She's criticized for being verbose, but when you consider the vast amount of information she conveys, there really aren't that many words. Am I making sense? ken Yes, Ken, that makes perfect sense. I'm often amazed at how Joni can take something real, whether from her own life or about someone else, and turn it into pure poetry, without changing the facts.

What leads me to this post is reading a post by my old buddy Ken and I believe Anne about Judgement of the Moon and Stars...Ken stated "Think how most other writers might take an entire song to tell that Beethoven deathbed story. And Joni tosses it off in a line in a verse in a song about something so much more encompassing!"

My ALL TIME FAVORITE Joni description is actually in the prementioned song (Ludwigs Tune) The line is "Condemned to wires and hammers Strike every chord that you feel That broken trees And elephant ivories conceal" Now shes talking about a piano obviously but it's the way she goes about it..Sometimes I feel like I am the piano sometimes its me playing the piano..I have always been affected by these lines...Maybe because I came onto this album at a very craazy time in my life..who knows..I just wanted to take this opportunity to jump back into the river o' Joni...Ive missed your company...Hope you all are having a nice day...If not then try a lil harder..****Kev**** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 18:01:24 EST From: Michaelpaz@aol.com Subject: Joni on TV [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type multipart/related] Return-Path: Received: from rly-yg04.mx.aol.com (rly-yg04.mail.aol.com [172.18.180.100]) by air-yg04.mail.aol.com (v97.14) with ESMTP id MAILINYG42-2853ffdc18d7; Thu, 08 Jan 2004 15:46:24 -0500 Received: from srvr1.pyramid.local (69-2-75-13.wan.networktel.net [69.2.75.13]) by rly-yg04.mx.aol.com (v97.10) with ESMTP id MAILRELAYINYG45-2853ffdc18d7; Thu, 08 Jan 2004 15:46:05 -0500 Subject: Joni on TV Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 14:51:09 -0600 Message-ID: <3C92E1D7A11EB049924AE2DA45086104042370@srvr1.pyramid.local> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thread-Topic: Joni on TV Thread-Index: AcPWKSSbpMddwd5NRsCu2JyAFOy0kg== content-class: urn:content-classes:message X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.4417.0 From: "Michael Paz" To: X-AOL-IP: 69.2.75.13 X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version) X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/related by demime 0.97c-p1 X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was multipart/alternative =20 ROCKONTV guide to music on television=20 =20 =20 =20 Show: Popular Song: Soundtrack of the Century Episode: (#006) Network: ( BRAV ) Bravo =20 Date: Wednesday - January 14, 2004 Time: 06:00 am - 07:00 am ET =20 =20 Featured Artists=20 =20 America (70's), The Band, The Beatles, Jackson Browne, Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, David Crosby, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Eagles (Rock), Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead, Carole King, Roger McGuinn, Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, Robbie Robertson, James Taylor (Popular)=20 =20 About: (#006)=20 Part Six looks at music of the late Sixties and early Seventies, a time when Rock 'n' Roll took as sudden a turn as the teenagers who grew up on it did. Upheavals in society such as Vietnam, the deaths of the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King, Jr. and the tragedy at Altamont, even the breakup of the Beatles, took their toll on a society of young men and women who had led a freewheeling youth, and this was reflected in the music of the time.=20 As the golden age of the Beatles finished, so did the golden age of America - and for both, a new age of highly personal lyrical navel-gazing took flight. As old groups disbanded (The Birds, Buffalo Springfield and the Hollies), new groups were formed (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young).=20 POPULAR SONG: SOUNDTRACK OF THE CENTURY explores the careers of singer-songwriters such as James Taylor, Carole King, Randy Newman and Jackson Browne. By the mid-Seventies the mellow sound of the Eagles was the best-selling music in the world.

Sad to say, I don't care for it (except maybe for one song or two.) I run hot and cold on Judy Collins (like Baez, I guess - - I love some of her stuff, can't stand some others.)

It charged them with Lying and distorting the truths to the United Nations and fabricated findings of the weapons inspectors. It said that the head of the CIA should be an elected position and not an appointed position to distance It's self from inside the Administration. I don't trust any of them and they are making a cess pool of American Politics pandering to Corporate greed and Big business and the man has the ARROGANCE to say he was chosen by GOD to be president at this time. What Gaul the man has. The only landslide I wish for Bush is to be in the path of one in some ski resort.

There was series recently on famous people and their beliefs and he was shown sayin g how Jesus had entered his heart and changed him and he wa sborn again. Whatever entered his heart and whatever mind he has, it was most certainly NOT Jesus. It sickens me that so many who profess this are far from loving peaceful people. This is precisely why Bush is dangerous and why America is the major threat to the world. He sees it as his mission to bring about what the BA's believe is Armageddon. This is why the ME problem will not be solved and why we are headed for complete meltdown...because Bush and his ilk believe they are following Jesus..tho quite apparently, they have no brain cells between them if they believe this-or worse they know they are spouting hogwash and are aware of their own darkness. - -- bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 19:36:39 -0800 From: "gene mock" Subject: Re: NPR-Bush Co.
