My guess, Walt, is cocaine. I think a lack of cocaine when one is addicted would make you tired more than heroin. I've never really known anyone who is addicted to cocaine but, have known plenty of heroin addicts and when they don't get any for a while, they're just very jittery. As cocaine puts you on more of a high (buzz), it stands to reason, you would become tired when you come down. That's my 2 cents.

I agree that the players on HOSL really made big contributions. A couple of months back I wrote something like "C&S had 20 somethings playing at jazz. On HOSL, Joni got accomplished jazz players and gave them some room to stretch out." I like the sidemen on HOSL much more. I love C&S too of course, but it's more of a producer's album. IMO, HOSL is more of a collaboration. It doesn't hurt that Joni's stories on HOSL were all about deep themes too. IMO, HOSL is a rich work of literature / music / visual art. It transcends pop music in every way. Sincerely, Jim Covington, KY Cornish Rob said, >Hissing through the years> Until last night, not being the most avid lyric-sheet pursuer, I had been labouring under the impression, on Edith and the Kingpin, which is one of my top five fave Jonis and which I have heard at least 1.75m times, that the line "Women he has taken/Grow old too soon" was in fact "Women he has taken/Though all too soon". I still prefer my original interpretation. Anyone out there heard the original demos of Hissing? Re-listening to the complete job last night reminded me the debt JM owes the musicians that, like Messrs Kay, Payne and Davis on Astral Weeks, transformed the bony blueprints into something absolutely unique. The extended fadeout to Edith and the Kingpin, and the way Boho Zone bleeds into Harry's House, struck me anew as utterly inspired.> ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 09:52:21 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Early Coyote -- What a find!!! I am not able to download this...anyone else having problems? Solutions? >This week's MP3: Almost certainly the first ever public performance of "Coyote"! This was performed while Joni was traveling with the Rolling Thunder Revue in Augusta, Maine on November 26, 1975. Joni introduced the song by saying that she had written it "yesterday".

I've never done heroin, but I used to do coke fairly regularly, and the lines in the last stanza just seem like coke to me: the wires humming in the walls, the reference to snow, and especially the sentiment "his crime belongs." (like somewhere you know it's completely fucked up - a crime, but it just seems so right anyway) djp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 17:06:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Gross Subject: Is the risk worth the reward?
