(Canada) I did a double take when they showed the judge (Sally Kellerman). She looks so much like Joni it's astounding. If you get a chance check it out tonight. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2002 10:38:01 -0400 From: Ken Subject: Re: Joni Look-a-like Just found a spot with some photos of Sally. http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=granitz&group=1193&photo=SallyKellerman_Granitz_184222.jpg&path=pgallery&path_key=Kellerman,+Sally Not every picture there looks like Joni but I think you'll see the resemblance. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 10:49:27 EDT From: Abbymusique@aol.com Subject: VH-1 Top 100 Women in Rock--Why am I surprised? Why am I surprised that Joni was voted number five instead of number one? (Has everyone already discussed this topic? If so, I apologize). Joni has been such an infuence on women in rock, I've always felt that she's number one, but to see her voted FIVE--that was a shock. Bonnie Raitt beat her out at number four--yes, Bonnie is the bomb, but in no way is she better that Joni. I have to admit, after that verdict I lost interest because I was toying with some new recording equipment, but I know Aretha scored higher too, and Janis Joplin. I just don't think anyone will ever get the fact of how legendary Joni really is. Another pet peave of mine that I know has been mentioned here before is the fact that when they do show Joni clips, it's like she quit making music after recording "Help Me". She's made videos in the eighties and nineties, and has made appearances. Why must we always have this picture in our heads of her strumming her dulcimer to "California" or giggling at the end of "Big Yellow Taxi"? Can't these tv baffoons come up with some recent footage too? Or are they so out of it that they think she died young like Janis and Mama Cass? Somebody please enlighten me on why the public has put her out to pasture! Okay, I'm through. This is my last vent on this subject, because maybe those that are truly great don't get the recognition they deserve until they are dead and buried, and I'd rather have Joni alive and kicking than 10 feet under. Hats off, Joni! You're still number one, even if only a select few know it!

I drive by Maidstone every time I go from here (just north of Edmonton) to my hometown in Saskatchewan, and of course I always think of Joni and that there should be a huge sign on the highway outside of Maidstone proclaiming "Childhood Home of Joni Mitchell!" One of these times I'm going to stop in and check out that museum Ashara and Sal visited. > the two ended up with careers > in reverse, Sharon settling down on the farm with her family, like the song > says. The words to that song are so beautiful and perfect. I love these: "We look like our mothers did now When we were those kids' age" Really, who could phrase it better? - -Kate of the North <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Letter Out is a journal whatnot sent via email whenever I have time and inclination.

American music has influences from everywhere, whereas much of the music from "the rest of the world" is the product of cultures with far less outside influence. I don't think this figure means that the entire US is listening solely to Britney and the boy bands. --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 14:09:22 EDT From: Murphycopy@aol.com Subject: Re: The American record buying public Sorry to the Joni-only people for the lack of a tag on my last post. --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 15:08:31 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Tom Rush schedule NOTE JUNE 15 date for anyone in the NE area doin this w/o njc so all can see...okay, tom brought recognition to joni...there's the joni content: >>Hope to see you down the road!

Only on the third play through with the sound turned up did I realize my mistake. This is the same woman who played Hot lips Houlihan from the movie Mash. I don't think she looked much like Joni when she was younger now she does. anne@sandstrom.com wrote: >This reminds me of another time I SWORE it was Joni in >a movie.

Joniphiles - I'm pleased to announce that the long-awaited "Joni in Fiction" section is now up and running! Bob Murphy has done a great job of researching the information and has spent many hours readying the section for the website. Thanks for all your hard work, Bob. I'm looking forward to watching the section continue to grow. Take a look: http://www.jmdl.com/fiction Lori Fye is also helping Bob with the technical aspects of the section. Thanks to you both! Les ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 22:21:55 -0400 From: "Sherman" Subject: BC Hi everyone, Just got back from a nice breather on the water in VA, sorry, not in BC! About that piece of heaven up there... thanks for the interest in my post from last year when we were sniffing around up there. What was most striking to me, other than the sheer beauty of the area, was that you have to ferry over to get to the Sunshine Coast. We were there on Canada Day 2001 and there were little girls with big red ribbons in their hair waving Maple Leaf flags waiting, like us for the ferry. As we parked our rental car (belly full of cars) and went up top, I kept thinking that everytime Joni came up from LA she would have waited for one of these ferry boats, just like we were doing. I have some great pictures I can scan to the JoniMitchellfans@yahoogroups. Yes, it is an absolutely gorgeous slice of this continent. The funniest part of that trip was me running into that place she talks about in PPWM (knitting story) and inquiring about her. They were very protective and tried to steer me clear of the area not wanting me to get too close and then stopping at the other nearby bar and them telling us down to the KM marker where it was. Yes, Sechelt and Half Moon Cay would be a perfect backdrop for some stunning artistic expression- lots of green water in motion there in that Strait of Georgia (or something like that , I'll have to go look at my pix and video.) My wonderful not-a-fan-of-Joni husband tried so hard to help me locate her place up there, so I could maybe glimpse a part of her, see wehre she wrote those songs. It was sweet and the kids in the back seat were worried that Mom was a stalker. I can safely say they were all relieved when I had my Encounter of the JONI kind in Toronto. Thank goodness they were not there to witness my "melt" down of the century. Thanks for reminding me that I am a die hard Joni fan. When IS that new album coming out?
