(Or is it only a People Who Have Undergone Or Who Will Undergo A Conoscopy thing?) Holy crap, doesn't anyone proofread these things? At least the Miles song and album are referenced correctly. I read the erroneous info. during my first pass through the CD & booklet, but it escaped me somehow (and I'm an editor, so maybe that tells you something). Maybe they'll fix this when they print the second batch of 1,000,000 copies. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 08:34:20 -0500 From: "David Henderson" Subject: joni art posters CATHERINE WROTE: >I would love it if Joni would produce some large-size >posters of her art.

Javex is a brand of bleach in Canada, maybe elsewhere as well. The bottles could have ended up being tossed into the ocean by someone who doesn't give a rat's arse about the environment, or, more likely, may have been used as a floatation device or bumpers for someone's boat.

Does anyone know if anything at all exists out there? During her last tour for the BSN orchestral album, she was selling four different prints of her art from that album. Some of them were signed, some not. They were $100 at the concerts, and quickly sold out. In addition, in the past, she has made very small editions of some of her artwork and given them to her friends. Occasionally both will show up on ebay, for big bux. Her original art has also shown up there a time or two, for even bigger bux. A better bet might be to snag the Mendel Art Gallery book "Voices: The Work of Joni Mitchell which was produced for her gallery show in Saskatoon a few years ago, and is seen on ebay for more reasonable prices.

I > can't keep up with this list! I haven't heard of it, but it says publ. date Mar. 05. So there are recent pics of Joni in it? What's it like? Product Description: Ask some women their age, and they'll demur. Ask others, like Joni Mitchell or Cybill Shepherd, and they'll take up a sword. In this inspirational book, 50 women ranging in age from their 40s to their 60s-including movie and television personalities, musicians, and Olympic athletes-are presented in stunning photographs holding a sword to symbolize their passionate and courageous approach to aging. Their stories are told alongside the pictures, capturing the experiences of the 38 million women of the Baby Boom generation who are challenging the age barrier and living the second half of their lives to the fullest. Coauthors Nancy Alspaugh and Marilyn Kentz are founders of the Fearless Aging movement, which encourages women to discard outdated views of getting older and celebrate who they are today. Joan Lunden, Leeza Gibbons, Shari Belafonte, Erin Brockovich, and Native American medicine woman Brooke Medicine Eagle are among the women who share their feelings about how they have become wiser and more powerful with age. The book concludes with an empty page for one final woman: a place where her photo can be added and her story can be told. As a tribute to a friend or loved one, this book is one of the best gifts a fearless woman can receive. AUTHOR BIO: Nancy Alspaugh, 49, is the Emmy Award-winning producer of numerous network and nationally syndicated programs, including NBC's long-running talk show Leeza.Marilyn Kentz, 57, is a member of The Mommies, the comedy duo whose stage show led to a television sitcom, a Showtime comedy special, and the ABC talk show Caryl and Marilyn: Real Friends. Together Nancy and Marilyn have published Not Your Mother's Midlife: A Ten-Step Guide to Fearless Aging and created a stage show about fearless aging. Mary Ann Halpin, 53, is an acclaimed photographer best known for her celebrity portraits and album and CD covers, along with a vast body of other work.

What's it > like? They appear recent-ish, yes. Most women only get one page facing a sort of profile of their career, but Joni has that photo and also a photo up by the table of contents or copyright page or somesuch front matter. There's also a smaller pic from, I'd guess, late the late 1960s. The overview of her career didn't look overly insightful, but there's a quote from Joni that sounds very much like her contrarian self. She says something to the effect that she wants no part of this youth obsessed culture, trying to hold onto youth with surgery and the like. She finished up by saying losing your hormones should be seen as a time of freedom. I'm paraphrasing, of course. - -Neil Neil Ellis Orts 713-838-1787 Houston, TX keep up with my creative endeavors--join my newsletter list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/neonews ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 23:45:46 -0500 From: kjhsf@aol.com Subject: Rosie on Joni Somehow, I wound up on Rosie O'Donnell's blog at onceadored.blogpot.com. She rants and raves in an odd free-form style about many topics, and if you scroll down past her observations about Kirstie Alley,Condi Rice, etc., there is a nice little section where she talks about and quotes Joni's Sire of Sorrow. In fact, the blog name, "onceadored" comes from said song. It's kind of cute how she credits Joni and in parenthesis says "(all bow)". I appreciate her reverence for Joni, though the rest of her stuff, part poetry, part running monolgue, makes me wonder about her mental state.
