[Catherine McKay ] Joni Saskatoon debate and Chuck Mitchell [kbhla@fastmail.fm] Re: The Joni/Saskatoon debate continues [Shari Eaton Subject: Re: Big Yellow Taxi ! That's pretty funny. It has occurred to me lately that, around here at least and I'm sure in many other places as well, they're digging up parking lots in order to build very tall condos, which have underground parking. Parking lots apparently don't generate the income they used to, even at the grossly inflated rates they charge now. >________________________________ > From: Joe Jones >To: joni >Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 11:02:04 AM >Subject: Big Yellow Taxi ! > > >Quote by British comedian Alan Partridge. > >*On traffic* > >That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains >they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually >would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, >something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it >doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world.

I did find it a little odd that the "family friend" was supposed to be only temporarily keeping her personal childhood/teenage possessions, diaries, Myrtle's scrapbooks, etc., but seemed to be almost stubbornly ignoring Joni's requests that her stuff be returned. Liked that she mentioned several universities being interested in her stuff and hope she decides on one in the Los Angeles area ;-) Hoping she really didn't say some of those cutting comments on Saskatoon. Also was very surprised by the interview with Chuck Mitchell. Seems like a very bright, witty and talented guy. More impressive than I had imagined. Can kind of see that he and Joni were mismatched but he was decent about her in the interview.

There must be a way to get her stuff back to her. For instance, this isn't honoring (regarding her with great respect) her so it goes against the nature of the act.

It's not reaching an amicable end and while I like to see both sides now all the evidence points to the thought that Saskatoon has just dropped the ball very badly on this which is a real shame.

I think this crowd is fluent in metaphor anyway and can easily understand this. I think that living in the cave without electricity or toilet was the mother of the hand-built, stone cabin in British Columbia. Maybe one of the listers who was invited, and visited the cabin will someday share his experience with the rest of the class. Do I have to call on you by name?
