(flippant JC) "John van Tiel" writes: >How insentive (just saw Pat Metheny in Amsterdam doing a brilliant version >of this Joao Gilberto classic) Yeah, Pat has been playing How Insensitive (written by Antonio Carlos Jobim, musically based on Chopin's Prelude in E minor) for years and years, and it's always different and it's always beautiful and always brilliant. I caught the current Pat Metheny Group tour back in March, which was genius ... every song, every note played by everybody. Just as it has been every time I've ever heard the group over the decades. Ultimate world class consistency, for 25 years. What other contemporary music group has been writing, playing, and recording on the level they've been doing it on, as consistently as they've been doing it, for as long? No other. By the way, John, did you enjoy the gig? - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 May 2002 05:25:29 EDT From: FredNow@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni's least sexiest songs dsk writes: >Victor Johnson wrote: >> >> So...what's the least sexiest song that Joni has??? > >Sex Kills, especially because whenever I hear it or even think of it I >also picture her stern face when she performed it on some late-night >talk show.

What a nice way to begin my Mother's Day! I look forward to receiving some more of your gems and gems they are and such a GEM you are!!! How LUCKY this group is that you are a member!!!!! Where do you get that energy??? You are awesome. Happy Mother's Day out there to all you Moms, you too, Joni. Remember me? I was the one shaking and sobbing for joy directly behind you at Harborfront in Toronto. Just had to get that in, folks. It was sort of a "Mother and Daughter Reunion" with Killauren there next to Larry, too. My pick for the sexiest Joni song in history has to be A Case of You. I remember that time you told me you said "Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet Thanks again, Bob. You made my day. Plus it got me to post.

The radio-hit single was by a man and a woman who was not Joni; I think they were French. Minor point: It's vocal "cords," not "chords." John also wrote (or quoted), beginning with a quote from Mike: >*** > >Mike wrote: > >>To say that Britney Spears is a greater songwriter and singer than Joni >Mitchell is an idiotic remark. > >??? By which standards??? >Anyone who manages to get the entire world to sing "Oops ... " must be a >fabulous songwriter by my standards. > > >Oops > >John > Ahem. I think this phenomenon shows that someone is a fabulous marketer, not that the tunesmith of "Oops ... " is a fabulous songwriter. And does Britney Spears write her own songs?

I believe she appeared on a few episodes of 'Roseanne' and that she sang in one of these. As I remember it was some kind of classic rock tune with a bluesy bent to it and she sounded fantastic!<<<<<< oh wow!! hows that for timing?? i just got back from leave (50+ digests to catch up on!!) while i was away i picked up my first ever delaney & bonney cd "home"at a 2nd hand cd shop. tjhe name rang a bell from i dont know where, & when i looked at the musicians - duck dunn, steve cropper, booker t jones, i just had to give it a try - really, really good!!! (tho "piece of my heart" juyst cant live up to the standard janis set...) also, i read a book called "coyote waits" by tony hillerman. set on an indian reservation, and delving quite deeply into indian legends, it explained the significance of coyote in indian legend, as the evil despoiler, lying in wait, ready to trip men into evil, and generate chaos in their lives (unfortunately i forgot the book behind so i cant quote anything) anyhow, it kind of made sense in the context of joni's song coyote. or am i missing the reference altogether & theres another story behind the reference?? ron np - victoria williams - "grandpa in the cornpatch" - from "musings of a creek dipper." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 May 2002 20:13:40 +0000 From: "J Harney" Subject: Joni's sexiest song I really agree with the lister who picked "Electricity" from FTR as Joni's sexiest song. However, next week I might offer another candidate for this honor, but, recurrently (pardon the pun), I am struck by the the descriptions and sensory language of this song. And Joni's voice and phrasing is, well, electrifying. BTW, this is my very first posting to the JMDL.

It's wonderful, with a great vocal and arrangement. More than just a broken-heart song, it pretty well captures a jilted lover's whacked-out obsession.
