I had noted earlier that those lines also refer to "songs", which "are like tattoos". Quite the metaphor. Bobsart I had missed your comment bfore, apparently. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right. Thanks for sharing that with me. For such a short song, it certainly has layers upon layers.

I caught the late edition of 'The National' last night. Living close to Canada has its advantages for a Joni fan, for sure! I think many of us feel the way I do about Joni getting this honor and some of the other accolades she has received in recent years. After telling people for so many years how brilliant and exceptional she is, we can now give out with a big fat, 'See?! I told you so!' And it's damn satisfying! The segment is a real treat. There were several moments when my eyes got moist. The affection between Joni & Kilauren is very evident. Seeing my brother with his grown children and their children sometimes gives me a little pang that I am missing something in life even though I know in my heart of hearts that I was not meant to be a father. (This has very little to do with my sexuality and is almost entirely due to my temperament and personality.) I am so happy for Joni that she has her family now. I know it means a great deal to her now in these later years of her life.

She jumps off stage as you walk towards the front after watching herfor a few minutes and she's gracious and calm but a little disappointed in the size of the hall and this sorta puts you out as you've organised the whole event, even though you haven't told her it's you that's paying for the whole gig. Or is it just me? I think I need to read more Freud or Jung or Castaneda... Much Joni Jamie Zoob mackoliver wrote: Dear all. I have lost my virginity.

In my dweams, Joni revisits DJRD. She hires one of George Martin's engineers to identify which piano parts are slightly out of perfect pitch and isolate them. Then they use that new-fangled pitch box to adjust them. In my dream, the bonus track is a reworking of Paprkia Plains using all of the original text. After that, the unused piano parts that didn't fit. The original album would be a DVD-Audio / CD dual layer. That would be cool. But, she's given us PLENTY! All the best, Jim PS, I love the internet. I put "Our Lady of Duality" into Yahoo! and the *first hit* was my essay of the same name on jonimitchell.com www.jonimitchell.com/Duality.html Now playing at full volume in the living room is something I just got as a used CD: Lucinda Williams's "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road". You guys were right about this one. This is a really good roots-rock album. How come no one told me that tracks were sweetened by Roy Bittan?

Joni says she might 'tweak it for the next release'.> ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Jan 2005 15:48:52 -0800 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: Now Fanta/Coke Reuben Bell wrote: > The new Fanta ads at the cinema are fantastic!

I LOVE > Joni's Geffen years! We could always start up that debate again-the last time I played DED it was just as bad as I remembered it! Reuben, I don't know if you were here awhile back when it was revealed by Simon that Joni considers the Geffen-era stuff her best work. In any case, nice to have you back- RR ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2005 23:24:14 -0600 From: "mackoliver" Subject: Re: Was Re: joni-virginity Now Dreams My joni dream was rather odd. I first remember being by her bedside. She was in the bed and I got the feeling I was the servant of some kind. I accidentally spilled water on the bed and she became very pissy about it demanding I get her dry linen. The bedspread was some kind of marvelous (unable to help myself faggy term) Joni item. Dreams being as nonsensical as they are I then got the feeling that I lived in the building as did she and we would soon be fast friends. She returned, we chatted, I awakened. Very odd. mack np: Gino Vannelli and mama cass - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Zubairi" To: "mackoliver" ; "joni" Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 2:27 PM Subject: Was Re: joni-virginity Now Dreams > Hi Mack > > Does anyone else get the Joni-Dream where you're in a theatre, or concert hall and it's fairly small and it's empty and there's Joni, doing a soundcheck.
