Always cool to see Joni in The Greenville News! This morning's paper has a 
nice small pic along with Joni's Canadian award. Cool!

On another note, some of you may recall that we had a brief discussion 
regarding the line from "Sex Kills" mentioned in the subject line. I was 
baffled about what she meant, whether it was literal or symbolic or what. 
Well, last night I was doing a tape-to-disc transfer of her August 5, '94 
Press Conference after her performance at the Edmonton Folk Festival, and lo &
 behold there's my answer! Here's what Joni says:

"...and also there was this new kind of rape that had developed called 
'whirlpooling', which is corralling the young girl in a public swimming pool, 
you know, doubly-daring, so, broad daylight rape in a crowded place, and that 
had become the new sport in New York City and parts of Los Angeles, so the 
rapist in the pool refers to that."
