The gay pop icon admits he may have taken her comments the wrong way, but he's still stung by what he believes was a veiled insult. He recalls, "I told her I love her records and her reply was, 'I love your videos.' "I'm sure she meant to be nice but I thought, 'Agh! You bitch.'

As the article said " he may have taken her comments the wrong way," it's not something I would think Joni would say. She may trash the music industry, but I can't imagine that she would say anything to offend a fan of hers.

And if she *really* didn't like his music, how is she going to sit through his vids? I'd have liked to be a fly on the wall during the exchange, anyway, if only to see with a million eyes the expression on his face... :-) - -Julius - -----Original Message----- From: FMY FL To: JRMCo1; joni@smoe.org Sent: Sun, 3 Jul 2005 8:50:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time Subject: Re: Pet Shop Boy peeved!

If you've heard one of their songs you've heard them all, IMHO. It's a cute schtick once, but....The only dance music I have much appreciation for is old disco because it was so campy and silly.

People would talk about many important things, and you had some very good talkers. They're not allowed on now. Or they're set loose in the Fox Zoo, in which you have a number of people who pretend to be journalists but are really like animals. Each one has his own noise--there's the donkey who brays, there's the pig who squeals. Each one is a different animal in a zoo, making a characteristic noise. The result is chaos, which is what is intended. They don't want the people to know anything, and the people don't." - --Gore Vidal Mike Friedman mike@pinataperspective.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Jul 2005 22:39:18 -0700 From: Rick and Susan Subject: Joni loves Readers digest The July "Canadian edition of Reader's digest has an interview with Joni in which she "muses on art, life and being from Saskatchewan." I've just skimmed it but it looks good. Some quotes: "Jewel sells 15 million records, I sell 500,000. From my perspective, my influence is negligible." "I haven't [done any songwriting} since '97." "I would have to have a spiritual breakthrough [to write again]." I'd love to transcribe the whole article but I can't see that happening soon (not for a couple of weeks anyway).
