On August 11 in Joni Mitchell History:

1973: Rolling Stone's Random Notes page noted a few weeks after the fact: "It was quite a treat for the fortunate few who squeezed in: Joni, Neil Young, and the Eagles performed two shows tonight and tomorrow night at the Topanga Canyon Corral, a tiny club in the L.A. canyon.  Admission was $4, all for the benefit of an anti-condominium movement in Topanga."

i wish i could be like you then surely the only thing  i'd worry about was the use of the word "fuck" in our list and my spelling.
but i'm not you. i speak and write broken english. i live in a place that forces me to be angry.
the situation in israel is not "my personal problem".
the people here, jews and arabs, are not rock'n'roll stars - so it's easy to understand why you find no interest in them shane.

From: "shane mattison" <cactussong@home.com>
Subject: my's opinion of the heart healer

i laid back on the passion play discussion because others seemed to be
covering all the bases...
for its only my opinion and i guess i run the risk of being called
old-fashioned, but what the heck, joni said she's old-fashioned too about some
things...
  well, here goes...in the prophets books of the Old Testament, there are many
references to a future messiah, some like in isaiah 53 speak of his suffering
rejection, and david in psalm 22 of being pierced in his hands and feet while
beneath they gamble for his clothes...both of these sections then speak of his
being honoured after his death and that he would see the nations coming to
give him
worship...
  but the passage i find even more interesting is the prophet zechariah...God
says in this passage that some day in the far future Israel shall...
"and they shall look upon me who they have pierced, and they shall mourn for
him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as
one that is in bitterness for his firstborn..." (12:10...the change in
pronouns is correct)
so i feel like c.s.lewis did...these, and there are many more, prophecies were
written hundreds of years before the life of Christ...
that's why he said "Before Abraham was, I am..." as c.s. lewis pointed out,
and these men who wrote these things were all martyred...being honest was
slightly important to them, if jesus made these statements, then either he is
God or a madman...again, the honour of the apostles lives were at stake...that
is to not make up fables...we are confronted with a great quest...if he is the
former, then no man can lay claim to what he is...
and then like an old blues player said in calgary to me, i think it was
pinetop perkins,..".i sure nuff ain't followed the Lord very well.. ..no
siree..."
now i go scurry off with pinetop...

Subject: mommy dearest

she said "snap out of it!" (face lift).
is'nt this one a great line? a mother who sees her daughter caught in a sort of a lover's nightmare or some hipnotic horror movie for so many years tries to wake her up by nearly an old witch's command "snap out of it!". this one and "you've seen too many movies, joni" - which tops every critique ever written by a proffesional - are a wonderful contrast to the convoluted words by joni, and they're something very healthy - sad but true - that only a mother can use in order to let in some fresh air and cut off the noose around her daughter's throat.
it's like joni says to us "you know, folks, i've put you all under the spell of my blue for so many years and have'nt really done anything to release you from it, so i'd just like to let you know what my mother's done for you and me".
there should always be a myrtle line on every joni album, that's what i say! like - "oh you make evrything i dread and everything i fear come true" - myrtle: "knock it off!" - or - "no mercy sweet jesus no mercy from turbulent indigo" - myrtle: "i think we've had enough of it!".
i just love that woman.

Subject: Turbulent Indigo - LONG

From the liner notes to "Van Gogh Face to Face - A Portrait In Music":
My ambition, Vincent wrote to his brother Theo in 1883, is in spite of
everything, founded less on anger than on love, more on serenity than on
passion.  It is true that I am often in the greatest misery, but there
is a calm in harmony and music inside of me.
He went so far as to try to establish a direct relationship between
color and music - and even took piano lessons, crying out Prussian Blue!
or Chrome Yellow! as he struck each chord.

Vincent and Theo went to several concerts in those earlly days and were
particularly fond of Wagner's music.  Later, after reading a book on the
composer, van Gogh noted, I feel the relation between our color and
Wagner's music...In a picture I want to say something comforting in a
way that music is comforting.  In the end we shall have had enough of
cynicism and skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more
musically...By intensifying all the colors, one arrives again at
quietude and harmony...
He wrote, We painters are always asked to 'compose' ourselves and be
nothing but composers...in the music it isn't like that, and if some
person or other plays Beethoven, he adds his personal interpretation ;
in music and especially singing, the interpretation of a composer is
something, and it is not a hard and fast rule that only a composer
should play his own composition.

We recently saw "Pollack" and in the film, Jackson is at a society party
on New Year's Eve and pisses in the fireplace.

