Hope you've been missing me as much as I've been missing you I wanted to share with you something that's very strange I was listening to a cd named "Mouth by Mouth" by a band named "His Name Is Alive" (1993), and suddenly, between tracks 9-10, I heard the following: Theres a voice of an old woman saying "Joni" and then a voice that sounds just like Joni, so help me God, and we all know how she sounds when she speaks, and Jonis voice is a weeping voice, and it says "Party people, they're coming to take me to an insane asylum", then weeps a bit more, then ends. I was amazed! Please, if anyone knows this band, or the cd, or can find a way to hear it and confirm this, I'd thank him/her ever so much. And Im telling you all  it was Joni's voice, no doubt about it. Love you all, Nuriel Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.

I thought about the words "Tax free, save me" - and then i thought - maybe the ending of her debut in the words "being free" can be explained as not being, same as in tax free? (being - is the tax) - and maybe that's why she's asking to be saved, because her will to live, to be, is stronger than her wish to be free of being? Or the other way around - maybe her will to bo gone is so strong, that she asks for help? Just some thoughts... Love, Nuriel Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.

I'm not surprised that most of Joni's hold up really well - in fact one of the main reasons I place Joni so high as an artist is coz I feel her music and her lyrics are usually both equally accomplished. Ok...so staying on the track of words at the moment - I've listed 10 songs which I consider the lyrics to be pure poetry. You can click on the links to read them if you like. They are in no particular order btw. I don't like to analyze too much coz I think mystery is beauty its self but I'm in such a sharing mood at the moment! Love to read what lyrics other people consider to be good poems.

Today my mood is improved. Yesterday, I tried to communicate with my computer and explain that, '... if it was going to worship me, it should know who I am.' Happily, it did not respond, so I believe neither of us are deluded. Today my mood is improved. Yesterday, I explained to my computer how to obliterate all mathematical logic by neutralizing the concept of operators (and values, functions, rationalized variables, etc). However, I used operators to do so, so I was caught in hypocrisy. Hypercrisy would seem to be trying to use yet more operators, eg. words, to make my poignant point. Procne, Philomela and Tereus (and perhaps another sister Amarallyssa) are examples of multi-protagonists in Greek myth, which is unusual, in my opinion, which is unusual. Surely chords would've been used for their stage entrance, and tetrameter -- also unusual. Like attacked cave-women electing a leader, via the push-butt-on method, to defend the cave from yet another predator or band of unknown hunters (non-voters), would these protagonists have agonizingly gone forth (and multiplied)? Not if they were too scared of a tigress' oral emissions/missives. When Afghanistan began to settle down, I called DiFi (Dianne Feinstein) and proposed a "femocracy", replete with new trainees in huge Caterpillar earthmovers building a much-needed dam or two, and moving aside non-voters (male masochists). I also called Barbara Boxer, and then every female congresswomen. But their staff was somewhat dismissive of the idea as unworkable. I could not reach what's her name, Benazir Bhutto, the former premier of Pakistan, it goes w/o saying. As the sperm-like presidential candidates now make their way upstream towards the Ovum Office, I am given to thinking that salmon do not follow the watercourse way of the tao -- or do they? Ergo, Hilary must become the utter contrarian to succeed? She should start an organization called 'The Dam Nation', where "D" stands for Devotion instead of mutually assured Destruction. Far be it from me to prove that energy also follows the path of least resistance, for if the universe is expanding, how can the speed of light be constant when miles and seconds are not constant? But if e=mc^n instead of e=mc^2, and n approaches 2 asymptotically, i.e. expandingly, then the great Alma Mater of the Void can contain my impregnable theories. That would also improve my mood, for I am devoted. In Genesis/JoniSys, it states, "In the begynning there was the Void and a smirk appeared on the face of the void and Good saw it and said it was God." Now God had a condition known as priapism (constant erection) since he was now the tongue and teeth beneath the smirk, though he was curvaceous and loquacious and transcendental. So he applied for disability, it being too embarrassing to go to work that day, and that was the end of the first day off and it was goodly guided, as sex should be. And humans have been preoccupied with things that FIT ever since, though they were bet faintly evanescent in the Mind Beauty of that day off=on. Evanescent is a word that relates to the words cellophane, phantom, the old god Phanes, penis and Venus -- as the letters "p", "f" and "v" are phonetically related closely in the old days (among others, eg. "b"). So I'm also a fan of Van the man, though he suffered from vanity for some phenomenal affinities with divinities and fine fantastic finalities; he doesn't try too hard to fix facts. Aristophanes is a good source authority on fiends, funnels and fennel .. if you read him right. People are so interested in word-flowers and the lit lotuses but the well of creation is still deep and muddy. So salmon can smell in parts per billion and deserve our respect. I hope to create a device and then organism which can fully sense-comprehend the entire electromagnetic spectrum and present it to someone such as Hilarity or DiFi. But first I have to work out the thing symbologically and then biosymbologically. It is a problem of curve-fitting algorithms essentially. The fan-shape is both curve and angle and was etymologically recognized as such by the ancients, who gave it the letter "r", eg. Ra, radius, and reism ... but "p" and "r" are PRimary morphemes. So, to pry apart a waveform such as light into n angles is a spermish endeavor for Miss Tereus The Mystrine. Since e= m + c^2 in addition to e = m * c^2, e = m + c^n. That is, energy is mass intact with light-instant(s), where light-instant(s) are rates or event-rates. Refraction is angularity. Fractals are angularities. I sent my fractal necklace spiral of spheroids to the Dean of Math at Cornell but have not heard back; it is the fundamental Chaotic Order of Recycling Theory, which ManGynd will need to sustain Life, esp. diversity. Sensory diversity is energy diversity is intelligence diversity. Our input systems are more refine3d than our output/expressive systems -- language is a young mystical practice compared to scat. The Void is the majority opinion in the universe, i.e. empty death, where "Void" connotes "Word" antithetically; Energy is the minority opinion. So, we humans are all contrarians bound for the great Oval Orifice: De+Votedly. To swim against the void of words in a discussion list is also angularity therefore. So thanks for helping me with my research! And chord-structure, for the above is all yet FAINtly resonant, right? After all, both women and men but dimly realize that clocks are sublimated sex-symbols. Is human comprehension merely music minus time? from the open "PEN" of ... Cath, and Circe, aka Tereus P.S. Anyone ever read "The Myth of Freedom" by Chogyam Trungpa, was it? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 02:15:18 -0500 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today's Library Links: January 29 On January 29 the following articles were published: 1974: "WMMR Retrospective Transcription" - WMMR (Interview - Audio Transcription) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=604 1974: "WMMR Retrospective Transcription (Part 2)" - WMMR (Interview - Audio Transcription) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=945 1975: "Top Women Performers Plan Gala Benefit at U.N" - New York Times (News Item) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=826 1998: "Rummaging Through the Attic" - Cornell Daily Sun (Biography) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=64 ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2004 #27 ******************************** ------- 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?
