I could put an album out today and call it Blue if I wanted. Actually, I have a song called "Blue" on my first cd, Tangled. Joni would have had no reason to trademark Blue as she is not using it for anything other than the title of one of her albums. And Blue itself is a pretty general word, not having any specific conotations other than to Joni fans. As long as it is the name of a unique entity, and is not already being used, he can call his company Blue, or Green, or Purple... My own publishing company is Way to Blue Music, a nod to Nick Drake.

How cool she played all those vintage songs...you had me right there with you in ectasy when you mentioned all of them...why oh why is she not coming to my town?! She did in her heyday & I saw her several times in the 80's ... I remember jeff pevar describing the experience of playing with rlj...it is a hazy memory paraphrase but he said something about how she was the most pure musical conduit he'd ever experienced...something like that... >She started with a fantastic rendition of 'So Long Lonely Avenue'. She also performed 'The Horses'...she launched into the opening chords of 'We Belong Together'. ... And then she went into 'Living It Up' ...a heartbreakingly lovely rendition of 'On Saturday Afternoons in 1963' to them. < ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2003 14:17:37 -0500 From: "Joseph S.E. Palis" Subject: Re: love actually I agree. The movie was good but not that great, though it went to many places in my heart that were too complex for me to articulate. For some reason, the joyous feel of the film heightened my loneliness here in a foreign land. That said, I found the story involving this guy who fell for the bride of his friend (Its great fun seeing Chiwetel Efiojor do a light film after the darkness of the brilliant "Dirty Pretty Things") more real than the rest, maybe because it showed the nuance of love which can sometimes be excruciating for its exclusivity. The fact that love did not really work its way for this guy made it bittersweet (although the film's end hinted a troublesome (for me) resolution). I found Colin Firth's story the most romantic though the way it was resolved was a bit too tidy and a tad superfluous (I will learn Portuguese too). I found the Laura Linney story the most touching because of her almost masochistic love for things unrequited, be it the guy in the office or her brother who she loves unconditionally. The Emma Thompson character was, in my opinion, the most fully fleshed out. Her character has this consistency that makes your heart break to see her in despair. That scene where she played Joni's BSN while fighting back tears is quite moving because Joni acted like a real friend to her gently admonishing her for believing that love can last even if two married people already reached a certain age where parting is out of the question. That Joni moment in the bedroom was in stark contrast to the young Joni singing in the background when Emma was still quietly living her life of wedded bliss. Martine McCutcheon is a lounge/cabaret singer, was she not? She is so drop-dead gorgeous and lovely here. Didn't care much for the High Grant character as I have seen enough of his schtick to be moved (though his impromptu dance was admittedly funny). Its great to see a film with more than adequate Joni references. Most people here in school who watched it, remembered the Joni reference. With so many Altman-esque stories in the film, its hard not to remember the Joni moments.

Haven't seen the film "Love actually" but Emma Thompson is just so superb that she could probably make any character sympathetic.

Should I send a car around? Lama, PS, Speaking of good skin, no one noticed that Ms. Goodspeed closed my collection of photos this year. I'm talking about sequencing, folks. I opened with the Welcome Gathering and closed with her look of wondrous rapture. "Open with a bang and close with a bang," I always say. Okay, I'm done now. Goodspeed said, >Unfortunately the movie itself was not so grand. Unless you're a big fan of unrequited romantic love between young gorgeous women with exquisite skin and men 5 to 20 years older with considerably more wrinkles. ; ) did have a very good Altman-sized cast though. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2003 #366 ********************************* ------- 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?
