[dsk ] That Wretched Woman From New Jersey ["Suzanne MarcAurele" Subject: Fw: If a man has a sex change...... This was one for that VP (virtual pub) moment WROTE...... If a man has a sex change to become a woman so that he/she can have a relationship with a lesbian woman what does that make him/her???? I KNOW THIS WOMAN.......... she was a very good male friend of mine for years and at the age of 48 (but not to my surprise) took the plunge to have her gender dysmorphia (correct name for those who have transgenderism) corrected. Petite (married three times and with three children) she took the plunge to end the years of cross dressing and secret longing. Brave Brave Brave person. She is very very happy (despite all she had to give up... family, many friends, her children's love and her parent's love) but has discovered that she is for the main part lesbian and has developed a relationship with another woman. She recently... to quieten her curiosity about "what male to female sex was like and to test drive the new bits" had a bit of a fling with a guy and pronounced it "not her cup of tea...... and to think darling I used to do that to my wives and girlfriends"..... She did not have gender re-assignment to become lesbian but discovered her true sexuality once the " evidence of natures cruel travesty" was removed. When she was a man she and I talked like best girly friends about all sorts of things, including his/her siutation (trapped in wrong body). WE had lost touch for a few years and I had missed "him" . A year ago she got in touch and we met and she walked by me twice before I recognised her as all she had said was "I have a surprise for you" ... Anyway to answer your question Ron.... It makes them wonderful warm and valuable people whose sexuality is not of the slightest matter in this world.

Hello jmdl. It's been a while, hasn't it? But with the release of Travelogue, I couldn't resist a peek back into the old e-community. Okay, so I did for a while, but it's now gotten the better of me. Is there an acronym for this one yet ... TVLG? TVL? T? TG? TLG? Just curious ... I remember how we love them so. So what's the thoughts .... ? In many ways, I think this might easily be the most enigmatic of Joni's albums, which is saying something. Of course, I'm thrilled to see the 80's catalog represented, and personally think that "You Dream Flat Tires" alone makes TVLG worth the price of admission. On the flip side, am I alone in my disappointment with the arrangements of the "Hejira" selections? My expectations were perhaps too high ... because to me they seem "merely pleasant." I'll leave it there for now ... and wait for the flood to wash over me. Good to be back. Look forward to hearing from you. Don Rowe ===== Visit me anytime at http://www.mp3.com/donrowe Yahoo!

Hello, Mr. Rowe!!!! Of course, you've been SORELY missed and mentioned frequently, particularly when the discussions turn to Joni's 80's output. ;~) Your comments above pretty much sum up my thoughts on T'log (what most of us abbreviate to)...I played it this morning and most of it's fine, just not what I'm looking for. I also think she could have taken some more risks and made this project more challenging than it is. Enigmatic (your word) is a good one. So are you still writing & recording? Any new projects in the works?

But his After The Goldrush remains (to me) a > quintessential early 70's album. Yes, Young comes off as a moody, impulsive person without much regard for others. But really committed to the creative process more than anything. Regarding After the Goldrush, the book says that "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" was alledgedly written about Joni & Nash's breakup. No new light on "Stupid Girl", but I suspect it is about Carrie Snodgrass, not Joni, as most of Zuma was the aftermath of Youngs relationship with her.

Did you also notice the juxtaposition of "anymore" and "any more" in my post ? Sort of like in "Midway", Joni's overtime and over time.

Bob's Art ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2003 12:08:17 -0800 (PST) From: Susan Guzzi Subject: Re: STANDARD oil Hi Michael, I must respectfully disagree with your point here, although I understand it completely. The thing about writing and speifically music, is it IS ALL personal. However, we all can listen to a song and it touches our own story within, it brings out an emotion and an episiode in our own lives. When we hear the interpretation of that specific song, from the author, it may very well have a totally different meaning, but it is all about when that song becomes ours and what it means to us. In a song uch as Cold Blue Steel & Sweet Fire, that is pretty subject specific and yet I know many people untouched by heroin who can get totally immersed in that song and it's message. And any song about love can be a couple's song - even a break-up song. So in the case of a great artist/writer like Joni, we may know the true root of her compostions, but when we are sitting back and in our own moments, can we not feel something completely different than Joni ever intended or feel the same emotion but for our own reasons? Just my own observations. I would also say as a small time, no talent writer, I used to be inhibited for the very thing you present, that no one would see what i was saying ... or understand me. But the mind is a complex and amazing thing. When I began writing more I was always surprised at the parts that people latched on to and that let me know to write with abandon and let people find what they need in it. So, write for yourself and share for others own self exploration. Okay I have pontificated much too long and the bottom line is Blue Hotel Room has what I believe it takes to be a standard. No matter what Joni herself may even say about this. So sing it, all you singers!

