  1. Me papa was born in 1950 but he certainly was not a hippie.

    Now a friend of dads, his age wasnt a hippie either, but he was definetly hip. He showed me a poster he had of himself on a motorbike, a real lowriding one, long hair the lennon shades and everything. He said he was going to even go to woodstock on his bike if there hadnt been a big storm.

    He teaches me the guitar I know and let me borrow some bios and stuff on the stones and beatles and everything.

    Just thought Id share.

  2. I am haveing a VERY difficult time defining Grunge. I realize tht i came ut of mainly Seattle in the late eighties and people list Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden as Grunge bands.

    But what is it?

    Now, I got a Pixies album for Christmas and I thought that was as Grungy as it got, but they werent on sny Grunger band lists I have seen...

    Just discuss it and maybe try to define it and give me some good Grunge Bands, because I like all of it ive heard so far.

  10. Joni Mitchell

    At the Faculty of Music

    October 27, 2004

    Montreal, October 18, 2004 ? As part of the celebrations of the 100th Anniversary of Music Teaching at McGill University, and on the occasion of her being conferred a Doctor of Music honoris causa, the Faculty of Music will pay a tribute to the great Canadian songwriter, singer, musician, poet and painter Joni Mitchell on Wednesday, October 27, 2004.

    Born in Alberta and raised in Saskatoon, Ms. Mitchell is among the most influential women of her generation. Her unique melodies and vocal styles have inspired many performers. She has produced over twenty albums and collaborated with such musicians as Herbie Hancock and Charles Mingus. Her music has been recorded by Buffy Ste. Marie, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, k d lang and Joshua Redman, to name just a few. Multi-Grammy winner, inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Juno Hall of Fame, she was granted the Century Award for creative achievement by the Billboard Magazine, the Sweden?s Polar Music Prize and the Governor General?s Performing Arts Award.

    On October 27, 2004, from 10:00am to 6:00pm in Redpath Hall, musicologists, critic, visual arts and performing artists will gather to Explore the Art and the Music of Joni Mitchell. Guests speakers include Lloyd Whitesell (Music, McGill University), Jennifer Rycenga (Comparative Religious Studies, San Jose State University), Daniel Sonenberg (Music, University of Southern Maine), and Howie Klein (former president, Reprise Records). The complete symposium program can be consulted at www.mcgill.ca/music/events/jmitchell_symposium/ .

    The Honorary Degree Ceremony conferring the degree of Doctor in Music honoris causa to Ms. Mitchell will be held at 8:00pm in Pollack Hall. A limited number of passes will be available through the Pollack Hall Box Office (398-4547) from October 25, 2004 at 12:00 (noon).

    I realize we're a bit behind on this but i saw a program on it last night on CBC and it was touching.

    Joni Mitchell was an amazing poet, one of the best of our time. I'm just wondering what people think of her here.

    I also heard this song on the radio over the holidays, and it was one of the deepest songs I'd ever heard.

    River

    It?s coming on christmas

    They?re cutting down trees

    They?re putting up reindeer

    And singing songs of joy and peace

    Oh I wish I had a river

    I could skate away on

    But it don?t snow here

    It stays pretty green

    I?m going to make a lot of money

    Then I?m going to quit this crazy scene

    I wish I had a river

    I could skate away on

    I wish I had a river so long

    I would teach my feet to fly

    Oh I wish I had a river

    I could skate away on

    I made my baby cry

    He tried hard to help me

    You know, he put me at ease

    And he loved me so naughty

    Made me weak in the knees

    Oh I wish I had a river

    I could skate away on

    I?m so hard to handle

    I?m selfish and I?m sad

    Now I?ve gone and lost the best baby

    That I ever had

    Oh I wish I had a river

    I could skate away on

    I wish I had a river so long

    I would teach my feet to fly

    Oh I wish I had a river

    I made my baby say goodbye

    It?s coming on christmas

    They?re cutting down trees

    They?re putting up reindeer

    And singing songs of joy and peace

    I wish I had a river

    I could skate away on

    It was revealed in 1997 that she had put a baby up for adoption. Dhe dated Neil Young y'know...What a baby that would be.

  11. This is a song me and a friend wrote the other day.. then 10 minutes later we were given an assignment to learn a song , so we decided to do this.
