But she agreed to act after being asked to simply compose music. Although it was originally titled "Original Sin," so who knows?

Bobby Z. refused to be interviewed for the documentary-- which can be interpreted in a number of ways. But there was a tongue in cheek element to Dylan's initial populist-Rambling persona, I believe, which might make it seem to be less of a rip off....?

I wonder how the Dylan List views it. :) >All the best, >Jim L'Hommedieu ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 15:16:45 GMT From: "c Karma" Subject: re: Chaka as Genghis I was seated four rows from the rear of the "house" for Joni's Jazz next to the soundboard. Chaka was in Central Park but she was playing to Battery Park. She was a virtual hurricane, but boy did she make her songs IMPORTANT! Whether or not you agree with or appreciate her interpretation, you can't doubt that she holds nothing back when she performs (like Little Richard, she gives it ALL to you!) and artists who can do that consistently are tops in my book. I really liked the propulsion she gave to "Hejira." It was the first live performance of the song I'd heard ("Shadows and Light" tour INCLUDED! -- HERESY!) to do the song's fast tempo justice. Joni's orchestral version on the BSN tour, in my mind was even more successful in this regard while staying safely accessible. I don't fault Chaka for applying her idiom, in fact I congratulate her for it. You go girl. CC "I am not some stone commission like a statue in a park." -- JM PS. Toshi Reagon and Erin Hamilton did fine work at Joni's Jazz, too. I wish Eric Anderson would work with T-Bone Burnett and come back with a vengance! _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

My daughter is singing Chelsea Morning at high school POPS three nights early November but we are unable to get the sheet music. I ordered the complete Joni Mitchell songbook and the sheet music for Chelsea Morning in mid July but it is on back order. Can anyone assist? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 10:47:13 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: "The Politics of Cancer" Mags said, "Medicine is very political." Then I got this message on another list I am on. I haven't read the book, just passing on the information : "If you want an alternative view point on our epidemic of cancer, get the book "The Politics of Cancer" written by Samuel S. Epstein M.D., a world-cancer-expert. It's a real eye opener. Over 800 pages explaining known cancer causing agents that are put into cosmetics , he lists all the harmful ingredients and I dutifully threw out most of the cosmetics and lotions I was using, X-Rays and why you have to be careful and make sure the machines have been calibrated because alot of times we are getting 3x the dose needed, to Mammography and the drug industry forcing tomoxifen down women's throats to name a only a few. He also reprimands the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society. Stating that they have been misled and the ACS is the worst out of all the charities for paying the administrators high saleries and hiring many more volunteers. You can't believe everything you read however it's hard to find any liturature out there on cancer that is of the investigative nature. A lot of what he says makes sense. I highly recommend it." ******************************************** Kate Bennett featured this month at Taylor Guitars www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/ www.katebennett.com www.cdbaby.com/katebennett www.amazon.com ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 13:45:43 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Apples, Cheeses and Liebfraumilch - --- Michael Paz wrote: > > (Psst, I like the big boo-hoo, so what do I know?) > > > I always loved that line too.

Theater Center began previews of a revue type show that featured 5 singers (3 women and 2 men) performing the songs of Joni Mitchell with a five piece band. The most well known of the singers was 2 time Tony winner Hinton Battle. Calling itself "The Joni Mitchell Project" the Jacques Brel style show was directed by David Schweizer and played for three months at L.A.T.C. Joni's then manager Barry Krost was a member of the Theater Center board of trustees. A few days after the official opening on November 1, Joni herself showed up for the show and was persuaded to sing a new song. Joni told Musician magazine about her visit to LATC: "I went to hear the Joni Mitchell Project, this revue that did some of my songs. They called me up and I did "Cherokee Louise" acapella, dancing to keep the groove. I'm coming up on the rape scene and I'm, like, highly mirthful. But it came off because people get feelings from it. Every time you sing it you don't relive it."
