My partner Steph, who has always been very supportive of my passion for Joni's music, has started to have dreams about Joni and asks me every morning if there's any news. She is a very political animal and a great grower of flowers and vegetables. Even she is concerned and curious about Joni's well being [. . . ]". Anita, what a lovely story! Thanks for sharing it. I have my own version: B a wonderful night in Detroit in 1998 when, for an entire dinner, my chair was facing in the opposite direction from Joni, who was seated with her band inches away, at another table. B After that, there were some words and stories (Joni's, and ours) in the hotel lobby, as we all waited for an elevator. B Some of you were there. B ;-) Take good care, Mary. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 10:31:18 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: MOA makes Rolling Stone's Top 50 Live Albums of all time. I prefer SAL myself but always good to see Joni getting positive press, especially these days: http://tinyurl.com/km9gd7n ***Joni Mitchell's first live album arrived at the peak of her fame. Recorded a couple months after her breakthrough Court and Spark debuted, the Canadian singer-songwriter documented the California stops on the tour supporting the new LP. Performing an expansive collection of tracks from her 1968 debut Song to a Seagull onward, Miles of Aisles carefully avoided the hits. "No one ever said to Van Gogh, 'Paint a "Starry Night" again, man," said Mitchell before playing "Circle Game." In 1991, she revealed to Rolling Stone why she made the comparison: "I never wanted to turn into a human jukebox. I haven't used up all my ideas yet. But I'm working in a pop field, and whether they're going to allow an older woman to do that is an open question. It requires a loyal, interested audience who believes in my talent."*** Loyal interested audience? Hey, she's talking about US! And yes, we're interested in all aspects of her including her health.
