You must have been standing at the stage door right where I was after the show! I remember the fellow asking Joni for a kiss, and I was kicking myself for not thinking of asking first. I asked something dumb like "when will you perform back in Detroit again?" I have her autograph from the program in a frame. I wonder if she signed it with YOUR pen??? :-) What a small world! Do you remember her playing "Rainy Night House" and making a mistake? She stopped and said something like, "Oh I'm so sorry, I guess I'll just have to start all over again" or something like that? She was just beautiful. A friend (not into Joni) and I took the train from Detroit to Stratford to see her. When I run into him now he always says, "Remember when we went to Stratford to see Joni Mitchell?" How filled with hope I was in my younger days!!

Does anyone on the list know how to do this? I apologize for not including the NJC tag, but maybe someone with an answer is a Joni-only.

I found it in the anthology Sweet Nothings, and it was reprinted from Puerto del Sol. Water falls white on the white washed stones, fingers light on piano or the spine of a lover. Sobs and exultations, the open mouths and eyes of astounded houses, doves dead in mid-air, a scatter of leaves like torn astrologies. With her voice full of swords and blossoms, salt and blond honey, voice like the ruffle of air off the tip of the heron's wing, she sings the scrawl of blood and the fiery scripture of nerves written under the skin. We've slept like mountains, but now drum and saxophone swim in our bodies, hook-jawed salmon that leap the black keys, dying for the drowned genital stars, their fine bones singing like tuning forks. And there are guitars overflowing like drunken goblets, shiny sea-turtles dragging inland, heavy with eggs. There are sparrows dreaming in the cradles of her wrists, and roses, and ashes, and oceans collapsing on empty beaches, sliding back helpless and rising again. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- messling@enter.net - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 16:39:28 -0800 From: Mike Friedman Subject: Re: Ab Fab BUBBLE....BUBBLE....

The proceeds will go to Cobain's estate. The book will be published in November. "We're really impressed with the level of interest that people showed," said a person associated with the deal. "Riverhead did a good job convincing that they knew how to treat something like this." Last week, editors were literally standing in line to see the 23 notebooks, around 800 pages altogether. Competitors were made to queue up outside the Edith Wharton Room in downtown New York's Inn at Irving Place; upon entering, they heard a brief pitch from agent David Vigliano and then got a peek at the property. People who have seen the diaries say they contain the minstrel of melancholia's black-and-white drawings as well as lyrics and lists of musicians who influenced him over the years. Joni Mitchell was tops early on, but indie divas the Breeders took the No. 1 slot later.

The article is called On the Road Again about author Elizabeth Wurtzel who wrote a book called "Prozac Nation" and has now come out with another called "More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction." In reaction to the less-than-stellar reviews, it says, "She doesn't understand why the literary world gives her such a hard time for writing another autobiography. "Joni Mitchell has 20 albums about her emotional problems," she points out, "and nobody says, 'Oh my God ... can't she do anything else?'"

I believe you can do it online. The website is http://www.nmpa.org/hfa.html . Many of Joni's songs are listed there which means anyone can record them...it costs about 7.75 cents per song per CD that she plans to duplicate to do this. I think you have to pay upfront on the CDs you plan to manufacture as opposed to the CDs you actually sel.. I haven't done it but have checked it out & it appears to be very straightforward & easy.

I wonder > if she signed it with YOUR pen??? :-) Gary, this is too wild. There were only a very few of us, as I recall, right backstage, with Joni kind of perched on the edge of some sort of platform behind the curtain. The lucky one of us asked for a kiss, and I asked something about her recording with other musicians (she said she had some people in mind). When someone asked for an autograph she said she didn't have a pen and I handed her mine. Without a doubt she used my pen to sign your autograph. (The autograph that I got was thrown out by accident by my mother years later.) When I left the theatre I realized that she had kept my pen, so I went around back to the stage door in hopes of seeing her again and getting my (by now) very special pen back. She came out about ten minutes later with three men, one of whom was Elliot Roberts. I got up the nerve to ask for my pen and I can recall the exact expression on her face and tone of her voice as she apologized for losing it, saying she was always losing other peoples' pens. She pulled a daisy from the bouquet someone had given her and said "Would you like a flower instead?" Umm, yeah. The daisy didn't make it back home. I took the overnight bus back to Toronto and spent a few hours waiting in Union Station for the train home. As ill-fate would have it there was a blood donor clinic there that morning so I gave blood and while I was in the recovery area, someone stole my jacket with the daisy in the pocket from the coat rack. > Do you remember her playing "Rainy Night House" and making a > mistake? She stopped and said something like, "Oh I'm so > sorry, I guess I'll just have to start all over again" or > something like that? She was just beautiful. She wore a floor length velvety dress, maybe burgundy, that moved so enthrallingly when she swayed side to side, especially during Night In The City. The entire audience was in the palm of her hand. I have no physical mementos left but the magic is indelibly etched in my mind. I'm so glad you were there to share it.

I thought the question was too easy! What other women singers have a first name of Joni???

Well, its now past my offical birthday time (10:05 pm) so I am one year older now. What an amazing gift to receive so many birthday greetings from so many jmdlers! It is truly a unique group we have here...it started with joni but truly goes so much further & deeper than that. I had a regular Tuesday day, with periodic calls from family & friends & then Jeff & I went out to a nice dinner to a place that I had never been to. I had a fish I had never heard of before called Char...they said it was from Canada & it was delicious (like Salmon). I had wine, champagne & the most decadent chocolate truffle that was melty inside! Yum. Time to check out that ornery Ryan Adams on Leno...(Did anyone go to his show in LA last night?)
