Today I ran across an interesting perspective on Dog Eat Dog by the music critic for the Rocky Mountain News, one Mark Brown. He wrote a column lamenting how great music sometimes ends up in music store discount bins selling for peanuts. To wit: <<...Often the bins are so full because the record companies had such high hopes. The $1.99 Joni Mitchell CD was actually one of a bunch of cutouts, brand-new and unopened, enthusiastically pressed in large quantities by Geffen Records in 1986 when the label realized Mitchell had hit another artistic height. But sadly, no one listened. So here they are - a bunch of overlooked works of brilliance, all of which you can easily pick up for $5 or less in used CD bins. When you're looking around for something to buy, give one of these a shot. You can always sell it back. * Joni Mitchell, Dog Eat Dog: Her surprisingly accessible 1986 epic is worth full price just for the exquisite title track, chronicling the rise of the dirtball nation and, as she sings, "the land of snap decisions, the land of short attention spans" and "whitewashed hawks who peddle hate and call it love." Her take on society, justice, the media and more seems all the more prophetic when you realize it was written before O.J., before Survivor, before Dubya...>> He makes an excellent point, I think. DED has turned out to manifest more of Joni's gift for prophecy. I think of the way she wrote "Woodstock" as an early example of that phenomenon. Many of her songs have a touch of that magic. Those images from DED seem to be spot on in terms of what's going on these days. DED has got to be Joni's most underrated disc, don't ya'll agree? - -Julius np: Rainman, the movie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 09:54:19 -0500 From: Anne Sandstrom Subject: great line! Harper Lou, your post where you state: "Her mouth could make a smile, but the rest of her face didn't know how to wear it" reminds me of an old urban legend about Nashville. Lots of songwriters are sitting around a bar. Someone utters a great line and the bar immediately clears out as everyone scurries to write a song with the line in it. You'd best go and copyright that line - I daresay that all us songwriters on the list are itching to wrap a song around it! lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 09:20:38 -0600 From: "J.David Sapp" Subject: Just Ice There are 3 skaters on a Lake Placid rink circling in singles and in pairs.

That's > good karma. [...] I recently picked up a HDCD version of Song to a Seagull, and compared it to my original CD (purchased a few years ago). I could not tell any difference. I will admit that the high-end frequency response of my 58-year-old ears is not very good, but I'm normally pretty fussy about sound reproduction and can pick out noise and distortion well. I don't know how anyone abides MP3's, for example. The few I've downloaded off the 'net sounded horrible. One other point, besides the remastering issues: to get the benefits of HDCD playback, you have to have CD player that incorporates a special chip to decode it. They seem to be quite rare, according to the list on the chip maker's website. I've never seen (or heard) one. Bottom line for me is that while replacing Joni vinyl with new HDCD's may be warranted, replacing your original CD's is not.

In HMV in Oxford Street today, I was browsing the Joni section and a girl was there talking to two of the staff. Being the nosy person that I am (look I can't help it) I gleaned that she seemed to be looking for a particular track on an album and was amazed that there were so many - so I asked. She replied that it was a song about not needing a piece of paper . . . . My hand shot straight to Blue, and I said "My Old Man" is the track you want. The two staff members looked suitably impressed, and the young lady in question said "Thank you *so* much, I love you" (I'll pass out the airline barf bags in a moment). As a consequence, I just had to buy two of the three albums that I do not possess (S&L & MOA) the other that I don't have is "Misses".

There are 16 admissions to our Seattle trauma center 4 critical and 12 less serious. Most damage is in the older parts of town.

It was 7.0 on the Richter scale and could be felt from Oregon almost up to Alaska, with the centre being just north of Olympia, WA. I live on the 7th floor, and the whole building was swaying and glass rattling for almost 30 seconds. No damage of note in the Vancouver area- some power and phone lines out. In Seattle, there are reports of broken glass and in the Pioneer Square area, some of the older brick buildings have crumbled. Starbucks head office has crumbled, 19 people injured, 4 critical, balance not bad. SeaTac Airport is closed- there may be some damage to the Tower. Last time a quake of this magnitude hit the Pacific Northwest was in 1949!

Mark, check in with us if you can to > let us know you're all right. I just got home from work. I'm still fighting a funky virus so I only worked half a day today. I can't add much to what Travis reported. It was pretty scary on the sixth floor of my building on the Seattle waterfront. We were rockin' & rollin' for several minutes. I found out just how cramped the space under my desk is but I managed to fit into it. A couple of large file cabinets toppled over on my floor. They herded us outside after the quake was over until they could check the building to make sure it was safe. Luckily it's a fairly new office building so it's built to withstand earthquakes. Latest reports are 7.0. Epicenter was about 15 miles northeast of Olympia Washington which is south of us. Epicenter was about 30 miles deep so we were probably lucky in that respect. Sea-Tac airport is closed. Most of the damage seems to be in the Olympia area. Catherine T., Neil and whoever else is in the Puget Sound area, let us hear from you. Penny, did you feel it down in Vancouver? Thanks to all for your concern. We're fine, not so much as a picture down from the walls or a book toppled from a shelf.

Ive always been lead to believe that Neil Youngs song Stupid Girl was directed at Joni Mitchell. Hinton, in his biography of Joni, says this is supposedly the case and Im sure Ive read it elsewhere too. Does anyone know where this story came from and is it really true? Has Neil Young actually said anywhere that she was the inspiration behind the song? Hinton says something about her lifestyle and makes the comment that verse two, with its reference to a beautiful fish floppin on the summer sand, sounds like a response to the photograph of Joni on the cover of HOSL. But didnt Zuma and HOSL come out almost at the same time in 1975, surely too close together for this to be the case? And anyway, isnt HOSL making some far from stupid comments on the affluent California lifestyle? Any thoughts?

Hey Mark! Darn tootin' we felt it! Funny as hell! I had my husband working with me today (I'm a drywall contractor), and when it hit he was literally in a closet, with two approx 5 ft high doorways between where he was and the way down the stairs and out of the house. I felt it starting and shouted "Earthquake - get outside!" (The house I'm working in is out in the country so nothing could have fallen on us outside.) Anyway, after giving the shout, I bolted outside not knowing how severe the thing was going to be. Six foot tall Rick makes it out about 15 seconds after me with a panicked look on his face. By then the quake was just about over down here in the Portland area. I turn on the radio in our car parked outside, because the main thing I wanted to know was where was the epicenter. Not 30 seconds after the quake was over, the KINK DJ comes on and says something like "Boy howdy - wasn't that fun!" and starts playing I Feel The Earth Move while starting to gather quake details. Rick and I start busting up laughing, not from the DJ's selection, but because Rick said he nearly knocked himself unconscience twice getting out from where he had been working and then realised he could have easily done a facial into a wall at the bottom of the stairs by taking 4 stairs at a time on way to the first story - this was after getting banged around in the small closet when we first started rattling. I know I shouldn't laugh, but his panic is sooo much of a different response that I always have to earthquakes with is "Wow, cool! An earthquake." And quickly followed by "I hope we're near the epicenter" (so damage isn't massive somewhere else.) Catherine, your post - ROTFLMAO! Thanks for everyones concern for us Pac NWers!
