What is it about this book that's so compelling? There are many Joni references as you say. They appear to be pretty good friends and in many ways very similar. But the book is like this discussion list -- that is -- the more you get to know about Joni the more you wish you didn't know. By the end of Shakey I'm not liking Young very much at all. But his After The Goldrush remains (to me) a quintessential early 70's album. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2003 11:10:08 -0000 From: "Paul Headon" Subject: counting crowes cover rev up Big Yellow taxi Hi The Counting Crowes cover of BYT had me dancing in the kitchen what a cover joyous and so interesting and quirky rendition.

I agree Paul...I put it on my "Sweet 16" & loved it from day one. Yesterday I got the CD-single of it which contains Vanessa Carlton's mixed in vocals. A bit too bubble-gummish to blend with Duritz, plus I like the fact that CC version didn't have the bop-bop-bop's in there to begin with. BUT Carlton's harmonies with Adam on the closeout are very nice. Plus the CD-single had unplugged versions of 'If I could Give All My Love (Richard Manuel Is Dead)' & 'Hard Candy' which sound great.

But I do know that I felt absolutely ASSAULTED when I read your post this morning. I do not know who "the second tier peacocks that strut along these pages here" are but I am quite certain I am not one of them. "Great tradition of my genes"????? "Investigate the authenticity of your list"???? May I suggest that if you need to express rage at a group of people that you do not know, you may want to take a look at that kind of behavior. If you hate the JMDL list so much, then don't participate. Discussion is one thing, abuse is quite another. From an observer's point of view, you sounded a bit delusional, and that's a little scary.

I don't hear anything different other than that. Why do they do that anyway?

It was the first time I saw her in concert, at Red Rocks in Colorado. Talk about a perfect place to see Joni! It was the Shadows and Light tour. Jaco, Lyle, Pat, Don, Brecker, and of course Joni! Wow, what a night. I was in about the 10th row dead center. I was already delirious, having waited to see Joni for years, and the Red Rocks surroundings just added to the magic. Finally, out she comes in this gorgeous, pale yellow chiffon-type dress. The fabric on the dress was rather wispy, and it waved ever so beautifully in the breeze. At one point during the show, she was back lit by the stage lighting, and as the light shone through her dress, it outlined her body perfectly. Her hair was aglow from the light, her body rocking to the rhythms of the music, as that dress - that wonderful, magical dress - billowed all around her! It was one of the sexyist things I've ever seen, and definitely my favorite Joni look. Now you'll have to excuse me - I have to go take a cold shower.

I had mistakenly assumed that they were a heavy band. One of the guys in the band told me afterwards that they are releasing it as a single. I think it could make the top ten. I hope so anyway.

I agree with that choice. I think the world has begun to acknowledge River, which keeps on popping up. I think BMT has potential. It has it all, except the sugar pop accessability that seems so in demand these days. In the old days, it might have been a shoe in. Universality seems to be another necessary characteristic. That might leave Amelia out. I wish Hejira would get more attention, as well as Blue. They both have that universality to them. Of course, The Circle Game has it, and I would put it on my list before Chelsea Morning.
