I have always thought so. I'm glad to hear someone else voice the same opinion. It doesn't diminish her gift or her moment in the zeitgeist one bit; she is human, not a goddess....despite our personal adoration. Because she's illuminated so many personal feelings for us, maybe we overlook or explain away some of her actions. In the end, it is her humanity that is attractive, not her pedestal.

I touched in with Les the other day not knowing exactly what to do. What had started out as a wonderful study and emersion into Joni's songs quickly turned into a painful vigil with the news of her illness. My response from Les and hopefully from you all too is that I should just "go for it," and press on with this powerful music and tribute. "Celebration of Joni Mitchell" is barely a year in the making and plays music from every decade. If any of you are in the areas where we're playing I hope that you stop in and say hi! We'll be in Galway, Ireland May 8th, then back in the U.S on the West Coast after that. Here we are; Celebration Of Joni Mitchell. We're based in Santa Barbara & Ventura, California. www.celebrationofjonimitchell.com Enjoy! In love and gratitude to Joni, Kimberly Ford - - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni-digest@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni-digest@smoe.org] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 7:00 PM To: joni-digest@smoe.org Subject: JMDL Digest V2014 #2039 JMDL Digest Thursday, April 16 2015 Volume 2014 : Number 2039 ========== TOPICS and authors in this Digest: - - -------- Coming in from the cold (NJC) ["mep chorus.net" ] - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 20:59:17 -0500 From: "mep chorus.net" Subject: Coming in from the cold (NJC) Hello, all: My original introduction/reintroduction post of a few weeks ago somehow kept bouncing back to me, so I thought I'd try again. Like others here, I joined (or in my case, re-joined) the JMDL when I learned of Joni's recent hospitalization. At that moment, the list seemed the best place to be for some much-needed heart, humor, and humility. For those who don't know me, I was one of the list's old-timers from back in the mid-90's, but got caught up in life and technical difficulties a few years back. I've been an admirer of Joni's music since I first heard parts of "Court & Spark" at 15 in high school study hall, and feel privileged to have heard her in concert four times (one of which was that wonderful tour of 1979!). The JMDL was the first online list I ever joined, and I enjoyed meeting so many friends of spirit. For those who do know me, I'm sorry for the long absence. The big news is that I lost my job a few years back due to legislative changes that effectively repealed the state statute on which my legal career had been based. I went back to school and am now considering several new options, all of them pretty interesting! It's been great to see the old names, and to get to know the people behind the new ones. As someone from the old days used to sign off (Jamie Z., are you still here??): "Much Joni."

If generally thoughtful Joni Mitchell fans (and yes many of us are passionate and emotional and artsy blah blah) cannot get along on an email board, what chance in hell does this world have of making peace? If people who should be able to be better examples falter (yes EGO!!!) and choose the wrong thing out of hand because of our emotions, what makes us any better than warmongers and people who shake their pom poms at violence.Love and peace to all despite our humanness ;)-Clint On Friday, April 17, 2015 12:52 AM, woconnor wrote: So what!
