I find this kind of thing just fascinating. I wonder if it the change was prompted by something going on with her right at the time (or just before) she was recording. The process of writing and rhyming while living a life is so weird and wonderful, so personal, and yet so public. Thanks!

No doubt she had her reasons, and I'm sure they were all fine. ;-)> - --- Now me (Jim) --- Uh-oh! Now you're doing Patti's thing: OCQD (obsessive-compulsive quoting disease). The only known cure is continuous immmersion in "Stairway to Heaven", "Freebird", "Highway to Hell", "Highway Song", "Turn the Page", "Toys In the Attic", and "Crazy Train" for two days. (We have a station here in Dayton which played those songs back in the day, but kept on playing them for 30 years. Back then, they played The E Street Band and Steely Dan too but those are gone from the format now.) - --- Bob S. --- I know it's late (but it's never too late around here). I do not know if this was mentioned during the thread, but I was listening to the Joni/James BBC concert from 1970 (the version Bob Muller sent to me with the "extensions" - was ACOY an encore, or outtakes ?). In that version, Joni sings "and I'm drawn to those ones that a'int" without adding "afraid". PS - James' guitar playing from that concert on A Case of You and California was much more unrestrained than the arrangements that Joni selected ("held him to ?") on Blue. Really fun stuff, IMO. Still, from an artistic point of view, I suspect that Joni may have judged that such extensive virtuosity probably distracted from the emotion she considered to be the focus of the songs. Even California is a bittersweet song, not a playful romp. - --- Now me (Jim) --- Yeah, that was a fine hour. Were the extra tracks these? Aircheck- Tape Source (UK Broadcast) 12 Hunter JM 13 River JM 14 My Old Man JM 15 A Case Of You JM + JT 16 Carey (w/complete intro) JM If so, tracks 12- 16 were taped from the radio in the UK. No one I know has the playlist for that show; no way to know the order. All the best, Jim L'Hommedieu #I couldn't believe that there was anybody that good.# David Crosby ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 06:37:33 +0200 (CEST) From: Joseph Palis Subject: brief Joni mention in Newsweek Hi y'all ~ Apologies if this was already mentioned but a brief Joni mention appeared in the July 17, 2006 issue of Newsweek, p. 61. The mention is found in a small box that is part of a larger article called "Geezer-Pleasers". Joni's picture was given space along with Janis Joplin, Neil Young and Television (the band) under the box "New Blood for the iPod" where pandora.com, mystrands.com, mog.com and last.fm were featured. Under MyStrands.com, it says: "Uses theory of "wisdom of crowds" to give hints based on every song you play. INPUT - Joni Mitchell OUTPUT - Sarah Harmer Harmer is more contrified than Mitchell, but is a younger singer in the tradition of those great 1970s singer-songwriters".

While browsing through youtube, I typed "Big Yellow Taxi" and out came various versions of "Big Yellow Taxi". One from Greenday which supposedly predated that of Counting Crows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrrnrDSRogs Then there's Counting Crows' live version of it (no date mentioned) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPwEdeOfkbQ But best of all is this Chipmunk version with the most hilarious lipsynch job ever of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6NGPxTe77s Joseph in Chapel Hill (who recommends Hou Hsia Hsien's latest film "Three Times" to cineastes who like their films slow and subtle) - --------------------------------- Dicouvrez un nouveau moyen de poser toutes vos questions quelque soit le sujet !
