Now becomes Banquet & ROTR Hi, rian! Oh, yeah, I did forget about the gravy, gristle, cookie, and marrow bone in Banquet! Thanks for the other food reference in Joni's music. I usually skip, 'Banquet,' too, to track #2, 'Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire'...unless I'm in a pensive, sort of melancholy type of mood in total silence, which I rarely get a taste of anymore...'nothing,' really, rian, anymore. No time! For now, I'm just so happy to have Shine, still playing whenever possible, morning, noon or night! rian, about the movie, 'ROTC,' I've never seen it, nor do I know what the title's abbreviation, 'ROTC,' stands for. I just recently discovered here Joni was in some movie and from I read here, the film is not very good. One day I'll try see it. I think Joni's simplicity kept her from playing the movie queen role. About Jewel, I need to listen to one of her recordings. Maybe you can recommend one, rian. I've seen Jewel on TV and I always wanted to learn more about her other than she and her mother lived out of a car, homeless, and no place to go, but straight forward and she's done a darn good job and for that I commend her. That's an incredible feat, to consistently fight for the light, no matter how dark the present finds one in...and Jewel found the way to let her little light shine after the dazzling darkness. Well, rian, it's been nice talking to you again on this quiet Saturday night, as Shine plays, as I sit here outside underneath a beautiful half moon, alone! Hey, I'll listen to, 'Banquet!' Take Care, Jeannie . rian afriadi wrote: Jeannie wrote : The only reference to food that I recall Joni makes in her lyrics are, "Winn-Dixie cold cuts And highway hand me downs," Oh, I just remembered, "There was milk and toast and honey And a bowl of oranges, too Well Jeannie, you forgot to mention a bunch of food in Banquet. Why? Is it because you got nothing though there's plenty to share? :-) Banquet. Hmmm. I don't know why i don't really like that song. Everytime i listen to my FTR, i always skip that song (even though i admit that song is great). Maybe because i don't like the arrangement. But, i found the rearranged Banquet (found on Refuge of The Road DVD) more interesting. I never skip that part. And talking about ROTR the movie, what do you think about that? I actually don't like the show. It's not a concert. It's just Joni, with her hair dyed white, with her band playing in a stage with no audiences, but strangely, you can hear applauses in the end. But, I REALLY love the re-arrangements. It's so interesting to hear 80's version of her 70's tunes. Specially, Banquet and ROTR. With that new arrangements, those 2 song would perfectly fit WTRF the album. And 1 more thing: I found white-haired Joni so sexy. Rian. NP. Three great stimulants PS. I didn't reread above writing, so you may find some grammar error there. - --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

For me, two words: Missed Opportunity. She seemed very, very nervous. I thought Rose was very happy to have her on the show. Some here have said they thought he was dis-connected and dis-interested, but I dis-agree. He does not pander to any of his guests. Rose is listed as an executive editor of the shot, but something seemed off. It seemed at times like he was checking off boxes as he went through a list of "approved things to talk to Joni about." She professes to deplore the soundbite nature of interviews but largely wound up giving the same material out to every interviewer during this set. I didn't get the impression that Rose was disrespectful or not interested either. I'm not familiar with him but I felt he was probably very experienced in trying to get a good interview in a limited amount of time and that he trying to keep her focussed. She can go off on these tangents and tell the same old (same old to some of us anyway) stories. As far as the part where he said, "Talk about this... talk about that...", some people thought that came off as rude and that he was cutting her off, but to me, it didn't come off that he was interrupting her. There was probably a somewhat longer time allowed for the interview so that Joni was let to ramble a bit, but he was bringing her back to the current topics - the album and the ballet, and that some of the rambling may have been edited out. She did seem kind of nervous and i thought it was odd that way her hands were in front of her face a lot of the time, to the point that, at times, you couldn't see her face. That was a bit disconcerting. But Joni is never at a loss for words.

Its not ROTC, but ROTR. ROTR = Refuge of The Road, the video. (I love mentioning ROTR since it's close to LOTR = Lord Of The Ring) ROTR is Jonis first long form video since Shadows and Light. It was intended to be a documentary movie of Jonis WTRF world concert. But, i think the documentary is not enough. Its just Joni with her band (incl Larry Klein) singing in a stage with no audiences. There are a few documentaries and fake applauses between the songs. The documentaries consist of unclear conversations between Joni and the band, conversations between the band and Joni, conversations between the band members, Joni monologue, backstage videos, and a few videos taken by Joni using a video recorder. Oh ya, just like S&L, youll find some movie clips. Trivia : Borat did a cameo here. (LOL. Dont believe this!) (The 80s state of cuteness always makes me laugh) About Jewels records. Well. Im not Jewel expert. So, this writing may be incorrect. Maybe other JMDLers can correct my fault (if theres any) Her recording is like Jonis: Every album has its uniqueness and has its own sound. Her first album Pieces of You is very minimalist, some of them are recorded live in a small cafe/bar/something. The lyrics are beautiful, and some of them, if not beautiful, make you think. Like this one: "Pieces Of You" She's an ugly girl, does it make you want to kill her? She's an ugly girl, do you want to kick in her face? She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat. She's an ugly girl, does that make you feel safe? Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her 'Cause she's pieces of you? She's a pretty girl, does she make you think nasty thoughts? She's a pretty girl, do you want to tie her down? She's a pretty girl, do you call her a bitch? She's a pretty girl, did she sleep with your whole town? Pretty girl, pretty girl, do you hate her 'Cause she's pieces of you? You say he's a faggot, does it make you want to hurt him? You say he's a faggot, do you want to kick in his brain? You say he's a faggot, does he make you sick to your stomach? You say he's a faggot, are you afraid you're just the same? Faggot, Faggot, do you hate him 'Cause he's pieces of you? You say he's a Jew, does it mean that he's tight? You say he's a Jew, do you want to hurt his kids tonight? You say he's a Jew, and never wear that funny hat again. You say he's a Jew, as though being born wear a sin. Oh Jew, oh Jew, do you hate him 'Cause he's pieces of you? Do you hate him Cause hes pieces of you? Her 2nd album, Spirit contains Hands, which Patti like. Her third This Way sounds a lil bit country. Her fourth 0304 is the most mainstream/pop. Teens who listen to Kelly Clarkson can easily like the songs. Her fifth Goodbye Alice In Wonderland, i dont know. I dont have this one. Jewel songs that i like the most: You Were Meant For Me Who Will Save Your Soul Foolish Games (edit) Morning Song, from Pieces of You Hands Everybody Needs Someone Sometime Break Me Serve The Ego This Way, from This Way Becoming Doin Fine U + Me = Love Fragile Heart, from 0304 Honorable mentions: Life Uncommon Down So Long, from Spirit Actually i tried to upload 3 of them, but it seems like now i have a problem with my internet connection. And for Marian, you told us that you have 1 of her albums, the cover was white. (You forgot an album you bought????). Well, thats Pieces of You. The Indonesian version has a different cover, so at first, i have no idea what album was that. Trivia : Her name is real. She once lived in a van. Yes, it is another rags to riches story. Rian NP. Joni. Is a Muggin (again and again) - --------------------------------- Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.
