I will never forget Freddie Mercury doing an incredible version of Radio Ga Ga. 2) Ricky Lee Jones drunk off her rear slurring all her lyrics into an indistinguishable blur during her performance on Saturday Night Live and then collapsing into the arms of another performer as the final credits roll. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 23:26:53 EDT From: Julian51469@aol.com Subject: Stonie Mitchell Just thought I'd put my two cents worth... Yes!!! Joni is fantastic when you're stoned....and when you're making love, when you're going for a hike or a drive or a nap. Joni is great when you're in the supermarket or the skating rink. I love hearing Joni in my head when I'm alone at the bar, waiting for someone at a neutral cafe, when I've been going in circles, when I get back to the Garden, when I wonder if so and so has fixed the heater in their car, and when I look at parallel vapor trails in the sky. But most of all I love to listen to Joni when I'm cooking and washing dishes because that is when and where I first heard Ms. Mitchell back around 1974...to Court and Spark....and then every kitchen that I've ever worked in since then....If the kitchen ithe heart of a home then Joni is the heart of my kitchen. Put that in your pipe and smoke it (and take some notes so you don't forget what you saw and felt;-) Take care, Julian ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 23:29:01 EDT From: RoseMJoy@aol.com Subject: Joni Memorabilia I just started a collection in the past few years. This is what I have so far: Complete Poems and Lyrics signed by Wally Breese Signed Taming the Tiger Litho Ticket stubs from TNT taping, MSG concerts 1998 & 2000 concert Tee shirts Clouds vinyl Poster from TNT taping (that I literally tore down from the wall) BSN Program. Photographs I took I'm still waiting for my "voices" catalogue and poster There is someone on Yahoo auctions selling lots of Joni Stuff. Just type her name in the search box. Don't try to outbid me though. :~D oh and the banana peel she left at the TNT taping (just kidding Bob) LOL ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 00:35:06 EDT From: Relayer211@aol.com Subject: Joni referances in "Sleeping in Seattle" Did anyone notice the Joni referances in the Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks movie,"Sleeping in seattle"?the movie came out in 1998,or 1999,I think. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 00:49:21 EDT From: JRMCo1@aol.com Subject: Re: Painting with Words and Music - again Les of London writes: << it is with some regret that I find it very hard to like PWWAM. >> Truth be told, I found PWWAM somewhat sterile, relatively. May I suggest you avail yourself of a live video treatment, like _Shadows & Light_ if you haven't already? Or there's video out there of Joni at Woodstock doing many of the same tunes last year without the heavy-handed post-production (sorry Joan...I still love you with all my heart, but...). I'm sure Painting was absolutely transcendent if one happened to be fortunate enough to be there for the taping, mind you. I really dig the S&L video though. I'm still somewhat bitter about the fact that Joni doesn't play dulcimer and piano and acoustic guitar anymore, so maybe I'm projecting that a bit onto PWWAM. If so, apologies: my bad. It's just that I was watching the "Isle of Wight" video CD on my laptop on the ferry home from work today. It gave me chills to see and hear Joni sing and play "Woodstock" on piano. I daydreamed that if one of those mythical sirens had a voice like Joni's, this enchanted sailor would gladly set a course to go crashing into her arms. So sweet and high. She exudes a purity of soul and timeless innocense in that film that is so apropos of the song. And the sweet expressions on her face during those close-ups. Help me. I love her so. - -Julius np: Macy Gray "I Try" ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2000 #310 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list at ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
