I've been missing you all during my computerless vacation in Germany, and now I am trying to catch up. Loved the discussion about Furry and the article by Chuck! Pattie, your account of your son's wedding was so moving, it brought tears to my eyes. Really! Maybe that was in anticipation since my youngest son might soon want to tie the knot with his girlfriend:-) But seriously, have you ever considered writing a column for some magazine? Monika asked what cd to begin with to get acquainted with Leonard Cohen's music, and since I have listened to him from the beginning and all through my life I feel I can give you some advice. Actually, you might just as well try one of "the best of Leonard Cohen" releases or "The Essential Leonard Cohen", for unlike Joni, Leonard did not go through any radical musical or lyrical changes. You could also start at the beginning with "The songs of Leonard Cohen" and then leap to "I'm your man" and they would both give you a good idea of Cohen's music and lyrics. I think you will like him! Tell us about your impressions, please, I'd love to know what you think! I am also thinking about your latest question, why Joni does not want the title of confessional songwriter anymore. Maybe it's because she turned outward and now thinks that confessional is equal to private and therefore less relevant? Before I went to Germany my email server malfunctioned so I don't know if my thanks to Dave for enlightening me on the subject of copyrights got through. If not, thanks again, Dave! Got to continue reading my mail now. Hope you all have a great summer!

My initial thought is that when one gains perspective--or has it thrust upon them!--as one ages, it's quite natural to reflect on the past and how one has grown and changed (or hasn't). In the case of an artist like Joni, it's an occupational hazard, since self-awareness and self-examination inform so much of her work. But from the start, she has also always turned an equally scrutinizing eye and ear to the people and the world around her, and has proven herself not only an astute chronicler of the times but an eerily prescient one at that. She also remains, at her core, a person who is intellectually (and perhaps spiritually) restless, a person who has constantly pursued knowledge and meaning and personal evolution thru her art more than anything else, for whom decades-old characterizations must be painful. And finally, like many artists, I suspect she rejects labels of (almost) any kind, because they're often reflective of only a brief moment in a long career, and usually bestowed by journalists (and record company marketing staff) in search of easy categorization. Just my impression--and there may be more . . . ;-) Terra On 7/9/08, Monika Bogdanowicz wrote: > > . . .

Therefore, it may be safe to use the year 1970, Rian. I think it's well established now that the "boy" in the song is Neil Young. She has discussed it before.

I would say that's right on the money, Terra. There are those who insist on calling her a "folksinger" no matter what, even though exactly NONE of her albums fit that description in my opinion. To use her description of herself as a painter, I think she would be more amenable to being told that musically she paints landscapes, portraits, and self-portraits.

I remember when she talked about the Socratic Society (just remember I think being the Just Ice taping, though that is not the name of the show) and that a label would put her in one class of people (aka musician - painter). I would imagine that none of us would like to wear just one label. Nothing frustrated me more then when I was a minister in a very conservative/fundamentalist church that people would assume that I was a /hawk right militant/, nobody new my history, nobody new what brought me to that place, and yet they assumed. I'm would think Joni like all of us likes to listen to the flow of things around her at the time, and in that finds her muse. Maybe, probably that's why I listen to her more then anyone she didn't grab on to a genre and stick with it trying to sell more records but not listening to herself, being herself. So all that to say, yeah I agree with Bob :).

Long-winded I am in the middle of Lloyd Whitesell's book, and he does a really great job identifying the different types of poetic speakers Joni employs. Now, since I'm a literary critic and poet by vocation, I think I'm in a position to judge the quality of his discussions of the poetry, and since I'm a musician by avocation, I can follow his discussion of the musical examples. But it strikes me that what is truly wonderful about the book is the way that he meshes musical and literary analysis. Because they are inseparable. In any event, I recommend _The Music of Joni Mitchell_ highly. This has a lot to do with my two cents on the confessional question, since much of my scholarly work is on the generation of poets who were defined as confessional poets, including Robert Lowell, whose book _Life Studies_ (1959) inspired M.L. Rosenthal to coin the term "confessional poetry." None of the poets deemed confessional (like Lowell's student Sylvia Plath) considered themselves "confessional." When asked how he reacted to being termed a "confessional poet," John Berryman answered, "With rage and contempt!" Elizabeth Bishop told Time magazine about her friends' poetry "Sometimes, you wish they'd keep some of these things to themselves." What these American poets are reacting to is the reductiveness of the term. I prefer the term "autobiographical lyric" which identifies the type of poem rather than the type of poet. Joni's work can't be pigeonholed. She rejects the label because it is inaccurate. Sure, it sticks, just like folksinger. But "confessional" is a troublesome and inaccurate adjective whether applied to poetry or songs. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:37:07 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: RE: Joni the confessional songwriter?

Now I can put the lyrics to all the tunes I add. Bob, as for you........I'll have to get a separate IPod just for the cheese BSN's. I've already put Jim Nabor's version on my present IPod. Just have to find the cover artwork for it. :) Actually, my new problem will be to stop purchasing songs from ITunes. There are so many fun dance or rap songs on video that I see at the gym, and I find myself buying at least one a day. It's so easy to click on that "buy now" button in the ITunes store. That 99 cents per song is going to add up quickly, and that's a quarter gallon of gas. I think tonight's lesson will be adding photos to the IPod. At least that won't cost me anything. I know this is sooooooo old hat to most of you who have owned an IPod for 2 or 3 yrs, but I feel like a little kid with a new toy. In the past few months, I've had to learn how to play Wii and WiiFit, a cell phone that does more than dial, and now an IPod. Next up will be getting out of the VCR age.

You can't label Joni as this or that (unless you "label" her as brilliant!) but in more recent interviews she seemed to reject the notion that she ever was a confessional songwriter. Perhaps that is not what she meant or I simply misunderstood. Or maybe she's so tired of that term that she just tries to reject it completely now to dissuade anyone from reeferring to her as that.
