that was a nice post there Dirk
i have to agree with you: at this point Hits and Misses dont really seem to
represent my favourite part of Joni's career. i mean, i hear Judgement of
the Moon and Stars or Down ot You or Amelia and it's like....this is Joni as
i love her, but for those "uninitated new listeners" my favourite Joni
moments might be a little *too* obscure or just too Joni-ish to take.
imagine trying to introduce someone to Joni's music with HOSL! that album
has been spinning in my cd player a lot lately and i'm really loving it (it
was an absolute impulse buy one day, and it has just sat in my house for a
while with me listening mostly to my fave tracks, but now i've really taken
to it) but i can completely understand how it could possibly cause the
opposite reaction in my frineds than i desire. i love harrys
house/centerpiece, so when a friend forced me to copy all my fave Joni songs
for him by means of introduction ot her music that was inevitably on there.
he liked harrys house, but he hated centerpiece- which i think is "awfully
marvelous". and i thought that was a song that everyoen would like once
they heard it, lol!
he did love chelsea morning, bsn, and river.
now, for the NJC part:
i liked the initiation rite analogy:-) very apt. i'm a science student;
this was my first choice of college course. but at the time of making up
my mind and filling out those forms i really wanted to study anthropology
and was totally torn between two courses, my own and an arts degree in
Maynooth. ideally i would have loved to do psychology with anthropology. i
changed my mind so many times and finally said "thats it". does social
anthropology make for good studying? my friends and relatives thought i was
mad when i wanted to pursue this subject because a teacher of mine told my
parents that there are few careet options in Ireland for an anthropolgy
graduate. of course, they were at least happy that there was something i
*wanted* to study!
GARRET
ps- i will learn to type eventually. i finally bought Mavis Beacon!
