After all, Joni's influences include figures like Miles Davis (who probably didn't even know who Bob Dylan was) and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Plus Chuck Berry and lots of '40s swing bands. Joni has said many times that upon hearing the lyrics of Positively Fourth Street she felt that popular songs could confront anything and be poetry. Obviously that was a major incentive lyrically. Musically, Joni owes nothing to anybody. Bob Dylan is great, no question. But I don't think Laura Nyro owes anything to him, or Tom Waits (who is, IMHO, a better songwriter). Or Joni Mitchell, even if Dylan gave her a necessary shove in the right direction. That's my humble opinion. Sheesh! Got that off my chest ;-) Roberto _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 06:52:44 EDT From: Kammass@aol.com Subject: Fwd: Wanna visit Joni's house?

In one scene a couple of skaters attempt to steal some vinyl and CD's from the store but are cornered by Cusack who, after seeing what they stole, says "So, what, are you slammin' to Joni Mitchell now?" (I think) I had never been able to make out what album they stole before but through the magic of DVD technology I was able to discover that it was a copy of Ladies Of The Canyon. The back cover is clearly visible when the kid pulls it out of his jacket (if you watch it in stop-frame close-up mode on a DVD player that is.)

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a great movie, and I enjoyed in thoroughly. But I couldn't help thinking ... if rock 'n roll was really thriving today, the movie couldn't have been made. There wouldn't have been any nostalgic value for the film to trade in on. Which to me, seemed to mean that, R&R must really be dead this time -- since we were all able to remember "those days" so fondly. Of course, we all know that's not really true (Tom Petty's still alive), and since Stevie's new release charted #5 in it's debut week ... I guess there's hope. But did anybody else feel that was about the movie? Just curious ... Don Rowe ===== Visit me anytime at http://www.mp3.com/donrowe Yahoo!

Then a few years go by, and now he's 15 and touring with the band. It does begin before the release of Blue, but I like the explanation (who was it said that?) about the possibility of the different classic albums the kid is flipping through kind of being symbolic of the passage of time. - --- blonde in the bleachers wrote: > Almost Famous took place in 1973, it says it on the > bus. > > > >From: Mark Domyancich > >Reply-To: Mark Domyancich > >To: JMDL > >Subject: Another "Almost Famous" Thread > >Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 20:01:25 -0500 > > > >Hey guys, > > > >This might have been mentioned when "Almost Famous" > was all the talk on > >this > >list.

There was the glass of wine, the blue TV screen light and there was even the cartoon coaster on the bar. When she showed the painting here in L.A. I peered at that coaster on three different occasions, trying to discern what she scribbled on it. Straight on it looked like a rudimentary fence with a long-stemmed rose doodled off to one side. My old friend Sue came into town tonight to visit for a few days. She is the one I've mentioned who introduced me to Joni's music (the cover versions) back in '66. I unfurled my set of BSN lithos for her tonight and she immediately said "there's the map of Canada on the cartoon coaster." I said "where???" So she turned the litho upside down and sure enough there are all the Canadian provinces outlined. I asked how she figured that out and she said "well, you have to look at it from the angle Joni was drawing it." Well, duh! I don't know if anyone else has noticed the map but thought this was cool and was glad Joni completed all the necessary detail in the painting. ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2001 #153 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
