Kerry" De-lurking as well to thank you, Kerry, for posting the link to this article. A good read! As to the comment on the lack of "great men," I have a couple of thoughts: one, a bit cynical; the other, not so much so. As for the former: it would not be unlike Joni, as I've come to know her through her music and interviews over the years, to emphasize the importance of "great men" over "great women" in altering society. Joni's a woman who took responsibility for her career and artistic development like few others of her own or any other time. However, she refuses to call herself a "feminist," seems generally to prefer the company of men to women in even non-romantic involvements, and appears--to me, anyway--deferential, at some level, to men. The cynical interpretation of Joni's remark in the _New York_ interview is that she believes that great women ultimately can't change the world. The less cynical interpretation, as may have already been mentioned, is that, while there is a marked shortage of great men nowadays, there is no similar shortage of great women. ;-) Take care, all!

I guess part of what makes her an interesting composer and artist (her unpredictability) is the same thing that makes her such a confounding personality sometimes. At least you have your SEG picture (you know the one I'm talking about!) LOL - Ain't it always the way? I went to see a play last night, and it was in the round, so while everyone is watching the action in the center you also see the folks sitting directly across from you. A couple of times my nose started to itch, but I just let it itch because I didn't want it to appear to the folks sitting across from me that I was digging for gold.

I didn't think people were allowed to touch her (and I presume that would mean, she wouldn't touch them either!) Is this all part of trying to make the royals seem more human? Or do you suppose Liz is a closet Joni-fan?

Les, here's what I hear: "Ever since I was a child, with ribbons, bows and ballet dreams, I've been looking out for love, I've been looking out for love Many times I thought Id seen it, and it knows it might've been it, la la la etc." I've had this recording a long time, it was from a CD bootleg titled "Looking Out For Love" - also was the first time I heard "A Melody In Your Name" (or at least the chunk that was preserved). Sorry to be so slow responding - had to move my son home from college today.

Cute Bob. As if you didn't know who Steve Nash was. In Phoenix now for sure and we miss him in Texas. Heck of a point guard and was in college too. I liked him so much and still do that I have a hard time cheering against him even though they, the Suns, are in a dogfight with the Mavs here. Can't bet against him though and figure they have a heck of a chance to win it all. Would imagine Shaq will have something to say about it though, if he can get over his perpetual injuries long enough to play. Wilt he is not. mack Original Message: - ----------------- From: Bob Muller scjoniguy@yahoo.com Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 16:04:06 -0700 (PDT) To: hell@ihug.co.nz, LesIrvin@jmdl.com, joni@smoe.org Subject: RE: Where's Steve Nash when you need him?
