums and they 8 look good in the lobby of General Motors, you know, but 9 there isn't that much -- and in the art mausoleums that 10 people build these days for that kind of a modern 11 collection. But, so -- but philosophically they were 12 breaking down the window to another world, and there were a 13 lot of the things that were the concepts of older painting 14 which I still admired, and in a way it was kind of sad to 15 find that your impulses belonged to another era and that you 16 weren't going to be given the knowledge that you sought. So 17 I was in conflict with them most of the time. 18 Q. Something -- if I can -- if I can say this, 19 that there seems something very rooted and traditional 20 in your artwork. 21 A. Well, this is my 90s work. And in the 90s I 22 decided, you know, just to do -- to follow my instinct, my 23 initial impulses. I entered art school and teach myself 24 what I wanted to learn. In the 80s I painted large and 25 abstractly just to get rid of that prejudice, you know. And 26 I learned a lot about brush style and texture and I enjoyed 27 the journey. I still don't think that much -- I'm not 28 a "Moderne," you know. I like Post-Modern because of its, you 1 know, return to a certain amount of classicism, but, yeah, I 2 live in an old house, for one thing, and I paint for myself 3 for another. I'm not part of the art world or the game. 4 It's not like it's a hobby, you know. It's truly an 5 obsession that I've never lost. 6 But -- but this type of art -- I can't afford 7 (laughs), you know, I painted paintings that I wanted, like 8 about subjects that I wanted to see on my wall so they're 9 very personal subjects. You know, there's my cat. Well, 10 that painting -- we could start with that. 11 That was painted out of necessity. My cat, 12 Nietzsche, peed all over a couple of chairs, and you can't 13 snuggle him because he's part ocelot, so I said to him -- 14 and I love this cat. Look at his eyes. I mean he's such a 15 romantic animal. 16 Q. Let's walk over to the painting. 17 A. I said to him, if you're going to act like an 18 animal, you're going to live like an animal, and I grabbed 19 him by the stump of the tail and the nape of the neck, and I 20 put him outside which I never do because we have coyotes 21 that live at the end of the block. Well, he had the most 22 hurt expression in his eyes and he disappeared for 18 days. 23 Well, this cat and I have a ritual on the stairs 24 between the bedroom and the downstairs of the house. We 25 stop at the top, he stands on his hind legs, I swoop down, 26 he takes my fingers in his mouth and he chews on them. Then 27 we skip the next three steps, and he stands on his hind legs 28 on the third. Then we skip the next two and he stands up 1 again and sometimes he stands up twice on each stair if he 2 really loves me a lot that day. You know, like sometimes he just 3 stands there if I did something, you know, and looks at the 4 ground and doesn't look at me and doesn't stand up at all. 5 But everytime I go down the stairs, this cat goes with me. 6 So with him absent the stairs became a painful place. I 7 mean everytime I went down them, there was hole in me. 8 So the night he disappeared I went looking for 9 pictures of him and found one when he was a kitten that was 10 taken without outdoor film indoors. And his color is kind 11 of lilac-y. He's like a puce color. So it was a kitten and 12 his tail wasn't straight up; it didn't look like him. I 13 thought, I'll never get him back from this. So I painted 14 that the first night of his absence and I had to make the - -- 15 grow him into adult from the picture, the source material I 16 had, put his head straight up and remember the color that he 17 was so that people could identify him. Then a friend of 18 mine had them made up into laminates. And I distributed 19 them with a phone number all through the neighborhood, you know, and 20 this is how I got him back. Eighteen days later a gardener 21 called up and said, he's in our yard. 22 So I went down and he yelled at me. He was so 23 skinny and had such a hurt look. And he yelled and he 24 yelled and he yelled. And I yelled back and I noticed that he 25 wanted to duck and belly up but then he changed his mind. 26 No, he still had more madness to get out. So he yelled at 27 me some more, but I softened my tone, you know, into 28 a pleading tone, and finally he bellied up and I took him 1 home with me. 2 So that painting actually saved him from the wild 3 because he was too proud to come home. I hurt his feelings 4 so bad. 5 Q. And you actually finished this painting in one 6 night? 7 A. In one and a half, yes. 8 Q. In one and a half? 9 A. All one night and the next afternoon we got it 10 photographed on the second day, printed and back on the 11 fourth or fifth, and distributed on the sixth and I got him 12 back on the -- 18 days later. 13 Q. Joni, you say that you paint for yourself. 14 A. Mm-hmm. 15 Q. And there doesn't seem to be an intent of, 16 like, point of origination that you don't paint for a 17 particular exhibit. 18 A. No, I don't paint for galleries, I don't paint 19 for museums. 20 Q. Did Amy Adler actually call you -- 21 A. I paint to go with my couch (laughs). 22 Q. Now, that's the question, if you actually got 23 some artwork from somebody else whether you're allowed to, 24 like, paint over it if it doesn't match your couch. You 25 wouldn't do that? 26 A. Oh, I've done that. 27 Q. Oh, no Joni. 28 A. Well, not necessarily to match my old 1 paintings and work on them, you know, like change the color 2 for one reason or another but that's as good as any. I 3 mean, after all, they're domestic decorations. You 4 know, that's really what they are, they're domestic 5 decorations. 6 Q. Did Amy Adler actually contact you -- 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. -- about curating the show? 9 A. Yes, through Wayne Shorter. She -- 10 Q. Through the composer? 11 A. Yes. They were gathering up there, she and a 12 couple of other girls, you know, spending time with Wayne, 13 and she mentioned that she would like to curate this show. 14 Q. And did she ask you -- did she say I want - -- 15 I'd like to present X number of paintings or anything like 16 that? 17 A. She said that there was a limited space and 18 that it would probably require a certain amount -- she'd 19 seen the work on album covers and, you know, even some 20 curators won't take a print on an album cover. They want a 21 certain kind of slide and so on, but I think because Amy 22 already had translated her work into print, she's not so 23 worried about the printed form. But, anyway, it sounded 24 like a fun idea and most of my shows have been 25 fly-by-nights. They've been, like, up one night and down 26 the next, you know. So the idea that the public would be 27 able to see them sounded intriguing. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2000 #24 ******************************** Don't forget about these ongoing projects: Glossary project: Send a blank message to for all the details.
