How many people realize that Joni has released "boring classical records?" No Regrets, Coyote Symphony Space's Wall to Wall Joni Mitchell event ran from 11 to 11 last Saturday, from the bright Chelsea morning to the night ride home, longer than a Danny Tenaglia DJ set, and because the Voice doesn't pay me by the hour, I don't have an opinion about half of it. Until now, Symphony Space had reserved the "Wall to Wall" treatment for the Bachs and Ellingtons of the world. Mitchell is the first pop songwriter to have her jersey raised to the Space's rafters, but at times, Saturday's ceremony seemed designed to honor her as everything but; representatives from jazz and folk and opera claimed Mitchell's catalog in the name of big-C "culture," a rather blinkered stance to take toward an artist who has worked with Billy Idol and Cheech and Chong, and a thumb of the snoot to those of us who still file her records, even the boring classical ones, under "Rock/M." Performers who chose to navigate the hills and switchbacks of Mitchell's catalog like fans, not curators, fared best. Suzzy Roche introduced "A Case of You" by saying she hadn't sung Joni in public since her seventh-grade talent show, where she placed fourth; when she finished, she stomped her feet in triumph. Greg Tate's Burnt Sugar Chamber Arkestra rendered "The Jungle Line"a Burundi banger from 1975's The Hissing of Summer Lawns, and Joni-fanatic Prince's favoriteas abstruse and barbed as Rammellzee's autograph. And poetry ambassador Bob Holman (backed by poets Jackie Sheeler and Vicki Hudspith, and a three-piece North Jersey alt-rock band) turned 114 of Mitchell's lines into a megamix called "Jonicento," cracking, "By the time we got to Woodstock, they put up a parking lot!" Goofy but sincere, Holman's crew honored Mitchell's oeuvre better than anyone else, treating it like a river of words on which to skate, and staggered off like they'd just split a case of the good stuff.

I guess that comes from reading too many Hardy Boys books! :~) A couple of other notes...Kay York changed the lyric in Sex Kills to "and the oil BURNS..." obviously referring to the Iraqi wells. There was definitely an over-riding feeling of relevance of Joni's career and the current world situation. I went running at lunchtime, and was replaying Helga Davis' set over in my head, and I started crying again...while I was running! That's never happened to me before, I was really touched by what she and her ensemble did. Especially this section: "He said "I never had nothin' Nothin' I could believe in My girl killed our unborn child Without even grievin I put my hands on her belly To feel the kid kickin' damn! She'd been to some clinic Oh the beat of black wings" "They want you they need you They train you to kill To be a pin on some map Some vicarious thrill The old hate the young That's the whole heartless thing The old pick the wars We die in 'em To the beat of the beat of black wings" It was just SO powerful...to see these words being sung by someone who can express it all...OK, I guess I'm belaboring the point.

It's really hard for me to put into words. I keep hearing Helga, too, and picturing her as she sang, and her movements became stiffer and stiffer. By the end of Black Wings it looked like she was in such emotional and physical pain she was immobile. Those lyrics could be sung with anger or indignation or self-righteousness or resignation. There was none of that in this performance. Instead, there was bewilderment, pain, vulnerabilty and more pain. And, amazingly, not in an "emoting" way. It felt real. No emotional distance. It went way beyond that one person singing and that one person's feelings; it went into the current war, and even beyond that into the suffering part of being human that most people put a lot of effort into trying to deny. And then to have the lyrics of Love as an attempt to heal that suffering... Your tears make sense to me, Bob.

It's not real good dirt, but according to Sue Mingus it was not a story that had been previously shared... Joni tells the story about when she & Don alias saw the scene that provided her with the ending to "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", which she was struggling with, the line being: So the sidewalk leads us with music To two little dancers Dancing outside a black bar There's a sign up on the awning It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar" And there's black babies dancing Tonight (And she adds "Don & Me" on the S&L version) Anyway, the 'dirt' is that that same night she & Don entered a dancing contest in the club - and WON!

I hope, too, that it's done in the same vein as the live version Joni does on the "Miles of Ailes" album. It's definitely got that Stevie funk-thang goin' on! I love this live version and prefer it to the waify original with Joni's dying cat vocals at the end. I'm sure purists will strongly disagree! But I don't care. By the way, here's the finished track listing for the ill-fated "A Case of Joni" tribute CD, which was supposed to have been released 3 years ago. The ones with stars were previously recorded and released commercially; And we get an idea of what Elton John will dish up thanks to the TNT Tribute special where he performed "Free Man In Paris" live: PM Dawn, Night in the City *Annie Lennox, Ladies of the Canyon Stevie Wonder, Woodstock Janet Jackson, Beat of Black Wings Duncan Sheik, Court and Spark kd lang, Help Me *Sarah McLachlan, Blue Elvis Costello, Edith and the Kingpin Chaka Khan, Hejira Etta James, Amelia Elton John, Free Man In Paris Bjork, Boho Dance Lindsey Buckingham with Mick Fleetwood, Big Yellow Taxi I want this CD!! - -Andrew Yahoo!
