TI is a wonderful album and the standout track, for me at least is "Borderline". It is such a perceptive and insightful track: "Every bristling shaft of pride, Church or nation, Team or tribe, Every notion we subscribe to Is just a borderline". How many conflicts have been, and are still being, fought in the name of religion or nationalism, or both. How astutely Joni sums that up in just five lines. Brilliant and particularly poignant today Holocaust Remembrance Day. There are also those wonderful lines: " Good or bad, we think we know; as if thinking makes it so! All convictions grow along a borderline" In three short, concise lines she manages to convey so much that is both thoughtful and thought provoking. She is an incredible artist.

It is no good to be authorititive just because of dictating the terms. It is no good to be arrogant and derisive about an alternative opinion either. It brings me no joy and i don't want to go down that road no more . And Joni delivers that message with the warmest guitar playing. I think her warmest song of all is "woman of heart and mind"...i think for just plain carrying one along with it's lyricism and emotion it is the song that I would've loved if it wasn't for the brilliance of the rhythm and lyrics and visionary quality innovation of other songs.

DAVID LAHM ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 21:52:22 +0000 From: Joe Farrell Subject: Re: Turbulent Indigo Absolutely Clint. Not for the first time Joni adapted lines from the Bard. 'From the "slings and arrows of outrageous romance" I stole that from Willy the Shake, You know neither a borrower nor a lender be" (both also from Hamlet) Romeo Romeo talk to me.' "Talk to Me" DJRD. But then that is what many great artists do. None more so than Shakespeare who adapted many ideas, phrases and sayings from the source material he used for a number of his greatest plays. She is in good company. Regards, Joe.

Check him out wth the great '65-66 Miles quintet on albums such as "Nefertiti." The title tune and "Miss Mabry" are groundbreaking and beautiful. Horns sometimes as background, with Tony Williams to the front. Dave Cramer wrote a tune called "Is Wayne Shorter Than Me?" ;) "Piss in your fireplace" i think is a reference to a drunken Jackson Pollock. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:10:08 -0800 From: Brian Gross Subject: Re: a little shameless self-promo To which I'll gladly add that both of David's albums of jazz takes on Joni are on sale at Deep Discount. http://www.deepdiscount.com/search?mod=AM&ar=David+Lahm|801338 Brian - ----------------------------------------------------------- Politicians and diapers both need to be changed often.

If there's a weak song, or should I say a song that I don't get into as much it's "Not To Blame". I wouldn't say it's a terrible song but for me it pales next to the others on this record chock full of many many GREAT ones.
