Thanks for another fine effort. Just a little more information of Chanel Cole. She was a top 12 contestant on Australian Idol in 2005 (or 2006) which this recording comes from. She is actually a New Zealander living on the NSW south coast. I somehow missed this particular performance. She was a front runner for me. Especially after her performance of the Portishead song, Glory Box and Burt Bacharach's, Walk On By. I had a sneaking suspicion she was a Joni fan.

Most of the youngsters of my generation camping out on the land had grown up in well-to-do homes and, as it turned out, did not shake off their roots. They went back to college and got steady, well-paid jobs. Joni was honest when she said that her attempt at getting herself back to the garden failed because she was too urban. It's hard to break away from civilization;.) Of course there are exceptions. Some settled as farmers and produced ecological food. Also, not everybody was a hippie in the 60's. Most young people went to school, then got a job, like their parents before them. Sometimes I think the hippie culture is getting too much credit for having shaped the youth culture of the 60's. There were other ideals as well, radical left wing ideas. To me it seems that these ideas had a more lasting impact after all, at least in Europe and maybe most of all in Sweden. I am thinking of inexpensive daycare for children, free schools for everyone, a real chance for higher education regardless of social standing, women's liberation, social equality etc. And these issues seem to be important to the present young generation as well. They just go about their goals in different ways. Every generation has complained about the ones coming after them. The older generation has always found faults with the young generation. That seems to be a common law throughout history:-).

Dmne: Re: new joni interview in mojo As time goes by, generations are getting more and more apathetic to the world around them. I'm not saying this applies to you or everyone as a whole but I can understand what she is saying. But then again, did Joni's generation really change the world? Her generation, her youth consisted of well, sure folks connecting with each other, but also just some lying around (or dancing around) smoking marijuana. The intentions were there but the whole "drop out" theory works only on paper. You can't change anything by just sitting around thinking you want to change something. I mean, did hippies, even with their good intentions, end Vietnam any sooner or do anything outside of their own, self enclosed, smoky world? My own generation suffers from, as I said, apathy. It is understandable though in a way--just wanting to get on with your day, doing the best you can, doing good for good's sake, but overall not changing anything outside of your own day-to-day life. Shine on everyone.... -Monika check out what les has up on the site. http://www.mojo4music.com/blog/2007/12/joni_mitchell_disses_greedy_wo.html. she says: " I was also angry at the inability of this generation to know what to do; their inability to move at all, which is an unusual thing for youth." Asked what she meant exactly, she went into overdrive. "In their youth, my generation was ready to change the world, but when the baton was passed to them in the '70s, they fell into a mass depression because all revolutionaries are quick to demolish and slow to fix. When handed the baton to fix it, they didn't know what to do so they kind of degenerated into the greediest generation in the history of America: she is talking about my generation and what she says certainly is true of me at times. but i think each generation suceeds and mucks things up. i chose to infiltrate - to teach and seed. i don't think joni is really gloomy. her laugh is too hearty. heart and humor and humility....and all that. talking about bad stuff can be a wake up call. np in my head, bonnie raitt singing randy newman's "guilty" . cheers lesli - --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
