Weekly Letter to Editor You may recall I posted the following a couple of weeks ago: "... in the 3/1/02 issue of Entertainment. The article is called On the Road Again about author Elizabeth Wurtzel who wrote a book called "Prozac Nation" and has now come out with another called "More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction." In reaction to the less-than-stellar reviews, it says, "She doesn't understand why the literary world gives her such a hard time for writing another autobiography. "Joni Mitchell has 20 albums about her emotional problems," she points out, "and nobody says, 'Oh my God ... can't she do anything else?'" In the 3/29/02 issue of Entertainment Weekly, there is the following Letter to the Editor: "Ms. Wurtzel's attempt to compare herself to Joni Mitchell in her use of self-referential material shows that what she might lack in self-knowledge, she makes up for in ego. It apparently has not occurred to her that the difference between her and Ms. Mitchell is that Mitchell is an artist of immeasurable talent, as both a poet and composer. Mitchell uses her experience as a backdrop, not a soapbox." Signed by N. Knox, New York City. Hats off to you, N. Knox, and to EW for having the level-headedness to print it! Happy Oscar Day!

It's called "Adventure Divas", and yes, I'll be taping that, too, in case Hell is *on* it - -- or in case she or anyone else wants to *see* it. A big stropping Kiwi Ciao, Walt ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2002 20:17:17 -0800 From: Julius Raymond Subject: Re: Jaco... the early years. Fascinating. I can't wait to have this. The notes on the website say that the cds feature "rare" interviews...at least one with Joni. I recall Joni being as impressed with Jaco the pianist as with Jaco the bassist. Who could be a better authority? Where are the piano recordings, I wonder? - -Julius - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Les Irvin" To: Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 6:48 PM Subject: Jaco... the early years. njc > Soon to be available on CD: > > > More info: http://www.jacotheearlyyears.com/ ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #84 ******************************** ------- 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?
