I will search for them! Thanks!! I saw her the first time in 1979 and then she toured again in 83. I remember being pregnant and worrying that I might give birth at her show. My baby arrived early so I saw her solo.

One is that Joni, as well as Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman, contributed songs that could potentially have been used in the film "Midnight Cowboy." Most of you have heard that story before. Here's a story concerning to Harry Nilsson's being asked to produce some tracks for an album by Frank Stallone, brother of Silvester (Rocky/Rambo) Stallone. One of the songs Stallone was recording was Joni's "Case of you," and Nilsson contributed background vocals. Nilsson used to call Stallone Stalloneoni, and in Stallone's story quoted below, he seems to be getting a couple of songs mixed up. Quoted in this book, Frank Stallone says: "We were recording a song called "Take it from the boys," and Harry was behind the glass... Harry had been drinking, and on this song he was driving me crazy. He was a Gemini and seemed to be almost like two people. At this point he got so anal about certain things on the record. I was singing a line that went something like: "If you want me I'll be in the bar." He would come on the talkback and say, "No, Stalloneoni, 'be in the ba-ar.' OK?" I wonder how many of you found yourselves singing that line while reading? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2014 06:27:52 -0800 From: Betsy Blue Subject: Joni mention-Klosterman book I just finished "I Wear the Black Hat" by Chuck Klostermam. The subject is villains, and in the OJ Simpson chapter, Joni Mitchell and Not to Blame are mentioned. I am fairly certain the song, released October 1994, was written before the June 1994 murders discussed in this chapter. The author also mentions the Jackson Browne-Darryl Hannah relationship that is clearly the inspiration, which Joni has denied. By the way, in this book, Browne is not a villain for (allegedly) beating women, but possibly for writing for The Eagles. I didn't like this book as much as others by the same author, but it passed the time.
