I'd rather not see her bitter and rehashing her old grievances over and over for her own sake. But I wonder how hard it might be to listen to if you were a close friend such as (let's assume) Crosby is to her. I've known people who get stuck for years on old grievances and it can be so frustrating and draining at some point to listen to the same old story over and over for years. Her ongoing kvetching really makes no sense to me on many levels but I look at it as an outsider. I see her talent and legendary contributions to art and music and life and just can't figure why she can't be more graceful about it all. But we just don't know what may have happened to her - maybe years ago - that stuck all this in her craw. Sort of along these lines, I had a discussion with a friend tonight about how certain people we have met through our lives have had profound influences on us. Influences and inspirations that changed the course of our lives in a positive direction and in a way that even the best of parents, friends and family could never bring to us. After I'd named off some of those people who had helped change the direction in my life I also remembered they were also very flawed themselves in many ways. Maybe that's the way it is with Joni. I think it is safe to say she has had a profound influence on most if not all of us here. I know she has helped me through many stages in my own life and has always been an inspiration. But - she has her human flaws just like anyone else. Ultimately her flaws take nothing away from what she has brought to me in my life. I can only hope she will someday be able to resolve and get beyond her own baggage - a process all of us probably deal with on an ongoing basis to some extent, too.

Many many thanks for that information! I must admit that amongst the eight Nietzsche books I got (and I've carefully read) isn't "The Case of Wagner" (a 48 pages pamphlet, as is called by Jose' Mari'a Valverde). Anyway, it's great to relate "The Three Great Stimulants", a song I'm truly fond of, with Nietzsche, an author who is still very modern, very appropiate for these days we're living. If I understand well the quotation, "his art" is referring to Richard Wagner's, isn't it? Keep on sharing your thoughts, brother! and Have a Wonderful time!

She needs to accentuate that positive more so - in my opinion - that is the highest form of praise. And she is not changing anyones opinion with her rants. I should talk, I know its hard to change or not be who you are but she knows her greatness and talents ... her peers do as well and she has us a loyal fan base that has contributed to her personal comfort level. Yes she is an artist and poet who like so many before will be loooked upon for years and will be reeborn many times after the are gone and given their place in the sun. I think it would be nice if she appreciated those who do support and love her more ... pull together rather than pull apart. Much like I think Rickie Lee does and other artists. I hope she finds peace - yes I know a its word I throw around alot but it has so many meanings on so many levels. Her complaints are valid - no doubt but they are falling on deaf ears while we here celebrate her and her peers do as well. Lets show the world what we as artist and star and colllegues have found and share. All of her kudos have come from this base - she should use it more in more positive ways. To have influenced so many so deeply is and should be warming to her and affirming. I wish she felt that more or got in touch with that phenomenom. I truly wish her all that she deserves - but recognize what you got or it may be gone - hmmmm? So .. Joni and all ... once and again ...

She carries around so much anger and bitterness, and stuff, baggage that is so unnecessary, and she shows so little gratitude for being given the gift that she's been given. She treats it like it was her just desserts or something, you know, and it's b all I can say is if that had been me, I would have been very, very grateful and tried to be nice to everybody. And, she's very angry and bitter and feels underappreciated, and she'll tell you about it for hours. And, I think that's graceless of her, you know. I wrote it all down in a song which I can't print.(laughter) I wrote a really good song about Joni, which I can't print anywhere." About the Crosby comment - as unsettling as it is to feel the truth slapped in your face, this kind of comment is really a starting point for the stuff of good biographies. I also find it interesting that this remark didn't make it into WOHAM or the Karen O'Brien so-called biography. Here we start to get into the deeper dimensions of Joni, the person, warts and all. If the purpose of art is the resolution of conflict on some level, it seems reasonable to assume that wrestling with that conflict or excess baggage can be the source of much creativity.So maybe we should be grateful for some of the bagage. There is no light without shadows. That's my take on this. I am very curious to hear that Crosby song about Joni, though! Coincidence, the link Les just posted called A Darker Shade of Blue (1994) that also makes reference to Joni's excess baggage. Strange echoes... http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=226 Here's hoping she learns to lighten that heavy load.

Music writers and their editors should at least be able to discern a guitar from a dulcimer. Also, Johnstone fails to discriminate between Joni's and James' VERY IDIOMATIC individual guitar styles. I may be wrong but I don't believe Taylor plays on "This Flight Tonight." And of course, it's always debatable whether one considers "River" the BEST song on the record. At least, the article can hopefully interest new listeners and as we've heard, "any love is good love."

A region 2 DVD by that name is on auction now at ebay.

As much as I enjoy him for his voice, music, the character he is and for beating the odds and being a survivor, I also think he has a HUGE ego and can be very arrogant. And you are right - Joni is far more naturally friendly and gracious to her "fans" when they meet up. Nash is just as sweet, for the record.

On page 111 there is a tribute to the Canyons of L.A. complete with one of the most beautiful photos (by Henry Diltz) of Joni looking out her Laurel Canyon window circa 1969. Here is the article: "Ah, Wilderness - Dumps, dropouts and D-girls- the canyon shelters them all" by Dave Gardetta "Sepulveda and Cahuenga, Benedict and Laurel, Coldwater and Beverly Glen - is there another major city splayed out around a series of canyons such as our own? Both beautiful and dark, places to retreat to or come to no good end, our canyons sit geographically where L.A.'s downtown should glow. That bait and switch - wilderness for urban core - turns the city inside out. In those dozen or so chasms all our best and worst fantasies are drawn. The street names famous for mass murder are there: Wonderland and John Holmes and cocaine; Cielo (Spanish for "heaven") and Manson and Sharon Tate. The hippies and their balladeer, Joni Mitchell, disappeared into them and can still be found in places like Topanga, taking along the belief that L.A. is a rural precinct. All the city's wildlife ventures out to be caught, shot, run over. Our McMansions are found there in gross, and so are the last of our country stores. We hike along the bottomlands and bury our mounting refuse inside our canyons until they exist no more and are - as with the aptly misnamed Scholl Canyon - blanketed with sod and drilled with 18 shallow holes. Finally, the major freeways and major traffic jams are found there, because L.A. canyons constrain and allow us passage, emancipate and bond us, uniting our cars, our trash, our dreams, our dead. They are the heart of the city and the hole in the metropolitan fabric." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2003 00:04:54 EDT From: Bobsart48@aol.com Subject: Re:Woodstock on piano I am way behind on my replies, Kate, so this was probably answered before. The songbook arrangement I have is pap. However, one thing is obvious to me from watching the videos of her early performances of Woodstock - she uses only black keys to play the song. So, ignore the songbooks, and just fiddle with the black keys in E flat. Clever girl. bobsart ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 21:06:50 -0700 (PDT) From: Paul Subject: New Joni Box Set - Improved sound quality In case any other JMDL'ers are like me and have trouble enduring the sound of 80's and early 90's CD's, you may be as interested as I to know that the new Geffen box set has been re-mastered using 24 bit/ 96 Khz technology.

I couldn't agree with you more Peter. I posted about my meeting Crosby back in February, so I won't go there again. He's a great musician, singer, performer, songwriter............but in person I was SOOOOOO disappointed. Joni would never treat a fan like that!
