It does make one wonder what the true nature of "retirement" is. I always thought it meant that you had stopped doing something for good because you were old enough and had saved up enough money to do NOTHING for the rest of your life, or devote time to something you really enjoy doing but couldn't find a way of being paid to do it. It could mean just a temporary withdrawal though. This last time, I think she maybe/kinda means it, but who knows? She may not be writing any new songs, but what about those compilations?

Makes me kind of wish Kate would do an all-Joni album, something I've wished of others, including k d lang and Shawn Colvin. Speaking of Kate, is there any more word as to whether she's working on an album -- it's been quite a while, but I seem to remember reading some time back that she was working on something, possibly for release in '05. i know The Red Shoes got a dissappointing reception, but I'd hate to think of her hanging up her magical muse forever.

She mentions looking at the daily rushes' - were they filming the film of 'Rolling Thunder' (Reynaldo and Clara?), was she inspired by the haphazard footage of what was taken? I can certainly imagine so... each stanza starts with an image, so it's more than likely... Nice that she starts off with the whole movement of the chords before she gets into the vocal, just to introduce it to the new listeners. No image of the farmhouse burning down... pity... or my favourite line about Coyote smelling her scent on his fingers while watching a waitress' legs. I guess it was embryonic, the structure was there, we just needed the rest of the story. Thanks for that Les, I'd've never heard it otherwise.

Central Standard Time, anima_rising@yahoo.ca writes: If Joni Mitchell writes and performs a song that touches us deeply, does that entitle us to know all about her private life? Hi Catherine, Thought provoking question. Thanks. Joni's opened more of her private life than most I would say. But, from a song that touches me deeply, I know Joni only recalls her private life's illusions, so we would only see once removed illusions if we did have a look at "all" of her private life. The forest is beautiful and so are the individual trees she's made visible through her interviews and songs. But I realize that "no one knows, they can never get that close, guesses at most, guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching..."

She also performed Edith and the Kingpin and Don't Interrupt The Sorrow that evening, and would typically perform those three songs from this date forward, at least from the recordings that I have. Besides this Coyote debut, her singing a verse of "This Land Is Your Land" along with everyone else for a closer each night was pretty cool. Maybe you can make that NEXT week's mp3. :~) Bob - - --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo! Find restaurants, movies, travel & more fun for the weekend.
