[Nuriel Tobias ] Re: The Sire Of Criticism (Britney's Sad Song) now... I think [Nuriel To] Joni's songwriting-American or Universal? ["Laurent Olszer" ] nucular [Kate ] Re: Joni (?) and Judy on Dolly's upcoming CD [Mike Friedman Subject: Joni's songwriting - American or Universal? Been meaning to ask this for a long time... What do you think? Is Joni an "American" songwriter or a "Universal" one? Yes, i know most of you would find this question silly, and tell me that "But OF COURSE she's a universal artist! She's every man's and woman's on earth inner voice!" The only "problem" is that i, being a non-American Joni fan (same as the "problem" may be that most of you are Americans, and even if you're not to believe that "America=The world", you may not be too objective) - i sometimes find that lots of her songs/lyrics are very "American", which makes it easier for Americans to relate to and understand them, and for a guy like me, based in the middle-east, they're more like postcards from America, rather than universal "messages". Hejira, for example. No need to say that it's an amazing album, that - in case you're a non-American listner who understands English good enough, and have the chance to be a jmdl member so you can find answers to terms you otherwise would've never understood - may seem to be a "universal" album, but would i be totally wrong to think that it's even more of an "American" album, as in a VERY "American" one? (BSN - the album that is, may serve as my example for a totally "universal" album, to help you understand my question). So much of her songwriting is filled with "American" landscapes, "American" folks, "American" lifestyle, "American" way of speaking, "American" events, "American" politics, etc' - that i sometimes envy all you American Joni fans out there for being able to REALLY know what she's talking about, unlike someone like me, who sometimes can only close his eyes and imagine it. Hope you understood my question and i'm really looking forward to read your opinions. Thanks, Yours, Nuriel p.s. Just wanted to add, that another confusing "problem" for me in finding the answer to this, is that English is indeed a "universal" thing, and since Joni writes in English, one may find her songs "universal" for that reason only. But let's pretend that Joni was to write in Hebrew (a very non-universal language), about the same stuff, but with all the American-wise lyrics turned into Israeli-wise lyrics - would anyone even dream of calling her songwriting "universal"?...

Though I did not purchase anything this weekend just wondering if people are at all interested and will make the offer in the future of picking things up without any extra cost to the individual you only pay what it cost me and shipping. Things this weekend: Night Ride Home (Special Packaging) $10.00 Help Me 45 (Spanish release) Two other 45's (Portugal and Spanish Releases) Again I enjoy looking through these albums, 45's cd's and other things so if you are the least bit interested let me know and I will post these things in the future. Craig Also, Sam Phillips at the Cactus Cafe was great, if you get a chance to catch her on this tour I highly recommend it.

Is there anyone that is willing to pick up the ball and put this together so it will actually happen? I know there are many people that would like to see Jonifest continue. If it doesn't pan out for another venue, there is the possibility of having Fest back at Full Moon around April of 2006. Since we have already been there several years, it would be very easy to put this together, and I would be willing to get back on board with this since I will have had a good long rest in between. Also, because it would be off-season, the price would most likely be considerably less. For those of you that would even consider going to another Jonifest, please e-mail me back with the following: 1) Do you prefer Jonifest back at Full Moon, or another place in the country? (Also indicate no preference if that is the case.) 2) Would you be willing to be in charge of putting together a Jonifest in another location and making it happen? 3) What are the most important factors in attending Jonifest for you? (Price, location transportation, etc.) Thanks and hugs, Ashara Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ADVERTISEMENT - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- Yahoo!

My 1st Joni was Hejira when I was 17 with school-level english and had only spent 1 month in the U.S. Songs like Strange Boy or Blue Motel Room were easy to understand nonetheless because they talk about relationships. Sure, when I toured the U.S. the following year in a Greyhound bus I felt funny going through Savannah or Memphis (Beale street), so that's the "postcard" effect you're referring to. Joni has increased my level of american culture (like: who's WC Handy? for example) but IMO the core Joni does not require one to be american to appreciate it, since the topics are universal in nature. You may miss a few details, but not the important messages. Your other question about english as a universal language is another topic. Whether we like it or not the american culture is universal. I recall my 1st impression of L.A. was: looks very familiar after watching american TV series. So if one lives in a part of the world where there are american films on TV, chances are we all have the same cultural references. On the one hand it's pitiful because some may argue it's the lowest common denominator. I look at the positive effect: we share values with more people on the planet today than 50 years ago.
