Carpenters did the title song.) From: MINGSDANCE@aol.com Mark, what a flashback! I was a bedwetter at a young age and had felt such pain as I watched that movie, the ending was oh so sad. It made me always root for the underdog, Peace, Mingus I wasn't a bed wetter but something about those boys and the way they were treated struck a very deep chord with me. I was in high school when I saw this movie. I went to the local shopping mall theatre to see it by myself. I went to a lot of movies by myself in those days. I remember trying to restrain myself from running out of the mall to get to the car because I was on the verge of tears and at 17 or 18 it would have been highly uncool to be seen crying in the mall. I got into the car and burst out sobbing. Mark E. in Seattle ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 13:50:26 -0600 From: "mackoliver" Subject: Re: Bless the Beast Sure Mark. Sometime in the seventies. My brother was visiting for the summer and we were walking aroud town. Happened upon the drive in movie where it was showing. We just walked in the back way, naughty but we didn't even realize that at the time, and watched most of the movie. Had a profound effect on him, the movie.

I agree, it's a very "happy" song, which is unusual for our Joan! I do love that song as well, but still rate Chinese Cafe as the best on the album - it's the lyrics that do it for me. Especially that first line, "Caught in the middle", which sums up that middle-aged feeling perfectly. Not that I'm there yet (at least I don't think I am!) but it's looming over the horizon! > Keep warm (minus 51 here with the windchill - I am not making this up), It's 23 Celcius here today (74 F) and a gorgeous sunny day. I might go for a swim in a friend's pool later, although I'll need to cover up because I got a little sunburnt playing golf yesterday.... jealous yet?!

I'm sure someone has already answered your post but I'll chime in anyway. (Bob Muller in South Carolina is usually very quick.) Joni's retired from the writing songs but she did a short tour in 2000 to support the "Both Sides Now" collection. Travel is harder on some people than others and Joni usually gets sick. She doesn't care for live performing much. There are some audience recordings in circulation of the "Both Sides Now" tour and many others. You can send me some blank cassettes or blank CDs with return postage within the US, if you promise not to try to sell them. Write to me off-list if you want some. Now I need to ask a favor. When you send a reply to the list, would you take out all of the quoted material in your reply before you start typing? If you don't it ends up sending page after page back to the list. Your reply automatically contains the entire Digest so you need to delete it. An easy way to avoid that extra step is to open a New email (instead of a Reply). Address it to joni@smoe.org and you'll be set. Thanks. All the best, Lama Covington, KY, US Dennis Derkacs <> asked, in part, >Why is Joni not singing? I understand that she has had some vocal cord problems.> ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2005 10:36:40 +1100 From: Mark-Leon Thorne Subject: The Same Situation Hi everyone.

Mark, I'm pretty sure that the footage comes from her 1974 London appearance which was filmed and excerpts have appeared on other sources as well, mainly The Old Grey Whistle Test BBC show.

"Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King" SHED A LITTLE LIGHT :-( Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King and recognize that there are ties between us, all men and women living on the Earth. Ties of hope and love, sister and brotherhood, that we are bound together in our desire to see the world become a place in which our children can grow free and strong. We are bound together by the task that stands before us and the road that lies ahead. We are bound and we are bound. There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest There is a passage through the darkness and the mist And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest Shed a little light, oh Lord, so that we can see, just a little light, oh Lord. Wanna stand it on up, stand it on up, oh Lord, wanna walk it on down, shed a little light, oh Lord. Can't get no light from the dollar bill, don't give me no light from a TV screen. When I open my eyes I wanna drink my fill from the well on the hill, do you know what I mean? Shed a little light, oh Lord, so that we can see, just a little light, oh Lord. Wanna stand it on up, stand it on up, oh Lord, wanna walk it on down, shed a little light, oh Lord. There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist, there is a hunger in the center of the chest. There is a passage through the darkness and the mist and though the body sleeps the heart will never rest. Oh, Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King and recognize that there are ties between us. All men and women living on the Earth, ties of hope and love, sister and brotherhood. andmoreagain, - ---------------- simon PS: i DON'T have a Dream. i live in Amerika http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/mlk/sfeature/sf_video.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 22:09:59 -0800 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: Tsunami telethon on NBC was produced by none other than Larry Klein. Annie Lennox solo at the piano singing 'Why' was transcendent and made Madonna (who was the lead act singing 'Imagine') look like an amateur. Diana Ross closed the show and was the only performer who displayed obvious diva-itis. Come to think of it, Annie could have wiped the floor up with her too. Nora Jones uncharacteristically played guitar and her song was very beautiful. Eric Clapton and Roger Waters both played acoustic guitars while Roger sang 'Wish You Were Here.'
