Man, the digests have been coming so fast and furious, at least 10 of them in the last 
couple of days, that I can't keep up. Plus, I'm trying to finish some writing projects 
and shouldn't be online even now.

But I imagine the reason for the heavy volume is the PBS broadcast of Joni Mitchell: 
Woman of Heart and Mind, which I taped and hadn't had a chance to watch yet (gigs), 
but last night caught 2/3 of a late night rebroadcast. Man, oh man, oh man! SI(F)QUOMB 
indeed! Damn, it was good.

One of my most treasured high-school teachers, with whom I've stayed in touch over the 
31 years since, called during the broadcast to tell me he was watching it and thought 
of me, hoping I could see it. It wasn't just a brilliant documentary of a brilliant 
artist, it was time travel to a beautiful time and place.

OK, here's my question for you all: Does anyone admit to watching it and *not* crying 
at least once, if not off and on throughout as I did?
