sharon! thanks for that. i LOVED it! tivo found bob on the food network on may 9th! i'm going to watch him i bet he is wonderful! sounds really really fun. thanks for sharing that. very nice! i have seen the toaster airstream on a pbs show before, it was something about oddities around the country, and it was just in the beginning of the show where they show stuff they've already done in a nice montage. i didn't get to see the show about it, or bob, if there was one. i can't even remember what the show was called, but it was a regular thing. thank you! tres'-c On Wed, 30 Apr 2003 17:54:40 -0700 (PDT) kona bordango <filmchicka <at> go.com> writes: > i found this today as i was working: > > http://www.powells.com/authors/blumer.html > > quite a bit of snippets about jane in there from hwe former manager, > bob blumer. > > sounds like a nice guy. > > hope all is well in siblings-land > > -sharon > > ___________________________________________________ > GO.com Mail > Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com(Continue reading)
Great interview. Evidence of Bob's first stabs at sharing crazy recipes can be found on the "I Muse Aloud" documentary, where he passes out garlic/peanutbutter sandwiches to everyone on Jane's tourbus, much to the great delight of others. I did like what he had to say about "doing it for yourself," which is ultimately what I appreciate about Jane as an artist. Unfortunately, I may have been her undoing, but you have to respect the woman for doing whatever she felt like doing. If she had ever listened to record company executives, a PERFECT record like THE WALKING would have never been allowed to see the light of day (and interestingly, the US version of the album always did feature the edited versions of the title track and "Ingrid" -- too bad!). As for Bob -- any man who is a fan of the Iron Chefs is a friend of mine. Glen
I kept trying to figure out if it was actually garlic and peanut butter mixed, or if they had roasted garlic and the sandwiches as two food items. A strange mix, either way.

Dear Siblings, Is "the white tent the raft" the most difficult of Jane's songs, musically and lyrically? I've only begun to puzzle over it. And the significance of the tense scene of "the white tent the raft," which Jane INSISTS upon, is itself (now) the biggest puzzle. Any thoughts? I've only arrived here recently, so my apologies if this has been "dealt with" already. If anyone has any past comments that they would care to re-zap, or if anyone cares to send me to some archived commentary somewhere, I would of course appreciate it. ta ta, Bruce PS "The Bird in the Gravel" might be another contender, but it won't track properly for me, alas. Bruce
If you've ever seen Jane on stage, she has a rather..... free flow thought pattern. It was fun at her Salon, when we did free form thoughts with symbols, and other stuff.

In all the years I've been tuned into this group, I've heard much talk about Dar Williams. Well, I've *never* heard her! Next Friday she comes to Santa Cruz and I'll get to hear her for the first time - live! So you have two reasons to be envious - I hear her live and I get to "discover" a wonderful songstress (according to my fine siblings) for my first time. Meanwhile I'm off to Cleveland, but not for the Rock 'n Roll Museum. I'm a volunteer judge (earth sciences) for the annual Intel Science Fair for the brightest of out high school students. OK, I will go to the R&R Museum, and also to the art museum that Sister Wendy says is one of the finest in America. This is going to be fun! ----- Glenn Nelson in Santa Cruz mailto:glenn <at> nelson.name See my KiteCam pix at: http://www.glenn.nelson.name See my KittyCam at: http://www.kjsl.com/~glennn/cgi-bin/recent.cgi
bruce, well, it hasn't been dealt with since i've been here - a couple of years. but the song you speak of didn't grab me & say anything to me. i may have missed it's time. some things have a time that if you hear it when it's energy is strongest, when it is presented at it's time to exsist out here in the world, then you catch it's purpose. i however missed it. came on the scene ever so late. same must go for the bird in the gravel. it was like "what the hell?" absolutely lost on me. i was so sad about it to, b/c i was so excited to have it & watch it but then it said nothing to me. must not've been for me. she, however, DID do all the rest of the stuff for ME. i totally caught them & was like, wow. yeah, i hear ya. i know exactly what you are saying, girl. that is too too cool. love, tracy On Thu, 08 May 2003 20:05:20 -0400 B Merrill <merrillb <at> crisny.org> writes: > Dear Siblings, > > Is "the white tent the raft" the most difficult of Jane's songs, > musically > and lyrically? > > I've only begun to puzzle over it.

hey, that last post just made me think... i was heavily into tori amos before i found jane. i connected on a very important level with tori that helped me get to places that really needed healing. THEN i found jane & she just took me deeper and deeper to where i wanted to go. places i wanted to be aware of, that needed to see the light of day. music is spiritual for me. very much so. i've been feeling really out of whack for some time now. like i'm just not connected. went to a tori concert in tulsa in march and felt that connection again. since then have become, again, heavily into tori. this makes me wonder... since i'm starting to feel connected again, with tori's help, i'm wondering what jane has in store for me next. maybe there really will be a new cd & it'll kick my ass like when i was a boy, and it will all be happening again, circling around again. ...waiting for it to come around on the guitar. i do miss jane. love, tracy
I did an analysis of "the white tent the raft" for an essay some time ago which I've sent to Jane. I think her record notes to The Walking tell some of the story. I still find it one of her most interesting songs lyricwise. When I find the file with the analysis I'll send it out to you for reactions. Regards, Henrik, Sweden
