Well thats all for today. Glad you people love Sondre, I love him too, extremerly charming boy best Oddmund ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2005 14:04:43 -0000 From: "Ross, Les" Subject: RE: Does anyone have? Joni @ N.O. Jazz Festival May 6, 1995 ...where's a chap to acquire a copy of this remastered version of the N.O. gig? (off list to me if you can help with this.) Cheers and many thanks Les (London) BTW there is a remastered version of that show done by our own MarkD that sounds a lot better than other versions I have heard. Also at that point TCCOL was still called Loves Cries. Best Paz ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2005 12:09:11 -0500 From: "John T. Folden" Subject: Re: Does anyone have? Joni @ N.O.

I was referring to Maggie herself for the most part, and to some extent Freeman's character and Eastwood's. Moreover, my point (poorly articulated, admittedly) was that most all popular cinema these days are tales of the rich and their problems- with lavish homes, fancy cars and nary an economic worry in the world. It just seems to me that a movie like this confers a measure of soul status to a multitude of working class heroes, poor working women who pull themselves up by their own bootstraps- difficulty and obstacles be damned, even if these hardships are embodied by her own family. My own mother was like that...but, I liked that Maggie's heroics and transcendence had absolutely nothing to do with motherhood or "boyfriends." Having said that, I will agree completely that the characters that are Maggie's family are mere caricatures, really. Not well-developed at all. The viewer is given no clue to what their motivations might be, except abject greed. The tired trailer trash stereotype garnered from the Jerry Springer generation. It's a glaring weakness in the film. But it's one I'm prepared to overlook because of the stellar performances of the three main characters in the film. "Million Dollar Baby" is Clint, Hillary and Morgan's baby alone, really. I prefer to think of the other characters theatrically...like the three witches in Macbeth, for example...of limited signifcance...as enjoyable for comic relief and contrast as they are ignorable. They just represent known evils. They appear during act or scene changes. They are for "meanwhile, back at the ranch...". MDB succeeds because it is effective at mood shift and emotional reversal of expectation. As for Danger, he was there to accentuate and reenforce the to-the-bone goodness of Freeman's character, nothing more. This penniless old black half-blind, recovering alcoholic who coulda been a contender, is perhaps half the man he once was: he's been battered and bloodied, sometimes even by Eastwood's character, but he's not embittered and his head is unbowed. He's a living blues song: all heart and hurt. And he won't stand by to see anyone beat down a weaker man for cruel sport. Danger's dream to be champ is a constant reminder of how he squandered his own. Also, Danger represents the can-do don't give up, don't give up, don't ever get up ethic, which I take heart in. It has nothing to do with brightness. Freeman's character is his little mentally challenged brother's keeper. What's more beautiful than that? In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Thanks for asking about that, Mike. I hope this clarifies my meaning. - -Julius ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2005 21:14:52 -0000 From: "Ric Robinson" Subject: Hello from UK & Starbucks Hello there, Newbie here, my profile is in the gallery if you're interested. Anyway, I thought I'd post to say hello and to ask if anyone knows how I can get the Starbucks CD as they're not stocking it over here at the moment and the website won't ship outside the US.

I live way out in the sticks-I could mail order you one, but it would be about $6 to ship to me, then another $9 or $10 to ship to UK. Good luck-btw there are 2 different discs, one is Joni's music, as chosen by friends and musicians, the other is "Artists Choice", which is various songs by others, chosen by Joni, $13 & $15 respectively.

So, if anyone can help I'd be very grateful! I also have a very interesting cover of BSN on the way ... in Welsh !!! Will hopefully be able to post full details in a week or so and may have MP3 available too. Stay tuned.

I'd be happy to do the same for you - the cost breaks down like this: CD: $14.95 Airmail: $4.00 Padded Mailer: $.40 Hearing Joni's fave tracks...priceless! If that offer interests you, let me know. I do have a Paypal account so you can transfer funds that way or just mail cash. And as the Joni covers Wiz of the group I'm interested in your Welsh BSN...who's the artist may I ask? I wonder if it's one of the 390 I've already identified (2 more today!) Bob NP: Big Yellow Taxi, "Black Crow" Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
