Joni may not have been very rich when she wrote it, but she wasn't poor; as Bob has already pointed out, the song lends itself to being sung by anyone, notwithstanding one's personal taste of course. As far as her debut album goes, I don't have it in front of me right now, but my recollection is that nearly all of the songs are credited as co-writes with various members of the eponymous Tuesday Night Music Club, and that she writes very effusively about what great musicians they are and how much she had making the record with them. I wouldn't call that appropriating others' material, especially with the implication that she was taking all the credit. Then again, I don't know what the beef was, exactly, and I'm not sure you do either. It's clear you just don't like Sheryl Crow, which is cool, a good old fashioned matter of opinion. I would take issue with one thing you said about her, though, in your last post: that she wasn't a real musician (that may be paraphrase, but I don't think I'm misrepresenting what you said, at least I hope not). I think this is simply unfair. She is a more than competent multi- instrumentalist, being particularly nifty on the bass, and played probably half the instruments on her second album. For what it's worth, I believe Sheryl's debut is a better record than anything Joni has done since it appeared, and one of the great debuts of the 90s. And although I'd agree with you (up to a point) about her subsequent stuff, which is nothing like as good, and indeed suggests that she works best with collaborators like the TNMC, I can't believe that you could listen to Strong Enough or We Do What We Can and find her singing bloodless. > Sheryl Crow hasn't been harmonizing with Sunset jazz-bums on the > boulevard in Los Angeles.

I'm glad you wrote on this. I've been wanting to discuss something with you, because I've always had a lot of respect for the intelligence of your posts. And now I've got an opportunity to tell you that. Thanks for all the food for thought over the time you've been on the list! Now I'll try to explain my little Crow rant: Azeem queried: <> No. I'm not saying only a poor person can cover this song. That would make no sense at all. It's a song written from the perspective of a fairly well-to-do musician-type character. What I'm saying is that one of the most salient attributes of Joni's songwriting genius, and a quality that elevates her work way above that of Sheryl's ilk, is her didacticism. When I listen to a Joni song like "For Free," I instinctively know that the song is invariably: 1) designed or intended to teach 2) intended to convey instruction and information as well as pleasure and entertainment, and, perhaps most profoundly, to 3) make moral observations. I don't think Sheryl has quite grasped what Joni was trying to teach people exactly like Ms. Crow! "For Free" screams to her "Hey, do as I say, not as I did! Be better than me for having listened to my hard-earned lessons learned! Stop at the corner, forchristsake! Reach down and pull someone up every now and then...it costs you nothing! Humble yourself! I'm a narcissist and I can't, but maybe you can, because, I'm telling you what I know, that would be the right thing to do! " That, to me, is how art works. Look at Lenny Bruce. He was like, hey man, don't be like me. Learn from me! Not sure that is the good example, but that's the best I can do at the moment. Thanks for asking. - -Julius ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 18:26:00 -0400 From: "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Question: Beatles trivia, njc Yo, I learned something new today, listening to our beloved singer-songwriter station, WNKU.

Here's my take: The song "Real Good- For Free" isn't about the street musician. It's about a "famous", wealthy celebrity LOOKING at a street musician. It's about a "success story" pausing for a millisecond and muttering to herself, >Wow. There, but for the grace of God, go I.> In the next millisecond, it's off to Geffen's pool for a few hours in the chaise chair, poolside, with a margarita.

I'm tickled pink at my latest procurement: a mint copy of the Official 1997 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Dinner program. You know the story, Joni is inducted and honored, but she chooses not to attend. Nash presents her with the award months later, out of a paper sack? Read all about it in the JMDL articles archives, I'm sure, if you want to brush up. Upon very close inspection, I'm pleased to find that they did a very nice job on the design in Joan's section of the program. The entire publication is quite well done, actually. Also inducted that year were: The Bee Gees, Buffalo Springfield, CSN, the Jackson 5, Parliament Funkadelic, the Young Rascals, Mahalia Jackson, Bill Monroe and Sydney Nathan. Wow! Heavy-hitters all! All treated with the utmost respect in their respective sections, in terms of attention to detail, photo selection, art design and the like. Splendid collectible, if you can get it. There's a long bio piece on Joan by a Patricia Romanowski, which is well worth sharing, but it's prohibitively long. I got a major kick out of this sidebar by Chrissie Hynde about Joni though. Chrissie gets it said!: Joni Mitchell by Chrissie Hynde Authenticity is the quality I think best describes Joni Mitchell. The fact that she has the most gorgeous voice ever, plays the guitar like a man (figuratively speaking of course) and is a master songwriter, all come secondary to the authenticity that (like blood through an Ace bandge) seeps through everything she does. Many women in the last twenty years have played Joni Mitchell records during childbirth. I believe it's some kind of phenomenon. Why do they do it? Probably because people appreciate the truth more than ever when going through major life events. We have total faith in this woman. She's never fucked us around or tried to get our attention to serve her own means. In fact, we get the impression that she finds fame more than a bit bothersome and would rather be left alone to go off and paint pictures. Still, millions of us wait for her. We want her authenticity to lend credence to our own lives. She makes us feel better, and if you think about it, who doesn't love Joni Mitchell? Nobody I know. -End- -Julius ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 19:00:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Smurf Subject: All I Wanna Do Is Sing 'For Free' - njc Hit it!

Incredibly brilliant Mr. Smurf! And I even loved the original song and think Sheryl IS a good musician, but DAMN. I did read some article at one point that said the lyrics to the song was filched from an English professor (who I think was from L.A.) but he had agreed to let her use it. He just didn't get recognition for the lyrics for a long time. Being a somewhat mutated, on the edge of Blade Runner L.A. native, I loved those lyrics. But DAMN, this is good LOL!
