I have been fortunate to have been with teachers who have helped me find great support from animals, rocks, plants and trees that have special meanings at different times for me. Helps me manage my usual gloomy existential angst about meaninglessness :-) Anita x ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:46:57 +0200 From: Moni Kellermann Subject: Re: Coyote Am 28.04.2013 10:21, Wie David Marine so vortrefflich formulierte: > I've read from time to time the speculation that the song "Coyote" > referred to the actor Peter Coyote. This was mentioned and more or less debunked in 1999 in an interview between the late Wally Breese and David Lahm: http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=1358 As for the previous discussions about Coyote and Sam Shepard which go back to 2001, see the archives of this list: https://encrypted.google.com/search?&q=coyote+sam+shepard+site:smoe.org On the wikipedia page for the song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_(song) it says that "In Chris O'Dell's 2009 autobiography Miss O'Dell she details an affair she had with married playwright Sam Shepard and states that Shepard then cheated on her with Joni Mitchell. O'Dell claims that "Coyote" is written about Sam Shepard." Further, this is also discussed in Chapter 14 of Sheila Weller's book which you can read here (scroll down the page to "Page 421 - Joni Mitchell writes Coyote": http://www.girlslikeusthemusic.com/chapter-fourteen/ To sum this all up: Coyote is Sam Shepard and not Peter Coyote. There doesn't seem to be an interview available where Joni would have talked about this. moni k. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:24:09 -0400 (EDT) From: BarbaRent7@aol.com Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V2013 #549 Thank you, Steve! I didn't realize. My apologies. I wanted SO much to ask Ms. Mitchell when she was nearby in 29 Palms several years ago if she having a chelsea morning? But she was with her daughter then, having dinner at the Inn and about to explore our Joshua Tree National Park so didn't want to bug them. Its just so cool that she knows about this desert area where I live and am mesmerized by. May you all have chelsea mornings! Barbara of the SoCal desert In a message dated 4/27/2013 9:51:29 A.M.
