Like extra virgin olive oil?

I thought he was drinking "40 version." I thought he had a 40-oz bottle in front of him.

We were both kind of right. He was drinking.

Thanks Jimmy! I'm running WAY behind the times on posting the link for 
that one...I will do so tonight but I won't have any write-up until the 
weekend.
Mea maxima culpa and all that for those of you waiting on the download.

Subject: The Music of Joni MItchell 

Lloyd Whitesell's book arrived today.  I'm just in chapter 1, but in the
acknowledgements he writes: "Les Irvin, of the Joni Mitchell Discussion
List, gave invaluable help tracking down arcane details and materials.  The
two official Web sites are beautifully maintained treasure troves of
information, making research a treat>"

 

Kudos, oh fearless leader, Les!

 

 

It looks like the book will be a good read.  Very scholarly.

Subject: The Boy on The Circle Game

I was listening TheCircleGame when this appeared on my mind :

It was 1970, and the boy on TCG was twenty.
It's 2008, so the boy (now man) is 58...

What happened to that boy 1970-2008?
His education...
His career...
His family...
His love life... (or maybe love adventure)
His... yeah.. whatever...

NP. Portishead - The Rip (from their third album which I really recommend)
PS. The boy was 20 in 1970, so the boy was born in 1950. Jerry, is that you?

De-lurking... just thought I'd pop in to share my latest discovery.

Check out Hana Pestle singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." You can watch
on YouTube - or download from iTunes.

simply breathtaking!

(Smurph being his ol' blue boy self and me de-lurking - world is surely
coming to an end...)

lots of love,
Anne

Sorry to burst your bubble, Jerry, but the song was written in 1966, so the
boy was born in 1946.  He's 62 this year!

Yep I know that the song was written earlier.
But the song first appeared on LOTC, which was released in 1970.
And I used that year as a base.

Ah, 1966 or 1970 is debatable. It can vary on one's point of view.
One thing that is not debatable (one thing that is sure) is that there won't be The Circle Game Pt.2.

Joni won't write it.

But perhaps Patti will.....

Subject: Joni the confessional songwriter?

  It is often said that Joni is or was a confessional songwriter, which in
essence has no sort of connotation whatsoever.  It can't be deemed positive or
negative.  It is a writing style in which one derives material based on
personal experience.  Seems simple enough, right?
  Well, back in the day (70's or so) Joni basically nodded in agreement that
she was a confessional songwriter, particularly during Blue.  I've read
interviews where she's down with that title.  How come more recently, say
nowadays, she shuns the title?  In one of her most recent interviews she said
she was never a confessional songwriter--that confessional songwriting is like
saying, "ooh I need to confess this, forgive me."  That isn't word for word
what she said but it is along the same lines.  Anyway, my question to you is,
why does Joni reject that idea now?
