The first song that comes to mind is Night Ride Home (especially after seeing Joni's video). Driving at sunset with my baby next to me, crickets chirping and a warm breeze.

I saw Joni 3 times. fag in hand, speaking of the 60's and the hippy movemenet. She referred tothe 'free love' phase as self indulgence and that how 'we have found that free love is costs a great a deal'. There were sevral other 'name's talking baout this period, British celebreties, talking about IOW and Woodstock. they were not old enough to have been there! So why have them commenting? Don't know. Surely they could have found more cel;ebs old enough to know what they are on about? Germain Greer was on too. Frank as usual. A person I admire. Funny and to the point. She spoke of somes Hippies having very violent tendancies and it was a case of 'we support love and peace and I will beat you till you agree'. Funny how the free love thing didn;'t extend to gays. The same fear and intolerance was shown towards gays by the hippies as was shown by others. Joni seems to have a 'hunch' in her back or something. Like her spine has curved. Or she was just sitting badly. - -- bw colin DAK,BRO GC, 950i, 940,860,864,890, 260,Silver 830,860, 580 and 270, Passap 6000, Duo80. colin@tantra-apso.com http://www.tantra-apso.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 12:46:27 +0100 From: Gordon Mackie Subject: When hippies pulled the world Hmmmmmm Well I must say it was pretty unispired tv from the BBC. Kathy Burke, whom I love as an actress, was positively catatonic /comatose in her delivery. Was this ever a case of wrong person for the job. The Joni bits were of interest but not exactly new...more of the pink dress with the antimacassar neck. The up to date interviews with her seemed heavily edited. Did I tape the whole thing. Of course. Will I watch it again. Hmmmm who can say. What did you think Gordon PS I loved the Arthur Brown stuff....and the Doors were positively torn to shreds as the most overrrated band of the era....interesting ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 07:35:11 -0500 From: Emily Gray Tedrowe Subject: a song to live in... hmmm... good question. although i can't think of one to live in now (yet love the choices suggested by others), i have thought before of at least two joni songs i USED to live in -- in my NYC waitress/bartending days: barangrill: "none of the crazy you get from too much choice" and "ah, her mind's on her boyfriend and eggs over easy" the boho dance: "i was a hopeful in rooms like this when i was working cheap" two songs that i used to feel (sometimes still do!) that joni wrote just for me! - -- emily PS: although the one song that a bunch of us used to sing loud and pretend to live in, at this old roughandtumble pub called "riverrun" down in tribeca--torn down now-- was: "brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be...but my life, my love and my lady, is the sea." by the looking glass? anyway: i highly recommend it to anyone currently in the waitress/bartend trade. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 09:40:46 -0400 From: "Blair Fraipont" Subject: Re: the Song I am Living IN Now Hey, I like this thread!

I know this is a very serious subject, but I had to laugh at this one. I can't guarantee that the rest of the U.S. would win - except everyone would probably get bored with fighting, decide to go skiing instead, break their legs on some icy White Mountain slope, and go home. And, going back to the original Joni quote, she actually says something rather profound in "don't we get bored." In a certain sense, violence is a somewhat abstract form of entertainment for the general American public, I think. (movies, tv...) Sure, there is violence in the U.S., but to not the scale or for the reasons in other areas of the globe. (Yes, these are generalizations, and there are always exceptions...) Plus, we actually aren't very good, as a nation, at holding a grudge. The news anchor said apologetically the other night "Just one more item in the Middle East briefing..." Kind of like "we'll move on to something more interesting in a minute." Like how to lose weight faster, or something. I'm thinking of another Joni quote "land of short attention spans." We want to flip the channel, this conflict is repetitious and there's "no cease fire in view." It's "just more bang bang, ketchup color to" us. But it's not quite "more Twentieth Century Fox" because there are not characters to follow, no great plot line, and there's no end in site. I'm actually not saying all of this is bad. Even after 9/11, I think we're kind of naive in an innocent sort of way.

Here is a netiquettely incorrect Me Too. The live Slouching is one of Joni's most brilliant performances. I've listened to it hundreds of times and it still gives me chills.

I went last night, at the Castro theater in San Francisco, and have to say, they've done one fantastic job. The sound alone is worth the trip to the movies. Plus the visuals are so clear now. But the sound... is amazing. The theater was packed, for a Wednesday evening, and spontaneious audience applause joined that of the audience at Winterland, after several of the musician's songs, notably, Joni's Coyote. What a glorious rock 'n' roll conccert film.

Colin has already posted Carly's answer so some of you might want to skip it. I was the one who asked the question to begin with. Mark E in Seattle Carly Simon's website has an 'ask Carly' section where you can send questions and if they are deemed worthy of her time & attention, Carly will answer them. Her answer is posted on the website. I have sent 2 or 3 questions that I thought were reflective of my sincere appreciation of Carly's music and never gotten a response. So partly out of frustration at seemingly being ignored I asked: 'So what really happened between you & Chrissie Hynde at the Fez several years ago when Joni Mitchell played there?' Lo and behold, this was in my email today: Carly has answered your question. Please check the website to read her response. NOTE: She didn't understand the reference to Chrissie and Joni at first, so I expanded your question to give her a better reference. Since many people reading the question would probably need an idea of what you were referring to, I posted the modified version. Hope you don't mind! Great question, btw. Thanks for writing, Jodie webmaster@carlysimon.com Here is my 'expanded' question and Carly's response. Q One of the downsides of the Internet is that misinformation stays up there forever. Whenever I do a search on "Carly Simon", I inevitably get a link to a story about you and Chrissie Hynde getting into a fight at a concert. So I'm wondering what really happened between you & Chrissie Hynde at the Fez several years ago when Joni Mitchell played there? Markly - Shoreline, Washington A Well, Chrissie was a bit intoxicated and was yelling out during Joni's performance which needless to say, everybody wanted to hear. Chrissie was sitting right next to me and I asked her to be a little quieter. No one else would have dared say that to her, but me, stupid me, didn't know it was Chrissie. She started choking me in a loving way, saying: "you're great too Carly, get up there, you need to do this too". Very nice, the only problem being that it was right in the middle of Joni's song and people were looking at US. So I moved seats. That's all it was about. I must say that her choking me in 'fun intoxication' looked to a lot of the audience like a fight. It was not. I just couldn't believe that no one was interceding and saying anything to her. I love her music and respect her as an artist. It was just one of those things. Go figure.

I really am speechless. I'm working really hard to strengthen my voice and get better with each day. There was a time when I was constantly told what a no good nothing I was and that I would never amount to anything. This is why these words from you mean so much to me. I treasure them as I am still trying to climb out of that pit of such negative reinforcement. I met an awesome female blues rocker from Pittsburgh by the name of Tara Charles via the Just Plain Folks website, and it is so incredible because our stories are so similar. She plays a mean lead guitar which reminds me of Carlos Santanna if this would not be considered sacrilege to mention someone else's name with his. Even though I am very happy to be getting such wonderful responses, I am absolutely "thrilled" to be in a support situation with other musicians on this list and elsewhere. I dream of the day when I can just be around other musicians and collaborate. Mags, you are a very wonderful and special person to me and I want this whole list to know it!
