BS: I think She's amazing too. I listen a lot to her. But she's not like my favorite singer. I suppose what it is, as I feel she's fairly cold as an actual person. Maybe, she's not really, perhaps that's the side of her she needs to write about. It's like when I'm down I need to write out those times. Whereas there's a whole lot of other sides to me that hardly come out. Maybe, it's unfair to say that, you just write what you have to write out of you. She's very educated, her command of language is very, very great. It's like she never uses the same word twice, see what I mean. she must have read an awful lot. http://www.bridgetstjohn.f2s.com/press.htm Victor Johnson http://www.cdbaby.com/victorjohnson "Velveteen rabbits and moonbeams, Come when you lay down your head.

If you click on the link, there's a photo, too. TORONTO (CP) - Margaret Atwood and Joni Mitchell have become the latest additions to the Canadian Walk of Fame, taking their places in a concrete pantheon of homegrown international stars. The novelist and the singer unveiled their monuments Friday on the King Street West sidewalk along a row of immortalized hockey players, rock stars and actors in the heart of the downtown theatre district. Mitchell, who was a 2000 inductee, couldn't attend an unveiling until now. "For my star I hope if you're crossing over it, since the world is moving so fast and has gone so mad, that you would slow down a little and think of something funny or something kind, think of someone you love," Mitchell said. "I prefer you don't spit there - curb your dog elsewhere. And just use it as a little contemplative place, sit there and have a private chuckle, and that would make me very happy, that would make it practical and useful." Accepting a granite and brass statuette that accompanies the concrete star, Atwood thanked the Walk of Fame organization. "We have a kind of running contest going on as to which award makes the best murder weapon - this wins," she quipped, gripping the hefty award. Atwood said she's pleased the organization, which has already laid 49 of the commemorative sidewalk stars, chose to recognize a fiction writer. "It's the first time that they have elected to bestow it on a novelist," she said in an interview Wednesday. "Pierre Berton is the only other writer. So I'm hoping that it will encourage them to think in the direction of writers because when you think of Canadians who get around the world, a lot of them get around the world in the form of their books." The year's inductees also included sports heroes Jean Beliveau, Kurt Browning, Ferguson Jenkins and the late Harry Jerome, Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak, legendary rock band the Guess Who, actor Leslie Nielsen, polka king Walter Ostanek, ballerina Veronica Tennant, opera singer Teresa Stratas, Quebec filmmaker Robert Lepage and director Ivan Reitman. "These are all people who have gone out on a limb and whose families probably all thought they were berserk," Atwood said. "The fact that we (Canada's population) are so small makes it the more remarkable that we continue to turn out people who do well in a number of different areas. "It is something for people who really are among the most entrepreneurial people there are, that is they start with nothing but their talent, whatever it may be." With customary dry humour, Atwood said she is quite content with a permanent place underfoot. "Look at it from my point of view - the parks are all used up," she said. "I'm not going to get a park when I croak. So I'll have couple of inches of cement." To qualify for a star on the walk, nominees must have been either born in Canada or have spent their formative years here, enjoyed a minimum of 10 years of success and have "a body of work recognized for its impact on our cultural heritage." Unlike the original sidewalk squares in Hollywood, the Walk of Fame plaques display not a star but a stylized maple leaf and signature of the celebrity. - ----------------------------------- Deb Messling =^..^= - ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 09:23:52 EDT From: Relayer211@aol.com Subject: Songs with "Fuck" in the lyrics I've been wondering what the first song was that had the word "Fuck" in it.