Subject: The Middle East

For the last nearly six years I have participated in the JMDL and there have 
been many poltiical issues discussed. The one characteristic of all of them 
has been for one side to totally ignore facts and history preferring to 
insert nonsense, mythology, and fabricated emotional interpretations of same 
for actual well researched discussion. As such I suggest that this entire 
Middle east discussion be terminated forthwith. It can only lead to a 
senseless flame war. It takes knowledge to discuss this not balderdash and 
bullshit. When I see some of the statements made already and the immediate 
resorting to words like "racist" that is a sign that few on the list are 
prepared to actually discuss the issue.  So lets forget the whole idea.

I haev a great book around here somewhere on the old testament prophets and
love reading about them.  I have no problem personally accepting that he was
both man and God but many people do not for their own reasons.  Some believe
the old testament prophets concerning the Messiah but do not think he has
yet come.  Some believe he will come again.  Some believe Jesus was a great
prophet and holy man who was very close to God.  As someone who comes from a
multi-denominational family background, I have always felt that an
individual's religious beliefs, whatever they are, should be respected.
Beyond that I don't want to raise up any embers here by making these
comments.

and peace and compassion and love. I have never been able to accpet him as God. If
he was God then the whole story falls on it's arse. How could we ever hope to
follow in the footsteps of God? Apart form that, if he were God, he had total
power. the idea of the story, as far as I see it, is that he was a man who
realised not just that he was divine but that we all were, and that death was not
the ned, and that if we sought the divine spark in each of us we could overcome
anything. He set us an example of what Man could do once he recognized his power
source. If he was God, then it was a load of nonsense.

They also fail to accept that it is but their own interpretation and not TRUTH.
Thos who say the the Bible is the Absolute Truth and have total faith in their OWN
judgement  and not God or the Bible, just in themselves. A sin, as jesus would

I like what you have to say here Kakki and I would respectfully like to add that
some people think that Jesus was a nice Jewish boy with a lot of radical ideas.
I am serious...this is not meant to be disrespectful whatsoever.


Thinking about seeing Valdy and David Bradstreet and Brent Titcombe at the
Festival of Friends (big Folk Fest thing here in town) tomorrow, part of which I
caught tonight...saw Tom Wilson, Fred Eaglesmith, some funkay drummer dudes ,
tried out a Didjerdoo...sp???? ...yea really!!!! and I made sound..not just
noise..omg...  Went with my daughter which was really special since we've been
struggling with some things of late and actually had a good time together....and
on the way home, we sang along to the CSNY tape that Brei made for me...which
was tonnes of funn.....that girl and I always did a fine harmony together..and
it was heart warming to say the very least to connect with her like that again

Mags...yep...Jesus was one of our boys.  He was a faithful Jewish
boy...even though the Presbyterians may claim him...he does not
care...he has enough love to go around. Again, I believe Jesus is all
about diversity...because you can only strive for and appreciate
diversity when you have a heavy load of love crowding your heart.

Peace......Sharon

Jesus certainly didn't call *himself* a Christian, did he?

The only thing Jesus said he was not was a money changer.  LOL

I have many Jewish friends and family who think the same. Absolutely no
offense taken!

I was fine, until he got to the "left-handed" part - I
don't know about that left-handed stuff - kinda spooky
(it's a joke, OK?  Many of my friends are
left-handed...)

LOL!  Left-handers are the only ones in their right minds, doncha know?

dear mama ashes, dear daddy les, dear girls and boys,

can you feel it in the air?
can you feel the huge vibe?

this year is so different. it's the biggest ever. i can see us all coming
from all compass points.

we're talking about cooking together, singing together, playing scrabble
together. the fest has grown into a back-home experience! i have discussed
this with many 2001 fest-goers, and everyone has told me the same: there's
something in the air this year that wasn't there the years before, splendid
and fun as the previous fests have all been.

some of us are a little heartbroken, some of us are starting a new love;
some of us are facing health problems, some of us have never felt better;
some of us are happy, some of us are blue; some of us are all of the above.

as you make your reservations, as you send your forms and checks, picture
this huge community of love and beauty trying so hard to make it, converging
into a celebration of friendship, understanding, generosity: everything that
is good on earth. it is a kind of wacky christmas: we are all compelled to
share, to learn, to give again. good will to humanity, indeed.

this year's jonifest in new england will be remembered by each one of us as
the fest where THAT special thing happened, whatever that special thing is
for each one of us.

i have so many brothers and sisters, parent figures, lovers and friends to
go back to this year.

i wish the same for all of you!

''and i feel like i'm just being born, like a shiny light breaking in a
storm
there are so many reasons why i love you!''
