Maybe I'm a little too liberal in my thinking, but this sounds a bit severe to me. So what if Joan smoked some weed, and occasionally tooted a little coke with her musician friends? That doesn't constitute having to "kick a drug habit" in my book. And I've been under the impression for years that Hejira came about mostly from her meditations on her solo drive home from the East Coast (after driving there with friends) because "it was her car" and someone had to get it back. I've never seen Hejira or her definition of "running away in honor" as running away from a drug scene. "Hejira" just fit the traveling theme to the album. Although in a much deeper sense, it wouldn't surprise me if the definition "running away in honor" still was how she felt about having to give up Kilauren. I'll forever believe *that* has affected her profoundly......which in turn, drove her more deeply into her art....including the insightful lyrics on the album Hejira. Just rambling on a Sunday night.

I recall her saying she wrote two songs on coke, one of them was Song for Sharon, written while she was on the Hejira. The context of the interview was whether drug use made one more creative. Joni's opinion was that it was bunk, at least from her own experience. She has stated repeatedly that she has never tried heroin.

Well, I never tried heroin because I thought, "What's the point? The worst that could happen would be you'd like it. But altered consciousness is completely tempting to a writer. I did some good writing, I think, on cocaine - Song For Sharon (Hejira) - but it kills your heart, takes all your energy, puts it up in your brain and gives you the arrogance that, you know, ruined Jaco Pastorius. I didn't find anything that indicated Joni had a "habit." In fact, she made a couple of references to people "protecting" her from drugs while everyone around her was doing them. BTW, as to searching JMDL: there are archives of the list, but the archives are not searchable. And there is no FAQ on the page. So there is no reasonable way for a person to determine what has been discussed before.

Here's the notice: JONI MITCHELL speaks intimately on the making of her new album, Both Sides Now, which she has called "a history of love in the twentieth century." Hear why the 71-piece back-up orchestra wept during recording session playbacks. Webcast at 1 p.m. ET on RadioWoodstock.com's Organic Channel. I hope they archive the interview so those of us who missed it will be able to listen to it later! I'll let you know if they do. To listen to the RadioWoodstock.com broadcast, follow the link below: JONI'S RADIOWOODSTOCK.COM INTERVIEW" http://www.radiowoodstock.com/ Joni Mitchell Speaks! Pop/folk/rock/jazz singer's monologue on the making of her new album, on RadioWoodstock's Organic Channel by Todd Paul Who: Joni Mitchell What: Monologue on RadioWoodstock’s Organic channel When: Monday, May 8, 1 p.m. ET With Both Sides Now, her new release on Reprise Records, Joni Mitchell has achieved something extraordinary. The artist—she painted all the CD cover and insert illustrations, as well as creating the music—has blown new life into a collection of exquisite old chestnuts dating to the twenties, thirties and forties. More than that, she has arranged her material to “trace the arc of a modern romantic relationship,” from the initial “You’re My Thrill” through “Sometimes I’m Happy” to the concluding title song. Mitchell herself penned only two of these pieces, and none of them are new; but like any artist, Mitchell’s job is to make them new. This she does. Even her previously-released material, the title song and “A Case Of You,” are re-recorded here in new settings, with new feeling. The entire album features jazzy and orchestral settings, courtesy of the London Symphony Orchestra, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, and Mitchell’s voice here is of the caliber of Sarah Vaughan. We always knew the lady could sing jazz; anyone who remembers “Twisted,” from Court And Spark, won’t be surprised by the resonant timbre of Mitchell’s voice. What’s new here is a wholesale embrace of the music for itself and in the service of the cd’s concept. Mitchell is singing songs she loves here, regardless of their age, source or popularity. After 20 albums and 30 years of writing, recording and performing, Joni Mitchell deserved to make this album. We deserve to hear it. If you’re interested in the process an artist like Mitchell goes through in making an album, you’re in luck; we have Mitchell’s own words describing that process. Tune in to RadioWoodstock’s Organic Channel Monday, May 8, at 1 p.m. for a monologue by Mitchell on the making of Both Sides Now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm on digest so if anyone else posted this I haven't seen it..........sorry for the double post.

I remembered the Biblical aspects (such as the Zaccheus reference) from going to church and Sunday school as a kid, but the way you tied everything together with capitalism made for a really nice analysis... And the following? "I've always found it amazing that right-wing Christians think they're following Jesus. His sympathies were clearly with the poor and the downtrodden, whereas fundamentalists tend to be pro-business and to oppose any government programs that assist the poor." Absolutely! I've thought about that so many times over the years!

