This song is very poingnant in todays society and has as much meaning now as maybe... then. We also discussed "Man of God" by Eliza Gilkyson and "Dear Mr. President" by Pink. One gentleman said "Okay how do you expect me to listen to a political statement by Pink when the song before is called "Stupid Girl"? I replied, "Hey the Indigo Girls sing on it."

Oh no! Help me! Love is a story told, so I will share this one with you. Background: Last year, when my beloved department head moved to CA, I decided that his farewell gift would be a scholarship for study abroad students in his name. (He and I really believe in study abroad programs. I was a free man in Paris myself in 74-75). I collected lots of money, and now, next week, we are awarding the scholarship for the first time. So, I'm on the phone w/ our Study Abroad Director, working out some details, and SOMEHOW Joni's name flew out of my mouth (imaginez-vous!) and he said: "I love Joni Mitchell! Do you really like Joni Mitchell?" WHAT????????????? Well, let me tell YOU, brother!!! Poor guy got an earful from me: about the Tribute, how a bunch of us all met up there and Cassy's JMDL pins, Julius and Joni in the elevator, the JMDL, the gallery, concerts seen, her genius, her lyrics, Hejira, Hissing, Mingus, "and you know...." (LOL...at first he thought that *I* started the JMDL!). Now here are the characters in the story (in the email I sent them, which is pasted below). I've given them aliases. Mark -- Study Abroad Director Roger -- former dept. head, now in California (doesn't know TOO much about Joni) Francesca -- new dept. head (knows less than David, but I'm working on her!) Ready for this crazy email? I am sooo unprofessional today! Yikes! - ---------------------------------------- (reader beware: tone is lighthearted, and downright silly) Hi Mark & Roger & Francesca: Good! We have a winner! I'm so glad that this idea "...came to pass Like lightening striking from above Electric flash Just like lightening striking from above..." (-JM) has come to fruition and a real person will be studying abroad thanks to Roger. And guess what, Roger and Francesca? I just found out that Mark loves Joni, too! You two are soooo OUT of it!!!! ( "I don't care. Baby you're so square." But I still like you.) We are going to start some Joni Mitchell Study Abroad Programs....."Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam, or maybe I'll go to Rome" or a "Grecian isle" or a "Free Man in Paris" tour, or the "So I bought me a ticket I caught a plane to Spain" program, or the "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" program.....the possibilities are endless. What do you say, Mark? "Laughing it all away...". Patti P., in full-blown JMOCD today ; ) P.S. Roger, aren't you glad you're in California "just at this moment of the world"? "California, ohhhh California I'm comin' home....." - ------------------- and then the "reply" emails started rolling in....more later. Love, Patti P. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 20:30:23 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: Joni Mitchell Study Abroad Programs From my totally unprofessional JMOCDed email about Study Abroad Programs came the following replies. I am laughing it all away in the Humanities building today! Roger (old dept. head) and Francesca (new dept. head) and Mark (the Study Abroad Director -- I'm still surprised by his Joniness, heretofore unknown to me!) and I are going back and forth with emails: - --------------------- Mark: Or how about Detroit in '68? Or California, ah but California! - ------------------- Mark, again: Then again, there is Canada! - -------------- Roger, from California: Dear All: I think you are all going loony tunes back there: beware of Patti and Joni. It is a slippery slope. That's all I have to say. Roger - ---------------- then Francesca chimes in, ready to play: Yup: since I am a "square Baby" am thinking of "buying me a ticket to a >Grecian isle" but "may be I'll go to Rome first" - --------------- Mark: Don't let Roger get under your skin: he is just a "mean ole Daddy" even if "he is out of sight!" - ---------------- then me: Don't worry, Mark. I could drink a case of David and I'd still be on my feet. (Even if he is out in California kissing sunset pigs!) - --------------- Mark wrote: But you'd better get out your cane! - -------------- Mark (he's really getting into this! LOL...): And by the way, doesn't Joni make "hell" seem "like the hippest place to go"? - --------------- Me: Well I don't think so But I'm gonna take a look around it. - ---------------- Okay. That's it for now. Maybe it's not that funny. Maybe you had to be here having these little blasts interrupt your workaday world, but I sure had fun with it today. Nothing like a little Joni in the ole workplace! Bon weekend, tout le monde!
