I was impressed that several of them played authentic tunings for the songs. I especially like that the Stacey cover of BSN was pretty close to Joni's version, while the zither player did the Judy Collins version, notwithstanding the dissing Stacey got from Jade and Dexter (that's what I'm calling them ... until someone comes up with better names!!) hahahaaha!!!

My youngest son had come down for the day, and it has become a bit of a tradition then to go and see a film in the afternoon. Well the choice was limited: some action and horror films, and then "The Kids are Alright" with Julianne Moore and Annette Bening, so that's what we went to see. It wasn't exactly on my "must see" list because I expected something much more predictable, but I thought it would be interesting enough to give it a go. (In short the plot for those who don't know: the teenage children of a lesbian couple decide to trace their sperm donor "father".) My ears already pricked up when I heard that the 18-year old daughter was called Joni. Then at a very crucial scene (I won't go into detail for those who still want to go and see the film) one of the "2 mothers" looks through the "sperm donor's" record collection (yes, a good old vinyl collection as well!), and she picks out Blue and the camera zooms in on it. Then follows a conversation about how these main characters love Joni Mitchell, how the girl was named after her, how their favourite album is Blue, etc. They list several of the songs and then Annette Bening sings almost the whole of All I Want. It is a very emotional bonding moment in the film's narrative, I have never heard Joni Mitchell mentioned in such a meaningful way in any film before more (meaningful than in Love Actually). I also had a giggle when someone said: "You must be one of the very few non-gay guys who likes Joni" - or something of that ilk. My son sat grinning through the whole scene, expecting me to join in with the singing at any moment. I thought it was a very good, finely observed and superbly acted film. Lesbians may not like one particular part of the story (again I won't mention it, to avoid spoiling it for anyone) but I think that most of them will be quite happy, given the context and rationale of that aspect. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has seen this film, and to find out what they thought, and if they enjoyed the Joni surprise as much as I did.
