Bob menulis: >>>Fake Christmas trees! Bah! Humbug! And Rian menulis: +++ There's nothing wrong with fake X-mas tree. All of my Christian friends here put up fake Xmas tree, and i still call the tree 'beautiful'. About Xmas, most Indonesian Christians (OK, my Christian friends) think that the most ideal way to celebrate Xmas is through imitating what people from northern hemisphere do. You know, the snow, the Xmas tree, the Santa Claus (we call him Sinterklaas  just like the Dutch), etc etc. Geographically, it's not possible. e.g: The tree. Since it's difficult to find the real Xmas tree (i forgot the name of the tree), i once told my friend "Can you just use a little mango or rambutan or durian or tamarind or jackfruit or banana tree and decorate them for Christmas tree?" He laughed, they thought it was a joke. But hey i was serious. Really. The Sinterklaas. I was still studying @ Jakarta last year. I went to a shopping mall sometime near Christmas. The weather was SOOO DAMN HOT. It was 1PM. And it was Jakarta. The temperature must be about 40 Celcius. Then i saw a Santa Claus there, near the parking lot, full with his big red winter clothes and a fake big beard and moustache, laughing his famous Ho ho ho. All i can say : that Santa Claus was the most pitiful creature on this earth. Rian NP.

Ah, actually there's no such thing as too much Joni..... -Monika Patti Parlette wrote: Bon soir encore une fois, Joniami(e)s! Here I am up all night in the studios again when I really should be getting some bed peace in the dazzling darkness, but I have to share this "love is a story told" before I forget. My son Michael from Mountains (yes, he was named after the song, and you know I'm not kidding!) was in town buying his new tires (so he doesn't dream flat ones) and I had the good fortune to pick him up and take him out to a Barangrill for dinner. I was excited because he would be a captive audience on the carousel of time, traveling in my vehicle, and I could play some Shine for him. Ha! I was shining as I reeled him in. Now I've told you how my sons are terrible Joni teasers, so be prepared. It was a tough choice, but I decided to play "If" first. As tires come squealing I said: Hi honey! Hop in! You are in for a treat. Here is Joni's new album! M (smiling, but being sarcastic): I'm soooo excited, Mom! Me: You must listen to the words. She is so inspiring. (I make you welcome in: If you can keep your head While all about you People are losing theirs and blaming you If you can trust yourself When everybody doubts you And make allowance for their doubting too....) (I thought these would be good words for a 23 year-old.) M: That's not Joni! Me: What do you mean? M: That's a man's voice! Me: No sir! That's Joni! You just expect that helium voice. You need to learn more about Joni. M: Is she going to tour now? Me: No, we don't think so. She wants to do more ballets. M: We? Me: Yeah, you know. The JMDL. M: Oh, okay Mom! I really wanted him to just listen to the music (sweet music) but of course we started talking and catching up on stuff on the way to the Barangrill. Dinner was lovely and so was the Conversation. (This boy is doing me proud -- tears and fears and feeling proud -- counseling troubled youths and teaching them about racism and justice and so many other important things.) On the way back to the tire store, we listened to more Shine. I was thinking I should take a long detour so he could hear the whole thing, while I was anxiously changing tracks. What did I want him to hear the most? The whole thing! I know he knows BYT, even though he won't admit it (his girlfriend told me that while at a pool party One Week Last Summer Joni came on and he sang ALL the words, and he also did that with "Help Me"), so I played BYT. I was torn between wanting to hear his stories and wanting him to hear Joni. Then while Night of the Iguana came on I was singing and pulled onto the wrong exit! (At least it wasn't a dangerous merge like you pulled, Marian, between the fine white lines of the free freeway!) He had just been asking me when I might retire and said: "Retire? I never think about that. I love my job. Are you saying I look old? I may be only fifty-three, but I am SWINGING!" M: MOM! Where are you going? (as I'm singing and pleading: Mike! You have to LISTEN TO THIS! Listen to the way she sings: "The jasmine is so mercilesssssssssly SWEEEEEEEEET") Me: Huh? Where are we? M: You took the wrong exit! For a few seconds, I really did not know where I was. I was totally DUI-JM. I know the refuge of these roads like the back of my hand. Then I took another turn, and again he said: MOM! WHERE are you GOING? (We were pulling into the mall, where the Shaboo Inn used to be, totally off-course. Again, for a few seconds, I was totally disoriented and ooby-shooby, but then I got back on the clickety clack.) Me: Sorry, hon. Wow. For a minute I thought I was getting Alzheimers, and that maybe I really should think of retiring. But now I know what it is. It's just a little DUI-JM episode." M: A *what*? So I tried to explain. I think he got it. Or maybe not. Maybe he is calling his older brother tonight and saying: "Chris, I'm pretty worried about Mom. It may be time to put her in a home for aging children. She's in Flip City!" Nah. Everything's cool. Thanks for all the space and I hope I made sense with the tombs/toothpicks in my eyes and the songs that I punched were dreaming! Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet....

