My brain hurts! The hard part is trying to figure out what Joni might have meant and, when you come to something that could have more than one meaning - as it so often does with Joni's lyrics - then you have to either find other words that could also mean more than one thing, or make a choice. Where I ran into one of those make-a-choice things, I sometimes deliberately chose the most foolish words I could because, what the hell. I don't think I can do this again though.

It was an apt conclusion to a set that seemed to announce an exciting new path for Krall. After so much success delving into the American Songbook, the Grammy winner has turned her ear to tunes from more recent decades, creating a gratifying pop/jazz approach that maintains jazz's rhythmic and improvisational prerogatives.

Every one of them has made me laugh out loud at least once. (What a great idea, Hell! Very original. I've never heard of anyone doing anything like this.) Catherine, Kate, Andrew and Mark -- I'm glad others *get* how priceless these things become by the time they're done. I agree with Catherine: they're much more than mere parodies. Plus I also hear the Shakespearian thing happening. We should submit all of them for publication to a poetry journal and pretend they we're all written by some poet we invent! (J.M. D'El?) They'd probably get published! --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2003 01:21:10 EDT From: KJHSF@aol.com Subject: Re: Cease interfering with the sadness In a message dated 5/31/2003 2:00:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time, anima_rising@yahoo.ca writes: > He states "Your carvings, freedom poppet" I don't want to start anything, but shouldn't this be: "You're carvings, freedom poppet" ?

The Syncopated Sibilance of Daylight Savings Time Grassplots He purchased a glass-cutting jewel for her neck He shoved her in a one-level dwelling on an elevation She could spy the lowland cookouts Through the ledge of the transparent opening in the wall Visualize the ultramarine lagoons in the eye-cocking luminous sky blast Auscultate the syncopated sibilance of daylight savings time grassplots He erected a quill-laden barricade of twisted metals To ensure against undesirable anonymous entry And atop each point of mineral A teensy smidge of his own hemoglobin poopjuice She behaves as sentinel by that barricade of his To a Latin-American throbbing and the syncopated sibilance of daylight savings time grassplots Inscrutability Curiosity simplifies Inscrutability With the feigning of jubilance Inscrutability Cylinder is removed, inscrutability, inscrutability No chromaticity no contradistinction Then I run into a brick wall when we get to the 'diamond dog'....any ideas?
