It's called "U2's Unforgettable Fire," and it chronicles Lisa's "20 years backstage" with what many consider the greatest band ever. Certainly the most committed to world humanitarian causes. Great stuff." Has anyone read it yet?? Wishing you *all* peace, love, and understanding.

My heart leapt when my eyes moved down and saw, Elvis Costello Interviews Joni Mitchell, just under The Music Issue title. What a wonderful start to the weekend, and a nice way to honor Joni as her birthday approaches! Someone at Vanity Fair truly appreciates Joni, and my guess is that we can send our "thank yous" to Lisa Robinson, who has contributed a piece about U2 for this issue. Anway, I wanted to get the word out as I am so scooped by my clever, saavy fellow listers. Oh yes, Johnny Depp is on the VF cover.

But whats worse, (than this long time curse hurts) is when you can't sing the line for nuthin'! and you try and try, surrepticiously (sp?), but nevertheless out-loud, in various places and it sounds like crappola and its just plain WRONG! LOL!!!!!!!!! cuz I've been doing "we don't need no piece of paper from the city hall, keeping us tied and truh-ooh-ooh" all friggen' day and haven't gotten it right once! It does help tho - to be able to laugh at one's self. Happy Friday! :) em < Subject: Re: Joni Angels I found a lovely one....

Have many of you seen the video? Shot on the beach with a Teepee (sp?). Everyone should have a secret place that they can retreat to in their mind. And for those special friends, you share it with them. I think Secret Place, Cool Water and Beat Of Black Wings (great video with Joni as a man) are extraordinary! Wilbur I've always loved MSP, sonically, harmonically, lyrically. One of the better songs of that Joni era (of course some of us claim there were no good songs of that era, but I respectfully disagree).

Nice that an interviewer (Elvis) is so intimately acquainted with the work of the interview subject. Some interesting remarks from Joni (such as: she has recently composed some music that is as of yet lyricless; she doesn't remember her own work but rather learns it again when performing -- not so sure I believe that one). Lots of talk about TBoS (which Joni regards very highly). Worth the $4.50 cover price.

It all fits with Joni but for this New York City thing. How so, Nuriel? I read through the lyrics today a couple of times and they are generic and vague, actually very poor by Joni's standard. Nothing specific in the lyrics except for the part you referenced about being born & raised in NYC and moving to Colorado which pretty much ices the fact that it's *not* autobiographical. It's not totally a bad song...the production is 80's-synth stuff, sounds dated now. The quality of Peter Gabriel's voice (as much as I like it) is so similar to Joni's that I have a hard time determining when it's him & when it's her, making the conversational tone very ineffective. A B- beginning to a D+ record, imo. Sorry for being such a smartass before, but I truly had NO idea what you intended with your question.