Now the cops on the street, they want Cherokee Louise, not me, the Joni chirp. The cops don't seem to care For derelicts or ladies of the night They're weeds for yanking out of sight If you're smart or rich or lucky Maybe you'll beat the laws of man But the inner laws of spirit And the outer laws of nature No man can No no man can What I *really* need is those seekers of mental health! I'd even kiss a Sunset Pig or plainclothes cops. First they'd get the kisses, then they'd get the tears.

My favorite memory of listening to Tlog was driving through the woods on my way Jonifest a couple of years ago.? It was a beautiful day, the scenery was amazing, and I was ripe with anticipation of attending my first Jonifest. It was like a religious experience.? Absolutely perfect.? Whenever I listen to Tlog, I close my eyes, and I can visualize myself driving along those winding, wooded roads leading up to Blue Moon. Doesn't get much better than that.

Where did you eventually find it? I love T'log. But as I've said many times it is best listened to in the following manner- in the evening, with all the house lights off (holiday lights are okay), relaxing in your favorite chair or couch undisturbed, fire crackling, candles burning, sometime around the winter solstice (for northern hemisphere dwellers), sipping on your favorite holiday beverage. If you do this, it will take you on a marvelous visual journey. Try it! It is that time of year! Kate<< I feel exactly the same way Kate. LOVED this post from Rian! I must try what you recommend in the dark on the solstice sipping spiked eggnog by a crackling fire. I usually listen to it in the car to soothe my wracked nerves so I have missed out on the visuals for all these years now!!!

Thanks, Cassy. Here's something from the Luminato website. Note that the Nov 30 date is the date of the press release, not the performance. Luminato 2008 is June 6-15. http://www.luminato.com/news.php?item=6 Nov. 19 2007"a great artist has inspired greatness in her fellow artists. The Calgary Sun Luminato 2008 is proud to present the Toronto premiere of the Alberta Ballets The Fiddle and the Drum, a contemporary dance work inspired by the music of Joni Mitchell and choreographed by Alberta Ballets Artistic Director Jean Grand-Mantre. Presented in partnership with The National Ballet of Canada, The Fiddle and the Drum will be mounted for 10 performances at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. The Fiddle and the Drum, a semi-abstract narrative ballet danced in neo-classical style, is performed to an hour of Mitchells compelling music and her latest artworks, which are projected on three large canvas screens behind the dancers throughout the ballet. Alberta Ballets 26 dancers merge  through powerful and sensual movements  with Joni Mitchells eclectic sound and visual art and create a contemporary fusion of art forms that awaken and stir the soul. The piece also speaks volumes about Joni Mitchells life-long concerns about environmental neglect and the warring nature of mankind. As an artist creating today, quite frankly, I can see no other subject matter that is of more importance now. We need people to awaken to this reality, says Ms. Mitchell. The Fiddle and the Drum will be performed in a program that includes Harald Landers virtuoso piece Etudes and William Forsythes provocative the second detail. Click here for the official press release Other 2008 programming already announced: the world premiere of playwright Kevin Lorings Where the Blood Mixes, a 40th anniversary reading of George Rygas The Ecstasy of Rita Joe (both in association with The Vancouver Playhouse), and a musical performances featuring the Kronos Quartet and acclaimed Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq.