Mitchell, who was honored alongside Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood, received a key to the city, a granite-based trophy and a granite star on the sidewalk in Toronto's theater district on King Street West. "I'm not certain what committee or voting system brought me to this podium, but I'm very honored," she said. "I didn't have to pay for this star on the sidewalk. They buy them in Hollywood. This is not corrupt, so I'm very honored for that." As a couple of hundred people assembled outside the cordoned-off section in front of the Royal Alex Theatre to view the noontime event, bagpiping brothers Rob and Sandy Campell of rock band Mudmen opened the proceedings. Mitchell and Atwood took seats on the makeshift stage, then the emcee asked for a minute of silence to honor those who perished in the September 11th tragedy. The bagpipers continued with "Amazing Grace," after which Camilla Scott, star of the ABBA musical Mama Mia at the Royal Alex, sang both the American and Canadian national anthems. Although Mitchell was born in Fort McLeod, moved to Toronto in 1965 and began performing in coffeehouses and folk clubs there, she is now based in the U.S. She has had an illustrious career, starting with her David Crosby-produced Songs to a Seagull debut in 1968 to last year's Both Sides Now collection, with an output to date of twenty-one albums. She is also an accomplished painter whose work has enhanced her own album covers. "What does it open?" Mitchell asked when Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman presented her the key. "It opens the hearts of all the people of Toronto, and it is given on behalf of all the people of Toronto," he responded. In the seated area for VIPs sat Mitchell's husband, daughter, grandchildren and manager, as well as Canadian film directors Norman Jewison and David Croenenberg. "It's a warm support group," Mitchell later told the press. In the second part of the ceremony, she was given a star trophy she could actually take home, prior to the unveiling of the permanent star on the sidewalk. "For my star, I hope if you're crossing over it, since the world is moving so fast and has gone so mad, that you would slow down a little bit as you would cross over it, think of something funny or something kind -- think of someone you love," Mitchell said. "If you're thinking of someone that you don't love as you're crossing over it, put them out of mind . . . Just use it as a little contemplative place. Sit there and have a private chuckle, and that would make me very happy. That would make it practical and useful." Mitchell and Atwood were then asked to step over to the sidewalk where they removed the white plastic coverings over their stars, and posted for picture crouching down. Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning" was played over the speakers at the close of the half-hour ceremony. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 07:52:09 -0700 From: "gene mock" Subject: joni's "start award" found this interesting from joni about her "star award"; "For my star, I hope if you're crossing over it, since the world is moving so fast and has gone so mad, that you would slow down a little bit as you would cross over it, think of something funny or something kind -- think of someone you love," Mitchell said.

The evening is planned to coincide with Mitchells birthday (November 7) and is an acknowledgment of her inclusion as one of 14 artists recently honored at the World Leaders: A Festival of Creative Genius in Toronto Canada. The proceeds from the Santa Barbara show will be donated to the Red Cross Liberty Disaster Relief Fund. Over the past few years, Bennett has been in contact with musicians from around the world who cite Joni Mitchell as a major influence. Bennett and her husband, Jeff Bisch, recently attended a three-day festival (called Jonifest) near Boston where they met & played with other Mitchell-influenced musicians from all over the United States as well as Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and South America. It was a weekend full of music for the pure joy of singing and playing, sharing songs and collaboration, Bennett remarked. I wanted to bring some of that experience home to Santa Barbara and to get some of my musician friends together for the same reasons. Everyone I contacted was so excited at the idea of performing Joni Mitchells songs! Many of us are out there playing and making some kind of career for ourselves through our music. This is an opportunity to do it in honor of someone who has had such a major influence on the art & craft of songwriting. Joni Mitchell is widely regarded as one of the most significant artists of her generation and there are many well known songwriters who cite Joni Mitchell as a major influence. The Santa Barbara Tribute to Joni Mitchell will include performances by Michael Adcock & some of his band (The Grateful Dads), Kate Bennett, Craig Stuart & Kasey Lloyd, Jack Lee, John Mooy, Donna OConnor, Tammy Gillispie & Mark LaCommare, Doug Ingoldsby, Pam Johnson, Delilah Poupore & Antara Blasius, Heather Stevenson, and Jennifer Terran. Over the years, Joni Mitchell has been showered with accolades, including multiple Grammys, a Governor Generals Performing Arts Award, Rolling Stone s Artist of the Year, Billboard Magazines Century Award, and in 1997 she was the first Canadian woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One critic raved, "When all the dust settles, Joni Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential recording artist of the late 20th century." The Joni Mitchell Homage took place on October 19 in Toronto. Emphasizing that the true world leaders of today are creative artists, the 14 honorees were selected due to their revolutionary life-long work and for pioneering a new vocabulary in creativity so significant that they have changed the face of world culture.

