Although Joni didn't perform on stage, she did participate in a songwriters' workshop in the afternoon with Judy Collins, Leonard Cohen and Janis Ian.

Good one, Sue! This song was actually the song most likely to be put on a compilation tape back in the latter 70's. A brilliant song, my own take on it is that it's not "about" anybody in particular, but rather like so many of Joni's songs is more of a pastiche of people, times, and images. Although I do have to say I can relate to this lyric: "Grow up!" I cried And as the smoke was clearing he said "Give me one good reason why" Bob, growing older but not "up" NP: Smashmouth, "Your Man" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 12:04:13 -0400 From: "blonde in the bleachers" Subject: Re: DJRD & NRH DJRD is currently my favorite Joni CD, I can't stop listening to it. The title track is absolutely unbelievable and in Marlena and Otis when she sings "while muslims stick up washington" it still sends shivers down my spine. The album is pure genius. >From: "Erica Trudelle" >Reply-To: "Erica Trudelle" >To: joni@smoe.org >Subject: DJRD & NRH >Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 16:20:56 -0400 > >hey all, >I just got DJRD and NRH....I wish to receive any and all comments, >advice, warnings, and joyus remarks about listening to one or both >of these.

I was just listening to DJRD recently. A very fascinating (though in some ways weak) collection. But let's face it, nobody but nobody other than JM could have pulled that one off. Listen to the closing moments of Jericho -- the juxtaposition of Jaco's incredible bass and Shorter's sax is just remarkable (I think it was Wayne, I don't have the CD in front of me to check). Sometimes it's the small moments that make Joni's body of work so brilliant.

"Paprika Plains" is best experience as a single track, in isolation, as the artist intended. Lama ps, Oh, yeah, "Night Ride Home" is a good album. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2002 #205 ********************************* ------- 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?
