Well, speaking from the vantage point of a 45-year-old male, the guy gets the company of two lovely 17-year old girls for the whole of the train trip, and he's out $50 and drink money? Naw, he didn't regret a nanosecond of it, Hell, I guarantee it, especially given that YOU were one of the 2 young girls. :~) As for WTRF, I'm with you 100%. For me this record came at exactly the right time...I had recently relocated to Greenville from Raleigh NC, and besides my co-workers (who I did not have much in common with) I didn't really have much around me that was a familiar comfort. WTRF gave me Joni back (after she had abandoned me with Mingus which I did not appreciate at the time), And I just thought the LP resonated with joy, which was very sincere of course as she was celebrating her new-found love with Klein. For a long time I played WTRF when I woke up each morning to get me going, Jacko's "Thriller" when I got home from work, and Willie Nelson's "Stardust" to sing me to sleep at night.

Ahem! I believe *I* have mentioned it a time or two! ;~) I DO think that it's a significant release as it will end up turning on scads of folks onto Joni's music. It's one thing for a contemporary artist to do a Joni cover; it's another thing when people like Adam Duritz openly and gushingly praise Joni's work. I think the upcoming Mandy Moore release (now delayed to October) could have the same effect; she's been very vocal in her praise of Joni, both on her website and in interviews, and she has hordes of young female fans, all ready to be burned in relationships and in need of the balm of Joni's solace.

Well, here's my 2 cents worth on the Counting Crows version of BYT. I'm not a big fan of CC, but they do a killer job of BYT. I didn't want to buy their album, but I saw the movie "Two Weeks Notice" which their version appears. I liked all of the music from the movie, so I bought the soundtrack. BIG MISTAKE !!! The damn CD just had the background elevator type music from the movie.

There us no mention of Joni: Will the Catholic Church embrace "The Magdalene Sisters"? Peter Mullan, who created the much-honored feature exposing sadistic goings-on inside Ireland's Magdalene asylums for wayward girls in the 1960's, is wondering what the next response to his film will be-especially when Miramax launches its American release next month. "Initially, the Vatican said I was a liar and I'd made the whole thing up," notes Mullan, who still hasn't taken most of his pay for his labor-of-love project-and who still receives thank-you letters from the women he calls "survivors of the Magdalene." "By the time it opened in Ireland, they were silent. But then when it opened in Scotland, I picked up the newspaper one Sunday morning and found a huge ad taken by the official spokesperson of the Catholic Church in Scotland. I though it would be an outright condemnation. Instead, it was an unequivocal recommendation that everyone should see it. I was absolutely gobsmacked." He adds, "Donning my optimistic hat, I'd like to think it's the beginning of an act of contrition. Donning my cynical hat, I think it's a cover-up public relations exercise. The truth is probably in-between." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 17:45:25 +0000 From: "c Karma" Subject: "Is That All There Is?" and "Both Sides Now" I got a new car recently. My first with a CD player! Retro, eh? Reigning in the slot for over a week is the promo CD "Stormy Weather" that came from AT&T Worldnet that was the 1998 Walden Woods Benefit. Most of us know the event, a gaggle of popular singers including Joni gathered in the Hollywood Bowl to chirp for Don Henley's pet charity a selection of new and old standards, backed by a symphony orchestra and jazz combo reading arrangements by Vince Mendoza. Sound familiar? The most surprising highlight for me is Sandra Bernhard's version of "Is That All There Is?", which you might remember as a big hit for Peggy Lee in the late 60s. Mendoza hits this one perfectly, his arrangement blending Scott Joplin, Nino Rota and Kurt Weill seamlessly to back Bernhard's jaded, comic detachment. ("Jaded" here, being a darker shade of ennui. "World-weary" would suggest having lived it all, previously. That's Shirley MacLaine's version.) Anyway, why someone hasn't lassoed Bernhard for a Broadway run in something Brechtian, I don't know. Listening over and over, with Joni following later on "Stormy Weather" made me think of the similiarity in structure of "Is That All There Is?" and "Both Sides Now." Both songs were popular hits in the late 60s. They both used their narrative verses to create chapters in a repeated manner, both looking for conclusions in understanding love and life individually. (ITATI: fire,circus,love, life. BSN: clouds,love,life) Greater minds could probably point to their success in sociological terms, given the political and social unrest of the period and I'm sure that this list is no stranger to discussions of "Both Sides Now" in this regard. Can anyone suggest other songs that use a similar, repeated structure where subjects change and are inserted to good and profound effect?

Even if it is just a glimmer of recognition, any validation of what we have exposed them to is victory. Case in point: even though my daughter has been listening to Joni since before she was born, she will not allow herself to admit that Joni is SIQUOMB. Last night this bass player that she has been after for months finally accepted her invitation back to our house after one of his gigs. I am not sure if everyone's home is like mine, but I have a wonderful picture drawn by lister Diane Evans of Joni's Hejira cover on one wall, and her Mendel art exhibit poster on another. My appreciation for Joni is very evident. This young bass player comments on how cool Joni is, and that she collaborated with the greatest bass player ever (Jaco). Of course, I have been telling Stacy this for years, and even wanted her to use this as a pick-up line for her bass player, but being as it was from mom it was not valid. Wonders never cease. Last night was complete and total acceptance of all things Joni. Funny how when a boy is involved then all of a sudden things are different. I told her that I would hook her up with Mingus, Hejira, DJRD and my favorite Hissing. Am I missing a Jaco, oh, yeah, S&L, which she already likes. Finally, just as I am sending my child off to college, she is enlightened not by me but by the bass player she stalks. Who cares, as long as she appreciates Joni! Peace, Sue n.p.

I have a couple of really strong memories that are associated more with individual songs than whole albums. Whenever I hear "Chinese Cafe", I flash back to getting ready for my 30th birthday dinner. We were living in Alaska at the time, and in January, Alaska is pretty much a dark, crusty snowbank (albeit, fabulously pretty). We were heading about 30 miles down the coast to the Double Musky for dinner, and my mother was visiting us for the first time. Just hearing the song brings back vivid memories of a very cold, star-lit night, black velvet dresses, pepper-crusted steaks, happiness at having my mother close by, and that bittersweet feeling of leaving a part of my youth behind. The other trigger for me is most of FTR, but especially Barangrill, for some reason. I spent a lot of my first year in Alaska by myself, as my husband travels a lot, and hearing this just summons memories of many lonely drives down very icy roads with snow piled high (we had two and a half feet in one day, as I recall), and the pleasantly peculiar "green" smell of Alaska.
