Re: JMDL Digest V2003 #5 - Public displays of T'log affections

[Bree Mcdonough]

I've had three experiences in the last couple of months with people asking me if Joni Mitchell was dead. From the arse cashier at Borders..then my brother-in-law..and a niece. The inquiry from my brother-in-rile..was *probably* legitimate. The other two.. was to get my reaction..knowing damn well she is very much alive. Yes..this upsets..really upsets me..but I try to not let it show.

I haven't experienced this sort of thing -- but I was sitting in Starbucks
the other day when a friend passed by and excitedly mouthed something
indecipherable through the window....he came in announced that T'log is
totally marvelous and his favorite Joni album....
