Recent Joni Mitchell Interview

[davismanLV]

Since her hideous brain aneurysm 5 years ago, appearances have been few and words from her even fewer. This recent one was fun to find. Find it in the Guardian HERE!!

I read that this morning, and loved it. Love her, too.

 

[davismanLV]

She's the queen and the king all rolled into one. Now if only i had the skill to carry off her music better. But I still have fun with it..... she's the BEST!!

 

[Quantum Strummer]

Great to read this. Mind still sharp.

I love the Archives' version of Both Sides Now, apparently performed just a few days after she wrote it!

Many thanks for sharing that, Tom. My wife has always been a huge fan of Joni’s work. Not quite so much so for me, but I treasure certain songs of hers, such as For Free.

Thank you very much for this, Tom .

That was heartening to read - her illness was scary! Thanks!

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot.

Yes - thanks for posting this. It was nice hearing from her again.

Court and Spark makes my "you can only listen to these 10 CD's for the rest of your life" list.

She has one of the best artist websites around, including exhaustive documentation of her many guitar tunings. I've peeked into that rabbit hole, but haven't headed down it yet.

 

[Cougar]

I remember hearing her the first time. The poetry was stunning. Epiphany.

A great read, thanks!

That was nice. I've come to appreciate Joni more in the last 20 years than I ever did before. I'm like that with a lot of music, but it usually doesn't take that long.