According to VH1, the top 100 were chosen by other women artists. So it has some validity to it. The top 5 were: #5-Joni Mitchell #4-Bonnie Raitt #3-Janis Joplin #2-Tina Turner #1-Aretha Franklin They only spent a few minutes on each. 13:30 for all five. The clip of Joni at the piano playing Woodstock is from the video "Celebration at Big Sur." If you missed it, it will probably be on again VH1 is like that so watch for it.

I'm glad to have come across it. I am a pretty recent Joni-phile, really, but getting quite intense about it... and I am so excited because I splurged and bought a ticket to see her play at Pine Knob in Detroit!! It isn't a particularly good seat, but at least I'll be there and so will the Woman herself. I can't complain. :) I am a little nervous about whether I'll like the whole orchestra thing - I listened to part of BSN at a record store, and I didn't really have a chance to warm up to it. I wonder whether Joni will perform any of her own stuff at the concert (besides ACOY - one of my favorite songs and I too found the orchestral arrangement cheesy - and BSN). Crossing my fingers for Amelia - my current favorite. Anyhow, is anyone on this list going to the Pine Knob show?? I am in a tricky situation as I don't have a car and don't know anyone else going... If anyone here is going from Ann Arbor (or nearby) please consider taking me along for the ride! I'm good company :) Soon I'm going to start postering Ann Arbor, begging for a ride!

I was in a local record store yesterday and they had 3 Joni CD's I had never seen before. They were labeled as imports and titled "Joni Mitchell - unplugged and jammin,'" or something like that. It looked like they had a lot of live stuff, including she and James Taylor on the BBC. They were labeled vol.s 1,2 & 3. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they worth getting? They were $25 each, so I'll have to take out a second mortgage on the house!!!!!

I have always wondered what, if anything, could make me watch Leno, and I guess Joni would be the one reason that I could bring myself to not watch Dave but watch Leno instead, but I'd hate to actually have to endure watching Leno with no Joni, so can we confirm that Joni is not appearing on Leno tonight?

I don't how we can get early confirmation one way or the other, without someone staking out NBC studios in Burbank to see if Joni shows up or not. All I know is that she had been listed as tonight's guest on Leno, as recently as the end of last week (also in our TV guide that came in yesterday's Sunday paper), but when I went to check the Leno website again this morning, she was gone....replaced with Brad Paisley. I was looking forward to it too! I so hope it's just a matter of Leno's web page being as flaky today as his monologue.

I would argue that all of Joni's songs are drawn,in some sense,from specific experience and circumstances but that they still work and are still relevant outside of the era in which they were written. The logical conclusion of David's thesis would be to confine the songs to a museum.Joni,or anybody else ,would never be able to perform the songs again if this argument were to prevail.IMHO all songs are are there to be reworked and reinterpreted. Surely that is the basis on which an album such as BSN works and why Joni recorded it. "They didn't ask VanGogh to paint a starry night again man". ACOY works in the new context precisely because it has its place in the development of a relationship, most people when in love will have been in position where they cant get enough of the person they love,sadly often just a passing phase. IMHO this is why Joni chose that particular song in that particular place. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 May 2000 18:24:50 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: BSN tour << I've been happily lurking for about a week - this list is so lovely and erudite!

These are NOT imports, they are BOOTLEGS which should not be legally available in the store, but hey, the guys just trying to turn a buck so who can blame him. Luckily you have the JMDL! I can hook you up with Vols. 1/2 for the cost of blanks & postage. If anyone else has Volume 3 I'd like to hear about it...I can tell you that 1/2 are very worthwhile with lots of bits & pieces from various shows. I especially love all the Johnny Cash material...

They probably mean Joni Mitchell Original work (as opposed to covers).... I'm still a bit doubtful that she'll give up writing entirely but I guess she still has these projects to deliver. Hopefully she'll deliver old songs say by July and the Christmas Album by Christmas! (I can hear the laughs now!) I am a little disappointed to think that we will probably get the last of these two at the end of NEXT year.

You're the first confirmation that Joni cancelled for tonight. I saw, and posted about it, that they had taken her name off Leno's webpage earlier today, replacing her with Paisley.
