Subject: Re: Joni and Jewel Actually, I do recall Joni being less than kind about Jewel. There was a Saturday Night Live cartoon short a few years ago that I thought was really funny. Here's a horribly condensed version: Jewel reads poetry to wild animals, who get bored and attack her. Joni comes out and sings Big Yellow Taxi, making all the animals happy. Joni admitted in print that a friend described it to her and she found it very funny. She said something like, "I shouldn't laugh, but her lyrics are so insipid..." _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 01:24:54 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Gregg's performance archived here NJC it's a small world after all...amilia & i did a house concert together (the one that was broadcast on npr but they failed to mention either of us by name...) this was the evening before we flew to nyc to do the show in feb at the living room... i agree, amilia is very talented & ... is this not a very small world? >>Paz just emailed me having trouble finding the archive of Gregg's show.

Incidentally, they should also reflect on the daily bombing and destructions going on in the Middle East. There nobody dreams of peace. Nobody sleeps with even one eye closed.American Government has the key to the solution.And I will say why later. Ugu Yahoo!

Can you explain why you are disseminating this information on the Joni Mitchell Discussion list, which is devoted to the music of Joni Mitchell? Terrorism In America List members have hearts and human feelings. What is music all about if not to make people feel happy and good. In a world where there is no peace and love what can music do to change it? Joni Mitchell is for peace in the whole world so let all preach love and sing love songs.

In articles where her childhood friends talk about her as a >child, you never hear them refer to her as Roberta. Sometimes parents will >give a child a family name, or a more formal first name, and then refer to >them by a middle name or something else altogether. perhaps im a bit late jumping in here, Joni has often told stories in her concers about friends reffering to her as Joan or Joni. Bob could be right. Doesn't Joni have some Irish blood? My first name is really Liam (says so on the birthcert and passport!), but have never ever been called that. Garret is my middle name. My parents had wanted to call me Dylan (after Bob believe it or not) and decided then to call me Garret (after a politican) at the last minute. The priest didn't like the name and wouldn't let them (he was probably anti Fine Gael; but then so were my parents and still are 21 years later), citing the fact that it isn't a saints name. He conceded to allow them call me Liam Garret as liam sounds more Irish and is my fathers name:) Furthermore, a friend of mine, Rory, is actually Cormac Rory; Anto is actually Paul Anthony (he was called Paul Anthony until his late teenage years when he began to object); Trish is really Mary Patricia; Noely is really Peter Noel. So there you have it, in Ireland we tend to use middle names quite commonly (and when parents get very serious they always use the double barrell "Louise Mary" etc.) GARRET ps- *when* i publish a book my pen name is Liam Martin (martin being my mothers maiden name: ) np- Eddi Reader "patience of angels"- saw her live last week here in Dublin and am utterly converted; she's wonderful. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 11:54:00 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Joni in literature I was pleasantly surprised to come across a Joni mention when I picked up a book by Carl Hiaasen for summer reading. The book is "Lucky You." The protagonist is explaining why she wants to use her lottery winnings to purchase a 40 acre parcel of virgin land. She says that developers want to buy the land to build "a shopping center and a parking lot, just like in the Joni Mitchell song." Most likely a reference to BYT. I was further pleased this weekend when I was in a wine store and heard, faintly, Joni's voice coming over the loudspeaker. She was singing a song I am unfamiliar with - it sounded like a musical cousin to "The Only Joy in Town." I figure it must be from TI, since I have not bought that or heard the entire CD at this point. I probably will buy it now, because this song sounded beautiful.

Since it's summer, it probably is a re-run (although there was an article in today's newspaper with host William Shatner talking about the VH1 series) The Waitresses was one strange album that I liked back in the early 80's which I bought because they were featured on the comedy show "Square Pegs" which Sarah Jessica Parker starred in. LOL <Basil. I've always liked the sexy energy of her "Mickey" song and video, but originally became enamored of her when she played a prostitute who trips on acid and cavorts around a New Orleans cemetary with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson in the film classic "Easy Rider" (1969). She was in the movie "Five Easy Pieces" in 1970, too.>> That's something I'll really have to check out. I loved those two films, but I had no idea that Tony Basil appeared in them. Thanks again Julius! Oh, and I was wrong about the starting time for VH1's One Hit Wonders. It's at 10:00 est. Happy Monday!

Les - ----------------------- Joni Mitchell: Shadows and Light The Definitive Biography By Karen OBrien Fully updated and published on 5th September 2002, priced: #9.99 Uncompromising and iconoclastic, Joni Mitchell confounded expectations at every turn. Restlessly innovative her music evolved from deeply-personal folk stylings into pop, jazz, avant-garde and even world music. Mitchell is one of the worlds most influential recording artists, and a role model for a generation of singer/songwriters from Sheryl Crow and Elvis Costello to Beck and David Gray. Intelligently told and with an unrivalled degree of access, Shadows and Light is the story of a true rock n roll icon. Canadian-born Joni Mitchell began her career as a folk singer/songwriter in the mid-1960s. Championed by the Byrds David Crosby, she quickly threw herself into the Bohemian scene in New York and later Los Angeles. Her musical reputation grew steadily, and in the late sixties and early seventies she enjoyed international success with songs including Chelsea Morning and Big Yellow Taxi, and critically acclaimed albums including the landmark Blue and the jazz-influenced Court and Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Mitchell has continued to produce both highly-regarded and adventurous music throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s and into the new century, and her musical creativity has been matched by her passion for the visual arts. Her idiosyncratic paintings and photography have been exhibited to acclaim in Canada, the United States, Japan and the UK. This definitive biography includes first hand interviews with those closest to her: friends, musicians, critics and radio DJs, including Suzanne Vega, Larry Klein, Graham Nash, Tom Rush, Elliot Roberts and Richard Thompson. Covering Mitchells visual art as well as her music, the book includes fascinating previously unpublished correspondence between Mitchell and modernist painter Georgia OKeeffe. Published to critical acclaim in October 2001, Shadows and Light has been fully updated and includes new interviews with Jonis first husband, Chuck, as well as Jonis creative reaction to the events of September 11th. Broad in scope and full of detail, this is the remarkable story of the life and loves of an extraordinary and complex artist. Karen OBrien is a music journalist and a BBC World Service radio news editor who has also written and broadcast widely on the arts. Karens previous book, Hymn to Her, a collection of writings on women musicians was published by Virago in 1995. She is a New Zealander by birth and Londoner by choice. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 13:46:26 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: "The Definitive Biography" reissued with new content > I just received this press release about the second > printing of Karen > O'Brien's book.
