Your sharp observaton and very insightsful texts is >something very seldom found in the pop-industry. thanks Oddmund Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2005 19:12:11 +0200 (CEST) From: Oddmund Kaarevik Subject: open letter dear joni mitchell. i wanna thank you for making such great music. so massive texts. your art will go on and on. i'm sure. your music is whatever gets me through the day, it is' really. :-) And i want to thank for that. "Thank you, Joni, India, Canada, , etc " You Are Undoubtedly Queen Of Mind Beauty ( I have to buy a stickers from Patti, I love that black one)and you know i dream paprika plains now. although i've never seen them, you make me see them. they're here now, inside my head. and the lake and the river, and you skating away on it like a black crow. or hissing my summer lawns, oh Sharon, Oh Joni, Oh Canada. I don't know what I would do if I was forced to quit listening to your life-giving music, what kind of substitute would keep me alive, i really don't know. But I have your music,(and other mad people like me right here on the jmdl) We come for conversation, you know. Wonder what you think about us maniacs devoting ourselves to your texts, your voice, your music. You probably laugh ! about it all. And you know we laugh too. We smile. We dance. We sing, because you made us all come in from the cold, into your very warm arrangments. . . And that is so inspiring, so precious to me. Patti Smith said in an interview, that she was very depressed in her youth and wanted to die. But she couldn't die untill she heard the next 'stones album. And I can't die because your music gives me so much life, inspiration, joy. Not that I want to die, but if I wanted, I still haven't listened much to "Taming the tiger" or "Song to a seagull" , and "Don Juans reckless daughter" or "Clouds" or your early unreleased songs;So, I have to live! You makes me wanna live. To love. To play pinn-ball. And I am ever so grateful. Thank you! Your sharp observaton and very insightsful texts is something very seldom found in the pop-industry. Through the years I have observed that musicians in all music genres admire you and your work, and point to you when they're asked for people who have inspire! d and influenced them. And I know that you, our lady of duality, not always appreciate to be set togethet with these other artists, and that's okay. But we love you, we really do! And I'm warm now. I have come in from the cold. You made my day, once more My candles are burning here in the room My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light.

There are several Joni mentions: the interviewer mentions to Carly that Joni Mitchell must hate her for stealing arguably the most beautiful and talented musician around at the time from her. "Oh, No!" says Simon "I like her a lot, We're friends. She's fantastic. And James is talking to her but not me." There is also another Joni mention something to the effect that when James first met her ..Joni had to practically drag him away. It's a great article ...the Joni mentions an extra bonus.

It is very disappointing. Her voice is pretty shot.