Thanks. > > Yes, many (most ?) of us think of TGR as a top song. Today, I had another epiphany into why I have loved Blue for almost 32 years. I sat down at the piano to try to learn to play My Old Man (thanks Janine), and was left (after a brief initial session with the sheet music) in amazement that such early work could have so much in it. In particular, the use of successive half tones in the melody and related harmony (juxtaposed to her trademark leaps), the unusual key change (or at least, effective key change) to the chorus and back, the major to minor chord shifts, and the trademark use of non-tonic bass chords. And, the lyrics to boot. What a fantastic song ! And I bet that relatively few of us would put it among their top 5 on that album !!!! My personal ranking has historically put it at number 8 !!!I I'm moving it up to number 5, but refuse to lower the rankings of any of the others :-) This is a good example of something that I (and no doubt most of us) have observed in reading the posts to this list. Namely, that Joni's work is of such extraordinarily high and consistent quality that almost all of her songs have something so noteworthy about them that they have found their way onto somebody's "personal favorites" list. That is a telling testament to her body of work, IMO.

I had lent the video to a good friend of mine and she felt that Joni and David Bowie shared alot of common facial features. I took another look and have to agree with her.

I am planning on performing it someday, because it's such a beautiful "blues" song, and I would change the lines to, "I know that you've got all those pretty boys coming on..." and "Tell those boys that you've got Andy, he's coming back home." It works for gay guys too, and the "boom, boom pachyderm" line is most intriguing with endless interpretive possibilities. If I was a recording artist, I'd make absolutely sure to keep Joni's vocal interlude in tact if I was covering that song - that sweet, multi-tracked layering of Joni's vocals right after the aforementioned line is sung.

Historically speaking, it's been done both ways. Karin Allyson sings "Joni" Denise Marie sings "Joni" Lorraine Gervais sings "'Raine" (short for Lorraine) David Lahm & Steve Klink said nothing (instrumentals) Claire Martin says ?? (should know in a week) no male vocalist versions yet that I'm aware of. (When I sang it at Jonifest 2001, I kept Joni's lyric intact) And I think while Michael has a point, I don't see the inclusion of her name as an obstacle to BMR becoming a standard in time. BUT there are songs that are very personal...still, are there any Joni songs more personal than I Had A King & Little Green, yet they've been done several times, and very effectively so I might add. I would submit that what holds most singers back from doing a specific Joni song is not the lyrical content but rather the musical complexity. When a naturally gifted vocalist comments on how hard it is to sing Joni, you KNOW it can be a daunting task!

Are you saying we are fundamentally wrong for finding time, unlike those who worked to find the formulas and secrets in the past, to enjoy the fruit of our labors? I hate the thought of this war as much as I hated the Viet Nam war but it is not a time for chiming, it is not a time for catchy phrases and war, for or against it is not a fashion, it is a collision of peoples, of cultures, of civilizations - it is A GOD DAMNED SERIOUS CROSSROADS THAT INVOLVES EVERYONE YOUND AND OLD IN THE THE US-EURO WHITE CULTURE AND I DONT AND WONT APPRECIATE PEOPLE WHO THINK MY TAKING OFFENSE AT THEIR ATTACKS AGAINST US IS ANTI WHAT? JONI? IT ISNT BANG BANG KETCHUP COLOR TO ME Sorry, dont mean to yell I am very upset that the have nots when given half a chance, and in the case of the Arabs, given billions, prefer to build Armies for hate - we built a compendium of knowlege for 2000 years not a religious hatred and some idiotic Hatfields vs McCoys attitude to the rest of the world. we documented their birds, their butterflies, their rocks etc, in thousands of years it was never important to them , now we are what? these are facts I know but that does not mean I created them, in revelations the book is bitter such is truth but I will cherish the truth before slants of it S. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 00:54:05 EST From: Lazyasz@aol.com Subject: switching the digest?
