I was expecting a grand announcement when the new website was up but, it's up now and I can break my silence. I was sworn to secrecy until the new site was available because I have been made one of the administrators. It is a great honour and priveledge to be the administrator of the wallpapers section of jonimitchell.com. Thank you, Les. For all those who have enjoyed my wallpapers and for those who missed any, they are available to download from jonimitchell.com/wallpaper. So now I am calling for those creative people who would like to or who have created Joni themed wallpapers to e-mail them directly to me (there is also a link on the site). If they meet the criteria, they will be displayed and made available for others to download. They need to be in .jpg format and a resolution of 1224 X 768 pixels and be Joni related. Congratulations to all the administrators of the new JoniMitchell.com Especially Les.

I've enjoyed the last couple of weeks of postings so much!!!! I feel 50/50% about Joni being there...if not she will have very logical reasons why not to attend. I never knew this was a Tribute AND a benefit for Music for Children....and I didn't know the painting Joni sold was to benefit the WarChild Foundation. I need some help....who knows how to pick a lock on a filing cabinet? I'm ready to blow up the thing. Many of my more or less criminally-minded pals have given it their best shot but to no avail. The thing is, my Joni file is in it and I've been keeping this file since around 1971. I wanted to post a listing of all that I've saved in case someone wants a copy of something. Here, in Jersey, the weather is calmer....right after last week's storm I saw a gigantic tree completely uprooted along with outside air-conditioning units. And, of course, there was no availability of any sort of service through the cable company. But things are fine now. Hoping all of our love and support is being showered over Marianne. All be well.

I guess I just don't see it. You seem to have missed some bits of information: Joni telling Julius that she'd be performing at a kid's event, a lister's cousin (?) who is the sound guy at Carnegie saying they're preparing for Joni, and the date of February 1, which is the date of her major debut at Carnegie in 1969. It felt like an appropriate symbolic joni-like gesture to have her swan song on the same date, same place. It's not at all surprising that Joni wouldn't attend the pre-concert party in the Cafe (and Julius in his letter acknowledged that it would be unlikely). But the thought that she'd be at the tribute concert had some basis, albeit not much. The date may just be a coincidence (or the cheapest date to rent Carnegie Hall), and there may be some other kid event she had in mind, or she's changed her mind and just doesn't want to go, or is not feeling well these days. From the outside, it's impossible to know. Things easily get blown out of proportion by people in love, which some fans are. Also, I think it's easier for someone who's not directly involved (that is, not planning to go the concert) to get more upset about Joni not being there. The people committed to going will make the best of it and enjoy the experience no matter what Joni does, especially if travel arrangements are already made and money spent. It does feel like the idea of Joni attending and performing was floated for a while, long enough to get people excited and help sell tickets quickly. In contrast, when I got tickets for the Wall to Wall tribute a few years ago, the ticket person made it very clear that Joni would not be there. Maybe if I'd bought my tickets at Carnegie's box office and asked about it, I would have been told then that Joni wouldn't be there, but getting tickets online there was no chance for asking (and I didn't even think of needing to ask because of all the buzz about her being there). So Joni's no-show is disappointing, but not a huge deal for me since I'm no longer in love, and haven't been for a few years now. Joni's music is great and always will be, but I'm not identifying with her in her crabby, unappreciative, retreading of old material, older age. Die-hard fanhood is as much about identifying with the artist as a person (or at least that person's public persona) as it is about liking whatever product she or he is selling. I love her music. I'm no longer a die-hard fan. Things change... And it's going to be a very happy concert. And maybe a better one, freer and more adventurous than it would be if she was there.

More than a week ago, Les posted some news to the official site's log: The boss' log says, >January 14, 2006: Recently spotted on Cassandra Wilson's website: "Early November 2005, worked on a Joni Mitchell Tribute project for Nonesuch records. Brandon Ross, Kenny Davis, Gregoire Maret, and Jeffrey Haines. These guys are my family. We spent two days together at Allaire Studios in Shokan. The leaves had completely turned before and fell the day after we recorded. For The Roses was well worth the wait. I used to do it back in the '80's and could not remember the tuning. But have no fear, the guitar god is here. Thanks, Brandon." No other information about it at this time! (li)> News as it... uh... is discovered...

