As a southern boy in the US, it's nice to see someone else using "y'all"! As for People's Parties, it's not old ground here at all. In fact, it seems like no matter how many times we've looked at & examined Joni's songs, a new voice will bring a new perspective, so your thoughts and questions should be greeted with open arms... Like Mike said, Joni sings "Jack behind his joker & stone-cold Grace behind her fan", and it has been suggested that Joni's referring to Jack Nicholson and Grace Slick, but I've never seen that substantiated, even though it makes sense. She does introduce the song in a couple of her 1974 shows by talking about going to a party and being surrounded by superficiality...see-through white wine, see-through glass tables, and see-through people. I think she was just expressing her discomfort with the pretentiousness of it all. Again, welcome, and keep those posts coming!

Let's see - I've got a kind of cruddy basement; I have a backyard which could possibly accomodate a few TENTS for those of you (not me!) who enjoy that kind of thing. I'm the kind of person who practically goes into shock just *thinking* about having a few people over to dinner - you'd have to have paramedics on standby for the mere thought of 100 houseguests (I'm sure the neighbours would love it, ha ha.) I don't know about you, but I'd kind of like to understand a bit more about just what exactly these people are going to do. Is Joni going to talk, or sing? or is it going to be a bunch of boring celebrities yakking about her and showing videos and stuff? I don't know about forking about $175 if I don't even get near Joni (and if I did, I'd probably faint anyway!) For $175, I'd like to sit on her lap or something...

Like they really need the money! $25k is a fair chunk to a working person like me, but it's not much to most celebrities. Is it meant to be a grant? Are they supposed to use it for a specific purpose (there's usually some kind of catch to this, isnt' there?) Let's see; Joni could use it to buy art supplies to paint pictures which Peter Gabriel could buy; Issey Miyake could use it to buy lovely materials for new gowns, which Joni could buy; Peter Gabriel would use it for... what, exactly? And so on... I suppose I'm being cynical, but don't you wonder why they chose these particular people? i'm not even going to argue who's a genius and who's not; to me that's not the issue. But I wonder what their criteria were in determining who'd be honoured? As a Canadian, I can safely say that it would be *very* Canadian to honour other Canadians - but that's not the case here - the honorees are a pretty international bunch. I wonder if Harbourfront (which gets gov't grants) is worried about running out of $ and thought this one up to make some more cash (spend a whole bunch, but earn back even more - in theory?) I dunno - I find it kind of weird, to tell the truth.

I think an importnat difference for me is that Joni employs melody alot more than Dylan. For instance there is the classic story when Joni and Bob had both just completed their new albums in a 3-4 month period. (Bob's "Planet Waves" and Joni's "Court and SPark") Well, in Joni's Opinion Bob's album was good, but not as good as everyone had thought it was. (people remarked that it was a 'return to form' etc etc). Everyone was in the studio, at this one moment, (including bob) and they were listening to Court and Spark as it had just been finished. Joni told us how the men in the control booth just feel asleep before the album was over, (including bob). People sometimes look at Dylan as this really masculine hero and some Dylan fans have dismissed Joni as "not-as-worhty" because she lacked the rawness and energy that Dylan had. but, what they don't realize that JOni's Melodys in combination with her wonderful lyrical sensibilty and truthfullness are RAW and ENErgetic, but not in Dylan's sense, they are Emotionally RAW and ENERGETIC, for many on the list would agree that they get some charge of spirit or mind when deluged with her music. That is my skewed opininon. I know I don't have the clearest thinking on this list and tend to ramble, But i hope some people understand what I am trying to say.

I can't imagine Slick as "stone cold" (stoned, maybe) or hiding behind a fan. But Grace Jones is very stately looking and could come across as cold; and the fan thing - sounds like something a fashion model might do. On the other hand, maybe it's some Grace none of us know. Or maybe it's just a made-up name for some other person.

Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water and have both lids lifted. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for anything they can find. The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet. The cat is actually enjoying this. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash" and "rinse" which I have found to be quite effective. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.

I expanded it a bit from it's original form (those of you who read the original are all rolling your eyes in disbelief as you read this, I'm sure.) It doesn't contain anything earth-shattering or amazingly original but it does discuss all of Joni's records in chronological order and attempts to show how she evolved artistically from STAS up through BSN. Since I'm not a musician, I couldn't be too precise or technical. But I've always wanted to write something like this and I put my heart & head into it and thanks to Les it isn't going to just take up space on our hard drive (sit in a loft up in some room somewhere?) It's mostly just my thoughts about each album and how each one built on what had come before it. I also made some attempt to fit the records into Joni's personal life where it seemed appropriate to do so. The piece is called 'Joni Mitchell: A Work in Progress (a fan's perspective)' (Sheesh, can't he even be brief with the title, fercrissake?!) Thanks again, Les, for doing me the honor!

I'm dying to read it. Just the idea alone is wonderful. Thanks for doing it, for putting yourself out there as a writer about Joni. I'll bet you get more than one compliment.

I had always imagined that "Jack" was Jack Cassidy, bassist for Jefferson Airplane. But what the hell do I know. Grace Jones-was she even around in '74?