She explained it all succinctly pointing to the robe and saying: "This is not about Islam; this is about oppression." Pointing to the American flag she said, "This is not about politics; this is about liberty."

I love to hear them all.. . The lights go dim...a hush moves across the crowd like a magical, mystical fog rolling in .... and we know that there is a large group of people headed for the front of our side of the stage and suddenly, there she is. Joni. Cheers, applause, shouts, gasps....everyone focusing their energy and love upon her. What a moment for her. She is so very loved. It is obvious as the audience stands up and gives her a well deserved ovation which lasted for quite some time. I will touch ever so briefly upon the beginning of the evening for now with just a quick mention of the amazing and gifted Rebecca Jenkins who was absolutely brilliant .. she performed heart wrenching, soul gripping interpretations of Blue and Two Grey Rooms which made us cry..and Joni stood up at the end of Blue and gave Rebecca a very exuberant standing ovation of her own. if only I could take you there...let me try....... imagine....... ....Joni sitting on stage sharing stories ...she is absolutely beautiful, radian, magnificent.... Joni speaks to us in rivers. Her brilliant stream of consciousnesss talk talk and more talk when all of a sudden there is mention of Joni doing something and she gives us a choice....piano or the demo tapes....and Polifka, beside me hollers PIANO!!!!!!!!!! as did Stephen Epstein... and omggggggggg she stood up and walked toward a grand piano on the side of the stage right where Stephen, Ashara, Sal, Jimmy, Rick and Jim Johansen were sitting! I thought I would burst. Joni seemed a little shy or hesitant at first...she told us her piano chops were a bit rusty or something like that....and as we all sat there collectively holding our breath....already overwhelmed with her very presence....she walked over to the piano like she was going home to an old friend who had been patiently waiting for her, knowing that one day she would return. And return she did. Through the touch of Joni's hands, we were transformed. If I could only find the words...if you were there, you would understand how difficult it is to explain...unplanned... she created her shapes and colours which I am certain came from deep within her. Joni at the piano...something I thought I would never see...and a wonderful gift for Brian because it was so much a part of his heart's desire to see Joni play piano just one more time. That was so special for me, knowing that one of his dreams had come true. Joni's voice is in fine form. Incredible. Images of the bits and pieces that she sang are swirling around in my mind. The passion she exudes with each note..her whole body sings. Truly incredible. A moment in time. Thank you Joni, again and again. Because of you, Brian and I are. love and hugs to all with a promise for more. I still need to talk about the Thursday night lecture/video...the lecturer Rob Bowman was my music prof at York University in Toronto...a vibrant, incredibly passionate person whose warmth eminates in such a way that he takes time to listen as well as share his indepth knowledge of Joni. He has such a deep respect for Joni and her music and from what Jimmy told me, he went into such depth and expressed so much in such a short time. Wondering if we can get a hold of the tape that was running that night. I will try to reach Rob by email and let you all know. and the videos were incredible...I especially loved Two Grey Rooms. Tired again, still, and yet so filled with all the glorious images of Joni which we are holding close to our hearts. In this moment I know that this was one of the most precious, special evenings I have ever been a part of. always, Mags and Brian npimh: the voices of all of our wonderful list family gathered round the table at dinner tonight. - -- And this loving is a drawing close, a tuning in, an opening. Until one perfect moment; but how can it be expressed? A receiving, an enfolding as I cradle you in my arms. Within my heart, within my soul, You are my true love. --Lui Collins - --- _~O / /\_, ___/\ /_ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 00:32:21 EDT From: Bobsart48@aol.com Subject: Re: Embarassing Attractions Bob M wrote (a while back) "And I agree that Lakota is a much better song when it's freed from the slings and arrows of outrageous 80's production! ;~)" Good, I think it is a very artistic song !
