Being on the digest list, I can usually stop myself from replying to
posts because the time delay ensures someone else has normally already
covered my own reaction. But Bob Murphy's post below made me laugh out so
loud that I got curious looks from colleagues, and I want to let you guys
know how much I appreciate you all.
This is the most marvellous list and group of people in the world -
for so many reasons.
Gush gush gush!
Lieve.
PS Vince, I was fascinated by your tale of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
In fact I don't even recall ever hearing that particular Gordon L song,
though his other songs are all well known. At the next Jonifest, I'll ask
Bob Muller to hum it for me, with a bit of luck he'll have it ringing in his
head for the next few days then!

HA! Pigs to slop! HA! My super-intelligent Joni in Fiction fans? Au
contraire, merde pour la tete!
Do you have any idea what we "covers fans" do when you finally go to
bed at
Jonifests, Muller? We play our beloved "Covers Frisbee" until the
sun comes
up. Hundreds and hundreds of luminous discs flying through the night
and into
the sun's first light. You'd think it was the friggin' Northern
Lights. But
no, it's just all these useless Joni cover discs none of us can bear
to play.
We must have had at least a thousand going at Jonifest '02!
We laugh at you and your Joni baloney covers, Muller! WE LAUGH!
Hey, everyone! Who wants the new Chumba Wumba cover of "Dancin'
Clown?"
I didn't hear anyone, did you, Muller? Sure, every now and then one
of us
will write for one of your foolish covers CDs . . . but not because
we
actually want the wretched things -- it's because we feel so sorry
for you,
Muller, and want to give you one more pathetic reason to live yet
another
soul-killing day.
One more thing, Bob . . . when we kiss you, we wipe our mouths! WE
WIPE OUR
MOUTHS!
I also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of
the
57,934,915 Joni fans who visited Joni in Fiction today. I promise
I'll answer
all your e-mails soon!
--Bob
