I think 'pedantic effrontery' sounds more like an architecture term....and this buidling has a great example of 'pedantic effrontery' . I think it would be somewhat rococco...or even baroque..lol. Oh, and Catherine, how could you forget Jason Donovan? ( er...only kidding) . Gordon..in gloriously sunny Glasgow !

It is always applied to writing and thought of as a writing style. Effrontery just means presumptiousness or really even arrogance. I don't know how to explain that really. So Joni's writing was called detailed and arrogant even....you'd think critics would be more original in their reviews after all these years! What else is new? :) - -Monika ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 16:46:17 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: Joni's influence on you? Monika wrote: Oh, I will admit to something else as well. In some certain, shakey situations I suppose I'll call them, I have thought in my head, "what would Joni do?" Of course I don't know her personally (unfortunately) but can only imagine the outcome based on what I have read about her and based on what she herself says. ***** LOL! What would Joni do? I have a magnet right here on my work desk that says: WWJD? Yes!!!! Two years ago (on 9/22) I bought a new vehicle, and I was so excited that I wrote to the list about it, wishing I had Joni bumperstickers (I also asked what song I should christen it with, and it was Herjira, hands down). So Patti Witten designed 4 of them and sold them on CafePress.Com. Voila: http://www.cafepress.com/buy/joni%20mitchell/-/cfpt2_/x_20/cfpt_674:____D___G______P___b7_a2/source_searchBox/copt_/y_12 1. WWJD? 2. My other car is a big yellow taxi 3. SIQUOMB SHE IS QUEEN UNDISPUTED OF MIND BEAUTY (that one isn't there anymore for some reason) 4. Don Juan's Reckless Driver Aren't they AWESOME? Thanks again, Patti W., where ever you may be these days. ****** So have you been influenced by Joni in your own personal life? - - -Monika ******* You have GOT to be kidding! You can't be asking that of me, Monika! How much time do you have? 1969: H.S. sophomore jive class dance was named "Night in the City" (as Class VP I had the power and I used it, Oddmund Joni Mitchell Missionary Man-style) May 1970: wrote an essay for English class titled "We Are Stardust, We Are Golden" from a list of suggested topics given by Mrs. Carney (boy, was she hip for an old lady.....LOTC had just come out!) 1971: did a presentation for English class, again from a list of suggested topics, this time given by Mr. O'Conner, the hippie English teacher: "The Impressionism of Joni Mitchell". I woke up early, with the sun To ride the bus while everyone is yawning as I dragged in STAS, Clouds, and LOTC along w/ a few big coffee-table art books on French Impressionism (yeah, let's go to the Musee d'Orsay, Jonathan! Christian, you can come, too!) LOL.....Then I resisted marriage for a long long time, singing: "We don't need a piece of paper from the city hall....." And..... Oh, forget it! You'll just have to wait for my autobiography. For now, a cheesey song will have to suffice: Love Story Where do I begin To tell the story of how great a love can be The sweet love story that is older than the sea The simple truth about the love she brings to me Where do I start With her first hello She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine Thered never be another love, another time She came into my life and made the living fine She fills my heart She fills my heart with very special things With angels songs , with wild imaginings She fills my soul with so much love That anywhere I go Im never lonely With her around, who could be lonely I reach for her hand-its always there How long does it last Can love be measured by the hours in a day I have no answers now but this much I can say I know Ill need her till the stars all burn away And shell be there (Oh boy, Muller's gonna kill me over that one! Not just a moldy oldie, but moldy CHEESE to boot...LOL! Richard is probably cringing, too. Sorry, guys!) Love, Patti P., wishing I weren't in the workplace so I could read and write Joni all the live-long day and reply to all the posts in today's digest....stooopid JOB! ; ) If I had my way I'd just walk through these door and wander, down the Champs Elysees and Penny Lane and Sisotowbell Lane and Abbey Road..... _________________________________________________________________ Kick back and relax with hot games and cool activities at the Messenger Cafi. http://www.cafemessenger.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_SeptHMtagline1 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 17:26:23 EDT From: PassScribe@aol.com Subject: Ken's First Listen-New Joni Album Date: Monday, Sept. 10, 2007 Time: 4:35 PM EDST Place: Driving along Merrick Road in Massapequa (Long Island) Station: WFUV (90.7 FM) Song: "If I Had A Heart" (new Shine album) Yes, folks, I've heard my first song off the new Joni album today and... I really liked it! Good instrumentals (nice piano) great vocals & arrangement... although I haven't downloaded any of the lyrics yet so I'm still not completely up to speed here. My first impression, though, is very POSITIVE! I know I've not been active on the site lately (being semi-retired takes a lot of my time ;-)) and I've been very busy with my writing projects (I was featured in a Newsday column a few weeks ago/got my picture in the paper!) but I've anxiously been awaiting Joni's new album, none-the-less. I must admit, Joni's most recent albums have not been my favorites so I was not sure what to expect. However, if this first song is any indication of the rest of the album... I'll be very happy indeed.

Listen to 'Sex Kills,' and I think Joni's stance concerning pedophilic effrontery and temerity is obvious. Truly, Jeannie--also with a heavy Webster's dictionary in tow Marion Leffler wrote: Okay, for what it's worth: pedantic hasn't got anything to do with child abuse, it means particular. When somebody is pedantic, she is very particular about whatever she is doing. Isn't that our Joni? And Monika, you are so right, age is not per se a mark of ignorance or bad taste! Marion, with a dictionary nearby - -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fren: owner-onlyjoni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-onlyjoni@smoe.org] Fvr Bryan Skickat: den 10 september 2007 03:08 Till: joni@smoe.org Dmne: Oh my God, Joni may be guilty of pedantic effrontery The official amazon.com review of Shine is lukewarm (whatever...) and includes a claim that Joni is practicing "pedantic effrontery" in some of the album's lesser songs. I am stunned. If I had known the woman has been abusing children all these years, I would have ditched her long ago. But seriously, how can we take a review seriously with such pretentious language? Furthermore, the "Jason" who wrote the review is probably all of 23 years old. Curmudgeonly, Bryan - --------------------------------- Ready for the edge of your seat?