So some people may overreact in both positive and negative ways. Unless it goes on and on, or lots of people jump on the negative bandwagon, an overreaction or two doesn't bother me, but, of course, not everyone would feel that way. I hope Joni knows how protective some people feel toward her. Her fans are not all gimme gimme take take take all the time. Debra Shea Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The idea that by turning down any offer (assuming there even was one) to participate in this event was not aimed at her fans, or that she owes us to turn up in NYC at a time we've selected, is absurd. After all, she never even hinted that she might want to do this concert, or that she was going to be there. This was an assumption (she's GOT to be there!) that snowballed into an accepted fact (she WILL be there!). My 2 cents : Michael I think you're right. At this point it doesn't matter how this assumption became fact. What does matter to me is that for some of you it was the last chance to see Joni before she disappears completely into retirement. So, my point is very pragmatic : Joni isn't reading the List. Is there a possibility that Joni herself doesn't know that so many fans from all over the world are going to NYC with the one hope of hearing her perform 1 song ? If this is the case, then perhaps her knowing this might make her change her mind ? It is clear from Sam Feldman's office that Joni is not planning to be there at all, not just the vip party. So at this point there's nothing to lose. Why don't you find a way to pass on the info to Joni before it's too late ? If she can't then so be it. I just hate losing a fight without even trying. I admire you all for your positive attitude and I'm sure you'll have a good time either way.

Hi Mary Katherine - these are good questions, and would probably generate as many different answers as there are people here to repond. I would say that the issue is not that she doesn't LIKE others but that she resents having them compared to her when she doesn't see or hear any similarity or see them challenging themselves the way that she has done. She has responded this way regarding Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, Rickie Lee Jones, Jewel, and others. Although she comes off as being arrogant and egotistical, I think she is just being honest, plus I think there's a real resentment when she sees someone who is following the trails that she blazed and is having the success that she herself never had. Though to hear Joni say it, she never wanted the success, not sure that I believe that, I think she just wanted the success more on her own terms and was not going to allow herself to be manipulated by the public and the marketplace. She wanted to win the game without playing the game. At least that's my take on it. And I don't think she's a negative person at all - she's enjoyed her career and in conversation always seems to be able to find the humor and joy in things. I think her written publicity of late has painted her to be resentful & negative, but I would label that a false perception for the most part. Negativity makes for a more interesting story, so that's the slant that the press has taken. Just my take on it, and nothing more. Bob NP: REM, "Camera" - --------------------------------- Yahoo!

I don't think I'm the only one sick of seeing this vitriol go back and forth between both sides. Please consider starting an alternate forum such as: www.jmisslsbl.com - The Joni Mitchell Isn't Showing, So Let's Start Bickering List or www.iljmbhydd.com - The I Love Joni Mitchell But Hope You Drop Dead List I almost wish the tribute concert wasn't happening so I didn't have to read this crap everyday. I subscribed to the "Joni only" list to avoid these kinds of off topic rants. Please take it elsewhere. Until then, if you want me, I'll be in the bar.

Thanks so much. Sad to see the JMDL site go.

Having produced Tributes to Joni Mitchell over the past several years (& other artists) to benefit our local music programs I can tell you that it is always so exciting to hear other artists interpret her songs in their own style. And what a roster of incredible artists for this show! Once I had someone attend who expected Joni to be performing which really surprised me. Mack, this show was never billed as a Joni Mitchell concert. A tribute to an artist does not imply the artist will be there. I am pretty sure everyone who bought tickets did so knowing that it was only a hope that Joni might attend. >I suppose that might be the case if I were going. Then I would be very livid. I am angry and have every right to be for my friends that are going. No excuse as far as I am concerned.< ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 22:51:12 -0800 (PST) From: "Kay Ashley" Subject: NIGHT IN THE CITY @ Rockwood Music Hall 2/2/06 That's right, Listas -- it's official.
