The derogatory term "jerk" in American English is a short, more polite version of "jerk-off", something we used to call each other in junior high. The British equivalent would be "wanker". When I hear the word "jerk" any more, it seems kind of quaint to me. Like the words "neat" or "nifty" or "a-hole". - - Clark np: Martha Wash ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2000 22:14:44 -0500 From: waytoblu@mindspring.com Subject: Joni Mitchell live 3-7-83 I was rummaging through a bag of tapes and I found a maxell tape with live Joni on it that was apparently broadcast on some Spanish radio station since at the beginning of the tape some man is speaking really fast in Spanish. The first two songs are Both Sides Now and Free Man in Paris. Does anybody know which concert this is? The date is 3/7/83.

But I'm sure she has no interest in sifting through her old stuff to put such a package together so maybe we'll never see such a thing. Next time I see her I'm gonna try and convince her to put ME in charge of the project! :~) Bob NP: Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown: "Ventilator Blues" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2000 22:39:42 EST From: Relayer211@aol.com Subject: Re: cliqueish?

A case in point for me was HOSL. It was the 3rd or 4th album of Joni's I listened to about 15 years ago and at first it was sort of a let down. After Blue, C&S and LOTC, it just didn't seem to fit the mold I had formed in my head... or didn't stroke the same strings. But slowly I opened up to it and today I would usually put it at the top of the list. That process of letting an album like HOSL weave it's way into me is for me pure pleasure. I have found that over the years, other albums of Joni's have done sort of the same thing... different paths, different strings and ended in different places, but wove their way into me just the same. I think alot of it has to do with finding the real essence of what emotion joni was trying to express, and feel it the way she did. For me, it just takes time.
