I am taking a quick minute out to respond to this thread. (I know I owe many of you e-mails, but please be patient!) I cry at many, many songs. Beautiful music touches me from a very deep place in my soul. Noteable ones off the top of my head: Amelia- Joni Arrow- Cheryl Wheeler One Hand, One Heart- West Side Story Tell Me On a Sunday- Tell Me On a Sunday Bring Him Home- Les Miserables I'll Cover You- Rent Walls- (covered by Peter, Paul and Mary- most of their songs make me tear up anyway) If These Walls Could Speak- Jimmy Webb The Lady of Shallot- Loreena McKennit Let Her Go Down- Steeleye Span Songs that I absolutely CANNOT sit still to (and MUST crank up until my kids yell at me to "TURN IT DOOOOOOWN, MOM!!!!!!!" : Solid Love- Joni Ajde Jano- Talitha MacKenzie One Night in Bankok- Chess Thomas the Rhymer- Steeleye Span Lukey- Great Big Sea Roll With It- Steve Winwood Alane- Wes Zombie Jamboree- Rockapella Were these lists supposed to be kept at 5? Oh well.... please be kind. ;-) Hugs, Ashara www.photon.net/lightnet ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 09:16:17 EST From: Siresorrow@aol.com Subject: Re: bushy boy In a message dated 11/5/00 12:48:23 PM Eastern Standard Time, davebeth@bellatlantic.net writes: << Bush is such an ignorant,foolish,idiot.How could he actually become president? >> i'm a democrat. i struggled more with this election than any other. i did not decide how to vote until yesterday morning when i decided to vote for bush. my final analysis was from the gut not the head. when i watched al gore during the debates, he was such a turn off that i just couldn't vote for him. i have three kids and i surprised myself yesterday but i guess at the beginning of the day i found myself wondering if for any reasons, bombs started flying around the planet, would al gore have the right stuff to handle it. early on, i was for gore. i want stability in the economy and i like his social agenda. but as time wore on, bush took on the better appearance of character to me so i voted for him as the best alternative i could see because at the end of the day i guess i'm more concerned about safety and security for my family than i am about anything. but i want to say something about your post. see my wife voted for al gore. surprised the hell out of me. and last night when they gave florida to gore, she started doing this victory dance around the bedroom. whipping her wrists and going whoo hoo and all that. and i went to bed at 10:30 thining that it was over and i had voted for the wrong guy. and i said, well, thank god there are a zillion other people involved in this process and they must have seen something i missed and my judgement alone doesn't have to support all of america. and i felt really relieved knowing that the i didn't have to know everything and that i can rely on other people too, not just my own judgement. but your post, days before the election said to me, that you knew...YOU knew what was right for all america. but yet, the day after the election, all america still does not know what was right for the country. and no matter how strong your feelings are toward george bush, something like 47 million other people think differently and if that means nothing to you, it does mean something to me. patrick np. d. henley - everything is different now ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Nov 2000 09:28:39 -0500 From: "Reuben Bell" Subject: Re: maybe I'll go to Amsterdam.maybe I'll go to Rome...

Treacy" Subject: [none] ..."All Rickey Lee Jones demonstrates with this pathetically uninformed rant is how well she fits into the profile of the Clinton voter-supporter. Totally uninformed about what happened, riddled with propaganda masquerading as opinion standing on a platform provided any and all left wing leaning artists by other left wing media people. Why would someone assume that this list is the place to post the harpie rant of a lush. Rickey should go back to slurring her words on records and leave political statements to those who actually have a clue. She doesnt. Please stop posting blatantly ridiculous and stupid political rants on this discussion list. " ...I didn't anticipate such an outburst. Perhaps I should give you my dad's email; you guys might really hit it off. As far as the post being inappropriate in some way, I'll leave my apology as it stands, but I must note that Rickie Lee Jones is an often discussed topic on this list, and politics have been a thread for weeks - it fits the suit just fine. - -Chris NP:Rickie Lee "I'm A Yankee Doodle Dandy" ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Unlike Joni, I don't particularly find Christmas itself "dreary" ... but I found my own collection of Christmas music becoming so. The solution seemed simple enough -- make some of your own! That being said (are you ready for the plug?), click on over to: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/38/don_rowe.html At these prices, surely there's a stocking out there somewhere in your life in need of stuffing! At the very least, let me know what you think ... it is not without some fear and trepidation that I put myself "out there" like this in the face of the considerable artistic and musical prowess of this JMDL.

I reckon that makes me the oldest JMDLer to declare ;~) As someone who, as a contemporary of Joni's, grew up listening to her music as it evolved I've generally thought that her appeal would be to people of *our own* age group. Silly me. This thread has proved that as we all know joni's music appeals to all colours, creeds, and dare I mention political persuasions, that Joni's music is timeless and also appeals to all ages. But it just goes to show how Joni's music will stand the test of time., generations to come will still be enjoying her music long after we're all gone. From reading this thread I'm delighted how many age groups, and especially teenagers, are still finding the same kind enjoyment in Joni's lyrics as I did 30 years ago. Rose wrote <<< I'm 47 years gettin old. I saw my neurosurgeon tonight. Soon as he saw me, which he hasn't in three years, said Mrs. Joy, you never change, you always look the same. Really, I asked? What a charmer he is :~) A real ladies man>>>>>>>> Which made me think that a few years ago at the age of 45 I was still playing amateur league football, but the old legs were beginning to creak seriously, and a visit to the doc was called for. He refered me to a specialist, as they all do, and he diagnosed that I had severe arthritis through playing contact sport for so long. " But Doc," I said " I only thought old people got arthritis ?".......with a smile on his face he said " Steve, you may be only 45, but your knees are 90 !!!!!! " :~)))) So Rose, with that kind of expert logic. That makes you only 23 and a half, it's your back that's 47. It's called lateral thinking, or something. And zelda well she's only really 8, God aren't Joni's fans getting younger all the time, Britney eat your heart out. Steve.......the impossible dreamer..............wonder if Joni's ready for a toy boy ?????????? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 05:24:59 -0500 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Israel and Palestinians What's up over there? Why do the Palestinians let their children throw rocks at Israeli soldiers who KILL people for throwing rocks?? Weekly. And why on Earth do the Israelis shoot children for throwing rocks?? What's so hard about establishing a perimeter and letting kids throw rocks around the clock? It seems that there's no logic on either side. It just goes on and on. It seems that a little _thought_ process has to preceed the _peace_ process. Sheeesh. Who can educate me? Who's following this? Lama " I don't hate nothin' at all......

I'm up for anything because this is outrageous....and just as a side note.....My father looks exactly like Bush....it's pretty freaky..... And......I'm actually listenting to a very jubilant song right now: "Here COmes the Sun" - the Richie HAvens version. He gives me the goosebumps!

The doctor told him that he could either play lots of sport and develop arthritis, or do nothing and have a heart-attack from being so unfit! Some choice!
