Jacky ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2005 19:12:11 +0200 (CEST) From: Oddmund Kaarevik Subject: open letter dear joni mitchell. i wanna thank you for making such great music. so massive texts. your art will go on and on. i'm sure. your music is whatever gets me through the day, it is' really. :-) And i want to thank for that. "Thank you, Joni, India, Canada, , etc " You Are Undoubtedly Queen Of Mind Beauty ( I have to buy a stickers from Patti, I love that black one)and you know i dream paprika plains now. although i've never seen them, you make me see them. they're here now, inside my head. and the lake and the river, and you skating away on it like a black crow. or hissing my summer lawns, oh Sharon, Oh Joni, Oh Canada. I don't know what I would do if I was forced to quit listening to your life-giving music, what kind of substitute would keep me alive, i really don't know. But I have your music,(and other mad people like me right here on the jmdl) We come for conversation, you know. Wonder what you think about us maniacs devoting ourselves to your texts, your voice, your music. You probably laugh about it all. And you know we laugh too. We smile. We dance. We sing, because you made us all come in from the cold, into your very warm arrangments. . . And that is so inspiring, so precious to me. Patti Smith said in an interview, that she was very depressed in her youth and wanted to die. But she couldn't die untill she heard the next 'stones album. And I can't die because your music gives me so much life, inspiration, joy. Not that I want to die, but if I wanted, I still haven't listened much to "Taming the tiger" or "Song to a seagull" , and "Don Juans reckless daughter" or "Clouds" or your early unreleased songs;So, I have to live! You makes me wanna live. To love. To play pinn-ball. And I am ever so grateful. Thank you! Your sharp observaton and very insightsful texts is something very seldom found in the pop-industry. Through the years I have observed that musicians in all music genres admire you and your work, and point to you when they're asked for people who have inspired and influenced them. And I know that you, our lady of duality, not always appreciate to be set togethet with these other artists, and that's okay. But we love you, we really do! And I'm warm now. I have come in from the cold. You made my day, once more My candles are burning here in the room My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light.

Finally her own gallery, too? How wonderful! - -Julius _____ Mendel on the move?: Art gallery asked to consider possible River Landing home Lana Haight The StarPhoenix Saturday, October 08, 2005 Saskatoon's River Landing cultural centre, approved in principle by city council just last month, could already be getting a makeover. The Mendel Art Gallery has been approached about abandoning its $18-million expansion and moving to the proposed centre, says a report to city councillors. "The Mendel board has indicated an interest in this option and we will proceed to do a full evaluation," said the report, written by city manager Phil Richards. It will be received by councillors when they meet as an executive committee on Tuesday. The $31.3-million River Landing project, which is to house Joni Mitchell, Meewasin Valley Authority (MVA) and Tourism Saskatoon visitor centres as well as Persephone Theatre, was panned by several councillors at their Sept. 19 meeting. After much debate, the draft footprint, uses and design of the centre that would sit on the site of the former Gathercole building, at the corner of 19th Street and Third Avenue, received council's approval in principle. Now, councillors are being told the plan may be amended, with the Mendel with an expanded Joni Mitchell centre replacing the MVA visitor centre. The MVA could then move into the vacated Mendel, according to the report. The alternate proposal could also incorporate an aboriginal theme in what's being billed as a destination complex. "There was a number of suggestions made at city council and elsewhere that perhaps we should do more in light of the fact that we never received any offi cial applications or responses to our (expressions of interest) that pertain to an aboriginal destination complex or theme, that perhaps we should pursue one instead," Chris Dekker, manager of special projects with the City of Saskatoon, said in an interview. The possible changes are mentioned in a report that informs council that a Vancouver-based tourism consultant has been hired to examine the feasibility of the River Landing complex. The feasibility study, which will cost between $15,000 and $20,000, has always been planned for this stage of the project, says Dekker. While some may see this latest news as another setback in the development of the riverbank after decades of talk, Dekker believes city administrators are being prudent in investigating all options before a fi nal decision is made by council. "We're very much testing the original proposal. We're not just saying, 'Oh, forget that. Let's go with the Mendel idea.' "But I would think that most people would agree that if there are any other things you want to take a look at, that you should engage those services while (the consultant) is in the fi eld," he said. No one from the Mendel, the MVA or Wanuskewin Heritage Centre would comment on the report. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2005 #287 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
