I've not heard anything about this. Can anyone elucidate? "During their time on Huron Street, neither Joni Anderson nor Duke Redbird could have any idea that, thirty years later, by multiple coincidences, he would be the one to lead Joni's long-relinquished grown daughter to her." Who is this Duke Redbird character and what did he have to do with reuniting Joni and Kilauren? Nice post though, thanks for that.

One of her favorite songs from high school -- indeed, for decades to come, she would call it her favorite song of all time -- was the Shirelles hit of four years before, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." OH MY GOD!!!!! I just read this and I kind of posted the same thing earlier this week..Only makes me love Joni's performance on the song even more!!! - --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

I remember hearing Joni talk about how she rescued some stained glass windows from a building in Toronto that was marked for demolition (the stained glass apparently being the inspiration for Chelsea Morning a few years later). I wonder if it was same building that she hid herself out in right before she checked into the hospital. Hmmm. Anyway, I love hearing about those early days. Imagine being pregnant, penniless, homeless, and still chasing your dreams. What a courageous woman!

Does anyone here even grasp the significance of Shine, from the awesome music to the brillient lyrics to the stunning voice? What AMAZES me is how EVERYONE ignores addressing the point i have been trying to make about JONI'S VOICE for 10 years now: namely that her voice doesn't sound like Help Me anymore because she is not only decades older but, most importantly, she's much more skilled as a musician & a singer. If the JMDL is a club celebrating her pre-80s virgin voice & music then i definately don't belong here. i sincerely apoligize for using terms like 'folk snobs' and 'smoke nazis' but honestly doesn't it sound like it could be a lyric from Joni's next album? O i am WAY too 'confessional' & don't quite understand why i have spent SO much time on the JMDL for 11 years now other than my exponential LOVE 4 JONI !!!!! Especially her latest works ewwt >>I think you are preaching to the choir when you ask if we can even comprehend Joni's genius or whatever. Perhaps you should take that part of your post to a general music messageboard rather than a Joni Mitchell discussion list. You know? We all came here because of Joni's music, the way it has touched us personally and individually, and to connect with others who know the feeling. You dig? As for people talking about Joni's early work, well I suppose once again perhaps the casual Joni fans (or general public) go on about Big Yellow Taxi and Blue and that's it. I think the JMDL has healthy discussions of all of Joni's work (some favoring some of her early albums, some not digging the early ones as much, some favoring the later ones, some not digging the later ones, etc etc). In fact, I believe there are a couple of people who said they DIDN'T like Joni's voice (early records) until C&S when it deepened a bit. She wasn't really just "folk" by that time. I can't recall anyone saying they don't like a particular album (later album) because of Joni's voice on the JMDL. I believe some songs hit you and some songs don't as people explain frequently on here. As for cigarettes themselves, they are by far not a pollutant to the Earth but yes, they are dangerous to you individually. Sure household cleaners are toxic as well but you're not drinking Draino or inhaling the fumes everyday as a smoker does with cigarettes. That's fine if you want to smoke though. As George Harrison said, "do what you want to do" but cigarettes are bad for your lungs and can cause cancer. That is fact man. My own uncle smoked all his life and died a couple of years ago from lung cancer. That wasn't from anything household. I'm just saying and I mean no disrespect but I won't pretend smoking doesn't cause you any harm. - -Monika << ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2007 #479 ********************************* ------- 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?
