Yes, gossipy in a good way and very well written by rock 'n' roll book standards. I recommend it. I also read Michael Walker's _Laurel Canyon_ more narrowly focused and just ok compared to the Hoskyns. Plus the Hoskyns has high Joni content, some of it derived from a personal interview. It's also really sad to read how all that collective promise basically went up in a cloud of blow. (The rise and fall plot is common to both books.) Some people read detective novels in the summer, I read rock 'n' roll books. What's a literature professor supposed to do for fun, anyway? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of kbhla@sbcglobal.net Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 12:29 AM To: joni@smoe.org Cc: Randy Remote Subject: This just in... I read a review of Hotel California recently (can't recall where) and there was some Joni quoting in it. The impression I got was that is was gossipy in a good way ;-) I'm glad for the reminder to order it.

Jerry, did you already 'review' Rufus' Carnegie Hall show here? if so, I missed it! Please write me? I was there both nights... Extraordinarily fabulous! ~Richard Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 08:02:39 -0400 (EDT) From: "Gerald A. Notaro" Subject: Leonard Cohen film From Rolling Stone: The Partisans Performances mostly killer, interviews filler, in Leonard Cohen doc Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man Directed by Lian Lunson About two-thirds into this rather grating hagiography, U2's Bono truncates his spew of superlatives, makes his best cut-the-crap face, and asks if we can "get serious" for a moment. Get serious? This Last Waltzlike doc is almost funereal, full of reverent banalities spliced between overly folksy takes on melancholic Leonard Cohen bombshells. At the film's core is the "Came So Far for Beauty" Cohen tribute concert held last year in Sydney, for which producer Hal Willner organized a lineup of musicians to interpret Cohen's songs. Always loving but at times soporific, these renditions range from a dull Beth Orton version of "Sisters of Mercy" to an unironically anthemic "Anthem" by Julie Christensen and Perla Batalla. Kate and Anna McGarrigle can usually be counted on for loopy banter, but aside from breezy-bitchy Rufus Wainwright, who also delivers a musical highlight with "Chelsea Hotel". ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 18:17:58 -0400 From: "Scott and Jody" Subject: Re: This just in... and DJRD - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenny Goodspeed" To: "Kerry" ; Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 3:07 PM Subject: Re: This just in... and DJRD > cool! thanks kerry. sounds like perfect summer reading. don't lurk for too > long - it's nice to have different voices chime in. and here's one now... > : ) > > i just picked up DJRD on CD finally. though i had it on vinyl, i never > really delved into it and so this is the summer to do so. i'm really > loving the sounds and it seems the perfect soundtrack to drive around on > muggy summer evenings. actually HOSL is the best for this purpose, but > this is damn close. i like the loose arrangements and her dissonant > melodies. the sense of humor. > > okay, i don't grasp the purpose of 'the 10th world' on here and have > skipped over it all but once, so if someone wants to explain that to me > i'd much appreciate it. > > i don't have much "new to me" joni left. just 'Chalkmark' and i'm not > sure i want to delve into that at all. never say never i guess. > > jenny > > > Kerry wrote: > My apologies.

As far as staying there are lots of hotel within 5 miles of our stable. I would recommend you check the internet for hotels in Rancho Cordova area. The ones on or near White Rock Road / Zinfandel intersection. Thise hotels are the usual: Marriot Courtyard, Wingate, Quality Inn&Suites, Amerisuites, etc. (I don't recommend the Quality Inn & suites in Rancho -it's old and the rooms I've heard are musty?)< ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2006 #180 ********************************* ------- 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?
