Maybe one reason for the slow response is that it's a local charity. This list is international. It's a wonderful prize but who's going to pay for the air tickets to New York from wherever? Now, if that was part of the prize...I'd donate money to those little American kids. As it is, I have enough trouble keeping up my two cents contribution to prevent poverty in my own country. Then there's AIDS, disaster relief, sending optometrists to India, funding the republican movement...the list goes on. Good luck to those who donate. Enjoy the show, you lucky yanks.

Dear All I pose the most serious existential question of the decade. Apart from smelling of stale cigarettes, Joni sings that she misses her 'fancy French cologne' in Carey. I wonder which brand she favoured then. Joni states that 'sensuality and sensation'are important to her, so how she smells is surely an important part of that. So which French smell was it?

Article from thestar.com TORONTO STAR http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Articl e_Type1&c=Article&cid=1135515613797&call_pageid=968332188774& col=968350116467 Who is the wittiest Westerner of them all? Dec. 26, 2005. SASKATOON-He was named the greatest Canadian. Could Tommy Douglas also be Saskatchewan's biggest hoot? A non-profit organization based in Alberta is conducting a census of the most humorous people of the past 100 years in Saskatchewan and Alberta. "We're not looking for a comic," said Derek Wilken, the executive "dictator" of the Cheers Project Humour-Language Society. "We're looking for someone who created the most humour." Wilken will tally the nominations and announce a winner from each province after the Jan. 23 federal election. "We've got names like Tommy Douglas out of Saskatchewan just because of the cartoons that were created of this guy, all the editorials and that kind of stuff and the fact that he really was a very funny man in his speeches," said Wilken, who was born in Saskatchewan but raised in Alberta. In November 2004, Douglas was named the greatest Canadian in a contest run by the CBC. Other nominees for the most humorous person from Saskatchewan include Jeanne Sauvi, former governor general; comic actor Brent Butt; ex-premier Grant Devine; journalist Allan Fotheringham; musician Joni Mitchell; and actor Leslie Nielsen. There's even a bit of a blast from the past, Regina gas bar owner Dick Assman, whose surname became grist for David Letterman's mill in the '90s. So far, Douglas and Butt are running neck-and-neck in the Saskatchewan race. In Alberta, Premier Ralph Klein is heading the pack by a big margin, said Wilken.

"Hold me like holy water" -- treat me kind, love me tender, love me true: love is precious. The longing (for protection and healing) and yearning we hear in these lyrics (she wants, she needs, surround me, hold me, take me away, etc.) somehow make me fly away to another song I always loved, covered so beautifully by our friend Bonnie: "....Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold on to To believe in this livin Is just a hard way to go..."
